part Of this county where he went
to attend to some legal matters.
This was his fret trip to that sec
ton and he is very favorably i'm
pressed with it.. lie says Harney
valley is not all Of Harvey by any
means aud that our people
should visit the hospitable people
of that end of the conuty and really
get an idea of the greatness Of Hai-
ney county and It's resources. He
says:
"Harney Valley comprises by no
means all Of Harney county, nor
can 10 lay claim to excellence in
every respect over other portions Of
the vast territory now embraced in
Harney county II any one doubts
this, aud there may still be patri-
otic citizens of Burns and vicinity
who do, let him take the trip to
what is commonly called the
south end and he will in all pro-
liabilities be astonished not only
at the vastness of the large area Of
fertile lands, as well as

MIR. ROOTS VISIT TO PERU.

The cordial reception given to Sec retary Root at Lima upon the occa- sion of his visit to the Peruvian cap ital was what was to be expected in a country that is exceptionally friend ly to the United States. In fact, one of the most pleasant incidents of the American statesman's brief visit to Lima was the speech of Foreign Min ister Prado at the Union club banquet, Senor Prado mentioned as an exam pie of the justice which had always characterized the policy of the United States toward Peru, the return of the Lobos seal islands to Peru by the northern republic, in 1852. After care full examination of all the facts bear ing upon the case, the Washington government became convinced of Pe- rus flight to them: In replying to sr. Pradb, Secretary Root said he was

The announcement comes from Houston that the Democrats of Texas are going to oust Bailey from the sen- ate This would seem beyond belief
 if we didn't know Arkansas had oust- ed James Berry from the senate and placed in his stead the unspeakable Jeff. Davis And that state did nearly as bad again when it busted Jones for Clarke Clarke and Davis defeated Jones and Berry by popular vote in Democratic state primary elections. and when this fact is seriously consid- cred it makes one have grave doubts as to whether or not the election of United States senators by popular vote would be best or not. Texas has no man who can fill Baileys place in the senate, and that state should leave we'll enough alone.-Owensboro (kyD Daily Inquirer.

NEWSPAPERS AND RAILROADS.

In conformity with what was be- lieved to be the requirements of the new railroad regulation law, Inter- state Commerce Commissioner Judson c. Clements has given notice that al contracts between railroads and newspapers for payment for advertis- ing with transportation are void and unlawful.
 The law requires that so far as the railroads are concerned, all advertis- ing must be paid for with money, and so far as the newspapers are concern ed all transportation must be paid for with cash.
 There is no commercial usage more solidly established in immemorial cus- tom and in law than is barter, the exchange of one commodity for an- other. If this primeval right of bar ter which was used long before any such thing as money was in existence, and six thousand years before there was a railroad, can be abolished as between railroads and newspapers, it can be abolished under any and all circumstances-New Orleans Plea

 Perhaps the first country on the west coast of South America to eX- perience benefit from the completion of the Panama Canal will be Peru for it is the most advanced of all the countries north of Chile. It IS es- timated by careful foreign observers that Peru, which now has nearly D. 100000 inhabitants, could easily maintain, in comfort, on it's 696,OOO square miles of territory, 2O,O0O,OOO people The latent resources of the country are very great. The bulk of it's trade at present is with Great Britain; Germany coming next, and the United States third. The Panama Canal would place Peru in quick communication with the Atlantic ports of the United States. Peru has shown the greatest interest in the Canal project, properly regarding it as work of civilization which will put an end to her isolation from the pig modern world.

come with weather changes. To an unbiased observer it is pretty clear that the education to higher prices views is again coming the front and cheap is freely heard. This shoWs~a change of sentiment in favor of cotton
 which only needs sufficient provocation or active demonstration ill the mar kets.
 While at present it is thus uncertain
 which side the bulk of the speculation
 is going to favor, shorts scalping op
 erations will be the safest way for action.
 Liverpool was steady according to cablegrams, owing to less offering of actual cotton from the south. Futures showed only to 5 points decline against 12 lower as due but it declin- ed later in the day only on disappofnt- ing markets on our side. Spot prices are 12 lower; sales 10000.
 Our market opened unchanged then weakened on liberal selling for inferior account, in the absence of any bull support. When. the official weather forecast for the western cotton belt was posted at 10 a. m., showing gener al showers, prices jumped II points, The excellent weather west of Louisi- ana for the past two weeks has been the main comfort to bearish sentiment up to now. Should there be a change of worse weather, more covering would be likely to follow Weather conditions during the past 36 hours were decidedly favorable, partly cloudy weather prevailing, only a few light showers.
 Indications point to continuance of these conditions, except that a cool wave may cause heavy showers in the portion.
 There is a good spot demand, most of our receipts are through cotton and the outlay here is relatively small. Stiff prices are being paid. Good grades relatively scarce on account of rains in the belt during harvest sea son. It will be of benefit to our friends dealing in actual cotton to hear that Europe cables that many shippers are asking for an extension of time to fill contracts for high grades.
 Liverpool recovered all of the early loss towards the close and bull oper- ators in New York started pushing the market, prices advancing rapidly on forecast of eastern half belt liable to have showers. @a
 Opinion is all very much upset and in consequence nervous. WALTER COTTER AND COMPANY
