FLEET AT PUNTA ARENAS.
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,

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

foot of lumber put through his mill,

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.

away an excess of wood and by pick

not be closer than five or six Inches.

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
