sity of Chicago, Cornell, Harv- ard. University of the State of New York, Royal Conservatory of Berlin, University of Tennes- see and University of Trieburg, Germany. The curriculum is broad, thorough and the stand ards of scholarship are high.
 Music-No branch of learning is more desirable for a young lady, whether it be brought into requisition in the home, in so- ciety or in the school room. It insures choice of associations and, if necessary, remunerative em- ployment and independence in life.
 Nine teachers for the various branches give to this speciality of a woman's education at Cox Col lege and Conservatory the atten- tion which its importance justi- fies. The directors are Mrs. Alice Cox Crenshaw, graduate of the Klindworth-Scharwenka Conser- vatory, Berlin; and J. Lewis Browne, doctor of music, a noted composer.
 The College Home is one of the best features of the institution. The health, comfort and pleas ure of the young ladies are sought and guarded in detail. The teachers board in the build ing with the pupils, engage with them in their sports and duties,

Equipment - Recognizing the fact that a school needs suitable equipment, Cox College has sought to provide the necessary appliances for instruction. It has . library of several thousand care fully selected volumes, museum of nearly seven thousand specimens, laboratories for physics, general and analytical chemistry. art studios supplied with casts and models, forty-eight pianos re- gently purchased, pipe organ and other musical instruments.
 The D0rmitory is heated by Webster system of steam circu- lation, provided with passenger elevator, hot and cold water on every floor, baths, tower clock, long distance telephone, speaking tubes and modern infirmary.
 The Faculty gives cast and character to a schools work. The policy of Cox College and Con- servatory is for each branch of instruction to be in charge of only a graduate or postgraduate of a recognized university. The same principle holds in the de- partments of music, art and elo- cution. In addition the faculty is selected with reference to suc- cessful experience in teaching.
 Some of the Institutions repre- sented by the faculty of this school are: Bryn Maur, Univer-

Propose New Law.

The State Land Board hit up
on a plan which may enable it to
secure desirable timber land up
on which it may file state lieu and
land script.
Under the present Federal law
the state cannot file on unsur-
veyed land. AS fast as the gov
ernment completes a survey OF
public land, and plats are filed
in the local land Office, all de-
sirable sections are taken up by
settlers who have been located by
timber cruisers. The latter
make it their duty to watch out
for new surveys, and are usual
" waiting for the plats to befled.
The plan is to have Congress
amend the land law, SO that the
state can file on the unsurveyed
land. IF this is done, the state
land agent can examine timber
in districts that have not been
surveyed and select good timber
lands in large tracts. upon which
lieu land script can be filed. By
this means the state will have a

TOO GOOD FOR EARTH.

What an age is ours! We are
a resourceful people. Our So
cieties are eternally unearthing
something new by way of enter
tainment and it is about an even
wager that the latest fad is
about as silly as its predecessor,
but it serves its purpose and is,
therefore, all right. Now and
then something worth while
comes to light and keeps
us from utter darkness.
Among the latest things to
claim attention is a club started
by Portland girls. The organ
ization is to be known as the
Anti Gossip Club" Deliver
us not into temptation''--poo
girls! The entire world is fattec
on gossip-men and women,
boys and girls, in a large majority
of cases, love to gossip. Nearly
all Of us are tattlers, but some
are worse than others. In spite
Of the conditions we find these
girls organizing an anti-gossil
club. Will the organization sur
vive, think you? Human natur'
has first to undergo a radica
change.
These girls, probably with tn
best possible intent, are DELHI
erately placing themselves fac
to face with the greatest temp

Recently an Eastern cores
propounded this ques-
ton: "How do you determine
what questions and principals
shall be advocated by the party,
and how is the party platform
formed?" Another correspond
ent wanted to know if the direct
primary law does not have a
tendency to disorganize the polit-
ical parties. With reference to
the first question, Mr. Dunbar
could not give a definite answer,
because it is a matter entirely
outside Of the law, and neither
of the political parties in this
state has yet decided how it will
formulate a party platform.
Regarding the second inquiry,
Mr.. Dunbar said the law had not
been in force long enough in
this state to determine what eff.
feet it will have on party organi.
zation.
Mr.. Dunbar states that while il
is his duty under the law to place
the party stamp, Republican Of
Democrat, on each candidate fill
ing the requirments, he will no

A Golden Opportunity.

