Dallas College will open its doors on Wednesday, September 19, for the beginning of the year 190G-07, with the prospect of a flfrwLt.lv innrpnsprl in- rollment of students from Western Oregon and with the possibility of several students from east of the mountains. The colleee has under gone several changes since the begin-1 ning of the present vacation, and when the doors are opened a thoroughly renovated and well-equipped school will be ready for the reception and in struction of the young people who are endeavorine to srain a hisrher education. Most Important among tne changes in the College is the selection of its new president, Dr. C. A. Mock. The Doctor has been with the College but a year, and, as some of our readers are not well ac quainted with him, the Observer sent its representative to call on him, and we have the pleasure of publishing the following short biography : Dr. C. A. Mock was born in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, August 7, 187Pt and was raised on a farm. At the age of 18 years, he began teaching in the public schools, and after a period of two years entered Central Penn sylvania College, from which he graduated in 1898. with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Immediately after graduation he entered upon the active work of the ministry, serving a four years' pastorate in Oil City, Pa., and the remainder of the time in the city attend Dallas College an opportunity to pursue a course in Shorthand under personal instruction." Prof. Hardin has had nine years' experience teaching shorthand by mail, and is recognized as one of the best correspondence school men along the Pacific Coast. He has been writing shorthand since a voung boy. and has greatly improved the system which he teaches. He informs us that the de mand for stenographers is rapidly increasing, and that competent writes of shorthand are being placed every day in responsible positions. Another feature of the improved College will be that the department of Music will be directly in connection with the school, and will be under the direction of Prof. William Caldwell. Professor Caldwell comes to Dallas with very high recommendations as a teacher of Music, having studied witn the best instructors in this country. Among his instructors aretheemineni musicians, Prof. Emil Winkler, or Leipsig, Germany, and Prof. Edward B. Fleck, of St. Petersburg, Russia, who was a pupil of the great Ruben stein. The music room will beequipped with a high-grade piano, which will be at the disposal of the students, and every detail will be considered which will make an improvement in this department. The athletics of the College will not be sacrificed to its advanced educa tional facilities, as the school has acquired sole control of the gym nasium building and Dr. H. L.Toney, the physical director, will endeavor to turn out for the College the bestbasket ball team this year in the Willamette Vnllev. tl The faculty of the College remains the same, with Prof. D. M. Metzger as Dean. With its improved curriculum, new departmentsand highly competent instructors, the prospect for Dallas College is very brilliant, and with the co-operatfon of the community can be mnriA th hpftt. school in western Oregon.

Camps are being established in the timber and with their new facilities for trans porting the logs direct from the forests to the mill by rail, they will be able to fill anv kind of an order for lumber within a very few days after it is given them. The company has under con sideration the matter of putting on a night shift, and if this is done the mill will turn out something HKe 1GO.00O feet of lumber in the twenty h'our's run. The bulk of the output of the mill is being sold to the Salt Lake City market. Newberg Graphic. Christianity Outgrows Creeds. "Christianity Outgrows Creeds" was the subject of a sermon delivered at the United Evangelical church Sun rinv nicrht bv Dr. C. A. Mock, the new president of Dallas college. Dr. Mock likened Christianity to a growing boy and creeds to a growing boy's clothing, which is being continually outgrown. The speaker declared that it is a healthy sign when Christianity out grows a creed. We all have a creed, he said, but it is not necessarily what fv, thintr is. The minister denied thof rhrint, In losing his hold on the world, but alleged that the world was never before so eager to learn of him, that his teachings are as applicable to twentieth-century problems aa to any other.

