The market has not been influenced bo "generally by individual price move ments as it was last week. The peace conference at Portsmouth has ' made progress, and to this extent is about 'fulfilling expectations. But tne signifi cant news of the week, taking a long range view of the situation, has beoB the authoritative information that President Koosevolt will not after all call an extra, session of congress to meet immediately after the November elections for the purpose of consider ing railroad rate legislation. . Respon sible intimation is also made that there will be no urgent demand in ad ministration circles for radical tariff legislation. This, for a. time at bast, removes two possible influences "oT acute disturbance; it does not menn that cither subject will bo sulnmarily disposed of without action, but prom ises, instead, action in loth instances, on conservative lines, to follow ade quate examination and discussion, with tne gbneral beneficial results that usu ally follow sneh sane methods of con sideration. It means, in tire first in stance, that brondminded railroad men and broadmiuded business men will be reciprocity. Germany's recent tariff changes demand consideration of a re ciprocal arrangement- with that couTP try, but a change lET'our t a rlflf system to meet tha new: German conditions cannot bo made unless "we provide cor responding changes for other of our international friends. There uas ius far been no indica tion Of any acute situation in money. This, however, is the chief feature of possible disturbance whieh will have to be watched. It should t?o remem bered that wiui j the recent teady progress of prices of stock exchange securities there has until the last few days been little j pronounced activity, and should such activity develop with in the next few week3 it could hardly fail to place a strain on money. Tho fever situation at the south is also a factor that should not be ignored, but these, in connection with the high range of prices current for securities, seem' the only threatening clouds in a generally brilliant outlook. j Henry Clews.

WHY ? 1st Because: It wilt be paying 18 per cent per annum on par, or 36 per cent on the investment at the present price, f30 cents per share, with a 75-ton mill. With the bOO-ton mill that will be erected in 1906-7 it will pay from 00 to 100 per cent per annum on par. - . . Because: It will be a permanent dividend payer for years to come, besides increasing ten-fold the value. " ' ; ; - ' ; . 3d , Because; Tho management is conservative; everything coming from the mine will bo paid oat in div idends; tho management having entered into, an agreement with three of, the leading business men of Salem, "le gally binding themselves, their heirs and succesrors, to give to Salem stockholders a voice in the management by electing one of them as Director, and further agreeing that no salary be paid any c Ulcer "or director at any time except) ns the Secretary and Treasurer .the maximum salary paid them never to exceed $150 per month. A copy of this agreement it on file at our office. , j . : 4th Because: Tho property is a fully developed MINE, already past the period of speculation, having in sight, and blocked out, ready for the mill, from three to five million dollars' worth of ore. 5 th Because: Its commercial value has been tested by a mill inn of fourteen montns, which has shown an average, without any sorting, of $10 in free gold per ton on the plates. k 4 rf k.Vr&5irr Eccausc: The company owns the property in fee-simple, standing accounts or obligations of any character. 1 ' '; !

It is the opinion of the congress that the national irrigation law should be so extended as to include the state of Texas within its provisions. Not Connected at AIL A confusion said to exist in the minds of many people on the subject, the congress declares that there is not, nor has there been an connection what ever between the national irrigation congress and the national irrigation as sociation.
