THE HIGH SCHOOL PLAY.

There was not the usual large crowd
out to the high school play given last
Friday evening in the high school
auditorium by the senior class, and
there was a good and sufficient reas.
on for this curtailment OF audience. 1t
is a well recognized fact that there Is
no feature in the line of entertainment
that draws like an amateur perform-
ance Of whatsoever kind and this Is
especially the case when performances
are given by the pupils Of the public
school Very frequently on such oc-
casions there is not sufficient seating
accommodations for the crowd. The
reason why it was different last FRI
Jay night was because Of the gloom
that prevailed about town caused BY
the fatal accident by which a worthy
young resident lost mis- life. Those
taking part in the play cannot IN any
way be blamed because Of the per-
formance at that time, because the
date had been fixed weeks ahead and
there were so many other attractions
connected with the closing OF school
scheduled ahead that the date could
not be changed. 1t is regrettable that
circumstances happened to be as they
were for the performance put up by
the pupils is said by those present to
have been one Of the most interesting
as well as the best acted that the
scholars have ever attempted. The
play was a rollicking comedy entitled
"When a Feller Needs Friend" and
to see It was to laugh. The scholars
are congratulated upon the splendid
performance, the smooth manner in
which the play was pulled off, and the
teacher or teachers. In charge come
in for full measure Of praise, for 1t
required careful and constant drilling
and rehearsing to bring those taking
part up to the proficiency they dis
played.

OROVILLE VS.. OMAK.

The Omak and Oroville high school
ball teams will contend for honors on
the local grounds in the north part
of town this Friday afternoon, game
to be called at three o'clock. This
will really be the last high school
game Of the season, and as the two
teams are we'll balanced it should be
one of the best games of the year. 1t
is not safe to risk the statement that
1t will be THE best, for it would be
difficult for two teams to put up a
better game than that Of last Friday
afternoon when Okanogan and OrO-
vile tried conclusions to the bitter
end Omak mas defeated Oroville once
this season by a score Of to /, and
the home boys are keyed up to make
the honors even. IL they will only play
the same snappy, consistent game
that marked the game last Friday,
Omak will have to present a super
team to win. Everybody shoald turn
out this afternoon and cheer ON the
lads to victory. Backing halpJ lot
and then the high school boys deserve
town patronage. Remember the hour
and be there.

BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS.
Drew Out Large Attendance and an
Interesting Program Presented.

The baccalaureate address and ac-
closing of the term OF the OrOville
public school. were held in the Lib
erty theater Sunday morning. Ser
vices were cancelled at all the
churches as the three active resident
ministers we're scheduled to take part
in the program, and the community
turned out en- masse. The tleater
building was crowded, and although
the exercises were somewhat marred
by the alarm of fire just as the chief
speaker of the day was in the midst
of his address, the program in it's
entirity was one of the most interest
ing that has ever been given on a
similar occasion.
Rev. d. Vincent Gray, of the Epis-
copal church, opened the proceedings
with prayer and subsequently pro-
nounced the benediction. The bacca-
lauceate address was delivered by
Rev. A. F. Kroneman, of the Methodist
church, and it was mastery effort
and attentively listened to by the large
audience. Mr. Kroneman was some

NOT A LAUGHING MATTER.

d. X. Patterson, manager OF the
Earl Frait company's orchard in
East Oroville, recently attended a
weekly luncheon of the Wenatchee
Valley Traffic association, and said
something that the local paper says
raised a laugh" But the gentleman
that INDUCED in these cachinnations
will learn if they have not already
done so. that there was nothing funny
in Mr.. Patterson's statement as to the
superiority of Oroville apples. There
are few men in the apple game better
qualified to judge the quality of ap-
pies than Mr. Patterson, and when he
praises t1e Oroville apple he has good
grounds for that praise and knows
what he is talking about. The We
natchee World reports the incident as
follows:
ID. X. Patterson, manager of the
Oroville branch of the Earl Fruit
company, drew laugh at the weekly
noon luncheon of the Wenatchee Val
ley Traffic association Friday at the
Elks club when he said tnat although
he was reluctant to harp on the same
string all the time he could not resist
the temptation to say again that the
Oroville country would rise fruit this
year superior to that of Wenatchee.
"Mr. Patterson said also that the
land between Oroville and Tonaskel
that had been producing nothing but
sagebrush is rapidly being converted
into orchards"
