SHEEP BRING GOOD PROFIT
Farmers of the United States Hay, Lucrative Field Opened
 to Them.

An ofici I report of the department oi commerce and labor declares that fol years to come there will be more money in sheep than in any other agricultural product and that the American farmer above all others, is in position te profit by this condition.
 The reason why sheep raising is to be so profitable is to be found in the fact that the fiooks of the world are declining at an alarming rate. In little more than 30 years. or since 1873. this decline shows loss of no fewer, than,S2, ,0OaOOt head. an average of more than 3,OO0, ,0Ot year. At the present time the Ameri. can farmer has the bulk of the sheer trade with Great Britain, but he is not a factor in the mutton market, and last year he furnished only three-tenths oi one per cent. of the wool imports oi Great Britain.
 The British trade in sheep imports last year was 3S2.240. and of these the United States supplied 294,S04. But while the British imported 3.530659 hundred. weights of mutton in 1904. the American farmer supplied only 7.420 hundred weights of this vast amount. Great Britain imported 314,46S,O16 pounds of wool last year, but bought only 1,0S7,- $50 pounds from the American farmer It may thus be seen what an immense field of trade, even with one nation alone. is open to American enterprise in single agricultural product Argen- tina, Australia and New Zealand largely supplied the British trade in mutton and wool last year.

 cotton Is still King among our exports The value of exports of raw cotton alone exceeded the value of the com bined exports of breadstuffs. cattle hogs and sheep, provisions and min. eral oils. It was almost three times as great as the value of our iron and steel exports, and two-thirds as great as the value of all our manufactured exports.
 With such a. staple and with its gains in new industries. the south is certainly entitled to feel fairly we'll sat isfied."
 And the south now owns King Cot ton. as never before. She no longer sends it all out to mills far from where the product is grown. As Leonora Beck Ellis, writing in Gun tons Magazine. forcefully phrases it: 'aThe lower Atlantic and gulf states no longer constitute a mere agricult- ural tract, huge, unwieldy. badly titled. with transportation dependent almost solely upon wagon roads and water ways. with scattered towns and sparse and anomalous population com posed of but two classes. the man with the hoe and the landed aristocracy."
 The south has a great territory, something like 1.000.O 900 square miles of area. Thomas Dixon in his pie lures of the south gives us. even the most ignorant. a vivid glimpse at the riches of this vast area; its riches of water and soil. its for ests and minerals. wonderful re- sources. To change from an agri- cultural people to an industrial is not the work of a day. and though the new south is populariy spoken of as having experienced a revolution from old habits. old prejudices. the process has really been no OCT hasty one. one lacking solid foundation It took tragic years to recover from the ruins Of war. The depths of suffering and poverty to which her people were hurled by the appalling catsclysm can never be adequately portrayed. nor car. the protracted period of torpor be wondered at by any who reflect that the slaves emancipzted without reim- bursement represented a loss Of @ 900 0o0. .000 to a white population of less than 5.000. 600. and the destruction 1 that goes hand in hand with war elim- I mated or rendered useless almost that much more in public and private build ings and works.

PERsIA's CITY OF MUD.
Houses, Furniture and Even the Grain Barrels of Yezd Are
 Made of Earth.

One of the most extraordinary cities in tn world is Yezd, in central Persia, T writes traveller. Tt is situated i1 the midst of a vast salt desert which stretches for hundreds of miles in all directions. The nearest inhabited place of any size is Ispahan. and that is 200 miles away. The inhabitants of Yezd who have been away from Yezd during their lives number, perhaps: to or three score. and the bulk of these have not extended their travels further than to tShiraz or Kirman in the onesdirection or to Ispahan in the other. Yet be- tween 5000o and 60,000 people make the place their home. For 99 out of every 100 of these the great outside world has not merely no interest-it has ab- solutely no existence at all.
 z "Yezd is city made almost entirely of mud. Not only are the houses built of this material. but the very furniture, the firepans, the barrels for grain, the children's toys, the bread receptacles. even the beds, are simply mud. molded into rough form and dried in the sun.
 Tn the Yezd shops the goods. mostly mud, are displayed on tiers of mud ledges. and there is a mud room be- hind. The bakers ovens are of mud. down to the very doors. Many of the YzedIs even eat mud and develop an unwholesome muddy complexion in consequence"

7 The Wealth and Progress of :
 Our Great Southland Dixie Now Has Industrial Added to Man
 Arstocrat An Evolution Not Revolution.

