PRICES FIFTY YEARS AGO

The present widespread dis
cussion of the hight cost of al
most all commodities, especially
food stuffs, serves to recall the
fact that high as present prices
are, they have been exceeded at
various times in the past, says
the New York Post. In the ear
" part of May 1867, spring wheat
flour sold at wholesale in the
Chicago market at $3.50 to SIS
a barrel and white winter wheat
prices at SIC to $3.50. Retail
prices were about $3.50 to So a
barrel higher. Winter wheat
flour from Nashville, Tenn, sold
at $3.50. During the first ten
days of May 1867, spring wheat
sold in round lots in Chicago at
1915 to So. One car on track
sold at $3.50, and on car in bags
at $40 delivered. A Chicago
miller sold 10000 bushels choice
milling wheat to an interior Hi
nois miller, for which he received
a check for $4,000. Gold at that
time was worth $1.35 to $1.36 in
"greenbacks," which would make
the relative price ON a gold basis
about 1920.
IN November 1864, corn sold
up to $1.141a bushel, and in
May 1867, oats solids at 80 cents
a bushel. Hams were salable at
20 to % cents a pound. Live
hogs at times reached $11.50 to
$13 per hundred pounds, and
dressed hogs In season at $3.50
to $3.50 a hundred pounds.

LONGEST AND NARROWEST
 COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
Chii is More Than One Vast Nitrate
 Mine.
Special to The Bulletin.)


 Washington, Nov. 5.-So obsessed has the world become with thoughts of war and it's weapons that the read CT is prone to think of Chile as noth- ing more than a vast nitrate mine, con- tributing to munitions factories it's millions of tons of this non-Ineta1lic mineral, an essential ingredient of high explosives. The nitrate fields of the South American republic have an area of less than $50 square miles, however, and they are located from 50 to 100 miles from the coast in a deso- late, arid region. The real Chile, the Chile of the Chilieans and not the mining region controlled by British nitrate companies, is described by Bai- ley Willis in a communication to the National Geographic society, a part of which has been issued as the following geography bulletin:
 Chile is the longest and narrowest of all the countries of the world. It stretches 2,700 miles, from Cape Horn to the deserts of Atacama, within the tropics. It's width is rarely more than Andean crest. If we were to place it upon similar stretch of coast in North America it would cover Lower California, California, Oregon, Wahs- ington and British Columbia to the St. Elias district of Alaska.
 Chile is divided into three sections by the mural features of the Pacific slope of the Andes. The northern is hat of the semi-arid and desert re- zion, which reaches from Peru south ward to Valparaiso. It is an utter des- ert in the north and becomes less in hospitable toward the south. It is trav- ersed from the Andes to the coast by short, deep valleys. separated by high spurs of the mountains, and communi- cation from north to south has always been exceedingly difficult. Neverthe- less the Chilean engineers have found a route through which to extend the state railway which will link Santiago with the territories conquered from Peru.

Valparaiso to the island of Chiloe, a

Valparaiso to the island of Chiloe, a distance of 600 miles, is the heart of Chile, the only portion of the country which can support a sufficient pOula- tion to constitute a nation. The area is not large (about as extensive as the state of Colorado), and much of it is occupied by mountain ranges of great heights and ruggedness. But between the Andes and the coast range there extends in this section a valley similar to that of California, which is the seat of the Chilean people. Many rivers rising in the Andes descend to it and meander more or less directly west ward through the coast range of the Pacific; but the intervening divides are nowhere of such attitude as to in terrupt the continuity of the great valley which extends from north to south. Santiago is situated at the northern end, and flourishing cities are railway that connectes the capital with Puerto Montt.
 '"The climate as we go from north to south becomes ever more humid, and we pass from the irrigated lands about Santiago to the dense forest swaInps of the southern portion of the district. While much of the land has been clear ed or is in the process of clearing, in a state which reminds one of our own Pacific coast thirty years ago, other areas remain impenetrable forests, still unexplored after nearly 400 years of occupation Of the country.
 ''The third section of Chile, exterd- ing southward from Puerto Montt to Cape Horn, is like our southern Ala ska coast-a stretch of islands, of penin- sulas broken by intricate channels and profound fjords that penetrate far into the land. Tumultuous rivers descend from the Andes and debouch into the

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-H You Know Dr.
 D Edwards Olive Tablets |,

The secret of keeping young is to feel young-to do this you must watch your liver and bowels-there's no need of having a sallow complexion-dark rings under your eyes-pimples-a bil- ious look in your face-dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver.
 Dr. Edwards, we1l-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com pound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years.
 pr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub. stitute for calomel, are gentle in their action, yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be en- joyed by everyone, by toning up the liver and clearing the system of impurities.
 You will know Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets by their olive color. 10c and 25c per box. All druggists.

 Santiago is the chief city of Chile but not in the same degree as Buenoa Aires is of the Argentine Republic Buenos Aires has become almost the republic itself, in the sense that Paris is France; but Santiago is only the capital of the country, which has otf- CT cities that may compare with it fn local importance. Santiago contrasts with Buenos Aires as the conservative capital of a small country with the metropolis of the continent You feel in the Chilean capital the conservative character of the people; in Buenoa Aires the liberal spirit of the world city.
 "The modern Chileans are descend ants of warning Spanish invaders mingled with a warlike Indian race, the Araucanians. They are without question the most independent, the boldest, the most aggressive of South American peoples.
