If her great work were understood, Her path more gladly trod ; If peace and joy could fill her heart, And hers be self control. How grand, bow glorious her part, With God to shape the soul ! Let her who at the altar stood, A loved and loving biide, . Welcome the hope of Motherhood And lift her head in pride, For w by shoo Id the shrink as if in shame? Or hide in fear her head ? H ath God axtolletl His work in vain ? Hath wisdom from Him fled? Nay, our Creator is the same Today, as long ago, When He from Heaven in wisdom came Ob woman to bestow The greatest gift that God could give (While angels wondering stood) 'Though she the life of virtue live He gave her Motherhood. Let her who would the ballot wield. An equal she with man, That she from sin her loved may shield Believes it was God's plan That she should thus protect ber own, And like a shining light From all temptations 'round them thrown To make their pathway bright. Rem em ber there is greater sower, . Than by the ballot given, - Far she may, froin its earliest honr Incline that'life toward Heaven. Well might she stndy hard and learn To mold the life within, And make it hard for him to turn From God to paths of sin. Oh 1 that more women of today, - Like Hannah, long ago, Fer motherhood would gladly pray And when the gift they know, Wo uld coBsecrate that life to Heaven, And worship at God's throne; Then would her greatest power be given, Her greatest joy be known..

Enthusiasm is run- ONE IN THE CALABOOSE. Newport Business Men Seek Lo cations Since the Fire. The Yaquina Bay News says: "How did the ; fire originate? J -A-welesfr smoker aad cigar; cci cigar stub have caused many con flagrations. Ouly - one thing is certain and is, that there was neither stove or chimney in the private room in which the fire was first discovered'.' The ques tion is still to be answered : How did the fire start? "Stoker's meat market lost, no time in getting into the city cala boose where it still holds forth as the only available location. "The Palace Market opened up in tbe alleyway between the bank and the telephoae office. Any old port in a storm. ' "L. W. Williams is doing bus iness in J. T. Porter's former saloon. "H. F. Jenkins was fortunate enough to secure the store room adjoining the drug store. "F. J. Booth is established in the restaurant room of the Porter building. "A. D. Shollenburg has taken up his temporary residence in tbe Kirk patrick cottage near Nve Creek. " "City Marshall Burdett is busy today clearing -the debris from the sidewalk and street. He has just concluded a thorough ex amination of the stovepipes and chimneys through the business section of the city as a precau tion against fire." U OF 0. OAC GAME. Played Basketball in Eugene, Sat urday Night. The OAC basketball men went to Eugene, Saturday, where they played the TJ. of O. team that night. The score was 29 to 21 in tavor or Corvallis. in re gard to the game and to the OAC team, Saturday s Register bad the following to say: The reputation of the OAC team is widely known. In fact the Corvallis college has won greater fame through her basket ball team than from any othei branch of athletics. They have been champions or Oregon ana the Northwest for years and have twice defeated tbe best teams ot the East. This year, . however, they are somewhat crippled ow ing to the loss of their great (trio ot players, Swann, R 00 per and Bilyen. Bar Foster, : the giant and WEBXTE center, and Reed and Rinehart, ' me maicniess guaras, are sun in college, and they form a nucleus about which Trainer Heater has built up what he hopes to be again an invincible team. Tonight they will be put to theft severest test, for their old rival the" UniversitoTreg'on, "has' turned out the speediesc and most consistent team in her history. Coach Muiphy has proven him self to be an efficient basketball man and with a bunch of individ ual star players, he has developed a team that works with machine like surety. Moore, Watson, Van Scoy, and (Ramp are forwards, more than ordinarily active and quick of foot, and as accurate goal throwers as ever played in Eugene. Hathaway, Farming ton, Charman and Strong are guards of tbe first rank', and Coach Murphy has great faith in their ability to keep down tbe OAC score. " In Loosely and Stevenson the varsity has two centers over six feet and even the renowned Foster will have diffi culty J in throwing baskets over them. CANNERIES FOR WILLAMETTE Every Town Should Have One, Says President Newell The Big: Rally. Up at college chapel Satur day morning was held a horticul tural raUy that was one of the most enthusiastic meetings of the presen t "Sb ort Course' ' term at OAC. W. K. Newell, president of the State Board of Horticul ture, gave a splendid address on "The Canning Industry." He declared there is too much mar gin between tbe producer and consumer in relative cost, a con dition that should be altered by co-operation in regulating val ues by which producer and con sumer may reach a satisfactory basis ot operation. The speaker urged the people to have no fear of engaging in the fruit industry, declaring there was do danger of glutting the market. The West