BIG TIMBER.
Circular Issued Telling Eastern People
About tho Resources Of the
Northwest.

The Northern Pacific Railway has
issued circular gotten out especially
to exploit the resources of Western
Washington in respect to its timber
and lumber industries. The pamphlet
contains some handosm, half.tone illus
trations of the big timber in Washing
ton, besides exhaustive statistics and
other valuable Information for lumber.
men.
The figures contain some informa.
ton calculated to startle even Puget
Sound lumbermen, who are accustomed
to looking upon these resources in
matter of fact way. The following list
shows the following rail shipments of
dressed lumber for the past nine years,
over the various roads to points with
out the state of Washington: Rail ship
ments in the year 1890, 100, 900, 900
feet; 1891, 500, OOO,0O0; 1852, 9OO,-
900, 900; 1898, 1000, 900; 1894,
/, 200, OOO,OOO; 1895, 1000, 200, 900;
1896, 1888, 800, 900; 1897, 2,806, AGO..
600; 1898, 5000, 900, 900.
In referring to what is considered
by Eastern lumbermen as abnormal
features of Washington timber, the
pamphlet says:
'The growth of Washington timber
is remarkable in many ways. For one
thing it has single trees of extraordinary
size. A King county tree recently cut
measured nine feet in diameter at the
butt, four feet eight inches at the top,
was 1856 feet long and scaled 1000 feet
of clear lumber, without knot or blem'
jsh. From cedar log % feet long
$4,000 five to two and one-quarter lS.
inch Perfection shingles were manufac.
tured, worth upwards OF $3.50.
"rhe red fir is not infrequently $50
feet high, the pine 100 feet, the silver
fir $50 feet, the black spruce $50 feet
and white oak 70 feet. Cedars have
been found 81 feet in diameter and 100
feet high. Trees from six to eight feet
In diameter are frequently seen in the
forests of this region"

PUERTO RlCO'S SHAPE.
Island Is Not the Freak That Spanish
Surveys Have Made 1t.

Island Is Not the Freak That Spanish
Surveys Have Made 1t.
Porto Rico New York. Nov. 16.-A
special to the Times from Washington
says: One OF the most curious results
of the annexation of Puerto Rico will
be all alteration in the shape OF the is-
land as it is known to the world. The
coast survey is now at work finding
out what the real shape of Puerto
Rico is, and it has already learned
enough to show that the old Spanish
surveys are not only unreliable and
worthless, but that they gave a posi-.
lively false impression of the formation
OF the coast.
Puerto Rico has been OF an oblong
shape. 1t has looked as ii the sea, dis
gusted with the queer shapes assumed
by the islands, had determined to throw
above its surface at least one island as
even in contour as cigar-box, just to
show that it could be done. The coast
survey is beginning to find out that
Puerto Rico has considerable Irregular
tiles. At the eastern end there is a
long, northwestern slant, into the
ocean. This will make the island big
ger than had been supposed.
No one can tell what shape Puerto
Rico will be when it is finally surveyed
as an American possession, but it
seems certain that it will not be the
insular freak it has appeared ON the
Spanish surveys.

Manila, Nov. 16.-Further details
regarding the grounding of the Charles.
ton show that she struck an uncharted
coral reef 10 Lilies east of Camiguin
island. Her stern was almost sub.
merged, and the bow almost out OF
water. A heavy sea was on, and the
cruiser began rolling violently. The
water.tight doors were quickly closed,
but were stove in under the engine de.
partment. the largest of the ship.
After the first efforts to right her,
the officers feared she might slide off,
because OF the heavy sea, and they
abandoned the attempt to save her..
The Charleston was returning from a
five weeks cruise along the eastern
coast of Luzon, and Admiral Watson
was beginning to be uneasy. He sup
posed, however, that she had joined
General Wheaton's expedition.
In naval circles the accident is con-
sidered quite unavoidable. The only
wonder is that there are not more such
disaster in Philippine waters, which
are most indifferently charted.
The Charleston lies practically in the
open sea, and there is no hope of saw.
ing her or the valuable paraphernalia
and contents OF the cruiser.

MADE A HARD FIGHT.


American Volunteers.
Manila, Nov. 16.-The Thirty-third
infantry, in one of the hardest two
hours engagements OF the war, with an
equal force OF insurgents, five miles
from San Fabian, Saturday, lost one
officer and five men killed, and one Off.
Ger and l2 men wounded. The Ameri.
cans captured 20 Filipinos and 100
rifles, and found 81 insurgent dead lying
in the trenches and rice fields. Many
more Filipinos, doubtless, were killed
or wounded.
The insurgents are supposed to have
retreated toward Dagupan. 1t was i'm.
possible to pursue them, rs the Ameri.
can troops were exhausted, and their
supply of ammunition was low.
The outposts killed five Filipinos
during the fight. The body of the Fill
Pine lieutenant. colonel commanding
was found among the killed.
The regiment returned to San Fabian
Sunday, it being impossible to get sup.
plies over the roads.

OVER TWO BILLIONS
Foreign Commerce of 1899
Breaks All Records.
A REDUCTION IN BREADSTUFFS
Hut This Loss Is More Than Offset by
Our Astonishing Sales of
Merchandise.

