WHERE THERE IS MONEY IN
..Hi
f'
ETAtUMA. CaliforniaJacordin to a recent ac
credited statement, produces about 50,000 dozen
'eeo a week. Sonoma county, in which Petalutna
is situated, shows annually a poultry product of $1,750,000.
Poultry ranches there range from two to 20 acres and
have from 500 to 6,000 chickens each.' Brown leghorns
' are the favorites, and are partly marketed for broilers at
50 or 60 days age. . These bring fat returns, but the best
profits are from eggs. A six-months-old pullet of good
breed cannot be bought in Petalutna for, less 'than $1,23.
It is only the young roosters that are -marketed.
'. Petalutna is situated with reference to. San Francisco
- somewhat as Forest Grove'-pr Gresham
. that is, it is near a large maricei; ana
not as lares. a market in itself as San
places ttfat a Urge part of the year are
plied from here constitute a market tor many times tne
quantity of poultry and eggs produced in this region.
Orearon is as rood a poultry : state as , California.
southern Oregon is peculiarly adapted to -turkeys, but
chickens can be raised anywhere krohnd Portland as well
and probably as profitably as they are ift-Petalutni.
The question recurs, therefore, and will recur: jWhy
don't a lot of people make a lot of money producing poul
try and eggs (or this market? , , .; ' "

GENERAL FITZHUGH LEE was a man of much
.' prominence " in the, south'. Snd his name was
. known to the people of the nation but he never
stood forward conspicuously, before the whole country
ir until the very lively days preceding the breaking ut of
the Spanish-American war. He had been s?n to .Ha

V -cause of , the acute condition of affairs there When; the
McKinley administration .entered upon its' term of office
i he was continued in th position.; No man could hsve
. better fulfilled the onerous duties which were then laid
upon hi'm. ,iie fully met every, requirement and rose to
." every expectitiot, His duties were delicate and difficult
and all the people of. the country learned to have the
' most profound confidence in him. After the blowing up
v of the Maine his poiittonrbecame almost untenable but to
the very last he maintained himself with dignity and dis
cretion that was worthy of all pfaise. 't . . '
Subsequently the administration showed its apprecia
, ' tion, while at the same time it took a long step toward
the complete union in heart, spirit andjiim. of the whole
Country, by appointing him to command an army corps
" and subsequently giving him a place in the regular estab

would welcome the act duplicated and

whatever may be the cult they establish,

remained with them what It bad been
before an act ef hospitality, not ons
of worship. But ths spirit of it Is for
aver a nart of Christianity. Our life te

others. The Christian life is the very
spirit of unselfishness, ."ot BJiruvsm,

"It ye know these things, happy ars

parting admonition (v. 17). Our happM

Intellectual comprehension of the prin

plying , those principles to our dstly
conduct The power as well as ths peace
of a Christian life will be found In hu
