An.thnr intnrHKtine item that

"There is some danger that the
town of Corvallis, in Benton
county, through a change in the
channel of the Willamette river,
will be left a mile or more Inland.
This danger is not immediate, and
fortunately it is of a kind which
may be averted." It goes on to
urge the people of that section to
endeavor to stop a cut off which
the river often took in the time
of high water.
The copy of the paper will be
forwarded to Corvallis, where the
successors have requested that
It be sent.

Flood Waters Reported Receding
Near Pueblo.
Denver, uoio., June 4. Water
in the union station at Pueblo,
Colo., flooded by waters from the
Arkansas river, was receding this
morning, according to a brief tele
gram received at the offices of the
llenver and Rio Grande railroad
cumpauy utile uum l i ucuiu
agent, who filed the message from
Larkspur, Colo., 60 miles south
of Denver. All wire communica
tion out of Pueblo has been cut
oft since last night.
The message said the water
reached its high mark at Pueblo
at 10 o'clock last night when
there was 9 feet 6 inches in the
union depot. All lights and tele
phone were out of service.
First Train Arrives
The first train to reach Denver
from Pueblo today was Santa Fe
number 64, which arrived here at
8 o'clock this morning. The train
was due at 9:15 p. m. last night
but was tied up at Colorado
Springs. The train left Pueblo at
6:45 p. in. just as the flood waters
were beginning to overflow levees
along the streams. Passengers
described the flood as the worst
they had ever seen there.
At 4 a. m. the message said the
water in the Pueblo depot stood
at 3 feet 6 inches, a drop of six
feet.
Parts of Pueblo arc badly piled
up with driftwood and derailed
railroad equipment, according to
the message. The message said
the downtown section of Pueblo
was covered with two feet of mud.
The message from Larkspur
read:
Water Stands In Depot
No wire communication from
'What passenger equipment
there was in the union depot, in
cluding No. 15's, train, was wash
ed downstream. Have no word
from outside of the union station
Pueblo since 8:45 p. m. and do
not know extent of damage in city
of Pueblo. Appears to have been
considerable loss of life and prop
erty. Number 116 is being held
at Laveta and number 16 at Salida
No. 15 at Palmer Lake. No. ;S09
and 13 held at Denver. Figure it
will take several days to clean up
and don't think possible to get
any trains into Pueblo from the
north, east r west today."

Women Are
Healthier
In School
Increased Weight Is
Followed by Better
Scholastic Work In
Subjects
University of Oregon, Eugene,
june 4. The women students of
the University of Oregon have in
creased in weight, in health, and,
as a consequence, in scholarship,
by following out the program of
Dr. Bertha Stuart Dyment, Uni
versity health physician. "Col
lege girls need more food than
their parents, because they are
still growing, and because they
are more active," she says.
"The vitamines and other
growth stimulating properties are
found especially in green veget
ables and milk and eggs, and but
ter," she explains. "Therefore
green vegeiaoies unu uuuci, umnj
and eggs should torni a part oi
the daily dietary; meat once a
day is probably entirely sufficient.
"Breakfast, instead of consist
ing of a piece of toast a cup of
coffee, or a piece of toast eaten
on the - run to an eight oclock,
should be a 'sit down at the table
meal,' with time to eat, and
should be made up" of fruit, a
cooked cereal, toast, mil, butter,
eggs.
"A thin soup, hot biscuits ana
jelly are not enough for a lunch
eon for a normal or underweig.it
person. A thick soup, a main dish
of rice and cheese or macaroni,
or, egg souffle, with a vegetable,
or a salad, a real salad, and a
dessert of fruit or custard, or
custard puddings, and a glass of
milk.
"Nor is meat and potato and
pie enough for dinner; two other
vegetables or one other and a
good salad should be added; and,
there are more nourishing desserts
than pie.
"Rice and potatoes, nor macar
oni and potatoes, nor macaroni
and rice should not be served at
the same meal."
"Better health, better scholar
ship," she adds, and this she has
proved in hundreds of cases.
