When asked concerning the report that had' recently been scattered abroad that the Pacific Livestock Company ranches in Malheur county were to Ue subdivided and sold, he replied that there was no truth in the report as the com pany needed all their ranches for their immense cattle busi ness. He did not seem to have much to say in favor of tho oil well on hour county ranches were need ed. Mr. Gilcrest did not go as strong as Mr. Clyne about tho oil proposition and was of the belief that the samples of oil taken from the Red S. field were of the finest quality.

"The mothers of the country should think about these things much more than they do. and thus do better work as truo homo builders for future generations. In her home one woman can do far more for tho uplift of human ity than did a thousand sufixag etts in London who, in smashing windows made only material for sensational stories for tho yellow journals of the world, or than could a thousand Carrie Nations with a thousand hatchets and a thousand votes." The Oregon Agricultural Col lege does not pretend to educate young women lor careers as Carrie Nations and suftragctts, but it does graduate each year large classes of young women prepared to administer efficiently a wholesome, happy home, and in a most economical way. The department of domestic science and art opened its class work Tuesday morning, Sept. 21. The domestic science work includes courses in simple food prepare -tion, more advanced cookery, in valid diet and refreshments, laundering, the serving of meals, camp cookery, food for children, house sanitation, household ad ministration, home nursing, mar keting, the study of home prob lems, a course on the evolution of the house which gives some thing of tho history of lionn making, and i-pcunl training in the theory and practice of teach ing domestic science for those who wish to lake instructional positions after leaving college. In the domestic art department tho sewing classes learning some thing ot spinning and weaving and the fundamentals of the art and then learn to make under wear, to darn and mend, to make simple dresses and latet more elaborate costumes, to embroider and crochet garments and house hold articles, to care for their clothing, to draft patterns, to do tailoring and designing, to mako their own hats and trim them they learn basketry and rug weaving, stenciling and different kinds of handwork; thoy study houso construction and decora tion; and aro given, if thoy de sire, special training for teach ing these branches.

He stopped all nifeht at Wagontire Mountain and on going to bed placed his wallet containing $35.00 in bills under the pillow, which he for got the next morning. The following night Mr. Hut Ion upon retiring in the same bed discovered the purse.
