variously estimated that the products
of the soil this year will reach a Bum
approaching $10100,000,000, or 5 per
cent more than lust year. Every in
telligent business mail appreciates the
effect, of good crops upon business. The
farmer invariably spends more freely
and the local merchant must fill empty
shelves; thus infusing new life into
trade, industry and transportation in
every direction, and particularly in the
lav we shall huvo to remobilize our
business affairs on a peace basis, when
exports and imports will return to more
normal proportion; but that period is
not yet within measurable distunce.
Financial conditions are generally
satisfactory. Credit 1s sound; loanable
funds are abundant; rates are easy;
gold imports since January 1 amount

prolific. Next to this paramount In
fluence, conies inflationary monetary
conditions. There is an extraordinary
plethora of loanablo funds in tho
United Mates, tho consequence of a
long period of business depression, of
a marvellous stock of gold, of the suc
cessful mobilization of our banking re
sources under tho new banking system
and of an immense accumulation of in
vestment funds following prolonged sus
pension of new enterprise. There is
also one other influential factor in
creating the present boom, and that is
war orders. Hut tho latter aro much
less important tlinn tho two influences
just named and far less permanent. It
is doubtful if all the war orders re
ceived during,the fifteen. months of war
is good, and in spite of enormous credits
and note issue to tho Allies, there are
still available vast sums for invest
nent purposes. Bond sales in Oetoiiet
were nearly $100,000,000. Speculation
has definitely turned to the railroads
and better class of industrials, which
nre making larger profits and whoso
dividend capacities nre consequently be
ins materially strengthened. Additions
to the dividend payers list arc being!

Former Secretary of State Bryan
Against the Wilson military prepared

back from him in repjird to the presi
dent's calling Ezcgiel of tho old tosta
inent to his aid.
"It is surprising that ho would ig
nore tho teachings of Christ and select
a passage not referring to prepara
tions against imaginary dangor, but to
immediate action against attack," he
said. "It is not surprising that Roose
velt should consult the ol.l testament

SEASON Or THE MUSHROOM
HAS ROLLED ROUND AGAIN
And So HaB the Toadstool Season,
Which Brings Many Specimens to
State U. for Determination.
University of Oregon, Eugene, Ore.,
Nov. 11. Small boxes with queer-looking
contents are beginning to come to
Albert Raddin Sweetscr, professor- of
botany in the University of Oregon. The
boxes contain fungi, nnd Mr. Sweetser
is asked in each case to tell the sender
whether the fungi aro toadstools or
muchroomB. For the muchroom season
has just begun again.
This sorvice is gladly performed with
out charge, but Mr. Sweetser requests
that all the root of each fungus be in
cluded, and that each specimen be
wrapped in tissue paper anil packed so
that it cannot be broken in transit.
Specimens should be sent promptly nf-
ter being picked.
"While many of the toadstools are
good to eat, some make trouble in the
digestive tract, some are dangerous, and'
some are actually deadly," said Mr.
Sweetscr. "Safety lies only in knowing
a few unmistakable forms and sticking
closely to them. In some' cases tho
most attractive and innocent looking of
tho toadstools nre the most deadly.
One safety-first motto in gathering
toadstools is to avoid absolutely all
forms having a cup, or anything re
sembling a cup, on the lower end of the
stem. All the deadly forms possess some
sort of cup, a ring, white gills, and
scales, although the scales and ring in
some species disappear early.
"This docs not mean, however, that
no species without these characteristics
is deadly. Wc are glad therefore to
make identifications for anyone in the
state."

Shipping Commissioner McCarthnr to

to Lincoln Clark, Pitcairn Islands, Mid-
Pncific Ocean.
The Pitcnirns so far as is generally
known, aro not even accorded a splash

steamer route. The letter hns been en

.1i2,400,000,000 during the fiscal year
preceding the war. Acvertneiess, inese
war orders wero a powerful stimulus in
business revival. They first awoke tho
country out of its lethargy; deverted
the public mind from discontent; ex
cited new activities and inaugurated a
new speculative furor, which without
intelligent restraint would have quick
ly wrecked the forward movoment. As
to how long the lntter will last, much
depends upon events which cannot yet
be determined. If the wnr is much
prolonged, European purchases of muni
tions asd food products must be con
tinued on a lnrge scale; tlniB afford
ing us a good market for munitions,
food products, etc. At this writing,
there aro no prospects for early peace.
It is true there is a great deal of talk
of that nature, but with both sides so
completely possessed by a determina
tion to fight until victory is assured,
there is little prospect of an early end
to hostilities. Not until a decisive
blow of trreat importance hns been.
struck can wo reasonably expect any
serious step toward peace.
So fnr as domestic! influences are
concerned, present conditions warrant
a continuance of business activity, at
least until the results of the next har
vest can bo determined Money prom
ises to continue ensy for some time to
come, and this combined with agricul
tural prosperity is sure to iitimulnte
new home enterprise in every direc
tion, Construction work, both in the
cities nnd on our railroads, has been
deferred as much as posBiblo for tho
mist two or threo years. Shelves nre

which have been idlo for years aro rc-

buyers, having placed orders for 117,000
cars during the first ten months of the
year, against i!,000 cars lust yeer; also
4!i0,000 tons of rails within tno same
period, compared with 4!,000 tons a
year ago. Structural orders aggregated
1,075,000 tons, compared with 9X1,000
tons at the sumo time last year. Domes
tic shipbuilding is exceedingly active,
owing to the extraordinary profits in
ocean traffic. Hteel prices are advanc
ing daily, and thero is more danger of
a steel famine or a runaway market
than of anything else. Eastern mil-
roads havo morn traffic tlinn they can
handle, and both domestic nnd foreign
freight facilities nre seriously con
gested. American shipbuilders aro ex
ceedingly active, and yards aro turn

eager to get a shnro of tho fabulous
profits which foreign shipowners nro

dnwnright ship famine.

mato cans on the fly-wheel axles of tho

That's only ono bono per can. Wo nro

ably never thought of it. We are won

even so much us a sheet of tissue paper
to shield them from tho cold cruel
