GRAIN IN EUROPE AND AMERICA

Europe produces now on an aver.
age 5000, 100000 bushels of grain,
of which Russia produces one.ihir.i.
Germany anil France, 500. 200, 900
each and Austria 10000, 600. The
United States produces 1 900, ,ooo, 90 O
bushels, ~. about the same ~ Russia.
In order to appreciate the advanta.
ges of the United States, the popu-
lation should b. taken intp account.
this is for the United States, 10000.
0co, and therefore we produce forty
bushels per head; while Europe with
a population of quite 10000, 600,
produces sixteen bushels; Russia
twenty-six bushels per head and
Great Britain only four bushels per
heal. As the average quantity OF
grain consumed. per head, is fifteen
bushels. We produce nearly three
times as much as we want. Rus
sia scarcely twice it's wants, Europe
on All averagt' all needed, but Great
Britain, not much over one
fourth. 1t will be seen that the gen.
erai production far sarpa.ses tie
consumption, bnt this excess is alb
sorhed by breweries and distilleries
all over the world, which do more to
keep the price OF breadstuffs at
high figure than ANYTHING else.

NONE MANUFACTURES.

The Chicago Journal Of Commerce
gives some very interesting details as
to the progress of OUT home maniac
lures during the past two or three de-
cades. It says:
"The growth Of American manu-
factures has been wonderful In 1880
the amount invested in cotton manu-
factures was little more than $40, ,ooo,-
900. The number of spindles was I (
s5o.ooo, Of males employed 1889, Of
females 3S,os7. The amount Of cotton
ussd, Io4,3oo bales. Fifty years haze
passed away, and the number Of spin
dies has increased to 1o,76o,147. The
amount of cotton used in 1880 was
5000, 900 bales. The number of per-
sons employed is 18I,4aS, and the
amount Of capital invested in mills
and subsidiary work is more than
$77s,ooo,ooo. From 1870 to 1880,
the product Of woolen manufacture res
has increased nearly $ao,ooo,ooo.
The silk productions of the United
States rose from $12,a1o,66a in 1870
to s34,41o,463 in 1880. The growth
Of the iron and steel industry has, been
remarkable. In 1870 we produced
$4,000 tons of IRON; in 1880 the iron
and steel works of the United States
produced 7,a6s,Ioo tons. In twenty
years the capital invested in the man
ufacture of machinery has increased
from $4,000, ,ooo to 100000. And
the world knows but very little as yet
of what the next ten years, even, may
produce.

The 1e counties of Eastern Oregon

In the earlier settlement of Eastern
Oregon, preference was given to
strictly valley lands. Experience
has very clearly shown, howeve',
that most excellent crops al cereals
are sure upon tie table and billsile
lands. For both frnt raising and
general agriculture, many now give
the iillsitlrs the preference.

loY.no table:

The population has increased about
fourfold in the interim, while the pro-
duction of cotton goods as estimated
by the increase in spindles has been
enhanced ninefold in the same time,
or more than twice as fast. Our silk
production nearly TRIBE d in ten years
while the increase of population was
onlya bout 33 percent, or about twelve
times less. The production of iron
since 1870 has nearly doubled, or
about skiold the increase in popula-
ton. This is caused, partly by the
exclusion of foreign products, partly
by the great increase of railroad facil-
tiles, the settlement of the country and
industrial development.

Sir Jones he hired a stately steed,
And buggy both narrow and high,
And he drove to the lady's door with speed.
And waited for her reply;
For it was legal holiday,
Yclept the Fourth of July.
The lady graciously said him yea,
And she decked herself in white,
And he ashed the steed, and they went With speed,
Until they were out of sight,
And what he said will never be known,
Nor yet what she replied,
But he brought her back on that selfsame track,
= From a very short haffhouf's ride.

And his face was sad to see,
And he ground his teeth, that Fourth OF july,

And rivers and brooks where waterfalls jump;
But who ever gave an iota of glory
To the honest, the awkward, the homely old pump?
The honest old pump the kindly old pumpl
Though bomely and awkward, well sing for the
pump
How grandly he stands in the quiet old street,
Though as stiff as post and rough as a stump.
And pours out his soul to the friends he may meet
The glorious, the generous, the friendly cid pumpi
The honest old pumpi the kindly old pumpl
Though homely and awkward. we'll sing for the

How patient and quiet he takes our rough working
AS grasplug his hand, it comes down with thumpi
No hand is more friendly, though we give it such

Than the one which we take from the faithful old

The honest old pump! the kindly old pumpl
Though homely and awkward, we'll sing for the

He has worked hard for temperance for many long

And will work till runs demon shall play his last

Till his victims all rescued, shall silence their fears
And find ther best friend in the faithful old pump
