Curse That Was Fulfilled.

famous 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 Dali
rymple family. The first earl of the
line took part in the massacre, and
Jean Macdonald, the sole survivor or
large family that perished through
the earl's cruelty, delivered a 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 the,
peerage. The family Of the first EARL
became entirely extinct in 1910, and
the succession passed to the descenh-I
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 tho.
two earls of the present family had
sons.

The year 1903 will be knos.a 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 it has been sold since the war.
Beef and leather have been unprece-
dentedly high. Petroleum and its
products advanced in price % 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 I
per cent greater than last year
The rice crop of Texas, new indus
try practically, was remarkably large
and sold for high figures.
Tremendous discoveries of petrole-
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
To per cent of all the fruits sold in the
London markets to-day Is American.
The average increase in the cost of
foodstuffs to the consumer in the
United States was 1G per cent.
In many cases the labor unions, by
force of organization, though ire
quently not until a long and serious
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 groaning with the
products of an abundant harvest. Our
savings banks overflow with tho re-
serves of the people. Our scale OF eN
penditure is the highest the world has
ever known.
The stock market, that unfailing
barometer of the feeling of the gam
bling element of the country. has re-
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
last year.
It is inevitable that 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
The Grit-advocate., 1904-01-08

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, it seemed
certainty For years the agitation in
favor of a canal across the lsthmus 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
rasua 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 it 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 s4OOO0,000, giving until
March 4 for acceptance. Congress hes
itated, many favoring the Nicaragua
route, and when the time was about
to expire President Roosevelt took the
responsibility of accepting the PROPOSE
ton, running the risk OF defeat in the
senate or in Colombia. In the mean
time Secretary Hay and DR.. Herran,
the Colombian charge daffairs, signed
a treaty by which the United States
agreed to pay Colombia bonus OF
s1O,OO0,OO0 ard an annual rental OF
$3.50 900 for such concessions as the
