FOR PARIS EXPOSITION
Government Agent Here to
Collect Ores for Exhibit.

Joseph S. Woodruff, a we'll known and
extensive mining operator from Chicago,
reached Sumpter Saturday. The purpose
Of Mr.. Woodruff S trip west at this time
Is to look after his mining interests in
western Oregon. He Is one Of the princi.
pal owners Of the Bohemia, In the Cas-.
cades.
Learning Of his proposed trip, Freder.
ick J. v. Skiff, director Of the depart.
ment Of mining and metaIiurgy for the
Paris exposition, commissioned him to
make collection Of Oregon ores for ex.
hibition at that great worlds fair. And
that Is the direct cause for his visit to
Sumpter. He saw r. r. Meilis, com.
missioner from this state to the Paris
show, for only few moments while In
Baker City, en- route to Sumpter, and
therefore reached no definite understand.
ing with him relative to the matter.
While In Portland he will call on General
Passenger Agent Hurlbert, Of the o. R.
4 NJ, to secure his cooperation.
Oregon will doubtless have Its own
separate mineral exhibit at Paris, and in
this case Mr.. Woodruff S mission will
merely be to urge the importance Of max.
ing q comprehensive and ereditable dis.
play. The return to the owners Of any
ores entrusted to his care Is insured by a
government bond.
He saw and was favorably impressed
with the exhibit from the Sumpter district
at the Spokane fair, and on account Of the
information there acquired, came direct
here to prosecute his work, knowing that
the richest ores old mother earth ever
yielded are found in the Blue mountains
surrounding this camp.
Mr.. Woodruff says that the fame Of the
Sumpter district has reached Chicago,
and mining men are 50 much interested
that several will come out in the spring
looking for investments. He himself
hopes to become interested sooner o. later.

BAKED BEANS EXPRESS TRAIN.
1t Brings Tons of This Food to Exilet
Bostonians

Your true Bostonian who is forced
to exist in New York has little to com.
fort him in his exile.
There is only one solace to his cup
of bitterness, and that is his Sunday
morning breakfast And as he sits
down complacently to this one meal
of all the week which reminds him oil
home he offers up fervent prayer oil
thanksgiving for two mercies. One is
that he is still Bostonian, and the
other is for the baked bear train.
The baked beans train comes rolling
into the Grand Central depot in New
York every Sunday morning at about
o'clock. 1t comes In every other
morning, to be sure, but only on Sun
days does il possess any special signifi-
canoe. There is always an express
car attached, but on week days it is
filled with miscellaneous cargo.
Not so on Sunday mornings. Then
there is a penetrating aroma, which
comes from stacks and stacks OF fresh
ly baked beans in pots. They are con-
signed to an enterprising purveyor in
New York, who covers regular route
with a number of delivery wagons
Within two hours after the train comes
in the contents of the express car have
been distributed.
The Saturday night run out of Bos-
ton is known among the train hands
as the baked beans run.

INDUSTRIAL OPENINGS IN PORTO
N RICO.

Lines, which are used universally
on the island, are very abundant, and
during the Towering season perfume
the air for yards around with the deli
cate odor Of their blossoms. The fruit
reaches size and perfection seldom
seen elsewhere, and the large paper
skinned varieties almost cause one to
mistake them for lemons. They are
never raised with intent and never ex-
ported, but they may always be found
fresh in the market-places. The bot
thing of lime juice has been found very
remunerative elsewhere, and is Of

of sugar growing, coffee or tobacco

wealth, and it is believed that no IN
vestor, for the next ten years, can &c
amis by putting his money and his wits
into this form of toll. What are sorely
needed today, however, to assure com
plete success, are direct lines of fruit
ers running from the island ports to
the great marts of our Atlantic sea-
board. 1t is possibly on account of the
lack of such transportation that the
more perishable fruits have never
found their way to the United States.

rocks which have been covered over

1t is said that cocoanut- raising is

there is much more labor connected
with the industry than the casual OBJ
server would imagine. The sandy mar
gins of the coast-line, where sugar-es-
tate holders are willing to part with
them, are sold for very low figures.
The trees rapidly spring to maturity,
and after very few years bear i'm

heavy expenses lie in the laborious
methods of gathering the nuts by
climbing the trees and hacking the
branches from the lofty heights, and
again in the difficulties which are met
with in releasing the nuts from the
heavy fibrous husks. Cultivation of
