Director Of Mint,s Statement For
Year 1904.

Washington, Oct. 2O.-George E Rob.
erts. the Director of the Mint. has pre-.
pared statement of the worlds pro-
duction Of gold and silver for tbs ralen.
dar year 1904. The statement shows
total gold valued at $347, $50 700, an ag.
gregate of 16S, 493 53S fine ounces of sil.
YER, and a commercial value of silver
otaling $97, ,726, 200. the coinage value
Of which is $217 ,S50,2O
These figures show an increase Of
about 100000 in gold over the
bureaus estimate for the calendar year
1908. The United States shows a gain
Of about 81 .0OO, ,N }, and South Africa Of
$l8,Cc0. The Director says that both Of
these countries are still upon rising
scale OF production. Australia, on the
other hand. is an important producer,
which shows q tendency to reduce it's
contribution, although the falling off is
not large, and may be temporary. Con-
sidering developments in well-known
fields, it seems reasonable forecast to
expect the wo'ld's output in 1905 to ex-
oeed that of 1904 by s25, 600. 900, with
another gain probable in 1906.
The most important goldfeld in the
world is that of the Transvasl and for
that the data for working costs and
profits are quite incomplete. The out
put for 1904 was s.13O. 72S, produced
by "A companies. Their working pro-
fits, after paving the 10 per cent tax on
profits to the government, are reported
at $26. .4O2, ,l63. The amount actually

SHORTAGE OF SHEEP,
Livestock Agent Says Figure
Reaches 10000, 900.

CD. Mills, livestock agent for the O.
r. & N, says that never before in the
history of the stockraising industry in
Oregon have sheep been valued 80 bigh-
ly as now. Mutton is selling on the
hoof from 1915 to 81. The ruling quo
tation for years has been $3.50, bu. in
the opinion of Mr.. Mills, mutton will
not soon decline to that level, owing to
the conditions now Influencing the East
ern market.
There is shortage of fully 2O,ocO,-
co sheep in the United Statss," re-
marked Mr.. Mills today. "Conditiol
appear favorable for continuation of
the prevailing high prices because 90
much land Las been taken up in the
past few years, diminishing the grazing
area and many persons who formerly
dealt in sheep have retired. Oregon
has less percentage of shortage then
most states, and as a result tho number
of sheep within it's borders is increasing.
Wool has taken an upward moye. many
contracts having been closed in Idaho
for the 1907 clip at "a cents, which
means that every sheep sheared in Ore
gon will turn off it's back 81 worth of
wool, though up TO date l have not
heard of contracting being carried on
for the new clip.
shipments Of sheep to the principal
Eastern markets have been heavy, aud
it is safe to say every available snimsl
in the Northwest has either been placed
in transit or is sold to be shipped, TO.
there is strong demand. Conditions
are better now for the sheepmen than
ever before, and the outlook is promis.
ing unless the spectators repeat the
disastrous performance of q few days
ago. o."-Telegram.

In a pamphlet OF As pages the
Hon. Henry II. Smith (Republi
CAM gives an account Of the stew
ardship Of Senator J. c. S. Black
burn. His labors have most GER
tainly been continuous and arduous
and to demand that the old gentle
man again resume the duties Of
United States Senator at the close
Of this term is really cruel. Why,
this pamphlet gives an account Of
almost innumerable efforts in behalf
of the betterment of the condition
of affairs in this country, and to
ask that Mr.. Blackburn do more
would be iuconsiderate. Are there
not others, young men of Drawn
and brain, who would begin the
training for the honored yet knotty
task of enduring the labors and
hardships in U. S. Senate2 Is it
not time the riding of this willing
horse with a service Of nearly 80
years come to a close?
Mr.. Blackburn's opportunities
have been many. In subsequent
issues we shall number these op-
portunities and make statement Of
what has come to pass. Mr.. Smith
in his closing remarks Of his friend
ship of 20 years and more gives
his estimate Of Senator Blackburn
in the following language: 81
trust the Legislature OF Kentucky
will not finally adjourn until it has
elected Republican to succeed
Senator Blackburn in the Senate Of
the United States. Il has il Brad
ley, Hunter, Evans and others
who might be named, men who
would fill with honor and distinc-
ton to themselves and the State of
Kentucky the seat now occupied
by Mr.. Blackburn. ard if you
can't elect one OF these, take
Blackburn. My, how the mighty
have fallen.

For the Fiscal Court we desire to
say that the cost of preparing, GER
tifying and publishing in newspaper
itemized list of reports of receipts
f, and disbursements is about 800
and the reason it has not beer Gus
tomary to publish same is that it
was purely and solely question of
economy and the saving of this
expense.
But as some question has arisen
over the matter we state that we
are having said financial report
prepared and will have same pub
lshed as soon as possible.
We can say that report will
show that the county's fiscal af-
fairs are in good condition.
When we entered in the discharge
of our duties in 1898 the County
had just acquired the turnpikes
which cost about $4,000 and for
which vouchers, all bearing inter
est, some at 5 per cent. and some
at per cent. had been issued, and
which vouchers were payable out Of
the levles of the succeeding years,
and no money was on hand to pay
these vouchers or any part of them.
The County at the same time
owed $4,000 railroad bonds of
which $1,000 were due and also
$4,000 Courthouse bonds, besides
other debts.
Since that time the County has
reduced its indebtedness on ac-
count of turnpikes nearly $4,000,
has paid $4,000 Railroad and
Courthouse bonds, has built pier
for the big iron bridge over Slate
creek at Howard's Mill about
$4,000, female department at Jail,
new heating apparatus at Court
house, and many other needed i'm
provements.
There have been a number Of
smallpox outbreaks to contend with
and this has been an unlocked for
item of expense.
The turnpikes have been kept in
as good repair as possible and are
today in better condition than they
were when purchased, and at last
regular meeting of Fiscal Court,
April 4, 1905, the County had in
cash funds available on deposit in
hands of Treasurer So, 1873 Oh which
was more than sufficient u pay all
outstanding vouchers of all kinds
issued for carrying on the general
expenses OF the County and also on
account of repairs of turnpikes up
