ORLEANS COMMENCEMENT WEEK.
C. L. sHAEFFER, Local Editor

A large and enthusiastic audience
gathered in the opera hall last Friday
afternoon at o'clock to listen to the
graduating exercises of the grammar
school. A most excellent program
was rendered and the members of the
class brought great credit upon them
selves and their teacher, Miss Lucy
Martin, by the manner in which they
acquitted themselves. The subjects
treated showed considerable originality
and research and the work was highly
commendable. The essay by George
Rowell on 1.-The Ideals and Ambitions
of Boy" was certainly original and
wholly to the point. The following
was the program rendered: music,
High School orchestra; prayer, Rev.
G. L. Shaeffer salutatory with, essay,

Changing Historical Names.

The following recently appeared in
the Stanstead Journal: During the
past few years the tendency toward
changing the names of the smaller vii
lagos has become something of a fad.
If it does not develope into "habit"
we shall perhaps, be fortunate.
There is, however, at the present
time at least one encouraging sign.
AS the novelty of the new name be-
gins to wear off the staid, conserv-
alive iuhabitant is beginning to Won
der if he has not been selling his
birthright for meal of pottage.
GA letter received this week from
a we'll known business man at Or
leans, formerly Barton Landing, VT,
brings this to mind, Nearer home, on
the trains as well as elsewhere, one
frequently hears expressions of dis
approval of the change of Stanstead
Junction to Beebe Junction. Those
who do not take kindly to the change
have been pointing out that, all over
the country, junction points usually
bear the names of terminal stations
on branches rather than those of in
termediate stations. They say also
that the historic name was more Gu

First Prize.

At the Omaha Corn Show. Phillips
county took the first prize for the best
10 ears of corn west of the 100 meridi-
an, four hundred dollar silo.
The commercial club, few days ago,
received the first prize ribbon and an
order for this silo from the manufactur-
err, Mr.. H. c. Hargrove, Des Moincs,
Iowa, who showed his great interest in
the corn show by offering this premium.
The ) viii be shipped pa soon as the
order Is sent in.
This silo will afford good opportu-
nifty to test the merits Of silo prepared
feed for stock. This has been talked
about and written about but has never
been tested in Phillips county. There
is certainly good reason for believing
that silo prepared feed will be found
quite profitable in this part of the coun-
try especially for dairy cows and II is
to be hoped that this test may be made
by some party who has enough faith in
the success OF the undertaking TO make
a thorough test.

The Meat.Eaters Strike.

The strike OF meat caters seems TO
be growing rapidly. The idea seems
very popular with certain class OF
people. but many Of those who are join
ing in The move have never stopped to
consider the probable results Of their
action.
If Il were possible, by rcfraining
from eating meat, 10 force the meat
trusts to behave themselves and be
satisfied with decent per cent ofprof'
Il on their capital Invested. then the
strike would have much merit, but such
result cannot reasonably be hoped
for. Al that can DO reasonably OK.
pectcd from the strike is n temporary
drop In the price Of meats which moans
corresponding drop In the price Of
live stock and, instead Of touching the
pocket Of the meat trust, II will simply
cut the price paid to the s,oekman. II
will also give the meat trust mn excuse
not only for reducing the price Of live
stock. but for keeping this price re-
duced til the winter supply has boon
bought and packed, which supply will
be rctailcd TO the public at tho prices
charged before The ttiike.

he town of Windsor has an ordinance
prohibiting parties from soliciting any
person to purchase liquor. Some time
ago salesman for a Denver liquor
house was arrested for violating this
ordinance. The case finally was taken
to the supreme court and the ordinance
was held good. Other towns are now
following the example of Windsor and
the result will be that the travelling
salesman for liquor houses will soon be
out Of job so far as many of the towns
of the state are concerned.

Alaska Coal.

John f. Ballaine Of Seattle has made
a proposition to lease from Uncle Sam
5000 acres Of the Alaska coal land and
pay for the same 80 cents per ton for
all coal mined from the land. He claims
that much OF the choicest coal land, un'
der such a lease as this, would pay
Uncle Sam 1000 per acre and esti-
mates the returns from the whole coal
land at the enormous amount OF $780,
900, 900.
Some capitalists have been wanting
to purchase this coal land from Uncle
Sam at the small sum OF $40 per acre.
From this offer OF Mr.. Ballaino and the
facts given by him to show the reason
ablencss OF the offer, Il would seem to
be the part Of wisdom for Uncle Sam to
make haste slowly, and very slowly too.
in accepting the small offers that are
being made by the coal trust for the
purchase Of these coal lands.
