The American members of the inter national commission appointed to sur vey and mark out the Alaska boundary line at Lynn canal, untier tue mouut Vivendi, arrived in Seattle from Wash ington, and wil proceed to Victoria, where they will meet the two British members of the commission, me American menmbers are C. H. Tilnian, assistant superintendent of the United States coast and iteologicai sutvey, auu his assistant, O. B. French. They are gathering statistics and information here concerning the matter they have in hand. Mr. Tiilman said it wouia requite probably two months to com plete the survey. The line will be marked with the usual monninents, stakes, eto. On Chilkoot and White passes, monuments of a permanent char acter will be set up, so tnat tnere may be no possible dispute at these points as to the exact location of the line. 'We are simply to ascertain the lo cation and mark out for the guidance of all persons the line established by the modus Vivendi between r.ugmnu and the Cnited States." said Mr. Til- man. "This line was agreed to in Oc tober, 1899, after several months of ne gotialion. It is by no means a per manent or established boundary line bevond the terms and life of the modus Vivendi. Our work will be necessarily technical and not diplomatic, although we are oneralinfr under the direotion, in this instance of the department oi state, at Washington. The distance to be snrveved is about 25 miles." Mr. Tilman expects to begin acuve work in the field about June 15. lie and Mr. French will meet the Cana' dian commissioners at Victoria. They are W.

State Senator Charles W. Fnlton, of Astoria. Or., has aocepted the invita tion extended to him to deliver the Fourth of July oration in Pendleton. The warehouses at The Dalles, have already received about 1,500,000 mnnHi nf vnnl. and It IS TJOunng in rapidly from all points of the compass. The good road from Snmpter to Gran ite will be constructed under the direc tion of E. J. Godfrey. It will cost f 5.000 or $6,000 and will be a credit to that section.

Rorick last week cut a field of rye on tne oia rrans layior piace aoross the river from The Dalles, Or., that averaged in height six feet and eight inches. Mr. Rorick says it beat any rye crop he ever saw. A new tube boiler has been sent down to Seaside, Or., to replace the large one now being nsed by the saw mill there. A 7,000 gallon water tank is being erected bv the company near the box factory, and will afford ample proteo tion in case of fire. Day Bros, hare 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 tbe other side of tbe rivei, one log ging camp 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 tbe cool spell baa not helped to develop a healthy growth; it is predicted the corp will be snort and prices high. The experiments that have been car ried on by the O. R. & N. with brome crass and on the arid lands in the vi cinity of Telosaste, sontn oi union, Or. have shown that the new grass will grow luxuriantly on the dry and al most barren hills. A considerable quantity of seed will be sown this year. The steamer Signal was chartered by the Pioneer Western Timber Company for Cape Nome, and the vessel left South Bend for that point. J. D, Dyer is manager of the enterprise. It is proposed to start a lumber' yard at Nome and supply it from South Bend or Knappton. A part of tbe cargo con' sisted of 400,000 feet of lumber for buildings and sluce boxes. . .. Fire broke out in tbe dry kiln of tbe Addison mill plant at Tacoma last week. The firemen confined the fire to tbe building in which it originated. bnt as that building contained the ma chinerv. tbe mill will have to shut down for lepairs. The loss is $15,000, while tbe insurance is bnt f 4,500, leav- inn a net loss of $10,600. Tbe com pany will rebuild at once. II. J. Snively, J. H. Visslers and J. M.

(notations Ht Weakened la lvral nra.litnmt'i aava: Trade is. if anv- I ;hing, quieter and prices are lower than i week ago, while efforts toward a re adjustment of productive capacity to present conditions, are noted in several tines of industry, notably iron and steel ind lumber. Unsettled conditions in the cotton trade, and a large failure, due mainly to overstapling the bull side f the staple, has tended to weaken quotations in several lines of speculative business. Backward crop reports and the backward demand for cotton goods are of course partly responsible for the iharp break, but statistically tbe staple remains very strong. Advices from the dry foods trade ara 3f backward demand at retail, affecting arders in many lines, but cotton goods production is still heavy. The boot and shoe market is auu with manufacturers firm but with job bers asking for lower prices. Lumber is on the whole weaker, partly owing to the unsettled conditions in the building trade and partly to the feeling that prices have been pushed too high, and this feeling is likewise true of a number of other lines. Almost alone among iron and steel products, structural material is firm and much is hoped for in the direction of new business. The weakness in cast Iron pipe is inducing some curtailment of production, notably at the soutn Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week agitregate 3,693,968 buebels, against 5,173,422 bushels last week. Business failures for tbe week num ber 16? in the United States, compared with 155 last week. In the Dominion of Canada business failures for the week number 18, as compared with 24 last week.

