IS A SPLENDID SHOWING
Low Cost Per Pupil at the Columbus
College.

According to a report made by
President H. L. Whitfield, of the
Industrial Institute and College;
the average cost per session for
students at that institution is
only 1913. 80, not including the
music course.
This, is believed, is the lowest
per capita cost of any education
al institution in the south for
girls where similar advantages
IRE offered. The figure includes
board, laundry, hospital atten-
ton, books, lyceum lecture
course and all incidentals.
During the recent session
more than 800 girls we're enroll
ed at the number, and the num-
Der could have been easily in
creased to 1900, but many ap-
plications were rejected on &C
count of the lack of dormitory
room. Contract is to be awarded
for a new building when the gen.
eral board of trustees meets in
Jackson on July LIST, but it is not
expected that the structure can
be completed in time for the
opening of the next term

SARATOGA Is TAKING
on OLD TIME AIRS

New York.-With many noted turf
men and famous horses already upon
the ground and some prospect for a
longer meeting than usual, the old
Saratoga, y. Y. racetrack is taking a
new lease on life. Racing and its at
tributes of chance made Saratoga ia
nous, and Saratoga will always have
a kindly feeling toward racing and
racemen no matter to what extent the
sport is cramped by lawmakers.
Racing at Saratoga was conducted
last year upon high plane. The law
against open betting was enforced,
but there was no persecution by the
officials such as has been the case in
lower parts of the state AS a result
the attendance was good and the old
timers were able to bet orally to their
hearts content.
The same conditions will prevail at
the track this year, for the anti-oral
betting bill will not go into effect un-
til September l and the Saratoga
meeting will be over by that time.
1t is estimated that nearly 1900
horses will be stabbed at Saratoga by
time for the season to open. The

CHICKENS AND APPLES.
Dreen Plans to Have Poultry Live
off Pests of the Orchard

Walla Walla. Wash.-The combina-
ton of the orchard and chicken in
dustry is the later hybrid that has
been sprung in the Walla Walla val
ley. ]. D. Green, who was here last
week looking for a location, probably
will be the first to engage in this
double farm life.
Chickens will almost live from the
pests that bother the fruit, is his
claim, and helped along by the wind
falls, will require little if any feeding.
They will not damage the trees in
any way, and the added income will
amount to a sum we'll worthy of con-
sideratiOn. He claims that there will
be little trouble from insect pests If
plenty of chickens are kept loose am
ong the trees. More than this, he
says, the fertilizer thus secured is not
to be despised
The chicken industry in this valley,
he finds upon investigation. is one
that has been much neglected.: and
he thinks that the hens will add to
the. revenue of the orchard to an ex-
tent that win mean a great deal.
Chickens and eggs are shipped in here
in large quantities every year, and
there is always a market at good
prices.

WALK INTO RATrLERS' DEN:
ESCAPE BY WELDING CLUBS

Edmons, Wash-While hiking la
boriously along between Monroe and
Snohomish last Sunday George Lutes
and Glare Marsh, the Spokane Y. NJ.
c. A. pedestrians, walked innocently
into the midst of a writhing bed of
long, oily, dark-colored snakes
Speaking of the encounter and tell
ing how he and his partner got away
from the veritable settlement of pois-
onous reptiles, Lutes said:
1--WE We're warned before we start
ed to beware of rattlesnakes. but
throughout all of the Journey until
we passed Monroe we did not see one
live snake.
"The distance between Monroe and
Snohomish is only seven miles, but it
took us three hours to walk it, AS it
was in the morning the grass was
damp and as the roadbed was old tall
grass and shrubbery had massed close
to the right hf way.
1--WE had hardly walked 10 minutes
out of Monroe when we saw one long.
dark-colored. whip-looking thing that
| knew was a snake. I threw n stone
at it and another snake equally as
large bobbed up. We Immediately
picked up clubs and began war. By
this time snakes had suddenly taken
up a stand behind us and We knew
retreat was a reckless venture I
killed the first one Glare got the
second and between us we made way
with half a dozen.
During the next 80 minutes we
must have seen 100 snakes in that vi
cvinity. l accidentally stepped square,
ly on one, but knocked its head off
with my club before it did any dam
age"
The young pedestrians camped sun
day night at Edmons, II miles out of
Seattle. They were complaining of
sore feet, but figured on taking the fl
nal lap of their journey as easily as
possible. and then for the big rest. re-
turning to Spokane.

TRIES SUICIDE : TIMES.
Sailor at Last Fats Cotton Wool.
Drinks Water and Suffocates.

Pars-After no fewer than six
unsuccessful attempts to kill himself
a sailor named Leon Weiss has finally
committed suicide in an original fash
ION. \ month ago he rnrew himself
into a canal at Rheims, but was res
cued. A few days later he hanged
himself by his braces on n tree in n
public square. but his braces broke.
He did not despair, however. and,
drawing a revolver. shot himself twice.
He was taken to the hospital where
he was cured Of his wounds.
A few days afterward. at Iaon rail-
wav station, he shot himself just as
a train was coming In. hoping to fall
beneath the wheels, but again his life
was saved and he was taken to the
hospital He managed to tear off his
/ handages and swallowed them. Then
! he obtained some water and drank It,
and this with the cotton wool he had
swallowed, suffocated him Thus his
seventh attempt was successful.

ROSEBURG DECLINES
To BUILD RAILROAD

Roseburg, Or.-The latest of the in
Vulnerable projects to link Roseburg
and Coos Bay with a railroad was
heralded to the Roseburg public Sat
urday by the Coos Bay Traction COM
pany, recently incorporated with an
authorized capital of 100000 The
company solicits subscriptions from
this city and Marshfield to $500, 900
worth of debenture bonds, giving the
assurance that when such flotaton is
completed S4,000,000 worth of bonds
with which to finance the construc-
ton of the road will be taken by the
Masonic Trust & Savings bank of San
Francisco.
This is to be an electric line-pos-
sibly. The promoters deny any con-
nection with the Southern Pacific or
any other road operating in Oregon.
Their proposed route touches Myrtle
Point and Bandon, and from Marsh
field they have clear right-of-way
to North Bend, with terminal sites in
both cities, obtained from L. D. Kin
ney, a well-known promoter of that
region. They agree, if Roseburg and
Marshfield first subscribe to 900
in bonds, to have the line completed
and in operation between these two
points inside of 20 months.
With skepticism born of fruitless
ventures of this nature for the past
20 years or more. Eoseburg does not
take this latest scheme seriously.
Four years ago citizens Of Marshfield
agreed to meet Roseburg half way on
a bond subscription of $250000 with
which to build an electric line be-
tween the two cities. Roseburg rails
ed her S125,OO0 in As hours; Marsh
field failed TO raise more than one
fourth of that amount, and since
then Roseburg has been firm in the
belief that the lOng-deslred railroad
will never be built if the proposed
terminals are expected to furnish the
capital, or even part of it.
Hopes Of a steam railroad between
here and Coos Bay were pinned on
the project engineered by F. A.
Haines. who completed the survey
three months ago. These hopes were
strengthened when the Chicago &
! Northwestern railroad took an option
on land for terminal site in this
city But this option expired this
week Now Roseburg is wondering If
it will be renewed preliminary to
greater things to come or allowed 10
remain Inferred in the graveyard OF
ventures that have gone before it.

the water had subsided in the base

again running the water returns. it
is likely that the ditch companies will
