President Mechlin's Report.

The annual report of the president was
In part, as follows:
I'm reviewing the work of the past year
I think we may safely say that We have
made splendid progress as an association
and have accomplished much good for the
general welfare of our industry.
I'VE have been blessed with participa-
ton in the greatest prosperity this country
has ever enjoyed. The largest volume OF
business ever known to the piano trade has
been done during the past twelve months,
with less friction and with a more friendly
spirit of competition than would have been
possible before the formation Of our asso-
citation Surely this in itself reflects great
credit on the work we have done.
I'VE have become we'll acquainted with
each other, and have learned to look upon
our business interests in a more lofty and
unbiased manner, not in a narrow sense,
but with a view of meeting general condi-
tons in better way through our united
efforts for the correction of abuses, the
interchange of valuable information and
condolences, and the advancement of the
whole piano business for our mutual BEN
eft.

Arizona's Great Ostrich Farm.

The largest ostrich farm in America
is located ten miles from Phoenix.
1t contains more taan 100 full-grown
birds. The feathers from them yield
annually $4,000. 1t is claimed that
the plumage is more beautiful than
that of the birds raised in South
Africa. Ostrich growers estimate
their chicks as being worth 800 at
six months old, $3.50 at one year, 5000
to $3.50 at two years, and $500 to $3.50
at three years, while at four years
of age, when they begin to breed,

The copper era., 1906-04-26

from the hurried reports telegraphed
to Los Angeles, by persons in the i'm
mediate presence of death, this
hastily written note is made. 1 would
be glad indeed to make an inspec-
tion of the. entire area, and try to
determine the real nature of the
awful upheaval.
There is one more hypothesis re-
garding the obscure cause of earth
strains-the vast accumulation of ice
at both poles. Enormous heaps are
piling up deeper and deeper every
year. The shell of the earth cannot
be very thick or rigid. These weights
on the axis must have effect. From
secular changes all the time at work
in the orbit of the earth, it is known
to astronomers that distances from
the sun vary, and that the alternate
poles change relations to the sun,
during vast periods of time. This
causes the ice to vary in thickness
as polar caps. The earth trembles
necessarily, but very delicate seis-
mographs are required terecord these
minute oscillations.
