AHEAD IN ONE PARTICULAR
United States Makes the Best School
Showing Of Any Country In
the World.

The United States leads in the per.
centage of population enrolled in
schools. Switzerland follows, the fig
ures being 1877 and 1876 respectively.
But we, along with Germany and the
rest, are left far behind in other par
ticulars. The little republic in the
Alps boasts 178 university students
per 10000 population to 81 in France,
n in Italy and 20 in this country. 1t
should be pointed out, however, that
in little country like Switzerland
with several important universities,
the presence of foreign students
counts for much more than elsewhere.
We are accustomed to think that,
while we haven't yet produced many
classics, we print-and read-more
newspapers than any other nation,
and it seems to be true that in abso-
lutte totals of issues of periodicals we
surpass them all, our 1890 a year
being more than twice the 9S77 of
France, our nearest rival. But in num-
Der of newspapers per million of popu-
lation, our 260 is outdone by the 275
of Switzerland and almost equaled by
the PSI of France. Our showing in
books published per 100000 population
is pitiful or fortunate according to
ones way of looking at the modern
flood of literature. Denmark, with
1876, and Switzerland, with 116, are at
the top of the list, while the United
States, with ten, and Russia, with six
are at the bottom. The surprising
thing is that Germany is at the head
in none Of these ategories.-Oper

KANSAS CITY. Dec. 13, 1912.- Cattle received here this week 48,-
 100, last week 46,S00, same week last year 45,500. The supply ran largely to short fed steers of fair to good finish, and as that kind has been coming freely for two weeks or more, prices have weakened 10 to 25 cents, Butcher grades held up almost steady, and stock and feeding cattle met good demand, and sold at practically steady prices all week. Half a load of prime Christmas beeves sold at $1110 here this week, and other good to choice steers brought 5000 to $10.50, bulk of the short fed steers $700 to $9.00. The steers selling between $7.5O and $9 30 were hit hardest, salesmen claim. ing they had to take 40 to 50 cents below ten days ago on some of them. At the same time, country buyers paid $7 40 to $7.70 for good feeders, which was 10 to 15 cents above killers bids on the same cattle Best veals reached 5000, and bulls sold largely at $500 to $500. The quarantine run has embraced wide variety, from meal fed steers at $6 15 to $7 40 down to Louisianas at $3.50 to $500. The quarantine market held about steady this week, except for de- cline of 10 cents yesterday. Several shipments of western range cattle were here, including feeders at

Rca d bIe items from the Cattle Ranges
 of Arizona.


 Douglas International: Within che next three weeks another rush of shipping cattle will be made, according to Dr. Hart, veterinary surgeon for the United States. Sew eral carloads of cattle were received here Wednesday and dipped and shipped to market. Several cattle men combined lots for this ship ment. pr. Hart will leave shortly for Nogales to inspect ten or more trainloads, having 25 cars to the train, which will be crossed at that point and at Sasabe and Yuma, between now and December 23.
 Arizona Republican,: Another big real estate deal was turned yes terday in which George Day, who last week sold his interest in the property upon which the Realty Securities building is to be erected, figured as prominently as in the previous deal. Having disposed of some realty holdings in the city of Phoenix he is by no means satisfied to stay out of Arizona investments, so yesterday he closed for $40,000 with Levi Young for half interest in his extensive cattle ranges and ranches in the mountains. The ranges are to be stocked with larger herds of finer cattle, which will be fattened for market in the Salt River valley from the plenteous alfalfa produced here and shipped to the eastern markets. Several thousand head of cattle will be brought here for that purpose The mountain ranges are situated be- tween six and eight thousand feet above the sea level and offer splen- did summer ranges for the cattle, while in the winter they can be brought down into the lowlands and prepared for markets. These ranges are among the best in the state.
 Arizona Gazette: Those who wear the broadest smiles these days are cattlemen who have just sold some stock or have stock to sell For prime beet steers are sell ing at $6.50 to $6.S5 100 pounds while it is a pretty poor sort of a COW that won't bring $5. There is certainly no oversupply oi cattle" said George Hoskings, the San Diego buyer, the other day "On the contrary, the supply of fat cattle is extremely limited. There isn't a beef famine, or anything like that, but it is certainly scarce aad is bringing prices which wt never dreamed of few years ago Early in the season it was predicted that fat steers would go to sever cents a pound. They haven't gone that high yet, but no one witt prime steers to sell Is having any trouble in disposing of them at si1 and half cents. All indication are that there will be more cattl, for sale in January and February than there are now.

