A fruit grower In Mendocino county, California, shipped 68,683 pounds of Bartlett pears, which were raised on four and one-Aalf acres of ground, and fc received $3 per ton for them under a contract made early In the season. Willamette University's new financial agent Is well-known throughout the Pacific Northwest. He is an enthusi ast In the up-building of this pioneer educational Institution, and the ap pointment Is. therefore, considered and excellent one. There ought to be many more wo men like Mrs. Tatter, of Polk county, who has sold 6,000 hers' eggs during the past few months. She is cream of tartar. There Is plenty of room In the Willamette valley for just such enterprlMng farmer. The imports of Africa amounted dur ing the past year to 9400.000,000, of whlchr $11,000,000 was furnished by the United States. The exports for the same time were 1330.000,000, of which, the United States took 110,000.000. The British colonies In Africa imported g-oods to the value of 1131.000,000, while the exports were over $132,000,000. The Bouth African RepubWc, or the Trans vaal. Imports over HM.000.000 and the exports are l"4,000.0O0. ( ! A STREET FAIR. The popular thing In the Mississippi Valley townajust now Is the street fair r festival, going by various names, to fit the different localities. Some of them pell the name of the town or thef state backwards, and take the result for the name of the fair festival. For Instance, the fair at Omaha last week was the Ak-aar-ben festival, held under the auspices of a society or organisation calling Itself the Knights of Ak-Sar- Is the only way hi which the basinet woman, cniplovd, la store or ofi&ce cn grt opca air e ends.

The Idea is to attract as many .-. of the4 country cousins as - posioe, with a view to securing their custom for the merchant of the particular town where the fair Is held, for the one visit, and for the future. The mer chants of one of the Iowa towns were somewhat disappoint ed to this. They got the crowd. AH their country cous- n m the show and enjoy themselves, and they were highly en tertained: but they did not ouy gooaa. They did not go to buy goods. 5 They went to see the show. But they , re k. cDcriment as a successful one. ot withstanding- this, and the n .Mtm.nt as a a-ood one. It was worth the cost and trouble for the advertise ment the town and the merchants re ceived. Perhaps such a fair wouia oe a good thing for Salem. HOW IT iMAY AFFECT US. Should hostilities break out between Great Britain and the Transvaal, It may result In a considerable Increase In our exports to South, Africa, or at least there will be more direct trading with that country and the payment of less money to British middlemen, says the Spokane Review. While the Unit ed States furnishes many commodities to South Africa, it is done through British houses. It is only to preserv ed meats that our people are able to do much direct trading. Nearly all other kinds of goods are first sent to England to "Toe labeled. England has furnished the salted meats for the Cape but 4hey feave been American hams, sides and shoulders which have first been sent to England to be cured and sold. South Africa Imported 13,292,643 pounds of ' soap, nearly aU of wh-lch came from Eng land and was made from American fat and cottonseed olL Of all the to bacco and cigars sent by England to the colony In 1898, the raw material was "produced In Virginia, North Caro lina and Kentucky. More than 65.000 gallons of vinegar made from Ameri can apples was Imported into South Africa, -and England supplied all but 1000 gallons. The Untied Kingdom sold over 5,000,000 dollars worth of cot ton goods In South vAfrtca and the raw material was mainly from the United States. I ' I While this country has done the pro ducing. Great j Britain as middleman has reaped a, good part of the profits. Perhaps -with a war on her bands her capacity to serve as the middleman may be lessened. If so, it will result to our advantages. ' . A PUBLIC MARKET PLACE. In Omaha trey have a novel scheme in the way of a public ntarket for the accomodation cf the fanners, garden ers and orchaijdlsts of the surrounding country. , The merchants and proper ty owners .on both sides cf cne of the principal elrelts, the length of two blocks, have given over to the city the right to rent the sidewalks and the street. The spar. are measured oft and numbered, each number covering enough ro"m for one waron to back up to the" sldevalk, and sufficient spare on the sidewalk 4n each case for the display of the wares ' of the pro ducer. Thene itumbcrtd spaces are auctioited oft once each year. The bids vary from 10 to $25, according to location. When a producer has bought the use of a locution, htf Is en titled to back his wagon up there ev ehy morning in the year, and to sell his proiluce therefrom, and from the amount of rootr. he Is ' allowed for display, on the sidewalk. Of he is en titled to allow his neighbor, or any one else, to do the same. In addition, he must pay 10 cents each day or the oue using the space for the day; must pay the 10 cents. A license commis sioner, with police powers, has charge, for the collection cf the licenses, the maintenance of order, sod the settle ment of disputes that may arise. The street In front of those two bkks pre sents a lively appearance, especially at this lme of the year.'- The re were displayed there, a few days ago, ty a very cosmopolitan crowd, dealing with a very cosmopolitan assemblage of buyers, Nebraska and Iowa raised apples, grapes, (tomatoes, potatoes, muskmelons, watrmelons, ground cherTfos, cucumbers; beans, and other fresh fruits and vegetables. Perhaps this would be a good thing for Salem. The difficulty would probably be to get the business men and proj-erty hotdera In any given block "to give over to the city the right to make such an arrangement. . In mo3t f the larger clUes of the East, the munici pal governments own market places, tn widen stands are rented to produc er for the display and sale of their products. The users must rsy for the privilege in aU cares which we have oraryed. Maybe Salem U too tman yet for a public market place.

