HIS new STEAMBOAT.
To Ply On Willamette Rivera
Big Undertaking-The Plan.

Work was started Monday on
a new steamboat that is to be
built tor use on the Willamette
river between Eugene and Port
land. The builder is R. J. Gal
breath who came to Corvallis last
spring from the Alberta country
and purchased what is known as
the Pinkerton place, two miles
from Corvallis, on the Linn coun-
ty side.
In Canada Mr.. Galbreath oper.
ated a coal mine, and previous to
that had twelve years experience
in steamboating on the great
lakes.
The site where the new boat is
being constructed is on the river
bank, two miles from Corvallis,
where launching will be easy
when the craft is complete.
In size the boat will be 7ox1o.
The pipe boiler is being made In
Chicago and the Co. horse power
engine is to be made at the Al.
banv Iron Works. The steamer
will be used for both freight and
passenger service, and Mr.. Gal
breath has perfect confidence in
the success of his undertaking.
1t will be several months before
the big boat is completed and it.
growth will be watched with
much interest by Corvallisites,
Al Kemp is assisting Mr.. Gal
breath with the work.

ANNUAL SHORT COURSES.
At o. A. C.-More Extensive Pro.
gram-NeW Courses Added.

Preparations are about complete
for the annual winter short courses
at the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, and this year the scope of
the work has been so enlarged
that farmers, fruitgrowers, dairy
men, mechanics and even the
teachers of the State will be af-
forded az exceptional opportuni-
,y for self-improvement.
These short courses have been
Given at o. A. c. for the past ten
years, with ever.increas.ng inter
est, and the benefits to be derived
are now so generally recognized
that the demand for the short
courses comes from many classes.
Many farmers who have fol-
lowed this line of work for
years are glad of an opportunity
to learn new and better methods
than those with which they are
familiar, and no better way of af-
fording them the opportunity has
been found than that of the farm
ers' institute and the winter short
courses.
Beginning January 9TH, next,
the following will begin at o. A.
c.:
I. General Agriculture, two
weeks.
2. Dairying, six weeks.
3. Horticulture, six weeks.
a.. Mechanic Arts, six weeks.
S. Household Science, 81 x
weeks.
6. Forestry, six weeks.
The course in Mechanical Art:
will consist entirely of practical
work in the shop or in the
draughting room; the othe1
courses will consist of a series O
lectures. supplemented by dem
ous3rations and by practical exer
cises in the dairy, the orchard,
the labora .or;es or the domestic
science rooms. The work Offered

As the theatrical has invaded
the pulpit often IN the high pla-
ces, SO is ''The Holv City" the
set dramatic story, that is the
cornerstone of Christian belief has
sought the stage and through this
medium has brought home its
lessons to thousands that the
churches DO not reach. Let no
one express an opinion of such
plays until one has seen produc-
ton with his o. her own eyes. A
child will learn more of the lite
of Christ, be he Gentle or Jew,
Christian or unbeliever, in two
hours at "The Holy City" than
he will in an ordinary Sunday
school in a year. "The Holy
City" tells its story in the same
spirit tina. Raphael and Michael
Angelo painted their master
pieces.
Viewed from whatever stand
point one wishes "rhe Holy

two cases by reproductions of the
masterpieces of Michael Angelo.
The music throughout was i'll

play. If all the churches were as
historically correct, as intensely
d amatic and as true and reverent
in spirit as is "The Holy City,
there would be fewer empty pews
and a wider knowledge OF the Bl-
Bile and a truer appreciation of its

pleasure in recommending it as a
thoroughly high-class production.

can get an advantage with 1t over most
