EDUCATIONAL.
By w. f. LARSON.

The tenth of May has been designated
as Arbor and Bird Day. All schools
should have some special exercises. 1t
is a day which ought to be dedicated to
the study Of nature. Flowers, birds
trees, and other objects ought to be
brought to the children's attention both
in the grades and in the country school.
Country school teachers should read
very carefully the Arbor and Bird Day
Annual. Take up for discussion some
of the articles at least. Let every child
learn the substance of the Wisconsin
statutes given on page s5. Notice what
birds are not protected by law. Why?
There ought to be greater intelli.
gence M to the economic value of birds
Only through this study may we hope of
abolishing the barbaric custom of wear
ing birds bodies rs headgear. Let the
country be educated to know that this
custom is a detriment to the material
interests to the amount of millions of
dollars,
Study also the article of Burroughs on
Weeds How many of the weeds
named in the article do you recognize? Z?
The article on snakes by G. l.. Harper
ought also to be studied
Have you ever noticed how much of
the Interpretation of poetry depends
upon the observation of nature? Read
through the poems and notice how much
clearer the pictures are if you know the
things mentioned
Read carefully the article on Winter
Birds in Wisconsin. How many of the
eighty are in our locality?
The article on Forestry should also be
studied. Twenty. five years hence forestry
will be a science studied in our schools.
1t Will be an allied branch of agricul
ture. Though we cannot 20 into il ex.
tensively yet the children ought at least
to learn to recognize the trees of the
neighborhOod A most excellent ex
ercise on arbor day for school children
(city children included) would be to go
out for half II day and study trees in
their own environment. Teach the chill
dren to recognize trees and interest in
them will grow.

GOLD MINING NEAR HOME.
Mountains Near Washington All Have
Some Precious Ores.

, Gold is mined within sight Of Wash
ington monument The heights around
the capital are a part of the Appa-
lachian system and before the out
break of the gold fever in California
all the gold produced in the United
States came out of the Appalachian
mines.
Only the ores that contained free
milling gold could be worked with the
crude processes then known. Then,
too, because of the presence of subter-
ranean streams, mining could not be
done at any great depth.
Nevertheless, gold mines are in
profitable operation to-day in Mary
land and southwestern Virginia, and
these gold veins, badly broken and
disintegrated, are being worked down
through the Carolinas and into Geor-
gia and Alabama.
There is not ravine or gulch in
the environs of Washington city
where, if man dig down to the
gravel and black sand that lie over
bSuI'Sh, llc SuhuOt, ny SSl q
coior. 1t has not been found in sufii-
cient quantities to make placer mining
attractive, though many men have
washed out enough gold to have a
ring or charm made.
A few miles west of Washington a
man may see several small mines.
some in operation and some aban-
doned. Great areas of gold-bearing
rock have been uncovered or blocked
out. Gold is obtained, but in many
instances it has cost more to extract
it than the gold was worth.
At present there is one mine in
which extensive operations are being
carried on, and though the operators
do not talk for publication, the belief
is general that they are making a
good profit from the mine.-Technical

TO ADVERTISE OLD
OREGON
PORTLAND MAKING AN EFFORT
THAT MAY BE WELL FOLLOWED
BY EVERY COMMUNITY IN THE
STATE, ASTORIA INCLUDED.

PORTLAND. Ore, Feb. 25.--Whilt
there Is large sum available from the
/ business men and property holders OF
/ Portland to advertise oregon through
the Joint work of the Portland Com
merclal Club and the oregon Develop
ment League, Mr.. Theodore B. Wilcox
| Chairman of the Executive Committee
Of the Club and President OF the Lea
/ que, has issued special appeal to the
915 members OF the Portland CONNER
club, asking for additional contri-
! buttons SO that large advertisements
may be run in the leading papers of
! the middle west which will not only
give the rates TO Portland and other
points in Oregon, but also contain a
statement relative TO agriculture, dai-
rying Iogged-off lands, fruits, wheat,
irrigation, reclamation fund, timber,
mines hops, nurseries, live stock and
poultry. II is hoped the response may
be immediate, so that twenty millions
of readers may be reached by March
18th.
In closing his appeal, Mr.. Wilcox
says: Pay something even II the a.
mount is small; we want your coopera-
ton as well as your money. The trend
Of immigration is this way; let's push
it hard and quick"
This advice applies to every COM
munity in the State kilograms are
being received from the general pas
senger agents Of all the railroads, say
ing that the colonists travel beginning
March 1st, and continuing until April
30th will be- larger than ever before.
Many Of the middle west lines as a
result Of the general interest in Ore
gOn, are giving this State prominent
mention, but each community must do
individual work and add to the enor-
nous correspondence going out now
from the teachers and pupils, and have
all organizations write TO acquaintan-
ces and friends in the older states so
that they may take advantage Of the
opportunity to get to this State on thhe
colonist rates
Mr.. E. L. Lomax, General Passen-
eral Passenger Agent Of the Northern
at Omaha, and Mr.. A. NJ. Cleland, Cen
ger Agent of the Union Pacific Railroad
Pacific Railway at st. Paul send ur-
gent requests that each and every COM
mercial and industrial body in Oregon
send them at once packages of adver-
tising matter to be distributed to per-
sons inquiring about oregon.
The success Of the immigration move
ment Is largely due to the newspapers
for the reason that they have given
the subject much attention and all citi- |
zens Of the State are becoming faml- |
lar with the conditions upon which
people can come here.
