Platinum ut BandOn.

Bandon, Ore, Jan. Platinum
mined in the southern part of the
county has been produced at Bandon
which would indicate that there is
promise of the precious metal being
one of the resources of Coos county.
The Bandon Recorder prints the fol-

"R. Smith Bassett has severed his
connection as manager of the Oregon
Coast Gold Platinum Dredge Com
pany and has gone into the mining
business independently. He displayed
$512 worth of platinum which he had
saved in six weeks recently with only
rough cedar board for a sluice box.
This platinum was taken from mine
which Mr.. Bassett has near this, city
and indicates that there is certainly
something doing in the platinum bus
mess in this section. Mr. Bassett is
| very sanguine over the prospects.
He also states that the Oregon
Coast Gold Platinum Dredge Com
pany will continue to operate this
summer and they will undoubtedly
make good, as there are the best OF
prospects.

One OF the most complete demon

American railroad and an American
college will be the dairy demonstra-
tion train which will be sent out
February 2 by the Oregon AgricuI-
tural College with the cooperation
of the Southern Pacific Railway. The
train will consist of seven cars and
will carry dairy cattle and swine as
object lessons in what is best for
Oregon. There will be up-to-date
machinery and expositiOns of up-to-
date methods by the college instruct
ors. The train starts February
and will spend two weeks in cover
ing the Southern Pacific from Port
land to Ashland II is therefore
probable that it will reach this city
about the middle of February. How
ever, the itinerary will be announced
in the near future. Every person in
Jackson county, and indeed in tho
entire territory tributary to the road.
should attend the instruction given
on these trains.

Jackson County
Has Fine Jail

The Tidings city editor was in Jail
Friday, but it was his lucky day and
he got out again. Through the cour-
tesy of Sheriff Singler and Jailor
Wilson the editor was shown through
the county jail erected at Jackson
vile a few years ago and found it
the most up-to-date institution of
the kind it was ever his good fortune
to inspect. 1t is fireproof and appar-
emily burglar-proof-not that anyone
ever tried to break into it, Two men
did try to break out, only a few
days ago, they being the two men in
for burglarizing Simpsons hardware
store in this city. They secured a
file in some way; either it was snug
gled in from the outside or they were
smooth enough TO hide it where the
officers failed to find it when they
searched them. With the file they
made two caseknives over into saws
and attempted to saw out. They had
only penetrated the bars about one
sixteenth of an inch when they were
discovered.
The Jail is fitted with cells open
ing on corridors and the cell doors
are so arranged that any or all can
be locked and unlocked from outside
the corridors. There is also pad
ded cell in which insane prisoners
may be kept, and in which they can
not hurt themselves.
On the second floor is the women's s
corridor, consisting of the matron's
room and two cells with two hunks
in each.
The jail is kept in perfectly clean
condition by Jailor Wilson and is
certainly credit to the county, and
its condition credit to Sheriff Sing
Ter and his assistants.

BOYS CLUB MEETING
WAS A ROUSING ONE

rected to meet the new demands of
the age in which he is born.
Mr.. Vining then took up the vital
periods in lifes development. Fol
lowing the recapitulatory theory pre-
sented in President G. Stanley Halls
famous work on Adolescence, Mr..
Vining presented the first age from
l to years at which time there ap-
pears a shore line, so to speak, in
a child's development. The 6year-
old cl lid OF today representing in his
mental equipments the matured man
of an early race period. George
Francis Barron, the bright 6-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Homer Barron
was presented as model boy OF
this age Mr.. Vining insisted that
two attributes must be developed at
this age as life assets. The first was
healthy and vigorous development,
and the second was an unqualified
belief and trust in the world. All
fear should he avoided and the child
should be directed through right and
wrong but never through fear, as
Mr.. Winnings experience in analyZing
men in his past work has shown that
early childish fears have often clung
to men and incapacitated them for
later l:fe work.
The next period extends from to
IL years of age and is known as the
race man" period of life. This rep
resents the oldest development OF
| the race. A 12-year-old boy was
! used as a model. His harmonious
! development was demonstrated and
! his inqGisitive mental life illustrated
! IA, was shown, and then the baby
man or adolescent youth of 16 years,
/ the latest development of the race
was presented. The striking physio-
logical and psychological difference
between the old race man of IL and
/ the baby individualized man of IL
were presented and illustrated from
common life experiences. The ole

the Governors staff and the local

of the fact that there will be a drill

which winds up the dedicatory SER
vices it will be impossible to indulge
in any toasts after the dinner. The

The second meeting of the Boys
Vocational Club was rousing affair;
seventeen new members being en-
rolled, bringing the total registration
up to 140. In spite of interesting
counter attractions 120 boys were
present, who were entertained by
music furnished by the Boys Club
quartet, consisting of Messrs. Briggs,
McWilliams, Burdic and Merrill, and
under the direction Of Mr.. A. L..
Strickland. After several college
songs had been enjoyed and vocal
solo by Mr.. Strickland, Prof. Vining
talked to the boys on What You
Are, and Why, an Introduction to
Yourself" The subject was first
treated on broad lines, the relation
ship between the plant and animal
worlds being shown and then the dis
tinction between man and the lower
animals was shown. This latter dis
tinction was presented under the
question, why must a boy spend
from 10 to 10 years of his life in
school in order to prepare himself
to do something worth while in life
while dog or any other of the lower
animals seems to be born with all
the qualities necessary for his sue
cessful existence" This question
was answered by showing how the
animal world has not changed
throug the ages and the animal in
stincts are capable of directing him
today as they always have been in
the past A mans world, on the
other hand, is always changing, with
new ideas and inventions, and the
boy is born with few fixed instincts
but with a great number of tenden
cies which must be trained and di

been suspended as much because of
the high price of labor as for any
other reason, and it is a peculiar
fact that while in skilled labor better
prices bring better service, yet in
railroad and lumber camp labor the
higher the prices and the more plen-
tiful the work the less can be accom-
plished.
In speaking of the army" which
invaded Ashland Saturday night
Archie Million was led to relate some
of his experiences as a ranch fore
man in California. He said that he
had gone many time down on the
banks of the Feather river where
there was a bunch of men summing
themselves on the bank and asked
them If they wanted work picking
fruit. Bring your orchard down
and we will look at it," was the
usual reply. When the ranchers
were compelled to resort to Chinese
and Japanese labor or lose their
crops they we're denounced as crowd
ing out" the white labor. Archie
also told that within the last week
he needed a man to help handle a
piano and offered either of two men
so cents to help for half an hour.
Both laughed in his face and turned
and walked off.
And this sort of men are what
Ashland is feeding, in self defense,
and because of the prevalent plan OF
passing them on to the next town.
An experience of nearly forty years
of earning his own living has con-
vinced the writer that outside the
large cities there is not and never
has been a time when any man, at
least in the place where he was
known. could not get some kind OF
work to do at some price-something
that to a seli-respecting man was bet
ter than begging or stealing.
Today there are thousands of
acres of land needing clearing in Ore
gon, which would be cleared could
help be gotten-men who would
work at moderate wages and do hon
est work, but which will not warrant
paying common labor within a few
cents a day what men can command
who have given years to training
themselves.
