The PhiIomath Fire.

The College of Philomath was
stated to be burning when we
went to press Monday afternoon
as mentioned in our last issue.
From what is learned the fire
started from a defective hue and
at a time when the classes were
in session. The college building
stood quite well up on a h,ll al
the edge of town and in such To-
cation as gave the north wind
that was blowing at the time
every opportunity to fan the
flames.
Aside from saving the piano
and some articles OF furniture
nothing could be accomplished
and people were obliged to stand
idly by and watch the flames lap
up the structure. The only thing
people could do was to watch the
other buildings and see that they
=
did not get on fire. Philomath
has no means of protection from
fire.
The loss is various'y estimated
at from 81, 900 to $4,000. The
building was erected some twelve
on fourteen years ago to replace
a similar building which had
been consumed by fire. We
have been informed that there
was insurance carried on the
building just burned in the sum
of about $1, 600. What the fu-
ture move of those in authority
will be is not known, bit for the
present classes are to be heard in
the dormitory. AS it is, a hard
blow has been dealt the little city.

OAC Team Returns.

A large aggregation of stud

pie were out at the depot Wednes-
day to meet the OAC football
boys on their return from their
Southern trip. The big fellows

dltion and not much the worse
for wear after the long journey
and a hard game of ball. While
none of the boys are laid up, one
would not have to be informed
by the newspapers to know that
some of them, at least, had been
in game of football.
''Diogenes" has one of his
peppers decorated in mourning,
Bundy was put out of the game
down there, but these veterans
will be able to lineup with the
team for the week of hard train
ing that lies before them,
The defeat at Berkeley has not
dampened the football enthusiasm
around the college. Every men,
Der of the student body has con.
6dence in Coach Sickle and his
players. It is true that the other
Oregon teams held the University
to a scoreless game, but that team
has improved enormously within
the past two weeks, hence the
showing made by OAC is accept
ed as a creditable one.
The team returned with the
men in good shape. This is sig
ni6cient that the bunch will not
be weakened, but on the con-
trary, only so much stronger for
having played against such a
strong line. The boys will have
another week to recover into con.
dition, and this, with the prob
ability of Lawrence being in the
game again, will make it possible
to send strong bunch up te
Eugene on the nth.
The management will run ar
excursion to Eugene on that day
and the greater part of the stud
ent body will accompany th'
boys. A Rooters' club ha
been organized; college spirit i
running high and from all indica
tions the team will be backed b,
the liveliest corp of rooters tha
ever backed the orange.

BIG PROFIT IN PENTHOUSE
Average New York Seashore Resort Receives Nearly $2,OOO 8 Day
 for Rooms Alone

If you doubt that the nickel and quar- ter business doesn't pay, consider the money-making propensities of the aver age seashore hathhouse around New York, and make over your opinion. A representative bathing pavilion has l,5OO bath compartments. It costs % cents to rent one. On a medium hot summers day some $500 are derived from renting these rooms, for the com partments are used in the course of the day by about 1000 persons Bathing suits rent for 25 cents each. There would be 5000 of them for such pavil- lon, which means s1 900 day if half of them are rented once; and it is fair to assume that three-fourths of the 4,OOO bathers pay five cents for the use of comb and brush-s150. A total of near ly s2,00O, to say nothing Of the proceeds from restaurant, bar, barber shop and .ndoor baths.

HAS A LINEAGE
Romans Held Vegetable in High Es- teem Many Years Before
 Christ.

Of all food plants there is none which has been so long known or been pos- sessed of SO distinguished lineage as the asparagus. It's records reach back almost to the beginning of authentic his- tory, and it is mentioned by the comic poet Cratinus, who died about 425 B. c. The Romans held the vegetable in high esteem. The elder Cato wrote work which is still extant, "De re Rustica," and it treats at length of the virtues and proper cultivation of asparagus. Pliny, in his natural history, written about 60 A. D., has much to say about it. He feelingly observes: "Of all the products of your garden your chief care should be asparagus" and he devotes several chapters to its many good qualities and the best methods of raising it. He as- Serts that the soil about Ravenna was so favorable to it's production that three heads grown in that district had been known to weigh Roman pound. This pound seems to have been about equal to II ounces in our day, so it would ap- parently have taken four of the stalks to have reached pound of our weight. The asparagus being essentially southern plant, 1t is possible that the stock growing in Italy was of a more vigorous growth than that of our north ern cline. It is found all around the shores of the Mediterranean and branches of into four or five distinct species besides the one ordinarily used for edible purposes.

BIC BEE RANCH IN FRISCO
Public School Principal of Coast City Harvests a Third of . Ton
 of Honey . Season.

There is a bee ranch with more than 1000, 900 bees in the heart Of one Of the densest residence districts of San Fran cisco. It is owned by Philip Prior. prin- cipal of . public school, and is in the title back yard of his home. For ten years he has kept his bees there, has harvested about third of a ton of honey each season and has been at no expense for food for his interesting and industrious pets. Although 1t is a dis tance of two and one-half miles from the Prior bee ranch to Golden Gate park, the bees make the trip there, collect loads of honey and get back to the hive in two minutes, making . bullst-like flight at the surprising rate of 15O miles an hour. Mr. Prior has demonstrated this by having an observer watch cer- tain bee-favored places in tho park and exactly timing the arrival there of bees he purposely sprinkled with -four as they issued from hive. He has also kept time on the absence of the whitened bees.

LINE OF CASTE IN ENGLAND
The American in That Country Soon Becomes Conscious of It's
 Restrictions.

What is 1t, at bottom, that makes the English atmosphere SO difficult for an American to breathe in freely It is. believe, that he feels himself in a country where the dignity of life Is lower than in his own; a country where 8 man born in ordinary cir cumstances expects, and is expected, to die in ordinary circumstances; where the scope of his efforts is traced be- torehand by the accident of position; where he is handicapped in all cases and crushed in most by the superin- cumbent weight of caste. convention. "goOd form" and the deadening artifi- cialities of an old society, comments . writer in the North American Review. That unconQuerable buoyancy which infects the American air like a sting and challenge, and braces every Ameri- can with the inspiration that he has a chance In life; that there are open op- portunities. unreser ted possibilities, no battering at locked doors, no tioun- dering in blank alleys; that here, ID short, it is the man himself who makes his career-is something which the English have so utterly lost as to be incapable of realizing 1t.

GUARANTEED TO CURE
DISEASED KIDNEYS.

The guarantee we give to refund the money to
any one using Cal-cura Solvent without benefit,
is something hitherto unheard of in the treatment
of serious and dangerous kidney and bladder dis
eases.
Calcura Solvents wonderful power to cure dis
eases of the kidneys and bladder is the happy re-
suit of the efforts of that skilled physician and
surgeon, DIR. David Kennedy, to make medicine
that would dissolve and expel from the system
stone, gravel and uric acid. In this way, Calcura
Solvent not only cures the disease but also re-
moves all irritating causes. 1t is not patent
medicine, but prescription used by DIR. Ken
nedy in his private practice with unfalng success.
Cal-cura Solvent has such peculiarly beneficial
effect that it almost invariably cures, and we run
little risk in our generous offer. Try the remedy
at our expense il it fails at a small cost to you
If it cures. Do not delay. All druggists, SI.oo.

wind and rain storm the steamer was
delayed and the men. rather than
spend a stormy night in a shack on
the Kansas bank, determined to cross
in a skiff About midstream the ovei
loaded skiff was swamped by the high
waves.
