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. FARMERS' SOCIETY The organiza OF EQUITY tion last Sat urday of a local of the national organization known as The Farmers' Society of Equity, marks a forward step in the direction of co operation, which if it is honestly car carried out will be to the mutual bene fit of both consumer and ..producer.

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. tin fuinliititi ujwn which rests of ilie stiiie the PHYSICAL ITS PEOPLE.'

NEW WATER SUPPLY URGED. OGEGON CITY, Or., Dec. 23. Edi tor of the "Enterprise.) With climate that is unexcelled, with soil that pro duces almost everything grown in the temperate zone, with scenery that is unequalled, with water power that has meant great things and will mean still greater things, and with an intel ligent and progresive popujation, Ore gon City 'cannot afford to have its fu ture haunted by the spectre' of pos sible typhoid epidemics. No filter-will serve the purpose. Buffalo, N. Y., and Cleveland, O., have proven this beyond a doubt. Every dollar spent, is improving our present system of filtration will be wasted. If we can get in on the Clear Lake proposition we will have our water question set tled for all time to come. I am not' aware of the expense involved," hence do not know whether it would be feasable. In any event we must get our water supply from some uncon taminated source, and this would be worth looking into. ..... W. T. MILLIKEN. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. F. S. Fields and wife to James H.
