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. Pendleton, high School
has outlined a course which will be
Installed as soon as an instructor
can be secured. Crook county high
school and. many others have signi
fied an intention of taking up the
work at an early date.
The college is anxious to fill the
positions which are waiting on all
sides for its graduates, but in order
to do so It moist have the young
men and women to train.
The demand is here; the opportun
ity is here; only the men and wo
men are wanting.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallls. The great demand now be
ing .made upon the Oregon Agricul
tural College for young men and wo
men equipped to fill important pos
itions in Indus-trial and educational
fields is unprecedented. '
Dean Cordley of the school of ag
riculture is. receiving letters dally
from all parts of the state request

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.

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. It Is further
explained that the country now be-
