A SPLENDID MOVE

The best thing that has been
done by the Colorado Agricultural
College in years is the establish
ment of IA school o. agriculture and
home economics in connection with
the Institution. which will be avail
able to the boys and girls after they
finish the eighth grade of the com
mon school. announcements con-
cerning the course, which have
reached us. show that it is emf
nently practical. 1t meets every
requirement to fit the boys in max
ing more money from the farm and
becoming good citizens, or. as APP
piled to the girls. in turning out
skilled housekeepers and home
makers.

TO SHOW APPRECIATION

Mill When Completed-Will Take
Ten Cents From Each Individual to
Raise Fund.

A. C. Koeppen is now fathering a
plan for the presentation of suitable
present to Herbert o. Roesch, cham
pion rifle shot of the world, and his
plan is one that will also advertise a
very important industry Of this city.
1t is Mr.. Koeppen's plan to have the
business men of the city contribute to
a fund to purchase for RoescA the first
blanket that will be turned out from
the new wooden mill when it gets In
operation this fall.
Like other local people, Mr.. Keep
pen is proud of the great showing
made by Roesch at Camp Perry and
fourthermore he believes that Roesch's
townsmen should show proper ap-
probation of the honor won by the
midshipman and incidentally by PEN
dleton.
AS the wooden mill will now soon be
in operation it is held that it would
be very fitting to give Roesch the first
blanket to be turned out by the new
looms. 1t is Mr.. Koeppen's plan to
take but 10 cents from each man so
that as large a number as possible
will be represented in the gift.

Lost $50 Greenbacks.

One of Pendleton's prominent citi-
zens was so unfortunate yesterday as
to lose two twenty dollar bills on the
streets. He thought he had placed
them in his watch pocket, but instead
had stuck them down the waistband
of his trousers with the consequence
that they trickled down his leg to
the street. Anyone finding the straying
greenbacks will confer great favor
upon the mourning master by return
ing them to the E. o. office.

Skylarks,

John Burroughs relates that mum.
Der Of years ago a friend in England
sent him score of skylarks in a cage.
He gave them their liberty in a field
near where he lived. They drifted
away, and he never heard or saw them
again. But one Sunday a Scotchman
from a neighboring city called on him
and declared. with visible excitement.
that on his way along the road he had
heard skylark. He was not dream
ing; he knew it was a skylark, though
he had not heard one since he had left
the banks of the Doom a quarter Of
century or more before. The song had
given him infinitely more pleasure
than 1t would have given to the natu-
ralist himself Many years ago some
skylarks were liberated on Long Is
land, and they became established
there and may now occasionally be
heard in certain localities. One sum-
mer day lover Of birds journeyed
out from the city in order to observe
them. A lark was soaring and singing
in the sky above him. An old Irish
man came along and suddenly stopped,
as if transfixed to the spot A look of
mingled delight and incredulity came
into his face. Was he indeed hearing
the bird Of his youth? he took of his
hat and turned his face skyward and,
with moving lips and streaming eyes.
