BURIED DEEP IN SNOW.
Miner Owes His Life to Keen Scent
of Dog.

SEWARD, Alaska. April 5.-St. Clair
McCleary. a miner. buried deep under a
snowslide, owes his life to the keen scent
of his dog. according to news which has
reached here from the Haugan copper
property.
The snowslide swept down the noun
tain March %. -Four men were at work
on the property and were caught without
warning and buried under several feet OF
snow and debris. Two managed to es-
capa without serious injury. So deep was
the slide. however. that difficulty was ex-
perienced in reaching the others. Finally
the keen scent Of the dog led the rescuers
to a place several yards distant. where
after hard digging, they came on the
men, who had been buried eight hours.
Thomas Coales was dead under the icy
weight. McCleary was barely alive when
taken out.

Engineers Have Competition.

The College OF Engineering is the
largest OF the university colleges at Ur-
bana dts graduates have to face fierce
competition. The number OF graduates
of the twelve classes between 1897 and
1903, inclusive. was 955. 1ney are scat
tered over the whole world. Information
has been obtained from 63 per cent or the
total number. OF those giving lnforma-
ton only 3.S per cent were at the time
out of employment. About 80 per cent
of those who reported are employed IN
engineering work Complete returns in
regard to the salaries of these men nave
not yet been obtained, but the average
salary of 3O4 of the engineers, however,
was $1,740
prof. Ernest Berg, head of the depart
ment of electrical engineering, who has
been for years engaged in practical cleo
trcal engineering work, says: seventeen
years ago, when l entered the field of
electrical engineering. large. percentage
Of prominent men were not college grad
yates. 1t was evident, however, even.at
that time, that in acquiring new men
some preference was justly given to
those of college education. Within the
last few years I think it Is safe to say
that in the large electrical manufacturing
companies there is hardly chance for
a man to enter the electrical engineering
department unless he has not only col
lege education. but unless his standing
was considerably above the average.
There is a constant demand for high-class
college men, and in order to pick such
men the companies have arranged
student course in which a number of
the best graduates from the various uni
versities are given an opportunity to
show what they are worth. From their
college records and the records OF their
work in the students course. the men are
chosen for the different electrical engineer
ing departments
THE University of Illinois is gradu-
ating about fifty men annually from the
electrical engineering department. and
these are as well equipped as those from
the eastern universities In addition. we
give a graduating course which involves
advanced work of high order, and finally,
1t gives fellowships to the engineering
experiment station, where original re-
search work of very considerable import
anCe is carried on.

President Edmund ]. James Of the Uni
versity Of Illinois says there is a greater
demand for teachers OF agriculture than
the universities and agricultural colleges
OF the country can supply. There is an
equal demand for educated engineers and
chemists. also greater than can be sup
piled. A college education is being
recognized more ana more not only as a
useful but as an essential adjunct OF
business training. and that Is the way he
accounts for the extraordinary increase in
the number Of students at the University
Of Illinois and similar institutions.

President James. land the practical value
OF this kind Of education has been demon
strated beyond question. The feeling has
spread among the people that this is
field Of work in which the public schools
should share, and today agriculture is
being taught in some measure in the
schools of all grades below the college in
nearly every state. Illinois from the
first has taken the position that agricul-
ture Is study which should be taught
in the high schools, and this will result
in great mutual benefit to both the schools
and to agriculture,

Other Courses Offered.

1--WE offer courses in architectural engi-
cheering, electrical engineering. mechan-
ical engineering. mining engineering. mu-
nicipal and sanitary engineering and rail-
way engineering. A large proportion Of
the graduates Of these departments. APP
proxlmately 1.4OO men, are employed in
engineering enterprises. Only about 10
per cent of the entire number have LETT
the engineering field for other vocations.
THE attitude Of the engineering pro-
fession toward the University Of Illinois
graduates is favorable. For the benefit
Of employers and employees, the College
Of Engineering has recently opened an
employment and graduate record bureau.
In this undertaking we have the hearty
cooperation of graduates and employers.
The record of all graduates is kept, to-
gether with special file for men desir-
ing new positions. and all applications
for men. During the past six months
we have received demands for graduates
in excess of the output, especially in the
branch of railway engineering. College
of Engineering graduates, with the eX-
ception of architects, are not required to
take examinations for license to practice
the profession in the state. OF course,
in the case Of any engineering graduate
entering public service the usual civil
service examination is required.
1T may be interesting to note that the
average graduate of the College of En-
cheering has considerably more than
doubled his salary in the last ten years.

