excellent thoughts for farmers.
DR.. Withycombe was called to
Portland on. business Wednesday

Come to the College chapel Satur-
day evening and hear the question,
Resolved, "That Co-Education is
Detrimental to the Best Interests of
Students" discussed. The Fero-
mans have the affirmative and the
Pierians the negative. It will be
one of the most interesting debates
of the year.
Last Tuesday morning Dr.. Witty
combe took his class in veterinary
science out to the college barn and
performed an operation on cow
that had a large swelling on the
knee caused by humping it against
the manger. The operation was
easily performed and the animal is
progressing nicely.
Any one who passes the Agri-
cultural Hall at the right time in
the forenoon can see a class of
Junior girls who are learning to
make butter and cheese. If the
agricultural students will keep
their eyes open (as they do some
times) they will not have to buy
cheese to eat in their old age.
At Chapel Wednesday morning
the President reminded the students
that they came here for study and
not for foolishness. He said that
owing to the bad weather there had
not been very much foolishness
abroad yet, but the first warm day
proved that it was not dead but
sleeping and only needs bright sun
shine to bring it to life.
Fred Hofer, 'O7 while working at
the saw in the wood shop last Tues
day, was quite severely hurt. The
block he was saving caught on the
saw and was thrown in his face
knocking him down. It cut large
cash in his upper lip and smaller
one in his lower lip, and also
knocked four teeth loose. He can
not eat but has to be fed through q
tube.
The boys at the dormitory are

they returned she had a miniature
on porcelain of each one. These
she had framed in 18-karat gold
and presented to the young ladies
as souvenirs. One of her fayorlte
pastimes was to walk into a store
and ask to be shown diamond
rings. She would buy half the
contents of a tray-enough to pay
the rent of a castle. Once she
sent a Toronto jeweler abroad for
her and he travelled 12,4OO miles
to get it, she paying his expenses
and $4,000 for the gem. She
bought Sc rings of one firm. One
day she purchased eight pianos

gave her cook a sealskin coat

TRUE EXTRAVAGANZA,

Immediately behind the imam
eial confusion of Mrs. Cassie H.
Chadwick lies an open book OF the
woman's life in Cleveland, O., for
the past seven years. The gilt
ter of gold and the dazzling bril-
Iiancy of jewels fit for an Oriental
Queen adorn the Chadwick home.
1t has the velvet touch OF charity
freely bestowed.
It was in 1897 that DR.. Leroy
Chadwick, widower of no spec
ial prominence, and having a
small practice in his profession,
brought bride to his native city.
They had been married in Pitts
burg. She was fair of face, a
trihe over 40 years Of age, and
possessed a magnetic manner. Still
she attracted no attention until
she and her husband moved into
a mansion on Euclid avenue and
began to show evidences of enor-
nous wealth. Entertainments
were given at the house costing
thousands of dollars. The stores
of the city began to consider her
their best customer, for she
bought in large amounts and al
ways paid cash. On a recent
Christmas eve she invited her huS-
band to 90 to the theater. Before
leaving the house she had a talk
over the telephone with a furnish
ing house. When Dir. Chadwick
returned home with her the inter
ior of the house had been COM
pletely transformed in equipment,
as though some fairy godmother
had waved her magic wand over
it. Not a piece of furniture, not
a hanging, rug, picture, orna-
ment, not a single thing that had
formerly been there remained. Ev-
erything was new.
"This is your Christmas pres
ent," she said to her husband.
Some time ago she took twelve
young ladies out of Cleveland So

Water Users Concerned

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 29.--water users of Yuma valley arc deeply concerned about the problem of procuring water for their immediate use now that the future of ihe big government reservoir is assured. it is announced that the managers of what is known as the Lndy canal now are willing to offer for sale to the Yuma Valley Water Users asso- sociation all of their rights, titles and interests. Heretofore the Ludy people have positively refused to treat with the Water Users association, declaring that they would sell to no one except the United States government. Their price has been t55O,OOO, but it k now stated that this figure will be materially reduced. As n matter of fact, it appears that the engineers of the Reclamation Service have frankly discouraged the Ludy people from any immediate negotiations with the government.-Ex- press.

FRIGHTFUL PRICE.
Tfo Japanese Will Have to Pay For
 Port Artk.r.

st. Petersburg. May 1T.-Adviccs re- celved by the general staff show that the Japanese are practically masters of all of the southern end of the Lian Ture peninsula save Port Arthur anI the territory commanded by it's guns.
 This result was brought about by the failure of the Russians to make opposi- ton of any consequence to the Japanese advance.
 member of the general staff said
 to the Associated Press that the re- moval of the guns from the fortifica
 tions erected at Kin Chau and the de- struction of Port Dalny were primarily
 entire force at Port Arthur. The de-
 structiOn of Dalny was the result of no
 sudden determination, but was due to
 Il probability that a force attempting 10
 hold this place, separated from Port Arthur would be captured.s thus in dieting further loss of prestige to the
 Russians, which could not be permitted
 nt this time. To defend the whole of
 the southern end of the Liao Tung pen
 lnsula it would have been necessary 10
 have an army equal to that which the
 Japanese could have landed.
 ne WeaAunesS or the Mancnurian
 army, said this officer left only one course to pursue. namely, that of mobilizing sufficient troops at Port
 Arthur to hold it until relief came, abandoning every point outside which ! cid not contribute to the strategic de- | fense of the fortress. IL has been | learned that the ground over which the Japanese must charge to capture the ' fortress is heavily mined. If they do carturc it, the officer said, they will
 pay a frightful price. The destruction
 of Dalny is complete, the break water
 and the buildings, as we'll as the piers

 stood: For instruction, 365; against 346.
 The indications before the convention met this morning were that the fight for instructions was still anybody's.
 During the night a great pressure was
 brought to bear upon-the San Francisco delegation by the Hearst leaders and it was thought with some success.

 manent organization, drafting resolu- tions, oratory and the clearing of decks for vote. During the forenoon and a portion of the afternoon the
 headquarters of the committee on the platform and resolutions was the scene of a contest.
 The forenoon was spent in q decision
 oH the declaration of principles. There was some unexpected delay on the tariff plank. The plank presented by the suh- committee to the main commit tee, was thought by some to favor too
 much republicanism and substitutes
 were proposed. The matter was finally
 settled by referring the plank to sub
 committee who agreed upon a plank satisfactory to the convention.
 The platform adopted favors tariff | reform, calls for the curbing of the trust monopolies, recognizes the or ganization of labor to be a distinct con- tributiOn to growing civilization, favors l legislation for shorter hours of labor. ] favors the election of United States senators by direct vote, condemns the

 At that hour Chairman Davoren, of the democratic committee, while ad- hitting that returns from less than quarter of the total number of pre- cincts had been received, said he had private information which convinced him thas Speer had received at least 5000 plurality. He did not expect to hear from more than half of the pre- cincts during the night.
 At the republican headquarters the statement was made that the returns were too meager to base any estimate upon but they still felt assured that
