pHARAoH's CORN A FAKE.
zuropsaA ssienttsts and JouPnsiasss
Ftnd That They Have Been
ROaxed.

Some time ago there was wonderful
story in the European journals about
certain grains of ancient Egyptian corn
which had been planted in Germany and
had come to life.
The grains, they said. had been found
in an Egyptian sarcophagus and had
been planted by Dresden florist. Some
days later the corn appeared above
ground, much to the surprise of scien-
lists, who did not suppose that there
was any life In grains which were from
1900 to 5000 years old. The corn. how
ever, was certainly growing, and even
the most mcredulous among them soon
became convinced that grains have .
lease of life to which there 10 practical
ly no limit
Alas! A boy employed BY the Drss-
den florist has now confessed that be
planted some other grains In the same
place where his master had planted the
Egyptian ones. and only few hours
after the florist completed his work.
This was sad news for the scientists and
for the numerous journalists who had
written enthusiastically about the mIrac-
ulous qualities of the ancient grains OF
corn.

SWEDEN AND NORWAY.

Some facts regarding Sweden and
Norway, condensed from recent
statistical bulletin are of interest
Just now. The area of the peninsula
is nearly 300,00 square miles and
that of Sweden 1900 square miles
about the size of Oregon and Wash
ington combined. Norway contains
124, 900 square miles and is little
larger than New Mexico. The popula-
tion of Sweden in 1908 was 5,221, ,291,
as compared with 4,828, 100 in 1898,
gain of S.2 per cent in ten years, al
though during that period 259,711
Swedes emigrated, 176,857 of them to
the United States. Sweden has about
the same population as the state of
illinois, though three times as large in
area.
Norway's population increased from
2,032, 100 in 1898 to 1928, 535 in 1908,
or at the rate of 12.6 per cent, while
124, 1886 Norwegians emigrated during
this period, 12O,311 of them coming to
the United States. Norway has
about the same population as Michi
gan or Iowa, in territory twice as
large as either.
Sweden is chiefly an agricultural
country, only 1913 per cent of its pop
ulation dwelling in towns, while in
Norway fisheries hold about an equal
place with agriculture, each furnish
ing an annual income of about $15,-
900, 900. The average value of
Swedens agricultural products for
the years 1898-19 was $65, ,3S8, 900,
while Norway's was scarcely one fifth
this amount. There being no miner
ais of industrial or commercial inn
portance, Norway is obliged to import
considerable breadstuffs and it needs
or desires different tariff law from
Sweden--and in fact, has it, there
being custom houses along the boun-
dary line of the united countise.
During 1908 Sweden imported bread
stuffs amounting to $16, 1881, 900, and
Norway to $15, 100000.
Forests abound in both countries,
and the lumber industry is the prin-
cipal one of Importance common to
both. The timber is largely spruce
and pine, valuable in British and con-
tenintal markets. Of the total exports
those of timber, lumber and manu-
factues thereof such as wood pulp and
matches, constituted in 1908 517. per
cent in the case of Sweden and 40.4
per cent in the case of Norway. The
mining industry is also important in
Sweden, SO,731 persons being employ
ed in it.
Norway's advantage, aside from its
fisheries, lies only in its merchant
marine, which is fourth in size among
the marine nations of the world, be-
ing exceeded only by the United King
dom, the United States and Germany.
Its total tonnage is 1,500,0OO, as

MIssOURps EXPERIMENT.

The legislature that met in January,
1908, appropriated $4,000 for bind
ing twine plant to be maintained in
the penitentiary. In accordance with
that law the legislature just adjourn
ed appropriated $125,O00 more to be
known as revolving fund" !" to be
used only to purchase raw material
required in the manufacture, handl-
ing and marketing of twine. All
moneys derived from the sale OF twine
are to be collected and paid into the
state treasury by the penitentiary
warden, and kept in a separate ac-
count. The warden is empowered to
sell the twine to the farmers OF the
state for cash, free on board the cars
at Jefferson City "and at price per
pound sufficient only to indemnify the
state against loss" State twine in
bulk may also be sold for cash by the
warden to persons in each county who
shall be required to sign an agreement
to sell the twine to actual consumers
at a price not greater than | cent per
pound over its cost, with transporta-
tion from the state capital added.
Manufacturing of the twine has be-
gun, and the price has been fixed at
10 cents a pound. The trusts, it is
said, sell the same article for from IL
1-2 cents to IA cents pound. 1t will
be some time before the working re-
suits Of this special branch of state
industry can be ascertained. So far
the appropriations have amounted to
100000. The farmers who get the
twine at n reduced price also pay tax
es, and the money that has established
the plant, and is set apart for the
revolving fund.-" all comes from
general taxation. Public ownership
rests on public taxation. What it
may return in public revenue is an
open question. 1t remains for actual
practical experience to strike the
balance-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

