The Dal'es, Oregon, April 8, 1908.
To the Students u the Wallowa
CounGy High School: Since your kind
letter Of congratulation upon the oc-
casion Of our victory in debate here
over your team | have often thought
should write and in the name of our
school thank you but lack OF time has
prevented. Aa | must write Mr..
Moore on q matter of business this
morning / take this opportunity OF
performing deferred duty. We are
very grateful for your courteous act
1t is quite unusual, particularly when
we won by so low q margin and shows
commendable spirit. | thoroughly
detest anything or any act that pa,-
takes OF the nature of what is in slang
called the "baby act" and l try to
teach my pupils when they are de-
feated to meet it with n smile on their
faces and without unfavorable com
ment and work the harder for the next
contest. That spirit you certainly
have. Now word in regard TO the
debate. You have the strongest de.
batting team it has been our fortune to
meet this year. was not present al
Baker City when we met them but
judge from what mas been told me that
you have the stronger team and that
vour orou,nantS mara prooantad e., =,
better manner. Your young people
here did remarkably we'll. Your re-
buttal was the Unly thing which
caused you to lose the debate Your
leader presented his argument, which
was strong, in manner which would
do credit to college debater, but did
not do we'll in rebdttal. He needs
practice. With sufficient practice To
enable him to think clearly on his
feet he should become as strong and
| believe the strongest high school
debater in the state. hope when he
completes his high school course in
your school he will enter the state
university and work for place on the
debating team. H. he does we shall
certainly hear from him. The two
girls presented excellent argument and
reflected credit uron their school.
Their manner OF delivery pleased
the people and caused much favorable
comment / myself prefer the man
ner Of delivery used by the leader to
| the eIocutionary pose and manner and
gestures used by the other speakers but
Tmay be wrong in that. In short you
have reason to be proud Of your team
and congratulate you most heartily
OH the superior showing which they
made here.
Hoping weYmay meet you again in
the forensic arena and wishing you
success everywhere except IN your
contests with us, | remain,
Sincerely yours,

Enterprise Girl
Is Fine Musician

Miss Joyce Craig, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George s. Craig of this city,
scored II fine triumph in her gradual
ton recital at Whitman college, and
is accorded high praise by the Walla
Walla pagers. Miss Craig was born in
Enterprise and her many friends here
who have heard h :r beautiful voice,
know there is NO overstatement in the
following comments:
Walla Wala Evening Statesman:
Miss Joyce Craig's graduation re-
cital in Whitman college chapel lasl
night proved one Of the most popular
musical events of the season. The
large auditorium was filled to the
doors with her many friends and none
were disappointed.
"Miss Craig has been a pupil in the
conservatory for four Years and is an
accomplished musician. She has a
beautiful soprano voice which is known
for Its clearness and delicacy OF tone
Al the piano she Is an artist and she
graduates as one of the most accnn-
plished pianists and vocnlists the
Whitman conservatory has ever turned
out. She is "a pupil OF Prof. Jackson in
voice and Of Prof Schofield in piano.
"Sh- was assisted last night by Prof.
Schofield at the organ, Miss Despair
at the piano and by Miss Crowell,
violinist.' a
Walla Walla Daily Union:
"From the opening aria, Jerusalem,
Thou That Killest the PROPHETS from
Mendelssohn, which was rendered
with rare charm, to the closing con-
cArto in q minor, Op. 20, also by Men.
dess )hn, with the Cadenza by Mr..
Schofield, Miss Craig held the atten-
ton of her audience.
THE program was varied and
pleasing. Miss Craig's voice. carefully
trained and well modulated, lent a
peculiar grace and beauty to all OF her
vocal numbers. This was particularly
noticeable in Schumann's Die Lotus
blume, Beethoven's Sonata, and a
delightful song cycle, including num-
bers from Spring, Summer, Autumn,
with violin accompaniment) and
Winter, as we'll as in others.
SIN the various piano mum bers, Miss
Craig's musical talent was displayed
to equal advantage. Her sympathetic
touch, and skillful and accurate rem
dition OF some of the most difficult
compositions of the great masters
brought forth prolonged applause flom
the audience
"Miss Craig has been studying faith
fully in the Conservatory for the past
four years, during which she has sue
cessfully completed the severe course
in both piano and vocal departments,
an accomplishment wholly unusual.
II last nights recital is any criterion,
brilliant future is certainly in stole
for the young artist" m

Marion Gouse's driving team ran
away for the second time last Thursday
afternoon. This time Mr.. Grouse was
in the buggy but was powerless to hold
the horses. They started on hard run
as soon as he got in the buggy at GAINS
furniture store, and when it became ap-
parent to him that he could not hold
them he used head work and kept tn EN-
in the middle Of the road. When they
got to the Elm Creek bridge load Of
hay was crossing the bridge and Mr..
Grouse with excellent judgment turned
the team into the creek and although it
was narrow passage way, the team got
into the trail without oyerturning the
buggy. The sand and water broke the
speed Of the team and Mr.. Grouse had
them under control after the stream was
crossed. No damage was done but it
was horror to the onlookers. The
buggy reeled from side to side as the
horses ran and at the railroad crossing il
went high in the air. 1t was wonderful
that MIR. Grouse was not thrown out.
When the horses were stopped he had
little strength left. The creek probably
saved him from being severely crippled
and perhaps from being killed. Before
going home he provided himself with
new lines and severe bits. This was
the second runaway for thi: team. A
few weeks ago they broke loose and ran
away but no one was in the buggy. It
is hne team and It is very unfortunate
that it is not trusty.
