Fire Alarm Causes Excitement.

The citizens we're somewhat excited
last Friday evening as the fire bell
sounded her warning alarm to the
inhabitants of the village. All we're
at a loss to know where in what
quarter of the city the fire was loca
ted. After some promiscuous run.
ming about it was discovered that the
Hood River wagon bridge was ON fire
again. The fire company responded
promptly to the call, but when they
arrived near the scene they were in
formed that the flames had been
nipped in the bud, and that it would
not be necessary for them to proceed
farther. The fire was near the place
where the previous one had occurred.
1t was Immediately discovered and
quenched.

CURED the last event OF the nigh
school commencement exercises. p.
l.. Campbell, president of the univer-
sity of Oregon, expected to be pres
ent to deliver the class address, but
being a member of the state text book
c :mmission be found that If he did
Justice to the 500 aud more text DO ks
he is to examine and pass judgment
upon it would be impossible Tor him
to be present. So he sent Ptof. +. S
Dunn to take his place.
Prof Dunn addressed his remarks
chiefly TO the class, but the entire
audience seemed to fully appreciate
them. lie transported his hearers
back almost 1000 years and introduced
them to u historical character of that
time. During the introduction of the
subject all we're mentally guessing who
the character might be until the
speaker said that the terse epigram
81 came, saw, conquered" might
be applied to every phase OF the en-
tire life OF this man, when small
boy sitting in the front row shyly
whispered, 81 know who said that.
1t was Julius Caesar.
Prof. Dunn's delivery is simple anil
natural. His word pictures are so
vivid and life-like one can all but see
the scenes and persons he describes.
He described the private and public
character of his subject so forcifully
and with such apparent accuracy that
one could not but feel a greater inter.
est in Caesar, the unselish citizen,
the irerroachable public servant,
the friend of the people, the peerless
statesman, and the dauntless and un-
conquer general One could not
but realize that there we're many quail
tites in the character OF Julius Caesar
that the members of the graduating
class might well emulate.
The audience keenly enjoyed the
musical nun bers of the evening which
we're furnished by Miss Hershner,
Miss Hanna and M. Davidson. A. S.
Blowers, chairman of the school
board, presented the diplomas to the
class.
The closing event of the evening
was unique and met the applause of
the audience as we'll as that of the
junior class. Ferdinand Struck, act
ing tor the senior class, stepped to
the back of the stage and tore down
the large '07 banner OF the class, eX-
posing '0S banner in junior class
colors. Thus the seniors stepped
down and out and the juniors-sen-
iors now-will occupy the center of
the stage in the days to come.
The corps of teachers have made
themselves popular by their faithful
adherence to duty. Prot. E. E. Coad,
who has taken an active interest in
the athletic features of the school,
has made himself faithful friend to
the boys and is deserving OF special
credit in plotting the scholars to viz
tory in their recent contests with
other schools. Let US all begin to
boost and build of greater school in
