DO you want visit from MADAMEi
MAcHINE-MADE PEOPLE.

The world Is full Of machine-made
people. An educational system which
win take into account differences Of
temperament or of natural gifts, all
craving expression and development,
does not appear to have been devised.
Schools and commercial colleges are
turning out students who are mere
automatons. and when they so out into
business life they quite expect to be
treated as machines. operated by
cranks. They are not to be considered
as women who think" and in conse-
quence their development is slow and
their natural faculties dwarfed,
Employers may well learn that the
development of individual thought and
responsibility In their assistants by
imposing trust and confidence will
bring rich returns in intelligent devo-
tion to duty and at the same time make
the atmosphere of the work room or
Office radiant with the sunshine Of
happy endeavor and consistent SER
vice.--MADAME. for August.

The oriental liner Aragonia arrived
down the river yesterday and proceed
ed to Fort Stevens. where she was
anchored. The Aragonia has cargo
valued at considerably more than a
quarter Of million dollars, and her
charterers are not at all anxious to
send her to sea Just at present, while
the vladivostok squadron is raiding
the sea near the coast Of Japan. 1t
was stated upon reliable authority
last evening that the Aragonia would
be held here indefinitely, awaiting more
favorable advices from the far east
with reference to the operations Of
the Russian fleet The Arabia, sister
ship to the Aragonia, Is now in the
hands Of prize crew, and the o. r.

he was making preparations to start
up his cannery for the fall run. and
adding some Improvements to the

expects that the run of salmon will

Mr., Barnes also owns cannery in

The run Of flsh has fallen on and re-
celpts were light yesterday at the
various packing houses. The co-op-

the gillnetters and had engaged all the
available men they could find around
town. Yesterday there was not work
enough 10 keep the force busy. The
fish that were brought in came from

what we need is good roads, said
County Commissioner Larson last
evening, talking informally at the
meeting Of the development league
delegations. Every third house in the
Nehalem valley Is deserted, because
the people could not get their produce
to town. It used to be the same on
the Lewis and Clark, but since we ex-
tended the roads to the valley OF that
stream the country has been settled
and the people are all weIl-to-do. The
NehaIem country Is the finest Of Its
kind IN the world, and II we can only
extend the Nehalem road the farmers
win settle there" Mr.. Larson sug-
gests the idea Of a good roads meet
Ing OF Nehalem valley farmers and be-
iieyes representative men from AS
torla ought 10 make trip to that Sec
tlon some time during the year. J. T.
Ross states that most Of the potatoes
bought by the merchants Of Astoria
hre sent to the city from Washington
towns along the river. He says the
price seldom falls below 70 or rs cents
sack. and. In view of Mr.. Larson's
statement that farmer can market
potatoes for 4E cents sack. the indus
try should be successfully carried on
here. The secret OF the failure Of
farming lies In the lack Of good roads,

AN ENTERPRIsING FIRM.

Messrs. E. r. James & Bro, I'm
dertakers, 1926 L street northwest
are up to date in their funeral
arrangements. They both learned
their profession under their uncle,
the late Mckenzie Scott, to whom
they were devoted; Mr.. E. K.
James being his foreman for five
years until his death. He then
conducted the business for his
widow for two years, after which
he started in business with his
brother, Mr.. j. Arthur James, at
Mr.. ScOtt's establishment, where
they are at present located. Any
one who has transacted business
with the late Mckenzie Scott will
never forget the kind attention
rendered them by Mr.. James.
Both brothers are well known
about Washington as clean, sober,
refined business men. Their estab-
lishment is a credit to the color
ed people, being fitted up so home
like that one fOrgets the saddening
gloom of death when entering.
They have a spacious funeral
parlOr for private funerals with a
lady attendant to care for de-
ceased women. Their office is a
marvel of beauty, being fitted up
to date. On the wall hangs a life
size portrait in oil of the late Nc
Kenzie Scott. Their equipment is
superb. Mr.. James holds diplO-
mas from the RenOuard and Mas
sachusetts Colleges of Embalming
and Funeral Directing.
