DEMAND FOR TRAINED MEN

In the second number of the
Lyceum course, Chancellor Brad
ford delivered his lecture at the
Broadway opera house Wednesday
evening before decidedly atten-
tive audience.
The speaker, who has splendid
voice and commanding platform
presence, paid glowing tribute to
our nation; its natural resources,
the initiative and patriotism of its
people. Education" is his hobby
and to the education of our people
he looks for the future greatness
of the country. Education in its
broadest sense-meaning prepara-
ton for life's duties-he urged as
a pearl of great value.
He combatted the theory that
the door of opportunity swings
open only for the favored few;
illustrating his contention with ex-
amples of the thoughtless and un-
guarded action of individuals which
lost for themselves the chances
they most sought.
Never" he declared, "has the
demand for trained men and wo-
men been so great as now, and in
the age of commercial travellers,
comes also the business agent look
ing about over the broad land in
search of men who can do things"
Desire for education pays the
price" asserted the lecturer, and
gave a page from his own expert
ence wherein he had earned his
way through the university, swal-
lowing pride and enduring the
sneers from youths whose paths
had been smoothed for them.
Grit is the thing that counts
both in school and out-and it is
to awaken the desire for higher
and better things that the Chan
cellor is devoting a large part of
his time.
In practical education is seen
the development of sun crowned"
manhood-education W hich is
founded on the Golden rule aud
which has for its first lesson self
control; and the last lesson is like
unto the first.
No one was disappointed in

Accompanied by a body guard of
state militiamen Governor West in
vaded the city of The Dalles on Sun
day and made a spectacular raid on
the red light district, and in his US
ual boastful manner pulled off a
very satisfactory stunt, from his
standpoint, at least. No objection
can be urged against the results
sought to be accomplished by these
sensational raids on the part of the
governor, and if they were carried on
with the sole idea of enforcing the
laws, no one could bring forth criti-
cism of them. But the trouble is
that the governor cannot do a job
of this kind without making himself
the central figure, and posing as the
only individual in the entire state
with moral stamina sufficient to en-
force the law Probably the officials
of The Dalles might have been dere-
lict in their duty; possibly conditions
there might have been improved, but
a letter from the chief executive to
the proper parties would undoubted-
ly reached the same result that the
Governor and his militia men accom-
plished. But, in that event, the
press notices would not have been
forthcoming and the advertising fea-
ture would have been overlooked.

Why all this talk about abolishing
prize fighting because one of the
bruisers was killed by an accidental
blow at Calgary recently? There has
been evidence for many years that
prize fighting has had its share of
deaths, but so has base ball, foot
ball and many other sports. This
isn't a defense of prize fighting, for.
so far as We are concerned, we could
manage to worry along even if the
prize ring was abolished, but the
point is, why single out prize fight
ing as a mark for protestation-
football has been far more fatal. Is
it because the latter sport is father
ed by the rich mems sons in the ex-
elusive Eastern universities?

WATER YOUR LAWN.

One of the most important ad-
juncts to the city beautiful is green
and well kept lawns. Sad to relate,
however, this matter is overlooked
to a great extent in this city, and
only comparatively few of the grass
plats surrounding the dwellings are
kept in good state of preservation
during the dry months. In this con-
nection many people declare that the
water rates are too high to PERM;
of the liberal use of water on the
lawns and that, therefore, they cam
not afford to keep them in good con-
dition during the very dry weather
The fact is that, unless yard is
large, the average family could keep
their lawn in good condition without
the expenditure of an additional
cent to the water company. Tie
minimum amount of water which a
patron may use is now placed at a
point where it is practically impos-
sible for the average family to use
their full quota during a month and
many could still water their lawn
sufficiently to keep it fresh and green
and still remain within their limit.
Those who have been fearful that
the keeping up of their lawns might
be too expensive should try the ev-
pertinent one month. Read your own
meter. Look up the figures today
and then go ahead and water your
lawn, keeping track of the water you
use-it is a simple matter to check
it up yourself, and if you find that
you are running over, or are using
more water than you feel you can
afford, you may easily stop further
for the lawn. You will
at least have added materially to the
of the city, and if The
people generally will adopt this
course, they will be amply repaid in
the satisfaction of doing their share
in building the 'ci'ty beautiful" "

INvENTS NEW "COLD LIGHT
French Scientist May Revolution
ize Electric Lighting.

Paris-M. Dussaud, French scient-
ist, who has discovered a means for
the production Of what he terms 'cold
light, has made public some details
OF his discovery, which it is thought
may revolutionize electric lighting.
He has constructed an electric lamp
in which the light is concentrated on
single point and thence is projected
through lens, magnifying thousand
fold. Thus he has succeeded in con-
centrating 200O-candle power light
on one point, and in passing 80 volts
into an eight-volt lamp, with which
the ordinary light would burst.
Experiments with this lamp have
established that the new light abso-
lutely is without danger, as no heat is
given off and it required 100 times
less current than the ordinary lamp.
1t can be worked by tiny battery or
sufficient motive power can be OBJ
tanned from jet of water from an or
binary faucet or even squirrel turn
ing cage. The light has been tried
with great success in the Biarritz light
house, and M. Dussaud is working on
its application to searchlights for the
ministry of war.
