Somewhat tanned, very tired, but smiling and happy, Miss Agnes Wilson was on the streets Saturday, shaking hands with friends and endeavoring to tell, all in one breath, what she saw on her trip to the Yellowstone Park with the Oregonian contest party. Besides the sights ot Portland, the happy time at the "Break' ers," at Long-Beacb,-the won ders of Salt Lake, and the inter esting points of Boise City, the girls spent six and a half days in the Park, one of the most inter esting natural resorts in the world. "We left the train at Marys ville and traveled all day," said Miss Wilson, 'and so far as we girls were concerned we did not know when we had reached the Park, nntil the driver told us. A large tree marks the entrance, but the whole Park is an open wilderness of hills, lakes, gey sers, mountains, trees and open ings here and there. The first thing we came to was a soldiers' station, where we had to regis ter, and the driver gave the num ber, of passengers he carried. After leaving there we saw noth ing of special interest for hours, until finally we arrived at Gray ling's Inn. This is in Montana, and here we spent the night. The next day we went on and spent the next night at Fountain Inn, where there are geysers and other interesting phenomena. "Probably the prettiest thing was 'Old Faithful' geyser, view? ed from the Old Faithful Inn at night. This geyser, as regularly as the hour comes, sends an immense torrent ot boiling hot water into the air to a height ot 160 feet. The eruption con tinues for four minutes and dur ing that period there is a terrible roaring sound that comes from the interior of the earth, much louder than that heard on the seashore. The steam as it strikes ones face, almost scalds. 'There is a powerful search light located nearby, and during the eruption the light is turned on the water, and the colors in the illumination thus obtained are simply beyond description." The Grand Canyon is describ ed by Miss Wilson as superb. There is a fall where the spray reflects every tint of the rainbow, the water falling 310 feet. Everything in this canyon is yellow, it seems, and this is the only reason Miss Wilson could see for the name "Yellow stone." In the Park mounted soldiers are seen at all . times, and places. Bear, deer, elk, buffalo and other wild game roams at will, with no apparent reason for remaining in that particular place except that no hunting is allowed within the Park domain. ' Miss Wilson considers Salt Lake a "City beautiful," and speaks in the highest praise of the treatment accorded the party there. Among other places of historic interest they were shown through "Amelia Palace," the former home of Amelia Young, Brigham's favorite wife. In this palace the visitor feels himself in an enchanted castle of ancient times. The richest tapestries adorn the walls; there are break fast rooms, dining rooms, draw ing rooms, "mv lady's boudoir," and all in the most expensive and beautiful style. One boudoir is in niie green, the carpet of that tint sprinkled with pink roses, a baby grand piano in nile green, and everything , else to .harmon ize, -v ' The Holmes Art Gallery . was visited, also, this being a treas-ure-hotise of rare paintings and works of arL W. attended services ia the Mormon temple and I slept until the pipe organ began to be play ed," acknowledged the Corvallis contest girl, witn a smile, "but that music oh! it was simply glorious and cannot be describ ed." All along the way, both com ing and going, the girls ate, drank and enjoyed everything to be had, to their hearts' content. This contest is said to have brought to the Oregonian $53, 000 in subscriptions. Wedded Sunday. At the country home of Mr. and Mrs. George Dixon at six o'clock Sunday evening occurred the wedding of Chester Dixon to Miss Hattie Peggs. '. The cermonv was performed by Rev. S. M. 'Wood, of Corval lis, in the; presence of about thirty guests, and after congratu lations, a sumptuous wedding dinner was served. The bride was ' attired in a dainty costume of white silk and looked winsome and girlish, be ing only 16 years old. She is the daughter of Mrs. Fred Blum hart. Mr. and Mrs. Dixon will take up their residence in Linn coun ty, just across the river east ,of Corvallis. Both bride and groom are highly, respected young people and they have the good wishes f many friends. Buried Yesterday. The remains of the late Wil liam R. Troxel, who died sud denly at Eugene Saturday, ar rived in Corvallis on the 8:30 train yesterday . morning and were conveyed to the Wilkins undertaking parlors where at nine , o'clock funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mc Donald of Eugene. Deceased was 47 years of age and was a brother of the well known Troxel boys of Benton county. : William Troxel resided for many years in Kings Valley, and moved to Eugene not a great while ago. . Friends and neigh bors from Kings Valley, Blod gett and other places joined the funeral party on the way to the. ICmerick cemetery, three miles south of Philomath, where the interment took place. I The immediate survivors are the widow and two children, the oldest of whom is about 14 years of age. House Burned. Friday evening the house of Hainan Lewis was burned to the ground. The building stood on a fine farm, which Mr. Lewis owns, on the road to Albany, sev eral miles north of this city. The supposition is. that some party prowling around the premises dropped a burning match or a cigar stub and, as everything was as dry as tinder, the fire spread to the house. Quite an area of ground was burned over before the fire reached the house. J. M. Porter and son Fred chanced along at just the right time to save the barn and its con tents. There was not a soul on the