YES, WE REMEMBER.

The Albany (Ga.) Herald refers to "the veteran editor of The Advertiser as one "who has been here a long time freshing fondness for some of the cus- toms of former times" Well, he has been in this good old world quite a number of years, and like most men whose youth was spent in the ante war days he can look backward with something of regret to many of the scenes and customs of those days. As Longfellow says, 1t is-
 That is not akin to pain.
 And resembles sorrow only
 As the mist re@mbles the rain.
 An, those were good old days in many respects, and some of us can- not forget them and have no desire to do so. We may rejoice with the younger generation in the advances that have been made, the new discoveries. the in ventions and improvements and all else which marks mans powers, but those of us whose span of life began in the first half of the last century, and who can call up memory pictures of the old home, the black nanny the kindly old uncle and all else connected with the days before the war came to change so many things may be par doned sometimes for doubting if we were not better off then than people 'are now. There were some things connected with the civilization of that period that can neither be bettered nor equalled by anything now existing.
 But we will get out of line with the present if we dwell too much on the past. :

IN ASHES.
College of Philomath- Burned to the
Ground Monday Afternoon.

The building that for the past ten
years has housed the College of
Philomath, is in ashes. 1t caught
Ere and was burned to the ground
Monday afternoon. Flames were
discovered in the roof shortly after
two O clock. and within a few min
utes, the fire had spread SO that en-
veloped the whole structure. The
entire population of Philomath
gathered about the building, but af-
ter the chairs and piano had been
removed, nothing further could be
done to save property. Philomath
is entirely without means of fire
protection, having no water supply
beyond that in the wells in the
dooryards of Philomath homes. AS
the people stood watching the
flames that licked up wall, window
door and other parts of the college
building, rejecting the while that
at any moment any home or other
building in the town mi ght go in
the same way with no water supply
to stay the flames. they had an OBJ
ject lesson in the importance and ad-
vantage of the Corvallis mountain
water system, not only to Corvel-
1isites, but to Philomathites as we'll
| From the first it was apparent
that the building was doomed, A
strong wind was blowing from the
north, and it helped to fan the
flames. After removal of the fur
niture and piano, attention was di-
rected to the protection of adjacent
buildings, which flying shingles and
sparks threatened to set on fire. By
three o clock. the entire structure
including the auditorium and class
rooms was smouldering mass of
ruins. The loss is s., 500. 1t is
partly covered by insurance but the
figure was not learned.
The building was erected in the
spring and summer of 1893, to re-
place former structure that, like
its. successor, was destroyed by fire,
the fire having occurred during the
winter of 1923. 1t is not yet
known what effect the destruction
of the building will have upon the
future of the College of Phllomath,
the attendance of which is not
large.
The president of the institution
is Stanley Watkins.
The fire is the most important
that has occurred in Philomath in
about eight years. In the latter
part of the nineties the store build
ing of J. E. Henkle, occupied by
]. w. Ingle with stock of general
merchandise was totally destroyed.

A new toy pistol of the cap var

Grant Hemphill's possession the
other day. Grant is aged nine and
naturally enough he conjured
around with it, shooting imaginary
Indians, train robbers, bears and
other wild and desperate things.
He had the caps to his gun in the
pocket in the rear OF his trousers,
and as he leaned over and aimed
his weapon at some new peril. the
pressure set the caps to exploding.
With both hands a-hold of his rid

smoke streaming from his pocket,

screaming at the top of his voice
and yelling for help. Of course he

Stewart window on the east end of
the building, and is located in the
south end of.the new addition to
the structure. It is made of what
is known as bevel plate glass. lead
ed. and is very handsome. Its
cost was about $175, and it is the
contribution of the widow and chill
dren of the deceased. The inscrip-
ton is burned into the glass in such
way that it can be seen from the
inside of the building, but not from
the outside. 1t consists of the name

A SPLENDID BEGINNING.
Opening Exercises at the M. E. Church
Attract Immense Throngs The
Sermons.


The Methodist Episcopal church
of Corvallis re.opened its doors to
the public Sunday morning. Like
an old friend arrayed in new appar-.
Ell the edi6ce was greeted warmly
by all, and was by all inspected and
pronounced improved greatly in
appearance. In spite of the larger
seating capacity afforded by the re-
modelling, there was not room to ac-
commodate the people that attend
ed both morning and evening serv-
ices, it being necessity in the ev-
ening to throw open the annex.
The morning sermon was by DIR.
RAIDER, editor of the Pacific Chris
ton Advocate, and his theme dealt
with the blessing that comes to the
peacemaker. The reason, he said,
that we are not all peace makers, is
because, we ourselves are not right
with God, and therefore feel a nat
ural timidity in approaching others
on religious subjects, lest we be
abashed by reference to our own
shortcomings. Get right with God
first, said the speaker, and then &c
out and help to right others, to the
/! end that wars shall cease, the heav.
Ed shall reign here and now, and
that 2od's will shall be worked out
on eartfs as He would have it be.

i flow of humor that delighted the
entire audience. The discourse
has been widely commended.
i No less entertaining, although il
different manner and with an en-
tirely different trend Of thought
was the address in the evening by
1 DR.. Rowland, presiding elder O
j this district. His theme was bas
ed on the statement of Christ, g
am the Way, the Truth and the
4 Light" DIR. Rowland's interpre
tation of this statement is. tha
there is but one way, and that it i.
therefore a truthful way and lead:
unto light. This way, of course
is through the sacrifice made b!
the Savior for a world that had sect
too late, its mistake in choosing
death instead of life, when th'
choice was offered the first man ant
woman IN the Garden of Eden
This way to life and truth is still
open, said DIR. Rowland, to all VIII
would accept it and turn from sir
into paths of rectitude. DR.. Row
