RQ Acres BlacK Land
Situated about 6 miles South
of Trenton, near DHba and No-
bility, 70 acres in cultivation,,
producing the ordinary staple
crops, 4 acres in alfalfa. This
place has a new 3-rootn house,
fair Barn and plenty of ever-,
lasting water, and is well worth
the price asked—$75 per acre,
with one-third cash and balance
on terms to suit. Would consider
small farm near Bonham or Ri-
Wenna, or house and lot in Bon-
ham at more than $1,500 or
$2:000. If vo’u want a chance at
this place, see me at once. First

FASTING LUXURIOUSLY.
Lent is now upon us, and Bishop
O’Gorman of Sioux Falls; discussing
Lent the other day, said:
“It’s the spirit rather than the
letter of our observation of Lent that
counts. I mean that one may sew
for the poor and at the sgme time
talk scandal; one may fast and at
the same time gormandize.
“Two plump and rosy gentlemen
were talking about Lent.
“‘Brook trout has gone up/ said
the first.
“‘Perigord truffles and Marenne^
oysters were never so dear before/
the second murmured.
“ ‘The price of snapper and dia-
mond back is prohibitive—positively
prohibitive.’’
“ ‘Wine and fresh vegetables,
whether from Florida or California,
are worth their weight in gold/
“The first gentleman sigher and
exclaimed:
“ ‘Alas, in these days of high
prices,.where is one to get the money
to fast!’”

The highest mountain in Oregon
is Mount Hood, 11,225 feet "above
sea- level. Compared with Mount
Whitney, to the the south in Cali-
fornia, and Mount Rainier, to the
north in Washington, each rising |
well above 14,000 feet, Mount Hood •
does not appear as a skyscraper.
However, according to the geolo-!
gists of the United States geological
survey and other authorities, Oregon
had at one time, panbably before the
dawn of life upon the earth, a great
Volcano which towered as far above
Mount Hood as does Mount Rainier,1
possibly even several thousand feet:

This was the great Mount Mana-
ma. But thousands of years ago
this mountain disappeared into the
bowels of the earth and all that is
left today is the huge rim around
Crater lake.
Crater lake is the caldera of this
extinct and collapsed volcano and is
nearly six miles in diameter. The
inside walls of the rim of the ancient
mountain are in places nearly 4.000
feet high and almost perpendicular.
The lake itself is in places 2,000 feet
deep and parts of the wall rise above
its waters another 2,000 feet.
A restoration of the mountain in
fancy, using as a* basis the angles
of the lower slopes, which still re-
main shows that the apex could not
have been far from 16,000 feet in
height, so that Mount Manama was
one -of the most lofty and majestic
in the United States.

LESSON IN VIRTU-E.

might meet and be properly intro-
duced to a few available mep. She riou« conferences today.
may not move under the so-cahed
“protections” of society. But she
has a right to her love affairs, and
she can be chaste and discreet and.
strong, in spite of all her disadvan-
tages. ,
Many a carefully nurtured child,
protected in her home, could learn
much for her safety and happiness
from the hundreds of store girls that!
fight so magnificently for their gooS
times, giving young men lessons in
courtesy and decency, maintaining
their ^good names under the most
trying conditions at times.—W. B.

THE REASON.
A laTge percentage ot the
1,500 delegates expected to be in
attendance at the assembly, had
arrived by noon today. Aside
from the pre-assembly confer-
ence, interest among the repre-
sentatives,/ of the Northern,
South and United Presbyterian
churches centered in the election
of moderators of the three organ-
izations, scheduled for tomorrow
morning. There was also much
discussion today among dele-
gates of all four churches regard-
ing.proposals of a union of these
organizations- It is said such a
plan will be presented. The first
joint meeting- will be held to-
morrow night. Thereafter a
similar union session will.occur
each evening, the being given
over to simultaneous meetings of
the separate assemblies.
