ended my career before firing party.
Making my way to the southern re-
public In all haste, found somewhat
to my disgust that the call was practi-
cally fake. Gen. Pierola was indeed
on the war path, and meant business,
ont would not be ready to take the field
for several months. This scarcely
suited my card, and as something had
to be done while / was waiting for
Developments. determined to leave
the ''war correspondent" packed up In
Lima and travel In the moro sober garb
of a 'kodal< fend" through the fas-
cinating ruins of the Incarial empire.

sibly; but had not been many days at

II happened in this way:
Outside Of Cuzco, the old imperial seat
of the Inca dynasty, the country is for
miles on miles strewn with interesting
ruins and relics, for the most part aban-
doncd now 70 nature. These It was my
purpose to carefully investigate and
photograph. While wandering among
the hills one day came across q Curl
Qua cave In the side of o towering
precipice that bordered the road
for considerable distance on both
sides. Between the precipice and tha
road thick hedge of cactus grew. It
was practically double hedge; thin
line Of the plants sprouted from the
very base OF the cliff, and n heavy
growth bordered the bank of the road,
leaving sort of natural footpath be-
tween. From the road the top of the
entrance TO the cave was Just visible.
This presented so regularly arched and
smooth an appearance that at once
determined 10 investigate II.
With tho aid of couple of Indians
whose services I secured I cut away
the cacti from about the entrance,
where the plant, of course, grew
heavily. This took us many hours to
accomplish, and by the time we were
through night was at hand. But the

ANOTHER WARMING,

AS the cannerymen of the Columbia
river very well know, the Commercial AS
torian's persistent efforts during the
spring season lately closed have had the
effect of educating consumers of salmon
With 4 display of facts of which up to
the present time they have been in total
ignorance. We have by regular and un-
ceaslng argument shown these tens OF
thousands of people In Eastern states
how vast difference there was between
the Royal Chinook and other varieties of
salmon, how noticeable was the differ
once between Columbia river fish and
those caught elsewhere, ana how stupid
1t was TO suppose that the generic term
Salmon" meant simply one species and
that there was no distinguishing color
or flavor whatever In this work the
Astorlan has received the very generous
and almost unexpected support of every
great trade paper on this continent. The
columns Of all OF them have contained
liberal quotations from this paper every
week, disseminating the Information We
have felt II our duty to give out, I'm
every town and village In the United
States
The eannorymen were, or professed to
be, jubllant over the resIts of our
efforts, and when It Is remembered how
vastly to their benefits such efforts were
certain TO accrue. 1t is little matter for
wonder that they reJolced. 1t is therefore
absolutely incomprehensib.e to us how
any body OF sane persons, seemingly good
and shrewd business men, can deliberate
" inaugurate policy, as they have done
during the past few days, the effect OF
which win be not only the publication
of any results our teachings have had,
but the creation OF an absolute feeling
OF distrust for anything bearing the

OUR OWN MARKET.


A great change has taken place in the
aspect OF American commerce since the
days when The United States was regard
ed as a vast farm which was to furnish
agricultural products to Europe and to
take In exchange the manufactured goods
of the cd word. The time has come
when America not only leads in agri-
culture but in manufactures, and when
the larger part OF the manufactured prod
ucts consumed IN the United States are
made within our own borders. In the
meantime there has been a slow but
steady decrease in the export Of our
breadstuffs, decrease not entirely ow-
ing to the incres sed home demand. Rus
sla, Australia and the Argentine Repub-
lie have been making great headway in
wheat production and to some extent
our market abroad has been affected
by their yearly increasing output With
in three years our exports Of wheat have
fallen from 155,Cl6,OOO In 1923 to 49,
10000 In 1915, d decrease Of almost 81,
OOD,OOO bushels in two years.
With this decrease, which was to a
certain extent inevitable, attendant on
the opening of Russian and South Sea
resources, 1t is nothing short of provi-
Dental for the American farmer, that
his market, as It has been shrinking
abroad, has steadily increased at home.
The American farmer Is poWerless to
compete with the farmer OF Europe when
the latter avai's himself of all the nd-
vantages at his disposal. Farm labor at
cents day Is in Itself a formidable
item Of advantage and this is what the
Russian serf represents in the way OF
expenditure. But the American farmer
has market, independent Of Europe,
It cannot be taken away from him. But
for the policy Of protection adopted by
the government 1T the critical period
in our history the American farmer
would have been anxlous.y watching the
foreign market today and gazing with
desperate eyes on the SLOW but sure de-
crease in the foreign demand for his
wheat, AS 1t is he may not only feel
assured that whenever European markets
are closed to him he must keep on pro-
duclng for the home market, but he may
even now find better and surer mar
ket for his wheat on this side of the
Atlantic than on the other.
