Coal Combustion. :.

There is enough explosive energy in
grateful Of coal, If it could be liber-
ated and controlled, to hurl a 1000
pound projectile through foot Of solid
steel. But there can be no explosion
without oxygen, and the coal in the
crate will not burn faster than the sup
ply Of air which reaches it will permit.
If the coal could be furnished all at
once with enough air to effect it's com.
plete combustion, 1t would explode
with as great violence as If it were SO
much dynamite.

Frivolous PRAYER,

In the. memoirs of Comtesse de
Boigne, who lived over hundred
years ago, appears the following: II
had great speculative veneration for
that youthful Louise de Condo. weep
ing for the crimes of her country at
the foot of affairs. l had formed a
romantic idea of her, but it was neces-
sary to avoid seeing the heroine. Com:
mon, vulgar and ignorant, she was
middle class in her thoughts, in her
sentiments, in her actions, words and
person. One was tempted to pity God
for being so constantly importuned by
her. She called on him for help in
all the most futile circumstances Of
her puerile existence. I have seen her
offer up prayer to recover a ball of
wool which had fallen under her
chair"

MAKES WORK EASIER
Bemidji People Are Pleased to Learn
How It Is Done

It's pretty hard to attend to duties
With a constantly aching back;
With annoying urinary disorders.
Doan's Kidney Pills make work
easier.
! They cure backache.
They cure every kidney ill.
Frank Howes, engineer on the
Milwaukee K. R., 3O11 Cedar Ave-,
Minneapolis, Mimi, says: II used
Doan's Kidney Pills in the fall of
1899 with beneficial results. Like
most railroad men, continual jar and
jolting brought on kidney trouble,
bad pain in my back and loins. I
doctored without success until I pro-
cured Doan's Kidney Pills at drug
store. They soon cured me and
there has been no sign of return"

The All Oregon Fruit Show.

d 2 + IL -
Portland, January I4-I5, 1908,
win be the scene Of the greatest
Horticultural meeting yet held in
the state. Not only will an in
teresting and instructive program
be presented, including talks by
the most successful growers and
shippers in the states of Oregon,
California, Idaho and Washing
ton, but there will be the finest
display of winter fruits ever wit
messed in the Northwest. A
splendid set of cups and awards
will be given for the best fruit
shown, and the judging will be
done by a government officer of
national repute. The complete
premium list will be announced
shortly.
The regular reduced rates will
be accorded by the transporta-
tion companies provided fifty are
present, and the occasion will be
one of wide interest to the fruit
growers of this entire Northwest,
and particularly of Oregon.
At this time we want to call
the attention of every producer
of choice winter fruit to the sub
ject OF exhibiting and the impor-
tance of fling his request for
space at an early date.
The exhibit already exceeds
in promises, that made last year,
SO that it is important that ex-
hib1tors file their request tor
space at an early date with J. H.
Reid, Milwaukee.
1t is not every year that we
have an opportunity of having
our products passed upon by
a national expert. The occasion
ought to be one of great value
to our growers. Bring or send
your unknown or new varieties
as WE'LL, so that they may be
named. E. R. LAKE,
Secretary.

Miss Anna French had died sud-
denly at the family home west of

tails learned, the young lady had

with jaundice but nothing serious
was thought OF it. On Christ
mas day Miss French was down
town and took cold, but still her
trouble was not regarded with
alarm by her relatives. Sunday
morning, however. she was So
much worse that a Corvallis ply
sician was summoned, but before
his arrival the young woman was
dead.
The funeral occurred yester-.
day afternoon at two O. clock from

"Why Girls Leave H0me"-A,
Opera House Tonight.

The: problem "Why Girls
Leave Home" is one that has
taxed the minds Of many parents
to solve, but it is said that care
full study Of the play by that
name which will be presented at
the Opera House tonight, will as
sist materially. in the solution,
and also point ont a moral that
cannot 60 unnoticed. The story
is one that is told in a new man
ner, and by the use of dramatic
license forms many stage pictures
of interest. 1t deals principal,
with four persons, mother, broth
er and two sisters, one of whom
being susceptible to fattery is
induced to leave her home against
the wishes of her mother, ard is,
]ured to a dubious restaurant,
and is there induced to drink and
associate with debonair scoun-
drels and women without princi-
pie or aim in life. The story
is unfolded d in a coherent and con-
nected manner ard is absolutely
devoid OF all borse- play ard blood
and thurder, SO usual in present
day productions. The play is
produced by an excellent cast
and Genes highly recommended.

A CORVALLIS LADS OPINION
OF Sights Seen in California
Coach Swann's Letter.

