Engineering as a Profession.

Engineering is a good profession for
American boys today. The arid West
must be reclaimed in this quarter
century. The mines OF the South must
be opened and her water supply har-
messed to looms to spin her cotton and
manufacture thousand articles she
now buys from the busy East. The
Panama canal, the greatest engineer
ing feat ever attempted, is now calling
tor men who have learned the ''How P"
that engineering teaches.
Graduates of engineering schools
have none of the long waits that dull
enthusiasm and pave the way for fail
ure in many other professions. This
yer thirty-four young men graduated
from the school of Engineering in our
own State University and all are now
engaged with good salaries and bright
prospects for an increase as their ex.
perience broadens,
The attendance Of students in the
Engineering department of the Univer
sity OF Missouri has increased during
the last ten years from 69 to 274 which
| indicates an increased interest among
ambitious young men in this promis
ing profession. General interest, too
has increased. Within the last fev
years this department of the Universit,
of Missouri has recived merited recog
milton from the Legislature. Th
Forty. First General Assembly of Mis-
souri, appropriated $40, 900 for an en-
cheering laboratory in connection
with the University, and $4,000 TO
apparatus illustrating all the differen
forms of modern commercial method
for the generation aud use of mechan
ica power. The building is complet
and the apparatus has been installed
This places within the reach OF ever
bright, am bilious boy an opportunit
to study engineering. To the boy VIII
wants to do things, to be somebody
the profession offers strong induce
ments as a life work.

Market Letter.

Kansas City, Mo-, Wednesday, July
q, 1904. Cattle supply this week has
been moderate until today, when $500
head came in, which is little too
many for the present situation. Prices
have been higher each day till today,
when nearly IS per cent of receipts
were beef steers, and late sales of
mediam steers were 10 to 20 cents
lower than yesterday. The best were
ste dy; top Sc 90. top fed westerns
S575. Butcher cattle were scarce and
strong to 10 cents higher. Heifers sold
at So .85, heavy cows at S400. Grass
native steers bring S5.25 for best,
westerns a little less. Shippers have
been advised against sending IN COM
mon stuff, which accounts for the large
per centage of good killing cattle here
today. Some of the strikers went back
to work at the plants here yesterday,
and more OF them applied today, so
that it looks like the back bone of the
strike was broken. Shippers can now
safely send in two-thirds of normal
supply, but should spread it over the
week, have some here every day.
Country buyers have begun to inquire
for stockers and feeders, and sales Of
same yesterday and today were strong
to 10 cents higher each day, ranging
from $500 to $3.50. If shippers can
use the same good judgment they have
shown so far during the strike Tor q
little while longer, in marketing light.
ly, the loss to cattle dealers on account
of the strike will not be heavy.
Hogs are up and down and not very
reliable. Sales yesterday were the
highest since last October, but with &
supply of $500 today, prices are II
cents lower, leaving the top at So 55
bulk at $3.50 to So so, light hogs "
to S5.45, -Four packers are buying
besides very good shipping demand
nearly every day.

Thursday afternoon, July 2S, DR..

William ]. BRYAN.

OF all the men who took part in the
St. Louis convention none did more
spIendidly than MIR. Bryan. Earnest
and courageous to the end, lighting
for the things In which he believed, he
yet yielded to the supreme democratic
principle that the majority must rule.
He went at least half way-aye, more
than that-to promote spirit of hsr-
mony which will lead to party success.
We believe that it can be truthfully
said that in the eyes of the country to-
day he IS greater than ever before.
There are many who look upor him as
the greatest living Amerlcnn. He IS
young and he is growing, With his
wide knowledge of affairs, his great
abilities as a debater, his magnificent
ratory and his lovable personality, it
seems sure that there must be much in
store for him. As the central figure
of the great convention he knows in
what regard he is held by his fellow
parusans the country over--COlumbia
Herald.

The Tireless Candidate.

The political contest Of 1900, led in
the field by Roosevelt and Bryan, was
one that is not likely to have its equal
in picturesque qualities for long time
to come. Both men were radical in
their methods and personalities and
created the strongest prejudices and
enthusias SIMS. They were both inde.
fatigible. almost, in meeting the de-
mands made upon them. There is no
work In the world-and | do not ex-
cept that of train dispatcher-which
will take the nervous force out of a
man more thoroughly than the work
of a man who is travelling across the
country at the rate of sixty or seventy
mile an hour between speeches, day in
and day out, for weeks at time,
Though both candidates made from
twelve to twenty-five speeches a day
Mr., Bryan once made thirty-three-it
was but few times during the cam
palgu that either of them found his
work wearing out hIs nerves, and
showed his irritation by telling bis
companions that the committee was
oyerworking him. Strangely enough,
this happened more often with Mr.
Roosevelt thqn with Mr., Bryan =

The Sheep Interests.

At the convention of National Wool Growers at Portland, Ore, last Monday the condition of the range and sheep industry in the western states was briefly reviewed by representative sheep raisers. The concensus of opinion was that the government in setting aside ex- tensive forest reserves for the pur- pose of adding irrigation and better ing natural water supplies was go- ing to the extreme and cutting down the ranges to an unwarranted degree.
 In a few words, the expressed desire of the sheepman is that the government shall adopt a broader and more liberal plan in relation to the public lands. The sheepman want permission to use the reserves for grazing, subject to such regula- tions as the government may see fit to adopt for the protection of the forest reserves. It was suggested that the relief sought by sheepmen would be attained, could they secure the passage of bill now pending in congress transferring the execu- tive control of the public lands to the department of the agricul ture from the department of the interior. Resolutions expressir g the desire of the convention for the passage of a bill were unanimously adopted and copies were ordered sent congress.
