COLUMBUS COLLEGE.
Opens at Chamberlain, S. D., on We'd
nesday, October ~.

nesday, October ~.
Columbus college, the new Catholic
college at Chamberlain, S. D., will be
opened to students on Wednesday, Oct.
q. The president of the college, to-
gether with his staff Of professors, has
arrived, and preparations are being
rapidly pushed toward completion for
the opening, when everything is ex-
pected to be in readiness for the sta
dents.
The college will be open to male stu
dents only, as the Catholics do not
conduct their higher institutions OF
learning on the coeducation plan, al
ways maintaining separate institutions
for each sex. Two college departments
will be opened this year-the classical
and commercial-and only boys who
are graduates of the eighth grade will
be admitted to either department. Stu
dents whose homes are outside of
Chamberlain or vicinity must take up
their residences at the college. While
the college will be conducted by Catho-
Tic educators, it will be absolutely nom
sectarian, and pains will be taken that
nothing either in the textbooks or
discipline will in any way interfere
with the religious beliefs of the stu
dent body. A state charter will be Sc
cured authorizing the faculty to con-
fer the usual college degrees on those
who complete the regular courses. Spe-
cial attention will be paid to athlet-
les Several thousand dollars will be
expended on a new gymnasium and
campus, and a salaried coach will be
retained to take charge of the football
and baseball teams as soon as the at
tendance will justify the outlay.
The intention of Bishop O'Gorman
and the ST. Viateur society is to de-
velop the institution into a university
as soon as conditions will warrant, and
the vast extent Of territory from which
it has to draw undoubtedly will make
it's growth and development rapid.
Some of the area may be obtained by
taking Chamberlain as the central
point and describing a circle through
st. Paul, Dubuque, Omaha, Denver and
Helena, Mont, no other Catholic col
!ege except the one located here being
within the territory described.
Rev. Father O'Flaherty, who has been
purchasing furniture and supplies for
the institution says there now is suf-
ficient room for at least 200 students.
The location of the college on the
banks of the Missouri river, just north
Of Chamberlain, is ideal. There are at
present five main buildings provided
with an excellent system Of waterworks
and sewerage, and the extensive and
picturesque grounds are admirably
suited for the new buildings which will
be built.
In addition to the impetus which the
institution will receive through the eff
forts Of Bishop O'Gorman and the St
viateur society, the Knights Of Column
bus, strong fraternal Catholic organ
ization, is taking an active interest in
the success of the college, which takes
it's name from that order, as we'll as
from Columbus, the Catholic discoverer
of America.

A socialist member Of the British
parliament named Victor Grayson
made an incendiary address in Ira
falgar square last Sunday, on the exc
cution of Ferrer, the Spanish revolu-
zionist. Grayson said that as King
Edward might have saved the life of
ferrer by interfering, the king was
responsible for anything which might
happen in England as result. That
sort of talk is reprehensible in the ex-
IRENE and Grayson should be held re-
sponsible for his yelled threat to the
authorities. After listening to the
Grayson speech, 10000 socialists and
members of various labor organiza-
lions paraded to the very doors OF
Buckingham palace and the Spanish
embassy, carrying a blood red ball
ner inscribed, Down with the murder.

Arthur Green, at Chelan Falls, has a
White Winter Pearmain tree that has
been bearing for eleven years. He has
kept track OF this tree since it was five
years old. That year it produced five
boxes OF fine marketable apples. The
next year ten and last year twenty-five
boxes which would bring $1.50 per
box. With 100 Of these trees growing
on an acre you can about figure out the
profit and what such land is worth.

Just a Sample

That swearing is habit, foolish
and useless habit, is we'll shown by the
following edited account of an accident
related by a mountaineer who inhabits
little cabin not more than twenty-four
hours into the mountains from Leaven-
worth:
well, by jinks, I'll tell you of what
happened to me, by George, one trip
over this pass, by grab, bout two year
ago. l was teamin' with four of the
best bosses, by heck, that man ever
drew line over, by gosh. But, by
doggie, just as 1 got to the worst part
OF the road, by craps, one of my wheel
ers stumbled, by gum, and, by thunder,
fell over the bank, tearin' hisself loose,
by iimminy, and rollin' down the
mountain, by crimminy, for forty yards,
by dad. Once, by jinks, he stopped,
just teeterin' on top of big log, by
plea, but before I could get to him, by
the holy smoke, he fell over and went
another forty yards, by cracky. Then,
he fell between two logs, by hinky,
with his feet up in the air, by thunder.
had deuce of time gettin' him
out, by Caesar; but 1 did, by snooks,
and worked all day tryin' to get him
back to the road, by the jumping jerry.
1t was steeper'n all git out, by hack,
but l got him up, by gravy. Most
fellers would "a give him up, by grab,
and killed him, but not me, by hen.
No, sir, by the sufferin' Mike, l just
stuck to him, by doggie, and saved
him. Give him up? Shucks!

