THE COUNTRY BOYS
ADVANTAGES

Country boys are coming into their
own, and their superiority is beinT
admitted and vouched for in WAYS
that cannot be controverted. The
United States civil service commits
sioners want 1000 young mon to
qualify fer positions as clerks and
carriers at the Chicago postoffice
and their experience is, in previous
examinations, that two-thirds of the
graduates of the Chicago grammar
school failed la the simple examina-
ticn, while the graduates of schools
in obscure communities passed with
cut difficulty. The country boy has
few distractions and he may pursue
his studies without interruption. With
him his lessons are the chief events
in his life. and he learns them well.
The city boy passes a few restless
Lours in the school room, and as soon
SIS he leaves he is out occupying his
mind with various forms of amuse
ment, and some of these amusements
are not entirely moral or uplifting.
The newspapers are sounding the
back to the farm" cry. while the
cities and great commercial enter
prises are calling for country young
men TO come and manage them

Paralysis of Mining Districts s''

One of the most profitable tasks to which the Fairbanks section of the American Mining congress can. deVote its attention and it's efforts is tAe in- Vention of a cure for what has come te be known as, the "paralYsis of miuins districts" It is subject that cannot be discussed too much until aremedT is found. The mining industry has progressed in the limited States during recent years at a. more rapid rate than, any other single industry, yet the stat. utes that govern mining have remained practically unchange& fer forty years. Amendment upon amendment has been proposed, but little has been accom- nlished beyond warm discussion.
 There are large areas of undeVelope6 mining land in the states to which patents have already seen issued and title passed from the United States government. For this there is perhaps no remedy. And yety. in westera Aus tralis, if an owner of mining ground fails to work his ground. the govern ment may step ia, lease the ground ts' an operator, ,eelleeb the proceeds of tss lease and hand them over to the owner The principle of such practice is shat it is to the interest of the state that it's resources should be developed and not be permitted to lie in idleneSs-
 In the early days of mining, a miner had the right to maintain possession of 8 mining claim only so long as he oper- ated it. Continuous operation and de velopment are theoretically at the basis of the right of g. eitizen to stake piece of mining groHad. How far the actual practice has departed from the theory is evident ia the immense areas of staked claims iH the immediate Vicin- ity of Fairbanks Gpo2 which only per functory assessments work iB done year ofter year, aud in many cases no work at all-the claimants being as clearly guilty Ot land frauds as any fraudulent claimant who has lever been sent to'a penitentisry.
 The least we should do is to require rigid inspection and supervision of an nual assessment work, and to pat an end to the present privilege of holding claims in idleness for practically two years after staking- It is subject to which the American Mining congress oouuld devote itself definitely and orcefully.-Fai2hanks Hines.

Mir. A. Murray returned Sunday night on the Ham bolds from his first visit to San Francisco foa a mum Der of years. He says, that the old town still bears marks of the fire that accom- panied the earthquake in 1906. Many large build ings have been built, but some of them are idle. Work has not yet begun on she Panama Exposition, grounds, but many preliminary banquets have been held. Mir. Murray also visited Portland and Seattle. Of the three cities hs likes Portland the best. There the buildings in the business district are all occupied. One thing that made an impression was, tAs terrific speed, of everything. The trolley cars run faster than they used to-. the automobiles go faster than the trolley, and the motor cycles have no limit, for the.cops can't catch them. MT. Murray was rather glad to get back to Douglas where he knows everybody and everybody knows him and is glad to,shake his hand. h. stead of investing his money iu auto mobiles or flying machines, he brought home She piano.

THE HOME LIFE OF THE
SETTLER
WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS ALL
THE COMFORTS AND MANY OF
THE LUXURlES.

A young lady Of Wisconsin secured
of the Canadian Government, and on
presenting this to the ticket agent OF
the railway at the Canadian boundary
line she secured ticket at a reduced
rate which carried her to Edmonton,
Alberta, from which point, about for
ty miles, she had friends. This was a
couple of years ago, and the young
lads is now married to one OF the
promising young farmers of the dis
trict.
In writing of her trip to the Mil
waukee representatives of the Cana
dian Government she says: II enjoyed
my trip up here very much, and ex-
pect to go out to our homestead in
the Pembina district next spring" To
the housewife the information that
she has put up twelve quarts OF rasp-
berries is important, as they picked
them themselves" and they might
have picked ten times the quantity IL
they had required them, for there is
no country where wild fruit grows in
such abundance. The letter goes on
to say, and this is interesting from a
woman's standpoint, "the country is
very beautiful" Speaking of the
friends with whom she went up to
live, she says: "They certainly have
a beautiful farm and house"-they
had been there about four years, also
going from Wisconsin-"they have
about twenty acres of oats and bar
ley, five acres alfalfa, three acres po-
tatoes and l don't know how many OF
vegetables. | think they have about
forty acres under cultivation altogeth-
er. They are now draining slough
which they will afterwards pIow and
put into fall wheat. They also have
large herd of cattle, and Mrs. q.
has about 100 chickens. They mako
on an average of 80 pounds of butter
every week. l never saw such grand
cream"
Now these people are enjoying life
in Alberta; they have a splendid cli-
mate, excellent prospects, and are
happy that they are part and parcel
in the working out of the upbuilding
of a new country, that will take its
place amongst the progressive coun-
tries of the century. Numbers OF let.
