TRADE WITH With an opti
SOUTH AMERICA mism that is far
' . from being whol
ly justified, the country at large
is confidently expecting a tre-.
mendous development of our
trade with the various South
American countries upon the opening
of the Panama Canal. .But" most of
us don't realize that Uncle Sam is
way behind the other" commercial na
tions in the fight for South American
markets. Even the vast pile of money
we have spent on the canal, does not
""begin to" "compare with that spent by
England, Germany, France and Hol
land on railroads and harbors through
out Argentine, Uraguay, Brazil, Chili,
Peru and other countries.
The Argentine is practically British,
as Brazil is German. Indeed one
hears more German than Portugese
spoken in the streets and hotels of
the Brazilian capital. Chile, Peru and
Uraguay go to England for their ships,
railroad supplies, and capital, with the
inevitable result that John Bull con
trols their important trade.
It is not enough that we have built
the canal, we must also build ulp a
trade with our Latin-American cous
ins, and develop a merchant marine
to handle it. One of the rarest sights
on the ocean highways is to see an
American merchantman, flying the
stars and stripes.

One Of the things the society should
agitate is the issuance of marketing
reports, and the organization of a bur
eau similar to the one in Canada,
known as the "Extension of Markets"
Division. Its work includes the in
spection of cargoes and .supervision
of refrigeration and many other de
tails of that sort. It also includes,
however, a system of compiling re
cords of wholesale prices in all mar
kets of Canada, Europe and the Unit
ed States, day by day. It furnishes
the Canadian farmer full information
with regard to outside markets, and
and a full record of prices in those
articles.
A bureau of this sort at Washington
could be made the nucleus of a' system
whereby a very large part of the leak
age between the farmer and the con
sumer cculd be eliminated.
CHICKENS Very shortly we are to
AND EGGS have another poultry
show in Oregon City,
and all signs point to its being on a
far bigger scale even than the one last
year. It is really remarkable that
more farmers do not take up this most
profitable industry than do, for the
hardest part of the work comes at a
season of the year when the farmer
has most time on his hands. Poultry
experts tell us that with good founda
tion stock, the profits are big and
certain to the man who has land on
which he can raise his own feed.
Certain it is that if the city man
utilizing the back end of a town lot
can make money out of it, buying
every item of feed, the farmer with
all the resources of his-land back of
him ought to do infiinitely better,
Harvey ' Beckwith, general agent of
the Wells Fargo Express Company,
who has an intimate knowledge of
Oregon and its possibilities and needs,
claims that poultry keeping is not
only Oregon's greatest need, but one
of its biggest moneymakers. Accord
ing to government statistics, the egg
industry of the United States last
year amounted to over $500,000,000.
The money paid for eggs and poultry
in one year was two and a half times
greater than the entire gold output
of the United States, Canada and Mex
ico. It exceeded the wheat harvest
by one hundred million dollars.
On top of this comes the supreme
fact that nowhere else in the country
can be found the same favorable op
portunities as in Oregon, and espey
ially in the Willamette, Umpqua and
Rogue River valleys.

get in on the Clear Lake proposition
we will have our water question set

Judge Beatie announced Monday
night that the county court had been
notified that the Sievers and Hog Hollow-
districts had each voted in favor
of 10 mill levies for road work. The
vote was almost unanimous in both
places, and the money realized in ad
dition to that which comes through
the regular channels will enable the
communities to make rapid advance
ment with road v ork. These are pros
perous sections of the county, . and
other sections are expected to follow
