Accoiding to the report of tli Interstate Commerce Commission for the year ending June 30, 1900 the number of persons employed on railroads in the United States June 30, 1900, was 923,925, an in crease for Ilk year of 54,466. The operating expenses are shown to have been $856,968,999, an in crease ot $38,995,82.?. Railroad statistics are a good criterion by which to estimate the financial condition of the country. Rail roads cannot make financial gams unless the commercial interests of the country are in a prosperous condition, thereby necessitating great freight and passenger traffic The number of passengers carried during the year, in excess of the number carried the preceding year was 22, 107,827. Therefore- just 22.107.S27 more people in the United States were, financially, able to travel than during the precediug year. The gross earnings of the railroads were in excess of the gross earnings of the previous year, $63,284,497, therefore the people of this country had just that much more money to spend in tne in terest of business and pleasure, with the railroads. The railroads are dependent for their increased profits upon the business conditions of the country. Therefore if the railroads are making money through freight and passenger service, the business interests of the country must of necessity be in a pros perous condition; and, if the business interests of tho country are prosperous, the masses of the people are prosperous, or else there is nothing under the blue canopy of heaven that will make the masses of the people prosperous No business of whatsoever mag nitude can flourish unless it has the patrorage of the people at large, and unless the people at large are prosperous and making money they cannot patronize manufactur ing establishments and railroads. STOCK AND FARM. The total rain fall in Southern Oregon, for the month of June was 2 inches. Ten thousand pounds of woo was recently sold at Pendleton Oregon for iz4 and 13 cents. Ed Rush commenced threshing in Umatilla county June 28. The threshing season did not open in that county last year until August 3 It is estimated that the honey crop in and about Ashland will be short this year. Cattle with spectacles are to be seen on the Russian stenpes. The steppes arc covered with snow more than six months of the year, The cows subsist on the tufts of grass which crop above the snow and the rays of the sun on the snow are so dazzling as to cause blindness. To obviate this calamity it occurred to a kind hearted man to protect the cow's eyes in the same way as those of human beings, and he manufactured smoke colored spec tacles which could be safely worn by cattle. These spectacles were a great success and are now worn by upwards of 40, 000 head of cattle, who no longer suffer from the snow blindness which once caused such suffering among them.- Collier's Weeklv. MINING NOTES. Bryan's platform adopted by the democrats, at the Kansas City con vention July 5, 1900, we, read: "We are in favor of extending the reoublic's influence among the nations, but believe that influence should be extended, not by force and violence, but through the per suasive power of a high and honorable example." How about the clamor set up by the promoters of the above clipping three years ago with reference to Spain? Did Bryau and his following believe then as they set forth now, in the Kansas City platlorm? Wiry, even Bryan, who is, as a matter of fact, the whole Kansas City show, even plucked up moral courage enough to go to war as a colonel. What high and honorable example has Bryan ever set forth anyway? It is announced upon good au thority that The Booth-Kelly Lum ber Co., have raised the wages of common laborers at the Saginaw mills 15 per cent the last week. And still there is about 334 per cent of the common laborer of this country who forget that four and six years ago, wages were being decreased at the rale of from 10 to 15 per cent every few months, and they still cry for 16 to 1 Bryanism. A week ago the Nugget made .mention of the necessity of a c reamery in this vicinity. The mention was made with the view of inTteresting every conservative busi ness man and farmer in the subjec . ItP'is worthy of consideration and ,vi?i effort should be put on foot to secure one. Col. Bryan has decided to stay at home at least part of the time, dur ing the presidential campaign. Like the mythical parrot be has learned that he "talks too d much" for his own good. When you sep "Gimblet" please don't ask him to "cheese" it. BOHliMIA Another rich strike is reported 11 the Helena mine. A rich strike of free gold was made last week in the Golden Eagle Mining Co's , mine, which promises to equal anything yet un covered in camp. The Helena Mining Co., con template extensive external im provements this season, with the iew of getting the property in proper shape to continue work winter and summer without the usual shut down which has hereto fore been experienced in Bohemia, owing entirely to inadequate ex ternal facilities. A saw mill will be put in operation and lumber sawed with the view of building necessary buildings, to store pro visions, etc. Substantial tunnel houses will be erected and by fall the Helena will be thoroughly equipped in every sense of the word. Up to the present time little activity outside of the usual pros pect and assessment work: has marked the year for Bohemia; but now new activity; which promises to make the remainder of the season one of the best in the history of the camp, is in evidence. Prospectors atrd responsible mining men are now in and on their way to the diggin's, general improvement everywhere in camp is noticeable, in the matter of deuelopment work, companies are letting shifts and in another week or two the district will be as lively as an ant hill. BASE HAM,. Hmv Nohemia Plavcd Ball With the Ramblers ami Sent 'cm Rambling. The Bohemia and Rambler ball teams played nine innings on the Stoufler grounds Sunday afternoon The Bohemians are composed of the younger ball enthusiasts of this city, and they are now taking on ball in good shape and are begin nine to play a snappy game The Ramblers were composed of a pick up nine composed, in most part of the old team of two seasons and more ago. While at one tune the team of which the Ramblers arc a remanent, was considered a crack country town team, it was demonstrated that without practice and organization, base ball, like everything else is a failure." In fact it was an off day for the Ramblers, although it can be said to their credit, after they got steaddied down they greatly improved, to the extent that they white-washed the Bohemias in the sixth and eighth innings and came within one of it in the fifth. them it is also fair QTfYP Ii1 Dlviwa Always a Fill Stock.
