VALUABLE STATISTICS.

The Herald presents vast and valu-
able array of state statistics with this
issue. Great pains have been taken TO
gather and to verify them. In the alb
sence of any statistical bureau this
has been no small undertaking. The
figures representing the business
wealth. increase and earnings of the
state in every important branch of in
dustry, were obtained from experts and
specialists engaged in the various pur-
suits-men whose business it is to keep
track of their respective lines of trade
and industry.
Another thing about The Herald s
statistics: They are fresh and up-to-
date They are not compiled from last
years tables nor based upon anybody's
uncertain estimate. They are gathered
from the various firms, business con-
Germs, assessment rolls and public Off
Gals of the state.
1t is a compilation that is at once
conservative and as nearly accurate
as it is possible to obtain in the alb
sence of a state bureau of statistics.
