Public attention is again dire cted
to Egypt by the military expedition
that is to ascend the Nile in the direc-
ton Of the Dongola. The land of the
Pharaohs has made some progress un-
der the British occupation, but the
burdens Of that interesting but unfor-
tunate country are still great. Egypt
seems large on the maps. but the area
Of the cultivated and settled region
covers only 10. 976 square miles. or
about one and a half times the area of
Massachusetts,. Nearly four such
Egypts would fit in the imperial state
OF New York. Owing to The wasteful-
ness Of Ismail and other Egyptian
rulers, the country is burdened with a
debt Of about 1926, 900, 900. paying
ing from three to five percent to the
creditors. The general debt, which
is nearly half the amount, pays four
percent, which is a high rate for this
period OF light interest The annual
payments on the debt amount to abo ut
$4,000, 900 in gold. The other gov.
eminent expenditures come to 49,

sultan OF Turkey, receives from this
sum an annual tribute OF So. 325. OOO. :.

does not exceed 200, 600. The natives

The wheat harvest in Wasco county is
not what was expected of it.. In the
first place the fall grain, of which great
things we're expected, is not yielding
fifty per cent of estimates. This was
caused by the cold weather last winter,
which froze out much of the grain, and
when forty bushels were expected the
machines are showing but twenty. As a
matter of fact the spring grain is show
ing better yield than the fall grain, it
having been helped by the late rains.
While this is Encouraging it will be
equalized By enhanced prices. A short
age of 100, 100000 bushels in the United

estimates, ought to send the prices
booming.
