The increase in transcontinental travel by way of Salt Lake City in con sequence of the scenic and other attrac tions of the route, has recently justified the Rio Grande Western Railway in connection with the Denver Rio Grande and Colorado Midland Rxll -oads says the Salt Lake Tribune, in estab Ushirt,' a triple daily last passeuirer service between Ogden and Denver. All of these trains are equipped with the late-t appliances, improvements and cars. This road now operates through deeper! between Chicauo, Ogden and San Francisco, also a perfect dining car service.

The American members of the intw national commission appointed to sur vey and mark out the Alaska bouudary linastLynu canal, under tha modm Vivendi, arrived in Seattle from Wash inttton. and wil proceed to Victoria, where they will meet the two British members ot tha commission. The Americau menrabers are C. II. Tilman, assistant superintendent o( the United States coast and geological sutvey, and his assistant, O. B. French. They are gathering statistic and information here concerning the matter they have in hand. Mr. Tiilman said it would requite probably two months to com plete the survey. The line will be marked with the usual motmmeuts, stakes, etc. On Chllkoot and White passes, nionnmentsof a permanent char acter will be set up, so that there may be no possible dispute at these points as to the exact location of the line. "Wa are simply to ascertain the lo cation and mark out for the guidance of all persons the line established by the modus vivendi between England and the United States," said Mr. Til man. "This line waa agreed to in Oc tober, 1899, after several months of ne gotiation. It ia by no means a per manent or e8tabli8hed boundary line beyond the terms and life ol the modus vivendi. Our work will be necesstrily technical and not diplomatic, although we are operating under the direction, in this instance of the department of state, at Washington. The distance to be surveyed is about '.'5 miles." Mr. Tilman expects to begin active work in the Geld about June 15. He and Mr. French will meet tho Cana dian commissioners at Victoria. They are Y. F. King and J. L. McArthur. A paity of about 12 men will be taken along to assist in the field work. The expenses of the survey are to be shared equally by the two countries. North t Notes. State Senator Charles W. Fulton, of Astoria, Or., has accepted the invita tion extended to bim to deliver the Fourth of July oration in Pendleton. The warehouses at The Dalles, have already received about 1,500,000 pounds of wool, and it is pouring in rapidly from all points ol the compass. The good road from Sumpter to Gran ite will be constructed under the direc tion of E. J. Godfrey. It will coet $ 5,000 or 6,000 and will be a credit to that section. Tbe $1,000 bond ironed by the Ham ilton school district, Orant County, Or., commanded a premium of $ 13. The bond bears 6 per cent interest and is payable in 20 years. William E. McClure, formerly of Eugene, and a University of Oregon alumnus, will be graduated this year from tbe department of law, Columbia university, Washington, D. C. What are the Oregon boys coming to? aska the Albany Democrat. John O. Hammond, a Europe young man, is do ing the' villain in a "Sapho" company doing the 3ew England states. J. T. Rorick last week cut a field of rye on the old Frank Taylor place across the river from The Dalles, Or., that averaged in height six feet and eight inches. Mr. Rorick says it beat any rye crop be ever saw. A new tube boiler has been sent down to Seaside, Or., to replace the large one now being used by the saw mill there. A 7,000 gallon water tank is being erected by the company near the box factory, and will afford ample protec tion in case of fire. Day Bros, have commenced work on their saw mill at Cascade Locks, and, when completed, it will saw 60,000 feet a day. They will get their logs on the other side of tbe rivei, one log ging cttmp being near Stevenson, and another will be put in at Wind river. The prospect of a large crop of mel ons in Yakima county, Wash., is not as bright as might be desired. The seeds having rotted, necessitates re planting, and the cool spell has not helped to develop a healthy growth; it is predicted tbe corp will be short and prices high. The experiments that have been car ried on by the O. II. & X. with brome grass and on the arid lands in tbe vi cinity of Telosaste, south of Union, Or., nave shown that the new grans will grow luxuriantly on the dry and al most barren bills. A considerable quantity of seed will be sown this year. The steamer Signal was chartered by tbe Pioneer Western Timber Company for Cape