Canned Rice Preparations.

Messrs. w. F. Baldrige and w.
R. Jones, of Houston, have, after
experimenting for several months,
succeeded in producing a new var
iety of canned goods in the COM
position of which rice plays the
leading part. These gentlemen re-
Gently gave a spread in the Office
of General Passenger Agent An
derson of the Southern Pacific to
introduce their specialties and tick
led the palates of a number of guests
with liberal portions of each. Rice
and chile, chicken janbolya, rice
pudding, plain cooked rice. rice
and syrup, rice and milk, rice and
sugar, put up two months ago in
glass jars, were served and pro-
nounced excellent by those present.
In other words, the verdict was
that Messrs. Baldridge and Jones
have beyond question succeeded in
their attempt to prepare rice, both
separately and in combination, in
such way as to force a recogni-
ton of its merits as food and pro-
mote its consumption.
Eighteen varieties of goods, with
rice for a basis, have so far been
perfected by these gentlemen, and
samples of each have been placed
on exhibition at the Office of the
Houston Business league. These
products can be put up in either
glass or tin and will keep in per-
feet condition for years. Pint
packages of all of them can be pro-
duced at a cost that will permit of
their being retailed at a profit at
ten cents each and place wholesome
and highly palatable preparations
within reach of the slimest purse.
This fact alone should insure the
success of the proposition to put up
a factory in Houston to utilize the
Baldridge-J Jones process and engage
extensively in the turning out of
rice foods, to say nothing of the
quality and superiority of such
foods.-Soutilern Industrial and
Lumber Review.

Truck growing IS a very tas-
cinating business, especially when
the returns begin TO come IN,
and when viewed from the stand
point of the inexperienced, some
times the idea IS allowed to find
Judgment that it is an easy job.
From those who have had many
years experience IN this branch of
agriculture, the unanimous verdict
seems to be that he who is not will
ing to work and rather hard, too,
sometimes, had best stay out of the
truck business, as the awakening
is quite likely to cause discourage
ment. There is no excellence
without great labor, IS a maxim
of old, and it finds nc truer field
than on the truck farm. So, if you
expect to make a success Of truck
farming and are not wiling to arise
when the first chanticleer halls the
approach of the new day, and re-
main at work until the warm sun
causes the Precipitation to trickle in
tinv strea1nlets from your classic
brow, emitting you to be classed
with those whom the Holy Writ
assures, from the sweat of thy
brow shalt thou eat bread, then
stay off the truck farm and hunt a
shady place-or go into politics.
But the man who works will re-
ceive ample reward for his labors,
and the Brownsville country offers
to this class opportunities and adj
vantages to be found nowhere else.
The land and water are here, and
all you have to do is to bring your
energy and put It to the proper use

TARIFF REDUCTION.

when a rock-ribbed Republican
and dyed-in-the-wool protectionlst
like Robert B. Porter, who arrived
in this country last Saturday on the
St. Paul, comes out fat-footed for
a revision of the tariff, because the
present schedules are obsolete, It
IS high time for the protection par
rots TO, take a reef in their silly
stand pat patter, Mr.. Porter was
one OF the founders of the New
York Press, and will be popularity
remembered as the superintendent
of the census of 1890. He has
studied industrial and trade con-
ditions in this country and abroad
extensively, and is a firm Believer
IN a protective tariff for the United
States. But he is rot fossil. He
does not regard any special set oI
schedules, as heavenly inspired
wisdom. He makes no fetish OF a
name. He is scientific enough to
know that when a given duty IS
ample to protect home labor and
give capital a slight lead in the
race over foreign competition it has
done all that can be decently ex-
pected of it, and that to do more IS
to iniure the consumer, including
the laborer, for the benefit solely OF
the few and with the ultimate re-
suit of helping to create a monop-
oily" That is pretty plain talk for
a Republican organ to. indulge in,
even after the election is over and
won. Isn't it?-Galveston News.

As a result of the close down on
gamblers at FL Paso, the revenues
have been reduced to such extent
that employees Of the police and FIRE
departments have been forced to
take scrip in payment of salaries
for the first time IN years. AS scrip
in that city is discounted at 4 per
cent it would reasonable to expect
that the ardor of the officers
in strenously enforcing the laws
against gambling and other vices,
may be somewhat dampened.

Buy anything you can on

lightning rods and everything else
that is for sale ON time. These

From the Rnral Northeast.

