It were bettei foi a man to be subject to any other vice, than to drunkenness; for nil other vanities and sins are recovered, but a drunkard will never shake off the delight of his beastliness. Sir Walter Italelgn. A PROPHET SPEAKS. James J. Hill, the greatest financial Kenius of the Northwest, who has made more business prophecies (and Jived to see them fulfilled) than any other living financial-, makes some sti iking remarks on present business tendencies and possible changes that are likely to take place in the finan cial situation of the United States. 3Mr. Hill Is no idle talker. His great success has been hunt upon the ineagerness of talk and the versatility of action. His review of the country is worthy of being repeated and is worthy of thoughtful nction. "The business of the country is undergoing a readjustment to meet 'Changed conditions," says Jlr. Hill. "The most alarming thing is the de crease in our exports. We are im porting much more than we export. This is not due to a larger home con sumption; It is because our articles cost too much. Our people demand better things than do thoso of other countries and our production has been lovertaklng the needs of the country too rapidly. The things wo inanufac Jture cost moro than other nations will pay and they buy elsewhere. Agricul tural products, provisions and such things sell readily everywhere. They are not affected by local conditions. I do not look for the production of articles of a cheaper Hind to meet tho demands o the export trade. I do not know what will bo done. "It is hoped that some adjustment will bo made to meet tho conditions. There Is too much speculation now, nnd too much boom. Just how it will :ome out I do not know." "The most alarming thing Is the decrease of exports," the great floods of manufactured goods, failing of a ready outlet, and the resultant clos ing of mills, one by one. This bor. out of employment, will spread over the country, like the river rises and overflows its banks when ob stiucteil business will be congested, transportation companies will find tho gieat export carrying trade diopping off. Its stimulating influence will leave the channels of trade. The les soned demand for farm products In pioaperous times luxuries are al ways in demand and sell for high prices. A stroll along tho botileaids and parkways of Chicago discloses a largely Increased use of Shetland ponies. Not a week passes but what theie are numerous Inquiries In the Chicago market for ponies both by t piivate parties and piol'essionnl deal-j ers. I , The demand has more than doubled i in volume the last two seasons, while ! prices are also correspondingly 1 higher. 1 Consumeis are not so paiticular about the diminutive equine being full bloods so long as the size Is sat-' IM'actory.

This trade Is now diminishing, ac cording to Mr. Hill's statement nnd "production is fast overtaking the demands." When that condition comes, when the stream of export trade is obstructed, tho waters will back up and spread over the land and stagnation will veign where industry is humming today. THE RANGE QUESTION. The agitation coming from Haker county in favor of a law limiting the glazing of sheep on the public do main, to within two miles of the set tlement, brings to mind tho splendid sentiment expressed by O. D. Teel at the recent irrigation convention in Pendleton. "Stock raising, mining, agriculture, lumbering and mercantile pursuits stand side by side In Eastern Oregon, much more favorable 1 1 than in the Shetland islands It is the diminutive specimens that com-1 I mand the best prices and are in most I urgent demand. Wealthy families 1 ! have learned there is nothing surpass ing the pony as a plaything for child-, ren: the youngster never tires or the amusement of riding or driving these 1 toy horses. The ownership of a pony stimulates t mental and physical activity and pro-! motes growtli nnd health of children by encouraging them to pleasant ims-' time In the open air and sunshine conditions favorable to health and symmetrical growth. Parents who can afford the luxury will find It a superlative Investment to present the children with a pony to ride or drive. Drovers' Journal. Have Your Water Pipes Examined and Repaired at Once.
