Now Summer at South American Port, Jolly Tars Will Have Good Rest Before Starting Across tno Equator. Washington, D. C, Feb. 1. (Spe cial Correspondence.) Punta Arenas, where the American battleship fleet Is now making Its third stop In Its cruise around South America, Is both unique and Important port. It is the southernmost city in the world. Al. though located In a section which up on old maps appeared to be a part of Patagonia and close to Tlerra del Fue. go, the supposed home of wild men and cannibals, it Is a growing, progres sive and up-to-date town with a popu lation of 15,000. It has wide streets some of which are well paved, several Imposing public buildings, a number of fine residences, an opera house, clubs, a good system of electric light ing and water supply, and other mod' em characteristics, Punta Arenas has the distinction of being the capital of Chilean territory of Magellanes. It Is a free port of en try for all vessels and It Is not an un common sight to see a score or more of merchant steamers and ships at an chor In its harbor. It Is an Important coaling port for all boats passing from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It has an increasing export trade in wool, hides and tallow. In 1905 these products to the value of $9,000,000 were exported, In the same year over 75,000 carcases of frozen meat were shipped to Eng land. The country of Chile and Ar gentlna In the vicinity of Punta Arenas Its commercial entreport, has had a development In sheep and cattle rals. lng not unlike that of the western sec tlon of the United States. Where a few years ago the maps represented the territory as being wild and unex plored, there are now great sheep and cattle ranges owned by Britishers and Germans. The pasturage to the north east of Punta Arenas Is remarkably fine, and, because of the cool climate, . the neighborhood seems best adapted to the production of heavy wool. Great companies have been started to de velop the grazing facilities and some are yielding a profit of 300 per cent. Others have been purely speculative and have brought disaster to those in vesting In them. In the 100 miles reach of country from Punta Arenas to the Argentine frontlor there are proba bly about 2,000,000 sheep and 20,000, 000 head of cattle. The Straits of Magellan reach prac tically 315 miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific, divided Into two parts with the eastern somewhat longer than the western. At Cape Forward, tho dividing point, a turn at almost right angles is made. The widest portion Is nearly 30 miles, while the narrowest Is barely one mile. Since the boundary settlement between Chile and Argen tina of 18S1 the Straits of Magellan have belonged to the former country, but the waterway Is not to be fortified and Is always to be open to Interna tional navigation. The climate Is cool and bracing and It Is the only place In South America whore skating and sleighing can be engaged in for a considerable portion of the winter. Our floet, however, will be there at the end of summer, Inas much as the seasons south of the through the tropics, but prepare them selves for the equally long Journey north across the equator before they reach California. Better Roads for Rural Mail Carriers. It seems to be the general opinion among the patrons of rural routes that the postal department must keep the roads open for the rural carrier. This Is not th" case. The postal department Hi uu jurisdiction over the roads. The .':;,artment requires that all roads traversed by rural carriers shall be kept In good repair at all seasons of the year, and any road not so main tained shall be sufficient reson for withdrawal of established service. The county or community In which the ser vice Is established has jurisdiction over the roads. Therefore the county court or community In which the ser vice Is established has' more Jurisdic tion over your carriers and malls than the government. The carrier Is not ontitled to any privileges on public hlg'aways that are not possessed by private Individuals. The carrier must conform to the es tablished rules of the road in which the service Is performed. The county court could, If they were Inclined to do so, stop every rural mail route In Clackamas county. They can, also, If so Inclined, grade eight feet of road along every rural highway to be used as a path by rural carriers and pe destrians, and If any person used this path for any other purpose it seems to me he certainly would be trespassing. I have talked this up with patrons of my route, and I find them all strongly In favor of the path. I found one or two on the route who are afraid that If they build paths for mallcarriers SAYS the road work will stop. Now, I be lieve In good roads, and the only juBt way to build roads is by tax, but I do not believe In taxing myself to build $10,000 roads just to get ray mail. My route Is 24 miles. I have seven miles of good road, six miles of plank and one mile of crushed rock; out there are five miles of the road that have seen their best days. Another year will let It out entirely. Now, I have horseflesh and wear and tear on your outfit. This would be putting some of the tax where it Justly belongs. Now, I wish to say to farmers and patrons of post roads, that there Is a large amount of your tax money spent on your rural mall routes. At this time of the year the roads become Im passable; the carriers begin to kick; the court orders the road joss to fix tnai roaa; tne roaa doss lanes a iew men and goes out and shovels