eminent has ssueG an order prohibiting
the transit either OF arms or of an4mu-
milton for Peru through the Brazilian
part of the river. This action was taken
because Peru disputes the Brazilian
boundary claims in the Acre district,
and has been suspected Of preparing to
fight for its territory. The Peruvian
government has Of course objected to
closing the river to any form Of its
commerce.
The Amazon Is not the only inter-
national river which has been made
free to commerce by the people through
whose countries 1t passes. The Rhine
has been free since 1869. The Douro
Is free to the ships Of both Spain and
Portugal. The Danube was made free
by the treaty at the close Of the Crfmean
war. and the Parana and the Uruguay
have been free for a generation.
One Of the reasons for the purchase
of Louisiana was President Jeherson's
desire to keep the Mississippi free. and
to prevent such a complication as that
in which Brazil and Peru are now in
yolved. And through the insistence OF
the United States government Great
Britain once made the St Lawrence as
free to United States lake shipping as
to British. But war invalidates all
treaties and has rules OF its own.
Justification for closing the Amazon
can be found only in the claim that the
shipment Of arms up the river is a war

EVOLUTION OF A "BoOM"

The era of delirious speculation in the
Texas oil fields has been succeeded by
the solid upbuilding of great industry
although the passing of the "boom''
has spread the impression that the
"bottom had dropped out of Beaumont. -
Yet the wells Of Texas and Louisiana
are producing $4,000 barrels daily, an
annual output of nearly 10000, 900 bar
rels or tive-twelfths of the worlds total
production three years ago. Thou
sands of small companies and independ-
ent operators have been wiped out in
the inevitable concentration of control
in the hands of capital powerfully or
gained and ably directed, until two
thirds of Beaumont output is controlled
by the j. M. Gutfey Petroleum Com
pany, producing 10000 barrels daily,
while the visible remainder is divided
among three other concerns
The recent discoveries of ''gushers"
along the coast country of Texas, and
in Louisiana, have been followed by a
conservative development of industry,
with little of the maglignant specula-
tive fever which devasted Beaumont in
its beginnings. Many refineries are in
operation, turning out numerous by
products; railroads and other extensive
fuel consumers are burning the oil,
miles of pipe lines radiate from the
several fields, and there is steel tankage
in Texas capable Of holding 10000, 900
barrels of oil, while earthen tanks can
take care of 100000 more.-Collier's
Weekly.

THE ABANDONED FARMS.
How They Are Filling Up With Summer
Residents.

How They Are Filling Up With summe,
Residents.
Governor n. J. Bachelor of New
| Hampshire writes to the leading New
England papers review of conditions
in his State, especially the matter of
abandoned farms. He takes cheerful
and inspiring view of the situation and
his remarks apply with equal force to
the other New England States. 1t is as
follows: IAN encouraging feature of
New Hampshire life at the opening of
the new year is the extent to which the
States abandoned farms have been
adopted by prosperous and well-pleased
foster parents.
The natural beauty of these pictur-
esque places, somewhat wild and neg
lected IN many instances, has been
slble for their welfare, who have wash
ed the faces and brushed the hair of
these deserted children of the Grant e
State, and have spent millions of dol
lars III dressing them anew in wood and
brick and stone.
1t is Is years since the people of New
Hampshire awoke to the necessity for
taking active measures looking to the
repeopllng of those deserted areas Of
farm lands which had become so many
in number and so wide in extent as to
afford an alarming symptom in any
consideration of the health of the com
mOnWealtn.
At that time the causes of the NAL
ady were diagnosed thus: In some
cases the children had left the old
homestead for other fields of labor.
while the parents were in physical con-
dltlOn to manage the farm, and upon
the death of the parents, in later years,
the children had become engrossed in
business upon other farms or in other
occupations and could not return. So
the homestead farm was abandoned"
and went upon the market
! Many farmers, either with children
engaged in some other avocations or
without children, having secured COM
potency by industry and frugal habits,
| had retired from the farm to the neigh
| boring city or village, to spend their de-
Ginning years at ease. Sometimes the
| owners of farms, seeing only the bright
side in other occupations and the dark
side IN theirs, mortgaged the farms to
raise money for engaging in some other
business, in which they failed. In
either OF these cases the farm was for
SALE
By 1889 there were so many of these
farms that the Legislature took alarm
and in that year authorized the ap-
pointment by the governor and council
of commissioner of immigration,
whose duty it should be to bring about
within the measure of his ability the
repeopling Of the rural districts of New
Hampshire.
Gov. David H. Goodell and his coun-
cilors filled the place thus created by
the appointment thereto of the seere-
tary of the State board of agriculture;
and a few years later the two offices
were formally consolidated.
The first statistics collected by the
commissioner showed 1343 abandoned
farms within the State. The continued
operation of the causes named above
has been constantly adding to this
number, but on smaller scale than
was the case of Is years ago. The pro-
portion of unoccupied farm lands with
in the State grows less with each year
that passes.
The Republican journal., 1904-02-04

