Argentine Dairy 81 INDUSTRY.

rs 0SUAtuo8 i1dtry luou8Gry .l|5 "
During the year 1902 Argentina ex-
ported 9,308, 200 pound Of butter, chief.
" to England and South Africa, says
2 report Of the United States Depart.
mnt OF Agriculture. This was an III.
crease OF 1S7 per cent over the OK.
po1tation OF the previous year, which
was 1882 1871 pounds. There are no
statistics Of production for home con-
sumption, but the best estimate avail.
abe-that Of the Rural society-puts
the production Of the province Of Bue-
nos Aires at 20 tons per day. The
production and consumption of butter
outside this province 1t is not possible
to estimate closely, but certainly all
the rest of the country does not pro.
duce 10 per cent of the amount pro-
duced in this province, If we leave out
of the account the amount produced
and consumed in the city and vicinity
of Rosario, the second city of the Re-
public, having a population of over
10000. Even this city is supplied.
to large extent, from the province of
Buenos Aires, for as yet only a small
proportion of the estancieros are maxi
ing butter. The private production
and consumption must also be omit
ted in this comparison, for that is in
creasing on the estancias. Still there
are thousands of people owning vari-
Gus numbers Of cattle who either go
without butter or buy it in the towns.
The city of Buenos Aires, with it's
$4,000 people, is, of course, the chief
local market for Argentine butter, and
1t is we'll supplied with very good
quality. The consumption is estimat-
ed at only. AZ pounds per capita per
annum. The working classes do not
have butter on their tables as they do
IN the United States. The present
price in the city is about % to "a
cents gold per pound. To supply the
demand there are four great factories,
or systems Of factories. Their plan
of operation is something unique. The
industry is, Of course, only in it's in
cipiency, but it is interesting to note
the process and rapidity of its devel-
opment, its extensive possibilities and
the probability of it's immediate and
tremendous growth. La Union Argen-
tina, the chief butter maker of Argen.
tina, is cooperative creamery on a
very large scale. 1t was organized in
1899 to save the butter industry from
the collapse that threatened it, which
was due to the wastefulness of small
individual production and the lack of
uniformity and modern methods.
Argentine butter is of a very good
quality, and uniformity is secured by
the large production under one man
agement. It lacks the firmness and
grain Of United States butter, how
ever, and even without considering
the act that it is never sailed, unless
SO c"dered, it does not seem to have
quite the rich flavor of that made in
the best creameries Of the United
States. However, it suits the Euro
peaL market very we'll and is gaining
ground there.

Two Societies of Carpenters.

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
IN last evenings issue you have so mixed the
names of two organizations to make them
appear one.
The Amalgamated Woodworkers Of America
is an American organization composed Of mill
hands who do not. as a rule, work outside Of
the mill.
The mill workers Of the District of Columbia
are organized as Local No. HOS Of the United
Brotherhood Of Carpenters and Joiners Of Amer
lea. They are skillful workmen, and fully
capable Of deciding for themselves their af-
iliation without the application Of lash from
the American Federation Of Labor Forty FIVE
thousand mill workers throughout the United
States and Canada are organized locals u
the United Brotherhood Of Carpenters and join
ers. and we are asked to put them out of our
national union 70 swell the ranks Of the Anal
gamated woodworkers.
The "Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and
Joiners" is a branch Of the English organiza-
ton, with their headquarters in Manchester.
England
They are composed of house carpenters. and
number less than 5000 in the United States
and Canada.
Contemplate. in point Of numbers, they are
capable Of much mischief, if they are so dis
posed. So far as rivalry is concerned, that il
out of the question What show would they
have to gobble up the American organization
that now pays a per capita tax about 1G5, 00c
members TO the American Federation OF labor
As feliow-craftsmen, we have no fault 70 fnt
with the Amalgamated Society individually
and would gladly welcome them into our rank,
as American carpenters. Such step on theii
part would insure peace with the maste
builders.
We will not admit that this country is larg
enough for two national unions Of carpenters
Neither win submit TO any subdivision o
our trade, even under the dictation Of thu
American Federation Of Labor
Nor will we surrender our national characte
as carpenters and become the tail Of the Englisl
kite. G. EDMONsTON,

