A Deserted Village.

Mexico's Potato King.

Out on the Chihuahua and Pacific
railroad is the greatest potato-growing
region yet developed in Mexico, says
the Mexican Herald. A large market
is rapidly being opened up, the pota-
toes, which are fine in quality and of
large size, resembling the famous Gree
ley product, having reputation
throughout northern Mexico. Already
during the present season one Mexican
farmer alone has shipped two carloads
to Monterey.
The leading potato farmer of the
State, in fact, of the republic, is ole
Coayem, a China1nan of modern pro-
gressive ideas, from whose farm, $500
feet above sea level, at Pedernales,
right on the continental divide, some
seventy carloads of potatoes will be
shipped this season. Joe came from
China some years ago bent upon max
ing his way up in the world. He has
mastered both English and Spanish
thoroughly and subscribes for and
reads the papers in both languages
Five years ago he bought two acres at
Pedernales "for a song" and on time
He paid for them out Of his first years

several thousand acres.

A community which has been con-
fronted with closing Of institutions

alleled misfortune, says the New York
Post Yet there have been ''panics,"
even in recent times, when circum-
stances were more heart-breaking even
than that Of depositors in the Knicker-

banks which went down with it. The
case of 1857, almost forgotten, was one
In which not only bank deposits, but
the money in the pocket Of every indi-
yidual, turned out useless for private
wants. The mood of the man who
learned Of the closing Of a string Of
note-issuing banks under the older sys-
tenn and who searched his pocket book
anxiously to see If his means Of paying
petty bills was suddenly cut off, had
different aspect even than to-day's.
Five months after our panic Of 1893,
the two banks in the colony of New
foundland, whose circulating notes
made up the whole currency Of the ISL
and, closed their doors, and both were
completely insolvent. The community
was literally left without any circu-

The Detroit River and the Sault ca
mails are the two chief points for the
enumeration Of the vessels and car
goes which carry and make up the
enormous traffic Of the American lakes
the largest water borne traffic in al
equal area in the world. Statistics
taken at these two points, pending the
tabulation and summing up Of the fig
ures by ports, give a fairly accurate
view Of the magnitude Of that traffic
A preliminary bulletin on that basis
issued by the Department Of Commerce
and Labor shows that in total bulk
and in all important divisions save one
the lake traffic of the season Of 1907
breaks all records. The exception is
Of course, the lumber traffic, which is
dwindling because Of the reckless way
in which the great pine forests Of the
old Northwest have been exploited fol
the last quarter century. No less than
1888, 1O6 tons of iron ore were taken
from the Lake Superior mines this
year to feed the furnaces Of Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and Illinois. This was
nearly 100000 tons more than in 1900
and 100000 tons more than in 1905
Most Of the wheat also passes the
Sault although some goes eastward
from Lake Michigan ports and small
err amount from Lake Erie. The de
partment's bulletin shows that Sc, 153,
551 bushels passed the Sault and only
%, 1O1 1878 bushels passed Detroit, giving
increases at the two checking points
respectively, Of 46 and Al per cent over
1906. These figures, unless there is al
error in the departments printed bulle
tin, raise an interesting question. II
is: What became of that 24,OOO,OO(
bushels of wheat? The obvious answer
is that most of 1t went to Europe over
the Canadian railways. However, that
amount of wheat would require for its
handling about $4,000 cars, a capacity
not credited to the Canadian railways
reaching the lake from Sarnia north,
ward to the Sault, and which is denied
to them by all railway men. The de

figures, which, If correct, show a most
astonishing and unsupported growth OF
Canadian railway capacity. The corn
figures are clear enough. Chicago is
the great shipper Of corn, and 35,77O,.
712 bushels Of it passed Detroit, over a
million bushels more than in 1906. The
soft coal movement over the lakes is
chiefly from Lake Erie ports north and
west. Nearly 100000 tons passed
Detroit, as against S,4S4,861 tons in
1906. The total freight traffic Of the
great lakes passing Detroit for the sew
en- months ending with September was
49,526,478 tons, as against 44,125, 1872
tons for the same months in 1906.

better with European governmental
systems, Menelek has commission
travelling from court to court picking
up information which later Is to be
turned to the advantage of Abyssinia.
Menelek, for an African potentate,
who has never left the limits Of his do
minions, is progressive ruler and has
introduced many modern improvements
into his kingdom. He came to the
throne In 1889 and under him the Ital-
ian ambition to rule the country was
effectively ended at Adowa, where the
Italian army was badly beaten. Meme

esque and keeps well posted on foreign

develop the national resources Of the
