As eaily as Wednesday afternoon Mc Minnville people began looking for the return of some of the soldier boys who left their homes fourteen months ago to do battle at their country’s call. The advance guard arrived on the Wednes day evening train in the persons of Cor porals J. J. Welch, and I). If. Mitchell, and Privates Dillard A. Elkins, J. N. Mitchell, Harry Stimson, Arthur C. Thurber, Albert I.. Williams, C. M. Baker and Fred M. Garrison. The depot platform was crowded with friends who showered the boys with their greetings. Each l>oy is looking in fine condition, and evidently very glad to get home. Allie Williams has grown to mature manhood, and witli his well-developed mustache, showed the greatest change. It seems but yesterday when lie was a young boy aliout the streets of McMinn ville. His mother embraced him and and cried for joy. Arthur Thurber was evidently looking for those parents of his, and found them not, liecanse he came befoie he was expected. He is looking fine. Cor|mral Welch looks just as he did when he left, ami we noticed a number of young ladies from Iris part of the country greeting him warmly. Baker, Mitchell and Garrison shock so many hands that they have a letter idea of what the president undergoes on a recep tion day. The other boys staid on the train and went on up the road, but they’ll be bock Saturday. The regular college courses and the teachers' course in McMinnville college • re accredited by the «tate lioard of edu cation under the newJaw. and make the graduates from these courses eligible to the slate diploma, good tor five years in tbecommon schools of Oregon.

This question came up liefore a local committee the other day, and the opinion seemed to be that there couldn’t lie as many as twenty in the whole county. There are people who can count a dozen within a radius of ten miles of McMinnville, and they firmly believe there are as many as thirty in the county. Elsia Wright says them are about 33. This is probably close to the exact number. It is dull in town at this season, but you should visit a threshing crew, and see where the activity has cen tered. Not the least iniportant part of the busy scene is providing the meals for the crew. The operatives in a cook wagon Iregin work at three o'clock in the morning ordinarily, and serve breakfast at five, to from 25 to 30 hungry men. Then comes dinner exactly at twelve, or rather work stops at that hour and 15 minutes is taken for preparation for din ner. Half an hour is allowed for eating, and at 12:45 every man is stqqioHed to have finished and be ready to bring his team to the machine,which starts exactly at one. The machine stops for the night at sundown, and when all are ready sup per is set’ved. It is often dark before the meal is concluded, and ten or eleven o’clock before the cooks are ready fo- bed, from which they must crawl again at three in the morning. A big machine rarely serves more than two meals at one sitting and many a meal is cooked with the wagon on the move. A man and a woman, or sometimes two women, run the wagon. The mail gathers up tlie provisions, helps prepare them, keeps the fires going and does a thousand other things. The woman is chief cook and head waiter. Neither has a minute to spare from the time they arise in the morning till they go to bed at night. The wages of each run from one to two dollars per day. The story is told how a certain lady couldn't supply the cook wagon man with the three gallons of milk that he required. She only had two gallons. “Well, give me that,” he said, “and I’ll fill it np with water.” “No, that won't do; I’ve watered it al ready,” she replied. An average crew uses GO pounds of meat per day, a bushel of potatoes and aliout 30 loaves of bread. KIIK FACE Shows the state of your feelings and the state oi your health as well.

THE T he E ditok : May 1 be permitted to speak, through your columns, to the peo ple of McMinnville und the college’s contiguous field, concerning the work of the year soon to open ? The college will open its doors for work Wednesday , Sept. Kith. Many letters from prospective students from abroad have been received, and some families are planning to move to McMinnville for the purpose of taking advantage of the educational privileges offered here. Thu prospect is good for a large attendance the coming y ear. The tinancial interests of the college are to receive special attention during the coming year. The college needs a large amount of money for the payment of debts and the making of improve ments. It must see a large sum of money raised if it is to keep pace with educational advancement among oilier institutions of the northwest. Appreci ating this need the college board, at its recent meeting, passed a resolution ask ing me to devote my lime for the year to come to the securing of it large amount of money for the college. 1 have decid ed to undertake this work, believing it to be for the college’s beet interests, and essential to its advancement, permanen cy and beet success. I shall appeal to McMinnville to do liberally for the new fund to be raised, and shall then visit the college’s entire tiehl, prosecuting the work with vigor until the money needed is secured. The securing of the contem plated fund will make it po-silile for the college to do a more efficient work than at present, and w ill be a very decided advance step in Hie making of McMinn ville college such a school ns the city may be justly proud of. In this effort 1 shall need the cordial support and back ingot the good |Hiople of McMinnville from first, to last. 1 believe 1 am assured of tliis before tlie undertaking is begun. The taking up of this woik by me makes a vacancy in the teaching forco for the coming year. This vacancy wus tilled at a recent meeting of the execu tive board by the election to a professor ship in the college of Mr. R. E. Storey. Mr. Storey is an alumnus of the college in the class of ’95, and has since spent three years at Brown university, Provi dence, R. I., taking his degree ot bache lor of arts from that institution in Juno last. Mr. Storey lias bad large and very successful experience in teaching, and his election to a professorship in his alma mater gives universal satisfaction to the friends of the college I desire to call special attention to the advantages otrered in music nt the col lege during the coming year Mrs. Annie Evetiden is too well known to the people of McMinnville to need any word of commendation from me. Her reputation as n musician is more than local, is, in deed, state-wide, and the college is as sured of work of the highest order in its conservatory of music. Two members of the faculty, Miss Isa bel (trover anil Mr. Charles W. Con verse, aro spending the summer in spe cial studies, the former in Sun Francisco and the hitter in the University of Chica go. They will return to their work in tlie fall with new zest and enhanced effi ciency. This it w ill appear that the work of the college in the coming year is to tie of a high order of excellence in all de partments. The new catalogue of the college will he sent on application to any who may desire to know more in detail concerning the college, with a view to entering. II. L.

That Mr. Hermann’s position is a very important one is evidenced by the fact of his having over 500 clerks employed in liis department in Washington To him are appealed all manner of impor tant cases arising in the 129 local land offices scattered throughout the states and territories, and many of these cases involve large interests. The recent land scrip case at Chicago involved $50,000,000 worth of pro|ierly ; his decision was affirmed by the depart ment of the interior without delay. This particular case involved the title to cer tain lands along the lake front, which had formed gradually by the sediment the lake, after the city had been built. The area in contention included parks, boulevards and business edifices, and holders of land scrip attempted to locale these lands, on tlie ground that tlie tracts had never lieeu duly entered by the occupants, who bad built and im proved them as they formed. The com missioner decided in favor of the origi nal settlers. Mr. Heriunnn is especially pleased with the government management of llm forest reserves, and says the present sys- tern of patrol on tlie part of forest rangers has paid for itself in the.saving of val uable timber from destruction by tire. Last year 13o0 conflagration^ were extin guished in these woods, anil the patrol of the entire area only cost one quarter of 1 cent per acre, while the saving of valuable timber can hardly lie estimated. —Albany lieraid. 1 desire by this method to ex press my sincere gratitude for the many acts ot kindness alio«n by the people of Mc Minnville on the occasion of the late sick ness, death and burial of my uncle, Jon athan Farrow.
