* ARM WONDERS OF OREGON.
fiooic of the Agricultural Feats of tit
State Arc Startling.
The Northwest is pre-eminently the
wonderland of production on the con-
tinent. William Macleod ilaine , in
Pearson's , tells how a farmer in the
the Hood river country in Oregon raised -
ed on four acres 800 bushels of potatoes -
toes that nearly all ran from three to
eight pounds apiec ? . There was not
in the lot one that weighed less than
ft pound. Squashes weighing as much
ns a large man , pumpkins tipping the
-Scales at the hundredweight , water
melons larger than the southern pit'k-
.ciniunies whose eyes would bulge at
seeing them , turnips larger than one's
liead , pears and apples with a circum
ference of half a yard , are to be seen
-at the annual fairs of Salem and The
Dalles.
The biggest apples , the biggest pears
nn& the biggest cherries at the Chicago
cage exposition were from Oregon and
the charge cannot be made against
them that what they gain in size they
lose in ilavor. The I'omoiogical Socie
ty , which is the highest authority on
fruit in the country , awarded to the
State of Oregon the Wilder medal for
the horticultural exhibit at the Pan-
American. The "Webfoot State"
stands first in the production of hops ,
raising about one-third of the coun
try's total production.
So far as is known there is no spot
on earth , with the exception of eastern
Oregon and Washington and the ad
joining valleys of Idaho , where three
or four crops of wheat may be harvest
ed from one sowing. Yet since the
first settlement of the country these
' 'volunteer" crops have been reaped
A second crop from a seeding is oul-
cially reported to have yielded thirty
bushels to the acre.
ARE THERE TOO MANY DOCTORS
What Canadians Think of Overcrowd-
ins the Professions.
From France comes the complaint
go often beard elsewhere that tlie lib
fcral professions are overcrowded. It
was instigated by the fact that a youns
physician in Paris , who was on the
verge of starvation , had turned shop
lifter to satisfy his hunger. An investi
gation showed that the instance of
professional poverty was by no means
-an isolated one. The reason given by
a Paris paper , Le Temps , for th- !
state of affairs is that France "lui *
rmore doctors than she wants. " In
this connection the Canadian Journal
of Medicine and Surgery compaies the
situation of the medical profession in
Europe to that of the profession in
Ontario. The comparison is significant.
In the rural districts of France tin.re
are about three doctors per lO.OCO of
population. In the larger cities there
are 7.4 per 10,000 and in Paris lO.tiTi
per 10,000. Throughout Ontario we arc
blesesd Avith 11.4 doctors per 10.000.
Tvhile in the city of Toronto the phy
sicians number twenty to the 10HJO.
.Roughly speaking , therefore , there is
In Ontario double the number of phy
sicians per head of population that
there is in professionally overcrowded
France. At first sight it would appear
that the conditions of the med'cal pro
fession must be twice ns bad in this
province as in the French republic.
This -vv/uld , however , be an exaggerat-
ted view. There is a material difference
Iln the circumstances of the two coun
tries. The average of wealth is higher
liere and the population is more scat .
tered. Still the overcrowding of the
medical and the other professions as

High prices often prevail in frontiei

OPEN ROAD IN CHINA
UNITED STATES WILL GAIN
COMMERCIALLY
Washington , Got. 9. The
department was informed that
tlie American-Chinese commerUdi
treaty has been signed at Shanghai ,
and that the Japamse-Cbinese tuaty
will be signed. The cablegram
announcing tlie signing of the
treaty was sent from Shanghai and
was signed by Minister Conger ,
Consul General Goodnmv and Mr.
Seaman , the three commissioners
who negotiated the instrument. An
impeiial decree'by the Chinese - government
ernment has made the treaty effect
ive as fur as that government 13 con.
cerned , but it must be ratified by
tne United States senate before tbe
ratifications can be exchanged and
tbe treaty put in operation.
Great satisfaction is expressed at
the state department at the outcome ,
as it makes it certain that the Uc
p-iits in Manchuria A ill be opened u
the UniteJ States , no matter what
tbe outcome as to the negotiation *
for the evacuation of that territoiy
bv Russia may be. The assurance
that Russia has previoush given , and [
t which this government would in
sist upon adherence , is that tne
treaty arrangements made with China
covering Manchurian rorts will he
hiiriing upon the Russian govern-
men if.
The princ'pil points . -f the treaty
are briefly as follows :
First Settlement of fhelong vexed
question uf internal taxation in
Clrna.
Second Reorganization of Ameri
cans' liirhtsof lesidcnce throughout t
tbe empire for missionary work.
Third Piotei-t ion of patentstrade
marks and copyrights
Fourth Mining rights.
Fifth Opening of new localities
to international trade in the part , ol
the empire in which the United
Spates has vast commercial inter
ests.
ests.Sixth Right to carry on trade ,
industries and manufactures in all
parts of China.
Articles 1 , 2 and 3 refer to the
rights and privileges of diplomatic
otlicers , consuls and citizens of the
United State , in China and embody
a number of change0.
Article 4 is the most important of
the treaty. By it tlm Chinrse aov-
ernnment. recognizing that the pres
ent system oflevyaie clues upon goods
In transit an'l especially the system
of taxation known as likin , impedes
the free circulation of commoMti-s
to the general injury of trad , under
takes after the ratifica'ion of the
tteaty and at a date tu be mutually
agreed upon , to abandon tbe levy ol
likin and other transit dues through
out the empire and to abolish all the
barriers | and tax stations maintained
for their collection The United
States in consideration of this
change , agrees , if all other powers
i having treaties with China do like-
WJSP , to pay at tbe po-t tf entry on
alien its imports into China surtax ol
one and one-half times the taritl
import duty. By this payment they
shall secure complete immunity from
all other taxation whatsoever with
in the empire. Exports from China
sl pay iy per cent ad valorem ( as
at present ) . The whole amount ol
the duty being collected at the port
of exportation. All this officials be
lieve may bring about a co mplete and
'salutary reform in the fiscal admin-
istrat on of the empire and enable
the central government to derive
much larger sums Irom the internal
taxrs than it now does when the cost
cf colleetio i is perhaps fifty per cent
of the whole.
J3y another article the Chinese gov
ernment agrees to the establishment
Of bonded warehouses by citizens oJ
the United States at the open ports
of China.
By article 7 the Chinese govern
ment , "recosnizine that it is advan
tageous for the country to develop
its mineral resoums and that it is
desirable to attract foreign as well as
Chinese capital to embark in n.ininp
enteroiises , " agree within a yeai
fioin thesigr-iim of the trenty to con
clude the revision of its mining reg-
tulations so that citizens of the
United States maybe able to carry
on in Chinese territory mining oper
ations nnd other necessary business
connected therewith.
Articles 9 , 10 and 11 provide for
the ! protection of trariemuiks , patents
and coryritf1 ts in China. ,
By arlich 13 , the Chinese govern
ment acrers to take the necessary
steps to provide for a uniform nation
al coinage , wnich shall be a legal
tender throughout the empire. of
Article 14 rflntj s to Chinese Christ
ians and to missionaries. It insures
to the former the free exercise o (
their religion and protects them
against the injustice of the native
officials while not , however , remov-
inu them from their juiisdictinn or
claimtna for American m ssionaries
the riuht to interfere with the exer

jurisdiction over thiir nationals To
the missionaries it secures Mint the
have s ught for years , a recognition be
tneir right to rent and lease in
perpetuity such property as their so

empire.
At the request of the Chinese gov
ernment an article has been incorpo
rated in the treaty by which ihe
'
United St'ites consents to the pro
hibition of the importation into
China of morphia and of instruments
for its injection. A.