Nome, and the vessel left South Bend for that point, J- JD. Dyer is manager of the enterprise. It is proposed to start s lumber yard at Nome and supply it from South Bend or Knappton. A part of tbe cargo con sisted of 400,000 feet of lumber for buildings and since boxes. Fire broke out in the dry kiln of the Addison mill plant at Tacoma last week. The firemen confined the fire to tha building in which it originated, but as that building contained the ma chinery, tbe mill will have to shut down for repairs. The loss is $15,000, while the insurance is but $4,600, leav ing net loss of $10,600, The com pany will rebuild at once. H. J. Snively, J. H. Visslers and J. M. Baxter, have leased 1,200 acres of land on Toppenish creek, eight miles from Toppenish station, in Yakima county, Wash., and have seeded 400 acres to wheat, 90 to millet, 10 to field peas, 800 to barley and 860 to oats. It ia their intention later on to engage in dairying and stockraising and most of the land will be devoted to timothy. They have contracts with the Indian owners of the land for a 10 years' lease, and believe tbe contracts are binding. Jack Salisbury and A. B. Chapman brought into Pendleton recently, 1,600 wethers which were sold to Howard, a buyer from St. Paul. The sheep were shipped via the W. C. H. and North ern Pacific roads, and will be taken to tha Montana ranges for the summer and then shipped on Kaxt in the fall. Mr, Salisbury stated that they received for tbe lot $2.05 apiece, which is re garded as t very good figure. Queen Wilhelmins, of Holland, has mlnatnre farm, the products of which go to assist in rellfin tha rwr. TRADE IS QUIETER, Quotations VTaahsnad la lavaral l.lnea of Hnstnvas. r.radHtrevt's says: Trade Is, If any .iiiiig, ouleter nl prices ra lower than week while effort toward a re adjustment of productive capacity to preeeut coiitlmooa, are noiea in several lines of industry, notably iron and steel mid lumber. Unsettled conditiou ia the cotton trade, and a larye failure, duo mainly to overstating the btjll tide M the staple, has tended to weaken quotations in several lines of speculative business. Backward crop reports ami tbe backward demand for cotton goods ro ol course partly responsible for tha sharp break, but statistically the staple remains very stronv. Advices from the dry foods trade ara it backward demand at retail, affecting irdcra in many lines, but cotton goods production is still heavy. Tbe boot and shoe market ia dull with manufacturers firm but with job bers asking for loner prices. Lumber is on tha whola weaker, partly owing to th unsettled conditions in the building trade and partly to tha fevling that prices have been pushed too high, and this feeling ia likewise true of a number of other unea. Almost alone among iron and steel products, structural material ia firm and much is hoped for in the direction of new business. The weakness in cast iron pipe, is inducing soma curtailment of production, notably at th South. Wheat, including tlonr, shipments for the week aggregate S,6'J8,t)$ bushels, against 6,1) 8,422 bushels last week.

Shaw's Advice to tha CoU Oiad- wataM If You Want tha Position Toa Must Da tha Work Batter than tha Vtutducatad Mast Ahead of Yett, "When you go out from school," said Qov. Leslie M. Shaw, of Iowa, In a re cent addreas to the atudeuta of North western University at Evaustoti, lib, "you will Bud 'tho other fellow. as Sam lone says. U ha not bceu to college, but bo la occupying the place which you want, and ha la four year abean) of you. lie will stay there, too, unlesa the training you get iu college butter pre pare you for ht place." Thla I a plain aiateuieut of an Indis putable fact aud one which college stu lieuta should commit to memory, A mere college training will not enable uy one of them to get "the other fei low's" Job unless tbe tmluiug the grad uata baa secured la of the practical kind, which make him bcttar tit ted for the place than the man without a col lege education, who holds It. He will not bo able to secure the place on hla diploma, on hla standing In hla class, ou hla fraternity affiliations, on his good looks, hla good clothes, or even bis good recommendations, and If by chance he hall obtain a position on the strength of these be will not be able to hold It If be doe not possess in an equal degree the merit which euablod tho other fel low to make hi way without auy of these advantages. Everything else being equal, the young man who Is fortunate enough to rnter upon a career lu these days with t college education has an advantage o vet, the other fellow, but be cannot afford to rest or play upon that advant age for a moment. If he depended upon It to carry him through, the other fellow will pas him In the race. "If a person can do one thing and do It well he will be worth something" aald Gov. Shaw. "It make no difference what you do, a long a you do It better than it ha ever been done before. There I ao visible opening Id any Una you might select On tbe other band, there la a splendid opening If you can try a case better thao any other attorney.