Course of Study
Shorthand. The student begins
with the theory which is presented
in a manual of one hundred and
twenty pages arranged in twelve les
sons. Each lesson successively is
mastered thoroughly and written to
a required speed. The student is
next given a Universal Dictation
Course in correspondence, etc., sup
plied from twenty-six different busi
nesses, followed by a course in legal
forms and papers, depositions and
court reporting of civil and criminal
cases and speech reporting.
Typewriting We have several
standard machines in use, and the
mechanism in all their parts is ex
plained until the student is made
conversant with the care and use of
the typewriter. As the wcrk of the
shorthand writer comes before the
the reader through the medium of
the typewriter, it is obvious that the
student must acquire a proficiency
which can only be attained through
proper instruction along the lines of
correct menthods followed up by ju
dicious and faithful practice.

An Illinois Man is Impressed
Will Come to Stay.
Mr. W. A. I-uzader, of Bloomlngton,
111., editor and proprietor or tho Mc
Lean county Herald, Spent Sunday In
linker City, tho guest of Mr. W. C.
Cowglll. Mr. Luzader Is a prominent
man in his section of tho stato of Il
linois, came west in attendanco upon
tho Knights ot Pythias conclavo at
San Francisco and visited Oregon
with a view to selecting a location
for a future homo and placo of busi
ness wheret ho conditions enable a
young man to push forward and reach
the front more quickly than in tho
thickly settled cast and middle west,
In speaking of his trip and his Im
pressions of tho Pacific coast Mr. I.u
zader said to a roporter:
"I have seen much of the United
States and thought I was reasonably
wen posted in geography, hut was
simply astounded at tho vast areaa of
land, tremendous mountains, magnl
ficent scenery and long distances bo
tweonp laces when I got across tho
uocky mountains. I liked California,
but Oregon is the placo for a younp
man to como to. I havo spent a nuin
her of weeks on tho coaBt and Ore

gon fruit Is tho llrst on tho Chicago
market. It has tliu nunio as .well as
tho merit and others aro copying the
brand. What wo read In thu easl
about Oregon and tho Pacific North
west does not begin to give an Idea
of tho wonderful resources here. Of
course. I havo only been hero but a
short time, but have seen much, trav
elled bo many miles in this one state,
through such varied climates, soils,
elevations and havo seen so many
possibilities In agriculture, stock
raising, manufacturing and mining
that it will tako me months to tell
my friends about It when I got homo.
It is useless to go into details. You
havo eveything hero that man could
wish for In tho way of opportunities
Your great gold and silver mines
with a hundred times more undovel
oped mineral wealth than has boon
opened; your splendid agricultural
lands; tho muglnflcent opportunities
for Irrigating great tracts of rich
lands which aro sure producers;
your promising hlgh-grado oil fields;
your unequalled stock raising advan
tages; your marveloiiB timber ro
sources; your practical monopoly of
traffic with China and Japan, all
make a combination tho like of which
nono of us ever dreamed of a few
years ago, and which few of us can
now realize. I shal (ry to tell our
people something of what I havo
seen when I go homo and I expect
to make my arrangements to return
hero and go Into business.

During the war with Spain, a pri
vate named James Mooney, who was
III one of the Illinois regiments, was
inifon in at Chlckumaiiga with ty
phoid fever. He was taken to n hos
pital, and tho records show ho died
there. Hut ho did not. After being
In thu hospital severul weeks, he re
covered, a ud went to his colonel
for traiiBK)itatlon and a sick leave.
Tho colonel said ho could do nothing
for him as he was officially dead.
Mooney then applied to the brigade
headquarters and to the division
commander, but they all said ho was
dead, and' they could- do nothing for
him.
Finding ho was dead, so far as tho
army was concerned, Mooney walked
10 uwcago, ami arlvlng homo, he
soon recovered his health. Ho en
deavored to get on tho tester of live
men. buo he found he could not. as
the war department said ho wuh
dead. Pretty soon ho was convinced
he was really dead, because his wife
received a check for $1(1. and that
has since continued to arrive regular
ly every month. Meanwhile Mooney
has gone to work, and he Is drawing
IJ.25 a day as an employe of the Chi
cago gas works. Hut so fur as thu
war department Is concerned Mooney
Is dead and that settles it. Helena
