ot agriculture and the mechanic arts, es
tablished under the provisions or the land
grant act approved July 2. 1862. Or tho
remaining sum arising rrom the sales of
the public lands the present hill proposes
to appropriate $JSO.O00 the first ear, with
an Increase or $45,000 per annum for a
period of 10 years, after which time the
fixed annual appropriation will amount to
$960,000.
"This proposed action ls In fact merely
supplementary to the line ot Congression
al legislation respecting the use or the
public lands ror educational purposes for
the last 40 years. It ls in no sense legisla
tion for a particular class. It looks toward
the development of resources which affect
our National well-being and the better
ment ot the entire population.
"By an act approved July 2. 1S62, Con
gress offered to donate to each state 20,000
acres of the public lands for each Sena
tor and Representative In Congress to
which It was then entitled. The prin
cipal conditions of the act were (1) that
the States accepting the same should agree
to lnves' the proceeds of the sale of tho
lands In uch. a manner as to produce an
Income of not less than 5 per cent per
annum; (2) that no portion of the principal
sum derived rrom tne sale of lands or of
the Income therefrom should be aootled
directly or Indirectly, under any pretense
whatever, to the purchase, erection, prcs-
Iervatlon, or repair of any building or
buildings; (3) that any state which should
take and claim the benefits of that act

far beyond their resource;. Even In cases
where it has been poos.bIe to provide In
struction in many of the "branches of
knowledge related to mining, it has not
been possible to provide the apparatus and
equipment necessary for research nnd ex
periment, and there Ls every reason to be
lieve that the same methods which have :n
recent years produced so fruitful results
In the field of agricultural experiment and
Investigation will be found equally pro
ductive when applied to the development i
'of our untold mineral wealth.
'The amount of the appropriation under
this bill to 4S state? and territories for
the first year ls $450,000, and will amount 1
at the end of 10 jear3 to $360,000 per an
num. If this expenditure should re
sult In an increase of only 1-10 of
1 per cent of our present annual mineral

partly for the purpose ot giving to the

AT THE WOMAN'S CLUB.
Dr. Mae II. Cardvrell, Leader of the
Home Department, Entertains.
Last Friday being the regular semi
monthly meeting of the Woman's Club,
Dr. Mae II. Cardwell entertained a large
and appreciative audience with a well
delivered paper upon "Duties of the
Homcmaker," which was In part as fol
lows: "A few women realize that when home
making Is given Its rightful place aa a
ccience, brain power shall have overcome
physlcal weakness, and Instead of being !
always behind, yet clinging to man. wom
an will stand at his side, and In power
and companionship they shall be equal.
The most acute dlscemers of the needs
or the times are college graduates wom
en whose education fits them to fill posi

rather, have applied their scientific train
ing to the betterment, primarily, of the
physical conditions of their fellow-creatures,

such a widespread philanthropy. Men
realize that locating the north pole, and
the added knowledge it would bring to

that Is the difference. Women are al-
