Many Going.

Many Fasteners are coming
west and many local residents
are going East, as result of the
cheap rates that are now on.
Such an opportunity has never
before been afforded the travel
ing public, and it is small wonder
that last week saw several Cor
vallisites depart for the East,
while others are planning to come
West.
Still other rates begin Septem-
Der 1st, and continue until Octo-
Der 31st. This is the rate that
brings the actual settlers to Ore
gon and means that people can
come to this state from Kansas
City St. Paul, Minneapolis, and
all the great territory between
the Missouri River and the Rocky
Mountains for $25.
It should be borne in mind that
the most important thing of all is
that these people must buy their
tickets direct to the towns they
want to reach. This is true with
regard to Medford, Eugene, The
Dalles, Astoria, and every other
city or town in Oregon. Many
people get the impression that
they can come to Portland and
then continue their trip to point

Welded Yesterday.

A very pretty wedding occurre d
yesterday forenoon at Ii o'clock
at the Episcopal church, the
bride being Miss Elizabeth,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Armstrong of Benton county, and
the groom, Richard Harte Keat-
inge, of Palo Alto, California.
The church was lavishly
decorated for the occasion with
asparagus fern, clematis and
choice roses and was very beauti-
full.
While the guests were arriving
at the church Miss Lulu Spang-
Ter sang two, solos with splendid
effect.
At the appointed hour Mrs.
Inez Wilson took her place at the
organ and the bridal party enter
ed the edifice and marched up the
aisle to positions at the chancel
rail. The ring ceremony was
performed by Rev. Simpson of
Portland, assisted by Rev. Arm
strong of the local church, the
bride being given away by her
father.
The bride was beautifully gown
ed in white crepe de chine with
full veil, caught IN place with
real orange blossoms. Her sister,
Miss Catherine Armstrong, was
maid of honor, while four girl
friends, Misses Louise Emmons
of Portland, Maud Van Dusen of
Astoria, Polly Hewitt of Portland
and Nancy Keatinge of Palo Alto
acted as brides maids. The
maid of honor wore a costume of
pale green, while the maids were
prettily attired in Princess dresses
of white null, with lingerie hats.
Charles Armstrong, brother of
the bride, was best man.
A delicious wedding breakfast
was served at the home of Miss
Smell in this city, and later in
the day the happy couple depart
ed for British Columbia on a
honeymoon trip. They will re-
side in Palo Alto, where the good
wishes Of a host of friends follow
them.

Plug Hat Did 1t.

An amusing thing occurred up
in Seattle the first of this week,
which is related in an Oregonian
dispatch from that city as
follows: Just one hour after he
had arrived in Seattle as an
Eskimo delegate from the
Aleutian Islands to the annual
Christian Endeavor National
|Convention a native Alaskan was
on his way home again aboard
the steamship Rainier. The
native missionary had no more
than landed in Seattle before he
learned that the prominent En-
Ideavorers were expected to wear
silk hats and frock-coats to meet
Vice. President Fairbanks and
on other occasions. AS soon as
he heard this the Eskimo En-
|deavorer returned to the dock
booked passage on the steamship
Rainier, sailing this afternoon
with freight FOR Katalla, and
started for home again. He
will have to Fl nd some boat at
Katalla for Valdez and go from
that point to the islands, but the
Northern missionary refused to
wait for better accommodations.
AS matter of fact the original
decision to enforce the wearing
of frock-coats and silk hats on
formal occasions was done away
with, but the Eskimo missionary
did not wait to learn that much.
He did not even register here
as a delegate, and officers of the
steamship Olympia who can pro-
nounce, cannot spell his name.

The latest in railroad circles
likely to prove of interest to Cor
valIisites is the rumor that
Hartman may take it into his
head to extend the C. & E. on
east to Vale, Eastern Oregon.
We know the route is far more
feasible and a better-paying
proposition than the late John
Il. Mitchell's talked of road to
Mars. We hope the last reports
Of c. & E. possibilities are we'll

Mistakes In Maxinas

Virtue is its only reward.
The wages of sin is debt.
Policy is the best honesty.
A pitch in time saves nine.
Many hands like light work.
Oscillation is the thief of time.
A bird in the hand lays no eggs.
Every dogma must have its
day.
A thirsty man will catch at a
straw.
The woman who collaborates
is lost.
Straws show which way the
gin goes.
The rolling stone catches the
worm.
It is not good for a man to

A bsinthe make; the heart grow

The lack of money is the root
of all evil.

When wisdom is bliss it is
folly to be ignorant.
All that a man hath will he

LIFE.

LTery life represents d Tragedy.
Tle thread which sustains life
is 0f weak fiber and delicate IN
d, s.gn. 1t is swapping every
81 cond Of time, and life is snuff
eC 3ut in twinkling and with
n more apparent effort than is
REQUIRED to blow out the candle'
wen one repairs to the doWny
cr4ch to indulge IN sweet dreams
o. hideous nightmare. Our own
liz is a riddle to all of US. 1t
contains mystery which battles
ali understanding. The secre-
tive quality is more or less active
in all human lives.
All of US struggle along, each
bowed unded some burden of his
own, and which he cannot shift
to other shoulders, try he ever
so hard. There are sorrows and
aches hidden in every human
heart and they are to remain
there until relentless Fate snaps
the tiny thread of life and all is
over. We little know the heart
secrets of our neighbors-yea! of
our dearest friends even. We
cannot guess these secrets nor
can the possessor of them tell OF
the weight Of sorrow and bitter
ness which may be crushing him.
'Tis better so, for then all
mankind would be still more
miserable.
Lucky, indeed, is that being
who in reality is care-free, or
even nearly so, who can laugh
and joke and feel no responsible
lity, for then he is immune from
that which is bearing a friend to
earth. He who can at all times
enjoy life lives indeed. But we
cannot all be of such a nature,
try however hard we may.
Nearly all of us, being intimate
with our own sorrows, wish our
selves other than we are, and in
deed it would be better for the
world if some Of US were differ
ent. We are not so charitable in
dealing with what we term the
short comings Of our fellows as
we might be, but this itself is
life. We wish ourselves differ
ent, but we can no more change
our natures than the leopard
can change his spots.
The world grows older, but
life is ever the same and human
nature changes little, if any.
Some men live for wealth, some
for fame, some for the joy of
affection for their kind, some
for sorrow, toll and pain and
still others for the carnival of
Joy which has become the
breath of life to them. Each
being lives for something and
has an inward vision of possible
happiness as we'll as the outward
physical and material realities
whi:h rise as obstacles on every
hand. All these things go to
make up life; they are part of
life and without these possibilities
life would not mean what it
does. How fleeting is life after
all, and yet quite often long
enough. The thread is weak and
still, sometimes, quite strong.