- There re many attorneys, but not so many Sawyer; many pedagogue, but few teacher; many medical men, but few Joctor. One-fourth of the lawyer lu Chicago can try a case no bettor now than when they began,, and all through Wisconsin there ara women who can ok no better than they could tbe day &ey were married, and they are told so Shree time a day. The world la ready to pay ny price for excellence. The Jlfflculty with the average man and the rest of them Is that tbey do not pay enough attention to detail. No matter what profession you master, you must tlso master detail." All thla la true. It Is so demonstra bly and palpably true that recognition of It truth haa revolutionized tbe sys tem of higher education In this country within the past twenty-five year. It wa In response to the demand that the ;ollege should turn out graduates with tome fixed purpose In mind, with some special training, with something like tn equipment that would enable them to compete with the other fellow, and, if possible, excel him, that Harvard, Tale, Princeton, William, Cornell, and ur Western universities adopted whol ly or In part the principle which ob tained exclusively tn purely technologi cal Institution only a few year ago. Tbe danger for a time wa that the reaction In favor of the practical brancbe of education a against tbe cultural might go too far, and It I to the credit of the faculties of the Massa chusetts Institute of Technology In Boston and Armour Institute of Tech nology In Chicago that the danger was avoided. As the purely cultural col lege have exhibited a tendency to be come more practical, the purely tech nical institutions have exhibited even l stronger tendency to become more :ultural, to that the latter are equip ping their students to-day, not only for Uie Inevitable band-to-band encounter with tbe other fellows, but for the Slgber place In life for which their :ol!ege training qualifies them. Tbe college tudent of our time. It a cheerful to know, are having the doc- a-lne enunciated by Gov. Shaw ground nto them on nil aide. They are made to realize now that they cannot atep out of a university Into a big legal or medical practice; Into a dally newspa per editorial chair, Into the presidency r a Dank, or to the forefront In any walk of life, Just because they gradu ate with honor. They are being taught now that, while education give them a tremendous advantage, nothing hort of actual contact with the sharp cor ner and actual experience In the hurly-burly of life will finally enable them to compete with tbe other fellow. He 1 not only four year ahead of tbem he may be twenty he often la In poli tical knowledge, and he will always re main about that far In advance of the man who think he ba nothing more to learn when be bid good -by to hi alma mater. Chicago Inter Ocean. An Arizona Bill of Fare. I wa at a restaurant out In Arizona jnce," said a salesman for a well- nown revolver corporation, "and was looking over tbe bill of fare. It gave a better description of some feature of the country than a whole volume. For 10 cent you could get some delicious lamb chop and fried potatoes. But bread and butter were extra, while a dish of milk toast waa IS cents. You ee that meant that they raise cattle out there for their meat and not for dairy purpose. Milch cow are scarce and dear. But the Chinese broil beaf tcak by frying It and then, making the mark of tbe griddle with a red hot poker.' The Maria. It Is In Sicily that both poverty aud crime have reached their most porten tous development Here, again, we find diverse strains of blood, language and tradition, and- an unfortunate historic development We cannot, Indeed, ex plain tbe social fact of Sicily In our time without reference to tbe past Centuries of turbulence and mlagovern went produced a condition of affairs In which every tuan't hand ws against yvery other man's, and in which, the Vtea of just and Impartial law becoui lag weak, the Inevitable alternative of the rude Justice of revenge became widespread. In our dsy, wltb the pos sible exception of souis of the outlying districts of European Russia, Sicily I the poorest part of Europe. The wage earned la the sulphur mine and tb horrible condition of the people em ployed therein have