R. T. Dabney and son have been in
Aberdeen for several days, coming over
from Portland to observe how affairs here
are going along. Mr.. Dabney says that
property in Portland is looming, and es-
pecially on the East Side, where the
Swifts propose to erect their mammoth
packing plant. Mr.. Dabney last week
sold q lot for $500 that cost him half
that amount year ago. For another
lot which cost him 81, 500 year ago he
has been offered $4,000.

BEADED LIGHTNING.
Remarkable Trails Said to Be Left
by Powerful Thunderboits.


Not long ago some one sent to ''The
United States Weather Review" a
monthly publication issued at Washing
ton, an account of singular trail left
by fash of lightning. 1t was marked
by disconnected bright spots or beads.
After reading the story DR.. Irving
Langmuir, Of the Stevens Institute,
Hoboken, N. j., was moved to relate
similar experiences of his own. He
had previously suspected that his
imagination might have played him
some trick, but when he discovered
that others had observed the same
thing he ventured to give the facts.
The storms in which the beads were
observed occurred in Switzerland and
New Hampshire-two in the former
and one in the latter place. Each
of them was exceptionally violent,
among the most violent he had ever
witnessed. The phenomenon was OBJ
served only with flashes which were
comparatively close, within perhaps
1000 feet. In each storm several fash

flash which struck near by exhibited
that peculiar appearance. Dr.. Lang
muir estimates the time during which
the beads remained Visible IS at least
one second, time amply sufficient
to observe distinctly. 1t appeared to
him that the whole course of the flash
remained luminous, with a dull red
glow, but that at intervals along the
path bright points like spa ks ap-
peared to remain suspended in the
air. The sparks appeared to be NOV
ing horizontally, as Though blown by
the wind.
Dr.. Isangmuir spoke many times
with others about the phenomenon,
but has met no one, even among ex-
perienced mountaineers, who had OBJ
served anything like it.

FIFTEEN BILLIONS OF MANU-
FAcTuRES.
Bureau Shows Huge Totals of
Products and Exports.


Fifteen billions of dollars represent
the value of the production of manu-
features in the United States in the
year ended June 30, as shown in the
annual report of Col John M. Cal
son, Chief of the Bureau of Manufac-
lures.
Last year the aggregate value of
domestic merchandise exported was
1851, 100000, an increase of nearly
$136,000,G00 over the preceding year
In this classification manufactures
ready for consumption" are credited
with $4S0,000,000, and 'foodstuffs
partly or wholly manufactured and
manufactures for further use in
manufacturing, aggregating $606,000,-
600, are grouped, making the aggre-
gate value Of manufactures exported
$1,0S6, 100000
Special significance is attached to
the increase of nearly $20,000,O00 in
the exports of completed manufact-
ures, in view OF the fact that the ex-
ports of cotton cloths declined more
than $21. 100000 because of the loss
IN the cotton trade with China
The cottonseed product exports for
the year were upward of S40,500,000,
an increase of $9,500000 over 1906
In commenting on these figures the re-
port says:
Aside from its intrinsic value this
relatively new industry has an eco
nomic value and Importance to the
country, the beneficial results of which
are especially felt in, the several
states in which cotton is Indigenous
and in which the cottonseed industry
is naturally located"
The success attending investigation
by experts sent abroad has led to the
adoption of the policy of specializing
Investigations of trade conditions in
foreign markets.
One of the obstacles to the enlarge
ment of export trade is the uncer-
tainty of transit between places of
production and the seaboard. Mer-
chants in the Orient especially COM
plain that calculation cannot be made
as to when goods ordered in the United
States will be delivered, and in
consequence orders go to European
houses that should come to those of
this country. The bureau has been in
correspondence with managers of rail-
way and ocean steamship companies
with a view to obtaining more reliable
and rapid transit for merchandise
destined to fo-eign countries.
Demands made by business men for
the extension Of the parcels post to
foreign countries is discussed. 1t is
asserted that this extension would
open markets now closed to American
business men for lack of transporta-
ton facilities, but which are open to
their competitors.

His Boots For Bed.

An army officer in charge of a ma
tive district in South Africa presented
the Kafir boy who acted as his par
ticular servant with pair of strong
heavily nailed ammunition boots.
The boy was delighted with the
gift, and at once sat down and put the
boots on. They were the very first
pair he had ever had In his life, and
for several days afterwards he strutted
proudly about the camp with them.
But few days later he appeared
as usual in bare feet with the boots
tied round his neck

okIahoma,s Size and Importance.

According to the Federal census of
1900 the population of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory was 790,391, and was
pretty evenly divic,sd between the
two. Each of these territories had a
larger population than any one of the
following western States: North Da-
kota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Utah.
If they had been combined as one
State its population would have ex-
ceeded that of South Dakota or Colo
RADIO.
Under special census, just taken,
the total population of the combined
Territory is placed at something more
than 100000, or nearly double the
fifure of seven years ago. 1t exceeds
that Of Nebraska in 1900 and comes
close to that of Kansas in that year
And the area of both Territories COM
bined is less than that of any of the
States that we have named.
Not only has the increase of popu-
lation been very remarkable, but no
State on its admission has had so
large population or SO dense pop
ulation. The difference is so very
marked that Oklahoma may be said to
stand in class by itself As the
States stood in 1900, it would rank
twenty third, next to Kansas, and al
lowing for the probable increase else
where it should hold that rank in

Alcohol From Artichoke..

The price of combustible alcohol
in Germany. In the latter country
it is chiefly the beet root that fur.
nishes the alcohol, while in France it
is the Irish potato. The cultivation
of the former is one-half that of the
latter. In commenting on these facts
German writer points out to France
that tubercle Of Importance, much
more rustic than the Irish potato and
of greater saccharine richness, thu
Jerusalem artichoke, can be employed
in the making of alcohol. 1t is easy
and inexpensive to cultivate; it is
not affected by dryness or dampness;
it has no diseases and it can be har-
vested when desired.
In the most ordinary soil, the writ.
er says, it will produce far more
than Irish potatoes on good soil and
with the best cultivation and the by
product is of considerable value in
the form of ensilage for fattening
cattle and when dried, the stems fur
nish a good fuel. 1t is stated that
the by-products, if economically uti-
lied, will almost pay the expenses
OF culture, leaving the alcohol to bear
only the expense of distillatiCn This
alcohol can be substituted for oil in
domestic and industrial uses and the
writer goes SO far as to say that its
cheap production will enable it in
future to compete with coal
