On the same night a boat belonging
to Muckle Dros. was stolen from the
wharf and has not yet been recover
ed; and also a valise was taken from
the residence of Mr. Pat Hughes, of
Deer Islaind. They will steal pota
toes, turnips, clothing, or In fact any
thing that they cun get hold of.
Look out tor them.

When the question as to whether
mention of the legal action against
the State Treasurer to compol him to
turn over the custody of the school

at a mooting of the board today,
State Treasurer Kay accused dov.

tion be made 01 p'tylng politics and
being further netna'! by spill. Ir."
proposal was lost, the Slate Trod? ir
er and Secretary of State Olcott vol
lug agalust it.
Governor West and Secretary ot
State Olcott caused suit to be Insti
tuted against Mr. Kay to compol him
to turn the notes, which are worth
about $6,000,000, over to the clerk
f tho Hoard. Mr. Kay declined to do
so on tho ground that the State Tre
asurer had always been the custodian
and that he had been advlu&d by the
Attornoy-Genoral his office was the
proper place for the keeping ot the
notes.
The State Treasurer Is the only
official who elves bond for the se
curity of the property. Circuit Judge
Kelly decided In favor of the plain
tiffs and the case Is now before the
Supreme Court. Governor West at
the meeting today said the Attorney
General, who represents the plain
tiffs, hud not proceeded with suffl
ctunt celerity in prosecuting tha
action.

NOTES OF THE 111(111 KCIIOOI.
SOCIETY BALL AT MIST.
A'clgliborliood Frolic of Old-Time
Characteristics.
Mist, Ore., Nov. 25. 1914. The
annual society ball of the Burn Es
tato was given In the McUee Hall
room' November 21, 1914. The ball
was a huge success In spite of the
dark and stormy night which we are
sorry to say compelled our worthy
friends Mr. Lammlo and family to
remain at home. The Limhurg Or
chestra supplied the muslo for the
evening and It Is needless to say the
musle was of the very best obtain
able, and all credit Is due to the mu
sician's and their popular leader, Mr.
Carl Llmberg. Tho special feature
of the evening was the old time dance
"The Grape Vine Twist," which was
danced In good old fashioned Way by
the old timers of the district and
called by the "old time caller" Jack
McMullen. The dancing program
onded at 12 o'clock p. m., and was
followed by a toast to our new neigh
bor, J. C. Little, after which the
Teacher and Pupils Have Wwk-r'.nrt
Vacation.
The members of tho English II
class are learning to write business
letters.
Tho O N. O. society gave a delight
ful program Wednesday afternoon
Another will bo glvou two weeks
from Frlduy, by the Alpha Omega
society. Tho public In cordially In
vlted to attend theso programs.
The -cliool board has decided to
erect a play died. It will bo 40x7
feet, and will have a roof but no
floor, or sides. Howovor, muybo we
can havo them later. The shod will
be situated in the southweut cornet
of tho school grounds.
This week wo have vacation
thanks to our Pilgrim Fathers. Hut
you may notice a tad expression on
the faces of somo. Why Is it there
did you askT It Is becauso wo will
not soe the gaze of our beloved teach
ers for four days. We almost weep
when we think of It.
Mr. McNulty Is now conducting a
beginner's singing class In the lib
rary. The class moots every morn
tng, and Is for the puplla who are
so modest that they do not like In
have the whole high school linn
their voices. The pupils say thoy
are progressing very rapidly, and
will soon be able to read the scalo.
The Manual Training boys are
feeling rather blue this woek. Th
Physical Culturo girls are onjoylni
themselves jumping rooo. rlscli
where the boys cun look out and see
them. It Is not at all pleasant to
watch them having so much fun and
also earning a credit by It. Hut if
they keep on training ninny of them
will probably become greut athletics.
