FEBRUARY 10, 1904 OUR MERCHANT MARINES 1 . uver a Hundred years ago in 1800, when the total population of the United States was 5,308, 453, there were 609,921 tons cf Aineriban ships engaged iu foreign trade and 301,919 tons engaged in domestic trade. In that year, 1800, we imported foreign goods to the value of $91, 252,708 and exported stuff to tlie value of $70,971,780, making the total foieign trade amount to $162,224,643. In 1900, when the popultaion had grown to 76,303,367, or fif teen times more than in 1800, our merchant marine engaged in foroign trade had iucreased to 820,694 tous, a gain of but 56,773 tons in 100 years. The freieht which foreign bottoms received for doing trans portation to and from the Uni ted States is placed at $200,000 000 annually, Thero were built in the Uni ted Stales in 1800, 106,261 tons of shipping and after a hundred years, in 1900, there were built 393,790 tons of shipping built to carry the American flag on the high seas, although during the century our population had increased fifteen fold, our wealth from $1,630,000,000 to $94,300, 000,000, and the per capita wealth from $300 to $1,235. During the same century our foreign trade grew from $162, 223,548 worth of stuff iu 1800 to $2,244,424,266 in 1900. During the teu mouths of 1903 ending with October, Am erican eteacQ ships carried $97, 514,413 of foreign imports to the United States and foreign steamers $058,306,152. During the same period American sail ing ships carried imports to I he valve of $8,653,034, and foreign vessels $22,907,392. For tho ten monthe of 1903, ending with October, American steam ships carried exports from the United States to the value of $08,465,343 and fnr eigu ships carried $889,889,489 worth of exports. Duriag the same period American Bailing vessels carried $8,443,728 worth of exports from the United States and foreign sailing ves sels carried $42,736,351. These figures aro commended to tho careful perusal of our realtors who do not think that our navigation laws should be changed. date on the democratic tioket as joint senator for Union and waiiowa' counties, and it is generally conceded that all the present county officials will be renominated. M. B. Reese, of Cove, baa been mentioned for the legisla ture on the republican ticket, Ben Brown' for commissioner, and S. O. Swackbcmer for as sessor. The Observer has no authority to use any of the names mentioned and only does so from stray straws picked up here and there. 1 On the 12th. of this month the republican state central committee meets in Portland to fix the date for the Btate conven tion and for the holding of the primaries. Then county poli tic? yill become more active, but indications in this county at the present time seem to point to a quiet campaign, as compared with the past recent years. However Union county politicians always seem to be loaded and we shall see what we shall see. FOOD, WATER AND AIR. The Essential Tblnsrs Oat f Which Blood la Hada. Tbeso aro the things out of which blood la made. It the food la nutri tious and properly cooked, if the air Is pure and full of oxygen, If the water 1b clean and free from Impurities, the blood will be rich and red and full of vitality. Bnrrlng physical accidents, there Is no sickness except that depending di rectly upon a want of food or water or air, somotlmes all three. When any one Is sick tho presumption Is that be has been trying to subsist on poor food or vlUated air or bad water, one or more. In order to have good food a person ought to have the first eating of It. Food that has been mussed over and left by one person 1b not fit to be eaten by another. Iu order to have good air a person ought to have the first breathing of It. Air that has been breathed by other persons Is not fit to breathe again. Water should be fresh from some spring or well. If hydrant water mUHt bo used let It run a bit, as the house pllies are apt to be of lead and not Iron like the pipes that convey the wa ter through tho city. Food thut Is relished, air that cools and Invigorates, water that la quaffed with eager thirst these are the things that mnko blood, l'ut fresh air Into the lungs, good food and pure water luto the stomach,. and nature will do the rcst.-Mcilical Talk.

Mayor Slater is imm inently mentioned to succeed himself and if he will servo again he will doubtless be the only candidate. For the city mnrshiilship there aro only two candidates now in the field. Marshal Hay burn would liko to succeed hi nisei f and Deputy Marshal Cotnor would also liko to be chief of pi '.it. 'I'h re lias been very littlo talk so far regarding council inen to succeed Couucilmen Coolidge, in tho lirst ward, Fow ler in the second ward, and Scrih;r iu tho third ward, whose teruii- of office will expire. In county affairs there has been .Dine little speculation ami sever il names have been men uoiicn, unt in uo instance nave we been informed that these men have permitted the use of their names and probably are not even aware that their names are being need.

A household convenience worth many times Its cost In saving carpets and Boors and avoiding rasped door cost ings and bruised fingers Is a little truck for moving henvy stoves, bu reaus, etc. Probably the cheapest form is one with four heavy swivel casters for wheels; all the rest can be built nt home. The size and strength of the plntforni will depend upon the use to which it is to be put. A convenient size Is 'J by feet. The platform should he at least one and one -half Inch thick, sound spruce or hemlock being preferable to oak or other hard and slippery wood.