A G. N. OIL-BURNING ENGINE
Makes Successful Run Between Everett and
LeavenwOrth

An innovation in railroad circles OF
this state was the testing of an oil
burning locomotive between Everett
and Leavenworth on the Great North
ern. G. F. Won Boden, the oil expert
of the Southern Pacific, superintendent
the installation of the apparatus in
Great Northern engine No. 1905.
The trip to Leavenworth was made
on schedule time, the test proving a
complete success. The Great Northern
is not ready at this time to make any
announcement as to whether or not
more of their engines will be thus
equipped; but, owing to the successful
performance of the first one, others will
probably be put on in the near future.
Engine 1905 has been equipped with
Heintzleman fire box arrangements,
which consist in placing the fire box
under the boiler near the back tiue
sheet in such manner that the flame
is shot towards the fire door, instead OF
in the opposite direction, as in other
types of oil burners. The only brick
work in the fire box is just sufficient to
cover the pan forming the fire chamber,
thus Tightening the weight of the entire
fire box.
Oil-burning locomotives have proved
complete success on the Southern
Pacific, being able to run the maximum
speed and pull as heavy tonnage as
any Of the coal-burning engines at less
expense. Another advantage is that
an oil-burning engine can maintain a
maximum steam pressure at all times,
whereas the pressure continually varies
on a coal burner.

As the Horse Sees Il

I was lying on my back under the
tree and keeping the horses from stray
ing too far from camp. must have
dozed, for all at once l was startled by
seeing Rowdy standing almost on top
of me.
Whoa, Rowdy!" 1 yelled. Look
out there, you'll step on me-"
No, I'll not" he replied, calmly.
Il just want to talk to you, that's all.
Lie still; I've got crouch, and I want
to work it off,"
"All right, 60 ahead"
Did it ever occur to you that a
horse like me has a big kick coming
against the way fate has treated him?
Why, just think of it! Here I am,
owned body and soul by you. Whatever
you say goes, or get licked. No
matter how hard l work or how fast
go, l must try to do little better if
you ask me to; and if I don't succeed
you have the right to pour the whip
into me. The best / can get out of
life is hay and oats and place to sleep.
I can't choose my work, l can't choose
my pace, l can't say when I'll work or
when I'll rest. In fact, I haven't got
any say at all. You are the whole show.
You are 1t. You insist that you are
one of the higher animals, and lay
claim to a mind. Well, maybe you
have got one; but you don't overwork
it when you are around me-"
How is that?"
"I'll show you. Does it ever occur
to you to ask me, when you are hitch
ing me up, whether feel like working
or not, whether l have indigestion, or
headache, or sore shoulder, or a
lame back, or bruised foot? No; you
just slap the harness on, hook me up,
and yell, Get up, Rowdyl' Then, if
I hang back and don't want to go, be-
cause l don't feel like it, you grab the
whip and crack me a few times with it.
Then, too, you never consult my
wishes as regards whom I work with.
You hook me up with a mule that
cracks me on the shins whenever he
gets a chance, or with that old maid
Mag that keeps bitin' me on the neck
whenever things don't go to suit her.
Then, if I lose patience and sail into
them, you yell at me and pour the bud
into me.
And, after all, what do l get out of
it2 Nothing but my board. even
have to clothe myself. That's why
say I think I've got kick coming.
Think it over. So long!"

