| Honduras is 10 days from New York
81 days from San Francisco and nearly
80 days from the nearest European

business is transacted with Europe. No
man is eligible to the presidency Of
| Honduras, by the way. who is not the
| father Ola child. That is one of the
| constitutional provisions. Honduras
has only 81 miles Of railway. The chief
reason of this is that, in 1868 schem-
ing Euglishman obtained a concession
from the government for the con-
structiOn of road, built 81 miles of it,

expectations from Honduras to US are
very much greater than to any other
country, and the expectations of the
United States to Honduras are not as
great as those either from England or
Germany. 1t is worthy to note that
the freight rate from New York to
Honduras is S2S a ton, while the rate
from Liverpool is S23 10 and $50 from
Hamburg. This probably explains
why we don't do more business with
Honduras.

higher as TO discou age the present
Efforts for the cultivation OF closer
commercial relations between this
country and the Central American
republics.
These countries have all enjoyed fav-
orable reciprocity ii eaties with the
United States, and this small break in
the tariff wall mas apprec ably increas-
ii our trade with them uurIug the past
half-dozen years, but Europe is still
dominant III their commerce and Will
of necessity continue 40 until our rates
of transportation are lowered to the
European standard. German ships
make the long trip around by Cape
Horn aud land freights al Central
American ports cheaper than we DO.
This gives the German merchant an
advantage which his American COM
petltor cannot meet under the present
conditions.

Statistics for 1892 show that Euro
pean countries led Us in Central Amer
lean business n all the articles OF eX-
portaJlOn except iron, steel and ma
chlnery. Ia thai year the total value
of our commerce with those states WAS
st. . -, 900. Great Britain sold them
goods 10 the value OF 50, oil 900, and
France over 81, 600, 0OU. The figures OF
Germany part of the trade are not al
nanQ, but conservative estimates place
It's value at nearly S4,OOO,UO0. In the
same year the Central American re-
publlcs SOLD Us articles TO the value of
80, 119, 900, thus leaving a balance of
trade against us of more than 81, UUO, 600
The principal articles we import from
those countries are coffee, fruits and
nuts, India rubber aud gutta-percha,
hides ana skins, chemicals, drugs, dyes,
etc., and brown sugar.

Europe has the SD me advantage over
us in the Sc states which she has IN all
the LATINA merican countries and
which was pointed out recently IN the
article on Mexico. European merchants
give longer credits than do The Amer
lean merchants, and European houses
send to Central America experienced
agents who speak the Spanish language
tiuently and WHO understand the GUS
toms and the temperament of the peO-
pie. Our old world competitors also
practice greater care in packing and
preparing their gOuds tor shipment,
which all American cOusuls declare to
be big factor IN competing for trade
down there. All the countries COM
prislng the Central American group
are yet far behind the modern world
IN the matter of internal traDsporta-
ton facilities, none of them having
much over hundred miles of railroad
within their borders and one of them
having not a single mile constructed or
projecl LED. This makes transportation
IN them cumbersome, slow and eXpen-
sive, and in competing for their trade
the shipper must take this into account
ana acquaint himself with the require
ments OF the situation.

years by American manufacturers who
are looking to the Latin-Americsu
countries for new and enlarged mar
ket. In view of the fact that the
political tendency in Central America
is toward a federation of the small
states into one big republic, the Sal
vadorean coal deposits may be con-
sidered as belonging in common to the
whole group, and when federation is
effected aud stable government sue
ceeds the present uncertain political
conditions, manufacturing may be eX-
pected to thrive in Central America.
Our trade relations are on batter
basis with Salvador than they are with
any of its neighbors. We passed Great
Britain in the volume of business with
that country in 1889, and have been in
creasing our lead every year since.
Nearly all of the indigo and balsarn
used in our commerce comes from Sal
vador, and California wines have COM
pletelv supplanted the cheap wines,
brandies and runs of England, Ger
many and France. The exports of the
country in 1895 exceeded 81. 900, 900. of
which more than half was to the Unit
ed States, AID in tie total impOr: 5
during the same year were less than
81 .O00,O 900, thus giving the SalvadOreans
a trade balance of more than 81 goo, 900,
a proportion larger, perhaps, than that
Of any other country in the world. This
b. speaks prosperity enjoyed by few
people anywhere.

The five countries are SO similar in
climate and material resources that Il
descrlptlo OF the Industrial develop
ment and commercial customs of one
would answer for The entire group if 1t
were not for the fact that some are
farther advanced in modern me- hods
chan others. For example, Salvador
though thu smallest of the group IN
a Il, is more densely populated IMAM
any OF them, and must, therefore, be
considered more highly developed.
Sa vador has one dIstloct advantage
over her neig bors which should be
taken into account as factor of great
Importance. There are in that coun-
try the largest and most promising
coal deposits found anywhere in the
vast stretch from the southern bound

The principal industry of Costa RIGA

is coffee raising. The soil and climate
of the country are adapted to the culJi-
walton OF great variety of crops, but
for some reason the Costa Ricans de-
vote the main portion OF their industry
to the cultivation OF coffee, and very
fine quality Of the article they produce,
too. The imports of the country were
81 SIC, 900 in 1895, and its exports were
81 ,645 600 The greater pnrt of the eX-
ports came to the United States, and
then the Costa r cans sent the money

