The Southern Gentleman in Fact and
Fiction.

/ suppose that some day we will
have Southern gentleman in
drama and literature. 1t ought
to be easy to draw him, but the
painter should forget all that he
has seen of Hoyt, or Clay Clement,
or Augustus Thomas. Wehave had
the true New EngIqnder in books
many times. We have had him
90 the stage. Shore Acres" is a
notable instance. We have had
the true Westerner, although
Bret Harte is not TO be credited
with his creation. Let us hope
for the true Southorner. There is
a literary lead in the South if

has the skill and enterprise to nine

What the Bicycle is Doing.

The grand purpose of cycling,
its sine qua non, is good roads,
This can only be accomplished 10y
n gradual development, by agita-
ton and legislation ON the sub
iect. In the interval of accom-
pIishmcnt all else that follows is
probably economic and useful in
its nature.
Where it has been impossible to
develop the general roads of a
community ON Il broad basis, to
make them equally available for
vehicles of all character, cyclists
have been compelled to erect or to
bring about the erection of special
cycle paths lnNew York, where
the cycling contingent is of con
siderable number, several impor-
tant paths have been built, among
which may be mentioned that of
the Coney Island cycle path, the
cycle path in Oneida county, n,
Y, twenty-four miles long; the
cycle path from Schenectady to
Albany, and the one from Buffalo
to Niagara Falls, In Connecticut
we have the cycle path at Wv
Haven, and in Florida the Shell
path leading out of Jacksonville. |
In Michigan, many paths have
been built, and even in Fayette-
vile, n. c., we find cyclists build
ing paths or having paths built for
the special convenience of the
wheel.
A thirteen-mile cycle path cx
tends out of Salt Lake City along
the Salt Lake and Los Angeles
Railroad. In Delaware and Ohio
cycle paths are now under con-
,ideration, and IN Massachusetts a
part Of every road is specially re-
,eryed for cyclists, and is improy-
d to that end by the county com
nissioners. A cycle path is now
n contemplation from Seattle to
Tacoma, Wn.
The agitation brought about on
his subject since wheeling has be-

APPEALS TO ENGLAND.
China Said to Be Negotiating in London
for Loan.

Berlin, Jan. 6.-The Cologne Ga
zette on authority from the best-in-
formed quarters in Paris, announces
To-Day that since Thursday last import
ant negotiations have been proceeding
IN London for Chinese loan, the at
tempts made in Paris and St. Peters,
ourg to arrange for loan having
ialled. China has offered to contract
lor 4l6, 600, 900 in London. at the same
Time asking the good off ices of the Brit
sh government in her present extrem-
ity.
ohlna, 1t appears, contemplates Of
iering as security the land tax, under
control OF Englishmen, and that fur
hermore an Englishman shall succeed
oir Robert Hart as director of the Chi
nese imperial maritime customs. In
addition Great Britain will insist upon
concession of territory, relative to
Nnich secrecy, according to the inform
ant OF the Cologne Gazette, must be
temporarily observed.
The Cologne Gazette adds that it is
understood Russia has renewed her
Cner to China to conclude loan in
oefmany on more favorable terms than
are ootalnable in Paris or London.
London, Jan. 6.-There is good rea-
sun TO believe the British government
COUnsidering the subject OF assisting
ohlna to raise loan. The Chinese
proposals on the subject are generally
supported by business men interested
In China.
Inc evening News says it is reported
IN IN the city that the negotiations for a
ohinese loan of 5000, 900, guaran-
'eed by the British government, are
Practically concluded.

