Fear a DrOuth
in Oregon

From private letter received from
Bandon, Coos County, Ore gon,, it is
learned That only II inches of rain
fell in that district during the month
of November For the month of
October only IL inches was recorded
There is every hope that the month
of December will furnish its share of
moisture ,.
The natives of that section have
lived under the fear that the country
will suffer a drouth In former years
the average rain fall has been about
l20 inches. Lately it has dwindled
down to mere trifle of 90 inches
The inhabitants are not used to this
small amount of rain, and the over
abundance of sunshine is bringing
out freckles Should this drouth
continue it is likely that the slicker
men and umbrella peddlers will have
to go out of business.

Nevada Lands
are i'm Demand

Every newspaper exchange that
comes to this Office chorniclcs the
sale OF some ranch or holdings OF
land in this state. In most instances
the property is secured by outside
parties, who, after looking over the
properties, pay the cash and secure
the bargain. For years the Nevada
farmer was considered the hard luck
story OF the state. The shoe now fits
on the other foot. Nevada lands are
in demand and any piece OF farm land
that can show water right is III de
mand. 1t has taken outside capital
to bring the people to realize the
worth of sagebrush farms. With the
coming of dry farming there will be
a further demand and before another
census is taken it can be predicted
that the population will be doubled
with the farming element alone.

Uncle SANS Pie Factory.

Uncle Sans orders tor foOd |
supplies gives pretty good idea
of the immensity of the job he
has undertaken on the Isthmus of
Panama. He has the largest meat
contract in the world. He has
contracted to take at least l,5OO,-
900 pounds of beef, mutton and
veal from Chicago packers every
year, As matter of fact, he is
taking about 100000 pounds
a year, which reduced to beef
alone would be equivalent to a
herd of $500 steers.
He uses 10000 pounds Of beef,
mutton and veal month, also two
and half tons of chickens every
five days and 1890 dozens of eggs
a day. His eggs cost him as much
as his beef and mutton combined.
He uses up 800 pounds of but
e ter day, six and half tons of
potatoes, seventy-Gve sheep, 1000
pounds of ham and almost ton
of bacon.
All this comes in cold storage
from the States, the most of it in
Uncle Sans own bottoms. In
fact, the only food supplies the
Commissary buys on the Isthmus
are fish and tropical fruits. The
department uses two tons of fresh
fish week.
Uncle Sam brings his milk
pasteurized milk-froa New York
in bottles. He uses 500 gallons
day, and also on the side 4,500
cases of condensed milk every
month.
He brings oysters down from
Far Rockaway-50O gallons
month. The oyster is allowed to
freeze himself for his tropical trip,
and he stays frozen until he is
summoned for service in stew.
The ''grand old man" consumes
something like sixty-five barrels of
-four every day in his bakery here,
turning out $4,000 loaves of bread.
If he is pushed he can run the
total up to 10000 loaves day.
