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.

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

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

TRADE IS QUIETER,
Quotations VTaahsnad la lavaral

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.

THE OTHER FELLOW.
Ht IS NOW HOLDINd THE JOB
YOU WANT.
Bot. 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.'

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

tents aud purpose a murderous orga-i-

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. Oils a-rtiunln' me up hill and
down dale and comln' over to me house
Ivery mornln' and a-snyln', 'O'MalJpy,
why don't you pay the government for
that haveysai k?' " Then be calmly
walked on and got the lost piece of
property, and a be came back and sat
down Just In time to escape a volley of
Mauser, be threw the haversack on
tbe ground and said; ."A.(8 when he
doe come to-morrow, room to me
bouse I'll say, 'Otis, ra little man,
you're dead wrong. I never lost no
haveysack. There's your bloody old
potato bag. Take It to the Government
with me compliment.' " '
It Isn't so much what a man think
a what be doe that counts.
