Could Not Cure Himself.

Something of the irony of fate is ex-
emplihed in an anecdote related by the
New York Times concerning Professor
Poirier, who until his recent death was
the most famous cancer expert in
France.
Professor Poirier gave much of his
time without pay to aiding poor people
afflicted with cancer. One day there
came to him a woman on whom he had
operated. and who feared the growth
was coming again.
Fear nothing said the physician
when he had made an examination. 1T
will be some years before you will need
fresh operation-which, by the way,
I shall not be able to perform"
But, doctor, you will not refuse tc
treat me?'
"No, my poor woman, but | shall not
be there to do 1t. l also have cancer
and 1t will be more rapid than
YOURS"

President Eliot, In an address before
the Fortnightly Club in Chicago, said
that In the education Of children the
old practice was to set before them the
tasks that were hardest for them, but
that the modern method is to give them
the sort Of education they desire and in
which they are able to excel These are
sound ideas and, when properly quail
fed, are Of the greatest Importance.
There are two separate principles In
volved in them-one in respect to the
child's maturity and the other in re-
spect to his mental bent Every ole
will admit that the human mind passes
from concrete to abstract ideas. and
that the power of abstract thinking
hardly belongs to childhood at ALL 1t
Is clear, therefore, that the imposition
Of abstract studies on young children
Is not only useless but discouraging and
hurtful. English grammar is type OF
this kind Of study. A celebrated pro
lessor In Southern university used to
lecture a month every year on the dis
unction between a noun and verb.
Certainly the discrimination between
the parts of speech and the different
moods and lenses Of the verb Is per-
Torrance for which very few adults are
prepared Yet this was formerly one
Of the first studies taken up in the p-i-
mary schools. Just as bad is the prac-
tice, wherever 1t exists, OF ignoring the
bent Of child's mind. His mind ma y
be that Of a mechanic, a mathematician,
naturalist, historian, poet or a
physicist. President Eliot says the
modern practice Is to take advantage OF
this bent, wba tever it may be. And it
Is to be hoped that this is the practice.
President Eliot no doubt believes that
these principles can be followed without
total or even an Injurious neglect Of
mental discipline. A child's powers
ought to be called into play as fast as
they develop, and certainly at some
sta &c he must be required to make
mental effort which goes against the
grain. Otherwise he will be unneces-
sarily narrow minded and poorly edu-
Gated. But the leading idea in the edu
cation of children should be that due
regard must be paid to their stage uf
development and their peculiar talents
and bent of mind.

cit is probable that there is no place
in the United States where the prices
for pork products average as high AZ
in the Pacific Northwest. A condition
of significance, too, is that the people
of this region are not sufficiently alive
to the necessity of their meeting tho
demand for pork products. Those who
are in the business are making money.
Conditions are improving, however, for
at the present time we note a growing
tendency among farmers to pay more
attention to this business. The Rerk-

opinion, although the Duroc Jerseys are
making some Roadway. At the expert
ment station we have about concluded
that cross Of these two breeds would

Our Lease

The map above shows the ex-
act location of the Portland Florence
Mining and Leasing Companys lease
on the Florence mine.
The lease is equipped with a 25-
horse power electric hoist and all
necessary machinery and tools for
operating the property.
The shaft has been sunk to a depth
Of 260 feet and is as favorably located
as any Of the big producing leases.
There are three veins crossing this
block OF ground and a few months Of
systematic work should develop an
ore chute equal to the best in the dis
trict This ground has not been
prospected and there Is no reason why

this most wonderful camp.
Three out Of every four leases on
this map have been big dividend pay
ers. The value OF these pay chutes
vary from 500 per ton up into the
thousands. Now take for illustration,
should we only find our pay chutes
carry 800 values and we were TAX
ing out the low amount OF fifty tons
daily, we would have, after paying
our royalty and all the expenses of
mining, freight and smelling, a net
profit OF $4,000 per day. But let US
take an average valuation Of $500
per ton with a production of so tons
per day and what is the result? Just
10000 per day. Now you can un-
derstand why in Goldfleld they talk
Of millions only.
We don't guarantee anything, but
we do say that We are in this busl-
ness to make money out OF the pro-
duction Of ore and not by stock job
bing in any way, and furthermore,
our chances are better than three out
OF four Of making good on the lease
and We still have our 100 acres OF |
ground splendidly located and right !
in the midst Of good paying mines.
We invite you to join with us in
this enterprise, remember a strike |
