Amarillo and Cotton.

Referring to Amarillo's boas,
of being or "going 10 be" the
leading cotton market of the
Panhandle, the Hereford Brand
expresses itself in this wise:
The Amarillo Herald is vast,
ing its energy in pleading with
the farmers of the South Plains
county TO bring their cotton
there TO market. The Herald
also predicts that Amarillo is
destined to become the leading
cotton market for the Panhan.

now building. in Syria and Palestine Tour distinct lines of railway, capitalized by Belgians or Germans, all of which, with their numerous ramifcations will ultimately be feeders to the great conti- mental system proposed.
 One of these railway systems is that from Jaffa to Jerusalem. the first line of which was opened to traffic in 1892. It is now proposed to spread this system. in accordance with the original plan, so that 1t will include branch lines to Gaza, Jericho. and the Dead Sea, with a still longer extension up the Jordan Valley to Damascus.
 Meantime, the Turks are building as rapidly as possible, from the Jordan eastward, a line from Haifa to Damas- GUS. making a connection with the Da- mascus-Mecca line. This long railway running in a north and south direc- tion, is an example of the progressive ness of the present-day Mohammedans. for the capital was raised by popular subscription among the Mohammedans in all parts of the world and 1t is be- ing developed under modern direction. It will be a preferred route for pill grims going to and from Mecca and will render a thing of the past those picturesque caravans that have hither- to been the devout Moslem's sole means of getting to the Holy City. Most of this road has already been constructed and the telegraph wires are said to be up along the whole route. With its completion the trans Jordan country, heretofore almost as

 That the land can be commercially re- habllitated, seems, from late consular re- ports. to be beyond question. It already routes of travel, that through the Suez Canal so that It's products can be con- veniently and ~cheaply transported to the east or to the west. Besides, there Is easy transportation from Beirut to Medi- terranean ports and thence outward to every country of the Atlantic coast.
 But most important of all is the pro- ject, now developing, of a thorough rail- way line from one of the Mediterranean cities of Syria or Palestine eastward through Afghanistan and India to the Pacific in lower or upper China. Such line is believed by railway experts to be as logical a necessity as the Southern Pacific route was in the United States. It would be a natural competitor with the Trans-S Siberian Railway, over which 1t would possess, by virtue of the present and prospective character of the lands traversed, innumerable advantages. When such a railway has been built with a terminus at the eastern end of the Mediterranean. there will undoubtedly be such a revival of agriculture and indus try in the Holy Land as not even the most ardent Zionists have dreamed of.
 The nnodernization of the country which is at present going on is of itself worthy of notice. There have been built. or are

 The line between Beirut and Damas- GUS, capitalized by French and Bel- gians, Is reported to be already on a paying basis. Very lately a new feed- name of the Damascus-Hauran branch, extending down the valley of the Or. ontes to Baalbeck, Hons, and Klamath, and thence continuing to the Euphra- tes. This line has made 1t possible for tourists to reach the celebrated ruins of Palmyra after a very short carriage ride from Hons. The Beirut-Damas- GUS route also passes through the ce- dar forests that cover the slopes of Mount Lebanon.
 The introduction of American agri- cultural machinery has already begun and seems destined to revolutionize conditions of living in Palestine Only very recently a rich man of Damas- GUS, Abul Rahman Pacha, who is sup erintendent of the annual piIgrimage to Mecca, ordered from an Indiana firm a modern steam threshing ma chine, the second of its kind ever seen in Judea. Consul Rarndal. at Beirut, states that the triumphal march of this machine through Damascus was one of the most spectacular events which has ever occurred in the White City. On it's way out to the Pacha's estate in the country 1t broke down several bridges, but it was pulled out of the creek beds and finally brought

Boston, ArriI l6.-The connection lately established between this port and the harbor of Alexandria, Egypt, by the steamers of the White Star Line has brought Palestine much closer than ever Lcfore to the United States.

FLUCTUATIoN IN SILVER.
How It is Hoped to Confine 1t Within
Marrow Limits

Secretary Hay has made public the re-
port of the commission on international
exchange regarding it's operations during
the past year. In the main the report
deals with the efforts made by Commits
sioner jerks to establish in China sound
monetary system which would fix the rate
of exchange between the greatest of the
silver-using countries and the gold-stan-
dard countries Prof jerks believes that
the outlook has been greatly improved.
Some attention is giveu in the report to
the recommendation of the commission
which was inS>rsed by most OF the Euro
pean commissions in 1885, that purchases
of silver actually required for coinage pur-
poses should be made with as much regu-
larity as possible. 1t is declared that any
step contributing toward stability in the
price Of silver bullion would in itself tend
to diminish the fluctuations Of exchange
and that it is gratifying to report that the
policy of comparative regularity OF pur-
chases by the government of British India
and other governments has borne fruit.
Attention is called to the fact that since
April last the variation in the price OF
silver at London has been within the linn
it's of about cents per ounce, while IN
1903 the variations were more than L
cents,