NATIONAL MONUMENT OF CAVES
The Wonderful Marble Halls in Josephine
County, Oregon, SiskiyOu Ma
tionaI Forest

The president has signed a procla-
nation making a national monument
of the Oregon caves, or Marble Halls,
of Josephine county, in southern Ore
gon. These natural wonders are To-
Gated in the Siskiyou National Forest,
about thirty miles south of Grants
pass, in Cave mountain.
The caves are in marble and other
limestones, and consist of innumerable
caverns, corridors and passage ways of
various sizes, all of them decorated be-
yond description in crystallized car
Donates. They have been explored to
a distance of two miles or more, the
lowest part of them being at a depth
of about 1000 feet below the summit
of Cave mountain, the highest being
some 700 or 800 feet above it. There
are many passage ways and rooms that
have never been opened, and with
these distant and UNEMPLOYED openings
the magnitude of the Oregon caves is
practically unknown.
These natural wonders were discov-
cred in 1874 by Eliza Davidson, while
bear hunting, and the greater part OF
the exploration work was done by F.
M. Nickerson, of Kerby, Ore, in 1877,
when four floors Of levels were opened.
Many of the old ladders used at that
time are still in use.
Cave mountain, the peak which con-
tains these caves, rises to an elevation
OF about E, 1000 feet, and is of limestone
formation. The main openings around
which the national monument has been
created are at an elevation of 1000
feet; but the entire mountain side for
five or six miles shows caverns OF vari-
Gus sizes, and in all probability it is
honeycombed throughout its interior
like the portion which has been ex-
plored.
Many small streams are found at diff
ferent elevations, and larger bodies OF
running water can be heard in bottom
less pits, so far as measured. This
running water probably accounts for
currents of wind that in some OF the
galleries blow so hard as to at once
extinguish an open light.
The lime deposits take many beauti-
full forms; massive pillars, delicate
stalactites of alabaster whiteness, with
the crystal drop of water carrying its
minute deposit of lime from which
they are formed, and broad sheets re-
sembling drapery with graceful curves
and waves that were certainly made
| by varying currents OF WIND during their
formation.
In past years visitors have broken off
and carried away many OF the most
valuable specimens, and this destruc-
ton, as we'll as to retain these natural
wonders as public property, induced
the recommendation to place them in
national monument.
The forest service has rebuilt and
improved the trails leading to the caves
from each side Of the divide, in order
to more easily protect the valuable
forest surrounding and to make the
caves more accessible to tourists.

the city council, has been induced to
announce his candidacy for the post
mastership of Wenatchee. He has

the business men, and their recon-

and supplemented by the Republican
leaders, not only OF the city, but of the
county as well.

Over-PrOductiOn of Apples

For every acre of apple orchard
planted in the West, ten acres are
abandoned in the East. In spite of
the great strides being made in horti-
culture, the San Jose scale, codling
moth, blight, woody aphis, etc., render
the Eastern farmers absolutely unable
to compete with the Western fruit
growers.

duced in the United States from 1896

NO STRINGS TIED TO PRIZES
Competitions Are Arranged on Merit Alone
Regardless of Districts

There will be no strings on prizes
at the National Apple Show this year.
Some criticism was offered last
season because few OF the prizes
were bound by such restrictions that
only certain districts could compete.
Exhibitors made no complaint on this
score, except where such prizes were
in the commercial classes, and as the
commercial apple is the one big feature
of the National Apple Show, it has
been decided this year to allow no
restrictions OF such nature that these
prizes would 60 to any certain district.
In other words, competition is to be
open to the world in all commercial
classes. The show is not designed to
favor irrigated or non-irrigated sections;
not to boost for the state of Washing
ton, state of Idaho, or any other state,
nor to favor one locality against another
simply because one section may have
exceptional opportunities for raising
special classes of fruit.
There will also be no awarding Of
prizes by popular vote. Every contest
shall be on merit alone, as it is obvious
that friends of a certain display can
easily secure votes for that display and
it is unfair to allow any one but the
judges to decide prize award. Dates,
IS to 90, 1909.

lSUo, Zo,UOO,OOO
The figures are from the Medford
Tribune, and may be verified by the
bulletins from the department of agri-
culture.
These statistics will bear a great deal
of thought by the apple growers. We
are forever hearing that the East is
going out Of the fruit raising business,
and some figures on that subject are
good to have on hand, as we some
times hear old cattle ranchers say that
our apples will never find market.
We do not think the East will ever
give up eating apples when it can no
longer raise them; and the West may
have that market as well as its own
and all Europe. The East alone will
be enough to consume all we can
raise. Selected.
