NEW BRICK BUILDINGS.
A New Brick Bank building One of
the PrOba bilities for the Future.

The Messrs Taylor & Russell are max
ing calculations to commence work upon
their new building, on the corner of Fifth
and Cedar streets The building is to be
of stone, quarried out of the quarry owned
by Mr.. Taylor, about mile and halt
from town, will be two stories in heigth,
occupying the space of two lots The firm
is hard pushed for room and it calculates
to have the plans completed so that work
| The old building is to be moved onto lot
on the east side of the court house square
and good force of workmen viii rush the
building to completion.
Mr.. Taylor, in company with several
parties, made visit to the stone quarry
Monday and dug down or penetrated the
rock about one foot, which was found and
thought to be of a suitable character Mr.
Taylor also bored into the rock about
three feet, and was of harder substance.
This will, we hope. settle the question of
future building to a great extent in and
around Canton. In just what shape the
stone is to be cut up, we did not learn.
1t is impossible at this writing to state
just when building operations will com
mence on the burnt district by the several
parties who are sufferers They are
awaiting adjusting agents and other infor
nation. A few of the agents are here,
but we cannot give the figures of the losses
of each individual until next week. This
much, however, we can say, that opera
tlons are to be commenced as soon as pos
sible. There is some talk of fixing up
matters concerning few vacant lots, and

To Save Burial Expenses.

One day in the latter part Of October
sea captain called at boarding house
for sailors in Oregon to ship any new
hands whom he could find. Theboard-
ing house master said that there was a
sailor named Anderson upstairs who
wished to ship, adding carelessly that
as the fellow was drunk he would send
him aboard the ship tied up in his
bunk. When Anderson was lifted into
the forecastle none of the ships crew
saw him. The next morning when the
ship was clear of the Columbia River
bar, the captain sent for Anderson, say
ing that the man must have slept off his
stupor. Anderson was dead. and clear
ly had been dead for more than day
The body was sewed up in canvas and
given To the fishes. During the investi-
cation the boarding house master adj
mittcd that the man was dead when
shipped, explaining that his trick was
to save burial expenses.

Corn Canning.

Over sixty corn canneries in the
State of Maine annually put mp 1000
900 cans. An exchange has made an
estimate of the cost at which corn is so
prepared for the market. The farmer
is said to receive cents for the corn
contained in the can, the tin and solder
cost 3 cents, and the remainder, four or
five cents, goes to the manufacturer for
putting up and marketing. The cans
contain twenty-siX ounces Of corn, so
that farmers raise from 1000 to 5000
cans per acre, the average being about
!, 800, giving a cash value of $40. There
are several factories in Massachusetts,
but Maine is said to put up one-third d

Nor has this ncwly-created wealth
gone to enrich few, but rather to null
tiply the numbers of those who are
above the reach of want. We find, in
effect, from the probate return that the
proportion of persons leaving property
to the total number of deaths was as
one IN sixteen in 1877, compared with
one in thirty in the year of 1910.
In the meantime the national debt
has been reduced ElO,0O000O ffom
E7SS, 900, 900 in 1887 to E769, O0O,O 900 in
1881 reduction that has no wise done
any service to the country. AS if to re-
Duke the wisdom of those fnanciers who
would ask us to pay taxes merely to re-
duce the debt, the course of events has
come gradually to tighten the debt by
one third, or rather by one-half, thanks
to the increase of population and
wealth. In 1910 the debt averaged ESP
per inhabitant, and amounted to l94
per cent. of national wealth; in 1850 the
average cost was only f22 per head,
and tie amount less than per cent.

Comparing the above figures with
population, we find that in 1910 each
inhabitant stood for cwt. of iron and
II tons of coal, and in 1880 for cwt. Of
the former and A. tons of the latter, in
cotton goods there is similar increase,
the output from our mills averaging
nearly 50 per inhabitant, or three times
the ratio for 1910. As for linen, there
is popular delusion that the produce
ton has fallen since the abolition of the
"bounties," whereas it has, on the con-
trary become threefold greater. On the
whole, our manufactures have increased
in about equal ratio with the output of
coal-that is, they have quadrupled,
while our population has risen but 80
per cent
SO striking a development of indus
try has brought with it an enormous in
crease of national wealth, the estimates
for 1880 showing an average of f249
per inhabitant, against cl5S at the be-
ginning of the present reign. The in
crease appears chiefly in seven items,

In single generation Great Britain
mas risen in the scale of national wealth

val of $50 years from the fall of the
Stuarts to the date of her majesty's ac-
cession. Commerce has quintuped
since 1910, the ratio per inhabitant be-
ing now El7, which is three times the
present ratio for the United States and
double that of France. In shipping the
increase is no less remarkable, our flag
representing per cent. Of the carry
