CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTH
Mr. H. W. Scott, of the Oregom-
an, has recently traveled through the
South, and the editorial columns of
his paper are now reflecting what he
saw in this favored land. A recent
article is as follows:
"It is a fact that in our southern
states, or most of them, there is a
steady, quiet and general prosperity
that does not exist in the North. It
does not show itself in feverish en
ergy, but is apparent in the easy and
settled movements of industry and
mercantile life. It has its basis in
the moderation and contentment of
the people, working in the many and
great natural resources of the South
ern states. Mr. E. St. John, a well-
known railroad man, now of Ports
mouth, Va., vice-president of the
Atlantic Seaboard Line, in a talk
published in the Oregonian one day
last week, dwelt upon the fact that
our southern states are much less
affected by the depression of business
and industry than the state of the
North ; that there have been no seri
ous business reverses in the South,
and that the conditions of an order
ly and growing prosperity are in
operation there, uninterrupted by
the hard times of which there has
been so much complaint in most of
the northern states." -
A local in this issue notes the effect
of a "giant" that got loose. It is al
most impossible for the mind to
realize the tremendous force ot a
body of water shot from a nozzle.
With 900 feet pressure, equal to
about 400 pounds to the square inch,
the sti iking force of a stream of
water is simply astounding; big
bowlders weighing Ions can be rolled
around as easily as a kitten rolls a
ball of yarn. At Grass Valley, Cal
ifornia, several years ago a giant got
loose and the stream tore the side
out of one of the miners, just as a
cannon ball would. In Washoe val
ley the water pipes running from
Marlette lake to Virginia City burst.
The pressure was something more
than 1600 feet, and before the water
could be shut off at the head it came
near washing the valley away.
John E. Curtis, living in Deering,
Me., a town few people outside of
the state of Maine ever heard of, ac
cumulated a fortune of 12,000,000,
nearly all of which he bequeathed to
charitable purposes. Among the
beneficiaries may be mentioned wid
ows, aged men and aged women,
hospitals, free public libraries 'and
benevolent fraternities and societies.
"Whatever may be said about the
methods ot obtaining it, there has
never been a time in the history of
the world when so large a propor
tion of the accumulated wealth of
the rich went finally into the hands
of the poor as now. Religious in
stitutions may not receive as much
as in former ages, but charitable in
stitutions get a grest deal more.
The New York Journal of Com-,
merce has recently shown from the
reports of the United States mint
that between 1873 and 1896 there
has been an increase in the world's
supply of mcney as follows: Silver
coin, $2,498,000,000; gold coin, $1,
580,000,000, and the Journal alleges
that this 'is the most stupendous in
flation of metallic money in the his
tory of currency." We will wager
that in spite of this "stupendous in
flation" the Journal of Commerce is
not overburdened with "metallic
money." East Oregonian.
Mr. Astor, grandson of old John
Jacob, who made a fortune dealing
in furs, caused Astoria to be on the
map and Wa&hingtota Irving to write
the interesting story of its settle
ment, is mad. No less a personage
than the queen of England has slight
ed him, or rather his paper. The
amusing part of the affair is the
openly-expressed chagrin which Mr,
Astor indulges in. He should come
over to this side of the pond, quit
monkeying with royalty, and run a
good, solid American paper, as we
do.
Armor DeCosmos is dead, passing
in hi checks July 5th at Victoria.
He crossed the plains in 1858, pack
ing the name of John Smith with
him. In California he had bis name
changed by the legislature to the
broad and suggestiye title "A lover
of the world." It is said that he
made the longest speech on record,
talking against time as a member of
the British Columbia legislature, and
(if we remember correctly) speaking
for twenty-four hours. He made
the legislature tired ; but he won his
point.

FARMING IN FO

Germany has recently been import

Live bees can now be forwarded
through the post ofiiee all over the
French territory.
An international show of stallions
will be held in Vienna October 14-17 at
the instigation of the royal ministry of
agriculture.
A BPECtAi, commission has been or
dered by the Trench parliament, to

The mahog-any tree thrives in Banga
lore, India, where a plantation has
been raised and will be maintained by
the forestry department..
The importation of sheep from Den
mark, owing- to the spread of foot and

An agent of the Xew Zealand gov

after its arrival in England is shipped

FASHIONABLE FANCIES.
Sleeves have reached their limit
and the most approved models are less
balloon-like than heretofore.
A i'opvxap. combination is very fine
French cloth with sleeves, belt and
shoulder-ruffles of shaded velvet. .
Shaded velvets arc quite as popular
for summer as they were during the
winter. As millinery trimmings, when
judiciously rsed, nothing can be more
elegant and desirable.
New jackets have sleeves large
enough to accommodate the enormous
pufflness of the dress shoulders, and
while this, of course, accentuates the
size of the arm, that fact seems to be
no objection.
Parasols seem to have become mere
ly forms on which to exhibit the most
enormous quantities of lace and other
thin materials. The amouift of goods
that may be put into one of the fash
ionable parasols of the day is almost
past belief.
Lace and embroidery, embroidered
lace especially, will be among the
.leading trimmings for the summer.
JShere seems to be no limit to the ways
in which these beautiful garnitures
are used, as something new is brought
out almost every day. . .
