NOVICE AND PROFESSIONAL
Glamour of Mining Industry
Blinds Eyes OF Many.

There is probably no vocation in
the line of human endeavor which 1,
more entioing, or has more glamor as
sociated with it than that of mining.
There is also, it can be truthfully
said, no occupation which requires
more deep study, more application
and more practical experience than
this industry, to qualify person to
follow it successfully.
1t is business to which there is
no end, it is continually going on
with rapid strides. Especially is this
true when the science of metallurgy is
added to the extraction of the metals
from the earth, Methods of mining
and means of manipulating ores, are
more or less changing all the time,
and alert the miner or metallurgist
must be who keeps in touch with all
the improvements so he can be up-to-
date
Notwithstanding the above facts,
there are possibly more experts in both
branches of this business than in any
other knowp.
Somehow, those who have an un-
usual amount of gall, to use COM
mon phrase, when they are fortunate
enough to get an audience with an in
vestor, and have loaded themselves up
with a number of scientific terms, can
cause the man with money, if he be u
novice, to think that they know all
the secrets of profession which it
has taken qualified person many
years and cost him considerable
money to acquire.
There is quite difference between
the educated man in the mining and
metallurgical professions and the ex-
pert who has picked up his knowledge
from observation. The former is
generally modest. He has an up-to-
date office in which all necessary in
struments are kept for performing
work of precision. He remains in his
Office when not otherwise engaged,
and meets and arranges his business
affairs with his clients there. In fact
there is now nearly as much of code
of ethics among the scientific men of
mining affairs as there is in the med
ical profession.
On the other hand, the would-be,
the person who has smattering of
the business, is on the curbstone; he
is ON the lookout for the tenderfoot
He is liable to buttonholo him any.
where and, if the stranger is easy, he
is likely to part with some of his
wealth in exchange for mining
claim which would not be recommend
ed were he to employ person who
has reputation to keep sacred, ana
who is fully capable of coming very
close to the merits or demerits of any
thing Of a mining nature.
In these days there is no necessity
for anyone to be taken In on mining
deal, unless they belong to that class,
described by the late p. 7. Barnum,
those who love to be humbugged. OF
course if man wishes to gamble, II
is his glorious privilege as long as he
violates no law, and there is probably
no more fascinating form of counting
Dame Fortunes favor than trying his
luck seeking for wealth which lies
hidden in the bowels of the earth -

ARMSTRONG PHEASANTRY
New Enterprise lnausurated
Near Jacksonville.

Prof, A. p Armstrong OF this city
is to manage the largest pheasantry in
the state of Oregon. This enterprise,
which will include the propagation
of all the harder varieties of these
strange, and once wild birds, is to be
carried out ON the mammoth poultry
farm of Prof. Armstrong, now in OPP
Grafton near Medford, Oregon. An
CORA cats, Japanese spaniels and fer
rets are also to be raised. The farm
contains 200 acres of the best land
in that section of the country, and,
although a portion of it is given over
to orchard products, all may be
placed at the disposition of the
pheasants and other feathered fowl
should occasion arise
Homer Davenport, the celebrated
cartoonist, owns the largest pheasant
ry in the world, located near East
Orange, n. ]. 1t is from Mr. Daven-
ports farm that Professor Armstrong
is to obtain by far the larger portion
of his birds, although some have been
ordered direct from Asia through a
Portland firm.
Eggs and birds will be placed ON
sale and it is the intention of Mr.,
Armstrong to make his farm the
general western depot for these fowls.
Bantam hens will be exclusively en-
ployed to hatch the pheasants and care
for them until they reach an age
where they can be depended upon to
obtain their own food, or in barnyard
parlance scratch for themselves. 4"
This condition is reached by pheas-
ants at much earlier age than with
domestic poultry, because of their
natural tendencies.
"The farm at Medford is in charge
of my brother and he will have per-
sonal supervision over it. l do not
intend to leave my business here. "
Asked what varieties of phoasants
had been ordered from Asia, Mr..
Armstrong said:
Golden Pheasants and Silver Tips
have been ordered from Japan and are
expected to arrive shortly. 1t will be
some little time before the birds,
which are to be supplied by Mr.,
Davenport are sent west. cannot
name each variety. There are many,
all hardy and capable of propagation
in the Oregon climate.
In addition to the poultry there
will be a section of my farm devoted
to Angora cats, Japanese spaniels and
ferrets. l do not know in Just what
numbers these will be handled, but
L will endeavor to supply the western
market at least, and all orders coming
from no matter what source will be
honored This is a portion Of the
business l do not care to discuss at
length. Portland Journal

The Greatest Problem.

How to save drunkard Is great
problem. That he can be saved at all
Is not certain. With weakened will
on the one side and habit strong ON
the other, drunkards by the thousands
are staggering on toward their graves.
To make an effort TO save all of them
or any of them, is q brave thing. He
who makes 1t deserves the respect II
not the praise of his fellow men.
One takes the risk Of being disbelieved
who makes the assertion that any
class Of men stands in greater need of
salvation than drunkards. am
willing, however. TO take the chance
by affirming that the Christian man
hood Of this country. with few not
able exceptions, is in danger little
less grave, il any, than the poor victims
of drink who yield to the force of
habit A few brief statements only
are needed in explanation.
The business in making drunkards
is legal. The law recognizes IL and
protects 1t. The man, who, by the
manufacture and sale Of intoxicating
beverages, furnishes the necessary CO.
operation to appetite to produce
drunkenness is acting within the law
and his legal rights. 1t is fearful
thing for a government to give proteo-
tion and sanction to such bad,
wretched business Ours does give
such sanction and support.
We express ourselves through polit-
ical parties Ours is n government
by political parties Not the best
kind, perhaps, for government with
out political parties, were II possible,
might be better. Be that as II may,
oursl is government by means Of
political parties. The Christian
citizen who works with political
party or who votes its ticket, makes
himself responsible for the policy
which that party pursues. II is i'm
possible for man to vote q party
ticket without assuming responsibility
for party action.
The dominant political parties are
committed TO the license OF the liquor
traffic. This can DO supported by
citing the different states in the
Union. With few exceptions every
one Of them fosters, protects, and
legalizes the liquor. business The
federal government does the same.
The policy Of the states and of the
federal government must be tho poll
cies Of the parties in power, or the
situation would be changed. We
know the party in power In Illinois is
a saloon licensing party because that
state has a saloon.licensing policy.
Since kentucky has n saloon.licens-
ing policy, we know the party In
power is saloon licensing party.
Every Christian man who votes with
either Of the political parties COM
mitted to that policy fastens upon his
own soul responsibility for the guilt
and sin Of his state Can II be said
that the Christian men Of this country
are in no danger, when a country
whore Christian men are in control
pursues such wicked policyp
A campaign 10 needed for the saw
ing OF Christian manhood. Great is
the incentive to work for the drunkard.
Greater is the incentive to work with
the Christian voter who votes for
license. When Christian government
legalizes and sanctions n sinful thing
something is radically wrong. some
body is IN danger. Oliver W. Scott.