Leading down a beautiful lane about a quarter of a mile from the Mansion, we found the Tomb of Washington. It is a very plain structure of brick, with an arched gateway in front, above which, on a marble slab, is inscribed, WlLliiu ihis enclosure rest the re mains of Gen. George Washington." In the ante-chamber are seen two marble sarcophagi, each hewn from a single block of marble. Here the re mains of Washington and Martha, his wife, were Intrusted to their final keeping and the keys cast into the Potomac river. Within the vault rest forty members of the Washington and Custis families. Near by are monu ments to the memory of four of them. Interest attaches to several trees which have been planted as tributes to Washington. An elm, planted by Don Pedro, Emperor of Brazil; a British oak, planted by request or H. R. H. Prince of Wales to replace the memorial tree planted by him duriug his visit to Mt. Vernon in ihgu; a German linden, planted February 27, 1902, by Prince Henry of Russia; Concord Elm, by the children or the American Revolution. The Flower Garden is quaint with its boxwood hedges, which are reputed to have been set out more than a century and a half ago. Some of the beds near the greenhouse are very in tricate and curious in design. At the foot of the garden is the famous Mary Washington rose named by wash ington for his mother. Slips of this rose, cuttings from the willow whicn came from Napoleon's grave at St. Helena, and young palms from the Sago, are sold as souvenirs. The Sago-palm is the only green house plant now living which was at Mt. Vernon in Washington's day. An elm in one of the mounds near the entrance was a slip from the old Wash ington elm in Cambridge. It was sent by Miss Alice Longfellow and planted by Mrs. Cleveland. Near by Is the magnolia . brought by Washington from the James River in 1799, the last year of his life. A Kentucky coffee tree and a hydrangea planted by Lafavette In 1824 still flourish. After a day we thought very profit ably soent. we made the return trip to the Capitol by the steamboat route and had a delightful sail up the Potomac. An excursion party of 600 Sunday School children were taken on board along the route, and they certainly did make it lively for those in whnao charge thev wore. We had perfect weather all the time, but when within a few miles of the city the black clouds were seen and all knew a storm was brewing. By the time we were landed, the storm broke over the city wind,' peals of thunder, and flashes of lightning enough to terriry the bravest The streets were filled with fallen trees, etc. We managed to reach our boarding place, thoroughly drenched, but thankful that we were alive. Our plana to leave for Boston were postponed another twenty-rour hours, and if I have not wearied your patience will jot a few notes from the "Hub." MRS. H. Js.

Meyer have purchased the Charter Oak Mill Com pany's plant at Independence and are removing it to near Falls City, where they have about 7,000,000 feet of timber. The plant has a capacity of 15,000 feet daily. The Willamette Valley Lumber Co.. Dallas, has purchased the Interest of George W. Cone in the business. Mr. Cone built the mill about a year ago, later disposing of an interest to H. w. Leadbetter. L. Gerlinger, H. L. Pit- took and George Gerlinger. The Chas. K. Spaulding Logging Co., or Newberg, has since acquired an interest in the Dallas & Falls City Railroad, controlled by the Gerlingers, and the road will be extended further into the timber holdings of the company. Robert Suitor died of heart disease at his home in Vancouver, Wash., July 25, aged 62 years. Deceased came to the United States from Canada in 1875, building and operating a saw mill in New Hampshire. He came to Oregon in 1887, and In 1889 built a sawmill at Falls City in Polk County, which was afterwards destroyed by lire. Mr. Suitor successfully operated several mills in this state, including a mill at Westport. Oregon, which was sold to the Blunn-Waldo Lumber ComDanv. In 1903 he built the mill atLinnton. Oregon, which he sold to the Clark & Wilson Lumber Company in 1905. Deceased leaves his widow, Susie- Suitor, one daughter, Mary Suitor, of Barre, Vt, and five sons, Thomas, of North Dakota; K.

Men are aueer. Wouldn't there be a roar when they went home to their meals if they had to climb up on a high stool In front of a table on which u there was no cloth and eat their meals in that fashion? Yet a majority of men. when thev go to a restaurant to eat, Jill pick out the high stool and the feed board with no cloth on it in preference to a comfortable chair and a cloth-covered table. A roan will borrow a chew of tobacco and most of them will set their teeth into the plug right over where some other man has gnawed out a chew. Offer him a piece of Die at home from which bis wife or one of the children had taken a bite and he would holler his head off. At home he will not drink out of a glass or cup from which some one of the family has been drinking. Call him into the back stall of a livery barn, and he will stick the neck of the bottle half way down his throat in order to get a swig after a half dozen other fellows have bad the neck of the bottle n their mouths.