HARVESTING OF APPLES
DELAYED BY RAINS

The harvest of the apple crop has
been greatly delayed by the rains
of the past week, and little progress
mas been made during that time. The
fruit had been largely shipped before
the rain interfered, nearly 100 cars
having already gone forward, though
it is estimated that there are still
fifteen cars to ship OF this un-
shipped fruit part is in the ware
house but approximately ten car
loads are still on the trees waiting
dry weather for picking. This un-
picked fruit is nearly all of the Ben
Davis and Winesap varieties, the
Spitzenbergs and Newtowns having
all been disposed Of.
The heavy rains caused some loss
through apples falling to the ground,
though the most of these can be
saved as the soft earth protected
them.
Returns on the cars sent to the
east where the markets were flood
ed with eastern grown apples were
not very satisfactory, but those cars
that went to southern markets have
made more substantial returns.
Two cars are now on the siding at
the packing houses being loaded for
shipment to San Francisco. One of
these, a car of Ben Davis, was badly
damaged Friday night by having the
boxes thrown from the partly packed
tiers and many of them broken
open and the fruit bruised when
freight train backed into it. The
apples were being repacked yester-
day. and the railroad will be asked
to make good the damage.
Many of the Winesaps will be
sent east for shipment to the Euro
pean markets, as this variety and
the Newtown are favorites there
and the bulk of the Rogue crop of
the two crosses the water to COM
mand the top prices in the foreign
trade

WILL DREDGE ON EAST
FORM ILLINOIS RIVER.

Options upon 1900 acres of the
rich placer ground of the east fork
OF the Illinois river have been taken
by the California Mining company.
and developments of magnitude are
contemplated, among them being
the installation of giant dredges TO
get the gold from the level lying
benches.
Judge Carol of Tacoma has been
managing the big deal, and has just
closed the contracts that put the
company in control of some of the
most promising pay dirt in the rich
Illinois valley country, and system
attic prospecting of the optioned ter
ritory will proceed at once
The acreage optioned lies in town
ship 40 south, and Is 1 l-2 miles
northeast OF Waldo, and includes
some of the best agricultural ranches
In the valley, among them being
those of II. NJ, Pfefferly, d. S.
Shaffer, W. o, Kohler and c. A. Her
vey. The options run for one year,
when the first payment will be due,
"a small advance payment having
been made at the time of the sign
ing of the option. The prices agreed
upon are in all cases liberal, and the
original owners have the right to re-
main in possession OF and farm the
lands during the current year.
The mining company has also
made mineral locations upon much
of the o. & c. railroad lands In the
same township, and will employ a
large force in making exhaustive
tests before the dredges are INSTALL
ed. Prospecting will be prosecuted
by means of drills and by the sinking
of shafts.
The California Mining Co. has the
backing of strong financial interests
in the southern state, and its advent
into Josephine county will assist ma
terially In building up the mining In
dustry.

