Against the Action OF the German Govern
ment I'm Prohibiting Our BeeE.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Secretary
Gresham has made a very strong repre-
sentation to the German government
as to the injustice to the United States
of the recent order prohibiting the i'm
portation of American cattle and fresh
meat into Germany. He has protested
that the action, which Ia SO severe a
blow to q great American industry.
was taken without sufficient evidence
Of disease among the cattle exported
from the United States or its ccnta-
gious character or harmful effects. The
secretary and the German ambassador
were in conference at the state depart
ment ON the subject and tho minis
ter transmitted the protest to
his home government, promising that
it should receive careful consideration.
There is some reason to hope that our
government may be able to cur a
suspension of the order for a time at
least, to afford opportunity for further
investigation and the proper considera-
ton of such representation as we can
make to support our cause, and reason
for this belief is founded on the change
just made in the German chancellor

Not the least despicable methods Of
campaigning resorted TO by opponents of
republicans on our county ticket this
fall has been the series Ot lies, misrepre
sensations and petty insinuations
against some of the candidates on the
republican ticket notably Judge William
son and j. L. Jones. The canards have
e g started without any regard to
truth and in most cases have been the
purely malicious f%abrications of personal
enemies without regard to party afiIlia-
tons or public, welfare. In a card in
this paper yesterday Messrs. Williamson
and Jones replied to the charge of fur
nishing beer to voters which originated
no doubt and has been freely circulated
by a Poitlng republican paper for purely
malicious purposes. While these sland-
ers are frequently their Own REPUTATION
when hurled at decent men, there are
~elt-meaning people who, hearing them
reiterated from day to day, are led to
think there may he something true
about them if not denied, and yet hon.
orable men dislike to even dignity such
contemplate attacks upon private
reputation by a denial. Tits often the
case when such reports are persisted in
that the reaction resulting from ~unjussi-
fable attack brings more friends To the
side OF those attacked than they would
otherwise naturally have, and it is with
much satisfaction that the friends OF
Nessrs. Williamson and Jones see the

Cottonwood report. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1893-1901, 1894-03-16

The great staked plain of Texas, known
to Spaniards as the Llano Estacado, has
long been held geological curiosity, if not
mystery. Professor Hill has made a
thorough reconnaissance and gathered data
which gives the first intelligent scientific
description of it. If the reader will CON
ceive an island greatly elevated above the
surrounding plains or desert region" of
the interior, bordered, with slight excep-
tion, on all sides by steep precipices resem-
bling palisades, nearly surrounded by riv-
ers at the base, embracing $4,000 square
miles of surface, he will get general idea
of it.
1t has no streams, a few ponds, no trees
or bushes, and is unbroken by surface
channels, yet it is well watered and dense
ly carpeted with rich growth of gramma
grapes. Indeed, its nearly level surface is
far more fertile than the level plains about
it. Already stock has been introduced,
and although margined by precirices of
near 900 feet vertical height, it promises
to become great focus of cattle produc-
tion.
The rainfall of the region is ample, all
of which is absorbed, and none runs off.
In many respects it differs from all other
parts of Texas, having some resemblance
to the so called Bad Lands of Dakota, and
like these lands seems to be the bottom of
an ancient lake, although its fossils are not
stated. 1t is nearly as large as the state of

ZINC General prift 10 Cities.

The tendency of the laboring population
in rural districts to migrate to the cities is
receiving forcible illustration in Germany.
Not only has the city of Berlin increased
in population nearly 200 per cent in the last
quarter of a century-at rate of progress
four times as rapid as that of London but
almost all the great towns in Germany ex-
hibit a similar tendency to augment their
population at the expense of the country.
In many parts there are not enough labor
ers to perform the necessary agricultural
operations. The country is, in fact, becom-
ing deserted, and in some cases land is APP
preaching it's prairie value" In the king
doms of Saxony and Bavaria at this mo-
ment there are said to be many small farm
houses, each with a large plot of garden
land, advertised for sale at prices which
elsewhere would barely suffice to pay the
ordinary conveyancing fees. One little
property of this sort, for instance, is offered
to any purchaser for the ridiculous sum of
$50 and another for less than $50, house
and land included-all freehold It is pref
ty clear that all Germanys protective i'm
port duties have been powerless to ward
off agricultural depression. In fact, her
farmers appear to be suffering good deal
more than those of Great Britain.-New

How Cinnamon Is Gathered.