We are informed that a special
meeting of the city council is
called for tonight to consider the
matter of granting a franchise to
a company whereby Corvallis
may secure electric power unlim-
tied. 1t was thought that there
would be a petition for franchise
presented the council at the
meeting of that body Monday
night. But such was not the
case.
A number of prominent men
were interviewed on the matter
OF franchise and protection sought
by those proposing to furnish
the citv electric power. There
were some objections to what
was proposed by the projectors
and no petition was presented, as
it was thought wiser to present a
petition as Tree as possible from
any Objectionable features.

Observations ofaBird Flight.

Writing on the subject OF air
currents a relates to the flight Of
birds, James Newton Basket.
contributes the folio wing in the
Scientific American:
recently found myself in a
position to confirm the conclus-
ions about the connection of up
ward current of air and the soar
ing of birds, ETC., as set forth by
your correspondent, J. E. Wal
ker, in your issue of the I4th.
About the last days of the past
September I was gazing into the
sky and I noted an extraordinary
number of gossamers going south
and rising rapidly. Some that
were low showed streamers, and
when 1 procured a fe1d-glass and
examined them closely, I found
that all such, for hundreds of
feet upward, had these streamers
pointed almost directly upward
from the great bunch or center
of the gossamer. This indicated
a strong upward current, which
seemed to be SO local as to have
had It's origin only about a fourth
of a mile northeast of me; but
this may have been an erroneous
impression.
Later, l began to notice an oc-
casional butterfly. of the usual
large brown kind, known as the
| "milk-weed butterfly" sailing
rapidly with the current when
high up, while later still I saw
many making spiral mountings
with not a wing flap, in the we'll
known manner Of turkey vul-
lures, hawks, etc. The number OF
these rapidly Increased, as did
that of the gossamers, as if they
had become suddenly aware of
the uprush of warm air and de-
termined to take advantage of it.
Much later still others of this
species came past me sailing
with the wipd. at a very rapid
speed. equaling that of the
usual bird in direct fight. These
were all rather low down, some
having to rise to pass the tree
! tops. l saw no birds taking adj
vantage of this peculiar condition
except that | noted the chimney
swifts hawking at very great
heights, where the insects had
SO evidently gone.
Inasmuch as I have always OBJ
served vultures, hawks, and other
soaring birds engaged in these

Teachers, Pupils, Patrons.

In order to meet the conditions
in the city and rural schools, the
State Course of Study was revised
last summer by Superintendent
of Public Instruction, J. H.
Ackerman. Each school in our
county has been supplied with a
copy Of this new edition. Ac-
cording to the present advantages
every country school can be
thoroughly graded. Much of
the responsibility not all-in
enforcing this course depends up
on the teacher.
Our teachers have it within
their reach to perform a great
work by seeing the rural schools
planted on a better footing. The
need OF this calls for no comment.
1t is a pleasure to note the ex.
cellent services already rendered
in carrying out the old course BY
our teachers. The defects of the
original course of study have
been eliminated, and many ex
cellent new fee lures have beer
added by the revised course.

WILL YOU NAME THEM?

While the indications are that
the matter Of revision Of tariff
schedules as set forth by the
Dingley bill will have some sup
porters in Congress, it is safe to
predict that railway rate regula-
ton will take up more time than
any other item. There are many
to be found who for some reason
or other cling to the idea Of tariff
tinkering. It looks like this
matter was to be a fight to a
finish and that the issue was to
be worn to a fragile and carried
to a point where it's hackers
would all be killed off,"
Let us ask wherein is there the
greatest need Of revision? Who
will undertake to settle this
point, treating these United
States as a whole and ignoring
the needs Of small localities
Charles A. Moore, in a recent
speech at a banquet Of the Ma
tional Machine Tool Builders
Association, issued the following
challenge:
If the advocates of Tariff revision,
reciprocity or any other change or form
of Tariff law will name twenty articles

Tariff. from a reduction of the duty on
