There was only a small run of sheep
in the local yards today and trade
conditions are therefore in a very
good position. While the small run
continues there is little chance of any
serious mishap to prices. In view of
the improvement in the sheep situati-
on in the east, it is not likely that To-
cal conditions will vary much-at
least while the small run is on.
The sheep that came forward to
North Portland today were not Of

Drowned at the Cotton Mill.

A heart rending accident occur
ed Saturday morning in the vici-
nifty of the cotton mill. In close
proximity to the dwellings of
the operatives, is pond of some
twentv feet deep. On the fatal
morning Duff Davis, son of
Mr.. Jasper Davis, and about tif-
teen years old accompanied by
three other companions, went to
the pond to take a bath. While
there they got into frail skiff,
and began to disport themselves
by diving from the boat. In the
midst of this sport, they rocked
the boat to such an extent that
it capslzed, turning all out. The
boys except Davis could swim.
He tried to save himself by seiz-
ing a floating plank, but to no
avail. The other boys were too
small to render him any assist.
ance. In a few seconds the boy
went under for the last time, and
drowned before the eyes of his
play mates. 1t was fully twenty
minutes before the boys gave
the alarm. having been SO frigh-
ened at the awful sight. The
father of the boy was IN town at
the time of the accident, but hur-
ried home on being apprlsed of
the sad affair. The body was
recovered in short time after
the occurance. On Sunday the
remains were carried to Double
Springs where the burial took
place, at the family cemetery.

COLLEGE MEN WHO FAIL
kANa.

In every college there is a class Of
never-do-weIls, generally composed of
the sons of the rich. They go to col
1ege for the life there, to take Part in
social festivities, ETC., and they care
very little about study, College is to
them merely an excuse for persuading
their parents to permit them to spend
four years in riotous laziness. At
some colleges there are special cours-
es, 'easy courses for such pupils.
The college is not to be blamed for
the inherent weakness of those men,
although blame does attach to them
for permitting students to waste their
opportunities and their time. The
smaller colleges are much more care
full OF the morals of those in attend
ance than are the great universities,
where students are supposed to have
reached the age Of discretion, says
the Charlton News and Courier. Dis
cfpline in the universities is largely
question of surroundings. Professors
are there to teach, not to spend their
time In enforcing discipline. The re-
suit is bad, not because the older men
are unable to govern themselves, but
because so many parents insist on
sending mere boys to universities
Where they ought to be sent, is to the
small college, finishing their work, If
need be, at the university, when they
have had enough experience to appre-
ciate freedom from rigid control and
to know how to manage themselves.
To send a boy Of 18 to a university
where the vast majority OF those in
attendance are grown men is to in
vite his ruin.

WHEN MEAT is COSTLY
SEVERAL WAYS IN WHICH CHEAP
CUTS CAN BE PREPARED.
Mock Chicken and Beef Loaf Made
From Round stezk-Breakfast Dish
Of Liver and Pork-Msat

Here are some ways in which cheap
cuts Of meat can be prepared:
Mock chicken.-One and 3 half
pounds of round steak, cut into small
pieces about two inches square; roll
in -four, put in roasting pan and fry in
butter till brown. Then remove from
stove, cover with cold water, add q
little -four, set in the oven and sim
mer for three hours; stir occasionally,
and add more water as needed to keep
the meat covered When the meat Is
cooked it tastes surprisingly like
chicken. Thicker the gravy more If
necessary. Add salt about an hour Be-
fore it is done
Beef Losf.-Three pounds round
steak, one-half pound salt pork. four
or five soda crackers, one-half cup OF
milk Add more salt If desired Sea
son with one-half teaspoon of ground
sage. or Glove or garlic, or few drops
OF onion extract Mix into a loaf and
bake in oven Basic occasionally
Breakfast Dish.-Take five cents
worth Of liver and ten cents worth
of a cheap cut of pork and put in
kettle together; cover with four quarts
Of water, cook slowly for an hour, salt
after 1t has commenced to boil, and
stir occasionally. Drain on half Of the
liquid and use for soup stock; it is
splendid. Place the remainder on the
fire and stir in enough yellow corn
meal to make as thick as mush- Run
the pork and liver through a meat
chopper, or chop fine Season with
more salt, sage and pepper, and stir
into the meal mush. Turn out into
pan and set in a cool place Fry for
breakfasts; it viii keep for a week
Meat Pie.-Get a ten-cent neck cut
Of meat; trim, place in kettle, cover
with cold water, let come to a boil.
then simmer till done, keeping the
same amount of water on it When
1t is cooked, remove the meat, break
it up in small pieces, season and
cover with stock Thicker with flour.
Then pour the mixture in a basin
Make a dough as follows: Two cups
flour, one heaping teaspoon Of baking
powder, a pinch of salt, three round
ing tablespoons of lard, or butter; mix
well together add enough milk TO
, make a dough that can be shaped
with the hands, press into a fat shape
} and cover the meat in the basin Bake
until done, about half OF three-quar-
/ tiers of an hour Half of the amount
/ OF meat and stock will be enough for
/ four people If all of the meat and
stock is used. double the quantities
} for the dough If only half OF the
meat is used, the balance may be
made into meat cakes for breakfast
OF luncheon as follows: Chop the
meat, roll three crackers. chop one
small onion, salt and pepper to taste,
( one tablespoon of butter and one
/ egg. Beat the egg without separating,
melt the butter, mix all together,

