One luxurious son-you still were

luxurious youth had to admit that he

admitted that he had never driven

students college expenses, especially
II he remains month longer than the
vacation time, as many are doing this
year.
Another cause OF vacation immigra-
ton is the turning Of intelligent young
men from crowded city opportunities to
the broader chances in the new and
undeveloped country where the work
is hard. but where the country gives
the vitality to accomplish it and also
the sure reward.
Again, as a third cause, many a luxu-
rious son Of city magnate has been
sent West to work out for himself the
theory Of the survival Of the fittest.
Sometimes he comes with the pull, to
raise himself several rounds of the
ladder but more often he comes with

Assessment Work Easy.
The summer work in the mining

work. The more claims the company
has the better the stock floats in the
East. Usually the amount of ground
is the talking point of the seller of
stock. Every claim. II the district is

and must have at least 800 worth of
work done, or what will stand for that
much on paper. every year Otherwise
the claim will be jumped or revert to

sons refuse to adjust their dignity
and personal comforts to the great

the Westerner, even OF a very few
years experience. is no respecter of

what he is. not what he or his ancestors
have collected. The strangers very
