TELLS OF METHODS

A publication known as "Our
Dumb Animals" has the following
contribution from the pen of Ethelyn
Dyer of Guymon, OKLA:
For one year I lived by the cor
ner of fenced range" This great
pasture, covering an area of many
square miles, was school land" main
ly, which means that the schools of
the state derived a part of their sup
port from its rental. Part of the pas
ture belonged to the cattleman who
run" his cattle there. The fence
riders" were supposed to make cir
horseback, to see IL any of the wires
were down, so that the cattle could
escape. Besides this their duties were
the same as those of the cowboys on
the open range.

there was a terrible blizzard, a storm

them back, hour after hour, until, just
before daybreak, a lull in the storm

them to rest.

SCHOOL BOARD TO
GO TO PORTLAND

As soon as the 100000 high school
bond issue IS disposed of, and it will
be sold Saturday if all goes well, the
members of the local school board
will go upon a junket trip to Portland
for the purpose of investigating the
buildings in that city and to inquire
into various questions that will con-
front them in connection with the err
ection of the new high school.
I'VE want to investigate the ar
rangement of high school buildings
more than anything" says ]. " Tall
man, chairman of the board. 1--WE
want the new building to be convent
emily arranged for the various classes
and so want to acquire all the infor-
nation we can upon the subject be-
fore the plans for the building are
fully decided upon"
1t is also declared by members of
the board that they will take steps to
see that the plans for the high school
call for building of suitable strength.
During the campaign for the high
school bond issue it was claimed by
some opponents of the improvement
that the Troutman plans might be
defective in this particular. Friends
of the bond issue assured such crit
les that due precautions in this regard
would be taken by members of the
board.
Bids for the 100000 bond issue
have been advertised for during the
past few weeks and April Is is the
date set for opening the offers re-
ceived. If satisfactory bids are made
the bond issue will be sold Saturday
and the members of the board will
leave for Portland that night.

Since the cross ?country race the
athletes of the high school have been
training hard for their respective
events in the coming class meet which
takes place on April is. The track
outlook this year is one of the bright
est and the various men will have
many meets in which to show their
abilities. Coach Breithaupt hopes to
be able to turn out a winning track

spare time to track work, arousing
such enthusiasm among the men as
mas never been manifest before.
Several Star Men.
TWO or three men he looks upon as
sure pointwinners, even in the big
state and tri-state meets and expects
others to show up well. Boylen, the
crack mile runner who established a
new northwest interscholastic record
of 4:45 in the mile run, and who re-
Gently won the cross-country run. is
ready to show his heels to all mile
championship aspirants.
Captain Gordon, who won all the
sprlnts in the Eastern Oregon meet in
1903, is showing greater speed and
from than ever before. Last year on
account of illness he did not get a
place in the meet at La Grande.
In the weights, Devine is develop
ing into a whirlwind, and the manage
ment is almost bankrupt trying to
pay for the hammers, shots and dis
cusses he has thrown away.
With these men as a foundation for
the team, and such men as Taylor
Chapman, Finnell, A. Jordan, C. Jor-
dan, Dickson, Fee and others, to get
the points left after the stars get
through, fast track team should be
developed.
Six Meets,
At the present time there are six
meets in sight: The class meet on
the 18th of April; Umatilla county
meet at Athena, April 20; University
of Oregon state meet, May 1910. A.
c. state meet, May 20, and the eastern
oregon meet later. The tri-state meet

Logan will be free from alluring

Prohibition will make it easier for
the college authorities to look after
and keep straight the young men who
come from distant points and are
consequently from under the imme-

The absence of saloons would con-
tribute largely to an economical living
and prove matter of great saving to
both student and parent.

were probably ten thousand people

This is by far the largest crowd
that ever attended circus in this
city. Everyone was out to see the
show, and the Riddles were there in
abundance, the fathers and mothers
enjoying the different acts with as
much pleasure as the little ones. II
was of the opinion of the majority pres
ent that II was the best and most
complete show of its kind that ever
came to the city. The best troupe OF
trapeze and aerial performers and
wire walkers under one roof were
there, and all the acts were new and
strenuous Too many clowns. how
ever, did not do the justice that the
old time clown did, who used tt
crack jokes and was really a whole
| show in himself--he would have beer
more appreciated by the crowd, The
horses were superb animals, vel
trained and the bareback riders anC
the equestriennes were as good a.
in any aggregation, Take the circus
all in all, it had the greatest numbe,
of acts, well carried out and intricate
