CHRISTMAS AT WHITE HOUSE
Young Roosevets on the Tiptoe OF
Expectancy.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. "a. - The
younger Roosevelts, like other chill

tiptoe of expectation and impatiently
awaiting the dawn of Christmas day.
Express wagons, mail carriers and
messenger boys bore numerous pack

required much strategy on the part OF
Mrs. Roosevelt to keep the contents
unseen from the prying and inquisi-

there was money enough to pay the

Schenzel has written to Jackson

remedies are needed to meet the
conditions. He writes down the
names Of the remedies and the

Rev. Andrew Carrick Resigns.

| The pastorate of Rev. Andrew
ICarrick will close here next Sun.
day with his farewell address in
the evening. Last Sunday morn.
ing Mr.. Carrick rendered his re-
signation as pastor of the Corval.
lis and Oakridge Presbyterian
churches to accept a call to
Brownsville. The resignation of
Mr.. Carrick became necessary
largely on account of declining
health. The Oakridge point re-
quired a long hard drive and much
exposure in all kinds of weather,
and Mr.. Carrick's health would
no longer permit this. This en-
tailed a loss of the missionary ap-
preparation from there and the
Corvallis congregation took no
action to make up the deficiency.
At Brownsville there is bnt the
one charge, the membership is
larger than at Corvallis and the
salary is better. Mr.. Carrick' S
resignation comes as a genuine
surprise to Corvallis people and
their departure will cause pro-
found regret, as both he and Mrs.
Carrick have won fixed places
in the hearts of all who learned
to know them.
The pastorate of Mr.. Carrick
covers a period of nearly three
years, during which time the con-
gregation has been more than
doubled and the various church
interests have experienced asteady
and healthy growth. Mr.. Car
rick's estimate of the Corvallis
congregation is exceedingly high.
He states that, with the excep-
ton of Salem, the character of
the music and the library require
ments are second only to those of
Portland.
A meeting Of the membership
will be held next Sunday morn
ing to act upon the resignation
and make arrangements for a
successor. AS yet it is not
known who Mr.. Carrick's sue
cessor will be.

Waiter J.. Sheasgreen, of this
citv, has been placed in charge
of the Western Union Telegraph
Office iu Albany. Walter is a
Corvallis boy, who received his
education in the public schools of
this city. He studied telegraphy
under S L. Hays, the efficient
manager of the Office in Corvallis,
and has held transient positions
in several Offices in this part of
the state, filling the places with
such credit to himself that the
general management gave him
the important position of mana
ger of their office in Albany.
This Office has been for long
time under the management of
Mr.. Sanders, who has been pro-
NOTED to a good position In Port
land. He will leave for that city
after spending few days on his
timber claim in Lincoln county.
The office was first rendered to
H. c. Roberts, of Salem, who,
after a short trial, concluded to
retain his position in Salem.

Improvements Being Made in all
Depart mentS.

Depaft mentS.
Cauthorn Hall presents seen,
of busy activity these days, to-
workmen ale busy putting .ing
into sp ck and span con ditto,
for he udents who will soon +,
turn. To appreciate the extent
of the renovating. repairing anc
re6tting now gong on and to see
the really first class manner in
which the work is being done,
the visitors must go out aud see
for mselves and it will repay
the time of any one.
The walls and ceilings os the
halls, corridors, stairways, and
many of the students rooms
are being calcimined in the col
lege color, orange. All the floors
where not covered with mating
or carpets, have been painted,
also the doors, frames, castings,
wainscoating, students tables,
bookcases, etc. have been either
painted or vanished. The re-
ception room with its pretty new
wall paper, red foor and ceiling
of orange is probably the most
attractive of all. The students
rooms that have not been cal
cimined have been papered In
very pretty designs.
Mr.. Whitehead, the Efficient
manager of the Hall, is over
seeing the work, and knows Just
how the work ought to be done,
for he spent 80 years of his life
as painter and paper hanger.
Under his management during
the past two years, great i'm
provements have been made in
discipline and toward making the
Hall an ideal students home. |
The income of the Hall has
been made to yield a fair surplus
over and above expenses. and
this surplus will cover all ex-
penses incurred in the present
changes for the better.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Whitehead
are very popular with the stud
ents, as consequence OF which
the hall is always full and fully
one-third of the applicants are
turned away for lack of accomo-
datiors. Mr.. Whitehead very
rightly points out that if the
boys are we'll treated, they are
very appreciative aud behave
we'll. Also in the matter of rooms
if they are given to them in
good condition, they take great
pride in keeping them neat and
clean, aud on the other hand a
1ilapidated room is sooa made
Mrs. Whitehead has been very
busy this summer, preserving,
canning, picking etc. and other
wise preparing for the CASTRO

has put up about 200 gallons of
Eruit already and before the sea-
son is over the larder will be
stocked with several hundred
gallons more. The wood is
nearly all in the cellar, vegetables
are being gathered in, and every

the boys return. Prof. Horner
may not be seen in his accustom-

popular, may be found to take
