Why can't we at least that gamblers little and big

We could get those results by legaizng gambling and

Well, folks, every year about this
time brings back memories of twenty
two years ago when Prof. Roy A.
Mayfield of Hormer Normal Industri-
al Institute passed out the diplomas
and used the saying of the great Ma
poleon, "Many difficulties may con-
front you, but beyond them all lies
success" SO just word to this years
class of boys and girls.
A JOB, like any other effort in this
world of social contacts, requires GET
TING ALONG WITH PEOPLE.
College students who have acquired
this ability get jobs EASIER than
those who have ignored this important
phase of their training.
These elemental facts have been neg
lected, or at least underemphasized, too
long.
Now they are being recognized on
the campuses of this nations colleges
and universities
You note that vocational placement
directors-the men who try to get
graduates squared away in JOBS
find employers most readily impressed
by students who TOOK PART IN
SOCIAL AND CAMPUS ACTIVI-
TIES.
Such young men and women are CIV

achievements on the campus, but for
their leadership ability, and their PER-
sonal POPULARITY among fellow
students.
In short, their ABILITY TO GET

All that, it seems, is changed - and
fortunately. Lesson-givers have learn
ed the lesson that REALITY must be
faced by the graduates and that RE-
ALITY calls for more than an "a"
grading in calculus.
Scholastic supremacy is not to be
discounted. But in this age of COM
plex civilization, PERSONALITY and
the ability to put it over are equally
essential.

START MOVEMENT
TO STOP REFUNDS
OF GASOLINE TAX

A movement has been started to
repeal the law refunding state gas
oline taxes. and divert the pro-
ceeds OF the refund to the state
highway department. Proponents
say that 81 100000 of refund money
would make available nearly 49,
100000 in federal money for road
construction. Refunds of the five
cent per gallon state gasoline tax
totaled 123,O31 the first three
months of this year. against $780,
963 for the same period in 1887.
Refunds in 1887 were SS43,546 and
in 1886, S796,772. With crop pros
poets for this season brighter than
for several seasons, increased gaso-
line consumption for agricultural
purposes is expected to increase
he 1888 total. Refunds are now
granted those using gasoline in sta
.ionery and other motors not en-
ployed on the highways.

1t is reported that several mining
companies have requested blanks
preparatory to applying for mining

RFC at Washington D. c. The
Journal has had requests for blanks
which can be be obtained either
direct from Washington or through
the personal courtesy of August

No new loans have been made,
nor examinations ordered, since the

The chief objective of the new RFC
nolicy is to create jobs for men, it
IS stated. and a greatly liberalized
policy is expected to result.
A revised list of active approved
nine loans has been issued by the
RFC showing that $11,44O.5OO has
been authorized as mining loans;
S7.196.00O Of authorized loans have
been cancelled. leaving S4 244,5OO
in active loans. of which S3,232.5OO
has been disbursed and $1,OO7,251

total six and of the $4,000 dis
bursed, $43O,OOO has been repaid.

MINING GEOLOGY
By John G.. Schestak of
Portland Oregon.

Highgrade gold ore is found in
fissure veins that traverse the axes
of an anticline fold.
The richest gold ore is found
along the axes of roughly pro-
nounced anticline folds. A fissure
vein that traverses along the flank
of an anticline fold is usually too
low grade to permit working.
Highgrade ore is found in fis-
sure veins that traverse a basin or
level ground if they are faulted.
Where two or more fissure veins
Whre two or more fissure veins
are intersecting, the richest gold
ore is found in the one that pierces,

older

REFINERS ASK FOR
LOWER INSURANCE
ON CRACKING UNITS

TULSA-MOre refiners are join
ING the fight to reduce unfair fire
insurance rates on cracking units
for refiners who avail themselves
~ independent technical inspection
service. Such indDection, it has
been proved over term of years
makes cracking stills a superior
risk
The records show that over a
period of eight years the ratio of
losses paid to premiums collected
on independently-ins crack
ing units has been Is percent,
whereas, the normal average loss
ratio on all classes of property is
SO per cent.
In other words, the insurance
companies have collected dollar
from such refiners for every IS
cents they have paid in losses.
The unfairness of the rates charg-
ed for cracking stills which are in
spected by an independent techni-
cal agency is apparent, the refin-
ers point out when 1t is consid-
cred that the expense is borne
entirely by the refiners whereas in
the case of steam boilers the in
surance companies spend from As
to SIS cents of every premium dollar
for inspection service.

Mr. Johnson said. Il attached two
freight parachutes designed TO
handle 800 pounds each, to the

elevation of 200 feet dropped the

which broke easily. and the bulk
floated to the ground, landing in

There are about 800 persons in

Mr.. Johnson said that during the
past 10 months his company had
landed 100000 pounds of various
kinds of mining machinery, equip
ment, provisions and other articles
in isolated places. some by landing
the ships and some by parachutes'
lone mining company alone, a
big hydraulic outfit on the Salmon
river. The River of No Return has
gotten 100000 pounds of ma
chinery, equipment and supplies
landed on a small sand bar in the
river near the scene of operations
In that lot we carried pieces of ma
chinery that weighed $500 and
$500 pounds.
Mr.. Johnson said many mining
operators in the isolated ldaho
country get deliveries of emergency
by air, especially during
the winter period. In many OF the
places we can deliver, but of course
can not take off passengers where
there are no fields.

The article is of particular in

per month but which is capable of
10 600 tons per month. Approx
