Althouifh one of the great sources of upply. the South African mines, wus virtually cutoff, th world' total pro duction of gold In 1901 wa consider ably greater than in 1900, when the ag gregate amount wa two hundred arid luty-six million dollars. Th United State led tb Increase with a gain of three or four million dollars, the total output for 10Q1 being between eighty- one ana eighty-two million dollars. Colorado continues at the head of the gold-producing state. How much was lost through tb in activity of tb South African wines may be Inferred from th fact that before tlie Boor war broke out, these mine pro duced, 1808, eventy-cight million dollar. In 1001 their production waa only four or five millions, although com petent authorltiea estimate that, In full operation, they could have produced one nundred million dollar. According to the "Engineering and Mining Journal," not more than one- quarter of the gold annually produced goes to increase the monetary stock of world. The larger part 1 employed in the arts and for other purposes aside from the manufacture of coin and the accumulation of bank reserves. Among commercial countries it is estimated that at present the United States and France contain the greatt accumula tions of gold. There baa been a notable hoarding of gold in France for aome years paat. During 1901 there was a reversal of the situation as to the compilative value of Imports and export of gold in thia country. In 1000 the import ex ceeded the exports by between nine and ton millions; in 1001 the export ex ceeded the import by two million seven hundred and ninety thousand dollars. But In 1001 the total of .both exports and imports waa only pne hundred and two million dollars againvt one hundred and seventeen million dollar In 1000. The export of gold in in 1001 went mainly to France and Germany, and relatively little to Great Britain. The production of silver in the United States in 1901 was practically the same as in 1900, when the total amounted to fifty-nine million five hundred thouaand ounce. But there waa a marked de crease in the quantity smelted and re fined from imported ore. Over the world at large, the production of ailver ahowed aome (ailing off. Tueadey waa tbe most exciting day at the United States land office in Oregon City, io many month. Tbe reason therefor waa the throwing open to settlement of township 8, range 10 west. Nearly 70 people, eager to file upon land surrounded tbe door of tb office at 0 In the morning, and when the hour for opening arrived there waa a ru.h to be the first to file. The township ia in the Siletx Reservation, near Kernville. fiectlona 18, 17, 18, 19 and 20 were sur veyed in August, 1802, and were thrown open for settlement September 20, 1805. Twenty nine homestead filings were allowed today, involving about 4040 seres, and all of the homestead are in sections 81, 82, 33 and 34. Tbe total acreage in th land thrown open today U 23,878.71. In addition to the 29 filing allowed, 17 filing were made which are in conflict, and wherever theae con flicts occur, tbe fortunate homesteader i yet to be determined Any squatter in the aectiou, or any one who haa im provement on, or who is living on the land, haa a preference right, and haa been allowed by the register and re ceiver until next Monday to fiil affidavit to prove hi allegation and claim.

Beletf r Reciprocity, Which T First they called it releif. Now they call It reciprocity. Which is it, as a matter of fact? If there be destitution and suffering in Cuba that can only be ..iiimi hv ft monev trilt. let It be 80 nmWainnd. and let money be given out right and placed where it will do tbe moat good. Above all, It snomu reacn iho nedv and the distressed, and no nart of it ahould go to the enrichment of a trust or to tbe guaranteeing oi proms ti forelenera who bave invested in Cuban augar and tobacco lands. In that case a reduction of duties would be toe wromr wav. and an outright donation would be the right way. But if it is proposed to attack the JJmgley tartn nlmduio for tbe purpoee of selling more of our good to and taking more of her producta from Cuba, that is another and different Droooaition. First it ia a.ked. will reciprocity rejeive Cuban Hir..v If so. whoae distress? It certainly will not help the treasurery ot th new reoublic. Ou the contrary, it will greatly diminish the revenue of a government which etart out wim an empty treasury and which depends h..ii ii .win cnatoma receipts for it -r . revenues. Will the native planter prom to the extent of the reduction tu tne A.itiua m. tl surar and tobacco which i. .hina to the United States? Will not the augar trust and the tooaoco mnnnnnliea share to aome extent iu" the benefits of Buch reduction aud pay lower ...iir? TTnrlnuhtedlv thev will cet a t II.. i substantial part of the benefit. Many people beleive they will get theni all. Then comes the plain, practical com mercial question whether a scheme of reciprocity consessione will prove advan tagooua to the general body of producers ol the United States, or whether it will not work to tbe profit of aome and the lose of other. Will it pay us to cripple our own sugar and tobacco industries in order that somebody else may eell more of their products to Cuba? That is a fair question. It involves considerations that must be taken carefully into account while we are rigging up a reciprocity scheme. Ol the two plans, releifand reciprocity tbo American people would undoubtedly prefer the former, that la, provided relief is really needed in Cuba and I called for at our hands. If we must "do some thing for Cuba "let us choose the least mischievous and most practical method of donation. That method we can fol low with our eye wide open. We (hall b experimenting and dealing in th dark If we try reciprocity. from all over the country cornea tbt report of a failure in th prune crop. It is estimated that in thia county there will not be more than a fourth of a crop, possibly not more than fifth. This I Indeed, a very serious condition of affairs. Robert Johnson, manager of the big orchard of the Benton County Prune Co., saya that their orchard produced a many prune last year aa the whole of Benton county will product thia year. Along about the latter part of nest month prunes generally drop from the trees to some extent and with the email setting of fruit tbla season if they ahould drop to any degree the output will be most seriously affected. However, every thing iudicates that the prune that are produced will be unusually large, and it Is hoped that the price will be aa large as the crop ia small. Corvallie Gazette. Keaaey Rotes.
