People unacquainted with life among the hills know very little of the brave struggles going on to establish permanent homes and obtain a few of the amenities of civilization and culture. Of course they have isolated them selves away among the hills but this is their only chance very of ten to obtain a living. The following story of the her oism of two young ladies to ob tain a college education, is wor thy the emulation of every young man and woman who thinks that poverty is a hindrance to success. We who enjoy all the privileges of a cultured society sometimes think it unwise for parents in these districts to make the at tempt to send their children to school but how sadly are we mis taken when out ot these same families come some or the bright est and most. . spiritual intellects God has ever produced. Last year Mary ana" Eva : came from the hills4 of a neigh boring county and entered Phil omath college. Their, father, struggling to hew a home from the wilderness was unable to render them very much assistance. when in school about six months the father suddenly died and the young women were compelled to return home and assist in bear mg the responsibilities of the home. . But most of all they de sired to return to college. How could it be done? As the old adage has it, "Where there is a will there is a way," so it proved in this case. In these mountains grows the Cascara Sarada, from the bark ot which is made a medi cine Known tne worm over as "Cascara." Peeling and selling chittim Dark is quite a source of revenue . to the , mountaineers. With the help of another sister the three girls milked six cows morning and evening and with no team to aid them not even a span of horses they pulled and pushed a buegy a mile and a half up the mountains to the chittim patch, cut down their own trees, peeled bark, piled it in the buggy and in the evening hauled it home. Then came a time when Mary, the eldest and strongest, cut! her foot with the ax, thus rendering the situation more difficult. Day by day they peg ged but there was money enough for only one to return to school. Who should it be? With the enormous supply of bark on the market and the very low price, they had not receiyed as much money as they anticipated. With commendable self-sacrifice it was decided that the eldest should go to school and when the oppor tunity offered the others should go also. Mary returned to school this Fall. But she is just an ex ample of heroism and pluck of many another similarly situated and who are attending in institu tions of learning with hope to rise and make a mark in the world. Such pluck and heroism needs no human praise for the spirit of an invincible God animates them in their determination to be some body and to do things to make history. Philomath Items. Bishop Castle preached Sunday morning and evening in the Con gregational church Corvallis. Rev. Mrs. Lewis recently from Huntsville, Washington, but who is now attending college at Phil omath preached a very able ser mon Sunday evening in the col lege chapel. The son of Mr. Calverly is seriously ill. Mr.. Schiveiber went to Salem Friday morning to negotiate for the sale of his prune crop. Ex-President B. E. Emerick addressed the students in chapel Wednesday morning and in the afternoon went to Toledo and other points in Lincoln county addressing the people on local option. , A memorial service will be held for Mrs. Jacob Henkle No vember 26th, in the college chapel and Bishop Castle will de liver the address. Mrs. J. E. Henkle returned home Saturday from Washing ton, where she has been visiting her mother. She was taken very sick about a week ago and was compelled to return home. Dr. Pernor, ofr Corvallis, was called to the Fehler home Satur day. Rev. T. W. Nash returned Saturday from New berg and will resume charge of his circuit, re maining here most of the time. Philomath College Has Fire. Philomath College had a very narrow escape Sunday night from being burned- down. There is no water supply or power ot any consequence and( had the fire gained a little more headway it would have been all off with the beautiful main building, Frank Bennett, a student who acts as janitor had bailt the fires for evening service ana naa gone away. When he returned an im mense wood box filled with pitchy fir wood was all in flames and fire was rapidly eating its way through the floor and the adj. lin ing wall. Water was quickly 4 secured and flames soon extin guished. How it caught is not known, perhaps from a spark or a detect in tne stove. Mr. .Ben nett under the excitement of the occasion went upstairs to the main audience room to light the lamaps when one of the chande- Iters broke precipitating one ot the huge lamps to the floor, scat' tenng oil in all directions. Bank Robbed at Monmouth. Friday night safe-crackers made a determined effort to blow open the safe of the bank at Mon mouth. They succeeded in blow ing on tne outer doors ot tne vault, and made a number of un successful attempts to open the" door of the safe proper, but as it is a modernly constructed burglar proof steel box it foiled them and secured the bank from the loss of several thousand dollars. They secured about $ 200 which they found in the money trays. This sum was in coin of the smaller denominations and was within easy reach when the vault was forced open. - The burglars who are evident ly expert professionals, gained entrance to the building through a window, and although they had fired a number of charges , no alarm was created and their visit was not discovered until the open ing hour next morning. It does not appear that any clew has been found which will lead to lhe capture of the miscreants. Warning to the Public Where do you get your laundry work done? Do you know that improperly washed clothing is one of the most fruitful fields for the breeding of all kinds of dis eases and germs? Do you know aleo that the Corvallis Steam Laundry has a scientific process for washing clothes that renders them absolutely clean and free from all contamination? The laundry, which is home industry has everv modern convenience for doing only strictly first-class wor. Go down to the laundry building and see for yourself, the proprietor. Mr. Johnson will be pleased to show you every de tail of the work, the building is open to tne public and any one may go who desires.' Mr. Johnson makes all his own soap, bluing, bleaching, starch ing, etc. , and oversees the entire plant with personal care. Most of the work is done by machin ery and in such a way that the most delicate fabrics are handled with . great care. There is no tearing or stretching, or breaking of buttons. The work of finishing and wrapping is done by a groupe of neatly dressed and handsome young ladies.
