SMELT l.VG WITHOUT FUEL According to the Chicago Tribune, Vnited States Consul Mason reports from Frank fort, Germany, that new process has boon discovered there for the smelting and cast ing of metals. It is effected by electric heat under the influence of rarefied air, and is performed at a reduction of fifty per cent, in the cost of casting iron, steel and other metals, besides the saving of time and an important gain in the character of the pro duct, the castings being free from oxidation and blowholes. Mr. Mason describes the apparatus as an airtight furnace which is lined with glared firebrick and has its hearth connected with molds which the fused metal flows in obedience to the laws - of gravitation. The firebrick lining forms an effective insulation, and the electric cur rent is sent through the charge directly without the use of any fuei or the employ ment of carbon electrodes. The fused metals is nearly free and pure from corbon, seemingly to be melted away from that re factory element. The continued exhaustion of the air and the produced gasses increases the fluidity of the molten metal, preventing oxidization and blistering, and premitting the production of castings which are dense within, smooth outside, and possessing the nignest meciianicai qualities, in a small experimental furnace one and one-half tons of pig iron was smelted in fifteen minutes by a current of 30,00 amperes and fifty volts or about 2000 horsetower. The most remarkable thing about this process appears to be that no fuel is required. Vsing the language of the un philosophical j man who regards electricity as a material fluid, one may say "the electricity is punid in" upon the cold metal, warms it up to its work and effects the separation without the aid of other heat than that given by the current, though that may be obtained from a water fall. So the posibilities of the new process must be immense if it is all that is claimed for it. The new treatment must be especially valuable for the production of pig iron and steel in such mountainous dis tricts as have plenty of water and ore but no coal bandy. With water-power the cost would be very low, and it is stated that even if steam be used to develope the elec tricity there will be an economy of thirty to fifty percent in the fuel used as compared w ith that necessary in ordinary methods of reduction. The coat of pig iron, with ore at $2.40 per ton is placed at not to exceed $8 per ton, but it is not clear from the re port what labor basis is employed in arriv ing at this result. Here is room for a further great cheapen ing in the cost of producing iron and steel in the United States. The plants now in distance will be able to make a great sav ing by the aid of the new process, in addi tion to turning out a superior article. But the fact that fuel can be dispensed with must give a further advantage to location where water power is available on a large scale, if so situated that ore can be transpor ted to them cheaply. And in this respect it would seem that the region around the falls of Niagara will offer such great induce ments that it may become the great center iron and steel industries in this country. The water-power there is enormous, meas ured in the millions of horsepower, and the facilties (or cheap transportation of ore from the Lake Superior region are the best pos sible. So it is not idle to suppose that the business of iron production will be revolu tionized both as to character and location in the United States and other parts of the world by the most recent applications of electricity to tne reduction ot ores witnout me use ol neat derive' I Irom fuel. As the statement shows, the shipment ol wheat has increased steadily, while the ship ment of flour has shown a decrease. The total shipment of flour to Kurope was barrels, the value of which was f?!,W0; of wheat, S,.W,la centals, value 3.ft42,879; of Hour to Ilntish Columbia, 21,. 77S barrels, value $1S.S17 ; wheat, 40 rentals, value 11.1; flour to China and Japan, U'-'.IW barrels, value f3S7,H!.i ; flour to San Fran-cisn-o, 17,(SV barrels, value ;!I!,07S; w heal, tMVW! centals, value iW,s;T; flour to other domestic ports, 8M47 barrels, value f'.'S.V 27S: wheat, 73,:t3 cental, value 7:t,M-'.

The Souker went on to say that the state and people at the recent electioi had refused to indorse the populiit theories of government or to elect Ihelr ticket and that the only thing left lor them to do was to lake their own by force. In explanation of this she averred that the flue residences ami business blocks of I'ortland did not be long to the reputed owners hut to the crowd before her, who had a Hrfect right to go ami take them. The writer rcpeutedly heard fpics, l'aisou, Fielding and other of the Chicago anarchists talking such stall as this prior to the Hay-Market massacre. It has but one object, and that to stir up strife and bitterness against the government and orguniied society. It means destruction of life and property if it means anything. How any home loving or law abiding American citizen can sanction any such teachings or support or associate with a person who utters such treasonable and lawless statements is a mistery. Yet to this does populism trend. Hisgulse its ob jects lilileor much the ultimate conclusion is the overthrow of orgauUcd society, the home and individual ownership of all prop erty. The heat of the campaign is over and in the light of such utterances as these, those of our cilitens wlio love couutrv and home The total value of the shipment of sal-1 ai.d rcect the laws w hich govern them mon was2.ft3l,i4.'. The direct loreign shi ment fell otr considerably, the value being only $sl,3.'W, which is the lowest ever re corded. In 1.-412 the value. as $e!,04', and in 1SS, '2,oiH,!3. The deficiency is ac counted for by the lact that the cannery men have been paying more attention lo shipment to domestic coastwise and domes tic by rail. The former has shown a large increase, the value of the shipments in 1 being fU01,315, as compared with fl'IMIO in fi'2. The domestic shipment by rail was below the average., the value being 375,000. The receipts of sundry articles of produce in I'ortland during were as follows: Flour, valley, 348,211 barrels; Eastern, 100,215; wheat, valley, 782.8.W centals; East ern, S,7J3,(i78; oats, valley, 387,(114 centals ; Eastern, 39,789; barley, valley, 3742; East ern, 149,812; flaxseed, valley, 47(13 pounds; Eastern, 1,015,240; hops, valley, 2,924,872 Eastern, 28,320; wool, valley, 784, 290 pounds ; Eastern, 5,637,850; hides, valley, 447,329 pounds; Eastern, 3,791,075; potatoes, valley, 102,374 sacks; Eastern, 94; green fruit, 183,743 boxes and 4.227,0.1) pounds; bran, 34,224 centals; other millstutrs, 127,ii cent als; Oregon butter, 14,J27 packages; Oregon Eggs, 41,327 packages.

