THE SCHOOLS CLOSE.

The final act in the Nezperce Public
school year of 1922 was recorded
last Thursday night in the school
auditorium, when the commencement
program of the High School gradual
ing class was given.
Though rain and chill made going
disagreeable, relatives and friends of
the thirteen graduates came out in
sufficient numbers to fill the building
and the proceedings received wrapt
attention and liberal applause.
Each item on the list might well be
termed gem carefully cut to fit
nicely about the central figure, the
sparkling address by Mr.. Glen W.
Hutton of Spokane, which must rad
late throughout the life of every mem
Der of the class and leave its glowing
mark upon all who heard. The invo
cation by Rev. Flora, the Salutatory
by Miss Fannie Farrar, the two vocal
solos by Mrs. Hutton, the Glass Proph.
ecy by Miss Mabel Mitchell, the Vale
dictory by Miss Maude Jamison, the
presentation of diplomas by s. L.
Shoemaker, the benediction by Rev.
Pike all seemed trimmed down to key
with the other, each built in modera-
ton, with nothing left out. 1t was a
most beautiful thing all the way.
1t is not within our limitations to
give the address of Mr.. Hutton, but
every graduate should have copy of
it: Strong, true, inspiring, covering
just the ground demanded by the con
ditions confronting our youth today.
1t is not going too strong to say al
ready its effect can be seen.

Yesterday fishing tackle and hcens-
es were the main call ON the local bus
mess exchange and many nimrods
were loading up with these goods for
the opening of the fishing season to-
day. While Lawyers creek, our near
est fishing stream, has been more or
less peopled on the finer days of the
present season by picnic parties, this
day will see it-from very early morn
till dewey eve, more or less thronged
by the willy Minis of both sexes in
quest of the more wiley, silvery game
sters which make their homes among
the rocks over which it winds its allur-
ing course to the majestic Clearwater.
Still others of our anglers viii seek
Gas they do often vainly) further
afield for larger and elusive members
of the mountain stream denizens.
Among these are P. M. Harding and
family and Andrew Stellmon and fam
lily, who left town yesterday for the
Whitebird territory on the Salmon
river.
While in town yesterday Deputy
Game Warden Geo. v. Carlisle, ac-
companied by his wife, was giving out
information beneficial in various ways
to the nimrods. On being asked as to
the open and closed streams in the
Pierce City country, territory much
frequented by outing parties from this
community, he said: 'sThe Mussel-
shell, Browns, Crystal, Silver, Elk and
Reeds creeks are closed. The open
streams in that section are: Orofino,
Lolo, Breakfast, Orogrand and Quartz
creeks. y These should be kept in
mind by all anglers and disagreeable
results may be thereby avoided.

fully attempted to commit suicide at

night by slashing his throat on either
side and stabbing himself with pen
knife. A sister in Salem, Ore, has
been notified and he was taken to
White s hospital in Lewiston Tuesday
morning, where his recovery is pro
crossing satisfactorily.
Temporary insanity over the notion
that some mysterious parsonage is fol
lowing him seems to be the excuse for
his act.
Otting is go years of age, neat ap-
pearing, and when Investigation of
his case was made he was found to
have on his person time certificates of
deposit in Washington banks for $l100
and about $50 in cash. He was en-
route from Spokane to resume his job
at Winchester and stopped over for
the night at Craigmont. When he
failed to answer a call Monday morn
ing, Landlord Kenjoski of the Ilo
Hotel went to his room and knocked.
After repeating request for admit
tance, Mr.. Kenjoski opened the door
and there, with the two wide gashes
on his neck and mass of blood COW
ering his person, stood Otting. Medi-
cal aid and Sheriff Smith and County
Attorney Pennell were at once called,
and the victim of his own hand was
cared for.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. l6- The senate late today confirmed the nominations of Commissioners Atchi- son and Hall of the interstate com merce commission who were reap pointed by the president.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16-tBrigadier General Amos Fries, chief of the chemical warfare service of the U. s. army, defended gas as used in war as the most humane weapon yet de- vised, in an address tonight before the Compressed Gas Manufacturers association.
 He cited figures of losses in the war to support his contention and quoted numerous medical investiga- tors to prove that victims of gas were no more subject to tuberculosis than other casualties. Citing the sur geon generals report for 1920, he pointed out that of 70,552 men ad- mitted to hospitals suffering from gas. only 1.221 had died.
