That the life of the world has changed more in -the last century thaa la a thousand years before thattlme Is directly due. to the Influ ence npon Industry of the modern system of manufacturing. ; When the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker passed off the stage to 'make way for the beef trust, the cracker trust and the steel trust the 'change affected every soul In Christendom.. The development of ma chinery and power which substitute the modern shoe factory for the old ilashloned cobbler's bench is responsible for many changes, some of them evil but most of them good. Whatever our private opinion nay 'be as to 'the preponderance of good or evil, the change has come and Ithe era of Individual industry Is as much a part of the Inexorable past a the relgn'of Rameses n. -r - , ::;' 7 f v;-'': ifaiv",?-- k 4 Effects of OKaag.

Yet if It had not been for the cotton gin the south would iaot have planted cotton fields, slavery -would have died as It did in New Eng land f its own unprofitablenessand the whole course of our national history would have been different.

It Is entirely probable that the Ameri can of 0 years hence Will he unable to find anything of the vintage ot 1101 except In a museum. , Xakta. of Glass. Look about you. The glass tn the window Is made by a process entirely unknown a century ago. , It ia much clearer, but It is also much more brittle and much cheaper. Olass making was once a trade it is now a business. The desk before you it came from Grand Rapids, and each piece of wood in it was out by- a machine which cut 10,000 other pieces of identical slse and shape. And you know that there are 10,000 other desks just like yours. Ninety yeara ago your deak would have been made by your own cabinetmaker at the village wood shop. . The radiator steam heat and the steel trust were alike un dreamed of SO years ago. Perhaps you or your Jit tie son has a dollar watch. The men who work in the factory where those watches are made ' get higher wage than the watchmaker of the first of the century. Vet no one . of them con id make a whole watch.-' -. Tne individual artisan could not have made a watch for anything like so lit tle cost . The dollar watch was made possible by machinery and collective in dustry. .,.-.:--,.':...,'..,..- The progress of this development Is by no means completed. The changes or the coming nine decades will be many and wonderful. - There can be little doubt that the separation of the work man from all voice in the direction of his labor, caused by the Introduction of the modern system, wiu do moainea. The workman will have a certain share In the direction of affairs, and capital will be none the less profitable because it , recognises jlhat. right v , ; , , -. Factory and Home. -V V ,.. - As the' homes of today are fitted up with scores of factory-made articlea which were unheard of a generation ago. ao the homes of the next genera tion will be chan red by the progress of Industrial' art The demand for manu factured thing's will continue - to - in crease. Let the doubter think this over 20 years afro there wasn't such a thing as a ready-cooked cereal breakfast food. Today the money spent for advertising by the ready-cooked food is more than the amount paid for all uncooked cereal breakfast foods consumed then. ' The promise of increased demand is grat etui, - because It - is only ' upon that basis that the manufacturing lntereats can- hope to keep up with the march of progresa predicted - for - the -remainder of thla century. If the- development should be In the ' same ratio as the growth of the- last (0 years,- the fac tories of the United States .would have an output many times greater than that of the whole - world today. , Not only greatly Increased population and wealth, : hut a rraater . Individual demand -far manufactured articles will be necessary to sustain - the relative Importance of manufactures. That all of these condi tions will be met is as certain as any thing In future can be. , When the year 2,000 comes the Indus try and trade of this country will be greater In extent than that of the whole world today. That is. If we progress only one tenth as rapidly In the future as we have In the past The- waste of the present methods - of -manufacture will be stopped.' Principles of economy wnl be applied to industry and trans portation so that there will bs ao lost motion. , - -- ' . .s Wasted la Bmoke, 1 The Industrial world today knows that a ton of coal under a gas engine will give three times aa much power as the same ton of coal .under a steam en gine.' Yet steam engines still prevail. The United States -of 9 years hence will not permit that wasted energy to float out of Its .smokestacks. Every stream in the country with a sufficient fall of water will be utilised for the manufacture of electrio current from water power, eliminating the fuel prop osition from a large percentage of the factories of the country. - - Transportation will be a science 90 years hence. Instead of the enigma It ia today. The railroads will carry . the profitable high-class freight, while low class slow freight will be transported on inland waterways. The country con fesses today that ft does not under stand the problems of transportation, but it also announces that It is- deter mined to study the subject until it does understand it., Ninety years - will see the means of transportation separated I from the stock gambling business to be conducted on sound principles in the In terest of transportation. .. .; ; By the year 2,000 the reforested areas of the country will be yielding magnifi cent returns, and the folly of the reck less denudation of the mountains will have , been expiated and atoned for. A system will be in force by which the forests- will furnish each year, a suf ficient amount of lumber for necessary uses, the while restoring Itself auto matically. About tha,t time the. ques tion of oneninr the government fuel deposit j reserves will be a live topic, and the wisdom of the policy of con servation of natural resources will be proved.'

Not all of the processes of the modern system of man ufacture are superior to the old-fashioned way. 'But long before the year 2000 the newspapers will be printed on paper made from cotton stalks, or corn stalks, or some other plant which can be grown as an annual crop. The effect of new 'and unindlcated changes in Industry cannot be esti mated, but If present conditions are car ried forward V their natural results the industrial life of tne . fullgrown America will be wonderful beyond the grasp of our Imaginations.

Owner of II full gold quarts claims, adjacent to Murray, in the celebrated Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, mining district, requiring ' a few more thousand dollars to carry the development of its mine to the producing point, has decided to sell in Portland 80,000 shares of its treasury stock to consummate that purpose. The exact location of this property is three miles west of ' Murray, in region any Idaho miner will 'inform the Inquirer is fabulously rich in not only gold, but silver and lead as well, OurMine is Immensely Rich in Both Gold and Galena Its worth is established beyond all question. This has been demonstrated over and over, in the nine tunnels we have driven, some of them 300 to 400 feet in length. In these we have cut many rich veins of ore, and now we are to begin cross- cutting on these veins, and as sure as the sun shines from the sky above before many months our 220 acres of ground will , be turning out gold at a rate that will pay tremendous dividends to every stockholder. This is the history of the district. Wienorrnously ricn m tne P10118 metals, and none ever had better prospects than this very property.
