THE YEAR IN REVIEW.
Momentous Events That Have Signal

Momentous Events That Have Signal
ICED the Past Twelve Months.
The all-absorbipg topic of January,
1903, was the Venezuelan imbrogliO.
The active events of that affair be-
long, of course, to 1902, though as late
as Jan. % the German ships bonn
barded the fort of San Carlos, but on
Jan. 8 President Castro rested Ven
ezuela's side of the case entirely in
the hands of Minister Bowen, who set
sail for home Jan. II. After that the
whole matter was thrashed out in
Washington, and the interest in the
affair remained keen to the very close,
because many thought they saw in the
warlike action Of the allies, especially
Germany, a determination to attack
no. Venezuela so much as Uncle Sam s
famous Monroe doctrine. The attempt,
if it were really so intended, complete
ly failed. for, though pitted against
some Of the most astute diplomats OF
Europe, Minister Bowen persistently
upheld the real rights of the weaker
country and negotiated terms of set

into question or dispute.
The Great Coal Strike.
The anthracite coal strike belongs
even more to the history of 1902 than
does the Venezuelan affair and the de
alterations of the arbitration commits
sion attracted even less general in
terest than their Importance justified.
The commission entered into the mat
ter most thoroughly and systematical-
ly. The last witness was not called
until Feb. 5 and the arguments of the
opposing counsel consumed the fol.
lowing week. President George +.
Baer represented the operators and
Clarence barrow the miners.
After a months deliberations the
commission reported.

The Panama Canal.
The Panama canal was the burning
question, and at the beginning, as al
tho close Of this year, 1t seemed g
certainty. For years the agitation in
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1904-01-07

went into effect and General Young
became chief of staff.
The event of Aug. IL was more sig
nificant, for on that day misguided
Colombians brewed trouble for them
selves. On that day the Colombian
senate rejected the Hay-Herran Pana-
ma canal treaty, and this unexpected
action seemed for the time to put the
canal farther away than ever.
Even the chagrin that accompanied
the turn Of affairs gave place to expec-
fancy when Sir Thomas Upton ar
rived with his third challenger for
Americas cup-Shamrock III.
The boat had been launched in
March and even before the defender
had taken definite shape news Of it's
wonderful sailing capacity was flashed
across the Atlantic. Not a few an
ticipated that upon this expedition the
gallant Irishman would be successful
N carrying back the trophy. He was,
however, doomed to crushing defeat.

NOTABLE EVENTS OF THE YEAR 1905.

TIE year 1903 will be known as the
record year Of prosperity in the Unit
ed States.
Some few crops have not yielded so
largely as they did in former years,
but the prices received were so much
higher that the shortage was more
than made up for.
Cotton reached the highest figure at
which 1t has been sold since the war.
Beef and leather have been unprece-
dentedly high. Petroleum and its
products advanced In price 25 per
cent.
Iron and steel were sold at high
prices and the demand was so great
that orders could not be filed within
a reasonable time, and seaport cities
made large purchases abroad because
deliveries were so much delayed.
The production of precious metals
will probably turn out to be nearly z
per cent greater than last year.
The rice crop Of Texas, a new indus
try practically, was remarkably large
and sold for high figures.
Tremendous discoveries Of petrole-
am on the Pacific coast enabled that
part of the country to substitute six
million dollars worth of oil for coal,
which was previously imported either
from Great Britain or Australia.
The total destruction of the fruit
crop In Great Britain and in southern
europe made an unexpected market
or American green fruits. More than
10 per cent of all the fruits sold in the
london markets to-day Is American.
The average increase In the cost of
'oodstuffs to the consumer in the
United States was 16 per cent.
In nearly all Of the large cities
throughout the country the population
mas increased, and the price of real
estate has done more than keep pace
with the general march of prosperity.
Under the circumstances, the coun-
try has every right to look forward to
a continuance of prosperity.
Our granaries are grooming with the
products of an abundant harvest. Our
savings banks overflow with the re-
serves Of the people. Our scale of ex-
penditure is the highest the, world has
ever known.
The area OF land which will be
plowed and seeded this winter and
next spring will exceed the area titled
last year.
1t is inevitable that a prosperous
harvest brings a greater seed sowing.
The greatly inpraa God demand for rot.
tie and horses means more stock.
Breeding pastures will be fuller next
year than they were ever before.