Shaw's Advica to the Collea Orad- atei If Ton Want the Poaittoa. Yon Must Do the Work Better than the Uneducated Man Ahead of You. "When you go out from school," said Gov. Leslie M. Shaw, or Iowa, in a re cent address to the students of North western University at Kvanston, III., you will find the other fellow, as Sum lonet says. He has not been to college, but he la occupying the place which you want, aud he Is four years alien of you. He will stay there, too, unless the training you get In college better pre pares you for his place." This is a plain statement of an indis putable fact, and one which college stu dents should commit to memory. A mere college tralnlug will uot enable ny one of them to got "the other fel low's" Job unless the tralnlug the grad uate baa secured la of the practical kind, which makes him better fitted for the place than the man without a col lege education, who holds it. He will not be able to secure the place on his diploma, on his standing In his class, on his fraternity nfllllatlons, on his good looks, bis good clothes, or even his good recommendations, and If by chance he shall obtain a position on the strength of these he will not be able to bold It If be does not possess lu an equal degree the merit which enabled the other fel low to make his way without any of these advantages. Everything else being equal, the foung man who Is fortunate cuough to enter upon a career lu these days with college education has an advantage over the other fellow, but he cannot afford to rest or play upon that advant age for a moment. If be depended upon It to carry him through, the other fellow will pass him In the race. "If person can do one thing and do It well be will be worth something" said Gov, Shaw. "It makes no difference what you do, as long as you do it bettor than It has ever been done before. There Is so visible opening In any line you might select. On the other band, there Is a splendid opening If you can try a case better than any other attorney. There ire many attorneys, but not so many awyers; many pedagogues, but few teachers; many medical men, but few Sectors. One-fourth of the lawyers In Chicago can try a case no better now than when they began,, and all through Wisconsin there are women who can ;ook no better than they could tbe day they were married, and they are told so three time a day. The world Is ready to pay any price for excellence. The llfflculty with the average man and the rest of them Is that they do not pay enough attention to detail. No matter what profession you master, you must also master detail." All this Is true. It is so demonstra My and palpably true that recognition ef Its truth has revolutionized the sys tem of higher education In this country within tbe past twenty-five years. It was In response to the demand that the colleges should turn out graduates with tome fixed purpose In mind, with some special training, with something like in equipment that would enable them to compete with the other fellow, and, 1 possible, excel him, that Harvard, fale, Princeton. Williams, Cornell, and nr Western universities adopted wliol ly or In part the principles which ob tained exclusively In purely technologi cal Institutions only a few years ago. Tbe danger for a time was that tbe reaction In favor of the practical branches of education as against the cultural might go too far, and It Is to the credit of the faculties of the Massa ehusetts Institute of Technology In Boston and Armour Institute of Tech nology In Chicago that the danger was voided. As the purely cultural col leges have exhibited a tendency to he roine more practical, the purely tech aicol Institutions have exhibited even stronger tendency to become more :ultural to that tbe latter are equip ping their students to-day, not only for &e Inevitable hand-to-band encounters 1th the other fellows, but for the Higher places In life for which their Mllege training qualifies them. The college students of our times, It cheerful to know, are having the doc 3-lnes enunciated by Gov. Shaw ground .nto them on all sides. Tbey are made io realize now that tbey cannot step jut of a university Into a big legal or medical practice, Into a dally newspa per editorial chair, Into tbe presidency at a bank, or to the Xorefront In any walk of life, Just because they gradu ate with honors. Tbey are being taught now that, while education gives ttiem a tremendous advantage, nothing short of actual contact with the sharp cor ners and actual experiences In the hurly-burly of life will finally enable them to compete with the other fellow. He Is not only four years ahead of them be may be twenty be often Is In prac tical knowledge, and he will always re main about that far In advance of the man who thinks he has nothing more to learn when be bids good-by to his alma mater. Chicago Inter Ocean. An Arizona Bill of Fare. "I was at a restaurant out In Arizona nce," said a salesman for a well- known revolver corporation, "and was looking over the bill of fare. It gave a better description of some features of tbe country than a whole volume. For 10 cents yon could get some delicious lamb chops and fried potatoes. But bread and butter were extra, while a dish of milk toast was 19 cents. You see that meant that they raise cuttle out there for their meat and not for dairy purposes. Milch cows are scarce nd dear. But the Chinese broil beaf- ,eak by frying it ana then making the marus or we grioaie witn a red not poker." The Mafla. It Is In Sicily that both poverty and crime have reached