BETTER TRAIN SERVICE
New Daily Passenger Between PORT
land and Dallas Made First
Trip, Tuesday.

| Promptly at 10 IA o'clock Tuesday
morning, just one minute ahead of
schedule time, the new morning
passenger train from Portland pulled
into the Dallas depot. The train was
made up of a combination mail and
baggage car and two passenger
coaches, and was in charge of Con-
ductor Guy. Bill Batman, one of the
Oldest engineers in the employ of the
Southern Pacific Company, was at
the throttle. The coaches were we'll
filled when the train left Jefferson
street, and a goodly number of
the passengers came through to
Dallas.
The train will hereafter arrive in
Dallas at 10 AS a. m,, one hour earlier
than was first announced. This
change will be greatly appreciated by
patrons of the road, as connection will
be made with the West Side passenger
train at McMinnville, thus accommo-
dating large number Of people be-
tween that city and Portland.
The new train is not carrying mail
at present, but it is understood that
the Department will arrange for the
morning service within the next two
weeks. W. R. Ellis, the local agent
for the Oregonian, is already re-
ceiving the paper on the morning
train. The change in the delivery of
the paper to an earlier hour is greatly
appreciated by the subscribers, and
an increased subscription list is sure
to result.
The morning passenger, mail and |
express service over the Yamhill |
division fills a long-felt want, and it
is believed that the new train will re-
ceive liberal patronage as soon as the
schedule becomes familiar to the
public.

''The peculiar, suggestive and in
appropriate emblem of frog under
an umbrella is one of the numerous
wet signs that should be cut out by
Oregonians," rightly suggests the
Toledo Leader. while it rains some
in Oregon, it also rains some in other
states-and in some states it doesn't
rain enough. Oregon's rainfall is
not drawback, but a blessing. :"
The newspaper men of this state never
did a wiser thing than when they
voted to cease using the word "web-
foot" That nickname cost Oregon
millions of dollars.

SCHOOL YEAR CLOSES
Bright Students Receive Diplomas
From Tenth Grade Of Falls City
Public School.

FALLS CITY, Or, July 2-Las
week witnessed the closing of the
Falls City public schools. The schoo
authorities of this place are to be con-
graduated upon the success Of a
series of excellent programs, begin,
ming Thursday evening and ending
Saturday night.
The first of the series was an enter
tainment by the primary and inter
mediate departments. This was
thoroughly enjoyable and showed
painstaking preparation on the part
of both teachers and pupils.
Friday evening, Wagner's new hall
was filled to overfowing with the
Falls City public, come to witness the
graduation Of the tenth grade. The
program was the regulation COM
mencement program, consisting of
orations by the graduates, interspersed
with musical numbers. The final
musical selection was preceded by an
address by Supt. G. L. Starr and the
presentation of diplomas by George
w. Tioe, president of the board.
The graduates, numbering seven,
delivered their very worthy pro-
ductions in a manner entirely pleas
ing. In both thought and expression
they did credit to themselves and to
their alma mater. The valedictory
was given by H. Elmer Barnha1t,
whose scholarship deserves special
mention. The music, furnished by
the Rickreall orchestra, assisted by
Prof. VIM. Caldwell, of Dallas, and
by local talent, was of high order of
excellence and was thoroughly appre
ciated
Supt. Starr, in his address to the
class, by way of preface, gave ex-
preston to the hope that the time
would soon come when all gradu-
ations in the Falls City public schools
would be from the tenth or twelfth
grades. He then proceeded to give
one Of his usual excellent addresses
full Of practical common sense, en-
riched and bAautified with lofty senti-
ment charging the class to be true to
,he high ideals set forth in their own
Following this address, Chairman
George w. Tice, in a few well-chosen
words, presented the diplomas The
'vening closed with music and con-
yratulations, and everybody went
lone we'll pleased with the commence
nent exercises of 1906.
This article would be incomplete if,
'efore closing, we neglected to say a
ew words in commentator of Prin-
ipal Fl. @. Seymour, who for the past
hree years has labored so success
ully for the improvement and pro-
'ress of the Falls City schools, and
as made such a commencement
ossible. His wide circle of friends
9gret that this is his last year in
'alls City, but, since they cannot
ope to keep him, wish him abundant
lccess in the larger field into which

The one weak point of the Oregon
registration law-the section permit
ting affidavit voting-will doubtless
be remedied by the next Legislature.
1t may be that the law will be SO
changed as to prohibit any one voting
hereafter who is not registered. The
adoption of such an amendment
would, it is believed, put stop to
Illegal voting altogether. The regis
tration books are kept open for many
weeks prior to the election, and if a
voter fails to register when given
ample opportunity to do so, his neglect
should be taken as conclusive evidence
that he does not desire to exercise his
franchise.

Latest Order from the Secretary Der

Washington. Nov. 27.-The
War Department issued the follow
ing statement today concerning the
negro troops ordered dimissed at
Fl. Reno: "In the matter of ord
er discharging enlisted men of three
companies of twenty-6fth infantry
issued by the president, application
was presented to the Secretary Of
War by a number Of persons Of
standing asking for a rehearing by
the President. The secretary tele-
graphed the president Of the appli-
cation aud delayed proceedings of
discharge until the president could
indicate his wishes. The secretary
was meantime called out of town
and no answer was received trom
the President. The Secretary on
his return did not feel justified in
further delaying that execution Of
the order Of discharge, especially
in view Of the fact that the secre
tary then learned that the President
had fully and exhaustively consid-
cred the argument against the ord.
er Of persons who now applied for
a hearing. Accordingly the Secre-
tary directed Tuesday that proceed
iugs tor discharge be continued
without delay"