Oregon potatoes are quoted at II
cents to 81 per GENITAL on the San Fran
cisco market.
DR.. Pickel of Medford, Or, recently
told the Mail of that place that he will
plant this winter 1000 apple trees, in
cluding 1000 Yellow Newtown, 1000
Spitzenberg and 500 Jonathan, also
1000 Winter Nellis pear trees, 1900
Beurre Bose pear trees and 500 Bartlett
pear trees.
There are more good apples on the
Portland market this year than usual.
Four-tier apples Of good varieties, free
from worms can be bought at retail at
from 81 to $1.25 per box, and fancy
apples at 81 so per box. The quality Of
the apples is unusually good, but most
of those now on the Portland market
show that they will not keep as long as
they generally do.
The Portland newspapers recently
recorded the departure for China of a
Chinaman named Sam Bing. The
interesting thing about this man is that
he is the person for whom the Bing
cherry was named. For many years he
was faithful and skillful employe Of
the nurseryman, Seth Lewelling, who
originated the Bing cherry. Mr.. Lew
elling, in appreciation OF his employe
gave the cherry its name. Sam Bing
has been in this country 33 years and
goes back to China to live ON his accum
ulated capital.

Stories of the West.

Different conversations with W. F.
Laraway, who spent the summer in the
West, bring forth different incidents of
his trip. He was telling the other day
OF former Mills county man whom he
found prospering out there q. d..
Boardman, who when here was employed
by Strahan g. Bishop on farm east of
Malvern. He had a thirty-fve acre
farm near Hood River, Or, which he
has just sold for $4,000 or $343 per
acre. On the farm were ten acres of
clover and an orchard containing 10000
apple trees in their fourth year. The
house on the place was worth about
$1,000. Mr.. Boardman's wife is not in
good health and that is the reason he
has concluded to leave the farm.
Mr.. Laraway's stories of the apples in
that country are surprising even to
people in Mills county who have the
best there is. In that section the apples
keep all winter without being put in
cold storage, which possibility is due to
the climate. Mr.. Laraway has some
pictures of fruit display that was made
there early in the fall, and which fru
was later sent to the st. Louis fair to
make a creditable showing for the
country from which they came. Mr..
Laraway's pictures accompany the
exhibit.-Glenwood (lowa) Opinion.

FORMING MANY new
RURAL MAIL ROUTES

j. L. Bristow, fourth-assistant post
master general, in his animal report
recently made public, says OF the free
rural delivery service;
Extension of the rural free delivery
service has resulted in an increase OF
1925 in the number of postotfices discon-
tinued during the fiscal year ending
July 80, 1904, During the year there
were 2549 postoffices established and
55S7 discontinued. There was de-
crease of l5S in the number of offices
established The principal cause of
the increase in discontinuances has
been the extension of the rural free
delivery service. The total number OF
discontinuances was $3.50 postofiices,
with saving in salaries OF postmasters
aggregating Sl7l, ,l2l. At the close of
the fiscal year there were 7l,131 post
offices in the United States-265 first
class, 1904 second-class, 1896 thirdclass,
and 65, ,766 fourth.class.
"Operation of rural mail delivery and
the extension by private interests OF
rural telephone service have created a
demand from patrons of rural routes
for the delivery of small packages Of
merchandise on an order to local mer-
chants by postal card, telephone or
otherwise. The value of such packages
is small, and the present rate of one
cent per ounce, the report says, is
practically prohibitive. Mr., Bristow
recommends that congress fix a rate
of three cents pound or any fractional
part thereof on packages not exceeding
| five pounds mailed at the distributing
postoftice of any rural free delivery
route. If this special rate were estab-
| lished, Mr.. Bristow says, it would be a
great convenience to patrons and become
source of revenue to the department.
ut is estimated that 100000 will be
needed by the department to continue
the establishment of rural routes as fast
as they are favorably reported for the
remainder of the current fiscal year
An appropriation of S9,00O,000 for the
establishment of new routes will be
asked by the department for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1866.
"An increase in the deficiency of 92.3
per cent over the previous year is
shown by the financial statement for
the postal service, incorporated in the
| vi W bliliN
assistant postmaster general, for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1904. The
report shows, however, that the increase
in expenditures is on account of the
rural free delivery service. Were it not
for this extraordinary expenditure the
postal service now would be about self
sustaining. The total receipts from all
sources for the fiscal year were $l43,-
$50, ,524, and the total expenditures
1852, 1862, ,l16, leaving deficit Of $S,779,-
492. The deficiency for the previous
year was $4,360,4 ,444 Mr.. Madden says {:
1T is believed that as soon as the
rural free delivery service is fully estab-
lished the increase in the expenditures
on account of that service each year
will not be more than the normal in
crease for other items of the services,
and that within a short time after such
normal conditions obtain the postal
service will again be self-sustaining, a
condition which has not existed since
