attend Dallas College an opportunity
to pursue course in Shorthand under
personal instruction. )"
Prof. Hardin has had nine years
teaching shorthand by
mail, and is recognized as one OF the
best correspondence school men along
the Pacific Coast He has been writing
shorthand since a young boy, and has
greatly improved the system which he
teaches. He informs us that the de-
mand for stenographers is rapidly
increasing, &, and and that that competent writers
of shorthand are being placed every
day in responsible positions.
Another feature of the improved
College will be that the department OF
Music will be directly in connection
with the school, and will be under the
direction of Prof. William Caldwell.
Professor Caldwell comes to Dallas
with very high recommendations as a
teacher of Music, having studied with
the best instructors in this country.
Among his instructors are the eeminent
musicians, Prof. Emil Winkler, OF
Leipsig, Germany, and Prof. Edward
B. Fleck, of st. Petersburg, Russia,
who was a pupil of the great Ruben
stein. The music room will be equipped
with gh-grade piano, which viii
be at the disposal of the students, anc
every detail will be considered which
will make an improvement in this
department.
The athletics of the College will no
be sacrificed to it's advanced educa
tional facilities, as the school ha'
ACQUIRED sole control Of the gym
nasium building and DR.. II. L. Toney
the physical director, will endeavor t.
turn out for the College the best baske
ball team this year in the Willamett
Valley.
The faculty of the College remain
the same, with Prof. d. M. Metzger a
Dean. With its improved curriculum
new departmentsand highly competen
instructors, the prospect for Dalla
College is very brilliant, and with tn
cooperation of the community can b
made the best school in Wester
Oregon.

Logs for Newberg Mill.

In about thirty days it is expected
that logs from the great forests above
Falls City will be arriving at the mill
in Newberg for the Spaulding Log
ging Company in train loads of twelve
to fourteen cars day. Camps are
being established in the timber and
with their new facilities for trans
porting the logs direct from the forests
to the mill by rail, they will be able to
fill any kind of an order for lumber
within a very few days after it, given
them. The company has under con-
slderation the matter of putting on a
night shift, and if this is done the
mill will turn out something like
100000 feet of lumber in the twenty
hours run. The bulk Of the output OF
the mill is being sold to the Salt Lake
City market. Newberg Graphic.

Dallas College will open it's doors
on Wednesday, September 10, for the

ming Of the present vacation, and

the subject of sermon delivered at
the United Evangelical church Sun
day night by DR.. @. A. Mock, the new
president of Dallas college. DR.. Mock
iikened Christianity to a growing boy
and creeds to a growing boys clothing

healthy sign when Christianity out
grows a creed. We all have a creed,
he said, but it is not necessarily what
the thing is. The minister denied
that Christ is losing his hold on the
world. but alleged that the world was

Dallas College needs the sympathy
GOODWILL and cooperation OF the
people Of its home town, and l belleVe
Dallas needs the College and is none
the less able to sustain a strong lnstl-
tuition than other towns OF the valley
which lack many of the advantages
possessed by Dallas. The interests OF

mote the general welfare, the College
will always be ready to cooperate

NOTES BY THE WAY
Mrs. KOzer Tells of a Pleasant Day
Spent Amid Historic Scenes
fContinued from Lnst Week.l


Leading down a beautiful lane about
a quarter Of mile from the Mansion,
we found the Tomb of Washington.
1t is a very plain structure Of brick,
with an arched gateway in front, above
which, on marble slab, is inscribed,
within " iitiiliu this enclosure rest the re-
mains Of Gen. George Washington"
In the ante-chamber are seen two
marble sarcophagi, each hewn from a
single block of marble. Here the re-
mains of Washington and Martha,
his wife, were intrusted to their final
keeping and the keys cast into the
Potomac river. Within the vault rest
forty members of the Washington and
Custis families. Near by are monu-
ments to the memory of four OF them.
Interest attaches to several trees
which have been planted as tributes
to Washington. An elm, planted by
Don Pedro, Emperor Of Brazil; a
British oak, planted by request OF
H. r. H. Prince of Wales to replace
the memorial tree planted by him
during his visit to Mt. Vernon in 1860;
German linden, planted February
27, 1902, by Prince Henry of Russia
Concord Elm, by the children OF the
American Revolution.
The Flower Garden is quaint with
its lockwood hedges, which are reputed
to have been set out more than a
century and half ago. Some OF the
beds near the greenhouse are very in
; tricate and curious in design. AT the
foot Of the garden is the famous Mary
Washington rose named by Wash
ington for his mother. Slips OF this
rose, cuttings from the willow which
came from Napoleon's grave at st
Helena, and young palms from th'
Sage, are sold as souvenirs.
, The Sago-palm is the only green
, house plant now living which was a
Mt. Vernon in Washington's day. All
elm in one Of the mounds near tn
entrance was slip from the old Wash
ington elm in Cambridge. Itwas sen
by Miss Alice Longfellow and plante'
by Mrs. Cleveland. Near by is tn

from the James River in 1899, the las

RIGHT LEG TO BE A,RUTATED.

With the flesh torn from the bone
Of his leg from thigh to ankle. and
MANNED for life Anthony Bacon. a
colored laborer at the Paducah We
neer and Lumber company, was yes
terday afternoon taken from a mass
of cog wheels at the plant just in
time to save him from a horrible
death His screams of agony as he
was being drawn into the mass of
sharp toothed eogs acted as warn
ing, and the machinery was stopped
Instantly.
Bacon was working near the cogs
when a frayed portion OF his overalls
on the right leg caught in the cogs.
He felt himself being pulled In. He
cried out in agony several times. but
before the machinery was stopped
his leg had been drawn In.
The cogs ground the flesh to a
pulp, stripping the leg nearly bare
from the angle to the thigh. In an
other few seconds the body would
have been drawn into the machinery
and death would have resulted.
Comrades rushed to the scene of
the accident and found Bacon lying
trembling and ir semi-conscious
condition. DR.. Carl NJ Sears was
hastily summoned and removed the
injured negro to his home on Hayes
avenue where drugs were literally
used to ease the pain.
DR.. Sears stated this morning that
he would have to amputate the limb.
The patient is in a weak condition
and may not survive the operation.
