Shot Like President Mckinley.

Soon after the attempt upon
the life of the late President Nc
Kinley at Buffalo some army Off
GERS were discussing in the Off.
ce of Lieut.. Gen. Miles the per-
centage of recovery from abdomi-
nal wounds, when the general
took part in the conversation.

one of the few persons so wound
ed that ever recovered. On May
3, 1868, while beating back at the
head of my regiment, rush was
made by Anderson's men on Hook
ers's left wing near the Chancel-
lorville house. | was struck by
"a mimic ball, which penetrated my
abdomen an inch and a half to the
left of the navel, tore through
the intestines and lodged in the
muscles of the back.
"When the surgeon of the regi-
ment reached me / asked him
how long l had to live. In tone
which l thought was very uncon-
cerned he replied; About AZ
hours. 1 doubted theveractiy of
the surgeon on the spot, and told
him that l did not think it was as
bad as that Herefused to argue
the matter with me, and, with
the aid of an assistant proceeded
to probe for the ball and then sew
me up.
'Left to my meditatons, l de-
termined to fool the doctor. AS
the days passed my temperature
subsidized, the wound healed as
nicely as could have been expect
pected, and in three months time
l was on my feet again. The

which is set down as a most re.
markable recovery from an intes-
tinal wound. philadelphia Led

Egg Statistics.

These egg statistics are from
the United States Census Bureau
figures:
The American hen laid last year
100000, eggs.
The total value, at an average OF
10 cents a dozen, was $138, ,O0O,-
600.
The hens earnings were great
er than those of the entire postal
system.
The sum realized would have
paid the expenses of the entire
war department.
Enough eggs were consumed in
New York alone to pay for anoth-
er Brooklyn bridge.
The total weight of the eggs
laid last year was more than /, :
OO0,00O,0OO pounds.
If the eggs were equally divid.
ed among the inhabitants of the
country each human being would
get 14l eggs.
The number of chickens in the
United States is estimated at 1884,
100000.

A Clever Plan.

Probably Ray township, in Ma
comb county, Mich, has the best
gravel roads of any township in
that State, says III. S. Earle in
Good Roads Magazine. This is
the result of the efforts of G. r.
Lovejoy, who is such strong ad-
vocate of good roads that he
wouldn't be contented until the
highways were what they should
be.
Mr.. Lovejoy prevailed upon
the board tu buy a gravel pit;
then he urged every farmer to
haul load of gravel home every
time he passed the pit and put it
on the road in front of his own
farm.
Once begun, the farmers saw
what an improvement gravel is
over the annual scraped back,
worn out earth. The board then
purchased two more pits in diff
ferent parts of the township and
at the suggestion of Mr.. Love-
joy, offered 81 day to farmers
with teams to haul gravel in win
ter and place it on one side of the
road one winter and on the side
the next.
The first winter the farmers
turned out strong, and the town.
ship had to pay for 2,700 days
work, which was a big starter.
Each year for several years the
township has made an appropria-
tion of from 81 900 to 81, 300, and
to-day practically all of the town
ship roads are graveled.
This is cheap but sure way
to get better highways, not, of
course equal to those scientifically
built by the use of road machines,
but a big improvementovers scrap
ing the dust and the mud from
the bitches into the roadway
every year.

NEW YORK, June 19.-The New
York correspondent of the "Mundo"
states that General Gomez has
apparently entirely misunderstood the
tenor OF the dispatch which he says is
false. This dispatch made not the
slightest reference to General Gomez
raising or expending money for any pur-
pose whatsoever.
What it did say. and the story WIS
credited TO the Washington correspond
ent of the Evening Pest" was that
Secretary Root had assumed full re-
sponsibility for the payment OF money
to General Gomez by General Wood dur
ing the American occupation.
1t added that If Congress asked for
an explanation of the expenditures Mr..
Root was prepared TO furnish what he
believes to be convincing proofs that the
payments were dictated by the wiscst

FARM LAND GOOD

Census Office Furnishes
Bulletin Giving Statistics.
Value Of Implements and Machinery
Put at s6,5oe,7a5-Total Value
of Property sI72,76I ,2s7.

The Census Office yesterday issued q
culture in the State of Oregon.
The farms of Oregon, June 1, 1900.
numbered 35.s37. and were valued at
1882, ,337, ,514. OF this amount s19, 1876, ,G94.
or AS per cent. represents the value of
buildings. and S11S. $50. or S5.5 per
cent, the value of the land and improve
Inents other than buildings.
On the same date the value OF farm
implements and machinery was &c. 506.-
125. and of live stock. s33, ,91T ,0i3. These
values, added to that of farms, give
sl72, 2,7Gl,2S1, the total value OF farm
property"
Animal Products.
The products derived from domestic
animals, poultry, and bees, including
animals sold and animals slaughtered on
farms. are referred to in this bulletin as
animal products" The total value of
all such products. together with the
value of all crops, is termed total val
ue of farm products"
This value for 1889 was $4,000, 1863, of
which si6.2S4 ,2S2. or 4S.S per cent.
represents the value of animal prod
ucts, and s21, SOC, ,6S7, or So per cent.
the value of crops, including for
est products cut or produced on
farms The total value Of farm products
for 1899 exceeds that for 1889 by $19,-
+,S49. or 1902 per cent. A portion of
this increase is doubtless due to a more
detailed enumeration in 1900 than in
1890
The gross farm income" is obtained
by deducting from the total value 1f
farm products the value of the products
fed to live stock on the farms OF the
producers In 1899 the reported value
of products fed was S6,19i.7 .721, leaving
$31 ,S96,245 as the gross farm income.
The ratio which this amount bears to
the total value of farm property" is
referred to In this bulletin as the per
centage OF gross income upon invest
ment." For oregon in 1899 it was 1876
per cent.
AS no reports OF expenditures for
taxes, interest. insurance, feed for
stock, and similar items have been OBJ
tained by any census. no statement of
net farm income can be given.
