MILWAUKEE EXHIBIT CAR.

The exhibit car of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railway was park
ed near the Manchester & Oneida de-
pot in Manchester Thursday night
and Friday, leaving the following
morning for points north on the COM
pany's lines. The immigration de-
partment of the Milwaukee is spon-
sor for the work conducted by o. D.
Tibbetts, who is in charge of the ex-
hibition.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Tib-
belts, representative of The Demo-
crat was shown through the well ar
ranged exhibits, which include fruits
and vegetables from the states ira
versed by the Pacific coast line ex-
tension. The glass jars containing
Strawberries, peaches, cherries and
grapes were of interest, as the sam
pies shown were of more than ordi-
nary size. The grains were promi-
nent feature Of the car, and a repre-
sentation Of an eagle, made from
grasses and wheats, mounted on a
large shield, about six feet in height,
attracted considerable attention
among the Manchester people who
visited the car during the day. 1t
was made by L. A. Alden of Lewis
ton, Idaho.
Many of the exhibits were collect
ed from the country adjoining the
towns Round Up, Musselshell and
Lewiston. The coal mines operated
for the exclusive use Of the Milwau-
kee railway near Round Up. and
which deliver an output of between
600 and TOO tons Of coal day, We're
advertised by pamphlets. photographs
and specimens of the ore. The Mon
tana grasses are very nutritious, and
as an evidence of this fact, seven
hundred head of steers were recent
lily sold at $S5 each, after being rails
ed on nothing but Buffalo grass. Al
falfa is grown extensively, and an
excellent quality of corn is raised in
Idaho and western Dakota.
The great natural resources to be
found in the Northwest have drawn
thousands of middle-west farmers and
homeseekers, and the vivid colored
pictures, drawn by the railways,
whose trunk lines extend far into
this land Of plenty, have induced
many to invest their money in farms
and ranches in western Montana and
eastern Washington. This newly de-
veloped empire produces all kinds OF

EDUCATION AND OCCUPATION.

Here are some Interesting facts per-
tanning 10 education and occupation
furnished by Mr.. George B. Hodge, in
ternational educational secretary of
the Y. NJ. c. A, of New York city:
"Of all boys who have remained in
school until II years of age, fourfif
years Older OF every 100 young men
on the continent, only five are prepared
and equipped by education for their
occupation and business-ninety- five
are not. OF every 100 grammar scAOOl
graduates, eight obtain their livelihood
in the professions and business, trained
for their vocations by means of COL
lege and university privileges. The
other 80 earl their livelihood by means
of their hands"
Whether these figures would hold in
a local summary of educational and
occupational conditions 1t would he
difficult to say. but that they indicate
general conditions which prevail here
as elsewhere, appeals to everyone of
casual observation as the truth. re-
marks the Portland Telegram The dis
crepancy between the character of ed
ucation and the demands of occupation
is one of the most patent and at the
same time one of the most significant
facts which points to the educational
reform involved in the establishment oc
manual training schools
This is really the gist of the whole
business. We may trace to it the vast
number of misfit young men who are
launched into the hard, practical
money earning days of life, along av-
enues that are overcrowded by those
who know what has been taught them
in the schools, but which is best de-
scribed under the general term of
skill of hand and by lack of specializa-
ton very little of brain. 1t is more by
chance than by the exercise of any set
of trained faculties that they make
their way at all.
1t will be found. the more we go into
tits matter of Industrial education
that there is no defense for the con-
tinuance of the present system. with
out giving the average boy a better
chance with his more fortunate school
mate, who is provided with opportu-
nifty for entering a profession or en-
gaging in a higher technical calling.
No community can do better than to
consider this matter seriously, and,
following that, to act for the benefit
of the average boy. and especially so
when the occasion offers as it does
just now in Portland. We must not let
so of this industrial education idea
until it becomes the fact in the best
significaAce Of the term.

CMATILLA'S BURIED TREASURE

In the recent stories of buried
treasure in the Milton and state line
district. Umatilla county newspaper
readers are reminded of the fable of
the buried treasure in the old Fourth
Readers, says the East Oregonian.
An old father dying, told his sons
that he left a fabulous treasure for
them buried on the old farm and i'm
mediately after the fathers death. the
sons began digging: They overturned
the farm to depth of many feet but
all their labor was unavailing. They
found no pot of gold. They then began
blowing and seeding and soon became
wealthy. when they learned their dy-
ing fathers meaning.
So with Unlatilla county. The
stories of fabulous treasures buried in
the Milton district are thought to be
myths. but there is a buried treasure
there-ahd the fruitgrowers. the ber-
ry growers, the alfalfa farmers. the
stookmen and orchardists are finding
If every year.

(By Henry Clews.)

NEW YORK, Jan. -10.-The year

in a sober frame of mind and gener-
ally anticipating some trade reaction.
This is due to recognition of the fact
that the liquidation and adjustment
which mas taken place in the stock

and while nobody expects such a Sc

has taken place in Wall street, still it
is now admitted that the mercantile
credit situation is badly strained and
that lower level for commodities
must be attained before general bust
ness can show any substantial tend
ency toward recovery. That the pro-

BURTON, Jan. 10.-Bruce and Ho-
mer Hall, 10 and IL years old re-
spectively, sons Of Charles W. Hall,
had trying experience in the dense
forest on the lower end of Vashon
Island Saturday night when they lost
their way and had given up getting
home until daybreak. They left home
in the morning In search Of a cow.
When the youngsters did not return
by dusk. their father organized ( a
posse and an earnest search was in
stituted.
With lanterns the neighbors secured
the woods and half the night the cries
of the searchers sounded through the
forest. At last, toward midnight, they
heard the barking of the dogs that had
accompanied the boys. Following this
it took more than an hour to reach
the youths because of the density of
the underbrush.
When found. the little fellows said
they had made up their minds to await
the coming of morning where they
! were. They feared to press on be-
