Gold Mining in Siberia.

A curious and characteristic fea-
ture of mining in the Orsk gold fields,
Siberia, is the way the ground is
prospected and opened up by the
peasant "tributors.
Permission is readily granted to
sink shafts wherever they like, SUBJ
ject to the conditions that they can
go down Only as Ear as water level
usually about 60 feet-and that all
the quartz ore extracted must be
treated at the mill on the ground Of
the landlord and all gold extracted
sold to him at rate previously de-
cided upon, leaving a fair profit for
the peasant and an extra good one
for the landlord.

year ended June 80, 1906, the sur.
plus exported amounted in value to
S376,000, 900, the largest ever reach
ed by agricultural exports for this or
any other country, and exceeding the
export value of 1901, previously the
record year. During the last seven

have exceeded the agricultural i'm
ports by $4,000, while all
other producers find themselves at
the end of the same period with a
total on the debtor side of $459.00O,-

tor of all the prosperity.

''BUM BISCUITS VS.. DOMESTIC
TRANQUILITY"

Elsewhere in these columns is an
announcement of the coming of Miss
Edith McDermott, director of the de-
partment of Domestic Science of the
Agricultural College at Pullman. The
coming of Miss McDermott is said to
be the initiatory step toward the in
PRODUCTION of domesic science into
the schools of the city.
To every one who eats food, this
move must appeal as most sensible
one. Too long have many of the
schools fed us on the dry shucks of
Latin and Greek while the question
of how to make living has been left
in the background.
Too often the college graduate
comes out of the halls of learning
with his diploma and his Latin and
his Greek but does not know how to
make a decent living. The question
of home life and the question of
bread and butter to the ninety nine
out of hundred, is the Quention for
us for the greater portion of our
lives bum biscuits or in other
words, poor cooking is said to be one
of the most frequent causes for un-
happiness in the married state.

hearty welcome by the ladies' OF this

Sterilize All Criminals and Imbeciles

Among the many radical measures
that have been introduced in the
various state legislatures this year,
none would be more far-reach1ng in
the direction of eliminating the GRIM
inal element of our country, if car
ried into effect, than the proposition
to sterilize every person convicted OF
statutory offense, of criminal de-
generates and the incurable insane.
The subject has long engaged the
careful attention of our leading
criminologists, and the proposition is
regarded by them as being perfectly
sound. They realize that the only
successful way to deal with the
problem of crime and other forms OF
imbecility is to make it physically
impossible for person of that kind
to perpetuate his strain.
Against the two objections of SELL
timent" and Personal Rights.
there are urged many potent reasons
for the passage of a law of this kind.
Probably the most important is the
restraining effect such law would
have upon those strongly inclined to
criminal trespass. If it were known
that conviction meant sterilization
there are comparatively few of the
army of those who are daily commit
ting crimes against nature. who
would care to take the chances of
escape from the penalty. Among the
other reasons urged is the one that
the operation removes the vicious in
stinct and thereby changes the GRIM
inal into useful person. The move
ment is rapidly gaining supporters
and it is probable that another two
years may find the sterilization pen
atty upon the statute books of sever
al states.-The Orator Outburst.
