SHEET REMEMBERING.

A San Francisco man who died re- cently left a widow. This widow has had his bones cleaned and articulated and will keep them in her private apart ments. where she can see them con- stantly, or often.
 'Tis sweet to be remembered, and this is a sweet way Of remembering. If the man who died had a spirit, and if that spirit can come where his bones are, his beloved and loving widow will have all there is left of him, and there will be almost as much of him as there was in life. He wont be able to talk 10 her except by knocks. or some other dignified manifestations, but she can talk to him without any danger of be- ing interrupted or disputed We hope she will enjoy having him around as much as she expects to. and we more than hope that the day will not come when she will feel obliged to love an other and throw her first husband $ wired bones out on to the ash-heap. Probably no such day will come, for love that can find comfort in skeleton can fairly be expected to last for- ever and a day.

THE INTERNATIONALLY RUSSIANS

Russia has her hands full nowadays.
 The following is a specimen of the kind
 of awakening literature which the va-
 rious revolutionary agents are scatter

 the Social Democrats: The Russian
 government had promised all the other
 Powers to maintain the inviolability of
 China, had promised to give Manchuria
 back to China not later than October 8,
 1903, and has not kept this promise.

BIC FARMING.

There is some big farming going on in San Joaquin county, California. There are now fifteen traction engines engaged in blowing on lands in this county. and each engine blows from forty to fifty acres per day. On the isl- ands few of the engines are kept blowing night and day. These engines are provided with headlights as power eul as those used on modern locomo- tives, by the aid of which the engineer is enabled to follow his last furrow as closely as in the daytime. Not only does this big steam horse blow the land, but it seeds and harrows it at the same operation on land which is to be planted to grain. Each blow is fitted with seeding device, behind which fol- low teeth that cover the grain just at the proper depth. Nearly all of the engines are oil burners. Four men and span of horses and a wagon make up the crew of one of these big blowing machines. On the engine are the en- gineer and fireman. The third man rides on the blows and the fourth heuls the seed. oil and water to the outfi. as it is needed.
 This is progress By and by all the real work that the western farmer will have to do will be to go to and from the bank in his automobile, and per- haps his wife or his children can be trained so as to relieve him of that

PRE coon CREDF1, THOUGH
 The United States Investor calls at tention to the quotations of British consols and American per cents. and thinks the higher price of the latter gratifying to American pride, but warns it's readers against the idea that our credit is as much better as the figures seem to say. The British gov- ernment, says the Investor, turns it's consols adrift, as it were, upon the open market, permitting natural demand and natural supply to fix the price. In the United States, however, the government has artificialIy boosted the price by vir- tually compelling the national banks to bid for and digest great quantities of the government securities, thus restrict-
 ing the supply to a point where there is an eager demand. Under these eondi- tions 1t would be surprising if the mar ket for American securities were not better than that for the British consols.
 The banks buy the bonds because they
 have to in order to issue notes or secure. government deposits. Their bids are due, not to the credit, but to the man.
 date of the government. It is absurd,
 therefore. to argue that the fact that American consols sell the highest of any government issues in the world proves that America's credit is highest. True enough, but the credit of the United States is so good in other ways lthat perhaps there is no exaggeration in calling it the best there is.

The newly issued Statistical Ab- stract of the United States, that for the fiscal year 1903, contains some in- formation on question the answer to which has hitherto been mainly a mat ter of conjecture, namely, how many Americans take trips to Europe in a year. In the twelve months covered by the figures given the number of cabin passengers carried away from the ports of the United States was 168,211 This is said to be the largest number ever recorded, which may be taken as proof that the prosperous con- dition of the country has been great stimulus to foreign travel. Deducting foreigners returning to their home countries, the cabin passengers carried out were 14O,092, while during the same period the number listed as returning was 140,669.

None of the notices of the Duke of Cambridge has mentioned his intense indignation at the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hanover in 1866, says Lon- don Truth. "The duke, who was then next heir to the Hanoverian throne, after the crown prince (now the duke of Cumberland), who had just attained his majority, felt so bitterly on the subject that he could not bear any al- fusion to it for some years afterward, and it was raw to the end of his life. The Duke of Cambridge and his mother were enthusiastic 'Austrians in 1866, and the war not only extinguished Hanover as a separate kingdom, but it also deprived his first cousin, the Land grave of Hesse, of his sovereignty and dominions."

tude in Egypt, yet the situation is far
from an easy solution.
The questions arising from out the
Monroe doctrine, as to empire build

own country. 1t would take tremend
GUS administrative efforts and great
organizing ability devoted to the
work in a truly humanitarian spirit,
to avert from Russia, now, the doom
of her aristocracy.

of Russia will yet attain a freedom
freedom, l trust, unmarried by the
bloody atrocities with which the

