Seventeen Years Old.
Y0UME Xyl

With this issue The Index
starts on its seventeenth year
of publication. In that length,
of time it has seen many
changes in the lives Of San
Juan county's good citizens,
has experienced many owners
aifd been Duiteted here and
there on the political sea. The
main aim of its existence has
been to supply a gnawing need
in the pocketbooks and sUom-
achs of its editors-ard Incl
dentally to help along the good
work of advertising its home.
The number of good citizens it
has attracted to this favored
spot can never be known. The
Index has labored on through
the dark labyrinth of a mere
existence, raising its voice at
all times in cheer and bidding
the stranger welcome to a land
of milk and honey which at the
time was myth. For some
years, however, it has been
upon paying basis, thanks to
many San Juan people and Du-
range, as well.
The Index is trying to de-
serve the support of all it is
getting out better paper than
its patronage warrants. 1t rec
ognizes no section of San Juan
county to the exclusion of any
other section. 1t is the "coun-
ty paper" If you are not al
ready a subscriber to this paper,
a postal card will bring it to
| you and if you think you do not
get your moneys worth, ii will
not cost you cent.
With best wishes to all, The
Index passes its 18th milestone.

TEN SHIPS IN HARBOR.
Grain Fleet at Portland Largest Ever
i'm Any Northwest Port,

The tremendous strides being mad,
by Portland, now the leading whea
port of the United States, as a ship
ping and commercial center was strik.
ingly shown during the past week by
the presence in the harbor OF the larg.
est fleet of ocean-going freighters
ever assembled in northwestern wa
ters, 10 large 'freighters being at
tracted here to carry away the pro-
duets of the territory Immediately con-
tiguous to this city. says the Sunday
Journal.
Three of these steamers sailed dur
ing the week, filled to the matches
with cargoes running into a value OF
hundreds Of thousands of dollars, and
one will get away this morning.
Others of the big fleet will follow
as quickly as they can be made ready
for the sea, and continuous stream
of freight carriers will be seen pass
ing over the bar for several days
bound for foreign ports.
The illustration is one seldom pre-
sented anywhere, because while some
OF the great ports of the Atlantic
coast and Europe dispatch immense
liners with clockwork regularity these
ports serve as distributing points for
vast and thickly populated sections,
oftentimes continents, whereas, so far,
Portland's exports are confined prin-
cipally to products of its immediate vi
cinity.

CAPACITY OF STOCKYARDS.
Chicago Literally Supplies the World
With Meat

The daily capacity of the Union
stockyards in Chicago, is $4,000 cat
tie, 100000 hogs and $4,000 sheep.
Persons employed in and about the
yards number $4,000. upon whom are
dependent probably a quarter million
relatives.
Within the square mile occupied by
the stockyards are 200 acres of pens,
90 miles Of streets, 20 miles of water
ing troughs, 55 miles of drainage and
water pipes and $50 miles of railroad
tracks. The stockyards were founded
in 1865. With accessories, they repre-
sent invested capital of $67,000,0 900.
CT icago literally supplies the world
with meats. The armies of England,
France, Germany and Russia subsist
partly upon fare prepared there, as do
a great part of the population of
those countries.
The Union stockyards received last
year 2,61S,6S0 head of cattle, or l.
92s,923 more than ST. Louis, 1,So3,-
S6S more than Omaha and 767,397
moro than Kansas City.
Nearly twice the number of sheen
slaughtered in Kansas City, Omaha
and st. Louis are killed annually In
Chicago, while much OF the stock sold
in other cities finds its destination in
Chicago.
Since the establishment of the
Union stockyards 100000 live an
imals have been received, of which
12,37O,0OO were shipped away alive,
leaving a total of 339,6SO, 900 animals
killed and packed in 40 years at this
chief center of the meat industry.

Adams, July S0.-Wheat is yielding
well in the Adams country, and farm
ers generally are very much pleased
with the outlook. Most of the wheat
is yielding from 35 to 40 bushels to the
acre. L. L. Rogers, who has been
threshing the past week is receiving
40 bushels to the acre, and most of it
has been stored in the Kerr Clifford
warehouse for which 7. A. Lieuallen
is manager. George Perringer has
been receiving an average of 40 BUSH
els to the acre, and nearly all who
are threshing find that the yield is
far beyond all expectations.
The Interior, the Pacific Coast and
the Farmers warehouses will all be
receiving grain next week. Some has
already been stored in the Farmers
warehouse.
