'1 bouxuadii ot Tnnit of Foreign Btrtfe
Dumped at Portland,
Within the city limits of Port
land, says tbo Telegram, then re
samples of soil from nearly every
clime in the world, from (ireen
land's icy mountain-, of India's
coral strand, and further.
Tin- soil has hern brought to
Portland's harbor by vessels as
ballast. These ships came from
many countries, and, placing an
average of 100 tons of ballast to
each vessel, which is a very moder
ate figure, the total amount of
foreign soil convoyed to this city
reaches tho amazing total of over
1,000,000 tons.
All this soil has boon utili.ed,
and is now ss much a part of
America as Mount Hood itself.
This ballast was used to fill the
low-lying lands in the northern
part of the citv, on both sides of
tho river. More than one home is
built on earth from far-away India,
and children playing in the streets
throw dust at one another that
csmo from the shore of sumo erst
while cannibal isle. There are
acros and acres of such earth that
have became so thoroughly accli
muted by Oregon's rains as to de
coive any Webfoot that ever wad
dled about in tbo mist.
Some strange things are brought
iu ballast, principally lieculiar
shells, Vessols coming from South
American shores have added ma
terially to this collection. Rare and
beautiful specimens are found by(
people intt rested in such matters.
Some enthusiasts used to make a
practice of visiting ships unloading
ballast for the purpose of securing
shells, As the big buckets dump
their loads on the wharf the collec
tors would scramble over the heap,
giying a hurried search and raking
the maBS of earth and shells until
another bucket swung over their
heads, ready to unload.
Botanists have discovered weeds
aud plants from foreign shores,
growing as best they could, in the
ground formed by the ballast.
Seeds become mixed with the earth
and sprout when the moisture
reaches them. Some Btrange flora
has beeu transplanted in this way,
hut comparatively few of the plants
survive. As a field for exploration
the ballast tracts offer many temp
tations to amateur botanists aud
collectors of shells.
Somotimes sand brought in ships,
which was picked up on some
island shore, is used for plastering
nurjioees. Kxperieuce has taught
contractors, however, that a Iioubo
plastered with Bca sand is always
damp, The sand contains Bait,
aud on cloudy days the walls are
covered with moisture. There are
houses in 1'ortland, built years ago,
in which this sand ib used, and tho
walls are as moist aud damp now
as when the plaster wsb first put
on.

has been a farmer, herdsman, hun
ter, soldier, clergyman, ambassador,
financier, bead of the army. In
recent years he has bought and
sold land a good deal, and is re

A PAPKK TKUHT.
Plans aro quietly being made to
consolidate tho paper manufacturers
of the country into a trust with a
capitalization of $o0,0( 10,000. One
of the promoters gave the key to
tho cause of the proposed consolida
tion when ho said "prices will go
higher before they will go lower."
The beneficent McKinley tariff pro
tects paper manufactures from 50 to
300 por aent, yet they seek other
methods to get at the pockets of
consumers. No wonder the trust
phantom is causing the administra
tion no little uneasiness. There is a
fable about tho snake that was
warmed into life chasing its pre
server from the house.
President MoKinley will not be
turned out of office by the trust,
but their existence is not unlikely
to cause the people to choose a suc
cessor to the presidency who will
be under no obligation to capital
istic and manufacturing combinations.
THE bOhHS AND THKIK I'M KM
DENT. rresideut Kruger of the Trans
vaal has provided against a
siege of Johannesburg by building
storehouses and granaries, where
meat and grain are kept in great
quantities. The great drawback to
the Transvaal is that it lacks a sea
port. The most convenient one is
l)elagoa bay, owned by the Portu
gese. As Portugal is mortgsged to
Eugland, the latter country controls
it. Towering oyer Johannesburg is a
big fort, aud working iu sublerra
nacn passages tho Boers, it ia said,
Yacht racing Iiiib got down to the
level of the horse race, in ono par
ticular at least. After the start is
made the race goes if one yacht
gets through on the time limit, no
matter if the opposing ocean racer
should Iubo her spars and Bails
when barely over the startiug line.
Such racing is disappointing, but
othor rules would undoubtedly
lead to jockeying aud thereby de
stroy public interest in tho sport.
Better an occasional disappoint
ment thau to allow conditions that
may bring the pastime into disrepute.
SAS s OOOO PBICC IS POSSIHU
The following Is a letter written by
that veteran bop grower, O Hyde
Clarke, of Cooperstown, N. Y., to the
Itepublicau of that place:
Dear HiR8:-WIII you kindly find
space to allow me to eddre-s these few
lines to the hop grower? Permit me
to say that the very exaggerated state
ments of the world's crops which have
been made by various dealers Id this
country are very misleading, both to
brewers aud grower. We should lake
these statements "cum itrauo sails,"
and be 011 our guard against these men
who evidently wish us to sell our crops
at leas than cost. Let us examine a
little Into the situation for ourselves.
In the first place we know that never
In the history of the trade have bops
been so closely bought up and con
sumed as at present. There Is prac
tically no stock, exoept a very few old
olds on hand. This being the case, let
us examine loto the requirements of
the present year.
How many bops will our consumers
take? We know the brewers are get
ting very near the 20,000,000 barrels of
beer to be brewed. By their own state
ments that means fully L"JO,000 bales ol
hops. We know that the balanoe 01
our crop is consumed In England. But
we are told England has an enormous
crop We will admit that, but since
she has leas than rl!,000 acres. It Is Im
possible for her to furnish all her re
quirements. The statement published
by the Londou Times seems to be the
most reliable that has been made. Id
It, it Is claimed that England will raise
620,000 cwt. To do that she must
equal her rate per acre of 1894. Let us
admit that she does It, then the ques
tion ia, what are England' -i require
ments? By this same statement we
see that her average consumption for
the past fourteen years has been
061,440 cwts. But It Is not fair to take
this average because her beer consump
Hon has beeu on the tncreate Just as
ours has. Let us, then, take the aver
age for the past Ave years, since we
know that she has no stock left over.
From these figures we find her oon
Humptlon Iibb been 087,000 cwt. By
deducting her estimated growth of
520,000 cwt, we Mud that she will still
require 107,000 cwt, and that equals
104,000 bales at 180 pounds to the
bale.
Comparing England's imports with
our own exports we And that In late
year- she has obtained her principal
supply from this country, or about two
thirds of her imports. At that rate
she will take 70,000 bales from us. Add
this amount to our own consumption,
220,000 bales, aud we And that we
should be able to market 290,000 bales
of our crop of 1899. Now, have we
crown 299,000 bales of hops in the
United States this year? I don't be
lieve we have, and if we have not
where Is this surfeit of bops that these
interesting dealers have been telling
about? It cannot be in Germany, be
cause we note that the market is very
active at higher prices, showing that
the brewers are much In need of hops.
It, therefore, rests with our own pro
ducers whether we shall obtaiu a fair
aud remunerative price for our orop.
Another feature Is that there will be
a wide divergence In quality of hops
raised In New York, Oregon and
Washington. Only the good sound
samples will be taken at first, and I
can see no reason why they should not
be worth quite as much if not more,
than the same quality brought last
year.
I remain yours truly,
O. Hydk Clarke.
