SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.
United States Taking Argentine Trade
Away From Europe.

In the last two months there has
been a steady increase in the orders
for railroad equipment received here
from the Argentine republic. There is
"a demand for locomotives. rails and
other equipment, and orders have beer
closed in the last week for the largest
number of freight cars ever bought
at one time by any foreign country
This order was for $40 freight cars.
Another order calls for SS passenger
coaches and baggage cars.
The Argentine republic is rapidly de-
veloping. and the manufacturers of the
United States are increasing their trade
with that country. Europe has en-
joyed an advantage over the manufac-
turers of this country in Argentine. but
much of the trade which formerly went
to European countries is now being
diverted to the United States.

Artificial Propagation in China.

The Chinese have a method of hatch
ing the spawn of fish, and thus pro-
tecting it from THOSE accidents which
generally destroy large portion of it.
The fishermen collect from the margin
and surface of water all those gelatin
Gus masses which contain the spawn
of fish, and after they have found a
sufficient quantity they fill with it the
shell Of fresh hens egg, which they
have previously emptied, stop up the
hole and put 1t under a sitting fowl.
At the expiration Of a certain number
of days they break the shell in water
warmed by the sun. The young fry are
presently hatched, and are kept in pure
fresh water till they are lapge enough
to be thrown into the pond with the
old fish. The sale of spawn for the
purpose forms an important branch of
trade in China.

: OREGON NEEDS RAIN.
Singular Condition fer Webfoot State,
But True,

The weekly summary of the croy
bulletin issued by the department OF
lagriculture for last week says;
The past week has been dry, with
warm days and seasonal nights, Al
though rain would be Injurious to hops
lit is badly needed for late potatoes
gardens and pastures, The grain har-
vest is nearly completed. and in a few
localities a little fall seeding has been
done on summer fallowed land, but
most Of the farmers are waiting for
rain before beginning this work. Pas
.turage in the valleys. except in the
coast counties is very short, and COM
plants are now made that feel on the
ranges in the mountains is getting
scarce.
The tops of late potatoes are be-
ginning to dry up and the tuhers are
small and few in the hill. The yield
of field onions in Washington county
was considerably less than last year
and below the average of former years.
Sugar beets in Union county are ripe
and the crop is reported to be better
than the average. Hop picking becomes
general this week. The burs are rather
small. but the vines are free of lice
and the crop is of good quality. al
though slightly below the average in
weight.
Summer apples have dropped heav-
lily, but late apples continue doing well
and promise abundant yields. Prunes
are ripening and picking viii become
general about the middle of the month.
Peaches and blackberries are plentiful
in the markets.

SEE A MUMMYs FACE.
Features of Egyptian Girl Who Died
270o Years Ago Exposed at Fair.

st. Louis, Sept. 1.-THE two genuine
Egyptian mummies in the anthropo-
logg building at the. worlds fair are
among the most popular exhibits in
the building, judging by the number
of persons who constantly throng the
lower room of the Egyptian section
where the mummies are kept
The older of the two is that of the
daughter of an Egyptian nobleman and
dates from the Late New Empire, about
800 B. C. The mummy is preserved
in it's original casket which is covered
with inscriptions The linen in which
the body was wrapped at the time of
its embalming has been removed from
the fact of the mummy, and visitors
may study the actual features of a fell
low human who died more than 200
years ago.
The other mummy, which is COM
pletely covered with layers of linen
wrapping, yellow with age, is that of
a nobleman of the Greek period, about
200 b. C. Both mummies, with the
original coffins, aer enclosed in glass
cases. The mummies are under
charge of Arthur B. Coover, represent
ative of the Egyptian government.

Mrs. Metcalf No. l knew Miss Rounds
and wife No. soon learned her hus-
band had not been legally divorced.
Her relatives caused his arrest. Mrs.

Some BLESSINGS of Farm Life,

FROM q recent work entitled line Fat
Of the Land" from the pen of j. W.
Streeter, we take the following extract:
If farming be the art OF elimination, I
want it not. If the farmer and the farm
er's family must, by the nature OF the &C.
Cupation, be deprived Of reasonable luxury
and leisure, if the convenience and ameni-
ties must be shorn close, if comfort must
be denied and life be reduced TO the ele-
mental necessities Of food and shelter, /
want it not. But l do not believe that
| this is the case. The wealth OF the world
comes from the LAND, which produces all
the direct and Immediate essentials for
the preservation OF life and the protection
Of the race. When people cease to look
to the land for support. they lose their
independence and fail under the tyranny
of circumstances beyond their control.
| They are no longer producers, but CON
sumers; and their prosperity is contin-
| gent upon the prosperity and good will
Of other people who are more or less alien.
Only when a considerable percentage of a
| nation is living close to the land can the
| highest type Of Independence and pros
perity be enjoyed. This law applies to
| the mass and also to the individual. The
farmer, who produces all the necessities
and many of the luXurles, and whose
products are In constant demand and new
cr out of vogue. should be independent

| tunes. If this is NOT the condition Of the
| average farmer (and | an sorry to say it
is nOD, the fault IS to be found, not in
| the land, but in the man who tills il.
".%inety-liE1 per cent. Of those who en-
! cage III commercial and professional oC-
equations fail Of large success; more than
~ per cent. fail utterly, and are doomed to
miserable, dependent lives in the service
OF the more fortunate. That farmers do
| not fail nearly so often is due to the boun-
| ty of the land, the benelicenCe of nature,
and the ever recurring seed time and har-
vest, which even the most thOughtless
cannot interrupt"
With the introduction Of coEveniences
| for home and farm, with the Improvement
Of our means of communication, and espe-
c!ally with the wave OF enlightenment that
has passed over the farms of America
during the last quarter century, the life Of
the producer has become not one OF grind
Ing toll, but of pleasure giving effort.
! Those who contemplate turning their back
on the farm should consider well the state
| mcnt made shove, namely, that '95 per
| cent. of those who engage in commercial
and professional occupations fail Of large
| success" before taking the final step.
| While the producer has lots to contend
| with in the way of uIfayorablc climatic
conditions, etc, yet ne IS seldom har-
raised to anything like the same extent
as the man whose business success de.

Much has been written regarding the
need Of renewing the forests OF this coun-
try and the suggestion made that farmers
might help along his good work by set
ipE several acres in some good forest
tree. While 1t is generally best to set
| ,rccs OF some class native 10 the soil the
-atalpa is becoming popular for general
planting because Of It's hardness and
.ather quick growth. Mistakes have been
made, however, in setting the wrong va
.iety. for it has been demonstrated that
~-atalpa speciosa Is easily p~ropagated, Is
3ardy, grows straight and the wood is
much more valuable than Catalpa big
lonoides Of which so many trees have
,een set and proved Disappointing. Cat
,Ipas NAV be readily grown from seed and
ransplarted when about two years old,
ybeu they should be set in rows eight
eet apart and not less than four feet
