 Why is it that. since days before even tradition begins, the annual inundation by the Nile of the terri tory along its banks has been regard cd as a national blessing, while sim liar rises of the Mississippi every year inflict almost incalculabled dam age to a country whose residents re- gard the ancient Egyptians, and the modern ones. too, for that matter. as little better than barbarians2 The only possible answer is that in the one case intelligent advantage has been and IS taken of natures ire sistible workings, while in the oth- CT an attempt whose hopelessness was demonstrated long ago is made to interfere with them The condi- tiOns of life and agriculture along the two rivers are by no means so dissimilar as to warrant the adop- ton of exactly contrary methods. Tho waters of the Mississippi bring down in solution every spring an amount of potential wealth almost beyond human powers of estima- ton, and, instead of accepting the gift, we do our utmost to bury it all under the waters of the Gulf of Mexico We have millions to spend for levees that stand only when they are not needed, and more millions with which to buy artificial ferti- hzers for exhausted acres, but seem to lack the adaptability to circum- stances that enables naked fellahs to exult over a phenomenon for which learned and scientific occi- dentals feel horror and fear.-New York Times.

wnd African Dogs of Prey.

Two of tho wild African hunting dogs were shot on the top of Zom ba mountain recently. These beasts as is well known. hunt in packs. Al the moment theywcTe first seen the pack was in full pursuit after 8 bush buck Tho buck took refuge 1T some thick cover, and the dogs aft erward came out, showing little fear of human beings.
 At a distance they appeared to have a dark colored body, the tai itself showing very bushy and white When close. however, 1t was seen that the color was a mix ture of black, yellow and white, with fluffy hair. The ears are some what like those of a hyena, and the head also, when looked at sideways, is somewhat like that ct a hyena Looking at 1t, however, from the front, it appears to be the head oi an ordinary good sized dog.

A Lokt Art.

Indian arrow heads, which were so plentiful, being found in many places in large quantities, are be- coming very scarce and valuable. There was time when they had but little or no value, but the enor nous quantities of them exhibited n the numerous museums in this country and the world has almost consumed the stock to be found. IL IS lost art among the Indians, and jt is doubtful if there is an Indian now living who can make an arrow head They were made of the yari- ous fints. though in some sections the Indians were forced to use a yellow or pink stained flint.

Committee Amendments.

Washington, June 12.-The Repub-
Hcan members of the finance commit.
tee viii withdraw the amendments for
an additional tax on beer and for 8
duty Of 10 cents per pound on tea. The
question of revenue is giving the com
mittee considerable concern. If there
should be a withdrawal of the increase
on tobacco, the bill would not meet the
needs as a revenue producer. For this
reason. it has been practically deter
mined to make bank check stamp tax.
The committee has agreed upon d
number OF additional amendments tC
the agricultural schedule, the most i'm
portant Of them relating to fish.
The rate on chicory root was fixed al
2 N cents per pound, the present rate
being 3 cents and the original finance
committee rate of 2 cents.
Concerning the Hawaiian treaty,
there are several propositions under
consideration by the committee. They
include the endorsements of the Davis
amendment and continuing the pres
ent treaty in force without reservation,
suggestion to the president that a
new treaty should be negotiated, modi-
flying the terms of the existing agree
ment so as to render them less partial
TO Hawaii, and a proposition looking
to the giving of years notice to the
Hawaiian government of the abroga-
tion Of the present treaty. This latter
proposition is understood to originate
with Senator Aldrich, and is antagon-
ized by the special champions of Ha-
wall. The opinion is freely expressed
by senators that the question of annex
alton will be taken up by the admins
tration as soon as the tariff bill is
passed.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
DownIns. Hopkins 8 compsay's Review
OF Trade.

We have witnessed almost an entire
week of heavy dragging markets with
an undertone OF weakness that has been
an entire reversal Of the feeling exhib-
tied heretofore, and prices have daily
declined fractionally with no rally
whatever. The news has also under
gone an entire change, and bear news is
now plentiful in almost every. direction.
The statistical situation however is as
strong as ever, but has lost its force as
an argument because foreigners will not
pay any attention to it, and seem to be
utterly Indifferent to the fact that our
visible is now down to "a, 400, 900 BUSH
els, and their purchases are very mod
crate, even at the decline. Last weeks
exports amounted to 2,620, 900 bushels,
while receipts in the Northwest have
shown surprisingly large and have been
enc OF the causes of the decline, Re-
ports from the winter wheat states are
very bright, and harvesting has COM
menced in Texas. Oklahoma and Kan
sas. AS yet there is little to judge by,
but reports say the yield will be very
heavy. Thoman's report last week
estimated the winter and spring wheat
crops would show total yield of $780,
000, 900 bushels. Cables are coming
weak and lower daily, and it begins to
look as if the bulls were beaten again,
and just at the time when they be-
lieved themselves on the threshold of
seeing their hopes of better prices real
lied. Their position was never stronger
than it is now, and the situation is
such, that should the demand for cash
wheat and flour again show signs of
reviving, we would see sharp return,
but until this demand does materialize,
there does not seem to be much hope
for better prices. Our visible supply
decreased 2,447,0 900 bushels and the
worlds shipments were 6,700, 900
bushels. showing that importing coun-
tries are as yet drawing the greater
portion of needs from other sources.

PFANNER is MISSING.
Disappearance Of the President Of the
Forest Grove Bank.

Disappearance OF the President Of the
Forest Grove Bank.
Forest Grove, Or, June 14.-The
Forest Grove bank closed its doors at
noon today, because of an order to thar
effect received by Cashier F. T. Kane
from Anton Pfanner, the president OF
the bank.
The order came in a registered letter
to Mr.. Kane, from Portland, in which
letter was also an assignment to S.
Hughes and A. Hinman, made by Mr..
Pfanner Tor the benefit of all his cred
Ttors.
In the letter, Mr.. Pfanner said that
) he felt that he had reached the point
where he feared to go on with his bus
mess affairs, as he did not feel that he
would be able to stand the mental
strain; that he intended to go off among
strangers for quiet, and if he got we'll,
he would return; if not, he would die
among strangers.
1t is feared here by many that he has
committed suicide.
About three months ago Mr.. Pfanner
had serious illness, and had not fully
recovered. He had for the last few
days a premonition that he would have
a recurrence Of the trouble, and feared
that it would result fatally.
Mr.. Pfanner was considered one OF
the wealthiest men in the county, and
it is thought he had plenty to pay all
claims against him. There does not
seem to be any reason why any one
should worry who have claims against
him. An inventory of his real estate
was being made today, and his per-
sonal effects will be inventoried tomor-
row. Until this is complete, it will
not be known what his Liabilities and
assets are.
Mr.. Pfanner did large real estate
and loan business, and enjoyed the
public confidence. He was at the front
IN many ventures Of public nature,
and it was he who built recently q
private telephone line from here to
Hillsboro.