EXHAUSTION OF THE SOIL.
The National Dairy SHOW.

lbAs ~ H. 4 lhkAVn vi w lNAOu-
sin Agricultural College, in speaking
Oh Soil Exhaustion, made very in
teresting statement regarding the
selling of dairy products from
the farm as compared with selling
the grain productions directly of the
farm Here is what he says:
There is a great difference in the
amount of soil fertility removed from
the farm by selling crops as COM
pared with the selling of cream and
butter. The constituents OF the soil
that become most easily exhausted
by farming operations are the nj
trogen, the phosphorlc acids and the
potash. These each have a market
value per pound and can be bought
in commercial fertilizers. They are
also contained in farm manure.
"An analysis of different crops and
OF milk, butter and cheese will show
much OF these various constituents
are removed from the farm when
certain quantity OF these products Is
said For instance. by using the
same prices per pound for the fol-
lowing crops, etc, we find that the
fertilizing constituents taken from
the soil when one ton OF hay is sold
from the farm have a value Of S4.34,
one ton Of corn $3.50, one ton of
wheat $500, one ton of milk $2.1T
one ton Of skimmllk $2,31, one ton
of butter ~ cents, one ton OF whey
S4 cents, and one ton OF cheese
Sab The value Of each ton Of
these different products is well
known. For instance, the ton Of hay'
may be sold for 500, while the ton
Of butter is worth $500 and a ton Of
cheese $500. These figures show.
however, that If the crops raised on
the farm are fed to the COWS and
either cream or butter only is sold.
then for every $500 worth OF but
ter only so cents worth Of fertility is
drawn from the farm"
In encouraging the farmers to en-
gage in daIrying. Professor Earring
ton says
"Dairying keeps up the fertility
Of the soil as already explained.
"SkimmIlk Is very valuable to the
farmer not only for the reasons Civ
en- but because It is profitable for a

CANDIDATES FOR CITY
OFFICES TALKED OF


The coming city election now be-
gins to disturb the rest of the Grants
Pass population, and many candi-
dates are being talked for the elec-
tion to be held on November 4th.
The socialists were early in the
game with a complete ticket NOM
mated in a party convention a week
ago. The only other candidate who
has yet qualified is S. W. Phillips as
nominee to succeed himself as coun-
Gilman from the Second ward, he
having filed petition with the re-
quired number of signatures with
the city auditor Saturday morning.
Mr.. Phillips is now serving on the
council, having been recently elect
ed to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Councilman Mclean.
Two councilmen are to be elected
from this ward next month, and 9TH
er names mentioned for the honor
are A. X. Hamilton and VIM. Atch-
ison. Mr. Wolfersberger who is
now serving, has stated that he
would not be candidate to succeed
himself.
For councilman from the First
ward, Councilman Stricken is much
talked of as his own successor, and
others mentioned are p B. Herman,
l.. F. Currier and F NJ South.
The term of Councilman Daniels
expires in the Third ward and prom
inently mentioned as his successors
are Chas. Burkhalter and A. A.
Porter.
Councilman Herzinger retires in
the Fourth ward, and as he will
likely enter the lists to succeed May
or Smith he will not seek the alder
manic toga again Mr.. Smith will
probably be a candidate to succeed
himself, and beside Mr.. Herzinger
the names heard most often in CON
nection with the office Of c. l., Ho-
bart. president of the Commercial
club, and DR.. Ed. ~ Bywater The
latter has announced that he would
not allow the use of his name, how
ever.
NJ. L. Opdyke, former auditor and
police judge, may contest the han /
ling of the city funds next year with .
Treasurer Jester, the latter having
been nominated by the socialists to
succeed himself
With the coming in again of the .
saloons the people are deeply CON /
cerned in the personnel Of the coun- /
ell. and the election will grow In in /
terest as the day approaches
A feature that adds much spice to .
the municipal contest is the fact
that the women will be qualified /
electors, and the first election in the .
state in which they can exercise their /
right of franchise will be here
There seems now no question Of /
the carrying of the equal suffrage
amendment at the general election
and the new law can become efec-
tive in time for our election. The
statute provides that the county .
shall make official count Of the re-
turns within ten days after the ele'-
tion. and that the state shall make
its canvass within twenty days and
the governor must then within th'r-
ty DAYS issue a proclamation pu-
ting the amendment into effect i
is not likely that the limit OF time
will be accepted in any event ana
as the governor certainly will not
delay. the new law should be in
force by the 25th or the 26'h inst
