The American Agriculturalist Year
Book for 1906, gives the wealth, that it
the money value of all the property in the
United States at $110,000,000,000.
This it just twice as much a the aggre
gate wealth of the United Kingdom viz:
England. Ireland and Wales, which is'
given at $65,000,000,000. Germany is
given $50,000,000,000 cash and pro
perty, France $46,000,000,000 and
Russia $35,0d0,000,000 '
In 1860 the wealth of the United State
a given by the United State Department
of Csmmerce and Labor, wa $16,159,
616,000 being a per capita wealth of
$513.93. In 1900 it wa $94,300,000,
000 with a per capita of $1,235.96. The
per capita wealth In the United States in
1900 was more than double what it was
in 1860. notwithstanding in 1860 slaves.
that i negroes or mixed blood bom ef
(lave mothers, to the number of 8.953,
760 were deemed property and the value
thereof was taken as a part of the wealth
of the nation, which taking the New
Orleans slave auctions as a basis, was
not less than $2,000,000,000 or one
eighth of the aggregate wealth of the
nation. .
ABOUT COUNTY ROADS
The state of Massachusetts appropri
ates annually $450,000 for construction
and $60,000 for maintenance of county
roads in that state. The common wealth
has appropriated in the aggregate $6,
000,000 for building of roads.
The total mileage of completed roads
made under the provision of th itate
aid act wa 1068 miles on July 1st.
1906 in New Jeisey. -
From 1891 to. the first of September
1904 th state of New Jersey expended
$1,766,595 on road making. ' The
counties during that time expended more
than twice a much a the state on road
work and the total cost of road making
and repairing during th 1 3 years was
$5,745,518. Since 1891 New Jersey
ha' mad 796.14 miles of ston and
247.39 miles. of gravel roads. New
Jertey.now has 2,200 miles of improved
roads of all kinds, macadam, gravel and
earth.
The public i wondering what hat be
come of Vice-President Fairbanks. He
seems to have dropped entirely out of
sight. No one seems to care what his
opinion are on public question. The
railway rate measure has smoked out
some of the senators, but Mr. Fairbanks
is left alone in the lofty gloom and dignity
of his position. There is not even a hint
given out, of the location of his one-time
vgrila presidential boom.

CLARK A LUCKY MANE
If it may be considered luck to get a
seat in the United State Senate Clark i
a luckjr name for there ar now holding
teats in the United State Senate three
enator named Clark viz: Clarence V.
Clark of Minn. William A. Clark of
Montana and Jame P. Clark pf Arkan
sas Two Clarks ar members of the
House of Representatives viz: Champ
Clark of Mo. and Henry D. Clark of Ala
bama. But there are nine Smith in th
lower house of the present congress, but
there I not a single Smith in the senate.
The gay sports of the smart set had to
pay Colonel Mann much money for "pro
tection," and it is going to tak much
mony for th colonel to "protect" him'
self from justic.
It will be the people' fault if good can
didate ar not nominated and not th
fault of the primary law. To accomplish
this voter must first register, for unless
you register you cannot take part in th
primaries where the nomination ar
mad.
Thi it the time of th year when the
logger harvest their crop in this county
for which they annually receive not less
than $155 000. not a bad payroll at
tim of th year when it is supposed ther
it nothing doing. It i th large diversi
fied interests that make this the banner
county of the state.
La Grande has a better claim on a fed'
ral building than any other town in East
ern Oregon from the fact that we have
more federal office. With thi a a bati
w should tak an active interest in
curing thi place a th seat of th nw
Judicial district, that will probably be
granted by congress. Thi i of far more
vital importance than who is to be our
next congressman and it is our duty to
ascertain the views of th would be cxi-