There is a great deal of talk, vocal and In print, from time to time, aVut IHjesiblo combinations Of the transcwii- tineatal lines tcr the Porttrnd anl the Puget Sound business. The fcuthern Pacific, ; tlie Northern Pucif.c,. 5reat Nt-nlK rn and Un'on I'aclfla 4yttem aro 11 continually reaching cut fcr advantages in the Northwest Ce4d. But there is another railroad corporation, mm b!g and rich and poweifut a any f these, that is gouii; to figure In this Mtuatlon, and hat before very long, front pitotnt ludicatious. And no doubt ttere are others several nthers. But we rerte .to the - big Burlington system. . That read now has Its west ern . terminus up In Wyoinintf, an-1 It has recently bad and now has survey ing partus In the field, all the wy front lti Wyoming ternilncs t gden. Utah. Its agontfl have twn pros- peclinf for ctal in the Rock Springs, (Wyoming) district, where,. It Is said. they have found a fourtcen-f X vein abcut fifteen miles altove that cal mining city of 11 .000 peoie on the greiat p lains. The Unit n Pacific and a ccuple of local coal mining compan ies allied with that railroad together ship abc ut 700 car loads of coal a day from lVclr Springs in the the winter season, and a vast amount the year through, and ' the Burlington people want a hand In thin vast an J grcwing business, together with other local anl thicugh traffic. And they will want a Pacific ; terminus. In order to ligure in the Oriental carrying trade. The. people of 0eg n and the North west scarcely realize the chunges that are bound to take p'ace In, the text five or ten years, on account of the axibitloua railroad people of the East and the Mlsslsslpi'l valley f gurln for a share of the great and growing businese of this Western country. ; It is Westward that their star of empire LS taking its way. Here and beyond are the new countries and the - new opportunities; the chances for great fortunes. Their eld Held has already grown up. This country Js yet) to grow. It is practically In Its vixgin state.1 Thene are forests of ."timber here In the Coast n.ouniaJns, ( vast be yond computation almost, that are . as yft untouched by the axe, saw and slecge of the Jigger. Tbere are groat mining and agricultural, resources that I are undeveloped. I There , are sources of wealth and foundations of empire yet scarcely dreamed -of. We have a great future, which Is include 1 in j the philosophy of the far-seeing railroad i-eople, and they will not be so slow to take advantage of the op porluni.le tha-t lie before them, f There Is a ii.4d deveToi nx nt taking place In the ccal fields of 1 Wyoming, Colorado, Ulan, red the other inter mountaln states. The allied company of the Pio Grande Western railway, writ Ing coal In UUh, had an output up to last yc ar of 2.st0 tons a 'day. This was all that cmld K soil In the Held supplied by them. But a few days rgo they made a contract with the Southern Pacific people to supply them h 2OC0 tens of coal a day. 7 hey will soon be turning cut fci-00 to 00 tons day In all, and mnphiying mora men In their mining operations thja their railroad ha on its pay toils. .Tht coal of , the Int-r-moun-taln regfbn Is mostly hard. It burns like the antractte, though, ur.ttke the latter. It give a off much smoke. .But It l gat d, hard coaL and it gjes a long way la supplylrg the ca'orlc re-iuire-tnenta of laodern Civllls&t'on and pro gress. The Marlon ' county wood dealers may expect to see some of this coal down here, ellinsT In cip sitiou o them, before long. It selH at 14.6C a ton at retail In Salt Lake, and for about half that price at retail in Bock Strings. 1 Tho wholesale price Is much 1-jwer now, and the cost of mining )a being reduced all the time, by the use of Improved machinery and modero appliances, r Tho supply will iot soon be cihautled. The Great Engineer of bhe Universe saw to this in early geological times, when the in terHnountaln region was a vast a, and; whim th Salt 'Lake region drained Into ". the 'Colombia 'basin. There is ral there for hundreds and hundreds of miles. And It Is handy, near the surfae of the earth. Xo shaft i eceeeary. . in fact, at Rock Springs, cne of the tunnels runs up ward, and the mined coal slides d..wn uiio me waiung cars, of its weight. . 1MMORTA L1TT. own Many reasons mea have for a belief In immortality that soem to be good and SMbstanUal bat I rejoice In the revelation that was made tn the res surrectlon of Jesua. in - tn wAr i- uttered, and In the teaching of the apostles.

Advices of Eastern Bayers to Coast Agents .Said to Vune a Low 8ehedule. The local hop market has not yet been established and there Is consequently an unsettled condition in hop circle in this city and for that matter on the coast. The reason for this Is the re ceipt of unfavorable advices from East ern buyers to their coast agents and the announcement of a. schedule, of prices considerably lower than bad been anti cipated by the sanguine growers." As a, consequence of the unfixed con dition of the market, no ales are being made and the hop market is unusually inactive. A scene of great activity la presented at the Southern Pacific Com pany's hop warehouse In this city, where, daily, many bales of this year's crop are delivered for storage, pending the establishing of a market' and the offering of a price. A prominent Salem buyer yesterday said that the advices received from the Eastern buyers would not justify of fering the large figures that had been expected by growers. He stated that the quotations authorized toy his house was about 13 cents for choice hops and from 10 to 11 cents for the inferior grades. MORE THROUGH, TRAINS.