"A school Of ceramics was founded as

a demand for skilled men that most of
them have been induced to leave before
graduation. Only two have taken de-
grees, and both of them have positions
that have passed the twenty-fve-hun-

Three of the undergraduates. all of
whom expect to return to take their de-
grees, are receiving from $1,000 to $1,S0O.

asked young Spokane business
man. He was rather defiant toward
the friend who sought explanations.
The business man, it appears,
misplaced his latch key. He didn't
discover the loss until he reached
home. 1t wasn't very early. He
knocked, pounded and rang the bell.
No one came to the door.
Then he tapped on the pane of a
front window with his knife. He
was encouraged by sounds from the
other side of the curtain. He tapped
again. Suddenly there was a loud
explosion and revolver bullet
crashed perilously near his head.
He hurried to hotel.

resOlutely into a little Riverside
avenue restaurant the other day
and before she left she had shat
tered the nerves of a waiter and
damaged the trade considerably. In
answer to vigorous hammering of
feminine knuckles, the man in the

matter of fact it cost but $3.50.
The ground consists Of two lots
at the northwest corner of Queen
avenue and Cincinnati street in
kenwood, then owned by r. p.
krinele and his wife. The owners,
before the actual price to the city
was announced, freely told their
neighbors that they had sold to
the city for $3.50 and thought they
had made a good sale. And $3.50
was a good price, too.
Yet, in spite of the fact that
attention was directed to the eff
fort to gouge the city for $100-a
small sum in so far as the city hall
"perQuisites" go, the $1050 for the
Kenwood site was paid.
When Bourke was employed to
buy the land the mayor delivered
a eulogy on his honesty, integrity

STRIKE IS
FAILING
MANY UNIONS STRUCK FOR A
DAY, SIMPLY AS A
PROTEST.

(By United Press Leased Wire)
PHILADELPHIA, March 9-CnIy
the most radical of union leaders
and followers today will not con-
cede that the great general strike
here Is a failure.
Throughout the city it is practi-
cally acknowledged that the sym
pathetic strike designed to force
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit com.
pany to arbitrate it's differences
with it's car men has not proved
successful. The primary causes for
failure are attributed to the disin
clination of conservative unions tC
violate trade contracts and to the
prevalence of the open shop system
here. Labor organization like the
typographical unions insisted that
their members should not violate
ironclad contracts.
Many of the largest plants here
such as the Cramp ship yards ant
the Baldwin Locomotive works, are
not unioniZed and these were moi
affected by the central strike.
Moreover, it is conceded that
many union men struck simply as
a protest against the city admins
tration over it's attitude toward the
car strike and the labor question
generally. These men, it is said
now have returned to work satisfied
that they had done all that coult
be expected of them.
Many special police were with
drawn from duty today. This in
dicates that the city officials be
lieve the crisis has passed.

Finally, after jockeying over the
matter since November, the city
council last night passed the ordi-
nance creating a city purchasing
agent.
The place carries salary of
$4,000 per year. the position will be
filled by the mayor, subject to the
confirmation of the city council,
with the right of the council to re-
move by two-thirds vote. A sur

All heads of departments are to
report to the purchasing agent the
stock on hand when he enters Of
flee and he will have charge of all
supplies and act as city store
keeper.
All officers are to make an esti-
mate at the first of the year of the
amount of supplies of all kinds
needed during the year and shall
buy at least three months supplies
at a time.
