Exports From Tampa.

The total value OF the exports of phos-
phate. lumber and cattle from Tampa for
the fiscal year just closed is $1.546,l6l
This is the statement issued from the
Custom House and it is a good showing
for new business, or, rather, 1t is COM
paratively new, except the phosphate
business. II is but recently that the ex-
port Of lumber was an iten there at all.
while the cattle business IS divided be-
tween Tampa end Punta Gorda. owing to
the fact that the latter place is close to
the ranges, as wen as Punta Rassa. The
exports have begun TO grow. and there
81 every Indication that for the ensuing
fiscal year there will be a large increase
in all the exports from that port.

Hanna today and Governor Roosevelt
Three hundred and fifty miners besides
the women came out to listen to the
speech. When this place was named
Mark Hanna was a director in the Pa
cific Coal company, whose mines are
here.
Governor Roosevelt reminded his
hearers of the times four and six years
ago, when it was difficult for miners
to get work. He asked them to COM
pare those times with the present
when all were employed and all OBJ
tanning good wages, and tell if they
wanted to change back again to the
hard times from which they had
emerged with so much difficulty.
Laramie was reached at about 2:30
o'clock and here two speeches were
made to permit all who wished to see
and hear Governor Roosevelt.
The special train arrived here at
6:45 this evening. Excursion trains
from various parts of the state brought
in a number of visitors. Two evening
meetings were arranged for, one at
Turner hall and the other at the opera
house. Both places were crowded and
both audiences were addressed by Gov
ernor Roosevelt.

was made at Rawlins at o'clock. He
addressed a large audience in the opera
house. At this point this morning the
regular passenger train, on which were
Perry S. Heath. Colonel r. @ Kerens
and party, bound for Chicago, passed

exchanged between the two parties
during the few moments of the stop.