Washington, Nov. 2l.-The foreign
commerce of the United States seems
likely to make its highest record of the
century in the closing year OF that Pc
Rod. The October exports are larger
than those OF any preceding October,
the total for the 10 months ending with
October is greater than the total for the
corresponding period in any preceding
year, and it is apparent that for the
first time in our history the foreign
commerce OF the year will exceed w.
600, 900, 900. For the 10 months end
ing with October, 1899, the figures OF
the treasury bureau of statistics show
the total exports to be $1,020, 242, 900,
while in the corresponding months or
last year they were 1897, 900.
This remarkable increase i'll exporta.
lions is the more surprising because OF
this absence of the excessive demand
abroad for DIR breadstuffs, which char
acterized the year 1898. In that year
the short crops abroad and plentiful
supplies of breadstuffs of all kinds in
the United States resulted in an abnor
mally large expectation of breadstuffs.
SO that the expectation OF agricultural
products in the present year naturally
falls about $3.50, 900, 900 below that OF
the corresponding period OF last year.
Yet the total expectations for the IL
months are, as already indicated, more
than SAC, 900, 900 in excess OF those Of
last year.
1t is easy, however, to find the cause
of this remarkable growth in our total
expectations, which occurs in the face
of the reduction of our expectation OF
breadstuffs. An examination of the
detailed figures OF the nine months OF
the year already accessible shows that
the exports of manufactures in that
period were $50, 100000 in excess OF
those of the corresponding months OF
the preceding year, and sos, 1000, 900
greater than those OF the same months
of 1897, while the products of the
mine were $4,OOO,O00 greater than
those of the corresponding months OF
last year, and those of the forest x6,'
600. 900 in excess of the corresponding
months OF the preceding year. Thus the
years expectation of agricultural pro-
auctions will be quite up to the nor
NAL, while those OF manufacture. min
ing and forestry will exceed those of
last year, and indeed, of any year in
our history.
Imports have increased more than
exports, for they were unusually low in
1898. while exports We're unusually
high in that year. The total importa-
ton in the 10 mouths ending with DC.
tober, 1899, is 1868, 1000, against
1927 1884, 900 in the corresponding
months of last year.

More Evidence Il Collected by Senator
Mason.
New York, Nov. 2O.-The United
States senate committee, represented by
Senator Mason, of Illinois, today re.
sumed its investigation into the adult
teration OF food prepared for market.
DIR. Edward II. jenkins, an agricul-
tural chemist, and vice-director of the
Connecticut agricultural experiment
station, declared that the general adul-
teration OF food products had increased
with business competition and the de-
mand for cheap wares. In his five
years. experience, DR.. Jenkins said he
had found only one adulterant that was
poisonous, and that was coloring
matter in temperance drink. Coco
shells, prune stones and like. he testi-
fled, sold as spices. None of these
adulterants, except the one color, was
hurtful to health, but all were frauds
on the consumer. More than half the
jellies examined were made Of glucose
and starch paste, colored with artific.
ial coloring, favored with artificial
flavoring, and preserved with salycilic
acid. The cheaper grades of coffee
were found to contain large proper
ton OF Canada peas, pea pellets, wheat
middlings and chicory.

eRApsrREEr's REVIEW.
Strength Of Prices the Leading Featuro0
Of the Trade Situation.

OF the Trade Situation.
Bradstreet's says:
Strength of prices, a natural outcome
of the past and present active demand,
is still the leading feature of the trade
situation, notwithstanding unseasonably
warm weather in some sections of the
country tends to restrict retail trade
and necessarily exercise some effect on
recorders and collections by jobbers.
The strength of textile, both raw and
manufactured, has been further accen.
tuated during the week, increases being
noted in raw cotton, wool and hemp.
Wool has been equally strong, al.
though transactions are smaller and
material gain in prices is to be noted,
while from the manufactured goods
branch it was reported of confident
strength and of future advances in
mems wear, goods and carpets.
Cereals appear to have reached q
dead level, with prices showing little
or no change. The dizziness of wheat
at domestic markets finds explanation
in Bradstreet's statistics of worlds
stocks, which indicate q gain for the
month OF over $4,000, 900 bushels, con.
tributed entirely from American
sources, however, as foreign supplies
showed slight shrinkage.
Anxiety in lumber is feature at
many markets, and strength of prices
is no less marked. Signs accumulate
that shoe manufacturers and jobbers
are meeting with success in securing
recently advanced prices. Hides and
leather are sympathetically strong, and
shoe manufacturers are actively EN-.
ployed.
In iron and steel there is rather more
irregularity noted. Active demand ON
railroad account has induced an ad.
vance in iron and steel bars of S. per
ton, but steel billets are lower. There
is heavy volume of business reported
in pig iron for late 1900 delivery, and
that product is slightly higher at the
East,

METEORS NOT DUE.
An Error Has Been Made and the Leo.
nids Will Re Here Next Year.

nitis viii Re Here Next Year.
Washington. Nov. 2O.-"The shower
of Leonids will not occur this season.
The brilliant spectacle has been an.
nounced one year too soon." This an.
nouncement has just been made by DR..
l.. J. See, one of the most advanced as
tronomers in the government service.
Astronomical calculations have not
erred as to the reriodicity OF the
Leonids," said DR.. See, "but the gen.
orally accepted conclusion as to the
time it takes the Leonids to pass the
earth's orbit has been wrong. After
the most careful observations made
with the best instruments in the SER
vice of the government, and after the
most unerring calculations in strict
conformity to astronomical laws, ! am
thoroughly convinced that the period OF
passage is two years, instead Of one, as
heretofore believed.
"The Leonids have been within the
earth's orbit for year now, and will
remain with us for another IL months.
The meteoric shower has not been as
heavy this time as there was good
scientific reason for believing it would
be. That is because we have not yet
struck the thick part of the trail. BY
my calculations, this collision will oc-
cur in the middle of November, 1900.
Then the resultant display of burning
meteors will he as brilliant as the one
observed by Humboldt in Venezuela in
1899.
"The present visitation is counter
part of that in 1868. At that time
there were displays in two years, that
OF 1869 being about as feeble as the
present has been, and that OF the sue
ceeding year being nearly as striking
as that recorded by Humboldt.
