Over 400,000 tons of merchant
veeeele were built in the United
- States during the fiscal year which
ended on June 30, 1900, and yet
but one, a steamship of 1,770 gross
tons, was built exclusively for our
foreign trade.
Under the operation of the Wil
son . free trade tariff for reveuue
only, there was a deficit of $108,-

there was a Burplus of 146,000,000

than on the same date four years
ago, yet the World Herald, Mr,
Bryan's personal organ, which is
published in Omaha, asserted very
vigorously during the 1896 cam
paign that the prices of no farm
products could advance without
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver.
' No one can fail to appreciate the
contrast between the improved com
mercial conditions of today and
those of the presidential campaign
four years ago, and it will be im
possible to persuade the voting
teasces that they should return the
power of government to the hands
of those whose erroneous policies
and micmansgement brought four
years of dt pression and distress.

Reports from Fekin give little
fcope that any of the foreigners are
alive. The vicious and cruel fanat
ics have shown a degree of barbar
ian, not hitherto imputed to them.
Their treatment of wounded foreign
ers who fall into their hands, brands
them as a race incapable of appre
ciating the amenities of enlightened
warfare. They are a nation of mur
derous assaseinB and cut throats,
more vicious, bloodthirsty and re
lentless than the lowest tribe of sav
ages. Well will this benighted em
pire pay for the high handed out
rages committed under its implied
sanction.

The news of the'' death of rac
Skoel, which ooourretl at Salem Tues
day afternoon, was reoelved In Medford
the same day, and much grief was ex
pressed by the many friends here who
have known the young man from child
hood. The cause of death was hemor
rhage of the lunirs. He lived but a
short time after having been taken,
He was at his work, that of eleotrlolan,
at ten o'clock in. the forenoon and at
four In the afternoon of ' the same day
he was a oorpae. The remains were
brought to Grants Puss, where his
parents reside, on Wednesday, and the
funeral took plaoe yesterday. Dooeasod
was twenty-two years of age and had
been In delicate health for several
months, having had several hemorrhages
previous to this one. The sympathy
of all Medford people goes out to the
family in their hour of sad bereavement.

R. H. Ealley is putting on more
'shine" than anyone. His new briok,
the front of which is one of the pretti

finish op a good job In first-class shape
he has decided to put down a oement
walk In front of both his brick blocks.
This will be an appreciated improve
ment and while it's a little rich in
price at the start it lasts enough longer
than wood to more thau pay the differ

they are just a little worse than none

From lbs Eugene Register. .
"Dairying in Oregon is oreating a
good many demands. , As a result
of the growth of the industry thou
sands of dollars worth of new sup
plies of. many kinds are being
bought, Besides herds of dairying
stock at a considerable cost to the
owners. Considerably more than
$1,000,000 will be put into circul
tion in 1900 through the activity
the dairying line.
"Large supply houses and whol
sale firms realizing the value of the
dairying business, are beginning
cater to the trade and have spec!
representatives on the road. William
M. Springer, of a supply house i
Denver, has returned from a trip
through the valley, and, like every
one else who understands dairying,
is enthusiastic at the opportunitie
the valley offers for dairying.
" 'In my judgment,' said he.
mere is no spot on earth more
favorable for dairying than the
Willamette valley. It has climate
feed, water and all the natural con
ditionB for perfect dairying. Fvery
country has some drawbaoks. The
valley has only one, aud it can
easily overcome bad roads. Wood
roads are essential to successful
dairying, and the sooner they are
improved the sooner dairymen, and
for that matter, all olasses, will
reap the benefit.'
"Mr. Springer said butter could
be produced moreoheaply in Oregon
than in any state of the Union.
this state does not become the ban
ner butter state it will be the fault
of the dairymen. In his opinion
stock would not need feeding dur
ing the summer months when the
grass was dry. Cows would not
give so muoh milk, but it was rioher
and would produce more butter.
"Mr. Springer said there was no
danger of over production. There
would be a market for all the butter
Oregon could turn out, and that
would represent a pretty big figure."
The same conditions, or even bet
ter, favorable to the dairying bus!
nets exist in the Rogue river valley
and still there is bnt one creamery
in the entire valley.
There has been much talk upon
the creamery line in Medford and
the surrounding country, but un
fortunately the matter has been al
lowed to take a too easy pace,
When the farmers shall have gotten
through with some of their rush
work it is probable, and to be hoped,
that they will give the subject more
attention.
