twice have l heard this, that power
belongeth unto God" He was {
Christian philosopher.
The young people stand looking
down through the years ahead Of
them; years roseate with promise
One says: the world owes me a liv-
ing and | am not going to burden
myself with toll, but am going to
pick up the riches Of the world
wherever can get them in the lar
gest quantity and with the least eff.
fort and danger to myself. He is
criminal.
Another says: ! am going to
throw all my energies into an effort
to succeed. and | will count no labor
too great SO it brings me the veal tn
of world and enables me to procure
thereby the pleasures and good
things of life and buys for me favor
and preferment. He is selfish.
The third says: / want to follow
the path, however hard. that will
help me to most perfectly develop
all my capabilities and thus enable
me to live the largest kind of life
and to do most good to the greatest
number of my fellows. Heis aItru-
istic.
Thus success does not depend on
securing riches, without regard to
the method Of securing them; which
is criminal, nor in securing riches
without regard to how we use them
which is selfish; but in doing our best
to fulfil the purpose Of our creation.
Two brothers started out to make
a place for themselves in the world.
One said: Come and join me in max
ing railroad cars and you will make
more money. The other said: Mon

millionaire; but he said to his broth

was mistaken; you have lived the
life worth while.
So II you young people are going
to succeed, yen must get clear in
mind just what success means.
And remember that your success

more than probable that the far
mers of our county would have good
cause to rue the day that their or
chards and grain fields are placed
at the mercy of a band Of elk who
may prefer a cultivated brand Of
fodder.
While we have a considerable
amount of state land. it is not Of
sufficient extent, nor has it enough
valleys of good pasture to hold
these animals within its area and
prevent them poaching on adjoin-
ing farms. l have hunted elk in the
Olympics when our party camped
on the trail of band of elk for
four days consecutively. and each
day saw us up early and going till
dark. This will give some idea of
the extent Of their range and l
would urge the board to go slow in
this matter. While most of us are
eager for better sport in the way of
hunting, let us not make a sacrifice
of our fruit and trees to encourage
it, rather let us spend the money in
the game protection fund in stock

leave the elk to more suitable ranges
such as the Cascade and Olympic
mountains.

individual who succeeds most is the
on who does many things that most
people think impossible. Then, at
ter you have determined what is
most worth while, to do, determine
you are going to do it. The follow
ing lines are pertinent to this
thought:
Somebody said that it couldn't be
done,
But he, with chuckle replied:
Well, maybe it couldn't, but be
would be one
That wouldn't say so till he'd
tried.
So he buckled in with trace Of a
grin
On his face, if he worried he hid
it;
And he started to sing as he tackled
the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did
it.
Somebody scoffed: All you'll never
do that.
At least no one ever has
done it;
But he took of his coat, and he took
off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd
begun it,
With q lift Of the chin and q trace
| of grin,
Without any doubtings or quiddit-
And he started to sing as he tackled
the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did
it.
There are thousands to tell you It
cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophecy
failure;
There are thousands to point out to
you one by one
The dangers that wait to assail
you.
But just buckle in, with a trace of
grin,
Lay off your coat and go to it.
And start in to sing as you tackle
the thing
That cannot be done, and you'll do
it.
Now, to succeed, you must be
something more than dreamer, or
you must be dreamer with your
eyes wide open and every faculty
alert and every power in action, to
bring your best dreams to fulflment
and reduce them to concrete form
so society can make practical use
of them. Edison works from four
teen to twenty hours day to clothe
his dreams in wood and metal and
glass and make them stand out be-
fore us and challenge the world to
come. and handle them and see that
they are not all dream.
Then you must be something more
than a theorist. Ones mind maybe
as full of theories as the air is full
of curves and angles and planes
and geometric figures. but it takes
someone to reach out and bring
them to our view. So your theories
may remain in mental solution; you
can't live in the plan Of house or
ride on the mental conception Of q
railroad car, or fly In the descrip-
tion of an aeroplane. But when
the plan of the house is realized in
wood. stone and brick, you can
move in and be comfortably housed
So your executive faculties must
keep pace with you imagination and
your mental concepts must be con-
reduced to concrete form to
see if they be worth bothering WITH
Then you must have something
more than an opinion to succeed.
Opinions are plentiful and cheap:
they drop from the mental shubbery
of the world like leaves from for
est trees; you can gather them up
Wherever you can
find people you can find opinions
You don't need to study or be edu-
Gated. o. even have character. to
have an opinion. The miner wash

fore be finds one gold nugget; but
