HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
The Members OF the High School
Acquit Themselves Nobly.

The Commencement exercises
of the graduating class of the Nc
Connellsburg High School were
held in the Court House last
Thursday evening.
The weather was fine; and not.
withstanding the fact that there
was "mediclne show" on the
street, standing room in the large
court room was at premium an
hour before the exercises began.
The class and their friends had
taken especial pains in the deco
rations, and as the class of thir-
teen, eleven of whom were pretty
girls, tastefully gowned in white,
was seated on the platform with
solid bank of evergreens and
blooming plants, as a background
the effect was most pleasing.
The exercises began promptly
at s o'clock, when Rev. S. B. Hous
ton stepped onto the platform
and impressively invoked the Di-
vine blessing. Clarence E. Sc
vile, president of the class, made
the opening address; Jess Dick
son, the salutatory Lillian Girls
singer, the class Grafton Hattie
B. Kendall gave the class history;
Paul Imbrie Johnston peered ten
years into the future and told
what he saw of the different
mem mbers of the class at that dis
tant period. Bess Irwin gave
some wholesome counsel to the
undergraduates, and Grace E.
Sinner very gracefully gave the
goodbye" speech. Well writ
ten essays were read by. Helen
Fore, Mary Houston and Hattye
Doyle; and Marden Stouteaele
and Ruth Kendall recited very
effectively. 1t was left to bessie
Kendall to distribute to the mem
bers of the class Il memento of
the occasion, that was intended
to be more or less suggestive of
the character of the recipient.
The Address to Graduates was
delivered by Superintendent Bar
ton, and was full of excellent
thought.
1t was now past ten o'clock,
and Secretary of the School
Board A. U. Mace came forward,
and in few earnest words made |
each member happy in the pos
session of that, the obtaining Of |
which had spurred him on in ma
ny a weary hour of study,-the |
diploma
The literary exercises were oc-
casionally sandwiched with a
musical selection by the McCon
nellsburg orchestra, which was
ably assisted by Prof. Joseph
Kissel and daughter Miss Dessa
of st. Thomas, and by Mr.. j. e.
Durnln of Carlisle, a travelling
salesman who happened to be in
town that evening. Mr.. Durnin
is skillful performer on the vio-
lin and a very agreeable gentle
man. Prof. Kissel rendered two
or three cOrnet solos very much
to the delight of the audience
His daughter played the organ,
accompaniment, and although
but thirteen years of age, showed
rare musical talent.
McConnellsburg has good rea-
son to be proud of her High
School, and the school board and
the effective corps of teachers
should feel that they have been
able to hand to the ublic in these
classes the most ilattering testl-
monials of the efficiency of their
work.

II. k. BONN.

p. Il. BONN.
Philip Reamer Bohn was born
July 2S, 1928, at McConnellsburg
Pa, where his youth was spent.
Later he drifted towards the west
and became familiar with much
OF the country. He spent thirteen
years in Muscatine, Iowa, where
he made friends with the entire
community. 1t was during his
residence in Iowa that he went
out with one of the regiments
during the Civil War in the capaci-
ty of Quartermaster, in which de-
partment he served during the
war. After the war was over he
removed to Pittsburg where he
became an honored employee Of
the well known firm of Reymer
Brothers, and his trait of abso-
Lutte reliability was most notable
among all with whom he had bus.
mess transactions. He removed
to Parker about the year of ~ to
his pleasant residence on the
Bluff, as he would be more cen.
trally located for the work in
which he was engaged, and he
lived there until his death which
occurred on Wednesday Of last
week. He continued his active
work until a year ago when fail
ing health bade him rest from his
labors.
He was married in November,
1852, TO Miss Susan Gibson of
Circleville, Ohio, who died July ),
1896. TO them was born nine
all having proceeded
their parents to eternal rest save
one, George Bohn, of Indianapo-
ls, Ind. He is survived by one
half brother of Minneapolis,
Minn., and one sister, Miss Mary
Bohn of this city. The latter has
for many years cheered his home
by her pleasant ways and has
faithfully ministered to him since
his declining strength has made
assistance imperative.
Mr.. Bohn has long been a mem
Der of the Royal Arcanum and
the Knights of Honor, thus pro-
yiding for the future welfare of
her who mourns for a brother
dead.
The Parker Phoenix, from
which we clip the above, says the
young as well as the older wIere
his friends and it was always his
delight TO gather them about
him. He was never too busy or
ipp i'll to stop a moment for a
kind word for all. He thought of
others, then himself. 1t is no
wonder then that the loss of such
- man causes universal mourn
ing and brings sorrow into many
homes to-day

Will Build a Hotel.

