BUYS 100000 ACRES
COOPERATIVE FEDERATION
ACQUIRES LAND GRANT.
Old Military Wagon Road Tract
Reaching Across Central Oregon
Has Been Purchased by Christian
Cooperative Federation and Will

The deal is practically closed
whereby the Cooperative Christian

OFFICIALS URGE BOYCOTT.
High Chinese Believe Exclusion Act
Is Unjust.

Rev. c.. f. Fitch, for "a years
missionary in Shanghai, believes that
high officials of the Chinese govern
ment are secretly involved in the boy
colt being declared in the Flowery
Kingdom against American goods
says the Oregon Daily Journal. En-
couragement to the boycott is given
surreptitiously because friendly rela-
tions are supposed to exist between
the nations.
"Up to this time the government
has taken no hand openly in the boy
cott," said Mr.. Fitch today, "but 1t Is
generally believed in China that GER
tain high government officials are as
sisting in the movement to the limit
of their powers. OF course, they must
do so secretly.
"In fact, the boycott has not been
officially declared by the guilds or
societies in China. AS soon as the
mandate is given by the societies that
American goods must be boycotted the
people will obey implicitly"

AUSTRALIAN WOOL
Output is INCREAS-
ING VERY SLOWLY
Stocks of Wool Are Low and Promise
of Replenishing Them Is Not Good
Total Number of Sheep Gradually
Increasing in All the Colonies.

The Yorkshire Post, leading Eng
nsh industrial paper, commenting on
the Australian wool supply and sheep
conditions in Australia, says:
II is estimated that of the increas-
ed exports Of wool from Australia at
the end OF the present season, New
South Wales will have contributed no
less than 10000 bales, valued at over
S7,50O,o0O. In the same state, it is
also to be noted, the stock returns to
the end of December show nearly g.
600. .OO0 sheep have been added to the
flocks in that part, bringing the total
up to S4.5S1,0O0 head. an increase
roughly valued at s15,000,000.
The most conservative estimates are
that during the season 1s05-6 the New
South Wales clip will show an in
crease of no less than that in 19O4-5,
thus bringing the production of the
state up to 100000 bales, or about
equal to the output in the wool year
1900-l901, and, assuming that grow
ers are so fortunate as to make such
prices as prevail today, this will mean
TO them an increase in money value
of sl5,0OO,000. to compare with the
season just closing.
1t is further estimated that at the
close of 1905 the flocks in New South
Wales will stand at 40,000,0 600 head, a
figure not reached since 1901, the low
est being in 1902, when the officia
stock returns put the sheep at 26,'
$4,000. 1t is also to be remembered
In reading these statistics that th'
season is already so far advanced a:
to make it highly improbable that tbs
most adverse conditions will serious
ly affect the situation.
Latest statistics show that there
were in Queensland al the end of 190-
1882, 93S sheep, as against S,392,O4'
at the end of 1903, demonstrating tina
there has been a substantial move
ment in the right direction. Ther'
has also just come to hand from Vic
toria the census of sheep in that par
of the colony not previously taker
since 1901.
In the latter year there were 10.
$4,000 sheep in this part. Then came
the depletion by the drought, and /
was estimated that by the end of 190'
there were only S,774,731 sheep
Now the official figures give the mum
ber at the end of last year as 10,16S,
600. and though the whole of the los
compared with 1901 has not been re
gained, the recovery has been no les
wonderful than in other parts.
Stocks of wool are low, as also ar
stocks of finished materials, but n

OUT OF POLITICS
RECLAMATION OUT OF
REACH OF POLITICIANS,
Effort to Reorganize II and Make IL
Prey of the Machines VIII BE
Foiled by the President-IIe Is De-
termined to Keep Ii Clean and
Make IL Useful.

1t is evident from murmurings that
have been heard of late that an at
tempt will be made at the coming ses-
sion of congress to bring about re-
organization of the reclamation serv-
ice, says Washington dispatch.
There is dlsgruntlemenu in states
where the government has failed as
yet to undertake the construction of
irrigation works; there is a different
kind Of grumbling in other states
where certain politicians have been
unable to unload upon the present
service certain scheme in which they
or their friends are Interested.
The majority of the members of
congress will be inclined to set aside
any bill proposing to reorganize the
reclamation service for this reason:
The national irrigation law went into
effect only three years ago; there has
not been time to test any single pro-
ject built under the law: therefore, II
is not known to a certainty whether
the reclamation service, as now or
ganized, is success or a failure,
though every indication is in its favor.
Moreover, the criticisms of the serv-
ice are not on broad grounds, but To-
cal ones, and with much that is inn
portant to occupy its time, congress
is not apt to give an ear to men who
have a tale of woe.
It may be set down for positive
fact that any bill proposing to reor'
ganize the reclamation service so as
to place 1t within the reach of politi'
clans will not be passed, for the pres
ident will not stand for 1t, and he has
a good deal of influence with congress
on matters of this sort. The service
is today non-partisan and non-politi
cal; the president wants it kept so.
