At Monmouth is located tho old
original Oregon Htato Normal School,
which has done ho much for tho public
echooln of the Ktato by way of training
teachers who have devoted their years
to training tho youthful liiindu of the
native aoim and daughters of this fail'
land of tho west. '.';'..
Thia school was established as
Christian College in 1805 and was first
recognized us a Stuto Normal school
in 1882, graduating its first class the
following year. Tho stato . assumed
the entire management of tho institu
turn hi 1NIU ami tiio nrst appropria
tion was mu do at tho legislative 'ses
sion of 18!);t. The vesting of tho bill
making tho last appropriation , litis
caused it to be run practically by sub
Boriptkm during tho past year and it
will have to be so run until the legis
lature makes a drovision lor its main
tcniince. i
From 1883 to 1900 the total number
of graduates .was 82!) wild the number
still teaching is 533, or a total per
centage for the 23 yours of G'1.2, but
the percentage based on tho number
' of. graduates during the past five years
is 1)1.8 which shows that for at least a
decade tho greater number of grad
uates devote themeslves altogether to
teaching. The total enrollment dur
ing the year 1U05, the last year that
has been embodied in the Presidents
report, was 283 and tho schoc!l is
capable of taking care of 400 with
some additional room for the training
departments. About 00 per cent of
.the students .are self supporting, either
wholly or in part. A large number of
the graduates of this school hold im
portant positions in the other hernial
schools of this state as well as other
states. ,
As to the esteem in w hich the grad-
uatcs of this school are held by the
Board of Directors of -the' Portland
public schools it is well to remember
that of the 30 graduates of Oregon
Normal schools employed, 37 of them
are from Monmouth and that there
are but 23 from all the other Oregon

Monday night the I. A..C. First
team met the Muscatine who are
travelingover the country trying their
skill against nil comers. This team
has played up to Monday night a total
of sixty games and has been defeated
but nine times. Taking into consider
ation' the fact that they havo played
some of tho best learns in the United
States, it is not to be wondered at that
our team was beaten.
The giime was a good clean one and
no jangling and our boys speak
hiehlv of the visitors. Tho crowd was
ono of tho largest that has ever wit
nessed a basket ball game in this city.
The Muscatine have since defeated
Dallas mid are playing towards Port
land. The locil team will have a tryout
with the First team of the Albina
Athletic Club tonight and a warm
game is anticipated.

H. It. Nehrbas, president of the Pilot
Knoh Milling and Mining Company,
came over from Monmouth Wednes
day and in Kpeaking of the outlook
for the coming season mi id that there
was every indication for a good sea-ions
run in the. mines adjacent to the
properties owned by this company.
The company has sixtoeu claims in
the Osceola district in Nevnd.i ami is
capitalized for if.i.r)0,(NM) practically nil
of the stock being owned by Mon
mouth mid Indejienileiice js-opb', who
will be well pleased to learn that
phcuomiually rich ore has Un struck
in tho old tunnel of the Cumberland
claim, which adjoins tho Hornet, one;
of the claims of the Pilot Knob group
and the-tunnel was only thirty fee
from tbe Hornet sale line two years
ago. This would indicate that there
is some miidity nood stuff in tin
Hornet.
Clippings taken from- the Ely
(Nevada) Expositor state that Luther
Williams was over from Osceola and
reported a sensationally rich strike in
the old tunnel of the Cumtiorland
made by the Boston-Nevada company
a few davs before, the whole face of
the tunnel showing free gold which
runs into hundreds of dollars to the
ton. This claim is situated in Dry
Gulch, which was wonderfully rich in
placer gold in the early days of mm
mir in this district, lliis claim was
leased four years and the parties hav
ing the leaso took out and worked
through the Cumberland mill tons of
ore that yielded better than $1500 per
ton. The' nature of the ore deposits
in the Osceola camp would lead one
acauainted with the situation to
believe that tho rich body of ore struck
in the Cumberland will lead to larger
and still richer ore bodies in thevicin
ity. -
The fact that the Cumberland is so
closely in touch with the Hornet is
reason for the stockholders in the
local company to feel justly elated
over this big strike, for there is little
doubt but it goes through the latter
claim. ,
Another clipping states that a Mr.
Burritt of Osceola says there is a very
optimistic feeling prevailing in the
camp and that there will be a great deal
of development work done tho coming
season and that heavy operations may
confidently' bo . looked for. The' big
tunnel on tho New Moon is nearing
the ore body and that the Black Horse
near Osceola is-also making good.
: In the Osceola camp are a number of
claims that have paid dividends, the
Raymond & Ely having paid as high
as seven dollars ft month. The stock
holders ot tho Pilot Knob company
are well pleased with the news they
have received, but it will bo some
time before active operations can be
resumed on the main body of claims
as the snow is now twelve feet deep
on some of them. This is better than
having them located like many of the
camps in that country where one has
to haul water for a hundred miles.

Stephen Girurd, the foundVr of
Girard Co!!ep For Horn, triu a ec
centric in hi philanthropic us ha
wa threwd and far-eeing in his
busiiirBS. Tho following tor? i
one of many which are told about
hit novel method of distributing
favori:
Mr. Girard had a favorito clerk,
bout whom ho ulwav eaij lie in
tends! "to do well by Ten Linpin-
cott." So when Lippincott got to
be twenty-ono ho expected to hear
omcthinflT of hia future proBixicts
and perhaps et ft helping hand to
Btart. But Girard carefully avoided
the subject. Tho clerk mustered
up courage.
1 suppose 1 am free, sir. said
he, "and I thought I would say
something to you a to my course.
What do you think 1 had better
dor
"Yen, yes, I know you are." said
the old millionaire, "and my .ad-'
vice is tliat you po and learn the
cooper trade." This nearly froze
the clerk; hut, recovering equilib
rium, he Baid if Mr. Girard was in
earnest ho would do so.
"I am in earnest." And Lippin
cott sought the host cooper in
Spring Garden, became sn appren
tice and in duo timo could make as
good a barrel as the best. lie an
nounced to Mr. Girard that he hal
learned his trade and was ready to
set up in business. Tho old man
seemed gratified and immediately
ordered three of the best barrels he
could make.
The young cooper did his pret
tiest and wheeled them uo to the
old man's counting room. Girard
pronounced them first rate and de
manded the price. "One dollar,
said Lippincott, "is now as low as
I can live by."
"Cheap enough- Slake out your
bill."
The bill was made out, and Gi
rard settled it with a check for $20,-
COO, which he accompanied with this
moral to tho story: "There, take
that. Invest it in tbe best possible
manner, and if vou are unfortunate
and lose it you have a trade to fall
back npon which will afford yon a
good living." '
