bristled with logic and fact; was broad
in scope and illustrative of all that

present is. and what its future posi-
bilities will be when it receives the
advantages due it from cooperation of
community education--in other words.
the support of the home. society, the
individual and the community in gen.
eral. He paid splendid tribute to the
Commercial Association and held Its
interest taken in school work in high
regard.
State Superintendent Alderman, in
his usual pleasant manner, gave a
characteristic address on educational
matters. His theme was for the pa
rent and teacher to get closer together.
II no other way for acquaintance was
presented, be suggested that the parent
get up chicken dinner and invite the
teacher to the home, a suggestion that
brought forth comment from the irri-
pressitle Mr.. Brotherton. Mr.. Acker-
man closed his interesting lecture with
the affirmation that the school cannot
rise above the home; that You could
have any kind of school you want; i;
the standard, be 1t high or low, is to
be found on the basis of what the
home is.
Attorney H. /. Watts presided at
the meeting and introduced the speak
ers, one of whom, DR.. Sisson. said he
could overlook Mr.. Watts catering
remarks. inasmuch as both he aud Mr.
Watts were Harvard graduates.

TWO INTERESTING LECTURES
DR.. Sisson and ]. Il. Ackerman Here
Last Night.

While educational interest centers
this week in the annual meeting of the
State Teachers Association at Pendle-
ton, Athena was by no means over
looked. and the audience at the M.
3. church last night had the pleasure
of listening to two of the most inter
esting and instructive addresses on
the public school question ever deliv-
cred in the city.
The speakers were DR.. E. o. Sisson
of the University of Washington. and
State Superintendent Alderman. That
Athena people had the opportunity
of hearing these two prominent edu-
Gators was due to the fact that they
were in attendance upon the Associa-
tion meetings at Pendleton. and on
invitation. consented to come here.
Owing to the short time in which to
make announcements, the audience

Selling Output Well Ahead.

The American Smelling and Re-
fining company is sold ahead until
the middle of September and the Uni
ted Metals Selling company Is about
the only agency with any nearby
metal in quantity for sale. though
recent sales by that company have
sayes the Wall Street journal.
Those who distribute copper re-
port that the domestic demand Is I'M
abated. The electric companies re-
port business up to nearly normal,
and every decline of a quarter of a
cent a pound opens new channels for
consumption heretofore closed by
higher metal prices. Production for
July is expected to show somewhat
of a falling off from June figures of
1877 ,210, 900 pounds, which represent
the highest average per diem outturn
for any month since the producers
began making their figures public.
The indicated exports for July are
about $4,000 900 pounds, so that
with domestic deliveies up to the 3d.
600, goo pounds of last month, and
with even a small decrease in pro-
uuctlOn, the increase III STOCKS lot
the month will be small.
Unusual activity in the London
warrant market has been the feature
of the copper situation of late. From
the 18th to the 22nd of July $4,000
tons or $1,000, 900 pounds, of the
metal were sold, driving the price for
spot down f2 a ton to f52 12s Cd,
whence 1t reacted to 954 6s Sd. The
selling was by tired longs and by
holders of the metal on this side who
disposed of a part of their surplus
abroad in order not to demoralize the
home market.
Consumers are coming to the view
point hat 12k cents represents a
bottom level for the metal, and IL the
curtailment plans become somewhat
more definite, II is likely, in view of
the understocked condition of users
of copper, hat a buying movement
will set in that will go a long way to-
ward clearing up the situation.

Wise Men of the West

Office consultations and money sub
criptions.
Mr.. Jackling has given no demon
stration by which his ability as a
public speaker can be gagged. Per-
sons who have enjoyed his hospitality
or been In his company at banquets,
agree that he Is a delightful host and
an entertaining a~fter-dinner orator.
During business hours this NEGRO
mancer Of the mines Is brief in his
remarks and somewhat brusque in
his His perception is so
quick and his comprehension so
keen that he has no occasion to wait
for long explanations. Business
visitors to his office frequently are
| disconnected when he interrupts a
labored statement with an answer
which shows he has grasped all the
visitor intended to say, as well as all
that has been said. Oftentimes he
will take a question out of the
mouth of a subordinate, express 1t
more incisiyely, and give the answer
hot from the bat.
The rapidity with which he goes to
the heart of every proposition and
throws the spot light on its weakest
points Is said to be almost uncanny.
In the Al years since he began his
terrestrial engagement at Appleton,
Mo-, Mr.. Jackling has had lots of
fun, for he has always found lots of
work to do. Work is his amusement.
1t is not hard for those who know
him to believe that, as a boy, he
would play hockey from a baseball
game to carry sticks into the wood
shed.
He does not play golf, cards or
billiards to any extent. He rather
likes motoring, having first acquired
the habit through his daily rides to
Bingham, when he first began to
make a mole-hill out of a mountain.
Although he has a large and well
selected library he INDUCES but little
in general reading and not at all in
desultory reading. When a book is
in his hands 1t is a ten-to-one bet
that it is a technical work dealing
with some problem of the moment.
The only literature to which he gives
regular attention is that Of the daily
press. He reads the newspapers

of the follower; it only hampers the
steps of the pathfinder.
Jackling is a pioneer. He created
his own problems and he had to an
swer them himself without the aid
of presidents. In solving the dis
seminated copper problem he was
Obliged t devise new methods of
mining. and then new methods of
milling, with knotty questions of
finance, power and transportation as
side issues. The most important OF
the new methods he worked out him
self; he suggested other solutions to
subordinates who perfected the de-
Only in late years has he been able
to devote much attention to the stock
markets. To this department he
the clear and foreeful mental
ity that has triumphed over so many
physical obstacles and he may be re-
lied upon to make markets as he has
made mines.
