The canned horse flesh industry has
evidently come to Oregon to stay. It
Is only about a year since the first horse
flesh was ranned and sent to France.
It was so much liked that large orders
from that country have been placet! in
Oregon, and a sj ndh-ate of stock-raisers
and capitalists has been organized for
exploiting the industry. The Oregon
men figure that they can make a clear
profit of $5 on every carcaxs after, al
lowing ?5 for first cost and an addi
tional $2 for freight and care. The
ranges of Kasteru Washington and
Oregon are expected to furnish 2ii.(ni
head of horses before fall. The Mou
tana IudeiN-udent urges the people of
that State to go Into the Industry and
says "there is money and big money for
the wide-awake Moutauian who will
take advantage right now of this oi-
portunlty, buy up some part of th- sur
plus horses that are uselessly eating off
our ranges, and make Helena the cen

The St Paul Globe Is not well in
formed concerning Illinois geography'
and hydrography. It announces Uiat
the Hennepin Canal Is "a sewer for
Chicago" and that that was the real
reason why Chlcagoans were In favor
of Its construction. It will be news to
the people living along the line of that
canal that It is to be used for the dis
posal of Chicago sewage. They had
supposed that the canal was so much
above the lake level that It would ba
fed with water from the Rock IUver
and not from Lake Michigan. It has
never occurred to them that Chicago
sewage passing down the drainage
channel and the Illnols to the eastern
terminus of the canal a few miles be
low LaSalle will proceed calmly to
defy the laws of nature, run up hill.
and empty Into the Mississippi at the
mouth of Rock River. If such won
drous things as this can happen the
sewage might flow up the Mississippi
and offend the sensibilities of Minne
sota people. It Is a wonder the (J lobe
did not call attention to that danger.
Is the theatrical manager to be the
arbiter of real as well as stage mar
riages? A New lork manager evident
ly thinks so, for he has Inserted a clause
In his contracts to the effect that mem
bers of his company must not marry
without his consent It all came out a
few days ago when one of bis actresses
played truant, like a boarding-school
girl, and was married, and now every
one Is waiting to see If the manager
will pose as the "forgiving papa" or
the "unrelenting parent" The novelty
of the Idea Impresses one at the start
but the necessity for such a clause la
not immediately discernible. It is only
after reflection that the advantage can
be seen. Actresses are apt to be as fool
ish In affairs of the heart as are school
girls. They have not the clearness of
Vision and the business sense that man
agers could wish. They sometimes over
look the advertising that can be se
cured at the altar. They lack that re
gard for the press agent, which every
manager knows is his due, and w hich
every true actress should have. There
fore, It Is wise to leave these matters
to the manager, so that he may look
to the actress' welfare. Some of them
have been known to get married with
out having a line In the newspapers
about It which, of course, was a griev
ous oversight They forgot that mat
rimony is regarded now as a feature
of the advertising department, and the
manager doubtless merely wishes to
avoid such mistakes in the future.
Many Shipwrecks on Labrador.
Owing to the vanguard of rocky Isl
ands strung along the coast, harbors
are numerous so numerous that a
quaint Western man, the only passen
ger besides myself who ventured on
the mall-boat this cruise, remarked
that if harbors were only worth a cent
apiece Labrador would be one of the
richest countries In the world. But In
spite of these many shelters, rocks and
Ice are so fatal to shipping on this
coast that the mail-boat rarely returns

three hundred shipwrecked sailors

trip we picked up the crew of a stanch
English vessel whose captain had. In
entering one of the tickles, to choose
between ice and rocks, and so ran her
on the latter. When we entered 'a har
bor our mate always took soundings,
but before we let go the anchor our

Mr. Parsons?" If the mate said ''Yes-'
it meant that some vessel had left Its

Washington, June A semi,
official statement has been received hen
from the lexers of one of the moat lir
Auential element in Cuba ilmwlng that
the war expenditures are becoming
enormous aud the sugar sud tobacco
iudustrl-s so unprofitable that they be
lieve a general uprising will result from
ta hard times caused. The portion of
the statement eoncersiog the desperate
conditions prevailing is as follows:
"The war np-iiae of lvs-7s were paid
by Cuba, bpain furnished 212,367 men
but not a siugle dollar. Cuba was
loaded with nearly -w,l ),- debt,
besides a yearly budget of ' ii.OUU.OOO
in these ten years. General Lovell de
clared in the Spanish corteg that the
war expenses had been fTOi.UiO, or an
average of 7,ux a year. Sugar pro
duced there with slave labor, was sold
at d'i cents a pound. The tobacco id
Uasiry was in such a flourishing con
dition that the minister of the colonies
Romero Robaledo, called the buildings
of their lactones 'palaces.' Leaf toba
ceo wvs sold 100 per cent abve yester
day's prices. I'er contra sugar sold
at 1. So cents a pound, or 3) per cent
below cost of production aud is pressed
to its last ditch by German beet sugar.
The tobacco industry is ruined beyond
redemption by a tariff war. Leaf does
not pay the cost of labor at yesterday's
prices. The production of Cuba this
year will be: Hugar, S3-OW,Ooo toba
cco, $12,000,000; fruits and sundries,

OjO.OOJ deficit is the last straw on the
camel's back. The budget of WJ2 94
was closed with a OX1.000 deficit and
sugar sold then at 2 625 cents a pound,
while this year it sells at 1 85 cents