It has long been a favorite that
girls are smarter than boys, especial
~ in school and college. DR.. Taylor,
president of Vassar, explains the rea-
son. ''Wemen," he says, 'go to col
Iege to learn; men do not. While q
good many men do succeed, there are
many more who are interested in
sport, and even those who do study
do not take any pride in letting the
others know they are working. Girls
are conscientious; they are far more
Inundated by failure than men," DR..
Taylor admits there are physiological
reasons why the girl is smarter than
the man at the college age, says the
New York American. But it is also
probable that the restrictions i'm
posed on girls in the past have tended
to make them concentrate attention
on their studies. College men have
as many interests as their inclina-
tions prefer; it is usually not until
after they graduate that they settle
down to making a living. Meanwhile
they can afford to yield the palm tc
their sisters for superiority in youth

by using care not TO reduce the sur
face of the field TO a finely pulverized
condition, fall and winter blowing can
be done with little or no danger OF
blowing.
In preparing the soil for any kind
of planting the blowing should be done
as long ahead of seeding time as pos
sible within reasonable limits. There
fore, fall blowing is best, winter plow-
ing next best early spring blowing
next, and late blowing for corn the
worst, other things being equal
While early, prompt and correct
work is required in preparing the field
for corn, one should not yield to the
temptation to pillow or list or do any
other soil work when the ground is
wet Stock should not be permitted
to trample a field when it is muddy.
Such practices cost much more than
they earn Pudding destroys humus
and organic matter and retards the
development of mineral elements.
Sometimes this is noticeable for sew
eral years where the soil is not plen
tiful1y supplied with lime
The disc harrow has simplifed and
made possible a preliminary working
of the surface OF the cornfieId. which
should always be done before either
the plow or the lister is used. Ply
carefully tapping the disc one-half, a
thorough and uniform job is done.
When this finely pulYerized surface is
turned under it affords a perfect at
tachment of the right texture to the
subsoiI, and thus capillary action is
at once re-established, and all the
benefits of blowing are utilized, while
the disadvantages of slices OF hard
surface soil, large air spaces and de
stroyed capillary action ars all en-
! tirely avoided.
If the ground is to be spring,
plowed a good stalk cutter should be
used. This thoroughly puIverizes
the stalks, after which the discing
should be done The blowing should
follow The ground should be lap
narrowed at the end of the days plow-
| ing and not permitted to become a
mass of clods through the needless
evaporation of the soil moisture. This
| leaves the ground in the proper con-
| dition to be rained down, preparatory
to the preparation of the seed-bed.

Platinum is taking pains to en-
phasize that it is more valuable than
gold, its price having gone up to SAB
per ounce. A quarter of a century
ago its price was practically the same
as that of gold, but its industrial and
scientific use has increased so as to
enhance its value. The rise In the
past six months has been SO per
ounce In 1906 it was up to $40. and
year later had dropped to $40. which
indicates speculative operations rath-
er more strongly than the depreciation
of gold.
