The loyal friends of the Oregon State Normal School at Monmouth have some to the rescue of the Insti tution and have met the conditions imposed by the new board of regents. Messrs. Ressler and Perkins appeared before the executive committee in Salem last week and tendered a check for three thousand dollars as a dona tion to conduct the school during the ensuing year. This is one half of the required amount and the board has allowed until the 1st of February for the deposit of the balance. Other revenues from tuition and local tax ation (including 7 mills special tax) will add between eight and nine . thousand dollars. The budget for the year has been reduced from nineteen to fourteen thousand dollars by cut ting down the salaries of the instruc tors, with their full consent, an act of devotion which shows their loyalty to the old school. It will be remembered that the old board of regents, at its annual meet ing in June, re-elected the faculty, let contracts for fuel, and otherwise pro vided for the continuance of the Mon mouth Normal. The new board, at its meeting July 13, accepted the action of the old board and assumed full control. At a later meeting, Aug ust 20, it rescinded its former action on the ground that the law prohibited the assumption of any obligations in excess of the probable revenues. Since the appropriation, vetoed by the Governor, could not become available until passed upon by the next legis lature, tne board decirted that no account could be taken of it. This caused the board to vote not to continue the school until a sufficient sum was deposited as an absolute donation, which, together with the other fixed revenues, would place enough funds at its disposal to guar antee the expenses of the institution for the entire year. Now that this has been done and the donation accepted by the executive committee, Monmouth is officially authorized to continue and will therefore open its door3 on September 24 for its twenty-sixth year. The business-like methods of the new board, the personnel of its membership and the increased de mand in the state for Normal trained teachers, all combine'to make the prospects bright for the best year in its history. Its friends are rallying about it as never before. Monmouth has sent out over 850 graduates during the past twenty-flve years and thousands of others have received a partial preparation for the work of teaching. Ten of the thirty county superintendents are graduates and scores of principals in the towns and villages claim her as their alma mater, while hundreds of others are grade teachers in the town and coun try schools. With these loyal children and the thousands of friends over the state, the Mother Normal looks forward with confidence to the verdict of the people at the polls next June, when the question of its continuance is to be submitted through the initiative. QUIET HOME WEDDING Miss Ethel Corbin Becomes the Bride of Mr. A. J. Holllngsworth, of Grants Pass. The Rev. A. J. Holllngsworth, of Grants Pass, and Miss Ethel Corbin, of this city, were wedded Wednesday morning at the home of the bride's parents, her father, the Rev. A. C. Corbin, officiating. The ceremony took place at seven o'clock, in the presence of a few intimate friends. After the ceremony an elaborate breakfast was served, and the happy couple left by way of Independence for their future home at Grants Pass, Mrs. Hollingsworth ha3 won many friends in Dallas by her winsome modesty and ready helpfulness, and the crood wishes of all who know her will speed her on her southern jour ney. Mr. Hollingswortn is recog nized as a man of rising talent in the ministrv of the denomination which he serves. Hop Crop a Quarter Short. One of the best-posted and most con servative hop men in the trade, a grower as well as a dealer, said to the Oregoniao, yesterday. "I am certain that the output of hops in Orecron will be 25 per cent short of the previous estimates. One quarter of the crop will not be picked, owing; in the first place, to the scarcity of money, and in the second plaoe to dam age caused by last week s ram storm. Lice and mold are a serious matter in some sections, but fortunately the damage is not general by any means. It is only in isolated spots where the trouble has appeared and there the ruin is practically complete. In yards where there is only a sprinkling of mold, such hops will be left unhar vested. The hops that are gathered will nearly all be of the best quality." After being confined to his bed for several weeks with a broken leg, Earl Shelton is able to be out again by the aid of crutches.

From the amount of fruit boxes that are being shipped into Dallas this year, it begins to look like a bumper crop In the prune orchards. A friend at our elbow suggests that the newspaper men of Oregon would better be careful what they do at the meeting of the State Press Association in Astoria tomorrow, lest the Federal grand Jury indict the.m for organizing a trust. Not a bit of danger. Nobody ever heard of two newspaper men agreeing for five minutes on any subject. It was perfectly proper for Governor Chamberlain to appoint a Circuit Judge in the Fourth District immedi ately after the death of Judge Sears, for the business of courts cannot wait on sentiment. But the talk of Judge O'Day being a candidate to succeed himself at the noxt election might at least have been postponed until after the body of Judge Sears was laid away.

Electricity for Lighting Is only expensive to people who are wasteful and careless. To you, who are naturally careful, it does not come high. It is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed With gas or kerosene there Is the temptation to let light burn when not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month lou can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money than electric light, but does it save you anvthing when it limits op portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes your walls mars decorations and increases household work You could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your 'meals but it wouldn't be economy. It is not so much what you save but how you save that counts. ' RATES Residence on WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO. j&.uowaii isc: itesiaenoe. nai per month, ifipn srw.
