GRADUATING
EXERCISES
District No. 83 Sends Out Its
First Graduating
Class.

A very interesting event in the
history of School District No. 80,
town of Lake Lillian, occurred last
Friday evening, when the first
graduation exercises of the school
were held. The members of the
class were Dellmar G. Johnson,
Amanda Williamson and Huldah
Williamson. The last mentioned
was, however. prevented by sick
ness from being present.
0. E. Erickson, director of the
school board, presided. The pro-
gram opened with a selection by
the orchestra, and was interspersed
with instrumental selections and
songs by the Evening School Chor~
US. Dellmar G. johnson gave
very creditable rendition of Fri
thiof's Temptation" in English
translation. Miss Amanda Will
amson gave an excellent rendition
of Poe's masterpiece, ''The Raven
Supt. w. D. Frederickson spoke on
the value of education, especially
emphasizing its value in a business
sense. He showed by statistics that
a person with a High school educa-
tion has a much greater earning ca
pacity than one without it. He al
so emphasized the value of a thoro
common school education, and urged
the people to see to it that their
children got all the good possible
out of the money expended on the
schools, by regular attendance. A.
o. Forsberg, a former teacher in
the school, spoke of the general VAL
ue of education, aside from it's
business value. Victor S. Knut-
sen, the teacher, then followed with
a brief talk along the same lines,
after which he presented the grad
uating class to the board. Direct
or Erickson in a few remarks, pre-
sented the diplomas, after which
the exercises closed with the sing
ing of the Doxology.
Mr.. Knutson has done excellent
work in the school the past year,
as witness the fact that in the coun-
ty examinations Dist. 50 sent in Is
papers-the largest number from
any country school and even sur
passing the semi-graded schools.
The board showed its appreciation
of his faithful and efficient work
by offering him the school for next
year at an advance of five dollars a
month in salary.

systems and similar institutions. Inc
lasting qualities of wooden pipe have
been fully demonstrated in various
cities of the United States as well
as in Tacoma.
In Victoria, B. c., in 1901, the water
works system of the city was extern
sively repaired and remOdelled and
the wooden mains and pipes were
taken up and replaced. The only cause
for this was that the city had out
grown the capacity of the mains,
which had been laid in 1862, and were
found to be in practically as good con-
dition as when the water was first
turned into them, thirty nine years
previously. At Walla Walla wooden
pipe water mains have been taken
out of the ground after thirty-five
years of use and found to be in per-
feet condition. Denver, Col, has
nearly 100 miles of wooden stave pipe
in use. All water brought to that
city for domestic purposes passes
through wooden pipe.
One system of wooden pipe was in
service in Boston, Mass, from 1862 to
1896 and was then replaced by an
other which lasted until 1848. Boxed
pine logs, used for watermains at
Portsmouth, N. H., from 1897 to 1896,
when removed on account of the de-
mand for larger mains, were found to
be entirely sound. At Burlington, n.
J.. the first water works were built
in 1904, wooden pipe purchased from
Philadelphia, where it had been In
use for many years and removed to
put in larger mains, being secured by
the city. 1t was not until 1887 that 1t
was necessary to remove This pipe and
then only on account OF the city re-
curing larger works and mains. Over
in London wooden water pipes were
dug up quite recently which had been
in the ground two centuries and were
found to be still excellently preserved.
In one instance two mains were con-
nected by castiron bands.
This is the kind of pipe that the
Washington Pipe & Foundry Company
turns out, only with the added i'm
provements and durability that mod
ern inventive genius and machinery