the dirt around for a day or two, and the next day you come along it Is worse than ever. All you can say is, here is $20 sunk In this hole. Now, there are two ways you can stop this: One way Is, stop the rural mall service; the other way Is to get out and build paths for the carrier. It is not going to cost very much to build paths. All we need Is eight or ten feet on one side of the road. We don't need any plank or crushed rock. We will use the same bridges and. where. It is not practical to build paths we will use the same roads. All that is required is to keep all other traffic off of It. You can plow this road up and take a harrow and log drag and make it smooth. You can then seed It. down to grass, and In less than a year's time you will have a good sod Rath. I am going to take this tax question up again next week, and I want you to remember one thing: Keep it uppermost in your mind that under the present system your taxes may be high; you may pay taxes enough, but there is one thing you don't do, and that is you don't pay enough road tax. Yours truly, LOUIS RATH, Carrier R. F. D. No. 1, Sprlngwater, Or. HOME-MADE TREATMENT CURES DREAD DISEASE. Unanimity on every question save that of a permanent site marked Ae annual stockholders' meeting of the Clackamas County Fair Asoclatlon held Friday afternoon in the county courtroom. Officers and directors were chosen and matters of import ance vital to the existence of the as sociation were fully discussed. The people of Canby were there with a direct and complete proposition to bring the permanent site of the fair to their town, but strong opposition developed and the matter was left open and the committee on sites con tinued. The proposition of Canby in brief is to provide an adequate site includ ing a grove and race track, giving the association a lease for ten years, and agreeing to subscribe for stock to the amount of $1000. Against this offer, the association has no definite pro posal, but hopes to receive one from H. E. Cross, president of the Glad stone Real Estate Association. The fair last fall was held at Gladstone Park and the place proved very sat isfactory, but in order to swing the fair in that direction as a permanent site, the committee in charge of tho matter insists upon having a definite proposition, covering a term of years. They argue that it is too expensive to erect buildings every year and then tear them down, and they want to have some permanent structure, no matter where the fair may be located, Captain J. T. Apperson, George Ran dall and W. B. Stafford talked in fa vor of Gladstone. Secretary Gary and Treasurer Ryan leaned toward Canby and advised against a hasty declson. The following officers were elected: George Lazelle, president; R. S. Coe, vice-president; T. J. Gary, secretary; Thomas F. Ryan, treasurer; J. W, Grasle, of Milwaukle; William Gris- enthwaite, A. J. Lewis, of Maple Lane, T. R. A. Sellwood, of Milwaukle, and Thomas L. Turner, of Stafford, direct ors. The officers of the association and the members of the county court are ex-officlo mombers of the board of directors. Judge Ryan reported a balance of nearly $800, and made a detailed re port of the finances, whereupon the stockholders, by unanimous vote re solved to hold a fair next fall. Those present at the meeting were unan mous In their decision to make an ex hibit next fall at the State fair, and while no date has been determined for holding the County fair, it will prob ably be held earlier than last year, in order to select the choicest of the ex hibits for county display at the State Fair. It is apparent, in view of the de cision to send an exhibit to Salem, that the County fair will have to be held early in September. Secretary Gary s proposal for a Ju venile, Fair was more than endorsed as the stockholders decided to defray the expenses of the children's exhib its, and the Juvenile Fair, Instead of lasting one day, as was originally pro posed, will hold for the entire session of the County Fair. The next matter of interest in connection with the fair will be the report of the commit tee on sites, though this may be with held for several months, as the time is ample. Shake the Ingredients Well In the Bottle and Take a Teaspoonful Dose After Meals. When an eminent authority an nounced in the Scranton (Pa.) Times that he had found a new way to treat the dread American disease, Rheuma tism, with Just common, every-day drugs found in any drug store, the talked to the patrons along the road, i physicians were slow indeed to attach and thev say it will never be rebuilt, i much Importance to his claims. This as the traffic is all going to Estacada; but there will be traffic enough on this road to make It almost impassable for the mail carrier. This will make about 22 miles of road for the carrier to trav el that Is almost Impassable, but these people want their mall under the path system, and they can have their mall without taxing themselves to death to build roads for sawmills. A $50 path will answer the same purpose as a $5,000 road. As I have said before, I believe in a road tax, but I do not believe the farm ers should be taxed to build roads for the timber and lumber men. I believe the county court should tax the mill man 50 conts per thousand for every foot of lumber put through his mill, was only a few months ago. Today nearly every newspaper In the coun try, even the metropolitan dailies, is announcing it and the splendid results achieved. It is bo simple that any one can prepare It at home at Bmall cost.

