'v mm AND GERMANY . Both France and Germany are active in making preparations for war with each other. France nrt counting her foreign psssessions, has a population of 28,343,192, allowing the same percent of men of military age, that there are in the United States, and making no deduc tions for defects there are 8,224.603 men of military age in Franca which in an emergency can be called to do a sol dier's duty. Germany with a population of 62,- 279 901 at the same ratio as in the U S. has 1,214,133 msn of military age. Tne German Empire in 1903 had 14 battle ships of first class and 6 of second and a total of warships of different class es of 479 vessels, manned with 1200 oUcersand 82.503 enlisted men. Her navy was armed with 340 heavy guns and 1874 secondary and machine guns. The French Reoublic in 1903 had 26 battleships of first class 6 of second class and 4 of third class and a total of warships of all classes of 810, manned with 1926 officers and 43,400 enlisted men and armed with 760 heavy guns and 4,296 secondary and machine guns. It is not probable that either France or Germany can put in actual military ser vice all the men within their jurisdiction of military age, or as much, if any, great er percent of their population than our 4 civil war gathered into the Union and confederate armies. When that war be gan in .1861 there were 32,293,434 pas- pie in the United States. The Union armies had during that war 2,772,408 men engaged and the Confederates are estimated as having 600,000 men en gaged which makes a total of 3,372.408. This was but a - little over 10 percent of the whole population, But we are not so much concerned in how many men France and Germany can put in "Battle's stern, majestic ar ray" as how it is going to effect our trade, thoroughly investigate and if we da net. we will wake up some fine morning and find that we have slept on our cpp?rtun tunities. It is generally concede i tnat some time in the near future Crjgon will have a separate Federal judlci-1 cistrit and it is well known that Pe.'.eton and Baker City are candidates for .-incrs. when the time comes to beats the place where the court, shall be held, and this will be named in the bill. There is no reason why Li Grande should not be the place. ;n fact there are many reasons. why it shou.d be. Our readers will re member that early in tne present session of congress Senator Fulton introduced a bill appropriat ng $123,003 for a pub lic building in La Grande. Tnis building w:uid comfortably house the Un'ted States Pott Office; tne United States Land Office and the United States Fed eral Court and in time it would mean t.ut as both the La- Grande land district and the Burns lend district grow smaller both districts will be. consolidated and merged into the La Grande district If however, the Federal - court goes to Baker City it will in time secure the land office when the two districts are consol- njaicu. now mere is no-reauii uj La Grande should not secure pledges of support from the congressional candi dates as well as Baker City and Pendle ton.

S, M. Maljsy, Kamela, Oregcn. Financiers and students who see in the stupendous increase of the world's activities larger demands for gold for use as money and in the arts have been reassured by the recent report of the Director of the Mint showing an increase of $22,000,000 in the world's output of gold in 1904. The figures for the year are placed at $347,150,700. The great est gain is in South Africa, which country alone shows an increase of $13,000,000. This includes the Transvaal district whish tha report designates as the most important gold field in the world. The United States gained $7,000,000. while Australia's contribution was reduced slightly. In view of present develop ments in well-known fields, the director thinks it reasonable to perdict that the outpot of 1905 will exceed that of 1904 by $25,000,000, with another gain probably in 1 906. Commenting on the influence of higher cost upon the gold mining industry itself, the report declares that it depends uson the marginal profits realixod, and these vary with almost every mine. "Although some items of mining c?st have increased." the report concludes, "the tendency on the whole is still downward." Improvements in me chanical appliances and metallurgical methods have so far more than offset the influences making for higher cost - Jackson 31.075 Josephine 25,461 Kiamath.. .' 21,652 Lake 11,306 Lane.........
