(Continued from Last Week.)
There are scores of nlacesof ncculiar
interest to visit in Boston, and so
great was this interest in each that
we found it more difficult to cret awav
than it was to get there. We made
diligent use of our time, and thought
we could return home pretty well
satisfied, but we must not leave Boston
without a word about the creat
Christian Science temple. As far as
temples go, it leads the leaders in
Boston or anywhere in this country.
Treniont temple has to take second
place as to size and number of meeting
rooms.
On June 10, 1906, from 6 to 7 o'clock
a. m., the doxology and other hymn
tunes were rung out on the great
chime bells, awakening all to the fact
that one of the most remarkable events
in the history of the comparatively
new sect was about to begin.
As early as 1 a. m., Sunday, the
march of the faithful toward the
church began from all parts of the
city, At 7:30 sharp, the doors were
opened, and an orderly rush was made
for admittance. Ten minutes later
the church was packed and 10,000
persons were left outside to wait for
the next service, (10:30 o'clock,) pack
ing the doorways and guarding their
places with their lives, with an eager
determination to get into one of the
services.
Pillars of the church found time for
mission work during the wait for the
doors to open again. One strong
minded woman hooked up to an un
believing Vermonter who was visiting
the city and had come up to see the
new church. Her logic was forcible,
and the farmer admitted all she said
of the wonders of the "only real
Christian religion." but he said he
guessed he had enough farm work on
Sunday to keep the church problem in
the background. Even the policemen
were touched, and several admitted
that if they had much more duty at
Christian Scientist gatherings they
would be converted.
Thegreat auditorium and the sloping
dome, filled with men ana women
whose attention was riveted on the
readers, all under one great dome, 80
feet in diameter and 200 feet from the
ground, was a most impressive sight,
When the lights were turned on ror
the evening service, the new church
presented an imposing sight, lhe
lights in the great dome showed
plainly, and the bell-tower was aiso
lighted up.
Inside the sight was even more lm
nressive. xne auditorium i uguu.-u

which rise out of tall piers. In the
dome are eleven chime bells. The
heaviest weighs 4000 pounds and rings
C sharp, while the lightest weighs 400
pounds. The organ in the auditorium
cost $10,000. There is a hidden-echo
organ near the base of the dome. The
great dome has two galleries on one
side and three on the other.
The money for this grand structure
was raised by voluntary contributions
from members of the faith all over
the world. Speaking of paying their
way calls to mind the fact that the
financial secretary had to send out
circulars asking the people to stop
sending money, as he had More than
enough to pay for the $2,000,000 temple
and its equipment. That is something
new, don't you think? And isn't it a
pointer fit for others to make note of?

President Ressler Tells of Prepara

Anniversary.
NTERPRETS GREAT DRAMA
on
Professor B. P. Mulkey, president
of the Ashland State Normal School,
is receiving the highest praise of the
press and critics everywhere for the
excellence of his lecture on Shakes
peare's greatest drama, "Hamlet"
So many people in Polk County have
expressed a desire to hear this lecture
that School Superintendent C. L. Starr
i3 endeavoring to arrange for Its de
livery in Dallas some time in the
month of November. It is earnestly
hoped that the Superintendent will be
successful in his efforts to secure this
splendid literary treat for the people
of Polk county. Speaking of Professor
Mulkey's lecture, a recent number of
the Ashland Tidings says :
"President B. F. Mulkey of the
Southern Oregon State Normal has
lectured before teachers' institutes
and educational meetings up and down
the line through Oregon and Northern
California, and his excellent ability is
generally recognized among the
teacher's fraternity. His appearance
upon the Southern Oregon Chatauqua
platform the other day when he de
livered his lecture upon the greatest
of dramas, 'Hamlet,' and the way in
which it was received, suggested that
President Mulicey is the peer of many
speakers who have been quite success
ful in the Chatauqua field In winning
fame and fortune.
"His interpretation of the classic
tragedy of Hamlet Is excellent, and
his delivery always marvelously
effective. He follows the thread or
the plot, quoting frequently the famous
passages in a manner which would
do credit to many renowned im-
Dersonators of the characters of the
play. The wholesome lessons drawn
by the speaker from the lines of the
various characters could not fail to
impress deeply every hearer. Presi
dent Mulkey's interesting and in
structive Impersonation of the several
characters; his Interpretation of the
bard's immortal lines; his genuine
dramatic skill in the portrayal of the
scenes of the climaxes of the drama,
hid fair to rank him among the
lecturers and critics of the play,

MONMOUTH NORMAL GROWS
Third Game Will Be Necessary to
Decide Championship Between
Tennis Teams.
President E. D. Ressler of the Mon
mouth state normal school is at the
Oregon. He is on his way to eastern
Oregon to attend a series of county
teachers' Institutes in Union, Baker,
Grant, Harney, Lake and Klamath
counties. He reports bright prospects
for the Monmouth normal, which be
gins Its 25th session September 26.
Preparations have already been made
for a fitting celebration of the insti
tution's silver anniversary. Former
presidents and members of the faculty,
regents and hundreds of students are
expected to attend, and an elaborate
musical and literary program Is being
planned.
The 46 graduates sent out the past
year have all secured good positions
and the demand for more teachers is
still unsatisfied. The chief call is for
young men as principals and high
school teachers, who are now being
secured largely from the east There
is no excuse for any young man in
Oregon teaching in country districts
if he will secure a good academic and
professional training. Mr. Ressler
says :
Two new instructors are to be
added to the faculty, and a number of
repairs and improvements made about
the buildings." Mr. Ressler will re
turn to Monmouth in time for the
opening of school. Evening Tele

