The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.

.lNvENTS SAFE
THIRD RAIL

Los ANGELES, Aug. 6.-What the
Inventor claims to be an absolutely
safe third rail surface electric system
for street raalways has been patented
by Timothy Mahoney, a Los Angeles
man, A practical demonstration of the
invention is to be given shortly on a
mile stretch of standard track of the
Los Angeles Pacific road near Sher-
man. The track is now being laid with
the surface third rail. and a car is be-
ing fitted for the initial tgial that is
expected to demonstrate a system that
viii do away with the overhead wire
and the trolley.
Mr.. Mahoney has been at work on
MS invention for seven years, and his
maj patent papers were taken out last
April. The third rail on elevated and
underground systems has been in use
In Eastern cities for a number of
years, but so far no successful demon
stration has been given of a practical
surface system.
The new system provides for an I'M
foreground feed wire that connects with
boxes under each rail. a distance of
80 feet apart. Two copper shoes brush
ing along the third rail pick up the
current. but only one rail at a time is
alive A splendidly regulated auto
matte system provides for the quick
ening and deadening of the rails as the
car passes along.
Mr.. Mahoney claims that 1t is utter
ly impossible for the third rail to be
alive" except when the car is passing
: over it, and as people are not supposed
TO be on the track when a car is pass
AAng' there is absolutely no danger to
THE public. 1t is further claimed for
THE invention that the cost of con-
struction will be considerably cheaper
than the overhead trolley system. since
city ordinance provides that all feed
wires must be placed underground,
The model, which runs on a circu-
lar track works perfectly and is at
tracing considerable attention.

PORTLAND, Aug. 81 NJ. Mac
gregor, a director of the Idaho Falls
Development company, of Idaho Falls,
Idaho, which has made such a marked
success in the upbuilding Of Southern
Idaho, Is in the city, says the Oregon
ian. Mr.. Macgregor is a student of
advertising, and has spent consid"rs Bile
time looking over the plans carried on
by the oregon Development league and
the Portland Commercial club. as well
as those of similar bodies throughout
the country.
Regarding the development of the
arid region of Idaho, Mr. Macgregor
said yesterday:
I'VE are putting 100000 acres of
land in the Upper Snake River valley
of Idaho under water-that is, we have
it already under irrigation, and more
than so per cent of that in crop: and
then Immediately south of us are three
other irrigation propositions which
also have 100000 ares under irriga-
ton. and all of this vast territory Is
nearer to Portland than to any other
important coast city. Our natural out
let through the Snake and Columbia
rivers, as well as by rail transporta-
ton, is to this city, and we feel that
Portland ought to show a more mark
ed appreciation of us, not only by
working harder for our business but
by getting some of the extra capital of
this city invested In Idaho Irrigation
projects, for Idaho is the irrigation
state, and in that department of adj
vancement has thrown dust In the
faces of California, Utah, Colorado and
all the balance of the states. In fact.
idaho is so decidedly leader in irri-
cation that she today has more acres
under water than both California and
Colorado combined, or more than Mon.
tana, Utah and Arizona combined. We
are not going to be so impolite as to
make comparison with Oregon or
yonr sister state of Washington
idaho raises fancy apples grapes
and other crops. as well as the staples.
Her alfalfa crop is larger than that Of
! any other state in the Union, and at
the present time the state has more
: than 100000 acres of irrigated lands
Idaho for market is worth ten
times as much to Portland as all the
business this city will ever get from
Alaska and Hawaii combined and this
trade comes from stable, home own
ing population, which will continue to
increase for many years to come"

BOYS WANTED
RIGHT KIND
School Opened to Train the
Coming Generation to
Meet Demands

NE WYORK, Aug. Elm about one
month, with the ending of the summer
season, the metropolis will be crying
for $4,000 Office boys, the old-fashioned
kind preferred. Each year the cry for
boys that goes up from the skyscrap-
ers becomes more insistent. New
York's greedy business now gobbles up
some 10000 youngsters year as Office
boys, and though there are just about
enough boys to supply the demand,
business men complain that to secure
the right kind of boys is a very diff
cult matter indeed.
1t is a curious fact about New
Yorks great army of Office boys that
"a very small proportion of them are
graduates of the public schools. The
schools graduate less than 10000 boys
a year, and fully half of these enter
the high schools to equip themselves
for business or other careers, so that
probably not more than 1000 of these
annual graduates become office boys.
The average age of these young BUSH
ness men is IA years and six months.
OF the residue of the annual contn-
gent of office boys, the great majority
are youngsters who, for some reason
or other, have been compelled to drop
out of school before completing the
course.
d-Fashioned Boy Gone.
Boys enough there are, then, but
business men lament the passing of
type is taking his place with the dodo
and the mastodon, He was the boy
who came early and stayed late. who
busted, swept, scrubbed, cleaned the
windows, filled the inkwells and, in
short, was chambermaid and waitress
and Office assistant all in one. If
there was an errand to be run he was
there and back in a jiffy. He appar-
emily had a mother who kept him i'm
maculate in all details, from finger
nails to shoes. He said Eyes, sir" in
stead of sure" and incidentally, he
could add, write fair round hand"
and had a working knowledge of geo.
graphy. He rose rapidly from the Of
flee boys job and, of course, married
the boss daughter and became head of
the firm in time.
Office Boy School.
The demand for office boys who
know something about an Office" has
led to the establishment of an evening
training school for Office boys by the
West Side Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION, which seems to be filling a
long-felt want. The instruction is de-
signed to turn out polite, reliable and
promotable youngsters as office assist
ants.
Business men have shown even more
interest in the Office boys school than
the boys theyselves. AS a conse-
quence, many more places were offer
ed to graduates of the school during
the past year than the limited number
of boys could possibly FILL and the I'M
placed boys who completed the course
all had choice of several good posi-
tons. The other boys who were al
ready employed materially bettered
their positions and, in some cases,
they were able to triple their salaries
while taking the course.
