 The globe trotter returning to this country from the illimitable steppes of Russia, or from the terrible rigors Of far-off Siberia, comes with vivid re- collections of those vast stretches of land. Nor can we have less remem- brance were he to penetrate the myste- rious interior of Africa. No less would @ foreigner be impressed with the vast solttudes of the West-the weary reaches of Kansas prairies, the far away stretches of the Texas estacad- does, and the silent grandeurs of the Rockies. So used have we become to the mighty West" that in these days of commercial conquest we have all but lost the real sense of its ancient meaning.
 Now, the touTist rides fin Pullman cars over the foothills. the lesser ranges, and at last crosses the Great Divide. Over these highways he pass es from the rigorous winds of Texas or Kansas blizzard until he finds him self among the perfumes and enchant- ed valleys of the Pacific Coast. One can hardly realize the transformation that has taken place in these few short years. Hitherto. lumbering des- ert schooners, harassed by all the dan gers of the widest frontier, dragged along the dusty highways of the plains and lost their path amidst the soli- tudes-the tortuous trails that led through the mighty canyons and along the dizzy precipices of a mountain trail. These old trails of the pioneer West have a lingering glory that re- fuse to fade.

Orders for Nitrate.

Large orders have been placed by Caicut- ta dealers In Santiago de Cuba for nitrate to be used as fertilizer on Indian cotton fields The planters have agreed to buy up to certain amount. It Is believed that with scientific use of the nitrate the in- crease of cotton will easily reach 35 pei cent. of above present production.
 It has been stated that the production of cotton piece goods. dhooties. long cloth and saris. made by hand looms in India equals the output of the cotton mills. and I have accepted the statement and repeat ed 1t. But I have noed in handling the government statistics that the statement is incorrect The statement Is made by gov consumption of hand looms for 1s06-07 amounts to 500.000 bales. while the mills will probably consume 3.s7s.6sT bales dur ing the same period or ever seven times more than that worked up by the hand looms.

Consul A. J. Clare of Barbados submits the following report, giving the estimated value of cotton lint exported from various West Indian Islands for the nine months ended June 90. 1907:
 Shipments for the December quarter. 1908. amounted to $57.716; for the March quarter, 1907, s4f3,496; and for the June quarter. 1907. sS3o.SS9; the total value aggregating &SOt,000. These figures have been cempil- ed by the Imperial Department of Agri- culture for the West Indies the headquar- ters of which are at Barbados. The islRnds represented in these exports are confined 10 the Lesser Antilles. Taking the value of the seed also into consideration. the total value would probably amount to sseo. .o00. The Department of Agriculture in publish ing these figures says 1t is not improbable that next year 1so7-0s) the total value of the cotton lint and seed exported from these colonies will exceed 100000.

Calcutta Dealers Place in Chilli Large Or ders for Nitrate to Be Used for Ferti- Iizer in Increasing the Yield of
 Cotton--In the West Indies-

Consul General W. IT. Michael sends from Calcutta the subjoined information concern dia:
 Owing to the ravages of the boliworm the area put under Egyptian cotton in Sind last year. amounting to some 5000 acres, yielded an exceedingly poor outturn, on- ly reaching a little over I.60o bales. against an expected yield of about 3. 900 bales bas- ed on the results obtained in 1905. It ap- pears that the Egyptian cotton is partie- ularly susceptible to the bollworm and that in consequence the quality of the last years crop was poor, result due also to the un- skilled and primitive method of picking. Last years Sind Egyptian cotton crop is TO- ported to have been weak in staple com pared with the real Egyptian and much more full of leaf Tree cotton is also being experimented with in the Hyderabad dis trict of Sind. and Is said to be promising we'll so far,

RIVALRY AMONG SOCIETY

IN ciety there is just as much compe.

rivalry for the honor of the highest

The other day at Newport there was
a fair to raise money for church, and
the devices conceived by the matrons
of society to get the money from their
neighbors were almost maryelously in
genious. Miss Pauline French is said
to have cast all her competitors in the
dark with her booth, the contents of
which were a strict secret until the
fair was well under way. When she
unveiled the booth there was big

said things about the church fair idea
the other day when he returned to his
Oakland farms and learned that Mrs
Vanderbilt had donated to the fair
nearly an of the large stock of maple
sugar which he had specially made
somewhere up in the woods. Mr.. Van

this maple syrup for them was a sort