The tissues of the throat are

a cough mixture and it eases the
irritation for a while. You take
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
and it cures the cold. That's
what is necessary. 1 1 soothes the
throat because it reduces the
irritation : cures the cold because
it drives out the inflammation
builds up the weakened tissues
because it nourishes them back
to their natural strength. That's
how Scott's Emulsion deals with
a sore throat, a cough, a cold,
or bronchitis.
HONORS ARE NOW EVEN
FORTUNES IN DAIRYING
'Quit Raising Wheat and Buy More
Cows," Says K. C. Eldridge,
the Creamery Man.
Honors between the Dallas and
Salem lawn tennis teams are now
even, each having won one game in
the contest for the championship of
Polk and Marion counties. The game
in Salem, Monday, was won by Will-
man and Babcock, of that city, the
scores being 6-2, 6-2 and 6-4.
The Salem Statesman says : "Tracy
Staats and Walter Williams, tne
Dallas team, made a hard fight for
the match, which if they had won,
would have given them the champion
ship over the Salem team, but Frank
S. Willman and Rov. H. T. Babcock
were a trifle too much for them. How
ever, in justice to iauas, auuougu
Mr. Staats did not say so himself, it
is said by those familiar with his
playing that he wasdecidodly off color
Monday.
The Dallas players are pleased
with the treatment received at the
hands of the Salem people, and they
in return are said by the locals to be
good losers, as well as fine fellows
and excellent players.
'The officials were E. M. Smith,
county clerk of Polk county, umpire ;
Frank Grannis and'L. R. M. Tierce,
linesmen, and George F. Skiff, scorer.
'Another match to docide the winner
of the series has been arranged and
will be Dlaved in Dallas in tlio near
future.
"In this match Salem will probably
be represented by Willman and Skiff.
This will be a warm one. and a hard
fight for honors is assured."

Will Exhibit Arabian Horses.
From Mr. Bingham of the firm of
Bingham & Todd, livestock breeders
near Woodburn, Oregon, we learn
that they will exhibit five Arabian
horses at the Oregon state fair in
Salem. Three of these are stallions
and the others are mares. The latter
are the only Arabian mares in the
United States at present, so far as Mr.
Bingham knows as he Imported them
direct from their native country; they
are 5 and 4 vears old respectively. A
colt from one of these mares was sold
for $1400 to W. F. Banan, of Albany,
Oregon.

The following Interview with K. O.
Eldridgo, the well-known creamery
man, on the Importance of the dairy
ing industry, appeared In Sunday's
Oregonian. It should be read and re
read by every farmer who is giving
all of his attention to wheat and none
to cows :
"That the cow is the best of money
maker for the farmer la the assertion
of K. C. Eldridge, of Independence,
owner of creameries at Independence,
Dayton, Jefforson, Eugene and Junc
tion City, and one of the largest
buyers of cream in the Willamette
Valley.
'A large part of the prosperity of
the Willamette Valley has come from
the milch cow,' said he last night.
'Dairying beats wheatraising out of
sight. And three or four years of
dairying on wheat land will double
the wheat-growing capacity of the
soil. A number of farmers in Polk
are raising more than 30 bushels of
wheat to the acre on such land, which
several years ago would not produce
more than 12 or 15 bushels.
A farmer with, say 50 cows,
although that's a pretty large herd,
and with hogs and chickens as acces
sories, can make more money than do
many of the country banks that Is, If
he uses brains as well as hands. It's
bonanza for him, sure enough.
Farmers are fast coming into realiza
tion of this; in fact, many of them
realize it already. Dairy products
always can find a market without
hunting for it, at high prices. But
dairying requires constant and close
attention every day In the year, and
for this reason some farmers are un
willing to take up with it
"'Dairying has enabled many
farmer to clear himself of debt and
store up a bank account One man
of my acquaintance, who, six years
ago, owned 30 acres of land and was
in debt by going into the dairying
business paid his debt, bought 70
acres more for 13850, and has paid
$2500 of this price already.. Theother
day he sold 14 6-months-old hogs for
$217. Another farmer, with 14 acres,
last January Bold $133 worth of eggs
and $57 worth of butter fat He has
600 chickens and half a dozen cows.
Another who, four years ago, had to
borrow money to buy a cow, now has
money to lend, and I know of his
having loaned $500.
" 'A farmer who has stuck to wheat-
raising and has been going behind,
recently declared to me disdainfully
that he would not go Into the business
of milking cows. I responded that he
would have to or the Sheriff would pay
him a visit. His reply was that the
Sheriff was almost upon him already.
'In Polk County, six years ago,
there was not one farmer owning
eight cows. Today there are few
dairymen owning less than eight ur
the 375 farmers selling milk to our
Independence creameries, at least 300
have eight cows or more, and many
have from 10 to 25 cows.'
"In Polk County, Mr. Eldridge said,
most of the cows are Jerseys and some
are Holstoins, these two typos being
famous milkers. The dual-purpose
cow, ho said, was scarce. The chief
forage plants are clover and vetch,
which grow in great abundance, while
kale and alfalfa are growing in
favor."
