CLOSING EXERCISES OF SCHOOL.

Friday night, April 26, the clos ing exercises of the public school will be given at the auditorium. Some of the best talent in school will take part in the program and all are working hard to make the occasion a success.
 The main feature of the pro- gram will be declamatory con- test for medal. This medal was offered in school three months ago, to the one who should deliver the best Reclamation at the close of school. The offer is open to stu dents of all grades and twelve ambitious youths have enrolled their names in the list of contest ants. All are striving hard to win the coveted honor and it will not be an easy task for the judges to decide who the winner shall be. Such friendly rivalry as this should be encouraged in any school and the patrons and friends will, no doubt, lend their presence and kind words to encourage the contestants.
 The musical part of the pro- gram is under the direct charges of Miss Faucette, the musical di-

GO TO WORK.

Young man, go to work There is DO time to idle now. You must carve out your own way if it is ever successfully carved. Ton must seek your fortune through industry, perseverance, and pluck. Labor is honorable, and the ip. noble are those who will not work Get you a home. Fence a field and blow it and plant it, and gath CT around you the comforts of home. And when you have made character for industry and thrift. ask some lady to share your home with you. We would say to every young lady, mark these men who are lounging around attempting to live by their wits, or on the inter. est of the debts; and when they ask you to share the lot of an aim. less life, pass them on, for you cannot afford to marry a man with. out properity, or business habits, unless you wish to sell yourself for a mess of pottage. Again we would reiterate, young man, go to work while ten men watch for chances one man makes a chance; while ten men wait for something to turn up one turns something up; while ten men fail, one succeeds, and is called the man of luck, the favorile of fortune. Luck and fortune are the result of honest en- deavor, work and toll, and if you would win, go to work!

Among the peculiar varieties OF

resides a few miles northwest OF

growing into popularity in this sec
ton and a number of orchards are
now being planted to supply the
growing demand. The Winter Ba-
mana first began to gain favor last
vear when some enterprising Ore
gonian shipped box to Andrew
Carnegie in the east. The millionaire
was so pleased with the flavor and
color of the apple that he at once
requested an additional shipment,
and this year the apple has been in
demand in the east among the rich
class.

APPLE FAIR
SUCCESS
Winter Bananas..Apples Red Clear to
the Core--Sllver Cups Given As
Prizes for willamette Valley Fruit

The Linn county apple fair was
held last week with an exhibit not
able both for quantity and quality.
The hall where the exhibit was held
was filled with benches covered with
scores of boxes of commercially pack
ed apples and tables filled with ex-
hiblts on plates. Aside from the
display of apples, which leading
Ifrultgrowers pronounced as the best
exhibit OF apples ever collected In
the upper Willamette valley, there
we're a number of special exhibits of
immense vegetables, nuts, flowers,
etc. all making a remarkable show
ing for old Linn county.
During the two days the crowds
in attendance were given an oppor-
tunity to listen to some excellent ad'
dresses and music. II. M. William
son, secretary Of the state board OF
horticulture; Prof. A. b. Cordley and
President Kerr, of the state agricul-
tural college; Governor George e.
Chamberlain, and others, delivered
addresses.
Those who visited the fair express
surprise at the excellent showing
made. Apples, the equal of which
in quality, size, color and flavor, can
be found in no other part of Oregon,
were on exhibition.
The judges are II. M William
son, c. A. Park, horticultural COM
missioner, and e. II. Rhodes, of AL
bany. They awarded the prizes as
follows:
Best collection OF Ave boxes OF

Ter, Albany, first prize (silver cup)'

OF apples, commercially packed, no
duplicates, NJ. c. jerks, Tangent
(dlploma). Il. Keebler OF Lebanon
received honorable mention In his
exhibit of five boxes OF apples, but

OF the improper method pursued In

holder stop-over in Richmond both
going and coming. without extra cost.
1t stands to reason that this arrange-
ment, which. by the way,is unique in
exposition tickets, will cause many .
dollar to be spent in Richmond by ex-
position visitors that otherwise would
go on by. Had the regular rate from
here to the exposition been placed on
the basis of the cheap Sunday excur-
sion rate. there could have been no
such arrangement as this, and further
more the roads would lose money by
handling the exposition travel turned

1t Is commended furthermore that in
order to make this #deal with other
roads, whereby they send the larger
part of the exposition travel from the
west, the north and the south through
Richmond, and offer 1t an inducement
to stop over a day or two, the lines
at this end entered into bond with con-

that they will be able to spare enough.

sale OF those bonds or any part there
Of that 1t may be interesting to show
to whom the bonds were sold and at
what figure. Certain members of the
Finance Committee have been disposed
to assert that the Board of Sinking
Fund commissioners, acting without
authority, sold portion OF tho issue
at par, when the Sinking Fund itself
had bid 101 for the entire issue, unless
a portion We're sold at that figure.
Some have charged that the Mayor
sold these bonds; others that the