place when the above men tioned gentlemen arrived on the scene of the conflagration, and to their heroic efforts at fire-fightirig is due the salvation ot the barn and a lot of hav which had been stacked outside. Mr. Lewis owns a fine home at Wells, where -he resides, and it was not often that he occupied the building recently burned. The supposition is that there was little in the bouse when the fire occurred, and the building itself was not of much value. How ever, a loss by fire is always lamentable. Prof. Helen Crawford , has been attending the Chautauqua meeting at Gladstone Park for the past two weeks. Miss Anna Denman,; who accompanied her, retained horns a few days ago. ' v" " " KAY BE MOVED. College of Philomath is Seeking New Location. TherclocaUon and rebuilding of Philomath AQollegewhich was destroyed by nre last Fall, for the second time in its history, was the main tropic for consider a ion by the Oregon conference of the United Brethern Church, in session in the Cloverdale Church, near Woodlawn, yester day. Bishop H. L. Barkley ac ted as chairman, and the question was brought up by the report on education submitted by Mrs. C. P. Blanchard, in which she urged the importance of rebuilding the Philomath College, now in ashes, and also the establishing in con nection with it of a theoliogical department. Rt. Rev. W. Stew ard opened the discussion by ur ging importance of the school and the necessity of making a school for young men to study for the ministry. He said that Myrtle Point, Coos County, wanted the school and that the business men offered a site and from $3000 to $5000. Rev. E. N. Cooking said Phil omath College had turned out some of the best educators in the state, and declared in his judg ment it ought to be rebuilt some where else more central. Rev. A. J. Ware declared the Board of Trustees should settle the location and rebuilt at once. Walter Reynolds said the school should be better located and rebuilt on better lines than before. Rev. R. Miller said the "school ought to be rebuilt. Professor Davis re marked that in selecting a new location the Board of Trustees shoald select the place that would be most central. :' 'Without question Portland is the most central he said, "and it is the most accessible point in this state from all parts and from Washington. It has a large and growing population. Our mem bers live here or near here, and it is most easily reached. If you relocate the college at some out-of-the-way place the church mem bers will be loyal for a while, but they will become tired ot sending their children there, and the result will be a failure." Bishop Barkley, who is is said has helped out more colleges and built more churches than most any other minister in the United States," declared that there must be an endowment of from $45, 000 to $50,000 before he , would advise the rebuilding of the Phil omath College. He declared that unless the members were willing to subscribe hundreds and thousands of dollars to this fund he would advise the closing up of the institution. He and six others had carried the Philo math College for more than 18 years, and be now wanted the whole membership to back up the institution or he would say close up. He proposed that the members give their notes for $100 up to $1,000 or $10,000, bearing six per cent interest. That, he said, would enable the college to be rebuilt and run suc cessfully. The above is an exceipt of an article which appeared in the Sunday Oregonian. .In one re spect it is undoubtedly in error: The college which was burned was the College of Philomath, not Philomath College. There were two United Brethern colleges maintained in - Philomath for years by two factions of this church and one was known as Philomath College while the other was called the College of Philomath, l it was the latter which was consumed - by flames not long since.

The machinery is already in position out there, and it is stated that there is a splendid show to make big money out of the man ufacturing of such goods as will be turned out. These goods will include all sorts of handles for rakes, hoes, shovels, pitchforks, axes and every other conceivable instru ment that has a handle. Certain othei lines of woodwork will also be done by the factory, and every one is of the opinion that the pro ject will "pay.?' While Corvallis -regrets the de parture of the Horning brothers, as citizens, it wishes them suc cess in their undertaking, and bespeaks for them a .large patron age.. Making Butter There. Like the man who was in the Kansas cyclone, they are "going some'? down at the Kaupisch creamery, in this cify. As men tioned in these columns recently, an expert from Portland is in charge of the ice plant and. has greatly increased the freezing ca pacity. ; A few days ago a carload ot butter and a' carload of ice left the local factory ' for Portland, although the greater part of the ice made is iised local Iy, while much of the butter is being placed in cold storage for a fincy price the coming winter. The creamery has been turn ing out a ton and a half, or 3.000 pounds, ot butter a day for some time, and, as everyone knows, the product is absolutely first class and commands the top price in the market. There are now 21 men on the pay-roll of the company, and it is recognized bv residents as one of the best industries in Benton county today, and one in which every citizen of Corvallis feels a personal pride. ; Whila hauling hay Thursday at his home near Belle.fountain, Pern Starr was quite seriously injured. It seems that the load slipped off the wagon and Mr. Starr's ankle was badly injured, although no bot.s were broken. He was unconscious over an hour but is getting aloi n very- well now.
