At Cana da,s own Game.

New York, Aug. 14.-Dunkrk fisher
men are aroused over the action of the
captain of the Canadian revenue cutter
Petrol, who turned the vessels guns on
the American tug Silver Spray, says a
Herald dispatch from Dunkirk, n. Y.
Drastic measures are to be used by the
captains of the 20 fishing tugs OF this
port TO protect themselves from the
captain of the Petrol, who several weeks
ago captured and towed to Port Colburn,
Ontario, the tug Kitty d., which at the
time was in American waters.
Although secrecy is being maintained,
it has become known that several OF the
captains are preparing to meet the cap
tain of the Petrol at his own game.
When the Canadian cutter next tries
any tactics like those performed with
the Silver Sp'ay, it is said to be not al
ell unlikely that shot will be returned
for shot, and that Lake Erie will be the
scene of a naval battle.

Hops Oh the Rise.

Salem, Or, Aug. 12.-It is reported
that 20 cents has been offered in Salem
within the last two davs for contracts
for hops of the crop of 1908. While the
information comes from reliable
source, the names of the men making
the offer are not given. Several days
ago III cents pound was offered by a
leading firm for contract hops, and the
raise to 20 cents is said to be due to
advices that the German crop is turning
out poorly.
The abundance of lice on the hon
vines in Oregon yards may also have
helped to raise the price, for if the lice
should injure the crop, first class hops
will be scarce in this state.
There has been great activity among
buyers during the last few days in their
efforts to secure hop contracts, but grow.
ers refuse to sell.

wheat Aicld Good.

La spite Of unfavorable climatic con
ditions which early in the season stunt
ed the growth of the wheat plant in
Sherman and Wasco Counties, the
yield, as indicated by early threshng
returns, will be about equal to that OF
last year, with possibility that new
acreage in Wasco may make the total
output greater than that of year ago,
The yield per acre in Sherman county
is lighter than that of last year, in most
districts, but considerable new acreage
in the southern part Of the county will
probably bring the total yield up to last
years proportions. These results may
be changed by early rains at harvest,
as the crop Is from two to three weeks
later than usual.
Prices now offered are 25 per cent
higher than wear ago, and there is
very little selling.

Baker City Saloon Looted by Mask
ed Men.

Baker City, Or. Aug. IS. Three
mas ked men entered the Miners Cabin
loon this evening at 8 O'Clock and
robbed the three gaming tables in the
back room and the cash register in the
front room of $3.50 cash. The robbers
en- cred the qarl bling-room through the
rear DOOR Two Of the men went through
the gaming tables and the other one
went into the font room and robbed the
cash register of $50.
AS the leader of the gang entered the
front room through the swinging screen
doors, J. r. Donnelly, cashier of the
First National Bank, and Bella Kadish,
mining operator, who were having a
lunch in The rear part of the room, near
the platform, observed the masked
man with gun as he pushed through
the door. Donnelly and Kadlsh made
dash for the front door with the robber
in hot pursuit. He covered Donneliy
with his gun and tried to prevent hlm
from leaving the building. Donnely
refused to halt, and the robber did not
fire at him. Kadish lodged behind the
two large slot machines, but Donnelly
succeeded in getting out.
After DonneIlv got out the robber ran
behind the bar to the cash register,
which he opened, and was taking the
money out when Ike White, an architect,
who was standing in front of the bar,
picked up cracker bowl, which he
threw at the robber, striking him on the
shoulder with such force that the fellow
dropped portion of the money on the
,oor.

Col. Olds: Secretary T. K. Bru-
ner says very extensive preparations
are now being made for North Caro-
lina's participation in the St. Louis
Exposition. A great show will be
made in minerals, and State Geolog-
ist Homes has two very capable men
now in the field collecting specimens.
The display of woods and timbers
will be a great one, and State For
ester w. W. Ashe is now in the field
extending the collection. Mr.. Brun-
er says it is the plan to have extreme
ly large panoramas of mountain for
ests in North Carolina. These are
to be from 60 to 12O feet in length
and to be used as a frieze in the
buildings where North Cardinals ex-
hibits are located. Mr.. Geo. F.
Greene is here in connection with
the making of these panoramas.
Photographs are first taken and then
enormously enlarged and colored in
the most perfect manner. At the top
of the wall space of North Caro-
lina's exhibits in the departments of
forestry,natural history and fisheries,
which adjoin each other, it is ex-
pected to have. one of these grand
panoramic views $50 feet in length,
representing the three departments
above referred~to.

A NapoleOniC Trust builder.

An event that provokes reflection
is the breakdown of Mr.. Schwab,
the President of the great steel cor
poration. The preachers have not
failed to point the moral of it. Com
ing to the helm of the largest indus
trial corporation in the world, he
soon showed a lack of the sturdy
seIf-control that this post of fab
ulous opportunity demanded. To
manage such a great corporation
with success a man must be as calm
and steady and as far above the
temptations of personal luxury or
OF mere gain as the helmsman of a
great State. Mr.. Schwab built him
n houses and enjoyed them; he
travelled luxuriously; he amused him
self at Monte Carlo. There devel-
oped IN him a certain softness and
a love Of luxury which only the idle
can afford. Vast chances of specu-
latlon opened before him. In the
organization of the steel corporation
Itself successful speculation had
played a part. Great Individual for
tunes were made in merely bringing
It's parts together. It was a situation
TO test the fiber of a man severely.
Inc strain was too great for Mr..
Schwab, in spite of his youth and
good training; and his last venture
III tn" ill-fated ship-building trust
caused his practical retirement.

All the farmer has is invested in
lands, houses, implements, ETC., and
yet he has to pay the lions share of
all taxes, directly and Indirectly, as
I will try to show you. The United
States Internal Revenue receipts for
the year 1900 were, on spirits made
from grain, 500, 1858, SIT; on tobacco,
$59,355,O84; on fermented liquors,
e73,55O,754; on banks and bankers,
S1,461. Of the three enormous sums
first mentioned the farmer pays his
share directly and again indirectly
by furnishing the raw material to the
manufacturers for a mere pittance.
National banks, that get their money
for mere nothing, and are exempt
from taxation besides, pay compare
lively no tax at all. Do not these
facts explain the shrinkage of land
values 9-Farm Journal.

srIts have been a failure, as during
the last six years the United States
nroduced 746 per cent of all the cot
ton raised. But a report has just
boon received from England of the
formation of a syndicate to engage
in the cotton growing business in
Rbodesia. where the experiments of
recent date have proved highly salts

from the samples already grown, this
cotton will be able to command the
highest price on the Liverpool mar
ket. Indian, Egyptian, American or
indigenous seed grows equally well.
The labor supply is ample and may
be secured at a low wage. The Ger
mans are also about to inaugurate a
similar enterprise in their East Afri-
can colony, and if these ventures
prove successful the problem of the
cotton supply Will become decidedly
more intricate than it is at present.

It has been proven by some farm
ers in this section that the cost of
raising a thousand pounds of pork
and a bale of cotton is about the
same, unless the hogs are killed by
cholera. AS cholera does not kill
more than one-fourth of the hogs in
a period of, say four years, it fol-
lows that the cost on an average
of raising a bale of cotton and $50
pounds of pork is about the same
