WEST IS ADVANCINQ.
President Bryan Comparaa 8choeli
With Those of Europe.
President E. A. Bryan, of the Wash
Ington Slate college, has returned from
his toir of the European capitals, and
at present Is preparing a series of lec
tures, the subjects of which be gathered
while abroad. President Bryan's trip
was something in the nature of an in
vestigation of modern education, both
technical and classical, as found in the
looet advanced and greatest educational
institutions of nations. Before leaving
America he visited several of America's
most famous institutions, and both in
England and on the continent called at
the world's best known centers of learn
ing. His conclusions were recently
Btated as follows:
"I believe tbe time is not remotely
distant when the educational institu
tions of the West, meaning the western
part of the United States, will be fully
as efficient, and as famed as the best
universities and colleges of the old
world. The tremendous fund of natu
ral wealth In Western states, the rapid
development now in progress, the geo
graphical position with reference to the
new commercial empire cf the Pacific,
and the wide awake nature of Western
people take these things certain.
Never again will men have a Western
frontier to look to when seeking new
homes for the expansion oi ne ideas.
Humanity has made its path aiound the
globe, and now, at the journey's end,
the Pacific coast, must there be an up
building, and intensive, rather than ex
tensive, development of all Inst it a-
liuua. 71imI ILis uiutud Ut tub pcuplc
of the West they do not at present fully
comprehend. But the progress oi
events nowadays 1b very rapid, and ths
work of these new forces will be evi
dent within only a few years."
Old Superstition Refuted.
By J. L. Ashloek. Wuh Ington State Collet,
rum
The results of an experiment, which
for the past fifteen years has been in
progress at the state experiment sta
tion, completely refutes the old super
stition that a cold January and Febru
ary is apt to be followed by a warm
March and April, or that one year of
an average low temperature is apt to
be followed by a year in which th
temperature will average higher.
Professor George Severance now has
the compilation of the weather data in
charge, and states the summarization
of results as follows:
"For the past fifteen years the ex
periment station has kept a close rec
ord of the temperature of ea:h day of
the year, striking an average between
the temperature of morning and even
ing, which we call the 'mean tempera
ture.' Having kept - the record for a
month the custom has then been to get
the average 'mean' for the entire
month. In this way we have com
pared the temperatures of each period
of January and February with the tem
perature of the following March and
April periods for tbe past fifteen years,
and we find that the variations from
the rule for determining what the tem
perature of spring will be by the tem
perature of winter, of one year by aver
aging the temperature of another, are
so frequent that it is proved that the
weather of one year or month, or sev
eral months, is absolutely no index to
what subsequent temperatures will be."
Agricultural Club at Idaho University
By J. H. Frandson. Idaho Experiment Station,
- Moscow
The formation of an Agricultural club
on the 19th of December marked an
important event in the history of the
agricultural department of the univer
sity of Idaho. The club is intended to
promote a more lively feeling towards
agricultural work among the students
and to interest the farmers of the state
in the college. Several methods will
be need in carrying out this work, the
principal one of which will be the pub
lishing of a magazine known as the Ida
ho Student Farmer. Tiie first and only
number of the present scholastio year
will be published in a short time. Be
ginning next fall a quarterly will be
printed. This magasine will take up
subjects of the atmost Interest to farm
ers and to agricultural students.' Your
name and 10 cents to cover postage sent
to the Idaho Student Farmer, Universi
ty of Idaho, Moscow, will secure a copy
of the first number.

WHERE DID
CHARLES SWEENEY
GET HIS WEALTH?
WHAT
BUILT
SPOKANE?
tlHY did the 0. R. & N. build into Washington? The answer: MINES MINES
, YV LEAD MINES. WHAT MADE Senator Stanford and built his beautiful me
morial? MINES. Why not such results since mining is the staple industry of
the world? LEAD IS REGULAR AND CERTAIN, the market always calling for more
and more, while the price does not fluctuate as with other of the baser metals. MILLIONS
HAVE BEEN MADE FROM LEAD, and the best part of the story is the fact that the
mall investor has always had an equal chance with the man of large means. MANY A
POOR FARMER, laboring man, mechanic and employe have come into vast riches by
small investments in lead.
WE OFFER YOU THE SAME OPPORTUNITY
accepted by Sweeney,' Spokane's millionaire, and the same opportunity accepted by other
Spokane men who built the City of Spokane, by placing on the market the first block of
treasury stock of THE AMERICAN LEAD MINES COMPANY 100,000 shares at FIVE
CENTS PER SHARE. Our company is incorporated under the laws of the State of
Washington; capital stock $1,500,000; no debts; no incumbrance; property paid for; stoclc
non-assessable.
OUR MINES Are located
but fifty miles from the famous Coeur d'Alenes District We are in the same mineral belt
and lie between that district and Rossland, British Columbia eight miles from Idaho and
six miles from the British Columbia boundary. Our climate is equable, open and mild, work
being done the year round. There is great activity on every hand at Metaline; large
operators are turning in that direction and she bids fair to rival the camps in the Coeur
d'Alenes. DON'T OVERLOOK the magnificent opportunity to BUY WHILE THE
PRICE. IS LOW. Full particulars upon application.