Our consul general to Nicaragua,
Mr.. Thomas O'Hara, declares that the
trade of two or three ordinary counties
in the Mississippi valley is better than
the entire trade OF the Nicaragua re-
public. Despite the fact that the i'm
ports to that country during the last
several Yeas averaged only 1876 per
capita, ueverthe !ess the trade is worth
com petiug for. The Nicars guans
manufa 'ture sugar, soap, coarse ieath-
Ell, lumb and common furniture, and
import al the flour, kerosene, iron and
steel that they use. OF the 241 articles
which passed into one of Nicaragua s
principal ports in 1894, all bur - of
them were listed as coming from
the United States, and it : curious
fact that we sent them no wOoienS.
umbrellas. underwear or ale. All of
these commodities were obtained from
Europe, and while the Nicaraguans
seem glad enough to get our hams and
bacon, yet when they want sausag es
they send to Germany, France and
Belgium for them.

for the purpose Of putting in the

has just been receiv ed, we will be
obliged to stop our service at 8
O'Clock ON Saturday night, the
Oath inst, and hope to be able to
begin service again on Monday
at S A. NJ. In this connection [
would respectfully ask the sub
scribers to be a little patient with
the operators, during the first
months service, with this new
board las the operating of it differs,
to some extent, from that of the
board now being discarded,
and the operators must have a
reasonable time to acquire prof.
cheney in the new order of it's ma
nipulation.
While the new board is far SUI
perior to the old one, and is real
ly faster operating board in it's
construction, it will prove to us a
slower board for some months,
owing to the increased number of
telephones which it serves, neces-
stating a trunking system, instead
Of the system Of direct connec-
ton, as is the case with the old
board.
hope our patrons will pardon
me, but feel it duty to them to
call their attention to the fact that,
if they want prompt and reliable
service, they should be prompt in
answering their telephones, and
in using the telephone they should
turn their faces towards the instru-
ment and talk in a natural tone Of
voice, within one or two inches of
the transmitter, and, above all,
when they are through, they should
not forget to ring off, push the
crank in and give it one vigorous
turn, this saves a great deal of
time at the central office, then
again it is important to you, as
there may be another person
waiting to talk to you, whom you
will hold hold by not ringing off.
earnestly request our subscribe
ers to telephone any complaint,
against the service, to my office, at
once on it's occurance, and not
wait until the following day, or
several days.
would ask your kind consider
alton for the operators in the cen

n Lovely Flower Dies.
AS rule, the dead is an EN- blem
of sadness, of sorrow. Scarcely
an occasion these is when the RI
der Of the pale horse does not seem
to sting that which is the hardest
to give up; the plant which is
deepest rooted in the soil of love.
But cruel tyranny alone issues the
decree, it seems, when the lovely
young girl, fresh in her bouyant
vigor; rosy in her bloom of life;
rich in her artistic endowments
and sweet in her conceptions of
life is selected as the victim of it's
contamination. And all of this
and more, was the spirituelle bud,
Miss Maybelle Clay Rogers who
died near the meridian hour on
Monday last.
Just leaving behind her the gar
den spot of Childhood and preparing
to thread the invisible way which
leads to the superual realm of wo-
manhood, an ornate and superb
representative Of the flowery King
dom of life's eden was Miss
Maybelle; cultivated, cultured and
refined. Just flew months more
and she would mastered the
branches of the Harrodsburg Ken
lucky Seminary and been prepar-
ed to greet her parents a matured
and cultured woman.

not reach forth the hand, trem-
bling with pathos to others who
must make the sacrifice? Yea,
may God bless you father, moth

fondle the chords 9of the heart and

Important Letters from County Supcrin-
tendent to Trustees and Teachers.
ANACONDA, MONT, March 8, 1897.
To the School Trustees of Deer Lodge County:
You are hereby informed that the gov
ernor has approved the school book bill,
which provides for a text book commits
sion composed of seven members, who
shall select a uniform series of text books
to be used in all the districts of the
state for & period of six years from aud
after September l, 1897. The bill pro-
vdes for what is called local adoption.
That is to say, each school district may
decide for itself whether it shall have the
books free or not.
To secure free books it is neces
sary in each unincorporated town or city
for ten legal voters to petition the school
trustees at least fifteen days before the
third day of April, 1897, which is the time
OF the school election. Said petition
should request the trustees to submit to
the district at the ensuing election the
question whether or not the school books
shall be furnished free to the pupils at
tending school. If the district comprises
an incorporated city or town the same
method is pursued, except that there
luuoG We a petitioA slSucu W az lSaot loo
voters in the district, and proceed as in
other cases.
AS the school election occurs on the
third of April, and this petition must be
presented at least fifteen days before said
election, it is necessary, therefore, that
said petition be filed with the school trus-
tees not later than the 18th day OF March.
Those districts adopting free school
books will get them at least 20 per cent.
cheaper than books can be sold to pupils
in districts which do not adopt free
books. The dealers charge from 20 to
;5 4 per cent. for the handling Of books;
this enormous profit will be saved to the
districts which shall furnish the books
free to the pupils.
The districts adopting free books will
have the same shipped to the school
board and through the school board they
will he distributed to the teachers, and
by the teachers to the pupils; this saves
the dealers commission, as before stated
But in those districts which do not adopt
free books the same will be shipped to
dealers as they have been heretofore,
and the dealers will add their profit of
from 20 to 1915 per cent, and the chill
dren will be obliged to pay the exor-
bitant prices that they have been accus-
toned to pay in the past.
Every argument of economy, therefore,
is in favor of every district adopting free
books. Improved scholarship, better at
tendance and a larger enrolment always
follows the adoption Of free school books.