Board'ot Trade Brokers' 7ll-7il Chamber OF Com
merce Building, Portland, Oregonl
What will Letter do with his wheat,
is the question that is evidently bother
ing traders more than it is him. He
has about 5000, goo bushels cash
wheat. He is also long about 4,O0O,-
600 bushels May. He has wheat
enough to make him tho power in the
market, and it depends upon how he
handles it as to the extent of his profit
or loss. If trade falls off he will be
forced to keep the market alive, as he
did during October and November, by
trading on both sides. If outside
speculation increases he will certainly
have the best of it. There is large
shortage in May, which gives him
chance to ecalp the market on a liberal
scale to his profit. There is talk of
trade getting into July, and leaving
May alone. This might help the short
sellers by prolonging the time of de-
livery, but figuring on the probable
stocks, the chances for large supplies
by the last of July are decidedly poor
tor bear. Were the trade to switch
to September aud leave the intervening
months alone, Letter would be left
with his cash and May in position
where it would not be easy to swing
large line at profit, and the wheat
might have to be shipped out to find
market for it. All these questions
are being discussed by the traders and
nearly every one has different
theory.
Those who stand between the specu-
lator and consumer, the cash handlers
and the millers, are almost to man
bulllsh on wheat, and are talking
higher prices, some predicting $l.25
for May. Armour and Weare expect
that Letter will win out in good shape.
They figure on the milling demand
reaching such proportion that, COM
bined with the export business, it will
absorb the stocks so readily in the sea-
son that the cash holders can dictate
prices. The question of supply and de-
mand becomes factor This, how
ever, has not always in the past been a
benefit to the bulls Last winter and
spring the cash demand was heavy,
stocks were light, but the visible was
1900, 5000 bushels more than at pres
ent. Millers bought the wheat readily
and decreased prices steadily, but in
the face of the reduction prices did not
respond, owing to the lack of specula-
tion. A supply and demand market
is generally slow affair, and it may
not be an exception this year.

New York. Jan. 6.-The special crop

Commerce and Commercial Bulletin
cors; Final returns make the area of
winter wheat 26, 663, 600 acres, as COM
nared with 23, 100000 acres harvested
last year, an increase of 1l.4 per cent.
The increase in California, Oregon
and Washington is per cent, the
approximate acreage being 3,969,0 900,
q, against 3, ,7S9, 900 acres last year.
There has been a material increase in
wheat seeding in the Southern states,
due to the low price of cotton. Favor.
able weather during December improved
the condition of wheat. The present
average is S7.8 per cent, as against "a. l
per cent last month. In the six prin-
cipal states east of the Rocky mountains
the improvement has been more notice.
able The condition in those states
now is S4.S per cent, as compared with
1915 per cent December 81.
On the Pacific coast plant life is in
nearly perfect condition. The average
for Oregon is so; Washington, SO, and
California, 96. The average for the
three states is 96.6 per cent, as COM
pared with 94.S last month. Unfavor-
able results of drought and late seeding
have been partially counteracted by
favorable weather during the past two
months. The temperature has been
below the normal, and there has been
no urgent need of snow protection. No
damage is reported from ice or freezing.
The condition at S7.8 per cent is
equivalent to about 14.6 bushels per
acre, indicating an aggregate winter
wheat yield at date in the neighborhood
Of 800, 900, 900 bushels.
According to the January returns,
there are 0,000,0 900 bushels of wheat
held on farms, which is Ala per cent of
last years production. On the corre-
spending date last year there were held
in the same position 100, 900, 900 BUSH
els. Of this total six principal winter
wheat states east of the Rockies have
$4,000, 900 bushels, or 44.4 per cent of
the last crop; Minnesota and the Da-
kOtas, $4,000, 900 bushels, or Al per
cent, and the Pacific coast 10000, 900
bushels, or 3s.9 per cent.
The present estimated supply of
wheat in all positions is 315, 1000, 900
bushels Domestic requirements for
bread to next July are 100000 600
bushels, and for spring seeding, say,
10000, 900 bushels more-in all 17O,-
100000 bushels, leaving surplus foI
export during the ensuing six months
and for home reserves at the end of
June of 1000, 600 bushels.

CLIPPERTON ISLAND.
A Mexican Version of the Recent Affair
There.

City of Mexico, Jan. S.-A high
official OF the department of foreign re.
lations said today regarding the Clip
perton island incident:
1.-THE sending of the gunboat Demo-
crata on a visit of inspection to por-
tions of the Mexican territory was at
tended with no conflict or difficulty
with the Americans found there, and
in no event could that visit give rise to
international questions, inasmuch as
the occupation of the island, if occupa-
tion it can be called, was the act OF
private persons, having no official char
acter. The American flag was found
flying there, but the Americans them
selves, on hearing from the lips of Mex
ian officers that the island was Mexican
territory, hauled it down, and allowed
the party of Mexicans to run up the
flag OF this country without the slight
est opposition.