81 am now in sunny California
and the weather is pretty nice,
] must admit" /" writes Claude
Swami to bis parents in Cor
wallis. from San Francisco on
December 23. Lilies and all
kinds Of house plants are in bloom
out Of doors. We went ont to
Golden Gate Park. saw the ocean,
San Francisco bay, the place
where the Cliff House stood and
many other places Of interest, /"
writes the little basket ball coach,
and continues:
"San Francisco looks like q
village for it has never been
cleaned up good yet and many of
the old buildings are lying just
as they fell. The streets have
never been cleaned up enough
iso an automobile can get along.
You cannot imagine how terrible
the shock was unless you could
see things, and Of course they are
much better now than they were.
I can sit right where I am in
Hotel Stewart, and look out
the window and see for miles and
cannot see building of any con-
sequence that is whole, and all
the buildings I can see that are
over three stories high are moth
ing but ruins. There are great
piles of brick and twisted frame
work to be seen.in every direc-
ton. The city hall is certainly
a tough looking customer, and
and so is the St. Francis Hotel,
which was the finest on the
coast. We are staying just
across the street from it at fine
hotel. There are eleven of us
here, we get a rate and still pay
$35 per day.
"California is all right and
thee is certainly lots to see.
We saw some beautiful scenery
as we were coming over the Sis
kiyous, but the best of all was at
Shasta Springs. That is GER
tainly a great place, everything
one could wish. We landed
there at 7 p. m. and all the
lights were on. A little stream
flows down the mountain there
and it has about 40 small falls
and the bed of the stream is
lined different colored electric
lights with the water flowing
over them and maybe yon think
it isn't pretty.
1.-THE whole Sacramento Val
ley is not so slow, either. We
play tonight at Berkeley, on
Wednesday and Thursday nights
at Santa Cruz aud New Year
day at Salt Lake City, so we will
be going some in the next week. ~

Played Basket Ball in Albany

In a most exciting game of
basket ball at the local rink on
Thursday night, the Corvallis
skating team defeated the local
FIVE by score OF 81 to 6. In
spite of the large score which the
visitors piled up against the Al
bany boys. the game proved most
interesting to the spectators
because of this beirg the frs,
basket ball game play ed on
skates. Familiarity with the
finer points OF the game combined
with the ability to throw baskets
wherever tue opportunity offered,
gave tie Corvallis boys their
large score. In the first FIVE min
utes of play the visitors by swif
work piled up the, majority OF
their points, but thereafter Dur
ing the remainder of the first hall
and throughout the second half,
the local boys held the visitor:
down, and the game was more
even. At the end of the first
half the scere was IS to 8. Th.
points for the meme tesm
were made on throws from the

KEEPING CHRISTMAS.
Spirit of the Day Should Linger
Throughout the Year.

1t is good thing to observe
Christmas day. The me- mark
ing of times and seasons, when
men agree to stop work and make
merry together is a wise and
wholesome custom, writes Rev.
Henry Van Dyke, D. D. 1t
helps one to feel the supremacy
of the common life over the in
dividual lite. 1t reminds the
man to set his own little watch
now and then, by the great watch
of humanity which runs on sun
time. ...-
: But there is a better thing thar
the observance OF Christmas day,
and that Is keeping Christmas.
Are you willing to forget what
you have done for other people
and to remember what other
people have done for you; to
ignore what the world owes you,
and to think what you owe to
the world; to put your rights in
the background, and your duties
in the middle distance, and your
chances to do a little more than
your. duty in the foreground; to
see that your fellowmen are just
as real as you are, and try to
look behind their faces to their
hearts, bunerey for joy; to own
that probably the only good rea-
son for cur existence is not what
you are going to get out of life,
but what you are going to give to
lie; 10 close your book of COM
plants against the management
of the universe, and to look
around you for place where you
can sow few seeds of happiness
are you willing to do tb.,se
things even for day? Then you
can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to stoop down
and consider the needs and desires
of little children; to remember
the weakness and loneliness of
people who are growing old; to
stop asking how much your
friends love you, and ask yourself
whether you love them enough; !;
to bear in mind the things that
other people have to lear on their
hearts; to try to understand what
those, who live in the same house
with you really want, without
waiting for them to tell you; to
trim your lamp SO that it will give
more light and less smoke, and
to carry it in front so that your
shadow will fall behind you; to
make a grave for all your ugly
thoughts, and a garden for your
kindly feelings, with the gate
open-are you willing to do these
things even for a day? Then you
can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to believe that
love is the strongest thing in the
world stronger than hate or evil,
stronger than death-aud that the
blessed life which beean in Beth
lehem 1900 years ago is the inn
age and brightness of the eternal
love? Then you can keep Christ
mas.
And .if you keep 1t for a day,
Why not keep it always?
But you can never keep it alone.

Ii human nature were not base, but
thoroughly honorable, we should in ev-
cry debate have no other aim than tho
discovery OF truth. We should not in
the least care whether the truth proved
TO be In favor Of the opinion which we
had begun by expressing or Of the
opinion OF our adversary That we
should regnrd as a matter OF no mo
ment or, at any rate, OF very seconda-
ry consequence; but as things are. 1t Is
the main concern Our innate vanity,
which is particularly sensitive in ref
erence TO our intellectual powers. will
not suffer MS to allow that our frst po-
sltion was wrong and our adversary's
right The way out Of this difficulty
would be simply to take the trouble al
ways to form a correct judgment. For
this a man would have to think before
he spoke. But with most men. innate
vanity is accompanied by loquaclty and
innate dishonesty They speak before
they think, and even though they may
Rfterward perceive that they arc wrong
and that what they assert is false they
want it to seem the contrary. AS a
rule. then, every man win insist on
maintaining whatever he has said, even
though for the moment he may consld-
er 1t false or doubtful
