Lund's Office Sold

On Wednesday last Deputy Sheriff
Byars sold the Office effects Of Philip
Lunde to satisfy judgment obtained
for rent and assigned to Joe Michel
eta. The highest bidder was j. c.
Gleysteen, who is now in possession
of the sheriffs bill of sale.
About the first of the year Philip
Lunde went to Seattle, to be gone
several days. he said. After the
course of couple of week. x began
TO be rumored that Lunde has disap-
reared permanently. 1t was the in
tention of Mr.. Micheletta, who had
obtained an assignment of small
judgment against him to protect the
office fixtures against the day that he
would return. but on account of his
absence this plan was dropped.
Mr.. Lunde was hustler and
would have made good had things
kept coming. He discounted the flu
ture so heavily, however, that slow
business left him in debt. Because
of a deficit with the German Alliance
company, as we'll as on account of
several breaches of confidence to-
ward confiding customers, 1t is the
opinion of many that he has shipped
out of the Countryside Elum Echo.

HITS HARD

it's plea on the benevolent excuse
that it's first wish was to protect
the American. workingman."
Louis d. Brandeis. citing figures
from the Federal Bureau of Statis-
tics, says Under the guise of pro-
tecting American workingmen J. p.
Morgan and the owners of the steel
trust have subjected the laborer to
grossly excessive toll and deprived
him of his liberty. In England steel
laborers work only SIS hours a week,
while in this country they average
~ hours a week. About a third
work more than 70 hours, and a
fourth work ~ hours a day and
seven days a week, with an occa-
sional 24-hour day when shift is
made. To work men this way not
only makes them old at forty but
necessarily degenerates the race.

CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE RESOLVES

At special meeting of the cham
Der of commerce held Saturday even
ing, the following resolutions were
adopted requesting the Seattle port
commission to include grain elevators
and cold storage warehouses for
fruit in the proposition of docks and
terminals to be submitted to the
people in March:
I'VE believe that any movement
to improve the transportation and
the marketing facilities of the agri-
cultural communities of this state
must result in direct benefit to the
state as whole, and to the port Of
Seattle; and further, that If such ia
cilities for the proper care of fruit
and food products in transit are not
provided at Seattle, such shipments
will of necessity be diverted to ports
where such facilities are obtainable,
therefore be it
Resolved, That the plan Of the
commission to construct a municip-
ally owned deep sea dock, cold
storage plant and grain elevators be
adhered to and not abandoned in
favor of any plan that does not pro-
vide for these features"

MAGAZINES SUSPEND
FOR WANT OF HELP

Five magazines of national promi-
nence which had wide circulation,
have discontinued publication in the
last few months. The magazines re-
ferred to are Human Life, Success,
National Post. Hampton's Magazine
and The Columbian, the last two
having been amalgamated. The
gradual tendency OF great adver-
tisers to draw away from the maya
zines and do business with the
newspaper is ascribed for the fail
ure of the periodicals.
In the east a vigorous conflict fs
going on between newspapers and
magazines to convince the public as
to which is the superior advertising
medium. With very few exceptions,
the newspapers seem to be getting
the best of the contest.

lege, Pullman, Washington
Before Plato's time, much atten-
ton was given to the education of
the hand as we'll as the head: The
great works of agriculture, sculp-
ture and mural paintings, prove this.
But Plato became the chief exponent
of the thought that all education
should be abstract-of the head and
thinking facilities alone. Follow
his teachings there was decline and
eclipse of human knowledge until
the dark ages swept over the entire
world.
Education then was an attempt to
fit the whole number of the educated
learned professions; the law, med
icine, the church or pedagogy. Not
more than one per cent of the people
can find a place in these professions.
Hence, such a plan of education ne
elected the educational needs of
ninety-nine per cent of the people.
Carlyle said Man without tools is
savage-is nothing; with them he
IS everything. Man is a tool-using
wise them, with the tool the granite
mountain melts into dust before him;
he kneads iron as if it were soft
paste seas are his smooth highways,
and wind and fire his unwearying
steeds."
Macaulay in one of his finest per-
iods shows the value of tools to man.
In Rotterdam, where manual train
ing has been in use for forty years,
the results show that the boy who
spends one-half his school day at the
bench keeps pace in mental develop
ment and education with the boy
" hose whole school day is spent in
study alone. The recent session of
the national educational association,
which met in San Francisco in July,
after bordering the subject for days,
announced that mechanic arts,
agriculture and household science
should be recognized as rational ele-
ments in the education of all boys
and girls, and especially of those who
have not yet chosen their vocation"

BANK GUARANTEE
GREAT SUCCESS

Operation of the bank deposits
guaranty law in Nebraska has failed
to result in panics, business chaos
and bank failures, as its opponents
predicted when it was made feat
ure OF the National Democratic
platform in 1908. There was no
bank failure in Nebraska last year.
What the law accomplished was
more and better business for the
banks. The money on deposit in the
669 state banks was increased last
year over the year before by ST.
2O9,674.35. The reserve on hand
is 81 per cent, or per cent more
than a year ago The law accom-
plished an increase in the banks op-
portunities for profit because of in
creased deposits. Then it made the
banks more immune from invasion
upon the legal reserve, due to the
fact that the depositors knew their
money was absolutely safe. and
were not so anxious to draw it out
as heretofore. Last but not least.
no depositor ran the risk of losing
a penny of his savings.
