BEST IN UNION. Iowa Expert Says Dairying Conditions Excel His State. Salem- That Oregon can produce butter cheaper than any other state in tba Union and that Oregon creamery men are nevertheless figuring on Im porting cream from Minnesota, were startling asaertlona made at a dairy men's meeting ber last week. Proleeaor McKay, of tba dairy de partment of tba Iowa btaU Agricultural college, was tbs principal speaker. He said that although bis state produces more butter than any other stale, Be freely acknowledgtd that this Is a more advantageous region for dairying, for tba reason tbat tbe climate Is less sub ject to such extreme conditions. lie said Oregon should not Import a pound of butter, but should be an exporter when tbat product can ba shipped to New York for centa a pound and to Liverpool lor ti cents. Us urged the extension of dairying as means ol re taining farm fertility. Director Jamas Withycombe, of the Oregon experiment station, aald that tha dairy products In this state, this year will have a value ol $8,000,000 and In a few years dairying will sar- pasa lumbering, wblob is now our greatest wealth producing Industry.

BALANCE FAVORS ISLANDS, Philippine Exporta Exceed Imports First Time Since Annexation, Washington, July 24. Tba two most ootewortby features of tb commercial retnrns of the Philippine Island for 1U5 ar a balance In favor of tb la lands for tbs first cslendar year period in tba history ol tb America occupa tion, and tb advance ol American goods to tba first tank In tbo import trad. Tba favorable trad balance I due to Increased export value, which aggregated $33,464,744, or more than $4,000,000 In sxoess of tb export for 1904. An Increase of $600,000 in American trad in 1005 with tb Is lands, combined with a decline in rice import, give to tb United Bute tbe lead, and In view ol tha anticipated further decline In tb demand for for eign ric In the islands, tb United Bute is expected to continue to In crease Its lead. Tb increaaa ol $2,000,000 in tb import from tb United 8 late in the last five year I largely made np ol import ol iron and steel and their manufactures; cotton, raw and manu factured, and illuminating oil. Tbe Iron and steel trade approximated $3, 000,000 in value. Great Britain gained most in tba Iron and steel trade with tha Islands, but tbs United States takes tb lead, whereas Great Britain waa formerly in tte lead. There is still great room for Improvement In tha ex porta from the United Btatea to tbs Is lands. CANNED MEAT EXPORTS. Jspan Used Lars; Quantities During War With Ruaala. Washington, July 24.

No Housss for Hundreds Who Would Return to San Franclaco. Ban Francisco, July 24. Ban Fran cisco's greatest need is homes. Xbe people who were driven from tbe city at tbe time of the disaster are eager to return, several thousand laborers are Imperatively needed to aid in the work of rebuilding, but there are no bouses for them Tbe rehabilitation commit tee has set to work to furnish relief, but tha resources at its command will admit of only slight assistance. This committee will build some 3,000 homes for workmen, but this will not even serve to bouse the thousands still liV' ing in tents. It is to individual initiative that tbe city must look. Evidences tbat this will be forthcoming are beginning to appear. In tbe Richmond district, the sec tion located between Golden Gate park and the neck of the bay, several homes are being erected and hava been rented in advance. Btill it Is to the stretch of land south of Market street that the people must look for the rebuilding of homes in suf ficient quantity to solve the problem. Here dwelt tbe thousands of the city's poorest and 1. is to this section that they wish to return. Unbreakable Passenger Car. Washington, July 24.