should can enough small fruits to supply at least the home or Western nurket which now depends upon the East, Mr. Newell emphatically de clared -"there is room for a can nery in everv Willamette valley town," "and urged the people to engage in this industry. The address of H. "M. William son on '"General Horticulture" was full of excellent practical suggestions. He said tbe census of 1900 showed that of the grain WITH SHOES farmers of the country 47 per cent owned their farms while 78 per cent of the fruit growers were home owners, dairvmen being third on the list in percentage of owners of their homes. In this connection it must be borne in mind that the average fruit aTrTis"onTy aBbut "half as large as the average grain farm, ' yet fiom the figures quoted it ap pears plainly that the fruit man's profits are much larger than those of the grain grower. In the East the average year y income per farm, in New York. is $1,100; in the West it is, $800. The difference is ascribed to the fact that in the more populous East tbe tracts of land owned by each farmer are smaller and are therefore better cultivated and. cared for, which proves that in tensive rather than extensive farming is tbe kind that pays. Mr. Williams urged enthu siasm along horticultural and agricultural lines and gave spe cial praise to farmers' institutes and other meetings of the sort that have a tendency to arouse the farmers' interest in these "in dustries. The farms should be brought up to a standard whereby the an nual income per acre would be $50, which could be done by cutting down the farm in size and giving greater care to fewer acres. The speaker said that city men were eager to secure fruit land and locate in the coun try to engage in this work, since it has long ago been demonstrat ed that it requires fully as much education and intelligence to be a successful horticulturist as it does to be a business man in other lines and the fruit man can not now be distinguished from othet business men. He advised young men to adopt horticulture as a life work, and urged that farm homes be made more attractive and home like, more on the order of the homes in .good old Englrnd where the homesteads are nanded down, generation after genera tion from father to son, and the young people therefore take a deeper in the farm because they expect it to become their own in later years. - A. H. Carson, commissioner of horticulture, delivered an in structive address on ''Growing Grapes in the Willamette Val ley." He said that this was gen erally considered an industry difficult to handle successfully in the Valley but that this idea was erroneous. Tbe grapes, he said, could be successfully and profit WAY ably grown if given proper study and attention, the same as one would to any other industry. "Any of our Oregon soils with a depth of two or more , feet, and y that are well drained are adapted , to grape growing," said Mr. Car so?-. A ,goldwe tlsoiUsLJbe, avoided, as the grape will not thrive there. Our hillsides and slopes are usually naturally drained, are warm, and as a rule are better adapted to the growth of the grape than a level flat. The varieties to plant must be, determined by the prevailing climatic conditions of the fruit zone in which one lives. Tbe hardy American varieties, such as the Concord, Wordea, Niagara and Moors Diamond, will live and thrive where the more ten der European varieties such as the Tokay, Muscat, and Malaga would fail. From a commercial standpoint Mr. Carson places the Concord first, stating that if he were planting a ten-acre vine yard he would t plant eight acres, in Concords and divide the other two acres between the Worden,.. Niagara and Moors Diamond. The vineyard can be planted any--tlme from . November 1 to April -. 1, when tbe ground is in condi- - UVU lUt IIS wuia. not too wet, and tbe vines should. not be crowded. No doubt in. coming years the Willamette Val ley will be heard from in this in dustry as well as in other lines ot , horticulture. Additional Locals News baa reached Corvallis of the -wedding in Baker City on Christmas day of Mres Emma Crabill ana Ralph Nichols, -both old OAC students. The groom is employed in a drag store at Albina w here they will make tLeir borne, . The week of prayer came to a close' with tbe meeting Friday evening at the Christian church, Dr. Bell leading. The m eetings were marked by the best of f eelinits and christian unity, and were well attended. The meeting Friday eve ning was especially inspiring and all who were present' have spoken in b'"hest pra ise of the fire spirit that was mani fest ed by those who participated in the exercises. Two powerful and intensely interesting seimons by the pastor, Bev. D. H. Leech, were delivered before large audi ences at the M. E. church, Sunday. Ia addition to excellent music by the young people's choir, Mrs. J. H. Edwards of Bellefountain sang a eolo at both r?3 iog and evening service. Besides p sessing a voice of rare sweetness, M Edwards sings with such expression simplicity that her music goes straigh the hearts of ber listeners.. Her presence at this - church will always be heartily welcomed by all.
