INTERPRETS GREAT DRAMA
President Mulkey's Lecture on
"IIamlet" Wins High Praise
from Press and Critics:

Professor B. T. Mulkey, president
of the Ashland State Normal School,
is receiving the highest praise OF the
press and critics everywhere for the
excellence of his lecture on Shakes
peare's greatest drama, "Hamlet. "
So many people in Polk County have
expressed desire to hear this lecture
that School Superintendent @. L. Starr
is endeavoring to arrange for its de-
livery in Dallas some time in the
month of November. 1t is earnestly
hoped that the Superintendent will be
successful in his efforts to secure this
splendid literary treat for the people
of Polk county. Speaking of Professor
Mulkey's lecture, recent number Of
the Ashland Tidings says:
president B. F. Mulkey of the
Southern Oregon State Normal has
lectured before teachers institutes
and educational meetings up and down
the line through Oregon and Northern
California, and his excellent ability is
generally recognized among the
teachers fraternity. His appearance
upon the Southern Oregon Chatauqua
platform the other day when he de-
livered his lecture upon the greatest
of dramas, Hamlet, and the way in
which it was received, suggested that
President Mulkey is the peer OF many
speakers who have been quite success
full in the Chatauqua field in winning
fame and fortune.
ellis Interpretation of the classic
tragedy of Hamlet is excellent, and
his delivery always marvelously
effective. He follows the thread OF
the plot, quoting frequently the famous
passages in manner which would
do credit to many renowned i'm,
personators of the characters Of the
play. The wholesome lessons drawn
, by the speaker from the lines Of the
various characters could not fail tC
impress deeply every hearer. Presi.
dent Mulkey's interesting and in
structive impersonation Of the several
characters; his Interpretation OF the
} bard's immortal lines; his genuine
> dramatic skill in the portrayal OF th'
scenes Of the climaxes of the drama
} bid fair to rank him among th'
3 lecturers and critics Of the play

VIII EXHIBIT Arabian Horses.

From Mr.. Bingham Of the firm Of
Bingham Il Todd, livestock breeders
near Woodburn, Oregon, we learn
that they will exhibit five Arabian
horses at the Oregon state fair in
Salem. Three Of these are stations
and the others are mares. The latter
are the only Arabian mares in the
United States at present, SO far as Mr.
Bingham knows as he imported them
direct from their native country; they
are and years old respectively. A
colt from one Of these mares was solo
for $14OO to w. f. Banan, Of Albany

MONMOUTH NORMAL GROWS
President Ressler Tells of Prepara-
tiOns Made for Silver
Anniversary.

President +. d. Ressler Of the Mon
mouth state normal school is at the
Oregon. He is on his way to eastern
Oregon to attend a series of county
teachers institutes in Union, Baker,
Grant, Harvey, Lake and klamath
counties. He reports bright prospects
for the Monmouth normal, which be-
gins its 25th session September 26.
Preparations have already been made
for fitting celebration Of the insti-
tution's silver anniversary. Former
presidents and members of the faculty,
regents and hundreds of students are
expected to attend, and an elaborate
musical and literary program is being
planned.
The 46 graduates sent out the past
year have all secured good positions
and the demand for more teachers is
still unsatlsfied. The chief call is fol
young men as principals and high
school teachers, who are now being
secured largely from the east. There
is no excuse for any young man In
Oregon teaching in country districts
if he will secure a good academic anc
professional training. Mr.. Resslel
says:
1.-TWO new instructors are to b
added to the faculty, and number O
repairs and improvements made abou
the buildings" Mr.. Ressler will re
turn to Monmouth in time for th'
opening of school.-Evening Tele

H0NORS ARE NOW EVEN
Third Game win Be Necessary TO
Decide Championship Between
Tennis Teams.

Honors between the Dallas and
Salem lawn tennis teams are now
even, each having won one game in
the contest for the championship Of
Polk and Marion counties. The game
in Salem, Monday, was won by Will
man and Babcock, of that city, the
scores being go, go and GA
The Salem Statesman says; "Tracy
Staats and Walter Williams, the
Dallas team, made a hard fight for
the match, which If they had won,
would have given them the champion
ship over the Salem team, but Frank
S. Whitman and Rev. H. 7, Babcock
we're a trifle too much for them. How
ever, in justice to Dallas, although
Mr.. Stats did not say so himself, it
is said by those familiar with his
playing that he was decidedly off color
Monday
"The Dallas players are pleased
with the treatment received at the
hands Of the Salem people, and they
in return are said by the locals to be
good losers, as well as fine fellows
and excellent players.
"The officials were E. M. Smith,
county clerk Of Polk county, umpire
Frank Grannis andL. r. M. Pierce,
linesmen, and George F. Skiff, scorer
"Another match to decide the winner
Of the series has been arranged and
will be played in Dallas in the neal
future.
"In this match Salem will probably
be represented by Willman and Skiff
This will be warm one, and a hard
fight for honors is assured"

NOTES BY THE WAY
MRS. KOzer Tells of a Visit to the
Christian Scientists Temple
In Boston.
Continued from Last Week.