John Sparks. Governor of Nevada
and one of the biggest stockmen Of the
West, is very fayorably impressed with
the future of Ogden, so much so in fact
that he is going to give the citizens of
the town a practical evidence OF his faith.
Governor Sparks owns large tract OF
land on the corner OF Twenty fifth street
and Wall avenue, just across from the
Union depot. Here he will erect one Of
the finest hotels in the West. II Gov
ernor Sparks carries out his present IN
tentions the building will be about $50
feet square aud seven stories high and
equipped IN the most modern and up to-
date fashion. In speaking OF the affair
he said that it was not his intention to
do anything that would injurc the pres
ent hotels OF the city in the least. He
says he is looking to the future, and
that he is firmly convinced that Ogden
is the coming town of the intermountain
country, and that her future fully war
rants him in investing his money there.

Should
Cooperate.

Every good thing comes from old
Mother Earth. The future hope of
every country depends upon its sturdy
soil tillers. The men who have "grown
from the ground up" are the ones who
have fought the battles of the world.
The safeguard of the nation lies 10 a
largo and prosperous rural population.
The day is not far distant. however,
when the homeseeker will find out what
a splendid opportunity is here offered,
and begin to drift in. Then a perfect
irrigation system will be established, the
large holdings will be cut up into small
farms, numerous creameries, starch
factory and possibly beet sugar fac
tory will be established and thrifty
homes with neat. tidy residences aud out
buildings will dot each 16O.acre tract of
land where now only flourishes the sage
brush and the greasewood. All that is
necessary to bring about this new con-
dition of things is to advertise our re-
sources to the outside world and get the
tide of immigration headed this way.
In our humble way we shall endeavor to
start tho ball a'rolling but would feel a
little more encouraged il we could no.
tice a spirit of cooperation among the
residents. However, We shall see what
time aud perseverance will bring forth in
this matter.

Why Tonopah
Will Keep
Growing.

The Salt Lake Herald contains the
following interview with Congressman
Van Duzer, in part:
Nov let me speak Of the camp and
tell you why it is sure to boom. 1t is
now practically two years old. There
are at the present time sixty-two in-
corporated companies operating there.
Fifty one shafts are at this moment going
down to develop the mines at depth.
The combined depth OF all Of them is
1860 feet, the deepest having just
reached the 740-foot mark. In addition
there has been run 10,S00 feet of drifts
and crosscuts. making total develop
ment during the two years of "a, 200 feet,
without counting the numerous pros
pect holes and other forms of surface
work which has been done. Careful fig
uring shows that this work has &C ct, on
an average, about $50 per foot, making
the aggregate expenditure something
more than $1,000000. The excessive
cost per foot is accounted for in the fact
that transportation charges and other
costs have been very high on account Of
the camps remoteness from the rail-
roads. There is now employed in the
mines of the district total of 814 men,
who receive 81 per day and up in wages.
"The Mlzpah vein has now been ex-
plored for distan OF $500 feet every
inch of the distance being in ore, while
no less than eighteen other rich gold
silver bearing veins, running parallel
and at right angles to the Mizpah, have
also been more or less explored. 1t seems
a rather extrAvagant statement to make,
| know, but am positive that il the de-
veloped ore bodies of the camp were
measured up and sampled to morrow
the most conservative mining engineer
would he forced to acknowledge that
there is not less than $l00,000,000 10
sight. With that kind OF showing
fail to see why the camp should not
BOOM"

ment Of Nevada mining properties. Mr..
Van Duzer is always on the alert for
