But even that optimistic: etatesinau did uo foresee the time when, of the world's total production for its annual output of $2,000,000,000 worth of cotton goods, the United States whs to supply three -fourths-. For the ear ending June 30, 1905, America's cotton export were valued at 8410,(537,752, a against $410,205,053 for all other agricultural exports. Iq addition, the projifr'iis planters sold more thau S20O,0C0fO00 worth to feed the 25,000.000 t-pd:- 8 of thie country. And still tho Kiug is increa&iug in stature.

AH the g old mined in tLe world last year would have paid Southern farmers for only half their crop. The etory of cotton is the romance of industry. Bold figures cannot chill its recital. It is picturesque in every chapter; full cf warmth, color and appealing tradition. "From the instant it puts forth its tiny shoot,"' said the late Henry V Orady, "the cotton ii gold. Its fibre is current in every bank, and when, loosing its tleeces to the sau, it floats a snowy banner that glorifies the fields of the humbl? farmer, that man is marshaled under a flag that will compel the allegiance of the world and wriDg a subsidy from every nttion on earth. Journal. SOLD ca MERITS J. A. Folger &Co.saaF, rartciico the road that the story was not ov r- Iinwn. There is a stretch of roa) between H j do ii n 1 Sanderson, a iliwtance of 'ni'jre than 200 n i i b, which ai-ema to be i lavoiite running course for jack abbiis. The night tiuins over this div Mori are unable to n eke anything ike pcheiiul) t'nie on account of this in pediment. The tr.iin rep irts carry notations every duy n ading something lika this : "I,-st twenty minutes between "jpotrard and Uvuldi on account of jack 'abbits." Tiia cause of this rabbit plague is be-it-ved to be due principally to the settling up of the country and the kill iiH5 off of tlie coyotes and lobo wolves, which are about the only enemies which the rapid-running jack rabbit f ars. In former times the multitnde of coyotoa and wclves feasted upon jacS abbits. The coyotes are wily in their ir.ell od of capturing the long eared game. In a straightway chase the jack rabbit can easily out distance the coy ote. The latter knows this full well, and a double- ip game is played to bring about the capture of the jack racbit. Two coyotes take part in the chase. One runs tbe quarry until tired and the other drops io and continues tbe chase. This method of pursuit is made possible by the jck rabbits' well-known plan of running in a circuit. Resolutions of Condolence. Oregon Laborers Prosperous. "From the large number of reports received from laborers of the different clashes, classified as miscelleneous, from ail parts of the state and embrac ing every kind of employ merit,"-save Commissioner Iloff in an editorial on labor ia bis biennial report in couise of compilation, "it ia deduced that the condition of labor in this state, gen erfcliy speaking is very satisfactory, and comparatively few suggestions or recom mendations are made whereby it could be bettered." Commissioner Hoff sent out over 100 sets of questions to as many laborers engaged in various kinks of work in different parts of the state, and the re plies he received ae of a very op timistic nature, and indicate that at no time in the history of tbe state has there been snch a demand for labor, waged so high, nor the laboring element bo busy, happy and prosperous a9 at the present tima. Those answering repre sent almost every kind of labor imag inable, and, continuing, Mr. HolT says: Ia no case was the uages below 3-6 per month for nich labor as farm hands, which includes botrd and lodging, while in tie majority of instances the ealaries received tane from $15.' to $3 per dv an-i better. The average work ing hours per day is a bo it 13, and com paratively h'.tls time ia spent ia idle ness. A:l report there is plenty of work fjr the askii-g, in every pait oi the fcUte, and, in fact, there is a great de rnatd for laborers of every kind. A larwe percentage of thoae reporting own tueir own homes, and are able to eave from f 100 to $400 per year out of their earn:rys." At a regular communication of Hepp ner Lodge No. 09, A. F. & A, M., held in their hall on the 6th day ot October 1906, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, it has pleased the Great Architect of the universe to remove from onr midst cur beloved brother, Frnk C. Adkins, and Vhereaj, It is but just that a fitting recognition if his name and virtues should b-i had, then fore be it Resolved, Ly Heppner Lodge No. 69, A. F. & A. M., that while we bow in humbla tubmifesion to tbe will of that one b.-fore whom all Masous bend tbe knee in reverence, we do not the less mourn for our brother, who has been taken from us. Ilia labors are ended here below, but he has entered upon the higher and nobler life which can only be reached through the portaU of death. To the tamily and friends of oar be loved b-other, Frank C. Adkios, who, a a Mason, laDored faithfully upon the Temple until called from his work by the Mister Builder of the universe, we tender our heartfelt sympathy.

Patterson. Oregon Wool 1'roductlou. Commissioner O, P.

LSSTE I Have Something to Tell You Cured Himself of Consumption. London, Oct, 13 "Everyone his own sanitorium" will soon be the latest cry. Elaborate buildings are said to be no longer necessities in tbe cure of con sumption. An incident occurred dur ing the erection of the fast sanatorium, when for a year a consumptive mason, who worked on the premises, lived and slept in a tent with its flap open to all weathers, and was cured before the sanitorium opened, Now a similar case of self-trea'ment is reported. In this case alio the cure was complete. Four years ago, when 18 years of age, Mr. Smith, of Kettering, caught a chill, which developed into pulmonary tuber culosis. The usual sanitorium being out of the question, a private one, was built in the small garden. It is a "Summer-house," about nine feet square, built of match-boarding, and its roof covered with felt. It is, of course, rain-proof. Of three sides the windows form quite half the walls there are, in fact, 12 windows in all, and biz (the two end windows in each wall) open. With the exception of the couch, a chair and a table, there waa no furniture. The cost of the whole waa about $70. There young i'm th remained ell day.