Miss Cumming. in her book, ''Two Happy
Years in Ceylon, thus describes cinnamon
cultivation and traffic, as she saw it in OPP
GRAFTON:
The cultivation is something like that of
willow copse, straight young shoots
springing up around the stump of the
plant previously cut. These shoots in their
turn are cut every second year-that is to
say, when they are about five feet high and
two inches in circumference. A good many
of these are sold as walking sticks, and
find a ready market on board the steamers
among the passengers, who think there
must be a special charm in cinnamon
stick, though in truth it is hard to distin-
guish it from our common hazel
But of course the real thing to be secured
is the highly aromatic inner bark. First
of all the leaves are stripped off, and then
the bark is split from end to end with a
sharp knife which has curved point.
With this, aided by the fingers, the bark is
carefully removed in long pieces. These
are heaped up and left to sodden, so as to
facilitate the next process-that of scrap
ing off the outer rind.
In order to do this each piece of the bark
is placed on round piece of wood and
carefully scfaped with the knife, the al
most nude. brown workers sitting on the
ground ana using their toes as an extra
hand to steady the end of the stick.
The bark is then left to dry in the sun,
when it rolls itself up into tight quilts.
These are neatly sorted and packed, three
or four inside of one another, and are made
up into bales covered with cloth, and are
then ready for export.

A australian Tea.

In the interior of Australia all the men
drink tea. They drink it all day long and
in quantities and at a strength that would
seem to be poisonous. On Sunday morn
ing the teamaker starts with clean pot
and clean record. The pot is hung over
the fire with sufliciency of water in it for
the days brew, and when this has boiled
he pours into it enough of the fragrant
herb to produce deep coffee colored
liquid.
On Monday, without removing yester-
days tea leaves, he repeats the process.
On Tuesday da capo and on Wednesday da
capo, and SO on through the week. To
ward the close of it the goat pot is filled
with an acrid mash of tea leaves, out OF
which the liquor is squeezed by the pres
sure of tin cup.
By this time the tea is of the color of
rusty iron, incredibly bitter and disagree
able to the uneducated palate. The native
calls it real good old post and rails (the
smile being obviously drawn from stiff
and dangerous jump, and regards it as
having been brought to the very pitch OF
perfection.-New Orleans Picayune.

Where European Tourists Go.

Every summer out of New York alone go
shoals of drummers, buyers and agents
every year Every big dry goods house
sends men to scour the world for cloths
and laces; tailors send buyers of mems
clothing fabrics. Hundreds of men are
paid to search the foreign markets for nov
elites in iewelry. Even the big dress
makers now spend hundreds of dollars in
dispatching keen eyed, shrewd headed and
quick witted representatives to watch for
eign styles and buy foreign materials.
And they are oftener women than men.
The Meccas of these commercial pill
grims are Of course London and Paris.
The favorite route of the pleasure seekers
also includes those cities, but allows only

To appreciate wave force and what may
be termed the throwing power of a wave,
let it be understood that in the winter of
1860, at Bishops Rock lighthouse, the bell
was torn from its fastenings, although sit
uated 100 feet above high water mark. At
INST, in Shetland islands, door was burst
in at a height of 1895 feet above the level of
the sea. The most wonderful effects OF
wave force recorded were witnessed at Wick
Harbor breakwater. Blocks weighing from
8 to 10 tons were built in above the line of
high water, first with hydraulic lime, then
with Roman and last with Portland ce-
ment This great work was considered by
the most learned engineers in England to
be capable of withstant.ing the assaults of
the ocean for ages, but in October, 1864,
over 800 feet of this giant barrier was swept
away.
In 1879 q monolithic block, 1850 tons,
was lifted bodily and carried to leeward of
the breakwater, and in 1873 another and
heavier concrete mass, weighing 1900 tons,
which had replaced the former, was swept
away intact and carried to point equally
distant.-San Francisco Argonaut.
