LEASED wibjs TELEGRAPH REPORT it . V2 LAND GRABBERS BUSY IN MEXICO. Prizes secured in Mexico in the mad scramble for bargains which has taken place during the depression caused by the scat tered rebellion have included some for Chicago men, and syndi cates who have emulated the British, Dutch and Germans in buy ing when most people were afraid to buy. One of the largest rubber and coffee properties in the world, it is said, has been acquired by the San Jose syndicate of Chica go, and that 2,000,000 acres of hardwood timber has been pur chase by other interests, all at prices which will be multiplied many times by expected signs of the strong hand of protection to American interest, to which the administration is said to be pledged. The magnitude and completeness of the big coffee and rubber estate among the hills of Chipas is a reminder of a feudal estate in Spain. "When one imagines an orchard under one management of two million trees, each to be sprayed and pruned, one gets the magni tude of the thing," says a report. "Nowhere in the Far East, where rubber has been planted ex tensively is there anything like it, a forest of a million coffee trees and another million Castilloa rubber trees in a region where that number will produce two million pounds of rubber every year." It is paid the administration village s electric lighted and con nected by telephone and telegraph with the rubber and coffee markets of the world. The hardwood lnnds of the empire of 2,000,000 acres are said to have a potential value when lubor is applied of the traditional "king's ransom," with the ruin?, of Aztec cities thrown in for good measure. Mining companies have seized upon the anxiety of the timid owners of Mexico property to extend their holdings, and when the last exaggerated report of "revolution" is printed it is said that some of the big ranches will be found to include some thou sand more acres than before the anti-Madero disturbance commenced. SUGAR SUrPLY AND CONSUMPTION. Sugar consumption in the United States in the calendar year 1911 exceeded that of any earlier year. . The total quantity consumed in continental United States was, according to the latest estimate of the bureau of statistics, de partment of commerce and lalwr, 7670 million pounds, or an aver age of 81.78 pounds per capita, against the former high record of 81.19 pounds per capita in the fiscal year 1907. These figures are official so far as relates to the quantity brqught into continental United States during the calendar year from Ilawaiia, Porto Rico, the Philippines and from foreign countries. To this the bureau has added the latest estimates of sugar pro duced in the country during 1911, and by subtracting the offi cial figures of exports from the grand total of imports and do mestic production, obtain a total of 7G70 million pounds, or prac tically 82 pounds per capita, as the indicated consumption of the calendar year 1911. Ten years ago, in the fiscal year 1901, the indicated consump tion was 5 W billion pounds, or 72 pounds per capita; twenty years ago, in 1891, 3 billion pounds ,or 61 pounds per capita; thirty years ago, in 1881, 2 billion pounds, or 43 pounds per capita, and forty years ago, in 1871, 1 billion pounds, or 3614 pounds per capita. This very large total consumption of sugar in the country in 1911 accompanied an unusually heavy production, both in conti nental United States and its sugar producing islands, Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines. The quantity brought from Hawaii, Torto Rico and the Phil ippines in 1911 exceeded in each case that of any earlier year, and the estimated production of beet sugar in the country in 1911 was the largest on record, though that of cane sugar was slightly below the average of recent years. Whllo the quantity of sugar imported from foreign countries in 1911 fell somewhat below the figures of 1910, the aggregate of the production in continental United States, production in the non-contiguous territories, and imports from foreign countries exceeds that of any earlier year, while the quantity exported was smaller than in the immediately precceding year. The import valuation of the sugar brought from foreign coun tries in 1911 was, speaking in round terms, 90 million dollars; from the non-contiguous territories, 78 million, and the estimated value of that produced in continental United States, 90 million dollars. The bureau of statistics estimates the duty paid on sugar im ported from foreign countries in 1911 at GO million dollars. One striking fact which comes to the surface in study of sugar consumption in the United States is found in a comparison of production and growth in production of cano and of beet sugar re spectively. While exact figures of domestic production in 1911 have not yet been completed, tho latest and best available estimate puts the production of beet sugar at 1105 million pounds and that of cane sugur at 700 million pounds, the production of beet sugar thus exceeding that of nine by more than 50 per cent. Prior to 1907 the production of beet sugar was never as great as that of cano sugar. A Good Spring Medicine Is Found in Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier and tonic that for more than a third of a century has been taken as needed in thousands and thousands of homes by every member of the family. Its wonderful results in cleansing tie system of all humors, curing scrofula and eczema, overcoming that tired feeling, creating appetite, giving strength and animation, make it the best. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the people's medicine agreeable, effective and economical. Get it today.

