DEMAND FOR YOUNG MEN.

Mr.. Edison takes a deep interest in
young men and offers them much en-
couragement. To-day is youths
zenith in this great country" Is the
way he cheers them on.
"The United States is starving for
thousand men. Corpora
tions are actually clamoring for them;
and the younger the better. But the
man today must be technically edu-
Gated. Modern Industrial financial
and commercial conditions are more
complicated than ever before and 1t
takes a trained mind and level head
to get to the front.
"The demand for educated men,
chaps that have brains, exceeds any
thing I have ever known. They are
doing the work, too; that's why more
are wanted So now is the time for
the man who is going to make some-
thing of himself to get busy. If he
is any good he won't be out of job
long; not much. There is entirely
too much work and too few of the
right kind of persons to do it.
"If you don't believe it, take a peep
into the gigantic plant of a concern
like the Bethlehem Steel company.
Yes, sir, we are starving for brains
or en-thousand-dollar men. if that
way of putting 1t appeals more
strongly to the young American in
stinct. Success Magazine.

GEER'S ONLY SUPPORTER.

The Harvey County News of Burns,
which is edited by Frank Davey, the
"carpetbagger" register of the Burns
land office, is the only paper except
Mr.. Geer's Pendleton Tribune, in the
eastern Oregon congressional district
that is openly supporting the can
didacy of T. T. Geer for congress.
Geer and Davey are in the same
boat and Davey must support Geer,
no matter how unjust or unfair to
pioneer residents of eastern Oregon
such support may be. Davey came
up from Willamette valley less than
year and a half ago and is now
holding the best federal position in
Harvey county-that of register of
the United States land office.
Geer came up from willamette
valley less than a year and half ago
and is now seeking to get into the
best office in eastern Oregon.
No wonder the News is for Mr..
Geer. Davey must support Geer to
justify his own appointment to the
land office job over the heads of doz-
ems of pioneer residents of Harvey
county who were entitled to the place
by every rule of fair politics.
Davey will find little cooperation
in his support of Mr.. Geer among the
voters of Harvey county who were
imposed upon by the importation of
Davey from Salem to take over the
best job in Harvey county. The sup
porters of Congressman Ellis in Har-
ney county will stand Loyalty by him
in spite Of the miniature Geer boom
by the Harney County News.
"Carpetbagging" has always been
considered a most reprehensible polit-
ical act in the day Of political inde-
pendence, and should be emphatical-
ly opposed by every fair-minded
voter.
Let every man earn his spurs.

GOOD DEPOSITORY LAW.

The Eugene Guard says of the
working of the state depository law
of Idaho and of the safety and bene-
fits which such law would bring
to Oregon:
While oregon is having no end of
trouble with its state funds the
young state Of Idaho seems to have
solved the problem by the enactment
of good state depository law.
Reports from state Treasurer Hast
ings on the results achieved by this
law are ample proof of the wisdom
of its enactment The law went into
effect on February II, 1905, and the
comparative statement for the last
/ two years shows that the returns to
the state have been practically dou-
bled. In 1906 the returns on interest
on state deposits were $926I69, and
during the last year these have been
Increased to $1S,226.94. a
The state of Idaho is now doing
business with IS banks and the rate
of interest paid for the use of the
money is 31k per cent.
This money is well distributed
throughout the state and there is no
favoritism in the distribution The
law. is working smoothly and with
benefit to the people of the state.
1t is estimated that in the next
biennium the state revenue will be
augmented from $4,000 to $4,000
from the operation of the depository
law
