DAVID 8. HILL ACCEPTS.

The New York Senator Formally Accepts
the Democratic Gubernatorial Nominal
tion.
New YORK, Oct. s.-Charles Brown,
of Newberg. was nominated for judge
of the court of appeals in place of Will
liam J. Gaynor. who was withdrawn
by the state democratic committee
Saturday afternoon. Following the
nomination Senator Hill AID Repre-
sentative Lockwood were formally
notified of their nomination at the
party headquarters. Chairman Hinck-
ley. of the state committee. introduced
Bourke Cochran, who made an APP
propriate speech to the two candidates.
The most telling point in Senator
Hills reply was that while the nominal
ton came to him unsought and unde-
sired. he could not at this time refuse
his acceptance of it from the party
which had always honored him in the
days of its sunshine and prosperity.
This brought prolonged cheers. Rep
resentative Lockwood also spoke. He
intimated that the support of the adj
ministratiou at Washington could be
depended upon.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
The Chief Money Crops of the West and
South Sinking in Vslue-Failures.

The Chief Money Crops of the West and
South Sinking in Value-Failures-
New YORK. Oct. 6.-Dun's Weekly
Review of Trade says:
With the chief money crops Of the west and
south sinking in value it is not strange that
purchases of manufactured products are small
er than was expected. Wheat has touched the
lowest point ever known for options and cotton
the lowest ever known in any form with the
present classification. and the accumulation Of
stocks in both products is diScouraging to pur-
chaSers FOR an advance. Producers are COM
PEELED to sell at prices below the ordinary cost
of raising crops and in some western states
there is also lamentable failure of the corn
crop. Under the circumstances it would be
very strange if the demand for manufactured
products should be quite as large as in other
years.
Wheat suffers most from accumulation Of
stocks in sight. which are for beyond what il
usually expected far the season and the ex-
ports in September were unusually small. For
the first week of October Atlantic exports
were 1907 .S92 bushels against s63,7i6 last year
and western receipts were only i6l5.6OO
against 6.I3O6s7 last year, and these figures
give some encouragement. but have little in
fiuence in view Of the unusual.viSible supply
The price for cash wheat is q small fraction
higher for the week.
Corn receipts AZ the west have only been
third as large as they were last year. with ex-
ports amounting to nothing. but the price has
not further declined after the heavy fan during
the previous fortnight Pork products are
weak in tone. though only lard is quotably
lower.
The condition of the industries is in some re-
spects more satisfactory Evidently there Is
larger demand for iron products than there
was month ago. although the increase in out
put has been somewhat greater than the in
crease in the demand, SO that prices steadily
tended downward.
Failures for the past week have been 2l9 in
the United States against go last year. and %
in Canada against - last yea-.

LAND REPORT.
Annual Statement of the Commissioner Of
the General Land Office.

the General Lanu Omce
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-S. w. Lamo-
reaux, commissioner of the general
land Office, in his annual report shows
that there has not been as much activ-
ity in public land matters this year as
previously, due to the hard times in
the west and the consequent decrease
in immigration. The most important
fires in Michigan. Minnesota and Wis
consin, and what shall be done with
the timber on public lands.
The commissioner recommends an in
novation in survey. Instead of the con-
tract system under which public lands
are now surveyed, he says the govern
ment should make the surveys He
suggests the work be done by the geo.
logical survey. and points out that the
present geological survey is compelled
to GO over the same ground which has
been previously gone over by the con-
tract surveyors. The geological sur
vey and the typographical survey can
be made at the same time and with
much less expense. He also recon-
mends that the surveys be made as fast
as possible.
The disposal of land for the year
ended June 80 was as follows: Sold
for cash. 613,s26 acres: miscellaneous
entries. 9,763. 39s acres; Indian lands.
2s.s76 acres; total decrease compared
with last year. 1,4s5,O i3 acres. The to-
tai cash receipts of the Office were 81

agricultural patents issued, 1925, a
decrease of s,429. Mineral patents,
1863; railroad land grants patented,
Sos. $50 acres; approved to states under
public grants, sl9.993 acres; Indian and
miscellaneous. 305, 592 acres: total num-
Der of acres patented, 2,533,735. Sur
veys amounting to 6,923, 49, acres have
been approved during the year.
The commissioner recommends that
an appropriation be made for at least
six attorneys to supervise and direct
the proceedings of the special agents
operating in the district to be desig-
mated by the commissioner, the attor-
neys to have charge of the prosecution
of cases discovered by the special
agents. He renews his recommendation
of last year that the law authorizing

THE LLAMA.
An Animal of Great Importance to the
Peruyians.

An Animal or Great importance TO the
Peruyians.
The llama is native of Peru and an
animal of great Importance to the Pc
ruvians. 1t is beast of burden, and
at one time was the only quadruped in
the country which could be used for
lhat purpose, taking the place of either
horse. OK or goat; it also furnishes
them with food and clothing. In South
America the animal is commonly known
by several names-llama, alpaca, CT
cugna and guanaco. The llama and
alpaca are domesticated. but the qua
naco and vicugna are wild. These last
are of light brown color, the under
parts white. while the others vary in
color. being white, brown. black or
notified. The vicugna is smaller and
more slender in form than the guiana
CO. 1t is a wild, timid creature. living
in herds on the bleak rocky precipices
of the snow-clad mountain tops of Peru
and Ecuador, where it climbs the rocks
with the greatest agility, for its feet
are so formed as to render it possible
for them to do so. as beneath each toe
is pad or cushion. In this. as well as
the construction of the stomach, the
llama is supposed to be allied to the
camel
The guanaco. another variety, is
very beautiful creature about the size
of the European red deer. 1t also is
very timid animal and when frightened
bounds of at great speed
The llama, which is domesticated. is
supposed to be descended from the
guanaco. 1t is used by the natives as
a beast of burden and Will carry a
hundred pounds or perhaps a little
more If the load is too heavy or the
animal too tired. it will lie down and
nothing Will induce it to 90 further on
its journey, and if urged it viii turn
and spit in the face of its driver. The
pack must be removed from its back
before it will move
The flesh of the llama is good for
food and the skins and wool for cloth
ing. The alpaca is thought to be of
the same variety as the vicugna, but
in domesticated state. 1t is not used
as a beast of burden. but is noted for
its wool, which is abundant, long and
feecy, and for this reason the alpaca
sheep are highly prized--Detroit Free

The Little King of NepauI.

If his dashing, prancing Ghoorlla war
riors made perpetual circus for our
little king, so also his forests and jun
giles and rivers afforded him a tremen-
dous and varied menagerie, compared
with which our great Barnum's great
est show on earth was but dime
museum; for here were bear and wolf
and leopard. tiger, hyena and jackal,
elephant. rhinoceros and wild buffalo,
wild goats, vultures, and falcons, and
eagles, golden pheasants and jungle
fowl. From his palace perch. in the
cold season. he could spy the Bhootiyan
herdsmen leading in great fiocks of
sheep and goats over the mountains
from Tibet, every little creature carry
ing its pack of small sacks filled with
borax. salt and saltpetre; and behind
these came trains of sturdy, pluclky
ponies. and fierce, shaggy dogs from
the northern highlands. Sometimes he
could see great troops or long trains of
carriers coming into the city, bringing
tea and musk, paper-plant and yaks
tails, honey and wax, beads, precious
stones and coral. spice and betel nuts,
indigo and vermillion.-St Nicholas.
