Aside from the production of cattle, by which Argentina first attracted attention, the country is known as a wheat grower and will continue to in crease in importance in this direction. The extraordinary gaiu made during 1903 01 in crop raising as against ani mal production was not due to any unnatural or pLeuomoual causes. Ex ports of farm products during tbe first six mouths of 1904 increased more than a third over the sume period in 1903, which was considered a very good year. At tbe same time tbe ex ports of animal produots fell off 8 per cent. The total wheat export of Argontiua up to the 1st of October, 1004, was 100,000,000 . bushels, while the total for tbe year 1903 was only 75,000,000, and for tbe preceding year only 23,690,070 bushels. The wheat area is rapidly extending to the west and southwest. Tbe aoreago esti mated by tbe Argeutiua department of agriculture tor tbe past seasou was 9, 275,178, and the estimated production 224,160,608 bushels. This is chiefly in tbe province of Buenos Ayres, Santa Fe and Cotdooa, with smaller amounts in Eutre Bios and in tbe ter ritory of tbe Pampa. Tbe Barnes brothers of Elgiu have purchased 150 head cf goats and will engage in gcat raising. They made their purchaso from gout raisors in Western Oregon aud have a flue herd to start with. The promoters of the new scheme have several hundred aores of timber land north of that city on which the animals will be kept a greater part of tho time, On some of the land the timber has been removed audit is thought (but tbo gouls will grmitly UHsint in clearing tbo luud of undi'igrovvl I) and brush, b'out rais ing Iiiih fii own to be qui o u Iiiijro uri prnllliiblu industry in I lie w hIchi u it ot the Htutu nil (I IhriOH i;o i umiu why lUHiilis us tiond should not be ohluined t'ust iif the disomies.

These firms have for the most part given time and attention to tele phoue calls free of charge. Tbe rural telephone business baa assumed snob proportions that tbe point is reached where an operator is necessary, and the question baa been raised whether it wonld not be mare satisfactory to merge tbe rural lines with those of tbe long distance company and Have all tbe work done through one bffloe and with one set of operators. Argument favoring this consolidation is made strong by tbe claim that charges would be low and tbe service wonld be of tbe best. A neat swindle has been worked on the state of Washington, whereby that state is loser by several thousand dollars. Our sister state has a bounty of $1 on coyotes and $2.60 on wild cats, and a genius named Wright has been raking in the shekels protty fast during tbe past six months. His rec ord has been great daring tbe past six months on coyotes and wildcats in King county, be having presented 450 coyote and wildcat scalps. This led to an investigation and it was learned that tbe scalps were brought on from tbe east and panned off on tbe easy couuty officials. The News Letter published at Hood River celebrates its first anniversary by getting out a flue,20-page illustrat ed edition, setting forth the great advantages of Hood Biver and that valley.

Tbe reoen grinding out of a large number of divorces by tbe courts in this city. while not aooompanied by any partionlar sensational featuers has afforded to all who take an interest in tbe divorce question as a social prob lem an interesting subject for study and reflection. If tbe number of de crees that have just been granted were a matter of everyday occurrence there wonld be a strong sentiment that con ditions bore were terribly and regret tably bad. Tbey are bad enough, it is true, but not qnite so serious as tbe court records of a week would seem to indicate. The practioe of reserv ing for special dates tbe disposition of divoroe cases must be taken into con sideration. If conditions are worse here than conld be desired tbey are still not nearly so bad as in some other locali ties. It is predicted tnat the forth coming report of tbe census burean on marriage and divorce will not reflect any credit on the people of the United States. While the statistics are far from complete, the work ot gather ing them has gone far enough lo con vince the burean that tbe complete showing will reveal a startling con dition of affairs. In some cities the agents of tbe burean aie finding that for certain periods the courts have been divorcing men and women about as rapidly as the preachers unite them in marriage. In nearly all tbe northern cities, it is said, tbe statistics show that the divorce mills have been working overtime. In most seotions of tbe south the marriage vow is still held sacred. Even in the southern cities tbe agents are finding that divorce proceedings are seldom resorted to. Tbe popular demand for remedial legislation 1 is likely to be renewed when tbe complete report is made public, and state legislatures meeting next January may find themselves be sieged by tbe advocates of reform. It is understood that whatever is done will have to be by tbe various states, congress cot being constitutionally authorized to pass , a federal law ou tbe subjeot applicable to all tbe states. There is unfortunately little reason to expect that uniformity in state legislation which is hoped for in order to give real strength and gener al effectiveness to ooriection of tbe di vorce evil. ! AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Baker City Herald. Where the law conflicts nae common sense. in loiiowmg tnat metnoa Judge Wm. Smith this morning solv ed the problem which has been pre- plexing tbe conrts of Baker county since Oscar Jacobsou was arrested charged with moving sheep from the couuty without a permit from tbe stonk iuspeotor, Carl Parker. Tbe circuit court through Judge Smith this morning held that Jacob son's defense, that he had a permit from tin Uuion couuty iuspi'Ctor, was good. Ht diieoted the jury to return a veidiet acquitting Jacbsnn. There seems to be two laws rejrurd iug stock inspection ou tbe statute. With one of tbeso Jaeo'uso.i had com plied. One giro4 the permission to move stock upon tbe certificate of the iuspeotor of tbe couuty iu which tbey are at the time of moving, the other of the inspector of tbe county into wbicb they may bo moved. Judge Smith decided that it was for the protection of the county into which the sheep were being taken that the law was intended, and that the certificate of the Union county inspec tor whoso territory was about to be invaded by Jaoobson's sneep, was the proper one. He held that as a matter of commou sense it would uot protect Baker county stock to have unhealthy sheep kept in the couuty, but that it would injure tho 6 took ot tbe county into whioh they were to be taken, aud hence the jurisdiotiou should rest with the Uuion couuty man. NEW PUZZLE: HOW OLD IS JANE. Denver Times. One of the justices the other day eu conutered a problem that is still puz zling him. Among the wituesses in a case was a woman who bad been call ed to tell of the quarrel whioh led up to a hair-pulling botweeu two of her neighbors in a big tenement bouse. She took the stand and was sworn, , aud counsel for the defeudaut asked ' her name. "Jane Symouds," she auswered. ! "How old are you?" asked the law yer. "Well," respouded the witness, "I am tbe oldest of the family. There ere fifteen of us, aud there is just a year and a half exactly between tbe birthdays. I am just eight times the age of my little sister Eva, who is the yonugest of the family. Yon can figure it out for yourself." Tbe court aud the Inwyets are still figuring.
