AN INDEPENDENT
V? PAPER
MAXING PROGRESS
The start of the present min
ing .ea.on promises well for
the future progress and pros
perity of the Portland Canal
distrLt.
Four mines, the Premier, the
River.ide, Porter Idaho and
4T§J#^,CUVS
ing only the completion of its
rxter -e tram and mill sys
tem on which work is now un
der way, to join the ranks, of
the producers; the Big Mis
souri hi3 reached the stage of
development where its potenti
rlitre as a future source of
m'ne-.al production can be
guaged with a certainty that
leave tittle doubt that it will
soon bc ome one of the big
mines of the continent.
As a rule two or three pro
e mines is considered
qu’te a . howing in any district.
We have four at present and
in al! probability will have at
least two more by the close of
the sea on. In addition there
are half a dozen properties
under development which may
further Increase the number
of producers before another
year ha3 flown; as well as a
score or more of very excellent
“prospects,” which, although
Still iar removed from the pro
ductive stage, are known to
have ores of good commercial
grade and which apparently .
need but the necessary capital i
to Place them on a producing
basis.

RAW MATERIAL IN MAN.
When one is inclined to swell
up over the thought of one’s
importance in the world it
might be well to reflect oh
enc’'. actual value in the mar
ve rate of 60 cents a
hundred pounds. A scientist
tm i e imated the constituents ,
of the average man, weight1
about 150. In that body there
is enough fat to make seven
b»rg of soap, enough salt to
fill a small shaker, iron to
make two 2-penny nails, lime
to whitewash two chicken
coops, and enough sulphur to
kill the fleas on the average
dog. Thus the genus homo
ranges in value from about
, 60 cents to around $1.80.
■ Valuable animal! A hog is
, worth a lot more. Considerat
I ion of one’s _ bodily constitu
; made of pretty common ma
erial. Soap grease isn’t pleas
ant stuff to handle, yet there
j Is more of that in volume than
! anything else. The scientist’s
analysis is not even as grati- \
i'ying as the Biblical statement j
;ii regard to mud, for dust be
■ mes mud when it is wet. The
>:penditure for raw material
:s not great. That much is
clear. However, this is one side
of the subject.
When we reflect on what!
.u combination of soap
(lease, whitewash and other
ingredients is able to do when 1
mixed properly we are forced i
to the conclusion that it was a I
nost remarkable job. Certain-,
ly there was little work when ,
uch material was used and
he result is all the more cred
itable when the output acts
according to the original de
ign and fulfills the purpose
of his stay on earth. It demon
strates that a good product
can be made from very dis
couraging elements. Not that ■ ]
every person is good; what we ]
mean is the idea back of the [
nroduct was good. How the
individual acts determines! ]
whether he is just a mixture ^
or, vastly more than that, is a !r
man according to the design i
of the Creator.
Of course there is more goes ' j
;nto the real man than the I,
chemist can find in his analy- j ‘
lis, and that is what lifts man
above the rest of creation ^
"lakes him more than so much j
raw material. If it were not so, ^
man would be of about the
least value conceivable. It lies
with the individual to deter
mine whether one is a mixture Jt
or a man. One can be either. ‘
THAT’S WHAT COUNTS.
In the list of what may be
■ailed the chief characteristics
>f our present era may be
'ound the assertion that this is
in age when “nobody has any
ime.” On this point practic
tlly all the observers and crit
cs of our social order are
igreed.
They draw their proof for
his assertion largely from the
iver-increasing speed of our
neans of transportation. A
lalf-hour reduction in the time
t takes to go from Chicago to
■Jew York; a mile added to
he record of the number per
lour in airplane travel; a
lalf-hour gained in a trans-Afc
antic trip—these are events
hat our hurrying age greets
,vith joy. We have no time to
lally.
Thus runs the lament of the
■rites. But is it indeed a mat
;er of such grave concern?
rrue, there was a time when
nen had more leisure than
;hey take to themselves today,
but we have yet to learn that
in those days men had a great
21* abundance either in social
progress or human happiness
than we have today.
We can’t deny that we arc
in a hurry, but as compared
to more leisurely periods in
history it isn’t to be denied
that we get things done. And
after all that is what counts.

it isn’t for want of trying.