are usually short-lived. But let it be
said right here that Weston wants no
reform wave to break over the hill,
short lived or otherwise. We want
no Sunday closing agitation. We
have troubles enough just now. Let
the Civic League which is at present
experimenting with Athena leave us
entirely alone. Its interference with
our affairs is not invited or desired.
We can care for the situation our
selves.
The Leader does not desire just now
to enter into discussion of the ethics
of Sunday closing. 1t merely serves
notice on the Civic League, which is
reported to be casting its eagle eye in
this direction, that Weston is we'll
satisfied to shove along in the same
old rut that it occupies at present.
The front doors of saloons are closed
here Sunday, and business houses kept
open until noon. A law is broken
thereby, but we do not want 1t en-
forced here unless it is simultaneously
enforced in every other town and city
in the state of Oregon. It's not good
law for us and poor one for the rest
OF the commonwealth.
We believe that most of Weston a
people are satisfied with the present
arrangement. Customers are accom-
modated Sunday forenoon, and in the
afternoon business men enjoy the rest
that every man should have. Nobody
has been heard to complain in this
community, and outside of it we
think nobody has right to com.
plain.

"HANDe Off"
Weston Leader.

Pendleton and Athena are in the
throes of a Sunday closing movement.
AT Athena last Sunday every business
house was closed all day, as well as
the saloons, which would not stand
for making fish of one and fowl of
another. AT Pendleton every saloon
was closed at front and rear.
The Athena Press. in discussing the
situation, deplores the business injury
done to Athena. 1t also relates with
some gusto the case of one of the Sun
day-closing petitioners who tried last
Sunday without avail to get some re-
pairs for his pump at the hardware
stores, and failing, had to draw water
for his stock by hand.
The Press AYERS that some consola-
ton would be found if other towns
were treated the same as Athena by
the Civic League, but as it is Athena
must bear the stigma of being the
only town in the county which de-
clines to accommodate customers ON
Sunday.
All this trouble may not last long
for Athena. Sunday closing reforms

NO PANIC in sreHr.
Portland Jonrnal.A

(FOrtland JOufnaL)
The time for the usual ten-year
panic or period of depression, count
ing from the beginning of the last
such periods, has now gone by two
years, and the country remains pros
porous. Crops will generally be great,
prices are generally good, industries
are all active, the people have an i'm
mense amount of money in savings
and other banks, and the pessimist
perforce sings low in the land.
The last period of depression, how
ever, was much more prolonged than
previous ones, lasting approximately
four years, so that longer period of
prosperity was due and reasonably ex-
pected. The panic makers cannot
afford on their own account to have
prolonged panic too often.
It may be that there will be reac-
tion and a subsistence of Astounding
prosperity in about two years, 10 years
from the time the panic makers
climbed off the lid in 1897 because
they got men in Office who suited
them; but it may be impossible to
bring about panic even then. With
continuance of great crops and
geatly increased consumption, with
the people we'll fixed for a long rainy
day, and with the country so rapidly
developing in so many ways, it may
be that the panic period will not re-
cur at all, or at least for many years.
The country is bigger and stouter
and wiser and more independent of
the panic breeders than it has ever
been before. Ever so many big fail
ures, and ever so great break in
Wall street, will not affect the coun-
try so much as like incidents of half
the magnitude would have done few
years ago. The country is getting too
big to be scared by Wall street bulls
and bears, or by the antics of frenzied
financiers, perhaps acting in collusion
with political bosses. There may be,
doubtless will be, periods of compare
tive depression, but perhaps never
again such panic as that of 1903-7.
Present prosperity is due chiefly to
the great cornucopia of nature. The
west is harvesting record breaking
wheat crop. The corn crop promises
to be 100000 bushels larger than
ever before. In most sections of the
country there are bumper crops of
oats, barley, rye, rice, fax and pota-
toes. The south has a tremendous
cotton crop coming on, and the to-
bacco crop was never better.
Not only so--throughout the coun
try manufacturing industries are
rushed with work. The steel industry
is many months behind its orders.
Every ship building plant is working
to its full capacity. The railroads
have all the business they can possibly
do. The wholesale houses never did
so large a business. Retailers are reg
istering their best records. Cities
everywhere are building up rapidly.
The country is filling up, too. People
are working as never before, and
spending more money in play than
ever before.
Under such circumstances no period
of depression is in sight and it is not
worth while to strain ones vision
peering into the future to discern one.
