High School Notes

A reception, in the form of a
Mother Goose Party, was given to
the Freshmen October 18th. The
Freshmen came as the children OF
the "old woman who lived in the
shoe, while the upper clasSmen
aud the faculty, representing diff
terent characters from the Mother
Goose Rhymes, wore costumes ap-
propriate to their parts, each per-
son, from Old Mother Goose to
dainty Bo- Peep. aud from Old King
Coal TO Little Jack Horner, doing
his best to faithfully represent his
character. Guessing contests and
games were indulged in, in the low
er hall until late hour, when the
merry company went up stairs
where each person was told his fate.
Then came the grand march, played
by the Queen OF Hearts, aud last
but not least, refreshments were
served. The rooms were beauti-
fully decorated with streamers aud
pennants of old gold and black, the
High School colors, and autumn
leaves.
In response to the following
notice by Archie Smock, posted on
the bulletin board, the charter mem
bers OF the Athletic Association met

hall,
Do not your duty shirk,
But when you see this business call,
Come on and get to work.
Now when you see this notice,
Don't pass il by and sneer il,
Nor ask What does il mean to meF
Butcome with High School spirit"
These officers were elected
Archie Smock, president; Basil
vice president; Myrtle
Diekie, secretary; Eva Clark, |
treasurer.

A Mels,s Mast.

Among common animals few have
been less studied In their life history
than the mole. Mr.. Lionel T.. Adams
says that under the fortress which
the mole constructs above the surface
OF the ground viii always be found a
series OF tunnels running out beneath
the adjacent neld. A curious feature
almost invariably found Is a perpen-
dicular run penetrating about foot
below the bottom OF the nest and then
turning upward 10 meet another run.
A mole is never found In his nest, al
though IL may yet be warm from his
body when opened, Guided by smell
and hearing, a mole frequently locates
the nest OF a partridge or pheasant
above his run and, penetrating II from
below, eats the eggs. The adult mole
is practically blind. but there are EN-.
bryonic indications that the power OF
sight In the race has deteriorated.

w. X. Eames, oil expert, give.
report OF conditions OF the MalheuI
oil fields which appeared in the
Malheur Enterprise recently. A
few extracts read:
Never before in the history OF
the Malheur oil field has the oil
showing been SO great or SO prom
ising. Three wells have reached
the point where there seems to be
no question about their being able
to make good.
The Eastern Oregon are casing
preparatory to drilling deeper the
present size hole. They report
everything going fine and indiea.
tions very promising, They have
been drilling in a hard black rock
the past 200 feet. Mr.. Hunt, ,driller
and contractor, is of the opinion
that when this rock is passed
through that they will strike the
oil sand. II looks as though the
Eastern Oregon Co. had the grape
vine twist on adversely aud would
advise pushing ahead with all pos
sible speed,

on the noticeable features of i'm
provements in all OF the wells. First
an increased pressure and flow of
gas with strong petroleum odor;
second a presence of larger quanti-
ties OF oil OF a much darker, heavier
body aud of a less volitile nature
that leaves no doubt of its being
real thing and that the drills are in
close proximity TO oil sand.
"In conclusion | wish to repeat
my former statement made nearly
two years ago, that in the Malheur

further add that it is my opinion
that California will have to keep in
