American Desert Air.
From 1.-The Desert. "

We have often heard Of s'Sunny Italy" or
the "elear light of Egypt, but believe me
there is no sunlight there compared with that
which fans upon the upper peaks Of the Sierra
Madre or the uninhabitable wastes of the Col
orado Desert Pure sunlight requires for its
existence pure air, and the old world has lit-
tie of it left When you are in Rome again
and stand upon that bill where all good No.
manists go at sunset, look out and see how
dense is the atmosphere between you and st.
Peters dome. That same thick air is all
over Europe, all around the Mediterranean,
even over in Mesopotamia and by the banks
of the Ganges. 1t has been breathed and
burned and battle smoked for 10000 years.
Ride up and over the high table lands OF
Montana-one can still ride there for days
without seeing trace of humanity-and how
clear and scentless, how absolutely intangi-
BILE that sky blown, sunshot atmospheric You
breathe it without feeling it, you see through
it a hundred miles, and the picture Is mol
blurred by it.
It is Just SO with Natures color. True
enough. there is not much rich color at fe-
nice, at Cairo, at Constantinople. Its beauty
need not be denied; and yet it is an Artificial
chemical color, caused by the disintegratIon
of matter-the decay of stone. wood and IRON
torn from the neighboring mountains. II Is
Nature after poor fashion-Natnre suDor-
dinated to the will of man. Once more ride
over the enchanted mesas of Arizona at sun
rise or sunset, with the ragged mountains OF
Mexico to the south of you and the broken
spurs of the great Sierra about you, and all
the glory of the old shall be as nothing to the
gold and purple and burning crimson OF this

Relative to the statement that the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad would divert its freight
traffic from the Western Maryland Railroad
at Cherry Run to the Cumberland Valley
Railroad which is practically owned by the
Pennsylvania, the New York Commercial says
that the Cumberland Valley is already having
this traffic diverted to it, involving loss, it
is said, of 1000 cars day from the Western
Maryland. tits well understood this is another
blow aimed at the Gould interest by the Penn
sylvania for the invasion by the former OF
seaboard territory.
Cant. Andrew Woodal, of Georgetown, the
grain king of the Eastern Shore, is having the
wheat crops on his 80 farms in Cecil and Kent

finest on the Eastern Shore, are about evenly

l25, 600 bushels Mr.. Woodall is 83 years of
age; began life as poor boy, and now is re-
puted to be a millionaire.

The employees of the departments are paid
monthly or semi-monthly by disbursing
officer in each Bureau. They sign the pay
roll and take their money in an envelope.
The President is the only one Of Uncle
Sans employees who does not sig the pay
roll. His salary is sent to him every month
from the Treasury Department in the form of
a Treasury warrant. 1t is taken over by a
special messenger, and from the White House
it is sent TO one of the local banks and de-
posted to the credit of the Presidents private
account. The warrant, when presented for
collection, is taken up and cancelled, and
goes into the files of the Department as a
voucher for the treasurer.
The Presidentgets $12. 500 per quarter, but
he does not get exactly a third of that sum
each month. His monthly pay is computed
by the Government salary book in the same
manner as that of an ordinary clerk.

BIG BOOST FOR LINE.
$4,000 Raised for the Goldendale. Portland
Railroad

Goldendale, Wash, Feb. 1O.-The
citizens of Goldendale and Kick '"'
county have raised $40 900 for the right
of way for the railroad from this city
to Portland. The committee in charge
of this matter considers this amount
sufficient to secure the right of way
from Goldendale to Lyle, II miles.
All rights of way have been secured
excepting three or four between Golden
dale and the head of Swale canyon, a
distance OF abont Is miles, through the
farming part of Klickitat county. The
rest of the route lies principally
through government lands, there being
but few settlers and few Indian
claims along the Big klickitat, there
fore little trouble will be encountered
on this score.
Contracts have not yet been signed,
but it is expected that work will CON-
mence on the grading within 80 days.
The company organized for the pur-
pose of building this line will reserve
two years in which to complete the line
from Lyle to Goldendale, but expects
to carry the crop from the Klickitat val
ley this year. Property valuations
have already advanced perceptibly in
the vicinity of Goldendale and along
the route of the proposed road.

