The 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 ii 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 filled 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-
um 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
for American green fruits. More than
10 per cent of all the fruits sold in the
London markets to-day is American.

strike had been engaged in. were able
to increase the pay of their members
thus greatly enhancing the purchas-
ing power of the plain people. which
is the basis of all prosperity In the
United States.
In nearly all of the large cities
throughout the country the population
has 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
continuance of prosperity.
Our granaries are groanlng 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.

Gently taken short, sharp rise,
The area of land which will be
plowed and seeded this winter and
next spring will exceed the area titled

1t is inevitable that a prosperous
harvest brings greater seed sowing.
The greatly increased demand for cat
tie and horses means more stock.
Breeding pastures will be fuller next
year than they were ever before.

so it remained imperative until the
extra session in November.
The Panama Canal.
The Panama canal was the burning
question. and at the beginning, as at
the close of this year, 1t seemed
certainty For years the agitation in
favor of canal across the Isthmus of
Panama had been agitated, and recent
ly with increased interest. Thousands
of dollars hau been spent surveying
the possible routes, and it at last
seemed assured that the United
States. in conjunction with Great
Britain. would undertake the Mica
ragua route.
Since the collapse of the De Les
sep's Panama scheme new French
company had possession of and had
done some work on the Panama canal
but until 1t became evident that this
country was in earnest about Nicara-
qua the French company refused -
sell out at a reasonable price. Then,
when competition seemed likely, they
surprised American lawmakers by Of
fering their holdings at less than half
their former figures. They offered to
sell their concessions and everything
in sight for s4o.O00.OO0. giving until
March for acceptance. Congress- hes
itated, many favoring the Nicaragua
route. and when the time was about

responsibility of accepting the PROPOSE

senate or IN Colombia. In the mean
time Secretary Hay and DR.. Herran,

sianaIina Under Water.

There has recently been put in op-
Grafton at Boston a system of signal
ing beneath the waves to vessels ap-
preaching dangerous shores during
foggy weather. The apparatus con-
sists of two receivers. located on
either side of the ship below the water
line. and connected by wires to the
wheel house, where a telephone box
Is placed. The signals from shore are
given by striking a submerged ball at
regular intervals. When the observer
wishes to ascertain his location he
takes the ear piece. and by moving
the switch either to the right or left.
soon ascertains upon which side the
sound Is the loudest, and upon that
side the bell will be found. The value
of system OF this nature is at once
apparent when It is borne in mind
that fogs frequently obscure the most
powerful lights, and that certain at
mospheric conditions during stormy
weather render fog horns almost. IL
not quite, valueless.

Other important If not interesting
Legislation was effected. but the ON
nibus" statehood bill was lost. Little
fields bill to regulate corporations
never got to a vote in the senate. no
tariff concessions were granted to i'm

An act that met with universal ap-
proval was the creation of new de-

member to the presidents cabinet

merce. AS soon as created. in Feb
ruary. the presidents private secre-
tary. George b. Cortelyou. was appoint
ed its secretary. At the same time,
and as n part OF the new department.
a bureau of corporation was estab-
lished. and James X. Garfield. son of
the late president, became its chief.
When congress adjourned. or rather
expired. March 3. two questions were
unsettled-Cuban reciprocity and the
Panama canal. but as the treaties con-
cerning them required only the action
of the senate. President Roosevelt
summoned the new senate into exist
ence Immediately To consider the two
measures. The reciprocity treaty was
ratified, but the nature of its pro-
visions required action by the house.

curse 1hat WA. FuInIIed.

lannon's Gaelic curse put upon the
family of Dalrymple at the time of
the massacre OF Glencoe. in the 18th
century. is recalled by the death OF
the Earl of Stair. head OF the Dal-
rymple family The first earl OF the
line took part in the massacre. and
Jean Macdonald, the sole survivor of
large family that perlshed through
the earl's cruelty, delivered bitter
curse upon him, wishing that no sue
ceeding earl should have children. A
startling comment on this malediction
is that the second. third. fourth. sixth.
seventh and eighth earls Of Stair all
died without issue-a circumstance
probably unique in the annals OF tho
peerage. The family Of the first earl
became entirely extinct In 1910. and
the succession passed to the descend
ants of his next brother. Sir James
Dalrymple, from whom came the peer
Just deceased. Evidently the curse
did not pass with the title. for the
two earls OF the present family had
sons.

Some Passing Sensations
Besides the affairs OF general i'm
portance already noted, several events
of opening months OF the year should
be mentioned On Jan. 10 ]. T. Till
man shot and killed Editor n. g.
Gonzalez. Gonzalez had attacked Till
man rabidly in his paper and had de-
feated his nomination for governor.
The affair was widely and vehemently
discussed, but in October Tillmnn was
acquitted. partly because the fatal at
tack was not entirely unjustified, and
partly because there was evidence TO
show that Tillman thought Gonzalez
was armed and about to attack him.
Disastrous Floods.
Little can be said here of the disas-
trous floods of the year. In March the
lower Mississippi rose higher than
ever before. and on the goth of that
month passed all records. Cities along
the river. especially Memphis. suffered
heavily. leyees gave way and miles of
lowlands were inundated. causing un-
told damage and great suffering. es-
