One way is for the hool to take into account these habits can come from real home making. What one does depends as much upon habit as knowledge. The criticism that is most often made upon industrial work at school is that it so different from the work done at home that it does not home i put tho child into that sympathe- LAKB COUNTV WOKKINd ROADS During tho visit of tho Hill party in Lakeview the importance good roads was not only pre sented to the public by Mr. Hill, but ho and Mr. Hanloy urged tho County Court to improve tho roads leading into Harney and Crook counties so that no trouble would bo experienced by autoists and others in touring Central Oregon. To that end two crows aro now employed in putting the innin.thoruuKlifnr.c.'U.of Jaka County in good shape and tho work will soon bo completed, One crew is at last at work on the road leading from Plush to Bluejointand on to the "Double 0" ranch.

In my opinion it will be a great thing for the child to want to help his parents do the task that needs to be done and to want to do it in the best possible way. The reason that so many country boys aro now the leading men of affairs is because early in life they had tho responsibility of home thrust upon them. I am sure that the motto "Everybody j Helps," is a good one. But one says, How can it be brought about? How can the school give credit for industrial work done at home?" This may be accomplished by printed slips asking the homes to take account of the work that the child does ideal fattening at home under the instruction of At the Oregon the home, and explaining that credit will be given this work on the school record. These slips must be prepared for children ac cording to age so that the child will not bo asked to do too much, for it must be clearly recognized How to (let Itcst Price for drain Would eastern Oregon farmers like to obtain $1.53 for their wheat this summer? Then feed it to hogs. It is estimated by Dr. James Withycombe that such a course would bring famers $1,511 per bushel for wheat and $1.28 per bushel for barley, "Oregon is pre-eminently a hog country," says Dr. Withy combe in a recent letter. "No section can excell this state for quality or production when prop erly finished on homo grown feed. Barley or wheat are the feeds for hogs. Experiment Sta tion in feeding experiment con ducted for the past ten years, the average amount of wheat or barley required to produce one pound gain was four and one half pounds, It was also ascer tained that it cost approximately more, however. President Me Cutchcon further declared for the present no actual con struction work would bo taken up on a continuanance of the two branches of the Gilmore & Pitta, burg out of Salmon City- one to Lowiston and the other to Boise. Ilailroad men hero see in the developments in connection with the Gilmore & Pitsburg the ful fillment of a plan which will make it possible for the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound, the Chicago & Northwestern and the Burlington to co-operate in traffic arrangement by which the Bur lington system can be completed and both the Northwestern and Burlington secure a line to tide water, with terminals either at Portland or farther south on the Pacific Coast. tion two Trunk nnd the Dechutes Hail road and tho building of these roads is of course the prime achievement of tho year in trans portation.

This year the cost of contracts for new railway lines and betterments in this slato will aggregate about $30, 000,000.

Narkus re turned Monday irom a mining oxctision into tho new Trout Creek mining section. This un developed mining district is nbout 20 miles northeast of Burns and was discovered l(i years ago when placer diggings, not extensive butc xlensivelv rich, were opened ill). Work in these placers un covered a number of rich Bmnll stringers nnd ono largo fissure of unusually high values. Tho vein is 5 fccb.widu.at, a depth of 50j feet nnd carries lead, silver nnd gold in a pure quartz. In the quartz is a 12 to 18 inch stringer free from silica and carrying only concentrates of the three metals nnmed. It seems an im- mence nnd ideal smelling pro position. This claim is owned by R S. Slater, O. J. Darst and Al Sollin ger and is opened to a depth of 55 feet by a vertical shaft. Only prohibitive transportation charges have keep this property from the list of producers. Another promising prospect is an immcmn3e dyke of diorite, thinks Mr. Heeso with phonolitic quality, carrying free gold and wonderfully high concentrates. A most remarkable feature of this rock is its multitude of physical cleavages which extends criss-cross through the entire rock body, 50 feet in width. In each of these unnatural seams, and no where else cither in or on the rock, is found nil the values, both base and free. According to Mr. Reese, who is considered to be by nil odds the best informed mining man as to local condition in this com munity, tho whole Trout Creek district is of extraordinary 'in terest from a geological and min ing standpoint. A large porphyry dyke with good grade concentrates is in tho district adjoining the other properties. I Ins has been open ed to but a few feet, yet shows sulphides of such richness, as to warrant the belief that they will stand shipping even under pre sent unfavorable conditions. Such is true of the diorite con centrates beyond all doubt. Prairie City Miner.