TRADE OUTLOOK IN ORIENT.
Agent OF Agricultural Department Writes to
Secretary Wilson,

Washington, Feb. 6.-Secretarv Will
son has received Il report from David G..
Fairchild, the expert of the department
OF agriculture, who, with Mr.. lathrop.
a wealthy New Yorker, is exploring the
world for new plants for introduction
into this country.
The report is dated at Colombo. Cev-
Ion, and discusses general conditions in
China. He says the missionaries.
frightened out by the recent troubles.
are returning to their posts and that
foreign merchants claim that the out
look for trade improvements is very ia
vorable in the region of Shanghai.
American trade, he says, is more than
holding its own against that of other
countries, but adds: "Japan's trade
has greatly increased in China of late
and she is not only an active, but NAV
become dangerous competitor"
Mr.. Farchild went to Canton in
plums, scions and trees of which he an
nounces he has shipped here, together
with some promising leitchees, BAN
boos and persimmOns for California and
Florida. He says producers and ship
pers in China and Japan are much in
terested in the final outcome of the ex-
periments of this government in the
home production of tea, but apparent
ly are skeptical and believe the cost of
picking is too great for the industry to
succeed here.
The American occupation of Manila
has led to a remarkable increase in the
price of labor, hotel accommodation
and food products in China. Coolies
wages have greatly increased in Hong
Kong since the Spanish-Amercan war
and important new enterprises COM
plain of scarcity of labor. Hotel
prices are so per cent higher than be-
fore the war and residents claim that
the general cost of living has doubled
in the last five years. The Chinese gov
eminent, to pay its war indemnity, has
levied a tax of 5 cents, American, a
year on each rafter of every house in
the country. Foreigners already pay
about 1 per cent ad valorem on practi-
cally everything imported. The viceroy
in Canton is already having great diff
Guilty in collecting tie taxes and white
people living there say this tax on the
natives is arousing great deal of ami
mostly toward foreigners.
"The growth of our agricultural, az
well as other exports to China" Mr..
Fairchild predicts, twill be a phenom-
email one, and include many classes of
canned and dried goods from our Or
chards and preserved meats and dairy
products from our farms and ranches. :"
Mr.. Fairchild says British army
officer assures him that the Chinese
arsenal at Tien Tsin is manufacturing
cannon and small arms which fall very
little short OF being as good as those of
the Europeans and Americans.
The awakening of China is going on
with rapidty that will soon astonish
those Westerners who refuse to recog-
nize the course things are taking.

CUBAN ANNEXATION.
Republic Invited to Become Part Of the
United States.

| Washington, Feb. 7.-Representative
Newlands, of Nevada of the ways and
means committee, who was the author
of the resolution annexing Hawaii, to-
day introduced resolution inviting the
republic of Cuba to become part of
the United States, first as territory
called the state of Cuba; and also
authorizing 25 per cent reduction of
duty on the present crop of Cuban
sugar, in consideration of Cuba's grant
ing preferential rates to the United
States. The resolution confines the 25
per cent reduction of duties to the Pc
Rod prior to January l, 1903. New
lands, in explanation of his resolution
said:
"All those who have appeared to
voice Cuba's needs and requirements
have indicated that an invitation to
Cuba of annexation would be accepted.
Annexation by force would not be justi-
fed. 1t must be accomplished, if at
all, by the free act of the Cuban peo-
Pile. At present there is no machinery
in Cuba by which the popular will can
be tested, but the Cuban constitution
has been adopted. The Cuban congress
will meet in February, a Cuban govern
ment will be''organized, and the United
States will then leave the government
and control of the island to the people.
Cuba then will be in a position to ex-
press her will"