| The reasons for the adoption of
| these abandoned farms have been vari
Gus. Many were attracted by then
cheapness to purchase them as invest
| ments aud in most of these instances
| dividends have been paid, particularly
| IN cases where the purchaser himself
settled upon the farm, made careful
choice of the crops he would raise and
applied himself scientifically to theil
economical production and wise mar
keting.
The commissioner has the names OF
POO owners of summer homes in oul
State, most of the said homes having
been created from what were once
abandoned farms.
These summer citizens include repre-.
sentatives of the States of Maine. n ew
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
the District of Columbia, Virginia,
South Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, Louisi-
ana, Colorado and California. as we'll as
foreign countries.
1t is estimated that these $500 adopt
ed sons of the State, by themselves,
their families, their guests and their
employees, add to the population of New
Hampshire every summer at least, 90
600 people. Their holdings of real es-
tate represent permanent investment
of S5,O00,00O, and their annual expendi-
lures within the State for all purposes
are at least half as much.
Their holiday homes range in charac-
ter from the typical farm buildings of
Senator Spooner of Wisconsin in Pitts
burg on the Canada line to the magnifi-
cent colonial mansion of Sec. of the In
terror Hitchcock at Dublin in the south.
Some, like Rev. Louis A. Banks of
New York, in Grafton county, and the
late Austin Corbin in Sullivan county,
buy thousands of acres of land for their
summer estates. Others gather in fash
ionable colonies" like the one at Cor
nish.
One of the reasons why they remain
SO loyal in their allegiance is stated by
Anne Whitney, the sculptor, as follows

ministrations to me and mine in the

John Hay says: 81 was greatly pleased

one is not only willing but glad to live;
its ways are ways of pleasantness, and

FRIDAY SUPERSTITIONS.

The advent of the year 1904 occurring
on Friday, will undoubtedly awake the
old superstition of Friday being an I'M
lucky and inauspicious day upon which
to begin any new enterprise, be it birth,
marriage, business pleasure. 1t would
appear from the record in this country
at least, that such belief has no founda-
ton in fact, yet this belief of Friday
being a day of i'll omen, is as old as his
tory itself.
Columbus sailed to find the new world
ON Friday. He first discovered land on
a Friday, and arrived home on Friday
November %, 1893, he arrived at Hlspa-
nola, on his second voyage to America.
On Friday, June -, 1494, he, although
unknown to himself, discovered this
continent. On Friday, March 1896,
Henry VII of England gave to John
Cabot his commission which led to the
discovery of North America. This is
said to be the first American state pa
per in England. On Friday, Sept. I,
1868, Melendez founded st. Augustine,
the oldest town in the United States by
more than 40 years. On Friday, Nov. 10,
1920, the MayfloWer, with the Pilgrims,
made the harbor of Provincetown and
on that day the compact that was the
forerunner of our present constitution
was made. Friday, Dec. %, 1920, the
Pilgrims made their final landing at
Plymouth. Friday, February %, 1892,
George Washington was born. Friday,
June IS, Bunker Hill was seized and
fortified. The surrender at Saratoga
was made on Friday, as also the sur
render at Yorktown. Many other epoch
making events in our history have taken
place on Friday. On good Friday the
crucifixion of Christ is recalled. This,
the appointed final act in the plan for
the redemption of the world from sin
and its consequences, should give to
Friday a different character from that
which has attached to it.
