Large Crowds Were in Town Throughout the Day.
Tabernacle Was ack ed During Program
Sports Are Enjoyed by Many
WILFORD SAGERS, ORATOR OF
THE DAY, THRILLS CROWD
Mrs Carissa Rice Miss Gertrude Bedke the CritchGeld
Orchestra and Chorus Provide Excellent Music.
Mrs J. r. Price and Miss Nelson Program

One of the grandest celebrations
Oakley ever witnessed was on July
"a, Pioneer day. The program in
the tabernacle at 1890 was both
entertaining and instructive. Oak
ley is surely to be congratulated up
On the talent displayed in these ex-
ercises.
The music was thrilling, with
chorus, a solo by Mrs. Clarissa Rice
and piano solo by 11iss Gertrude
Bedke.
The two humorous readings by
Miss Estella Nelson were genuinely
true to life and created laughter
among all present.
Mrs. Lena B. Price told true
pioneer story-an experience of her
own mother. We sometimes appre-
ciate stories more when we know
they really transpired.
The principal part OF the time
was occupied by Wilford Sagers, orr
ator of the day The members of
the Latter-day Saint church were
made more appreciative of their
religious convictions and their an
cestry after listening to the rise,
progress and history of their church
as related by the speaker. He
traced the rise of the Mormon"
church from I820,-how it origina-
ted and grew from obscurity to its
present strength and power.
The editor would like to print
thee ntire address. But no short
hand reporter was available, so the
best that can be done is to publish
a few extracts. In eloquent phras-
ing the speaker told of the suffer-
ings, toll, sorrows and persecution
OF the Latter-day Saints. First they
were driven from the state of Ohio
into Missouri. He told of the ex-
terminating orders of Gov. Boggs of
that state. These rders said that
the Mormons must leave the state
OF be exterminated.
From here these exiles sought
refuge in Illinois. The beautiful ci-
ty of Nauvoo grew up almost over
night. Here Joseph Smith was
assassinated. When the enemies uf
Mormonism found that the church
survived its founder, they drove the
Saints from Nauvoo. Speaking of
this, Mr.. Sagers said, in part: 20
Nauvoo, where is thy departed glo-
ry? Once thou vast the pride of
Illinois, thou vast a city flourishing
with twenty-five thousand people,
when Chicago on the north was a
village and st. Louis on the south
trading post. We have read how
.curists came from every cline to
gaze with admiration upon your

people of Oakley and were given

Wednesday night and again Thurs

was a delightful cart ride through
Main street for bride and BRIDE

by all the pomp, splendor and par
ade of heraldry-the blowing of

Vocational Agriculture Combines
Theory and Practice of Farming

Vocational Agriculture, when CIV
en- in high school under the Smith
Hughes plans, receives state aid to

conducted in only some thirty odd
schools in Idaho. Oakley had the
good fortune to receive this woik

this coming year.
Mr.. L. w. Sanberg has under his

Elder Ballard spoke on honesty

prayerfulness, purity of life and de-
votion to the Father in Heaven.
And, at the Young Peoples Mutual
Improvement session. ne explained
two opposite great powers in the
world: good and evil; right and
wrong; truth and error; all resolved
into the one scurce-the Spirit of
Christ the Redeemer and the spirit
of Lucifer, the devil, each striving
to win the souls of the people
through earthly agencies. Very few
people have heard the voice of God,
but all may hear his words from
the lips Of His duly authorized rep
resentatives, as few people have
seen the eDyil, but the world is
stocked with his emissaries. Light
represents the life of Christ, while
darkness is typical of the forces CT
evil
The visiting Evangelist had a
wonderful ability to carry his audi
ence with him in his Illuminating
discourses. This was true especial
ly in his address Sunday afternoon
when he portrayed in prophetic Ian
guage the destiny which the future
holds for the people of this world,
saying, in part:
The times of the Gentiles is al
most fulfilled. when the Gospel will
be given to the Jews. Then war,
famine, pestiIence and destruction
will be visited upon the nations OF
the earth, during which time these
United States will be the only place
where there will be peace and safe
ty. Then the ''ten tribes will return
from the north country and Jeru-
salem will become glorious"
The singing and musical seelc-
ions were very fine.

LOST IN THE CITY OF ROCKS,

Two carloads of young peopl,
left Monday for Almo to attend the
dance there that night. One car.
load arrived in Almo late; the other
didn't arrive at all Those who did
reach there mad to go the last cou-
pie of miles via sole leather
Those geaving for Almo were
car no. LES Koch, Ronald Pur-
cell, Clifford Whittle. Viva Bates,
Ellen Simpson; car no. 2-William
j. Lennihan, Edith Bach, Verness
Nelson. Some were going to play in
the orchestra; others were going to
dance.
The gods favored Lenny and his
car got within walking distance of
Almo before stalding.
The other car stalded west of the
City of Rocks. The party got into
that "city" by means of hoof power.
While they are loud in praises of
the moon-lit landscape, they say that
at the time they couldn't forget the
fact that they hadn' had supper
The annoyance of being hungry with
nothing to eat outweighed whatever
kick they got out of the landscape.
When they were all just about at
thepoint of echoing that immortal
and pathetic line from SHAKESPEARE,
My kingdom for gallon of gas,"
the headlights of a distant car were
glimpsed. Les and Ronald ran
Marathon race to get distress sig
nal to the car.
Ship-wrecked mariners on desert
isles never rejoiced more wildly at
sight of approaching sails than did
those people at the approach of the
head lights.

dustry of other hands, why can you
not rise from the dust of oblivion
We think the curse of Almighty God
rests upon you, and perhaps He
loved those you drove from your
border.'
The speaker then followed the
Saints into Iowa and as an example
of their faith, courage and integrity
he cited the instance of Mrs. Orson
Spencer. Orson Spencer was a
preacher. He and his wife Joined
the Mormon faith. While on the
dreary plains of Iowa, she took We
ry ILL., A small tent was rected ov-
er her, kind hearts sat by her side,
while loving hands held vessels over
her bed to keep off the dripping
rain. Mr.. Spencer wrote to her
parents and said, "Your daughter is
dying. May she come home until the
persecution ceases?" He sat by her
side and through binding tears read
the answer, Let her deny her faith
aid she may return, but as long as
she claims afiliation with Mormon
ism, our doors are forever barred
against her." Speechlessly they look
ed at each other. He folded her
hands in his and said, 'What do
you Think" She replied, "Give me

said, "Read this" He read, "Whith-
er thou goest l will go and whittier
thou lodgest l will lodge, thy coun-
try will be my country and thy God

The orator then challenged any
one to show greater heroism in the
annals of history.
He then followed the Saints
He then followed the Saints
across the trackless plains into the
heart of the American desert. He
said: 'The first act of the Utah pio-

in thanks to Him who had led them
from the iron hand oppression,
across thousand hills, into the fu-

earnest and eloquent appeal to the
youth of Israel to uphold the ideals
of their parents.
Sports of all kinds marked the
afternoon. There were races for
BOYS and men and girls. Oakley

OAKLEY ROD AND GUN CLUB
PLANTS 100000 BABY TROUT

The local Rod and Gun club
planted 100000 baby trout In
streams near Oakley last week.
This is good news for fisher
men, At the rate they have
been baggiHg trout this year,
the supply would soon be cx-
hausted il il were not replen-
ished.
Hundreds of trout six and
seven inches long have been
caught this season. We fear
that hundreds less than six in
ches have been caught and
kept. just because badly
hooked trout will die anyway
does not excuse one who keeps
a five-inch trout with mere
slight lip wound. Throw il
back and give it another cahnce
