GENEROUS OFFER.
Colby College Extends Hospi-
tally to State Grange.
Tenders Use Of Dormitories During
Next Winters Annual Session.
A Generous Offer Which Will Be Fully
Appreciated.

Waterville, Me-, Jan. 20.-(SpeciaD.
AT largely attended meeting of the
trustees of Colby College held, Monday,
in Portland, President White presented
Trade for the use of the rooms in the
dormitories for the annual meeting of
the Maine State Grange, which will be
held here, Dec. IA, Is, 16 and II, 1908,
and also to so arrange the opening and
closing of the fall term that the winter
recess will occur during this week.
President White stated that the
meeting of this State Grange at Water
vile, depended upon procuring these
dormitories and that he had assured
the Waterville Board of Trade that he
would use his utmost endeavors to
have their request granted. He also
stated to the trustees that with the use
of the new dormitory, which he hoped
would materalize before that time, the
college alone could accommodate $50
members.
A vote was Immediately taken and
! the request so ably and earnestly pre-
scented was unanimously granted and
! Pres. White was delegated to inform
! the Waterville Board of Trade, that the
| fall term would be re- arranged so as to
| accommodate the State Grange, and
that the college dormitories would be
turned over to the local committee of
| the Waterville Board of Trade, to use
as they found necessary during this
week.
This generous attitude taken by the
trustees of Colby will be greatly appre-
ciated by the business men of Water
vile. This meeting of the State
Grange, coming as it will, just one
week before Christmas, means a great
/ deal to the merchants.

threatened with a whipping if they wet

IS years old, and her brother Everett,

hay. The thermometer registered 20
below zero, Monday morning, when
they were found by Henry Goodwin, q
farmer in a badly frozen condition.
Both feet of the girl were so badly
frost bitten that amDutation of all the
toes on one will be necessary and the
surgeons have faint hopes of saving
any part of the other foot. Her legs
We're frozen to the knees. and when
found she was unconscious. She re-
moved the shoes from her feet after
entering the barn and this act alone
probably saved her life.
Her brothers feet were frozen to
four inches above the ankles, and his
shoes had to be cut away before the
doctors could work on him. Three toes
of the left foot We're amputated and
one on the right. Their condition Is
critical, but the doctors say they will
