Importance Of Trade With New Possessions

The annexation of the Hawaiian
islands and the possibility of the an
~nexation of other islands has called at
tention to the Importance of the new
possessions as commercial factors in the
trade situation of the United States.
Investigations along this line have re-
suited in some discoveries which are al
most astonishing, particularly in rela-
tion to the Hawaiian group.
The foreign trade of Hawaii is greater
in proportion to the population than
that of any other country on the globe.
The Hawaiian imports amount to SIC
per capita, and the exports $3.50 per
capita, making a total foreign trade
which averages $3.50 for each man,
woman and child in the islands. Eng
land, which stands far ahead of any
other nation in the aggregate volume
of it's commerce on the seas, has an an
nual foreign trade of about 1903 pei
capita, and this country, with a foreign
trade that is, of course, inconsequentia
as compared with its internal commerce
imports and exports goods the value
of which averages less than $50 pei
capita.
In comparison with these figures, the
commerce of the Hawaiian Island, II
proportion to the number of people
there, is so great as to seem almost be
yond belief. But the figures are oflicia
and therefore cannot be doubted. Near
ly all OF this trade-over 80 per cent o
it's with the United States. More
than three-fourths of Hawaiian import,
60 from this country and nearly all thu
exports of the islands come here. Thu
complete supremacy of the United States
in the trade of Hawaii is an interestin,
Illustration of the possibilities in thu
way Of developing American commerce
with the Philippines, with Puerto Ric'
and Cuba, and even with the Empire o
China, and the entire Orient.
The new colonial possessions that ar
about to come under the control of thi
country are capable of development
similar to that of the Hawaiian islands
American enterprise and energy hav
made those Islands what they are. TIL
same powers set to work in the Philip
pines and at Puerto Rico, will accom-
plish similar wonders there, and whe'
the merchants of this country 60 t
work in earnest to get their share of til
Asiatic trade they will achieve grea
success in that part of the world.

COSTUME.

there is no fullness at the top of any skirt,
wei the necessary allowance at the back
being confined in one or two plaits. But
for very slender women it is much better
that greater fullness should be placed at
the back and that it should be gathered
instead of plated, as the figure appears
then less slim. The foot of the skirt must
be wide and fall in q multitude of little
ripping folds, lying upon the ground a
little in the rear,
The picture shows a travelling gown of
beige cloth, the skirt being adorned with
five curved nounces, with a redingote eff
feet. The little coat bodice has triple
fronts, adorned with horn buttons, and
opens over a vest of plaid silk. The tight
sleeves have three little curved rui1les at
the wrist. The belt of brown velvet fastens
with a gold buckle. The hat of beige straw
is trimmed with beige ribbon and brown
auills. JUDO CEoLLET.

exports was only $500, 900, half of which
was rice, The shipments from this
country to Hawaiiinclude a great variety
of articles, the most important of which
are iron and steel products, breadstutfs,
cotton and lumber. The needs and
products of Puerto Rico and the Philip
pines are similar to those of Hawaii, and
what has been done in the development
of Hawaii is n fair evidence of what may
be accomplished in the much greater
and more populous islands that are soon
to come under the influence of American
ENTERPRISE.

He Confessed He Stole the Horse, and the
Lynchers Surprised Him.
The few determined men, with the pris-
oner in their midst, worked quietly but
quickly. A rope was soon thrown over a
limb of IA live oak tree and tho end knot
ted around the condemned mans neck.
Then he was placed upon a barrel n the

"Waal, hits boss stealth, If We must

"Meanin what particular hoss?"
"WaaI, ! swan! Did ye ever hear of SIGH

to the rest of the crowd. "Durn il l don't

whined the prisoner.
"Waal, hits Lige Beams boss, if ye

"Yaas, thet's right; I took the boss.
This calm announcement of the theft
had the effect of throwing the lynchers
into a commotion, and after comforting
together for a few minutes the leader ap-
preached and said:
$3.50 yere! Do ye mean ter say tibet ye
took the hoss?"
"Thet's right! l took the hoss."
"Git down from there then" yelled the
leader, throwing off the O p from the
limb and kicking the barrel over.
"What's the meanin of all this yere?"
asked the suspected man as he picked him

"Hit means tibet we want you ter git!"

Then the late prisoner got mad and

France will, beginning on September
1, encourage the extension Of the beet
sugar industry in that country by pay
ing a bounty on all exports of beet
sugar. The United States will be the
largest importer of the French product,
and yet right here in New Mexico, a
great part of the sugar now bought

There is something wrong with the sugar
business somewhere when the finest
sugar beet soil and climate in the world
is allowed to remain idle and money that
could be kept at home is sent away ia

that the wealthy citizens of Puerto Rico
feared that the Spanish commander
would turn their towns over to his UNI

he informed General Macias that if
that was done that there would be "a

that the chivalrous Spaniard who was
responsible for the outrage would be the

There will be no plundering of Puerto
