A Young Heroine.
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. Mr. Johnson's
pay roll averages $250 a month,
which, is a fair indication of the
amount of work done for the
public, and the popularity of his
plant -
Laundry arrives daily from
all points on the C: & E. and
from points on the S. P. as far
distant as Dallas, Monmouth and
Independence. There was a time
when people were probably justi
fied in sending their laundry to
Albany and other points but Cort
vail is now has one that can no-
be excelled anvwhere in the
Willamette Valley.
