That Spokane Syndicate.

A l.. Stone, special western
agent Of the San Francisco Exam
aminer, is in Grangeville. Mr..
Stone also represents capitalists
who are seeking good copper propo-
sitions, and will probably examine
those which have recently come to
light in central Idaho.
The Lewiston people informed
Mr.. Stone that Grangeville was
merely a stage station. Senator
Stacy handed him the note-paper
used by the firm of Stacy 4 Co. I,
ON the back of which map Of the
rout to Buffalo Hump is printed.
Thereon Grangeville appears in
the smallest of type, and is not
ven spelled out. Lewiston of
course is in heavy black letters.
Mr. Stone reiterateS the state
ment that the Tribune has been
purchased by the Sweeney & Clarke
syndicate that already controls the
Spokane papers. He believes the
time has come when Grangeville
should swing loose from outside in
terests, standing upon her own
basi, and Independent action.
A pamphlet issued b> the o. r.
Il N. concerning the Buffalo Hump
country is displayed by Mr.. Stone,
the first copy that has reached this
country. He believes that the @.
r. & n, people could lie induced to
enter into Il fight against the Spo-
kane combination which is boom
ing the Republic and downing this
country. The Spokene syndicate
have wired bad reports through the
associated press dispatches clear
across the continent to New York,

A New Cigar Factory.

Walter ii. MUMMY, one of the most
widely known cigar manufacturers in
central Michigan, has opened up his
new factory in the Haarer block and is
ready for bigger and better trade
than ever before.
Altho started in Corunna in 1884, Mr..
MUMMY has felt for some time that he
was remaining there only at a sacrifice
to his business interests in spite of the
retail trade he had there which he will
not attempt to carry on here.
Mr.. MUMMY has his new location fit
ted up with every convenience for car
rying on large business and turning
out the very best brands of cigars The
basement is fitted up expressly for stor-
ing large supplies of tobacco, while
the work room on the first floor is
roomy, light and clean. The front part
of the store is used as an office and for
the carrying on of the wholesale work
of packing, shipping, etc
The quality of goods has been
known in Owosso, and vicinity for
years, and now with improved facili-
ties for doing the work better, cleaner,
and on shorter notice than ever, and
having cast in his lot with Owosso
business men, he should and doubtless
will receive larger share of the Owosso
trade in his line than he could attend to
before. Mr. Mumby expects to give
his personal supervision to his factory,
preferring to keep representative on
the road in order to stay in his
factory and keep his goods up to high
standard He will continue the most
popular of his old brands and expects
to push few good new ones.

TRADE WITH NEW COLONIES.
Statement Issued by the War Depart
ment-Surprfsing Growth.

WASHINGTON, Sept 10.-The War De-
partment made public to-day statement of
the trade between the United States and all
of her colonies under military control and
with Cuba as well, for the seven months of
1899. ending July 81. making comparison with
the year 1898. The exports from the United
State to Cuba for the seven months were
$14, 1888 in 1899, against S4 ass, 937 in 1898.
The imports into the United States from
Cuba for the same period were s19,976956 in
1899, against $12,474,710 in 1898. The exports
from the United States to Porto Rico for
the seven months were 81, 299, POI in 1899,
against s569,110 in 1898. Imports into the
United States from Porto Rico during the
same time were s3,379,944 in 1899, against
s2,253,SOO in 1898. The exports from the
United States to the Philippine islands from
Jan. TO July 81 were $3s6, lv9 In 1899, against
S65, 736 in 1858. The imports into the United
States from the Philippines for the same
period were s3,274lS4 in 1899, against $2,2s3 775
in 1893.
The trade of the United States with the
various islands when stated by months
shows a marvellous growth OF our commerce.
The growth of exports by months has been
very gratifying in all the islands and espe-
cially so in the Philippine islands. The only
fiscal year since 1877 showing for the entire
twelve months a larger value of merchan-
disc exported from the United States to
Cuba than is shown by the first seven
1894. Ii the same ratio is maintained until
the end of the year their imports into Cuba
from the United States will be larger than
the exports from the United States TO that
island in any fiscal year in the entire history
of the trade between this country and Cuba.
The imports into the United States from
Cuba from Jan. l to July 81, 1899. were
greater than the corresponding imports for
either of the entire fiscal years 1897 and 1898.
II the same ratio is maintained for the re-
mainder of this year the imports into this
country from Cuba will exceed $S2, 900 and
be more than double those of the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1898.
The imports from Porto Rico into the
United States for the first seven months of
1899 were larger than those of any of the
preceding entire fiscal years since 1880. OK
cepting 1893 while the exports 10 Porto Rico
for the FIRST seven months of 1899 have been
exceeded only by three OF the fiscal years
since 1871.
AS FAR as the exports from the United
States 10 the Philippines are concerned for
the first seven months OF this year, under
American occupation, they are larger than
those of any previous year in our history.
Not only this but they are more than double
those Of any year, excepting only the years
1872 1852, 1850, 1870 and 1872