The northerner making a flying trip through the south, getting his impress sions very largely from what he is able toview from a car window, is apt to give the country an i'll name, judge il worn and poverty-stricken He should, ere he dilate on superficial i'm pressions, get at facts. We call to his attention an editorial in the Chi cago Record Herald:
 Reference has been made in these columns to the leadership of our southern states in the production of cotton, and 1t is not surprising to find the Manufacturers Record, of Baltf- more, regarding the export figures of the past fiscal year with complacency Among exports exclusively from the south it includes: Cotton, s379, ,965, ,014; i; cottonseed oil, s15,125, ,SO2; cottonseed cake and meal, $13,S97, ITS; naval stores, s16,106.643; phosphates, s6,S66.- 274. This makes total of S451 ESQ., 911, and that alone was nearly one third of all our domestic exports But, besides the articles named, the south exports other products which it raises manufacturers in comomn with other parts of the country-timber, tobacco, petroleum, cotton goods, provisions, grain, coal, cattle, fruits, iron and steel, wood manufactures, leather-and it's share of such exports is roughly esti- mated at $1S3,0oO,oo0. Hence total of s614,900,00 or Al per cent. of the yalue of all the exports of the country.
 The figures prove the wealth of southern fields, and unquestionably

coal fields and tracts of timber near by. a mild climate, an ample supply of native white labor New England now is the region called upon to adapt itself to change.
 Constantly her transportation fa- cilities are extending; coast and river navigation being improved, railroads developing. The south has now about 5o,000 miles of railway. New mill villages spring up all over the land. Though we hear much of the poor pay received by the mill operatives, we must, ere we picture state of ,ab- 5ect poverty, take into consideration the fact that almost all of the neces- saries of life are to be had in the south at much lower price than in the north. The tenement system of the north is practically unknown down there, each family lives by it. self, about the cottage has a bit of ground where much of the living may be raised at practically no outlay oS money. The mill companies often getting their ground for nothing, the former owners glad to favor the val- table new industry, can afford to pro- vide the half acre about the cottage of the tenant mill worker. As rule, the mill towns are laid out with care for the comfort of the residents, with attention to hygienic conditions
 The great iron fields of the southern Appalachian system have been opened up. The growth of this industry was marked as early as 1890, which year the yield of pig iron was 1,750, 900 tons

VOICE OUT OF WEST
Senator Warner at Kansas
 City Banquet.
ADDRESS ON NATIONAL ISSUES.
Demand of the Hour Is For Inteilec- tual Honesty-scores Rebate Evils and Insurance Graft-Prafses
 President Roosevelt.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 9.-Unit ed States Senator Warner elect, the first Republican to be elected to the senate from Missouri since Carl Schurz in 1869, last night was guest of honor at aS farewell banquet at the Midland hotel Six hundred Republic ans from Missouri and Kansas attend ed, and toasts were responded to by several prominent politicians of Mis- souri. Gardiner Lathrop of Chicago, general counsel of the Atchison, To peka and Santa Fe railway, was toast master.
 Senator Warner spoke to the toast National Issues" and said in part:
 The demand of the hour in official life is intellectual honesty, a demand fer officials to act right as well as to think right, officials who hew to the line of duty. as God gives them light to see their duty, letting the chips fall where they may. Today the man of all men in official life who leads the column of intellectual honesty is the president of the United States. I shall enter the senate as personal friend of the president, as an admirer of his stalwart Americanism and of his rug ged official courage No other presi- dent since Lincoln has trusted the peo- pie as Roosevelt trusts them, and no other president have the people trust ed as they trust Roosevelt.
 His efforts to secure legislation clothing the interstate commerce com mission with power to insure a square deal between common carriers and shippers have my unqualified support.
 'The rebate evil, which gives the dis honest dealer an unfair advantage over the honest one, should be driven from the channels of commerce under the lash of the law If this is not done it will be because the honest carriers and the shippers of our country fail to cooperate with the national adminis- tration in enforcing law"
 Senator Warner, speaking of the re- cent insurance exposures said:
 Life insurance companies are to great extent the savings banks of the people and should by legislation be placed under as strict a surveillance as national banks, and the misappro- priation or embezzlement of funds by their officials should be declared to be felony punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary. If warranty can be found in the constitution of the United States for such legislation by the general government of which there is grave doubt, it shall receive my support"
 Speaking of the tariff, Senator War ner said:
 Grounded as I am in the protective tariff faith. l am not inseparably we'd ded to any schedule"
 Senator Warner said that congress should take no backward step in the reclamation of arid lands, declared strongly for "a navy that should be second to none in the world'' and ia vored the admission immediately of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one state bearing the name of Oklahoma.

 The great landed estates of the old south have been changed by the changing industrial conditions. the tenant LSstem succeeding the war has given place to numbers of small farms the property of the man dwelling thereon. He can plant 1t to what crop he will. has no master to enforce the growing of cotton. When there came the decrease fin the price of cotton and low prices continued. there were fore bodlngs of evil among the many: but other southerners cried. Change pur- Eoses and methods wholly. Diversity products to the utmost limit of our liberal climate and soil Reclaim our waste lands: rotate crops. raise grain, nay. small crops of every type. stock of all kinds"
 Southern farmers. it is needless to mention. have not forsaken oofton-it is in the manufacture of this staple the great progress has been mzde-but there Is noticeable an enormous in- crease in the small crops. in cattle and eairy products. The cultivation of ths grains Is receiving general attention, the number of four mills increasing with rapidity. sheep-raising Is a grow ing industry. especially among the hills of North Carolina and Tennessee. The subject Of forestry Is pursued on scientific lines. the lumber trade is ad- szncing. the marine resources are bringing in a goodly harvest. Ia re- gard to development of mineral re aouross. mention should be made of the steel plants and iron foundriss Of Alabama. And mention should bs made of the vOOisn mills of the south that are following the cotton mills. The 1 southern evolution Is a nost Botsbls feature of our industrial life
