INCREASE IN EXPORTS.

Showed Marked Decrease.

Showed Marked Decrease.
The bureau Of statistics in its latest
summary Of finance and commerce,
presents details of the imports and ex-
ports in the fiscal year ending June 80,
1898. 1t shows that the exports to all
parts of the world increased both in
manufactures and products Of agricul-
ture, and that while there was great
falling off in imports, the reduction
was almost exclusively in manufac-
tured articles and food products. Man.
ufactured articles ready for consump-
ton fell from $134,375, 1875 in 1897 and
$145, 274,039 in 1896 to $S2,57O,6S7 in
1893; articles of food and live animals
fell from S245, 1885, 1877 in 1897 and $751;
)25,O45 in 1896 to $1S1, 4SO,O11 in 1898,
while ARTICLES of voluntary use, lux
ury, etc." fell from $50, O9S,97 in 1897
and $93,323,154 in 1896 to ST., 452, 561 in
1898. On the other hand, articles re-
quired by the manufacturers and CLASH
fed as ARTICLES in crude condition
for use in manufacturing" OF which
the 1897 imports were $214,916,625 and
those of 1896, s2O9, 36S,717, amounting
in 1898 to $2O4,543,919, forming in 1893
over 80 per cent of the total importa-
tions, while in 1897 they were but 70
per cent, and in 1896, u per cent of
the total imports, showing a large rel
alive increase in the proportion which
these articles used in the domestic in
dustries bore to the total importations.
Manufactured articles for use in the
mechanic arts formed in 1898 about
the same percentage Of the imports
that they did in 1896 and 1897. The
expectations of manufactures, which
amounted to $2SS,S71, 449 in 1898, ex.
ceeded those of 1897 by $11,5S6, O5S,
and those of 1896 by $50, 3O0,271, while
the products of agriculture exported
amounted to sS54,627,929 in 1898,
against $3.50, 471 ,131 in 1897 and $780,
879,297 in 1896, the chief increase in
agricultural expectations being in
breadstuffs. The expectations Of the
year increased $3.50, 1886, 694, and the i'm
portations of the year decreased $14S,-
1928, the comparison being made in
each case with the preceding fiscal
year, 1897. The following table shows
the total exports and imports by the
grand divisions in the fiscal year, 1898,

New Kamilche Notes.

A party of Shelton Odd Fellows,
consisting of VIM. Shorter, VIM. Par
! sons, Orlin Stanhope, Watson Roden-
berger, Jos. Wood and G. c. Angle,
visited Kamilche Lodge, No 14O, last
Saturday evening and assisted in con-
ferring the first degree upon John
Hammond, a candidate from Matlock.
A dance was also one of the attract
tons and the party did not return
home until the following morning.
The new officers of the Kanilche
lodge are w. D. Hudson, N. G.; w. F.
Taylor. V. G.; Ben. Jacobson, Treas ,
Geo. 1. Barron, Sec.; Dan Lynch, War
den; H R Weatherall, Cond; James E

Although the town has been prac-
tica1ly abandoned by the Railroad COM
pany, which has moved away bodily
and now dumps its logs at the 'Roll-
way" two miles up Little Skookum
bay, the Lodge is in prosperous con-
dition and is gaining in membership.
1t has the best lodge hall in the county
and besides being free from all debt,
has nice balance in the treasury.
Since the Simpson company has NOV
it's headquarters to Matlock, IS miles
away, the members have a long way
to go to attend the lodge, but they
have good attendance generally.
Hunter & Eaton have branch store
in the Patterson Hotel building, in
charge of ". D. Hudson. They have
a neat and fresh stock of goods and
appear to have considerable trade
with the farmers and oystermen in the
vicinity.
Harry Weatherall, one of the lead
ing oystermen on the bay, whose home
is on the Thurston County side, is
said to be the best read man in the
vicinity. He subscribes for seventeen
new spapers and periodicals, including
the JOURNAL, and is shining example
to those who feel unable to take even
their county paper.
The Editor took the opportunity of
spending the night at the hospitable
home of George Barron, which occu-
pies pleasant point opposite the town.
The Barrons are comfortably situated,
and have an especially attractive lot
of fruit of all kinds. His prune trees
produce the largest Hungarians we
have ever seen, and he has several
other varieties of fruit worthy of men
ton, the Japanese Wineberry beng a
novelty. The place has the advantage
of salt water on three sides and the
seasons are heightened while the early
blooms are protected by the fogs.
There are several other prosperous
ranchers in the vicinity, and we regret
that lack of time prevented visiting
them.

With the advent of annexation there
will be wonderful boom in the grow
ing of vegetables for the markets of
the frost bound states. What at pres
ent prevents any attempt in this line
on a large scale is the fact that it
would at present be impossible to
make any use of the surplus. Good
prices might now be realized, but the
loss would counter-balance the
gain. But with annexation the sur
plus could be used for canning, and
then the business could be carried on
at a handsome profit. A gentleman in
terested in this business informed The
Star today that when annexation was
settled he would at once lay plans for
putting in 1000 acres in fruit and veg
etables, and have a cannery ready fol-
his first crop. This is only one of the
many things that annexation will
bring us. Busy industries will arise

where ten find employment now, a

there is much employment and good
wages there is golden time for the re.

from one firm alone, it may be safely
predicted that Il good many more
thousand acres will follow. TheL

INQUESTS.

There are few matters more import
ant than the holding of inquests over
deaths that have occurred suddenly.
During the last twenty years there has
been a great improvement in the mat
ter, due, in some measure, to the eff
forts of the present writer when in
charge of the old Gazette. In those
days unless an inquest was demanded,
it was very seldom held. The argu-
ment used to be, the man is dead,
anybody can see he was hit on the
head with brick, what is the good
of getting a jury together, bury the
body and be done with it.
A good many people object to hav-
ing an inquest held, because they
think that holding such investigation
inal carelessness has been committed.
This is not necessarily SO, but the idea
comes from the fact that inquests up
on sudden deaths are usually only held
when there are suspicious circumstan-
ces, or when there has evidently been
a crime of violence.
But from the proper point of view.
an inquest while it may result in in
eliminating "A guilty person, in nine
cases out of ten would be an official
exoneration from all blame of any par.
ties remotely connected with the
death. Taking this point of view all
sudden deaths should be inquired into
by the authorities, not for the sake
of necessarily putting blame upon any
one, but for the sake of generating
those who happen to be present.
Viewed in this light inquests would
cease to bear the sinister meaning
which is now attached to them. In.
stead of seeking to find what is wrong
they would be regarded as held &c
legally establish what is right.
But to establish such an idea in
community inquests upon suddeI
sudden deaths would have to be heIt
without fear or favor. in the home o
the millionaire as much as in the hove
of the laborer. Moreover the absolut,
certainty of an inquest being held is
detriment to crime. Doctors will tel
you that they have had deaths occur
which they regarded as suspicious, bu
which from the position of the parties
they did not like to press for an in
quest. See the injury done to the rep
utation of such people. Cases where
suspicion of crime has arisen ant
has never been cleared up have oc
CURED here and elsewhere. The weigh
of the suspicion rests for life time
and yet formal legal investigation
would have cleared the regulations o
have found the crime.