Tlte approximate quantity of unsold l pi led States lands in the several laud districts in the state is as follows: Roseburg district, surveyed, 1,643,303 acres; unsurvoyed, 5, 2110,036, exclusive of military and Indian reservations; Oregon City district, surveyed 439,430 acres: unstirveyed, l,5.M,2.Vl; The Dalles District, surveyed, 4,1 10,1115 acres; unsurveyed, 1,321,200, including 950,000 acres in road grants and Indian reservation: l.a Grande district, surveyed, 4,733,985 acres; unsurveyed, 1,409,233; Harney district, sur veyed, 5,(557,093 acres; unsurveyed, 1,989 971; total surveyed, 16,581,420 acres; total unsurveyed, 11.564,960. may well pause before determining to con tinue with a party which will, it successful, ultimately overthrow the Institutions w hich have made civilisation ami developed and built up this great country. It is a good time to paue and look Into the future. Ovxr and over again must the statement made and reiterated by the populists be contradicted. They asnert that nearly all the farms in the United stales are mort gaged. This is merely an assumption on their part and is not true. Like most of their statements it will not bear the light of investigation. The United Slates census of l!iO, which is as good authority as the "I say so" of the average populist, shows that about two-thirds ol the larms in the United Slates are owned by occupants and about one third are occupied by renters. Of the farms occupied by the owners about seventy er cent are Iree from mortgage. About forty-seven r cent, therefore, of the farms In the twenty-two stales and territories reported on are occupied by the owners and are not mortgaged. In cities and towns only twenty-six er cent of the families own homes free of Incumbrance and less than thirty-seven per cent alto gether own homes of their own. In cities of over 100,000 inhabitants, more" than seventy-five per cent of the families rent, and only sixteen per cent own homes free of incumbrance. proprietor of t)u toll roiiil, lius luilll many new culvoiH ami lirlilgcs, cliuugoil tho gniilcs so tliov aro easier, ami gen erally iiuproviul tint run, I.

The Oregonian of Sunday contains the following compilation of statistics relative to the business of Portland and vicinity. It . says: Borne idea of the magnitude of Portland s commercial interests may be gained from the anuual report of the chamber of com merce for 1803, which has just been issued and is ready for distribution. The report is in book form and contains about 2.W pages, filled with interesting information. It in cludes the president's address, reports of other officers and committees, statements of the exports and imports of Portland fo' 1803, as compared with other years, and maiter relating to the citv's financial stand- jnt; and its various industries. The report shows that the grain and tal- Beports from Washington state that the Nicaragua canal project is before congress in the shape of a bill introduced by Mr. Morgan and now in the committee on Foreign Relations which will probably fa vorably report it. The act provides that the capital stock ol the company shall consist of one million shares of one hundred dollars each and no more. The act is to authorize the issuance by the United States Company of bonds amounting to $70,000,000, said bonds to be indorsed by the United States, net more than $30,000,000 to be used before July, 1807, and the power being conferred on the president of the United States to suspend the issuance of the bonds at any time. The act provides that the govern ment shall be secured by a first mortgage on all the property of the country. Surely this country has had enough trouble with government endorsed bonds without permitting the thing tooccuragain. Once in a life is enough and with the cases of the Central and Union Pacific fresh in mind it ought not to be repeated to the tune ol $30,000,000 even in behalf of as worthy an undertaking as the Nicaragua canal. The United States is reported as having just be gun suit against owners of the Central Pa cific to recover on bonds similarly indorsed, and the same reports give the total amount of such endorsed bonds together with the unpaid Interest of the last thirty years as being something over $100,000,000. While the Pacific slope ought to be ex tremely anxious for the building of this canal it can ill arford to urge its building by private or corporate parties at the expense of the government, for such would it ulti mately amount to. The true policy of the government in connection with this matter is to control the canal. It can cither permit or assist, not financially, citizens of this country in building under Ithe protection of the government, or if it is to putauy money or its equivalent in credit into the scheme then it should own shsolutely. Let its build ing be encouraged but the government must not endorse the bonds. Wlx there be any advance in the price ol wheat is a itietion thnt appeals to every citizen. The Toledo (Ohio) Hlade says that the low price of wheat shows no feature of possible improvement. It is otrered to Ku rope, by other countries than this, at prices which render competition impossible. On last Friday, Argentine wheat was offered in Ixmdon, Including cost, insurance and freight, at M cents. The world's stock of this cereal does not decrease enough to ma terially improve the outlook for holders. The new crop Is near at hand, and there is nothing on which to base the hope of a rise. On the contrary, 50-ceut wheat lu Chicago is confidently predicted. Tub Louisville. Kentucky, Courier-Jour nal says: "Somelxxly will make a neat sum on sugar when the new tariff goes into effect. The Importations of free sugar, ex elusive of beet sugar, are larger than were ever known before. In the four months ending March 31, the amount imported was 277,000.000 In excess of the importations for the corres)iidlng period last year, and they are still heavy. All this comes in free, ai most of it has been imported by the Sugar Trust, the largest dealer in sugar in this country. The profits when the tax goes on will be something big. No wonder the sugar trust certificates are high up In price on Wall street." HARNESS! -IIAKXKSS!! JI AKXKSSI ! I At Hod Koclc PrlcoH.
