Nature's agent. It may be either sun

"When the smelter starts it will be

This will, of course, reduce the cost of
smelting the ore to some extent. The
smelter was built about a year ago and
given a trial run. It was bum down
chiefly because of a shortage of ore, but
dn,u n.an .1 l.iriro amount of ore has
been accumulated for a good run.
"The most important mining event at
Sumpter for the year has been the start

known to the Oregon mining men as the
E & K. The mine was making a big

and gutted and nothing was done till last
f ill, when Jonathon Bourne, of Portland,
got entire control. The mine is now
working from oO to 75 men. The 20
stamp mill has been working for about
a month.
"It is not our intention to furnish pow
er for the mines, but just for the town
and the smelter. We will also furnish
water. We have put about $23,000
worth of improvements in the plant at
North Yakima during the past year, have
installed a new reservoir at Centralia,

Washington, June 15, The State De-
,?artriient is advised by Consul-General
"o9ier, at Ottawa, that the Canadian
government has ordered that, "Expor
tation, for the purpose of canniog or
manufacture, of fresh salmon in trapnets
:n waters of British Columbia is prohi
bited." This order is the result of long-pend-.
rig confeiencee of the Canadian officials
nj is aimed at the Puget Sound pack
ers, who have been buying British Col
rrti'da fish and packing them in Wash
ington canneries. The State Department
ias not determined whether it is advisa
ble Toi this (jlovernment to take retalia
xry steps and impose a like restriction
vn American or Puget Sound salmon.
Senator Fulton had this matter up with
ecretary Hay last winter, but the de
partment would not act, inasmuch as the
Canadian government had not then pro
-av!';ated its restrictive orders. It may
e diet legislation will be necessary to
revert the selling of Puget Sound sal
mon to Canadian packers. If so, a bill
ior tir.s purpose will be pressed at the
short session of Congress this winter. It
is believed the State Department will
'ecommend sueh legislation.
St. Louis, June 15. Before departing
for New York at noon today, Prince Pu
Lun announced himself as a self-appointed
committee of one to secure China's
participation in the Lewis and Clark ex
position to be held in Portland, Or., in
1905. The Prince remarked to Theodore
Hardee, assistant to Secretary Walter B.
Stevens, that he was very much im
pressed with the American idea of cele
brating the anniversaries of great events
with big expositions, and declared be
would use every effort to secure Chinese
participation at Portland.
Prince Pu Lun will be accompanied as
far as New York by Sir Cheng Tung Li
ang Cheng, Chinese Minister at Wash
ington, and the Imperial Vice Commis
sioner to the World's Fair, Mr. Wong
Kai Nah. From New Y'ork, the Prince
will proceed to Paris, where he will re
main until the middle of July, reaching
China in time to participate in the fes
tivities of the Emperor's birthday.

Salem, Or., June 15. Attorney-General
Crawford rendered an opinioo today,
holding that where the state has Bold
land to which it has no title, the pur
chaser is entitled to repayment, even
though he is more than one year delin
quent in his payment of deferred install
ments. There is a statute which pro
vides that where a purchaser becomes
more than one year delinquent the cer
tificates of sale shall become void, and
the payments already made shall bfc for

forfeiture does not apply to cases where
the state had no title to the land sold.

An insurrection has broken out
in the province of San Luis, Bra
zil, and the governor has been im
prisoned. With the avowed purposejof re
ducing expenses, the Erie railroad
has during the past four months
discharged 4500 men, but now
calls a halt.
The Nebraska towns are filling up
with farmers who have retired from
agricultural pursuits to take life at ease
and educate their children, says a re
cent Lincoln report.
Prot-yenty has prevailed on the farms
for five or six years, and the farmers
of the west are showing their philosoph
ical view of life by retiring before they
are too old to njoy the fruits of their
toil.
None of them are rich in the metro
politan sense of the term. They don't
let-1 themselves rich. All they have is
a competence, but their early life away
irom the temptations of the town has
taught them frugality and they have no
particular uesirt to put on style. Usual
ly when they come to town they go out
to some modest suburb where the pric
of property is low.
They spend $2,000 or $3,000 for a
hoiise and lot, iix things up comfortably
and taijoy themselves. Their wants are
easily saii-'ikd. They have not the
the-ater-guing habit nor the society
habit; they have learned how to get
what they think is good out of life with
out Indulging in many of its frivolities.
Measured by their ambitions and their
wants thy are as well off as any mil
lionaire possibly better. They have
enough and are satisfied.
It it possible for a farmer to retire
on a much smaller amount than mont
men who have investments in other
classes of property. A merchant may
get out of active life but lea vt his money
in his store without feeling that it is
safe. Banks, too, may fail, and the
price of stocks is liable to fluctuate. It
is different with the farm. Nebraska
land has a very stable value, and even
in panicky days could be sold for fair
prices. To-day it is high, but a good
living is assured; and if the harvest is
big and prices are good there is a large
addition to the surplus and money for
any little indulgences.
Those farmers who prefer to stick to
the farm for a little while longer are
demon et rating, their possession of a
bank balance by improving the appear
ance of their farms. Lincoln con
tractors have sent 30 or 40 carpenters
out into the rural districts to build new
barns and houses in the laat six weeks.
Out in southwestern Nebraska, in the
new wheat section, there is a land boom
on, an overlap from Kansas, where
speculators are forcing up prices. The
short grass country wallowed in big
crops this year, and there is scarcely any
government land left in that section of
either Kansas or Nebraska. Rtal estate
agents have been running harvest excur
sions into the country and syndicate
buying is now a feature of the business,
whole parties of emigsants from eastern
states bf ing landed and settled in the
&ame neighborhood on newly purchased
lauds.

Chance and war, chiefly war, have
thrown together groups of people with
unlike interests, states the Youth's
Companion. Wherever the interests con
ilict, their effort to get along together
succeeds but indifferently, or falls alto
gether. The most recent example of failure
is the break-up of the republic of Co
lombia, which occurred when the people
in the department of Panama decided
that they would submit no longer to neg
lect by the central government, a neglect
of which the rejection of the canal
treaty was only the culminating Inci
dent. The struggle is still going on in Austria-Hungary,
where two nations, dif
fering in race, are trying to live under
one government. The emperor-king is
able to keep hie empire together only
by making frequent concessions to the
Magyars. His consent. In November,
to the larger use of the Hungarian lan
guage in the army was forced from him
at the price of breaking the deadlock
which had left Hungpry without a min
