THE TRAINED NURSE
An Occupation Which Attracts
Many Refined Girls.

Many girls of education and refine
ment are turning to the profession of
trained nurse as a means of liveli-
hood. 1t is a serious occupation
and responsible one, tor the word
of an experienced nurse carries

her profession. 1t is this fact that

Desp.ssa Fl,hlne hv Electrlcltv.

w. B. Mead, the New York million
aire, proposes to catch fish by tenn
porarily binding them. He has fitted
out four boats, each seventy-five feet
long and will send them to the Pacific
Coast. In this connection he has con-
suited leading Yale geological profess
sors and other leading scientists, and
had them confirm his theory that the
Yale submarine electric light, flashed
in the eyes of the fish, will blind them,
cause them to come to the surface
and then land them in the nets which
will be hanging from the boats side.
Yale scientists have told him deep
sea fishing will be revolutionized by
this new method. Each boat is to
have a separate electric plant of it's
own. The dynamo. directly connected
with new type of petroleum engine,
is to be placed with its switches near
the engine. permitting the engineer to
attend to all conveniently. Wires are
to be run from this point to different
parts of the boat to supply the current
for a new portable naval search light
protector, to be used in finding buoys.
etc, for general illumination and for
four huge Yale submarine arc lamps
OF several thousand candle power
each, which are to do the actual fish
ing.

REPAIRING FENCES.
BY Using "Anchor Clamps" You Can Make
Your Fences as Good as New.

Every time a man goes out in the
morning and looks around his place
he thinks of his fences. Are they in
good condition? Are they what is
needed? Win they last? These
questions he asks himself, and many
times he finds himself in sore straits
as to what to do to provide himself
with economical and durable fences.
The matter of fences is the largest
and most important item Of necessary
expense to the landholder.
There are thousands of miles of
old barbed wire fence in tthfe north
west. The wire is fairly good in
them-half as good as if it were new.
And yet because the wires have
sagged and some of them have become
loosened from the posts, the fence is
nearly worthless. 1t is when the
wires are loose and wabbly in barbed
wire fence that damage is done to
stock.
Have you ever noticed a fence in
that condition?
A few upright stays and some
Anchor Clamps" will repair an old
oarDed wire or smooth wire fence and
make it as good as new. 1t makes
the fence as rigid and firm as when
new-and will make it last for years.
Now is the time to save money.
Wire is high, excessively high, and
an entirely new fence is an expensive
affair-if you get the best. The best
is one composed of all large and
strong wires-which cost more at first
but will last forever. You can get
along without buying a new fence for
awhile by repairing the old one. The
"Anchor Clamp" is the only positive
fence lock on the market. 1t pre-
vents sagging it prevents loose wires;
it can be used on any kind of wire; it
is simple, can be applied by any one,
and it is cheap. It will pay you to
send for free sample and full informa-
tion to the Portland Anchor Fence
Co., TAI Nicolai St., Portland, Ore.

PROGRESS OF PACIFIC COAST STATES

Million DoIIar IrrIgalIon Plant.

Field work on another big irriga-
tion enterprise in Crook County, Ore
gon, will be started soon. 1t contem-
plates bringing under irrigation lit
tie valley on the upper course of the
Deschutes River known as Walker
Basin. The basin includes about 1907
900 acres of sage brush land and about
10000 acres of that area can be
brought under the proposed irriga-
ton system. The soil is exceptional
ly rich and is free of stones, water
only being needed to make it ideal
farming land. But the altitude is
about 1900 feet above the sea and the
temperature is so low that only the
hardy crops flourish there. 1t is
adapted particularly to fattening cat
tie for the market. The Oregon De-
velopment Company, with an author
lied capital of $4,000 900 will conduct
this irrigation enterprise. Eastern
capitalists will supply the money for
1t, but a small amount of the stock
being held in Oregon. A surveying
crew has been put in the field to To-
cate routes for bitches and make esti-
mates of cost of improvement. The
water supply will be taken from the
Deschutes. The proposed irrigation
system will be on the east side of the
stream, the west side ascending to the
Cascades. With irrigation. that sec
ton could hardly be surpassed, it is
said, for farming and stock raising.
The land has long been surveyed by
the Government but almost none of it
has been taken up by settlers. A strip
of timber lies between Walker Basin
and the forest reserve, but that was
scripped few months ago by Eastern
timber men. Walker Basin is about
30 miles south from Prineville.

tory this season will demonstrate the
success of the industry, both from an
agricultural standpoint and in Justify
ing the extension of the manufacture.
Beets taken from plowed land last Fall
averaged 10 ounces in weight and
yielded 17.Ol per cent sugar and 49,
per cent purity. Beets taken from
Spring plowed land averaged IS ounc-
es each and yielded 1890 per cent
sugar and "a per cent purity. The
price will average about s5.25 per ton.
and at nine tons per acre will yield a
gross income Of S47.25 per acre.

Real Estate Value, Climbing.

The site selected by the Government
for the new federal building in Seattle
cost the sum of $174,750. This lot
measures 1S4x240 feet, and upon it will
be erected a building costing $3.50. 600.
The latter sum is the original appro-
priation, but Seattle people insist that
it Is too small and the indications
point to an increase of $3.50. 900, or one
million in all. Twenty years ago this
piece of ground could have been pur-
chased for $4,000, = circumstance that
tells the whole story of the growing
importance of Puget Sound cities. AS
a reactionary transaction, a corner lot
l2O feet square one block from this
federal site was a few days later sold
for $4,000 cash. Another big deal
closed the same day was the sale Of
