graduating class of 1913 turned from
the Oakes State High School. Not a
very large class this year. but more
fully efficient than any yet turned from
the school.
The exercises this year were differ
ent from the usual high commence
ment. The class did not utter sound
at any time of the evenings exercises.
All they had to do was to sit still and
look wise.

which fourteen voices joined, Prof.
Frederick H. Koch of the University
of North Dakota, gave an address,
choosing for his subject, 1.-The Dream
of Youth" The speaker told of his
trip to the Holy Land and to Egypt and
compared conditions under the barbaric
rule of Rameses II and the present
time. Shakespeare appeared to be his
fayorite writer and Lincoln appeared
as the greatest m an this country has
ever produced.
After the address the high schoo
chorus, under the leadership of Miss
Best, rendered the Spring Song by
Mendelssohn, after which Supt. Sutton
gave his farewell address and presented
the class to President Coulter of tn,
board Of education. In few wei
chosen remarks President Coulter pres
ented the five graduates with thei
diplomas
The Beautiful Blue Danube b,
Strauss was then given by the higl
school chorus and the benediction pro
nounced by Rev. F. S. Hollett.

Timber Which Caused Deitz War Found
TO Be Worthless.


Milwaukee, June 11.-A huge hill of
white pine logs, over which John
Deitz, the defender of Cameron dam,
fought a civil war. which cost several
lives and for which Deitz now is serv-
ing a life term in the state peniten-
tiary for murder, has been declared
worthless by timber inspectors.
Ten years ago the Weyerhaeuser
company had gathered the logs and
they were forced upon the Deitz farm
by backwater. The backwoods farmer
refused to allow the drivers to re-
move them until he had been paid
a royalty on every log to repay real
or fancied grievance against the lum-
ber trust.

Most Brilliant School Has
Ever Seen.

Men past the meridian of life and
men with the SHOWS Of many years
upon their heads displaced the roll
licking young students as the cen
trail figures in the Tech quarter-cen-
tenary celebration Tuesday.
The day was set apart as a tribute
to the founders of the institution and
to those who had supported it and en-
COuraged it from the early days when
it was struggling for life against the
opposition of many hostile forces as
well as the natural obstacles which
an educational institution is bound to
encounter
Cray haired Dr. l. :. Hopkins. the
first president Of the Georgia School
of Technology. was one Of the prinCi-
pal speakers of the day. lie related
the difficulties he and others met in
their efforts to give the young men
of the state an opportunity for a
technical education He pictured the
little shop he had at Emory and the
two or three young men who came TO
him, asking if he could not give them
some instruction He aided them as
best he could with the limited facili-
ties From this small start grew the

/ the one man mentioned as its presi-
dent. With the movement Consum-
mated in 1883, he was chosen without
opposition.
Speaking Of the early history Of the
| Institution, Judge y. T.. Harris, presl-
dent of the board of trustees and the
man who introduced into the Legisla-
ture the bill founding the school
made most eulogistiC reference to the
ambitious students who. without
means and without moneyed friends
had entered the portals Of the school
and had worked and fought their way
through to graduation. To this sort
of young men, the school owed its
success almost as much as to the men
who had contributed their time and
money TO its support, declared Judge
Harris.
Other speakers were :. NJ. Tnman,
Dr. w. II. Emerson. dean Of the
school; DR.. James :. Coon, head Of the
mechanical engineering department,

D. A. c. WILL HAVE
ITS OWN GARAGE
ID. Gray Makes Arrangem ents to
Build House for Autos Near
To Club Building

A big change In the u. A. &. build
ing plans came to light today through
q real estate transaction by which
the Gray Estate Co. purchased 80 feet
OF property on Randolph.st.. directly
across from the site OF the new ath-
letIc club building. between Madison
ave. and Cross-st.
The ID. A. G. building committee, Of
which John Kelsey Is chairman, de-
cided some months ago to abandon
their plan for providing garage
tween the building line and the curb
a depth OF 80 feet running from John
II. to Randolph-sts. The move was
decided upon at the suggestion Of Al
bert Kahn. the architect, who de-
signed the building. Mr.. Kahn would
not guarantee that the club house
could be kept free from annoyances
which might issue from the garage.
So rather than take any chances, with
garage odors or noise, II was decided
not TO have an underground garage
In connection with the club.
But garage being a real necessity
for the club, David Gray, one OF the
ID. A. C. directors. offered to purchase
property ON Randolph-st.. erect
garage there, and lease It to an out.

Of the club.
II Is believed that this plan VIII
work out to the greater satisfaction
OF the club members than the under
ground scheme. especially since the
carriage entrance to the club Will be
ON Randolph-st., a very short dis
lance from the garage.
All these details will be told to the
