ed thoroughly into the round bale
peoples claims, and we do not believe
that the bale is practical for trade gen-
orally. 1t may suit few mills who
especially desire it, but it cannot be ac-
cepted a. a regular bale nor on anv
orders without specia agreement be-
forehand. 1t is, therefore, useless to
US, and we would not buy it. on anv
terms. There is no advantage n trans
portation. We can get much more
cotton in ship of square bales than
we can the round. We have proved
this to be the case.'
Commenting on the foregoing the
Charleston News and Courier SAYS:
This is very emphatic and very much
to the point. and the whole letter is
worth re-printing."
hese facts are worth careful con-
sideralion. Does it ultimately pay the
cotton producer to patronize round
bale concern when that concern. in
order to market its cotton, has to sell
below the price of square bales in
order to secure buyer? Does not
this loss finally figure in the price
which the company pays the producer,
and is IL not taken from the farmers
pocket? 1t is self-evident PROPOSE
tion.

OREGON STRAWBERRIES.

Washington.
Tacoma. with 10000 population, is sit.
uated we'll toward the southern end of
Puget Sound, where ocean ships meet
railroad cars at the fartherest point in
land. Itis the Pacific Coast terminus
of the Northern Pacific Railroad. and
the company's mammoth shops, ware>
houses, wharves, ETC., cost nearly nine
million dollars. The ,city has every
thing required by big seaport town,
including a dry dock large enough to
receive and repair the biggest vessels
aaoat. The city does an immense for
eign business. The custom house
statement Of exports and imports for
1903 shows that Tacoma's foreign bust,
ness exceeds that of all the ports of the
district combined. The city is admir-
ably laid out, It's avenues being 100 feet
wide, streets 80 feet ana alleys 40 feet
wide. A beautiful park embracing IS
acres is located in the heart of the city,
and shade trees adorn most OF the
streets. Many residences are palatial,
and almost every house and lawn is ems
bellished with vines and flowers re-
markable for their size and brilliant
colors. The city has seventeen public
school buildings, and its educational
system, like most all other western
towns, is the pride Of its people. It has
62t miles Of electric ..and cable street
railways, and mills and factories en-
ploying 5000 men. Among its manu.
featuring industries is a smelter, the
second largest in the world, which we
visited. Ores from Montana, Idaho,
Alaska and British Columbia, as we'll
as those mined nearer home, are treated
there.
Tacoma is a great lumber market,

ameter, speedily converted into Ium Der.
The country round about is rich in
minerals. There are extensive coal
mines about thirty miles away: and
iron, lead, gypsum, building stone aud
other valuable deposits abound in that
part OF the state. Tacoma is already a
large and aourishing city, and its pros.

THE COTTON MARKET.
Open the World Over for Rectangular
Bales-Closed for the Trust Output.

One hears Il great hurrah about the
round bale among those who have been
favorably disposed" by the judcious
use of its plentifully watered stock,
The fact remains that the round bale.
whether put up by the American Cot
ton Company, or the LOwery bale, or
any other round bale, now being put
up or which might be put up, is not a
commercial package. Who ever heard
OF round bale sale-a legitimate
round bale sale? To hear the round
bale folks tell it, thousands have been
sold. Who bought them? Not the
cotton buyers of this country, not bit
OF it. The only sales have been by
and to men on the outside, men who
are interested in boosting the round
bale game. On what are the scales of
cotton regulated, on the round or the
square bale package? Anyone no,
interested in the monopoly will tell
you at once that there is no market fer
the round bale; that the article is not
recognized by the trade and that it is
a thing not to he considered. Cotton
has always been regarded as /. cash
crop. A man viii a bale of cotton can
find a market for it anywhere the
world over-provided it is square bale
cotton. Can the same be said OF the
round bale? As corroboratlve of the
fact that the round bale people have to
create their own market, and that too
at loss, hear what Messrs. Sprunt Il
Son. the great exporting firm Of Wiz
minglOn, wrote TO one of heir cores
pondents at Florence, N. c.:
''We hope you will not adopt the
round bale system. 1t cannot be used
for export at any price, and our agent
in Liverpool writes US that it is sold
over the counter there for less money
than the square bale. We have enter

Among the many Interesting towns
at which we stopped was Eugene, Ore,,
where we took breakfast on the morn-
ing Of July llth. # was served on top
Of butte nearly half a mile high and
which rises abruptly from the center
ofthe valley. A long driveway reaches
the top, which is beautifully wooded,
and from which q scene as grand and
beautiful as mind can conceive Is spread
out on every side. Beneath US lay the
city of Eugene, and extending TO the
foothills on either side lies valley as
level as floor, dotted over with farms
and farm improvements, with fields Of
golden wheat and oats, and with vast
orchards Of prune, peach, apple. cherry
and apricot. The Garden of Eden
could not have been more enticing, and
this valley here is but the counterpart
Of many others that we saw up and
down the 400 mile stretch Of country
from Portland to Ashland, near the
California line. And then the climate,
in summer at least, is almost perfection,
with cool and refreshing breezes always
pouring down from the mountain
heights covered with snow.
And the people yearn for immigra-
tion. They say the country is so vast
1t cannot be filled up and there can be
no competition. There is a home
market for all that Can be raised. Back
In the mountains are mines of gold yet
untouched and in the valleys are mill
lions Of acres yet untitled and ungrazed,
and covering all is this magnificent
climate, pure mountain air, pure
mountain water, no malaria, no fevers,
with an open.hearted, hospitable peo.
pie who think there is no country on
earth like theirs and are generous
enough TO want others to come and
share it with them.

After spending three days in Portland

city on Saturday, July Sth. After an
enjoyable journey, and most kindly and
hospitable treatment at the hands OF
the people 10 the towns through which
we passed, we reached Astoria that day
in ample time to thoroughly invests
gate the city and its surroundings.
Here are locatedthe largest of the
salmon fisheries aud canneries. This
industry, combined with numbering,
makes up the main resources OF this
city. We were taken through some Of
the canneries ard the process Of catch
ing, preparing and canning was gone
into in detail, the various operations
being performed for our benefit. The
salmon is II beautiful fish, the catch
averaging about 12 pounds, although
some OF these fish reach the immense
weis mt of so to 70 pounds. They are a
gamy fish when hooked, but for the
cannerie= they are caught in nets and
traps. The perfection Of labor saving