RAIN

LUE VERNON.
Heavy fall the drops tonight
On the pane,
On snow-drop and aconite
Drips the rain,
On the buds that dare to peep
Early from their winter sleep,
On the grass that shows as green
AS in April's laughing sheen,
Cold and dull as memoried pain
Drips the rain.
Heavy fall the drops tonight
On the pane,
On gallant crocus, golden bright,
Drips the rain.
On primrose shy as maiden's dream
On violet's pure pathetic gleam-
Daring darlngs to be lost,
If time should bring belated frost
To renew the wintery pain
Drips the rain.
Are these fresh sweet hopes of onrs
Vague and vain?
Must they droop like hothouse flow
ere,
In the rain?
Is the fabric built in sand,
BY fond heart and loving hand,
But toy for mocking fate?
Nay! Faith is firm, and Love is
great,
They will bear in storm or strain,
Let it rain!

A TRlfLE MIXED.

Three smart men and three nice girls
All lovers true as steel
Decidedly in friendly way
To spend the day awheel.
They started in the early morn,
And nothing seems amiss,
And when they reached the leafy lanes
They in like
rode twos this
They wandered by the verdant dale,
Beside the ripping rill;
The sun shown brightly all the while;
They heard the song birds trill.
They sped thro' many a woodland glade,
The world was full of bliss
And when they rested in the shade
Theysat intwos like this!
The sun went down and evening came
A lot too soon, they said;
Too long they tarried on the way,
The clouds grew black o'erhead.
Down dashed the rain! They homeward
flew
Till one unlucky miss
Slipped sideways-Crash! Great Scot
The lot
Observation-Disclosures!

WE LEAD OREGON.
UNCLE SANS FIGURES SHOW
WE AGAIN BEAT WEBFOOT.

We Excel by Over a Million Dollars in Value
of Our Corn, Barley, Oats. Rye. Potatoes
and Hay, the Product of Oreson-Its Value
is Nearly Sl7,OOO,OOO. and an Increase Of
100000 Over Our Own Product Of 1902
Acreage Was Smaller but the Product
Larger.
The combined value of the 1903
production of corn, barley, oats, rye,
hay and potatoes in Washington is
estimated by the Agricultural Depart
ment at $16,709,4S2. This is just
about 81, 2,OOO, 900 more than the valua-
ton of these crops in 1902, and it is
81, ,200, 900 more than the value of the
same crops in the older State of Ore
gon.
The acreage devoted to the crops
mentioned was smaller, in nearly every
case than in 1902, but the farmers can
rejoice that they received much higher
prices for their products. For instance
the estimated average value of the
1901 crop OF hay in Washington is
placed at $l2.77 per ton, as against
$S.93 in the year before; barley at
so cents, as against 46; rye at Y
cents, as against Ga; wheat at 80
cents, as against 65.
The high price of hay was not due
to a short crop. On the contrary,
Washington produced 754,759 tons of
hay last year, as against 739,359 tons
in 1902 and the gross value was esti-
mated at SO, ,63S, ,272 as against $6,6O2,
476. The acresg ge was less last year
than the year before, but the yield
was much greater.
The production OF barley is increas-
ing in nearly every State where bar
ley is raised at all. The Washington
crop last year is officially given as
6,l5S,2 ,257 bushels, or nearly one-third
as large as the production of wheat
the staple crop. The 1902 barley crop
was 6,l2l,27S bushels. Last years
crop was valued at an average OF SO
cents a bushel, making the crop
worth to the farmers $3,079, ,123, as
against $2,SI5, ,7SS in 1902.
The production Of oats was larger
than that of any other cereal except
wheat. The State produced last sea-
son 7,598.185 bushels, as against T.
115,077 in 1902, but lower prices pre-.
vailed during the last harvest, and the
total value is placed at only $2,2S7,-
80, or more than a million dollars
less than that of the 1902 crop.
Washington is not in the proper
zone for the most successful produc-
ton of corn, but the States crop in
1903 was of high quality, brought q
good price and amounted to 229.013
bushels, valued at $l25,957. The rye
crop was 6O,5Ol bushels, valued At
$43,561 This was one of the minor
crops, rye covering only 1881 acres Of
land in the State last year.
Potatoes yielded $685. ,254 to the
Washington farmers, at an average
price OF SO cents per bushel for total
crop of 1896, ,59S bushels. The yield
per acre-an average Of las bushels
is stated to have been larger than any
other State on the Pacific slope, and
among the largest in the union.

THE country is on the downward
grade so far as lower wages and re.
duced prices for commodities are con-
cerned. 1t is now the day after the
spree, and there is the fiddler to pay
and pretty severe headaches for not q
few. We do not look for any panic
or financial disaster, for be it said to
the credit of the money trusts they
have the power and will under no
circumstances permit a panic if it can
be avoided. 1t is not going to be so
hard to hire a man to do days work,
the gambling and speculative fever is
dead, business will get down to hard
pan, and men will be content with
smaller gains-in a word, we are
entering upon healthier condition.
