At the Methodist church tonight
will be held the annual commence
ment exercises OF the Pendleton high
school and a class OF 16 will be given
diplomas. The program will COM
mence at S:15 and owing to the large
number in the graduating class and
the general popularity Of the high
school the big church will be crowd
ed for the occasion.
On the program tonight the grad
yates will be represented by Orville
G.. Reeves, salutatorian, and by Miss
Irene Rippey, the valedctorian of
the class.
The commencement address will be
by Homer d. Angel, a young attorney
OF Portland and a graduate of the uni
verslty OF oregon. At the conclu-
sion Of the program the diplomas
will be presented by DR.. c. j. Smith,
president Of the school board.
The Class Program.
With a splendid class day program
at the Methodist church last night
the seniors OF the high school made
their last appearances as such and to-
night they will be the graduating
class OF 1908.
For the class day affair the big
church was filled with admiring
friends and relatives last evening and
among those who knew the students
there was wide praise for the work
of the students and likewise for the
high school faculty under whose
guidance the class has been trained.
During the program Orville
Reeves. who is to be the salutatorian
tonight, acted as presiding officer and
served most creditably. The program
that was rendered included an Grafton
or some other number from every
member OF the class. without ex-
ception the orations were good and
most of them showed careful prep
aration. But perhaps the two most
appreciated numbers were the class
epitaph by Albert Gibson and the
class prophecy by Miss Delva St. Clair.
For the last number the church was
darkened, with the exception of one
light and the prophecies appeared as
a ghost.

FRIED GRASSHOPPERS
GOOD, SAYS WOODBURY.

Bangor, Me-, Oct. 13.-Countless
millions of grasshoppers have invad-
ed Franklin county, doing much dam
age to crops of all kinds. But Orrin
Woodbury., nature man of Temple,
welcomes their appearance, for he
eats them, nicely friend in batter, Like
st. John, who ate locusts and wild
honey, Mr.. Woodbury., who once lived
on a milk diet seven years to change
his body and cleanse it, lives for the
present on hopper fry" His pro-
cedure Is about as follows:
Large bed sheets are spread on the
grass and soon they are literally COW
cred with hoppers of all sizes and
kinds. A hasty gathering up of the
cloths always results in a good catch
of fine, juicy grasshoppers. which are
killed by passing them through a
flame that also removes their wings
and legs. Then Chef Woodbury. pre-
pares rich and creamy batter. in
which he dumps the hoppers. Soon
arises an odor from the frying pan
that even doubling Thomases admit
is pleasing,
"Are they good?" echoes Mr.. Wood
bury, well try few and see,"
But no one can be induced to try.

Judge Williams of Portland. Was the
Colleagues of Thaddeus Stevens, Pic
tured in "The Clansman" as Austin
Stoneman-Secured the Franchise
for the Negro-Sentimen Now Fa-
vors a Fair Hearing for the Re-
construction Drama.

The presentation of "The Clans
man" has excited greater interest in
Oregon than any other play which has
come west Governor George E,
Chamberlain has announced his inten-
ton of seeing it at Portland tomor-
row night.
Former United States Senator and
Attorney General George H. Williams
Is another eminent Oregonian who
will view "The Clansman." The VEN
erable Judge Williams is 81 years
old, but he is deeply interested in
this play which deals with historical
scenes and incidents in which he took
leading part.
1t is interesting to note that the
state constitution of Oregon expressly
excluded negroes from the elective
franchise. This provision was nulli-
fled by the federal 14th and 18th
amendments, for which Judge Will
lams was sponsor and part author,
and the enactment which led to the
negro-carpetbagger rule in the south
His colleagues in the reconstruction
movement was Thaddeus Stevens, who
is pictured in 'The Clansman" as
Austin Stoneman.
The negroes of Portland have been
trying to get Mayor Lane and the
municipal council to suppress "The
Clansman," but the authorities have
declined to act The sentiment in
this state seems to be that whereas
"Uncle Toms Cabin" has been widely
played and applauded hereabouts. It
is only fair to give the other side
chance and hear "The Clansman,"
showing the wrongs suffered by the
south during the egro-carpetbagge
regime.

work on the immense power house
to be constructed on the upper Walla
Walla river about eight miles above
the present power house of the North

the Walla Walla Union.
All that is holding the work back
now is the action of the city council
in granting a franchise allowing the
copany to operate and maintain a
power station in Walla Walla.
The franchise was introduced at the
last meeting of the council Monday
night, and read through its first read
ing. 1t was then referred to the
council as n whole. TO be acted upon
finally at an djourned meeting to be
held next Tuesday night. That the

The Washington Oregon Traction

point (not of6cially). In every
lodge that I have visited, I have
heard Bemidji and the State meet
mentioned. 1t is my opinion that
you will get a very large delegation
from the Twin cities, as many of the
brothers have never been to your
city and will 60 out of curiosity if
nothing else. Fergus Falls seems
anxious to get out, which will be
their first visit away from home.
Crookston is printing her German
band and Elk quartette for the
occasion. The lodges on the range
will come down strong. I think the
more time spent to get the brothers
to take their families along, the more
successful will be the gathering. At
least I thought that the lady feature
at the meeting at Saltwater added
greatly to the success of the occa-
sion. Indications point to the larg-
est gathering of Elks ever assembled
at any of the state meetings, and
every lodge has its eye on Bemidji,
1852, for July 6-7-8."
Everything is moving along nicely
for the state meeting to be held in
Bemidji July 6-7-S, and all the COM
mittees are working harmoniously.
AS suggested by the district deputy
grand master, the Bemidji lodge is
featuring the lady visitors during
the meet, and a special committee,
composed of wives of local Elks, will
care for them.

Tide Of immigration.

Now that the tide of immigration
has been turned from the Canadian
northwest, I look for an influx of
landseekers and homebuilders to the
fertile lands of northern Minnesota
during the coming year." said S. ].
Ellison of St. Paul, assistant general
passenger agent for the Great
Northern railway company, who was
in the city yestesday. /
Mr.. Ellison is close observer of
conditions throughout the northwest
and in Canada, and his predictions
that there will be healthy move
ment in land matters in this part of
the state is an encouraging indica-
ton Of forthcoming activity.
Mr.. Ellison states that since the
tide of immigration has been
turned FRONT Canada, landsand inNorth
Dakota that were at one time
considered as cheap lands for
investors, are now much dearer
than the excellent lands which
are operating to the thrifty fertile
soil throughout northern Minnesota.
Lands in this part of the state
are much cheaper than those in
the Dakotas, according to Mr..
Ellison, and they will be in most
every way as desirable when some
conditions are complied with.
The recent demonstration of the
farmers living in this part of the
state, showing that these lands are
very fertile, has lent added interest
to those desiring investments in
lands, and who also want new
homes.
Mr.. Ellison states that his com.
pany will cooperate in every way in
assisting the members of the local
committees in making success OF
the forthcoming meeting of the State
Association of Elks and that equip
ment will be furnished sufficient to
properly handle the crowds that will
come to Bemidji at that. time.