There are scores ofplaces Of peculiar
interest to visit in Boston, and so
great was this interest in each that
we found it more difficult to get away
than it was to get there. We made
dlllgent use Of our time, and thought
we could return home pretty we'll
satisfied, but we must not leave Boston
Without a word about the great
Christian Science temple. AS far as
temples go, it leads the leaders in
Boston or anywhere in this country.
fremont temple has to take second
place as to size and number of meeting
rooms.
On June 10, 1906, from 6 to o'clock
a. M, the d0xology and other hymn
tunes were rung out on the great
chime bells, awakening all to the fact
that one of the most remarkable events
in the history of the comparatively
new sect was about to begin.
AS early as l a. M, Sunday, the
march Of the faithful toward the
church began from all parts of the
city At 1880 sharp, the doors were
opened, and au orderly rush was made
for admittance. Ten minutes later
the church was packed and 10000
persons were left outside to wait for
the next service, (1O:3O o'clock,) pack
ing the doorways and guarding their
places with their lives, with an eager
determination to get into one Of the
services.
Pillars of the church found time for
mission work during the wait for the
doors to open again. One strong
minded woman hooked up to an un'
believing Vermonter who was visiting
the city and had come up to see the
new church. Her logic was forcible
and the farmer admitted all she SAID
of the wonders of the "only reaI
Christian religion" but he said he
guessed he had enough farm work OF
Sunday to keep the church problem il
the background. Even the policemen
were touched, and several admitted
that if they had much more duty a

would be converted.
The great auditorium and the slopint
dome, filled with men and womel
whose attention was riveted on tn
readers, all under one great dome, 8
feet in diameter and 200 feet from tn
ground, was most impressive sight
When the lights were turned on TO
the evening service, the new churcl

Inside the sight was even more i'm
pressive. The auditorium is lighte

feature of the big church. The dom

FORTUNES IN DAIRYING
"Quit Raising Wheat and Buy More
Cows" Says K. c. Eldrldge,
the Creamery Man.

The following interview with X. @.
Eldridge. the well-known creamery
man, on the importance Of the dairy
ing industry, appeared in Sundays
Oregonian. 1t should be read and re-
read by every farmer who is giving
all of his attention to wheat and none
to cows:
"That the COW is the best Of money
maker for tho farmer is the assertion
OF X. o. Eldridge, Of Independence.
owner Of creameries at Independence,
Dayton, Jefferson, Eugene and juno
tion City, and one Of the largest
buyers Of cream in the Willamette
Valley.
"'A large part of the prosperity OF
the Willamette Valley has come from
the milch COW, said he last night.
'Dairying beats wheatraising out OF
sight And three or four years Of
dairying on wheat land will double
the wheat-growing capacity Of the
soil. A number Of farmers in Polk
are raising moro than 80 bushels OF
wheat to the acre on such land, which
several years ago would not produce
more than 10 or is bushels.
"A farmer with, say so COWS,
although that's a pretty large herd,
and with hogs and chickens as access
sories, can make more money than do
many Of the country banks-that Is, II
he uses brains as we'll as hands. It's
a bonanza for him, sure enough.
Farmers are fast coming into realiza-
tion of this; in fact, many Of them
realize it already. Dairy products
always can find a market without
hunting for it, at high prices. But
dairying requires constant and close
attention every day in the year, and
for this reason some farmers are un-
willing to take up with it.
'DaiIying has enabled many q
farmer to clear himself Of debt and
store up a bank account. One man
Of my acquaintance, who, six years
ago, owned 80 acres OF land and was
in debt by going into the dairying
business paid his debt. bought 20
acres more for $3.50, and has paid
$25OO OF this price already. The other
day he sold IA 6-months-old hogs for
$2l7. Another farmer, with IA acres,
last January sold $lSS worth Of eggs
and $57 worth Of butter fat He has
900 chickens and half dozen cows.
Another who, four years ago, had to
borrow money to buy a COW, now has
money to lend, and ] know OF his
having loaned $500.
"'A farmer who has stuck to wheat
raising and has been going behind,
recently declared to me disdainfully
that he would not go into the business
! of milking COWS. / responded that he
would have to or the Sheriff would pay
him visit. His reply was that the
! Sheriff was almost upon him already.
0 " In Polk County, six years ago,
j there was not one farmer owning
8 eight COWS. Today there are few
!, dairymen owning less than eight. OF
J. the 375 farmers selling milk to our
: Independence creameries. at least SOC
have eight COWS or moro, and many
have from 10 to 25 COWS.
"In Polk County, Mr.. Eldridge said,
most Of the COWS are Jerseys and some
are Holsteins, these two types being
famous mixers. The dual-purpose
COW, he said, was scarce. The chiel
forage plants are clover and vetch
which grow in great abundance, while
kale and alfalfa are growing In
favor"
