Vest, Enterprise , 62btf The introduction of industrial courses in the public schools of the state is a new phase of industrial activity which will greatly increase the demand for graduates of the In dustrial colleges. At the present time several of the leading high schools of the 'state are preparing courses which will be installed in the immediate future. Several schools are asking the assistance, of the -college in the arrangement of this work. This means that the call for trained men and women, now so great that it cannot be met, will be greatly increased-. The MSdford high school has al ready established, a course in agri culture which Is in charge of S. B. Hall who graduated from the college last year.

M.(Si m. company a Calico, Rock, Ark, Nov. 16. I took the train at Enterprise on Friday, October 29, and arrived in La Grande in due time. Saturday I met Bill Adams, formerly of the Garden of Eden, and was Introduced to a friend of his who was going direct to Kan sas City. We all bought tickets Sat urday night, and took the train about 9 o'clock. Adams got off at Parma,' Ida. I and Mr. Mitchell were traveling companions from there to Kansas City. We had three or four Inches of snow from American Falls to Cheyenne. There we had two hours stop end changed for Denver; one hour's stop at Denver and then took the Northern Pacific for Kan sas City. Our train from Denver to Kansas City consisted of four chair cars, two Pullmans and dining car, and on this train oat of Denver there were Just 15 passengers. AU the trip up to that time the trains were crowded; this would show the ten dency of the tiavel to the westward. We arrived at Kansas City Tues day morning at 9:45. Here my part ner left me and I after a three hours' stop took the train for Springfield. In the meantime I took a street car out to Fifth avenue about a mile and walked back to the depot. Took the train and arrived at Springfield at 9 o'.clock. Just three days from La Grande to Springfield. I went down the Kansas City, Ozark & Southern to Mt. Grove, where my sinter Mvea, whom I had not seen for 22 years. Found them gone on a visit to North Missouri. Later I learned they were going to the Pa cific coast and would not be back for six months. I left my name on their door and departed, going back to Springfield. Took the Missouri Pa cific for Crame and thence to Bran son on the White river in .Taney county, Mo. A day or two here, but not satisfied I took ticket for Berg man, Ark., and thence by stage to Harrison, the U. S. land office for all north Arkansas. Two days was enough and I came back to Bergman and bought a ticket for Calico; ar rived here the lth day of Novem ber, 12 days after1 uny departure. Well how do you like it? To tell the truth, Arkansas looks prosperous. (Continued on last page.) Many New Homes , On Depot Street Five, Pretty Bungalow, and Neat Cotjtage Being Erected iy Alder View.

Bradley, TWO MYSTERIOUS RAILROAD SURVEYS LEWSITON NOW SEES CONNEC TION BETWEEN P. X G. AND NORTH COAST. The Lewiston Tribune of Novem ber 25 Bays a crew of Pittsburg & Gilinore surveyors, under charge of Engineer Martz, who had been en gaged for four months on the Sal mon river survey, passed through Lewiston November 24 on their way to Salmon City to work over the first 40 miles of the line out of Sal mon City. As location work has. been done on the entire line from Salmon City to Whltebird, there seems not the slightest doubt that Engineer Mart work will be to place the forty mile section In shape for construction. It la stated that be'ore the engineer completes- his work the company will have completed that section of the road from Armstead, Montana, to Salmon City, and will Immediately award the contract for the forty miles that will lead directly into the Salmon river canyon. This section of the road will reach the town of Shoup and all the right-of-way has been purchased. There are still two surveying crews remaining in the Whltebird district and they are running the line on down the Salmon to the Snake river. "Inquiry has disclosed," says the Tribune, "that the great expense ac companying the running of the line down the Salmon river from Salmon City and thoroughness of the work, confirm the views that the Pitts burg & Gilmore is an auxiliary of one . of the big railroad companies. The three crews employed number 65 men and the company used eight boats for the accommodation of the two crews that worked down the river. Each of these boats Is forty feet In length and ten feet wide. At points both sides, of the river were surveyed. These,,crw carried -the line to Hot Springs and were met there by the third crew, who had tak en the field at Whltebird. Conserva tive estimate as to the daily expense of the engineering work has been MOO, which would make the total out lay up to this , time over $50,000, while so far as planned these crews are to be kept steadily employed throughout the winter. The finan cial amount Involved it has been sug gested would forbid the idea the company Is a local one organized simply to build a branch Into the Salmon City section.
