This COuntry's Marvellous Wealth.
The Government returns Of the grain
crop Of 1897 are now complete. They
make almost startling showing Of the
wealth Of the country in soil produc-
ton.
OF corn we produced 1902, OCT 1888
bushels, for which the farmers receiv-
ed-for farm prices only are considered
no less than 1901, O72, 952, or about
one-half the entire national debt.
OF wheat we produced 63O,149, 1853
bushels, which poured into the laps Of
the farmers the sum Of $42S, ,121.
OF oats we produced Cos, 767, 800
bushels, yielding $147,974, 719.
Thus on three grain crops alone our
tillers Of the soil earned SLOT, 594, 1872.
This does not include barley, hay,
beef, mutton, wool, pork, eggs, chick
ems, garden vegetables, fruits, butter,
milk, or any other Of a hundred farm
products that together greatly exceed
these three recorded crops in value. It
does not include the 100000 bales Of
cotton. OF the rice, or the tobacco, or
anything else than three grain prod
ucts.
What a country ours is, to be sure.
when one years crops yield to the cul-
tdvators six or seven times our whole
national debt! What limit shall be set
to the power and glory Of country so
marvelously fruitful New York
World.

progress Of the vessel southwark after
leaving Callao was attended by great
danger owing to storms, and for that
reason the Oregon coaled in the Straits
Of Magellan instead of attempting to
enter the harbor Of Valparaiso. When
the joint resolution Of Congress de-
clared the Cuban people should be free
and that Spanish sovereignty was at
an end on the Western continent, Cap
tain Clark was only twenty-four hours
behind schedule time. The Oregon was
the first warship in history to round
that storm-swept point.
On the Lookout for Trouble.
Captain Clark was warned by cable
Of the dangers that lay in his path and
answered that he was ready to engage
the entire Spanish feet If his superiors
so desired. A brief summary Of the

and said they would prevent any clash
between the representatives OF the two
governments. News Of the magnifi-
cent victory of Dewey's fleet reached
the Americans in Rio de Janeiro~ With
in the harbor Of Brazil's capital the Or
egon and Marietta were Joined by the
dynamite cruiser Buffalo, recently pur-
chased from that government.
Orders came from the Navy Depart
ment to proceed, and the feet Of three
vessels steamed out Of the harbor OF
Rio de Janeiro May 4. They were in
structed to stop at every cable port en-
route and receive instructions.
Oregon Built In the West.
All the material for the construction
and armament Of the Oregon came
from the far Western States. The iron
mines Of California. Oregon, Washing
ton, Nevada, Colorado. and New Mex
leo supplied the crude metal which was
afterward converted into steel for the
hull, great strips Of armor and ponder
GUS castings for the guns. The big bat
tleship was built by the Union Iron
Works, San Francisco. On her trial
trip an average Of 1910 knots was
maintained and II, III horsepower was
developed, 2,111 in excess Of the con-
tract.
In size the Oregon Is only surpassed
by one ship in the navy-the Iowa
The displacement Of the Pacific-born
monster is 10,288 tons. The excess
weight Of the Iowa comes from her
high decks, which are supposed to
make her more seaworthy. When the
Oregon was constructed she was In
tended for coast service, her designers
never thinking Of record-breaking
cruise equal to more than half the dis
lance around the earth's surface. The
Oregon is supplied with bunkers that
give her coal capacity Of 1904 tons.
This enables her to steam $500 miles
without recoaling. The Oregon's COM
plement Of men numbers 473. Her
armor is divided as follows: Belt, Is
inches; deck, 2% inches; barbettes, II
inches: turrets. Is inches; easements.

with Tip" that declaration of war
and actual hostilities would be forth

the Atlantic Ocean she was joined by
the gunboat Marietta, which had left
San Diego several days after the Ore
gon. Together they steamed north

mander Of the Marietta learned Of the
events that had transpired while they
were speeding from the Straits Of Ma

Captain Clark received sealed packet
containing his orders. When the ship
had headed about and steered into the
open sea, Captain Clark communicated
the story Of the Names report and its
reception by the American people to

their excursion around Cape Horn.
Officers and crew exercised the great
est precaution when war with Spain
promised to become the sequel to the
Maine disaster. The ship was given a

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Trade Conditions in the Leading Cities
of the World.


Reported by Downing, Hopkins Co.,, Inc,
Board of Trade Brokers, I'll to ia Chamber OF
Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.l
The statistical news of wheat for the
past week has been very bearish.
Beerbohm reported the worlds ship
menst at IA, 200, 900 bushels, Of which
North America shipped 5,24S, 600
busehls. The American supply of WIS.,
ible wheat increased during the week
1855, 900 bushels, and now totals 49,
$4,000 bushels. The Orange Judd
Farmer report for June makes the WIN
ter wheat acreage 25,651, 900 acres,
after allowing for 100000 acres aban-
doned in California. The spring wheat
acreage shows radical increase every
where, the total area reaching II, $685.
900 acers. The month of May was fav-
orable Tor wheat everywhere except in
California, and the present condition
of winter wheat is reported at 90.7,
against $40 last month and 1875 last
year. The condition of spring wheat is
practically perfect, with an aveage of
99.1, which is the highset figure ever
reported on June by any reliable an.
thority. The situation in Oregon and
Washington is enough better than last
year to practically offset the loss in
California. Bearish sentimnet seems
to be gaining both here and abroad.
A private Liverpool cable says: The
trade is bearish and lower prices must
follow. Upward manipulation is out
of the question, with worlds ship
ments so large and American prospect
is f1attering." Minneapolis reported
no buyers of cash wheat in that mar
ket today. About the only strong fac
tor has been the New York market,
where foreigners are asid to have
bought large quantities for September
and later deliveries. That market has
been we'll sustained, and the foreign
support thus given encouraged a belief
that prices may do better here, at least
temporarily.

Tho interesting wet process" Of q.
tracing copper from pyrites, IN No
near Antwerp, is described in : paper
read before the Association Of Grad
yates Of the Client Technical School
by L. Breda. From this It appears
that the ore, containing from three to
four per cent Of copper. il roasted,
crushed and roasted with salt. Tho
chlorinated ore in quantities Of twenty
five tons is twice washed with some
$50 gallons Of water, then with the
waste liquor from the precipitating
tanks, then with dilute warm sulphurio
acid, and finally with warm water.
The washed ore at last contains only
Ga per cent of copper. The liquor is
run into tanks, and the copper is pre-
cipitated by scrap iron. The some-
what remarkable statement Is made
that by this means the amount
of copper left in the waste liquor
does not exceed Ia gram per gallon.