These are all simple ingredients, making an ab solutely harmless home remedy at lit tle cost. Rheumatism, as every one knows, is a symnton of deranged kidneys. It is FRU.il OTERS PEACH CULTURE. Some Practical Directions as to 8oll and Treatment. For peaches choose a warm, fertile soil, not too rich In nitrogen, but with plenty of phosphoric ncld and potash. A northern or northwestern-slope af fords some protect Ton from frost in jury. Hillsides are safer against in- Jury from both frost and too much moisture in the soil. A good sod or green crop plowed under before plant ing will furnish vegetable - matter enough. Afterward the soil mny be mulched. Keep the Top Open. ; Trees should be one year old and trimmed, low so that they can be easily picked from a steplndder. Keep the top open and spreuding, not removing the lower limbs unless necessary. My trees are set twenty feet npart each way and fertilized with 1,000 pounds of a complete fertilizer applied broad cast. The first season potatoes are raised between the trees, followed by cowpeas, which are plowed under the following spring and another dressing of an equal amount of fertilizer ap plied, followed by another crop of po tatoes. After that the ground Is kept clean by harrowing, cultivation, spread ing the two sections of the harrow so as to reach under the trees. After ward cultivate each year and apply fertilizers as the trees seem to need. advises a grower in American Culti vator. The fruit hi thinned both by cutting away an excess of wood and by pick ing off the fruit. The peaches should not be closer than five or six Inches. Every tree showing signs of disease is cut out The Hardiest Varieties The hardiest varieties are of the cling type, Including the Snead, Victor, Greensboro, Wadilell, Carman, Fitzger ald, named in order of their earllness. The Early Belle Is the first early free stone. Elberta is one of the most pop ular kinds, but not of high quality. For localities having a severe climate the Greensboro, Carman, Champion, Captain, Edes and Belle of Georgia Can be recommended. WHITE GRAPES. Niagara Pleaies Many People as an All Round Variety.

A vine or two of this high bred grape should be In every gardeih In my opinion, the queen of all grapes, the handsomest, the most de licious, the most aromatic and the one that pleases the most people, Is the Niagara. It comes the nearest to being the ideal all round grape. The aroma, of a Niagara vineyard in late Septem ber Is perceptible for a long distance. Every grape has Its champions, but I have yet to find a person who does not like the Niagara, says a writer in the Garden Magazine. It will hang on the vines until frost, and its amber color. aroma and honeycomb flavor Increase with every day. It must have good soil, sweet and well drained, plenty of fertilizer and thorough spraying.

Muscat of Alexandria 'is probably the very finest flavored grape in existence. Early Rivers is a grand early nectar ine, handsome, large and of fine flavor. Teach trees growing in a thick mat ted mass can never be satisfactory. Keep them thin. Strawberries that have been lightly forced In spring frequently produce a second crop in the fall. A couple of fig trees in pots are not a very serious proposition, and they may be grown by the amateur. Fruit forcing, like all other kinds of forcing, should be begun gently. A lot of heat all at once is ruinous. A really good, well ripened melon grown under glass cannot be compared with any other fruit for flavor. Madresfleld Court is a flue flavored, handsome grape, but it has a very thin skin, and the berries crack easily. Small apples and other fruit trees grown and fruited in pots are not much trouble to grow and are very at tractive. Gardening.