their most porten tous development Here, again, we find diverse strains of blood, lunguage and tradition, and an unfortunate historic- development We cannot Indeed, ex plain the social facts of Sicily In our time without reference to tbe past. Centuries of turbulence and misgovern mnt produced a condition of affairs la which every man's band wits against svery other man's, and In which, tits idea of Just and Impartial law becoui ten weak, the Inevitable alternative of the ruda Justice of revenge becama widespread. In our day, with the pos sible exception of some of the outlying districts of European Russia, Sicily Is the poorest part of Europe. Tbe wages earned In the sulphur mines and the horrible condition of tbe proplt) em ployed therein have been so complete ly exposed that It Is not necessary to dwell thereon. Suffice It to sny that with the factors of wretched poverty and a long historical training in crime, superadded to a quick-blooded, violent people, we may understand the growth and power In Sicily of that murderous society, the Mafia, which the Ita'.lan government la now attacking lu ear nest at Messina. The Mafia Is to all In tents aud purposes a murderous orgau lzutton, which sticks at nothing to se cure Its etuis. Hut formally, and on one side, It Is a klud of unit mil houcfit society. Its member are bound to pro tect and benefit one another und.'r giv en conditions, or pay the dread penalty for failure or neglect. Spectator. Henry Fielding was once aske I by Lord Denbigh why he wrote his uanie Fielding" Instead of "Felldlng," a his lordship's family use;!. "1 can not tell, my loid." replied the novelist, "ex cept It be that my branch of the fam 111 were tbe first that kuew how to spell." ; Sir Itobcrt IYel was once going throuch a picture collection with a frleud where there was a portrait of I promlneut Englishman who was fa uious for saying sharp things. "How wonderfully like!" said the frleud; "you can see the quiver on bis Dps." Yes," replied Sir Kobert "and the ar rows coming out of It." They are telling a story In Chicago about an advance agent for the Thoiuai Orchestra who recently went to New Orleans to book dates for concerts. He was told that It would be well for him first to talk the matter over with a wealthy woman who la a lender In the musical circles of the city. So he called at her residence, aud a ring brought out an old negro, who took the caller's card, on which printed the legem, "Representing the Thomas Orchestra." Presently a young woman rauie to the door holding the card In her hand. She did not seem to understand the object of the call. Tbe agent attempt, d to explain, but was cut abort 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 letters from a man In Michigan. Tbe first set fottb that tbe writer bad settled upon a piece of land that bad "rite smart pin tlm bur on It;" that bis neighbors, with the exception of "sum frencb Cau ticks at the nort end of tbe lak," bad also "r:te smart" of timber, and would ball the advent of a "sonnll" with delight "How mutch woud a smol sormll coatt N. It. If a Frenchman name Ike Lamor to rites you to ask about this bese no gud and a ded beat of the first water." Tbe firm wrote back to Inform their correspondent that a sawmill such as he seemed to want would cot about three buudred dollars. A catalogue was Inclosed, which would give blm an Idea of the' plant and tbe firm hoped to be favored with his order. Tbe firm had no Idea that Its letter would give seri ous offense. There was no doubt bow- ever, that the Michigan man was quit annoyed. He wrote: "You must take me for a fool. If 1 had three bun dred dollars what in wud I want a sormll for?" Many years ago, when President Kruger was In England, he was ap proached concerning some concession, railway or otherwise, by a business man In London. The negotiations last ed for some time. One evening the tjondoner, wbo waff staying at the same hotel, having spent many hours w!tb-Mr. Tiruger and his companion, went to bed much exhausted, and feel- lnz he badsflot gat quite all he wanted. Next mornlngAe at nine o'clock, and went ffrqtiK intr corridor w air, Krugers uediounr. io nis aston su ment It was empty, and all the luggagt was gone. "Ob, sir," said tbe cham bermald, "Mr. Kruger and his friend left at six this morning." Then, with a giggle oi amtiseo reminiscence, tne girl added: "Tbey was a queer couple, sir, and no mistake. When 'a passed your door, sir, Mr. Kruger, started dancln' tight outside your door, sir, 'a aud bis friend. They didn't know as any one saw them, sir, but Bessie and I see them, unbeknown, from tbe top of the stairs. Then they went downstairs. sir. fairly split tin' their sides with laughin', though tbey didn't say word." During an advance in Manila recent ly, says the Chicago Tribune, one com pany bad to He down at the side of tbe road for shelter from the well-directed volleys of the Insurgents. One of the privates had dropped his haversack In the middle of the road away bnck, and, after the company had laid down, he calmly stood up and walked down the road toward the lost haversack. He made a flue target for the Insurgents, and tbe bullets rattled around blm pretty lively. "Here, come back here, O'Malley," yelled the lieutenant of the company; "you'll be killed, "Well, replied O'Malley over bis shoulder, "I might Jest as well be killed as have Gen. Otl a-runnln' me up hill and down dale and comln' over to me house lvery mornln' and a-sayln', 'O'Malley, why don't you pay the government for that haveysack?'