been so complete ly exposed that It I not necessary to dwelt thereon. SulhY It to ay that with tbe factor of wretched poverty and a long historical training lu crime, superadded to a quick-blooded, violent people, we may understand the growth and pwwer lu Hlclly of that mttrtlerou society, the Mil fin, which the Italian government la uow attacking In ear nest at Messlua. Tbe Mafia Is to all lu tents aud purpose a murderous orga-i- laatton, which sticks at nothing to se cure It end. But formally, and on one aide, It la a kind of mutual benefit society. It member are bound to pro tect and benefit one another under giv en conditions, or pay tin dread peuulty for failure or neglect. HicctiiUr. Henry Fielding wa once aske I by l.onl iK'iiblgh why he wrote hla nnme Kidding" instead of "Fvildiug." a hi lordship' family used. "1 can nut tell, my loid," replied the novelist, "ex cept It be that my branch of the fam ily were tbe first that knew bow to spell." Sir Hubert Peel wa once roln through a picture collet-linn w.u a friend where there was a portrait of a prominent Englishman who waa fa mous for saying sharp things. "Uow wuuilei fully like!" said tbe friend; you can see the quiver on hla Dps." Yea," replied Sir Hubert "and tbe ar row coming out of it." Tbey are telling a story In Chicago about an advance agent for tbe Thomas Orchestra who recently went to New Orleans to book date for concert. lie was told that It would be well fur blni first to talk the matter over with a wealthy woman who I a lender lu tbe musical circle of the city. So he called at her residence, and a ring brought out an old negro, who took the caller's card, on which printed the legend. "Keprewentlng the Thoma Orchetra." Presently a young woman came to the door holding the card In her baud. Ulie did not seem to understand tbe object of the call. The agent ai tempt. d to explain, but was cut short by the young woman, who said: "I don't think we want any music to-day." The president of a manufacturing firm In Chicago has two h-ttere from a man In Michigan. The first set forth that the writer had settled upon a piece of land that had "rite smart pin tint bur ou It;" that hi neighbor, with tbe exception of "sura french Canuck it the nort end of the lak," hud also "r.tu smart' of timber, and would ball the advent of a "soruilt" with delight "How mutch woud a smol sorml! cost? N. B. if a Frenchman name Ike 1-auior-to rite you to ask about this heae no gud and a ded beat of the first water." The firm wrote back to Inform their correspondent that a sawmill uch as he seemed to want would cost sbiul three hundred dollar. A catalogue was luclused, which would give tilui an Idea of the plant, and tho firm hoped to bo favored wltb hi order. The firm bad no idea that It letter would give seri ous offense. Tbere wa no doubt bow ever, that tbe Michigan man wa quit annoyed. He wrote: "You must take me for a fool. If I bad three hun dred dollar what In wud I want a sortull for? Many year ago, when President Kruger wa In England, be was ap proached concerning some concession, railway or otherwise, liy a buslne man In London. Tbe negotiations last ed for some time. One evening the Londoner, wbo waff staying at tbe same hotel, having spent many hours with Mr. Kruger and bl companion, went to bed much exhausted, aud feel- Ins he bad not got quite all he wanted. Next morning be arose at nine o'clock. and went along the corridor to Mr. KruBer" bedroom. To hi aston'ch- ment It was empty, and all the luggag wa gone. "Oh, sir," said the cham bermaid, "Mr. Kruger and hla friend left at six tbls morning." Then, wltb a giggle of amused reminiscence, the girl added: "Tbey wa a queer couple, sir, and nu mistake. When 'e passed your door, lr, Mr. Kruger, e started dancln' right outside your door, lr, ' and bis friend. Tbey didn't know as any one saw them, sir, but Bessie and I see tbem, unbeknown, from the top of the stairs. Then tbey went downstairs, sir, fairly spllttln' their aide with latighlu', though tbey didn't say a word." During an advance In Manila recent ly, say the Chicago Tribune, one com pany bad to lie down at tbe Hide of tbe road for shelter from tbe well-directed volleys of the Insurgent. One of the private had dropped hi haversack lu the middle of the road away back, and, after the company bad laid down, ho calmly stood up nnd walked down the road toward the lost haversack. He made a fine target for the Insurgents, and the bullet rattled around him pretty lively. "Here, come back here, O'Mnlley," yelled the lieutenant of tho company; "you'll be killed." "Well," replied O'SIolley over hi abotilder, "I might Jest a well be killed a have Gen.
