A rawhide muzzle-loading cannon was tested last week at Sandy Hook by ;the ordiuance board ot the United States army. The gun resisted a pressure ot 30.3G0 pounds to the square inch, when further tests were made impossible by the breaking of the iron gun carriage. The nun is to be further tested within a few days. It looks like going back to first prin ciples 10 aboriginal artillery, as it were to construct a gun of rawhide and to load it at the muzzle. The gun is the in vention of Frederick La Tulip, a French man, who liveB in Syracuse, N. Y., and the moneyed man ot the concern is a saloonkeeper, John H. Link, also of Syracuse. La Tulip has patented other things made of rawhide, and believes that his leather sun is going to revolu tionize modern warfare. The army officers expected to see the gun blow out of existence at the first test, which was 5.471 pound to the square inch. They made quite a Jpke of the affair, and nobody was so astonished as these experts when the improved iron carriage was finally broken, leaving the queer hide gun intact. The principal claims made for tho gun are that it weighs only about one-half as much as an ordinary steel gun ; that it is just as durable and much stronger than steel, aud that any number of shots can be fired from it iu rapid succession without heating. Tho model gun, which is being tested, is 5 feet S inches long and 2.. inch cali ber, weighing 156 pounds, and is made up of layers ofeteel, rawhide and copper wire. Major Thipps, of the ordinance board, sayH the'gun must be of breccb loading to be of practical value. La Tulip says the rawhido is juet as good for breech loadere as for muzzle loaders.

Iron and Prosperity. The iron indu'try lies so near the foun dation of commercial prosperity that great siguifieace attaches to the rapid aud steady increase of activity iu that busi ness at the great producing centers. This increase is must notable. For the first time iu many years the mills at l'ittaburg are ruuuiug through the hot season ; the manufacturers cau uot all'ord to slop- During the pan fort uight mills that have been idle for two years hae been leased aud will be put iu operation. And it in estimaied that there arc more .ueu at work in the steel, iron and tin trades that at any time since tho panic, earniug larger wages ami assured ol bleady employment into nest year. All this is made possible by the in create iu the price of steel billets, ou which wages and bueiuess are bised. And this increase is caused by the larger demand for iron in its structural aud com mercial forms for use in other industries. The country is building more, is uiauu facturiug more, is extending old enter prises and undertaking new o.ics, and the (lush times in the iron business uuly reflect the prosperi'y growing up all over the land.

No additional information concerning the building of the Coos Bay road to llosebnrg is ob tainable from tho powers that be. Mr. Samuel says, regarding the coal mine along the line of road, that in a few days a large hoisting engine will arrive at the mine, and when it is in running ordor the daily output will be two hundred tons. He is very positive in his decla ration that it is acknowledged to be the best coal ever discovered in Oregon. A strong statement, and as gratifying to that part of the country, aa it ia strong. They do not admit the supremacy of any coal that eome3 from Washington. By implication this should please you of ot Roseburg. Ten years ago there was a spasm of fear in San Bernardino county, Cali fornia, that there would be an overpro duction of apricots, and orchards wero uprooted and the- land appropriated to other purposes. During the year 1894 the product of tho apricot crop iu Cali fornia waa 100,000 tons, wbich sold at an average of $25 per ton, equivalent to $2, 500,003. Tlie estimali.-d yield for this year is 23,000 tons (.the loss being attrib utable to the effect of frostj with prices but little advanced over those of 1S9I. Tho incident is interesting iu the partic ular that it does not necessarily follow that large productiou is an overproduc tion. It goes to establish the correctness of the proposition that consumers arc willing to pay certain prices for apricots, prunes and other fruit. How cau it w contended that because $l,750,OJO more was paid for apricots in lS'Jl than iu 1893, that prices would have been less this year, if there had been a full crop. In fact it cannot be successfully denied that 200,000 tons could not have been sold this year at same prices. The demand for frnit is enormous. It borders on the fabnloiH. Investigation leads to startling results. It may not be difficult to realize something of the mag nitude of the consumption, after the re flection that ?2,500,0-J was paid for one fruit product from one state in 1894 It is an accented fact that the very best quality of prunes grow in Oregon. Such admission being made by fruit dealers generally, whence cometh tho correctness of opinions of t'e constitu tional demoralizers that the prune crop of Oregon will Le in excess of demand? On what sort of a logical structure do they hang their fears? Why are not same It is well known to prune growers that agents from the East are now iu Oregon and California making engagements for this years' delivery. Prices for choice varieties and sizes are satisfactory to prodncers. An interesting inquiry is, what are sat isfactory prices, as on this proposition hangs the law and the profits. If in Douglas county the prune crop is the most profitable one, it reasonably follows that it should bo a mast satisfactory oue. Presuming to the contrary leaves the alternative than no crop whatever would bo satisfactory. Kuuwiug to the con trary however, the question arises, why should not an additional 10,000 acres in Douglas county be profitably employed iu grjtving them. If the connty ta ac knowledged to produce the finest primes, uot only in quality, but size, why land adapted to their growing remains idlo aud of iuditTeieut value, is an inquiry prcseuted by your neighbors here, who regard tho expression of fear as ttupid aud absurd, that a few thousand acres more or less in additiou to what you have would effect au overproduction. In this connection it may be profitable for you to consider that but a trill ) of in formation regarding Oregon, aud uouo whatever regarding Douglas county, is obtainable iu San Fraueisco.
