Verdict for Dr. Pierce
AGAINST XHB
Ladies' Home Journal.
Sending truth after a lie. It ts an old
maxim that "a lie will travel seven
leagues while truth Is getting its boots
on," and no doubt hundreds of thousands
of good people read the unwarranted and
malicious attack upon Dr. R. V. Pierce
and his " Favorite Prescription "published
tn the May (1904) number of the Ladies'
Borne Journal, with its great black dis
play headings, who never saw the hum
ble, groveling retraction, with its incon
spicuous heading, published two months
later. It was boldly charged in the sland
erous and libelous article that Dr. Pierce'l
Favorite Prescription, for the cur of
-woman's weaknesses and ailments, con
tained alcohol aud other harmful ingredi
ents. Br. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers of the Ladies
Bsme Journal, for $200,000,00 damages.
Dr. Pierce alleged thai Mr. Bok, the
editor, maliciously published the article

ANNUAL SHORT COURSES.
At O. A. C More Extensive Pro.
gram New Courses Added.
Preparations are about complete
for the annual winter short courses
at the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, and this vear the scope of
the work has been so enlarged
that farmers, fruitgrowers, dairy
men, mechanics and even the
teachers of the State will be af
forded an exceptional opportuni
ty for self-improvement.
Thee short courses have been
Siven at O. A. C. for the past ten
years, with ever-increasing inter
est, and the benefits to be derived
are now so generally recognized
that the demand for the short
courses comes from many classes.
Many farmers who have fol
lowed this line of work for
years are glad of an opportunity
to learn Hew and better methods
than those with which they are
familiar, and no better way of af
fording them the opportunity has
been found than that of the farm
ers' institute and the winter short
courses.
Beginning January 7th, next,
the following will begin at O. A.
C: .
1. General Agriculture, two
weeks.
Dairying, six weeks.
Horticulture, six weeks.
Mechanic Arts, six weeks.
Household Science, six
weeks. '
Forestry, six weeks.
The course in Mechanical Arts
will consist entirely of practical
work in the shop or in the
draughting room; the other
courses will consist of a series of
lectures, supplemented by dero-
ous'nations and by practical exer
cises in the dairy, the orchard.
the labora..or"es or the domestic
science rooms. The work offered
will mset the eve. yday needs of
farme-s, dairymen, fruit growers,
mechanics and of the women in
Ihe ho It is also the belief
t'rat 'cch-eis, who are required
now to teach elementary agricul
ture in the school room, may be
greatly benefitted by attending
the short course in general agri
culture.
lne U. A. (J., in this manner
affords a rare opportunity for
farmers and others to gain many
new and helpful ideas to aid them
is tneir wo.k, and there is no
doubt that the attendance this
year from all parts of the state
wm eclipse that ot all previous
years.

noted flocks in Canada and are di
rect descendan ts from the famous
Duddiag and Dean flocks ot Eng
land, These 50 ewes go to M.
Woodcock of Cofvallis, who says
he is starting In with the ' inten
tion of breeding the best, and no
doubt in a few years will have
much better sheep, than he can
get in the East or anywhere else.
' Mr. Stump's collection consists
of the entire flock of A. , D. Mc-
Gugan, of Canada, consisting of
65 ewes -from one to three years
old, and 35 ewe lambs and the
imported Dean ram. These sheep
are direct descendants f:ora selec
tions made from the Duddihg
flock at Riddy grove in 1900 and
are all a very choice lot and it
was fortunate for Mr. Stump that
we could get these high class
sheep for him as Canadian breed
ers were very anxious for selec
tions from this flock at most any
price. Mr. Woodcock gets two
ram lambs out of this flock which
if they were now at Riddy Grove
would bring $1,000 each.

In size the boat will be 70x16
The pipe boiler is being made in
Chicago and the bo-horse power

will be used for both freight aud
passenger service, and sMr. Gal
breath has perfect confidence in
the success of his undertaking,
It will be several months before
the b:g boat is completed and its
growth will be watched with
much interest by Corvallisites,
Al Kemp is assisting Mr. Gal
breath with the work.

What Last Monday's Oregonia 1
Has To Say.
'The greatest Cnristian serm 1
prt icned in fortiand yesterd r
w'. "The Holy Citv." L'l s
"B- - Hu." and "The Pass 1
Pl -v" this reproduction, to
ev rtd ear of the culmination f
the life of Christ is more reverent
in spirit, both from the standpoint
of the audience and behind the
scenes, than ate the utterances
from many a pulpit.
As the theatrical has invaded
the pulpit often m the high pla
ces, so is "The Holv City" the
e t dramatic storv, that is the
cornerstone of Christian belief has
sought the stage and through this
medium has brought home its
lessons to thousands that the
churches do not reach. Let no
one express an opinion of such
p'ys until one has seen a produc.
tion with his or her own eyes. A
child will learn more of the lite
of Christ, be he Genule or Jew,
Christian or unbeliever, in two
hours at "The Holy City" than
he will in an ordinary Sunday
school in a year.
'The
Holy
City" tells its story in the same
spirit lha.. Raphael and Michael
An gel o painted their master
pieces. Viewed from whatever stand
point one wishes "The Holy
Ci y" is one of the best prodnc
f'o is that has come to Ibis city iu
months. Historically it is cor
rect in scen y and costume, and
follows almost literally the story
as told in the Bible. Artistically
there is not a poor player in the
piece.
The best work is done by Lu-
ella Morey as Salome, the Cleo
patra-like daughter of King
Herol. -Kely intelligent, subtle
in the snake-like ways of the Ori
eatul, she looks, acts and thinks
the part. Walter M. Sherwin's
John lne Baptist and his Judas
.e m striking contrast, tor he 1
p'ays these Lwo parts equally well.
The remainder of the cast played
their parts with finished skill, and
their costumes were perfect.
No living character represented
the Nazarine. Hts presence was
indicated, as in Ben Hur, by a
flood ot light from the wings, and
two cases by reproductions of the
masterpieces of Michael Angelo.
The music throughout was iu
keeping with the spirit ot the
play. If all the churches were as
historically correct, as intensely
d amatic and as true and reverent
in spirit as is "The Holy City"
there would be fewer empty pews
and a wider knowledge ot the Bi
ble and a truer appreciation of its
teachings."
This most excellent attraction
will be seen here next Thursday
n'sht. The management takes
pleasure in recommending it as a
thoroughly high-class production.
The reserve seat sale opens Tues