THE GRAND ARMY RESOLUTIONS.
Leaders Not Stampeded by Misguided
Minority.

The Grand Army of the Republic is TO be
congratulated on the dignified and conserva-
tive manner in which its annual encamp-
ment handled the pension Question. There
was much temptation TO indulge In radical
declarations. Impressed with the idea that
they have not been fairly treated. the vet
Grams have, for some months, been storing
up the walls of their wrath. Thousands of
them had written to the committee which
had the matter in charge. insisting that a
cnange I'm the head of the Pension Bureau
ment could make. Personal feeling was
wrought TO an intense degree, and ii needed
only the least lack of self-control to start
whirlwind.
Happily. the control of the veterans over
themselves was one of the most gratifying
features OF the encampment The report of
the pension committee, submitted by Chair
man Brown, was a model of fair treatment,
based upon patient investigation of facts.
1t conceded the right Of difference of opin-
Ion in the construction of a law, but very
properly insisted that the veteran was not
overstepping the limit of propriety In seek
ing the most favorable Interpretation for
outgrowth of this report. were couched in
the same respectful and conservative spirit.
and were a credit to the gathering which
unanimously adopted them.
There is an extreme element in the Grand
Army which wants everything in the way of
pensions: but there is also another element
dealt most generously with the soldiers OF
the civil war and fears that further demands
may create a change or sentiment In the
country. Between these two extremes there
Is a middle path into which wise judgment
has conducted the Grand Army. 1t Is out
lined in the resolutions just adopted IL
leads I'm the direction of sympathy for the
soldier instead OF harshness. 1t asks that
II an indefinite law must be construed, this
work shall be done i'm friendly spirit.
Tho President will soon be called upon to
decide whether hostility in the Pension Bu-
reau administration is justly unjustly
charged. The country can await his deci-
sion with full reliance upon his purpose to
be fair as we'll as sympathetic, TO be just as
well as generous. In the meantime the
Grand Army has lost nothing in dignity by
the conservative action Of it's encampment.

endless succession.
The beauty and extent of the buildings
themselves. as now completed, compare
with the best product of the centennial ex-
position or the Chicago worlds fair. The
United States government, in addition TO
very large appropriation towards the build
ings themselves has expended $4,000 In the
selection of samples from abroad in wares,
business data and samples, which form an
exhibit not only of value to the business
men who visit the exposition, but are of alb
sorbing interest to the more curious of the
general public. There are miles of aisles
and hundreds of thousands of displays along
them in the buildings themselves, and the
grounds and approaches to the five struct-
ures comprising the main buildings and
their sister groups are very pleasing. A
feature of the exhibit will be an extensive
display of automobiles. every sort OF horse
less vehicle having place in the display.
A brilliant musical programme has been
arranged for the exposition. which in
cludes the cooperation of the United States
composer, DamroSch'S great orchestra. the
Banda Rosa, Innis's famous concert band
and the Municipal Band of Philadelphia.
These musicians will be supplemented by
succession of celebrated organists who will
give recitals on the gigantic three-manual
pipe organ in the auditorium. These con-
certs will continue during each afternoon
and evening of the exposition.
On the esplanade the public finds great
variety of amusements. rivaling in some re-
spects the famous midway of the Chicago
fair. This includes Chinese village of 450
persons and all the variety of Chinese re-
ligious and domestic life. There are also
such things as an Oriental theater and In
dian village. an old Southern plantation,
lakes. and many picture shows and novel
ties of all kinds.
The International Commercial Congress,
which is to be opened in the exposition au-
ditorium about the 10th of October, under
the supervision of Director Wilson, will be
represented. in addition TO the presence of
President Diaz OF Mexico, by thirty for
eign governments, and more than Us foreign
chambers of commerce have named dele
eatss. The sessions of the congress will con-
tinue about three weeks.
