COMMENCEMENT AT
HARVARD IS HELD

At Massachusetts Hall the president,
fellows, overseers, faculties, invited
guests, a portion of the alumni, and
the candidates for degrees formed in
procession. AS in former years the
alumni exercises were in charge 81
the class celebrating the twenty
fifth anniversary of it's graduation,
the class of 1884, with Walter Cabot
Baylies as chief marshal. This class

have been 80 deaths. Seventeen re-
ceived degrees subsequent to the class

left it for Yale to pick up the shreds
of tradition and win this season. No
time made in practice, however, yet
warrants the prediction that Yale will
perform the feat.
The Harvard freshmen have shown
nothing to indi, ate that the crew will
have any waIkover when it meets the
Yal youngsters. The crew is heavy
enough, but the men are not all of
them natural oarsmen, and curiously
enough there are but two Boston boys
in the boat who had previously had
the benefit of schoolboy rowing on the
Charles river. Some of the freshmen
promise to make valuable varsity tim
Der later but at present their develop
ment is not complete.
Harvard's varsity four cared is a
good crew. 1t is a relatively better
boat than either the varsity eight or
the freshmen, and it requires no over
abundance of college enthusiasm to
pick the Harvard four as a pretty
certain winner over Yale, especially if
one considers the difficulties Coach
Kennedy at New Haven has encoun-
tered with his four.
In both of the eight Dared races
Harvard will be boated in English
made shells The varsity will row in
a boat that was built by Sims on a
hurry order, this spring, especially
with a view to carrying great weight
and is the gift of the wife of ex-Sec-
rotary Robert Bacon, whose son is a
member of the varsity crew. The
freshmen will row in a boat that Sims
built last summer upon lines of Coach
Wray who placed the order while he
was travelling abroad

GRAVESTONE UP BUT
is NOT NEEDED.
Robert Roberts, Whose Shaft Stands
at Tonopah, Is Husky, Healthy
Sumpter Miner.

SUMPTER, Ore, June 1910 be
numbered among the dead, to have
tombstone erected over his last rest
ing place, to have his share of an
Iowa estate settled up and distributed
among living heirs and still to be
alive, a strong and healthy appearing
specimen of manhood, is an experience
which Robert Roberts, a resident Of
this place, has just gone through.
Roberts has followed the ups and
downs of several mining districts dur
ing his roaming career and for this
reason his whereabouts have been lost
track of for several years by those
most interested in him. The relatives
were informed some time ago that he
had died in Nevada, and after seeing
that lis grave was marked with suit
able tombstone, proceeded to settle up
an estate in which he was interested.
After this was done and some time had
elapsed, the Iowa relatives Earned
that Robert Roberts was still living
and that the action of settling up the
estate as far as he was concerned was
illegal. In order to settle the tangle
thus incurred, a brother, G. W. Rob
erts, and a brother-in law, T. b.
Flint came here to straighten up the
matter The affair was settled yes
terday afternoon to the satisfaction OF
all concerned by the payment to
Roberts of his share of the estate.

Therefore, be it resolved, that the

of Commerce"
The above telegram means there is
a bill before congress to tax incor-
norated business institutions, While
the unincorporated are not taxable
Az viewed by the Chicago men this
would mean that all Incorporated
concerns, or at least many, would en-
deavor to annul their articles of in
corporation and would transact bust
ness unincorporated. But hundreds
of concerns do not wish to do this.
If the bill becomes a law as now
proposed, it means an unjust tax on
Incorporated concerns and another
step towards class legislation
The directors of the club instructed
Secretary A c. Moore to commune
cate with the entire Washington dele
cation in congress protesting against
the passage of the proposed law.
