Sixteen Year Old Miss Elopes
With Federal Officer
SENT TO STATE PRISON
Stole Auto Over at Vancouver,
After a Varied Career .
Alia Brooks, a sixteen year old
girl, adopted daughter Of Howard
ilrook, of Gaston, who wa kill
ed Nome time ago by an S. P.
train, in Hillsboro, has been sen
tenced to the state penitentiary
at Walla Walla, for stealing an
auto over at Vancouver. The
Ilrook girl ha had a career that
would put to shame the thrillers
of a censored moving picture,
and she has crowded into her
young life experience that brand
her as a troublesome, child beyond
redemption. She wa recently
sentenced to the Louise Home, in
Portland, by Judge Goodin. She
escaped from that place, went to
Astoria, where she ran aero a
forest ranger by the name of
Bert Ryder. With him hhe eloped
to Montana. The two located on
an island, where the government
ullieials located them after a
chase of some weeks. Ryder put
up a gun light, and killed the of
ficer' pony.
The girl ran to the low part of
the island, and Ryder auccecdcd
in Mulling out the officer. He
then went to the river, or lake,
and crawled across on a cable,
hand over hand, where he pro
cured the basket conveyed by the
wire, and brot it back, taking the
irl aero. They made their gel
away, but were caught later. The
man was brought here charged
with being a White Slaver. The
girl wa put in the Home of the
Good Shepherd, at Portland, and
one night made her getaway. In
company with another girl, ahc
made her way to the Washington
side of the Columbia, where they
stole an auto. There wa noth
ing to do but plead ffuilty, and
she was given a penitentiary sen
tence. The Brook girl is absolutely
incorrigible, and nothing short of
incarceration will do her any good
and it is doubtful if this will
cure her of her love of outlawry.

A CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Why Not Make it a Christinas
Present Worth Having For
Your Wife, Your Son or
Your Daughter?
One that will m".'in something to
them during their whole life; one
that they can have the satisfaction
of watching it grow ; one that will
give your wife a feeling: of inde
pendence, and a nest egg that she
can depend on, regardless of your
circumstances or w hat might hap
pen to you; one that will give
your son a better atari in life
than you had, and one that will
get him in the systematic habit of
saving small amounts, which will
be worth mure to him than the
amount of money that he will re
ceive; give your daughter the
pleasure of having a fund of her
own, und the satisfaction of
knowing that she will have some
money all her- ow n to use as she
wishes.
There is no way on earth, as
sure, a safe, and that will pay as
large dividends, for the. amount
of money invested, or that will
give them as much pleasure and
satisfaction for the money that it
w ill cost you, as a certificate is
sued by The. Western Loan and
Building Co., which pays 16 per
cent on the money invested, you
put it in small amounts monthly,
w hich will be no hardship on you,
and your Wife, your Son, or your
Daughter will get it all back in a
lump sum, and a little over two
dollars for each one-that you put
in for them, enough to menu a
great deal to them. To your son
it may mean success in life to him
instead of failure, as the first
thousand is the one that is hard to
t.
It takes less than 10 cents a day
In give them a $1000.00; 20 cts.,
$2000.00 ; 50 cts., $5000.00. And
when there is only one man in
ten in the United States that ever
has f'.'OOO.OO in their lives, you
can see what it means to thcin.
You have the best security in
the world for every dollar you put
in for them. And the privileges
that go with each Certificate u"C
such that one can not possibly
lose out, r.nd are worth a good
deal for them. There are nearly
one hundred satisfied certificate
holders in Hillsboro at the pres
ent time, holding certificates to
the value of between two and
three hundred thousand dollars.
Are you, your Wife, your Son,
and your Daughter going to have
your share of the quarter of a
million dollars that the Company
will distribute in Hillsboro? If
not,' why not ?
Beside paying you 10 percent
on your investment, every dollar
that the Company receives in
Washington County can be used
to build homes in Hillsboro
von know whether they are need
ed or not !
For full particulars call me on
the phone, and I will come to
your home, and talk it over with
vou and your wife, or call at my
ofi'ui: iii the Washington Hotel.

Twenty-Four From City and Vi
cinity in Student Body
A BREEZY LETTER ARRIVES
Electrical Engineering and Farm
ing Well Represented
Oregon Agricultural College,
Corvallis, Dee. 16 Hillsboro lias
a particularly strong representa
tion of students at the College
this year 24 out of the 2906 stu
dents registered.
Katherine Asbahr returned to
college this year and is now a
senior in home economics. Frieda
Pubols is taking special in home
economics and music, but intends
to register in the degree course
next quarter. Earl Caudle is a
junior in chemical engineering.
Lewa Wilkes, sophomore, and
Arthur Reiling, freshman, are
taking pharmacy. George Helm
and Haskell Carter, freshmen,
mid James Malion, sophomore,
and Louie Turpin, freshman,
are taking electrical engineering.
In commerce are Verne McKin
ney, Addie and Earl Carter.
Clair Wilkes, a graduate of 1917,
is now instructor in farm manage
ment. The Pooie boys, formerly
of Hillsboro, are also attending
college.
Seven of the Hillsboro boys be
long to the Fleur de Lis Club.
They are Charles Deichman,
Verne. McKiiuiey, James Imbrie,
William Dierdorff, Frank Rollins,
James Ma lion and Henry Slohler.
Verne McKinney is club treas
urer. Mining engineering is the most
popular among the men, six be
ing registered in that course
Charles Boge is a junior in that
course, Victor Wohler a sopho
more, Arthur Kroeger, Daniel j
Km rick, Frank Rollins and Char-j
Ics Deichman, .freshmen. In the
degree course of agriculture are
Carl Bechen, junior, and William
Dierdorff, freshman; while in vo
cational agriculture are ' Hugh
Farnham, James Imbrie, , Wolf
Koschnitzky and John Pubols.
While war conditions brought
about an increased interest in ag
riculture and caused an unprece
dented influx of students in the
school of agriculture total reg
istration 725 engineering in its
various branches leads in popu
larity at the college. Students
studying civil, electrical, mechan
ical, mining-, and highway engi
neering number 810. Forestry
ami logging engineering are rep
resented by 77 and industrial arts
by 25 students. Farm mechanics
in the school of agriculture which
has had an abnormal growth,
owes its present popularity to
heavy purchases of tractors and
other power machinery in the last
two years by farmers of the
Northwest.
An increase, of approximately
ItiO per cent in eiigineermg-en
rollment over registration in the
Fall of l!lti is largely attributa
ble to the fact that the impor
tance of engineering in winning
the world war is fully realized,
points out Dean G. A. Covell, of
the school of engineering, lhe
greatest need in Oregon is for
highway engineers. Uecause ol
the elaborate road building pro
gram the demand is not supplied.
Graduates in other field of engi
neering also have no difficulty in
obtaining responsible positions.
Gain in number of students is
shown in practically every divis
ion and department. The school
of commerce has 543, home econ
omic 497, pharmacy 164, school
of mines 88. Tn the school of mu
sic 35 are" registered in the full
four year course, while 1G0, who
are majoring in other branches,
take incidental instruction in mu
sic. The high quality of work being
done this year is noticeable Most
of the 2t0() students are high
school graduates or have been
transferred from other colleges
or universities. Increase in fac
ulty has been necessitated by the
heavy enrollment in some depart
ment, and no pains have been
spared in obtaining the best tal-
net available. Men lead women
2070 to 88(1. The freshman class
numbers 1091.
