The first (arm mortijage ever written on the 'amortiBzement" plan in the United States ws made in Chieieo last week. The method comes from Europe, where it has been in application for 100 years, and where it covers 00 per cent of the farm mortgago3. It is simple, being a combination of tho ubuuI mortgage with a sinking fund pro vision. The borrower, in addition to bis annual interest charge, pays a small proportion of the principal, with the result that at tho expira tion of the lifetime of the mortgage the entire debt is extinguished. On a 6 jierccnt, urm loan of 11 000, the annual payment it to be f 87.18. The first year this is applied as follows: Interest 0 per cent on 1 1,000 lor one year $ 00 00 Applied on the principal de'it 1.7 IS Total payment f 87 H Amount borrowed 1,000 00 Lets reduction made 27 18 Italance due on the principal after flrtl payment I 072 82 The next year the IS7.18 payment will be divided ai follows: Interest at8 ir ot-ut for one year on the UU' ce ol the principal dbt, JH72.81 :3 37 Applied to the reduction of the debt 2S 21 Total paymeut f 87 18 This method is kept up for 20 years unless tho mortgage choscs to prepay the principal debt, which he has the privilege of doing until at the time of making the lust and twentieth payment tho principal debt will be reduced to about 82.21. The twentieth payment of sjS7.1H is then applied as follows: Interest at 0 x-r cent on the unpaid prlicip4t of s2.2-l... 4 01 Applied in the principal dclt, which Is then paid lu full 82 . Total payment f 87 IS The following" comparison shows the saving adi-cU'd: OnaatralKhtflOOO 0 per tvnt loan for 20 years you would pay $00 Interest each year, or In all tl.200 00 And you would still owe the principal debt of 1,000 00 Total cost of au ordinary 0 per cent loan t-.l'H) 00 Ou an aiuottlzeuieht loan for 20 years you would pay S7 18 each year or a total of 1 1,7 1:1 00 And your principal debt Is paid "IT, you save the differ ence or 450 40 Those figures give one a close in- sijht into the cumulative force of interest. A furmcr for example, who borrowed at 9 per cent on a $1,000 mortgage under tho present system, would pay WO per year, or more than the farmer who borrow ed at G per cent on the amortize ment plan, but the farmer would owe $1,000 at the end ot 20 years, while the latter would have his debt entirely extinguished. The difference between 9 per cent and C per cent soems trilling. It is only $30 per year, less than 10 cents per day, but slight as the difference, it may cover all the variations which lies between a home that is free and a home that is mortgaged in the days when old ago comes s'ealing on. In many a case it may mean all tho tragto difference between home and the poor-bonne. ' OKEUO.VH NEW INUlSTKY. Concerning the new factory Of the Oregon Sugar Company located at La Grande, the La Urande Chrouiclo says that the building will be completed early in Septem ber, some two weeks before the beets are matured. The company is incor porated f,r$ 1,000,000 and is a closo corporation, tubscriptions for stuck being limited to a few individuals of means and previous experience in the business. The company owns SO acres of land around the biildings, whhh will be utilized as stockyards, warehouse site, etc Two huudred and fifty tons of steel will be used in the construction of the factory and 750,000 bricks, and 10 mechanics are employed upon the work. Over 1200 tons o: machinery are in the building with .Tore to follow, all of American make and of the very latest palten. The prewnt capacity is io handlo 350 tons of beets dily, ffhich can be easily doubled at comparatively small expense. The plant will cost fully $475,00, and will be ruo during the season to its 'ull capacity 21 hours etch day, Hiving employment to 100 men. Eight thousand cords ot wood will ne used eich season. Thirty-five Hundred acres have been planted to ugar beets by tanners adjacent to he factory, under contractu) the actory. The yield is conservative iy estimated at 10 tons per acre, n 1 the ontnet p'ice is $1 per tin. WOliLU'W WllliAT cttor. Minneipolis Market Record: "According to the best calcula tions obtainable the world's largest wheat crops were raised in 193, 1301 and 1895. There were the crops that produced the great sur plus which caused the serious de cline in prices. The yield ot 1890 and of 1897 wa small compared with the previ ius three yean, re sulting in the consumption of the surplus ot the earlier period. All calculations now bear out the con clusion that 1S93 will produce another large crop, comparing favorably with the largest yields oi other years, inasmuch as the Bur plus was so nearly exhausted this season, a very large proportion of the early marketings from this crop will go to fill the vacant places made so by the high prices this season. It is fair to conclude that prices ot cash wheat will bo fairly maintained until at leasts rea so able supply has accumulated. It is noticeable that winter wheat has not moved so freely since the threshing began as was generally supose(i it would move, it is not unlikely that spring-wheat move ment will show equal tardiness, and that prices will consequently exceed current expectations.
