STUDY OF DOMESTIC SCIENCE

Regarding domestic science as a
profession. Anna Barrows. writing In
the Chautauquan, says that the young
woman of average ability and educa-
tion, who has taken two years of spe.
cial training In the arts and sciences
underlying the routine of daily life of
a household, large or small, who does
not expect position made to suit
her, but who is ready to cope with
difficulties, will nnd the world waiting
for her help in several directions. She
may teach domestic science in public
or private schools or lecture before
wonen's clubs. She may direct the
dietaries and feed large numbers Of
persons In hospitals and schools, or
send into other homes food prepared
under her own roof. 1t Is doubtful
whether there are any occupations In
the world which are so certain to be
lasting as those that deal with our
daily food.

A notable, though belsted, contri.

Pastor Sheldon, In all his books, SER

spoken for Christian temperance that
his present expression Of opinion will
be read with general interest:

MINES SHOWING UP WELL
Mt. Reuben District Being Steadily

Theodore T. Burkhart, of the Title
Guarantee & Trust company, has re-
turned to Portland from the Mt
Reuben district, in Southern Oregon,
where he inspected the work being
done on the Gold-Bug mine, in which
he is interested. The property is
being developed quietly by the Port
land owners, little being heard of
work there, but the progress is un-
derstood TO be satisfactory in every
respect. The five-stamp mill ON the
property is not running at this time,
but will be opened again soon, as
there is enough ore for the plant 10

Mt. Reuben district has several
promising properties OF which little is
heard on the outside. The Benton,
Gold Bug, Kramer and others being
opened by either close corporations or
partnerships are reported to have ex-

have been developed to such extent as
to warrant installation of treatment

STOCK AND WOOD RANCH
Have Sold $4,000 Cords Of Wood
In Three Years.

Il. u. Dunbar, Of Wolf Greek.
Josephine county, is turning wood
ranch into cattle ranch, mad filling
q big contract with the Southern
Pacific Company at the same time.
Within tho past three years he has
sold $4,000 cords Of frewood to the
railroad at an average price Of $2.75
a cord. and at the same time has
pastured over 100 bead of cattle on
his 5000 acres.
But we have unlimited cattle
range in connection with the land, y
said Mr.. Dunbar, who Is visiting
Portland, land our decided acres only
take in the rich bottom lands about
Wolf and Coyote Greeks. The ad-
jacent hills still belong to the Gov
ernment, and so we pasture them
without having TO pay taxes on the
range. We control the water. and SO
thus have the key to a vast pasture
that may remain the property of
Uncle Sam for many years to come.
1--WE have between 70 aud 100 men
employed most Of the time. but the
Winter is our busiest woodcutting
season. The men are paid by the
cord and board themselves In little
cabins we have built at convenient
points In The woods, and as We run

"We have two V-shaped fumes In
operation, one tapping Wolf Greek
and the other Coyote Greek, and We

The installation Of the cyanide

prevents outside work. s. Chase,
principal owner and manager Of
the property, is in the city at present.

in construction owing TO the scarcity
of teams for the transportation of
the plant which has been delivered at

Recent developments at the Orc

of which but 100 feet is a crosscut.
At the face Of this drift there is a
vertical depth of $50 feet. Three
WINES have been sunk from this
drift, one of which is down about 30
feet All deep work at the property
shows the vein widening, and the
grade of ore is best In the lower
workings. From the deepest winze
