MINING STATION

SEATTLE, Aug. 9. - Van H. Man.
 ming, director of the bureau of mines of the department of the interior will
 visit the University of Washington in the near future to determine whe- ther it shall have the mining expert ment station to be established in the Northwest. Congress recently author ized the establishment of ten of these stations. One has already been estab- lished at Fairbanks, Alaska, and an other is to be located in one of the North Pacific states.
 The University of Washington has asked that this station be located here. It is pointed out that Seattle is ideal ly located for the North Pacific sta tion, and that the university, with it's school of mines, is well equipped to do the scientific research and expert mental work that will be required
 While the University of Washing tons request for the station has the of the senators and rep 1t is meeting with some opposition. The University of Idaho at Moscow is also anxious to obtain the station. The Montana delegation in congress is backing Idaho, but the men believe that the mer it's of the case favor them. It is to determine which institution should re ceive the station that brings Manning west
 The chief work of the stations will be to find ways and means for the profitable handling of low grade ore. Each station will be given $25,0O0 by the federal government for the estab- lishment and maintenance of the sta ton.

WHEN YOU KNOW A FELLOW

When YOU get to know fellow,
know his joys and know his
cares,
When you've come to understand
him and the burdens that he
bears,
When you've learned the fight he's
making and the troubles in
his way,
Then you find that he is different
than you thought him yester-
day.
You find his faults are trivial and
there's not so much to blame
In the brother that you jeered at
when you only knew his name.
You are quick to see the blemish in
the distant neighbours style,
You can point to all his errors and
may sheer at him the while.
And your prejudices fatten and your
hates more violent grow
As YOU talk about the failures of the
man you do not know.
But when drawn a little closer, and
your hands and shoulders touch
You find the traits you hated really
don't amount to much.
When you get to know fellow,
know his every mood and within,
You begin to find the textures of the
splendid side of him:
You begin to understand him, and
you cease to scott and sneer,
For with understanding always pref
udices disappear.
You begin 10 find his virtues and
his faults you cease to tell,
For YOU seldom hate fellow when
you know him very we'll.
When next you start IN sneering and
your phrases turn to blame,
Know more of him you censure than
his business and his name;
For it's likely that acquaintance
would your prejudice dispel
And you'd really come to like him
II you knew him very we'll.
Wien you get to know a fellow and
you understand his ways.
Then his faults won't really matter,
for youn find lot of praise