passers-by might be able to see their
signs. 1t ought to be patent to any
ordinary intellect that trees do not
obscure business signs to any great
extent; indeed, it is hard to see how
they are in the way at all, when the
signs cover the entire front Of the
building, as they do in some cases. AT
any rate, the absence of trees gives
the Avenue a glazing sunht appear
arce, which, in such climate as this,
is enough to keep away possible Gus

Created Duke of Northumberland.

This Duke of Somerset, in turn, left
only one daughter, and while his duke
dom OF Somerset passed to a distant
cousin, Alnwick Castle and the i'm
mense Percy. estates were bequeathed
to this daughter. who married a coun-
try town banker of the name of Hugh
Smithson, whose grandfather had been
an apothecary. Owing to the immense
territorial influence which Hugh Smith
son exercised as controller of the vast
Percy estates. Prime Minister Pitt was
only too glad to listen to his demands
for a peerage under the style of Duke
of Northumberland, this being, OF
course. in exchange for a promise OF
his political support. George III, how
ever, raised serious objections to sane
tioning his prime minister's resolve
and when at length he yielded. he did
so with the cutting remark that al
though he could create Smithson a Duke
of Northumberland. he could never
make him gentleman.
The patrOnymic of the Duke of North
cumberland of today is therefore really
Smithson. and he is Percy merely By
royal license.

General Cary a Candidate.

Another prospective candidate for the
Senate is Ex- Postmaster General James
A. Gary. He has not signihed his in
tention OF entering the race, yet his
friends declare that he would not oppose
any effort which they might make in his
tehalf. The fact that he will have
rivals for the Republican nomination is
not seriously worrying Senator Nc
omas; his anxiety is over the election
CT a Republican Legislature. He be-
lieves that the more candidates to en-
ter the field against him, the better
chance the party will have OF overcom-
ing the adverse majority OF fifteen. and
regaining control of the Legislature. He
believes that he will be able to win
in the Republican caucus II the Demo-
Gratis elect majority on joint ballot
there is little doubt that Senator Nc
Comas will receive the empty honor Of
denomination by his party. but II the
Republicans are successful he will be
Obliged to fight to retain his laurels.
The Democrats look at the situation
In much the same light as does Senator
McComas. They believe that the an
nouncement OF Mr.. Rayner that he will
be candidate greatly enhances their
chances Of carrying the Legislature. and
also look with favor upon the candi-
eacy of Ex-Goy. E. E. Jackson. for the
reason that he will also help TO pull
through the legislative tickets. Which
ever party wins IN the Legislature. a
merry contest may be promised, when
the time comes TO ballot for a United
states Senator.

Authentic Percys SIN Live.

There are. however, authentic Percys
still in existence both in this country
and also in Belgium. Some of the works
on British and American genealogy
make mention of the American Percys,
and insist that they are entitled, as the
descendants of Henry Percy. younger
son of the ninth Earl of Northumber-

earldom of Northumberland. AS. how
ever, the honor would be barren, since
there could be no question OF depriv-

Flushing the Streets.
Let Us Have Clean Streets Whatever
II Costs.

A discussion has arisen over the
best method of keeping our streets
clean. The flushing method has been
tried, and has proved satisfactory,
though somewhat more expensive
than mere sweeping. Then it was al
legged by Captain Newcomer, Of the
Engineering Department, that this
system resulted in shortening the life
of the asphalt. In support of this
theory he cited the case of St. Louis.
where the flushing system is used, and
the life Of the paving is much shorter
than il is here. He pointed out that
ii the cost of new paving every five
years is added to the cost of flushing,
the result would be enormous eX-
