From page l.

In conclusion, would state that, from data furnished me by the So- nora Railway, the amount of trans portated over that line, via Nogales to New Orleans, during the year was as follows:
 Havana, sse sacks of 100 Kilograms each San Juan, P. R, ll99 Bilboa, Spain ss07 Santander, Spain S6l4 !" New York City lS7s4 l"
 I have not at hand data cover ing the exact amount forwarded by water, but l firmly believe that not less than 10000 sacks of 100 kilo- grams each were exported, so that the state of Sonora exported dur ing last year, about 45,000 sacks of garvanzos, which, at a price of $9.00 per sack. on the average, makes total of $405,000
 As stated at the beginning oi our article, agriculture in Sonora is still in its infancy, however, if this state alone produces but one article for expor:ation at such sum as $405,000, we may hope for great future when the development be- comes subject to modern methods. Our idea in publishing this article is for the purpose of pre- senting to the business men and people interested a manner of in vestment that is certain of profit able returns. The State of Sonora is awaiting with open arms the right kind of capitalists and set tiers, and they will be accorded hearty welcome.

During McKinley's administration

by the war with Spain. the surplus in
the national treasury grew to such pro.
portions, it will be recalled, that the
government. to increase the volume OF
circulation, made deposits with national
banks exceeding 1900, 100000.

MORE OR LESS ExCUsABLE.

The 5000 textile workers OF Fall
River who are to be shut out OF the
mills until they consent to q reduction
Of a flat eighth Of their former low
wages have voted unanimously to stay
ehut out rather than accept a decrease
OF earnings the average OF which would
be lees than six dollars a week. One
high protection organ in its review OF
the Fall River situation says that "the
union seems to recognize little but a
blind passion for strife when things
don't go to suit them" That il Que
view to take Of the matter, and it may
DO the correct one yet it does seem a
bit human for men who have wives and
children to shelter. feed and clothe to
get angry even blindly 30, when it is
demanded Of them that they shall work
for an average wage too low to support
not only the american standard OF
living. but to supply the actual ne.
~cessaries OF life.
Ii is true that there las now and
again appeared u lady or a gentleman
OF more or less distinction who has
presented %irrefutable testimony to the
fact that she or he has lived quite
sumptuously on ten or even five cents
a day. Far be it from us to doubt the
veracity of such authorities, or 80 much
ns to suggest that they might be the
living skeletons Of some froak show
but, all things considered. including
rent, food, light, fuel and clothing, it
does seem rather hard to realize in
these days OF soaring prices a state OF
comfortable living on the wage OF n dol
lnr a day. Tie prodigal sou, it will be
remembered, lived ON the husks OF the
corn that the swiue rejected, but it
will also be recalled that he did not
like that kind Of diet and hied him TO
where the fatted calf awaited him. A
fair presumption ia that a man can
no more support himself and family
properly on six dollars q week and
enjoy it than the prodigal son could
meuu composed exclusively OF corn
husks.
The Fall River nill owners contend
that the proposed reduction was nee
essary because NJ the high price OF COT

they closed their plants they still con-
tinued to declare generous dividends,

That Spencer Trask, head OF the great
Now York banking house Of Spencer
Trask & Co., has decided to support
Alton B. Parker for president, is II OF
the many announcements indicating a.
strong drift among business men toward
tho democratic candidate. MIR. Trask's
reasons for deciding upon the course in
dicated are not less interesting than the
fact itself. In explanation OF his atti.
tudc, he says:
sWhile President Roosevelt has been
much more subdued and very quiet for
the last two months, there is no telling
when he will break Il again, particu-
larly n he should be elected for a full
term OF four years. In my opinion this
II not the time 10 take chances. The
personalities Of the two candidates are
before us, and We must Judge them by
the past. | do not think the re can be
any question that Judge Parke r is a
much safer mar than President Roose-
welt. Judge Parker has at all times
shown a disposition to be calm and
deliberative, u observe the law and
the constitution. instead Of his own
personal desires. President Roosevelt's
course, on the other hand, has always
shown a tendency toward recklessness
and a disregard OF law
Mr.. Trask was a Blaine republican
in 1884. being 4 great personal admirer
ne well Us political supporter OF the
"plumed knight" In 1883 and 1892, he
supported Cleveland, and in 1896 and
1900, Mckinley. He is an Independent,
republican, but in common with hun.
dreds OF other business men he realizes
and remembers that Roosevelt under
restraint, during the campaign, and
Roosevelt, elected TO the presidency
are two very different men.
In other words, Mr.. Trask feels just
like that Indiana man, with a little
money invested, who said, the other
day: IL wish | could be sure, when l

do in the morninR."

INTERESTING CHILDREN.
Youngsters of Oriental Ministers st Washington Never Heard of Christ

There are in the foreign colony In Washington quite number of children who never heard of Christmas until they came to the land of the free, says the Wash hgton Times. Among them are the two sons and the daughter of the Chinese minister, the young sters of the Korean legation, and Osman Sureya ana Ali Haidas, the black-eyed little sons of Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister. When Wu Ting-Fang was Chinese minis. ter he adopted the American Christmas to the extent that his young son was allowed to go to the white house each Christmas morning with bouquet almost as large as himself designed as n token for the first lady of the land. In the Chinese colony are several children who have beeu enjoying an American Christmas for some years past. These for, tunate youngsters are the chiL dren of Yung Kwai, the secretary. interpreter, whose wife is a New England woman.

New Calculation.

Prof. See has watched the duration of the blue sky after dark. and found 1t to continue for about an hour and 15 min utes, and from this he shows that our atmosphere extends to height of fully l30 miles. Astronomers have usually found the height of the atmosphere by computing the height of the meteors, but none have made the height of the atmos. phere over 100 miles. The study of the blue color of the sky thus proves also that our atmosphere extends consider ably higher than scientists have hereto fore supposed. On our dark days the blue color of the sky is shut out by clouds, and combinations of colors due to reiecting clouds and countless myriads of particles in the ethereal re- gions high above the earth give the bright light which Is so much relished Tn daily life