IIVWIIW VI Fort Klamath Is to have a fine gar age. Jackson county grangers are bit terly opposed to the single tax. Astoria's postofflce shows a gain of nearly $3,000 over the previous year. Klamath county taxpayers have turned over to the sheriff $160,000 this year. A Portland policeman yesterday confessed to stealing a revolver, and his Btar was taken from him. J. P. Turndell, a prisoner at Kelly Butte, Portland, was shot In the leg by a guard yesterday when he at tempted to escape. Plans for the department of mines building at O. A. C. have been com pleted and contracts let. The total coBt will he about $30,000. Ole Erlckson, who arrived from Sweden only two weeks ago, was killed by a slide of earth in tho res ervoir at Modford Tuesday. Portland chamber of commerce and commercial club have entered Into closer relations that will probably result in their ultimate combination. The trout season opened Monday, but the horse editor has no tangible evi dence of it so far. What's the matter with the piscatorial fraternity remem bering the eplstolnry bunch? Howard Collins, of Baker county, was Saturday sentenced to from 1 to 10 years In the pen for shooting a couple of Jnps neither of whom was sorlouBly Injured. a The North Pole mine, In Baker coun ty, is making the mining fraternity sit np and take notice. It has 20 Htamim dropping nnd will soon havo 30, and on ore worth $100 a ton. Klamath FallB is excited over the arrest of Cleorge L. Mcl.nno In con nection with cattle rustling. He Is said to have confessed and Implicat ed some prominent men. o X-RAYS AND SMILES. The next legislature should pass a law compelling railroads to have their passenger trains on time, except when delays are caused by accidents. This thing of robbing the public of hours of time Is not only a nuisance, It is a crime. One has business In Portlnnd, arranges to attend to It at certain hours, and then Is held up because of the Incompetence of traffic manag ers. Joe Day, the Portland detective, has been put on the carpet for charging a man $2.50 for a flute which had been stolen from one Homer Brnlthwalto. If Homer tortured notes out of the blamed thing Joe should be sent up for life for returning It at all. The play "Miss Dudelsaek," now on tho stage In Portland It is a misnom er. It should he "Hoodie Sack," for It Is a cold clnch, getting something for nothing. The annual feast of the passion, so generally observed by the Jews began last night, and lasts eight days. Strange how many religious ceremon ies and events correspond with the old heathen felebiallon of Cetera t The trial of the beef packers cost the government $100,000, and the pack- jers $,".00,000. The people, of course I pay the first bill, and (he packers will i collect their expenses from the same filks. The man who eats pays all the bills. - V'tli the nominating pri.ivi,' s .! hand, It will be noted that both Laferty and llawlcy suddenly became con scious of the necessity of forfeiting the 9. P. railroad grant. That bluff should relegate both of them to the discard. The Oregon Electric should change Its time card and adopt one It can gel Its trains through on. Klther that oi be abated as a public nuisance. MINISTERS REFUSE TO MARRY THEM The Salem Ministerial Association Monday discussed the marriage of di vorced persons, and, as a result, passed the following resolutions: "Whereas, EaBy divorce and easy re marriage are crying evils of our time and evils which we, as ministers, are called upon to face; and "Whereas, It seems advisable to have some common rule of action in dealing with these cases, therefore be It "Resolved, That we seek to be as careful as we may and not marry conples when It Is probable a lifelong union will not result. ''Resolved, That we regard It as a matter of ministerial courtesy to re fuse to marry those whom we know other pastors, for sufficient reason, have refused to marry. "Resolved, That we refuse to re marry during the lifetime of the other party any one known by us to have been divorced for Infidelity, except that we will re-marry divorced people who seek to be re-united. ' "ReBolved, That we ask the next leg islature to pass a law requiring phys ical examination by a competent an thorlty of all candidates for matri mony nnd denying license to all who are found unfit "Resolved, That we ask the next leg lidature to enact a marriage license law requiring the contracting parties to swear to their age, whether or not they are divorced nnd If divorced, the reason therefor, and such other data ns may be found essential." ;,Jm I FOR QUICK EASTER SELLING TVF.
