The commencement of the conserva. tory at the Presbyterian church Satur day evening was an entertaining one, and spoke for the good work of the department of the college. The grad uation numbers were prese.nea oy car. Victor Yates, Miss Star Thomas and Miss MargaretBoylos in vocal selections, showing some good voices, and Miss Vera Taylor on the piano, displaying a good touch and excellent expression. The baccalaureate of President Crooks, who arrived home from the east Saturday night, was a particularly strong effort. The subject was reading. This is a reading age. $142,000,000 was spent on higher education last year in the U. S., which is seventh in illiteracy. There are now great themes up foif study and consideration: con servation not only of our forests, but of human life.character and health; in surgentism, which means independence, the product of the Christian college, and the so called muck-raker; Sabbath observance, now running into amuse' ment, education, commerce, industrial relations, politics, etc Seek and ye shall find, applies to reading. Christ's plan was to go and do, and it should be the plan now. The responsibility is great. The purpose of the graduate should be: a life of action. The world needs you. This afternoon the President's ro ception was taking place at Tremont Hall. At 6:30 this evening will be the class exercises, worth attending, the program arranged being a particularly attractive one. The college commencement will take place Wednesday evening at 8:15 o'clock at the U. P. church. Dr. William Parsons.of Portland.will be the speaker. A New Pastor. Rev. L. S.

L. Mosher, the publicity man, F. S Reider of Portland, who has been with the old company for a good many years; E. M. RoDertson of St. Paul, and E. Marvin of Boise.

The Democtat man had the pleasure of a talk with the publicity man who was auite enthusiastic over the propo sition. He said it was a purely business affair, having nothing whatever to do with Hill and his plans.

There is something about Adams so different from any other lecturer upon 1 the platform, and something about his lectures s j breezy an i ' entertaining, that it is safe to say that his coming to this community will be an event not soon forgotten. A Michigan paper says: "The lecture" by H. V. Adams on 'Grapes of Gjld' in Central Half was Grapes of Gjld' in Central Half1 was one of the grandest lectures to which we have ever had the pleasure of listen- ing. The audience in Central Hall paid rapt attention to every word and thought uttered by him Wednesday i'nient. Not one dissenting voice have we heard on the lecture. He discussed the nower of supcrestion for health. happiness and good. His every word was truth and the illustrations broucht to bear upon each point clinched the truth of the argument. His stories were short, sharp and right to the point, illustrating the every Bhade of meaning he wished to convey." Linn Co. Coal. Stay ton Mail. Coal in paying quantities underlies an area of approximately 5x8 miles on the Linn county side of tne Santiam river, and forms another natural resource of Stayton wh:ch may some day be of in estimable value. The discovery was marie this week by Pat Lambert. While 30 feet beneath the surface, one mile south of Kiphart's bluff, Mr. Lambert found a fine quality of soft coal in a cropping similar to the out cropping at Kiphart's bluff and in the cave at. Kingston. When the matter was reported here, A. L Shreve, among others, figured it out that all of these croppings of bituminous coal form one and the same vein, which covers an estimated area of 40 to 45 square miles. A Proposed Credit System.

Large quantities of the water and salts arc being marketed, both far sunerior to anything of the kind on the market, and the (k-manil is ; rapidly increasing.

Securing rights of wav for the Alb any Interurban road contlue with good success. Everywhere the proposition is met with great favor through the county, meaning much for the section that secures the road. Some people are skeptical about it, but the Democrat is reliably informed is ajbusiness proposi tion that is going to be pushed through to completion, with plenty of eastern backing for the work. It is one of the best things for Albany that has been promoted and deserves encouragement. instead or stoppipg only at stations the interurban will stop anywhere a passenger wishes to board the trolley car, a feature that will be immensely appreciated.
