JAPANESE CAN
NEVER CATCH up
Baron Oura, Japan's Minister OF Agri-
culture, Is Amazed at Wall
Street.

Baron Oura, minister of agriculture
and commerce, who spent few days
in New York on his way home from
the Anglo-Japanese exhibition in Lon
don, paid a visit to Wall street and
came back amazed.
"There is no need for the Americans
to be jealous of the Japanese, CONNER
cially. The Japanese merchant can
never catch up with the Americans. In
matters of finance it seems to me that
you have nothing to fear from any ma
tion in the world.
Japanese feeling toward America is
almost affectionate. War will never
come unless America starts it"

Central Idaho Farms Pay Big Return

Central Idaho Farms Pay Big Returns.
One of the farmers af Nez Perez
county, in north central Idaho, makes
the sworn statement that during the
past nine years 40 acres of his land,
near Nez Perez, has returned a gross
income from grain and hay of $3.50.
The net returns from the 40 acres were
about $4,000, or more than SIG an acre
for nine years. This man has also com
piled figures showing the present use
of the 100000 acres of land in the i'm
mediate district, district which will
soon be served by the Idaho & Nez
Perez railway line, which is partially
owned by the farmers of that section.
All but very small amount of the
100000 acres is being farmer by its
owners, and the amount in crop for this
year is placed at $4,000 acres. One-third
of this amount is sown to wheat,

WASHINGTON.
Washington's Fish Story.

The fishing industries of Washington
are among the important ones of the
state, according to reports given by one
Of the state officials. The value of the
fisheries output for 1909 was more than
$13, $685. 900. The figures may be better
appreciated by comparing them with
the value of the grain output of the
state for the same year, the latter being
estimated at $40,557,75o. The most val
liable fish caught is salmon, though
many varieties of cod, halibut, salmon
trout, perch, sole, founders, smelts, her
ring, sardines, oysters, clans, crabs and
shrimp are caught from the salt waters
of Washington. The chief fresh-water
fish of the state are sturgeon, trout,
perch, black bass and whitefsh. Salmon
and halibut are shipped fresh to all
parts of the United States, but the
greater part of the commercial catch
of fish in Washington waters finds its
way to the cannery or the local market
The handling of smelts, herring and
shell fish is in it's infancy in Washing
ton, but these industries have great
possibilities. Especially is the propa
cation of eastern and native oysters be-
coming an important industry. Some of
the oyster farms are paying as much
as 81 900 an acre, and the state has
recently sold thousands of acres of sub
merged lands to be used for this pur-
pose.
Possibilities of the Orchard.
What is said to be the record price
FOR so large an area is the recent sale
Of 140-acre orchard in the Touchet
valley, in southeastern Washington, for
the sum of $4,000. This orchard is
known as one Of the best commercial
orchards in the northwest, it having
gained many PRICES at apple exhibits
and its product commands the highest
market price at Liverpool. The orchard
first came into prominence four years
ago, when it produced its first larg,
crop. During the three years since, the
gross receipts from the 100 acres il
bearing have been more than 100000
Two of the three buyers of the larg'
orchard are pioneer wheat farmers O.
