Apparent Decrease In Manufacturer,
The apparent decrease in manufac-
lures, which amounts to $23,342, 5S3, is
due chiefly to the absences of figures
showing exports to Hawaii and Porto
Rico, which are estimated Mt about
$25, 100000 for the year. and largely
consisted of manufactures. In two
important articles of manufacture,
however, the exports of 1901 fall be-
low those of 1900. The total exports
|, of copper in 1901 were 252,769,32
pounds, valued at $41, 260,376, against
33333, 340. 725 pounds in 1900, valued at
! $55, 772, jog, in 1900.
Exports to Asia and OceAnia.
| The exports to each of the contl-
nents, except Asin and Oceania, show
a marked increase over last year. To
Oceania an apparent decrease of 49,
OLD, 900 is entirely due to the absence
! of the Hawaiian figures from the ex-
port statement of 1901. To Asia a
Eeuucllon oI FIO,olu,jo0 is uue III part
to the temporary suspension of exports
to China during the recent period Of
hostilities, and in part to the reduction
in exports of cotton to Japan, as COM
pared with abnormal exports in 1900.
The principal changes in the exports
by countries are: A decrease of $10,-
100000 to Japan and $5,00000O to
China. The exports to Russia in the
fiscal year 1901 were $9,545, 1904,
against $40 ASS, 419 in 1900.

imports of the year were $27 ,26S, 16s

The flames started at 2:30 p. m. in the

brisk breeze was blowing and carried
the flames directly to the great lumber
yards of W'eyerhauser Denkmann,
which were soon seething mass Of

rapid. that the workmen barely had
time to desert the yard, some losing
their coats and dinner pals. The
flames pushed their way into the adj

average value of few thousand dol

escaped only with their lives and the

WITH BOW AND ARROW.
Their SIKH Against Animal
Cunning.

A new class of sportsmen has been
growing up within the last few years,
whose distinguishing characteristic is
based upon the line followed by the
late Maurice Thompson, sportsman
aud author, says the Chicago Journal.
Thompson disdained to use the
shotgun on small game, preferring to
match skin against cunning. He
made it a practice not to kin game
until he was close enough to watch
and study it. SO he took a long bow
and went into the woods after quail
and grouse. He hunted rabbits in the
same manner, and was very success
full.
When he went after quail he stole
upon the flock in its haunts and
picked off the birds with arrows that
made no noise and did not brighten
those that remained. In this way he
grew to know the haunts and hab.
it's Of his quarry as the shotgun
hunter never does. Rabbits he
stallled in a similar manner. The
point to be won was to see the rabbit
in the little form" where it spends
the day, in surroundings that render
it well-nigh invisible, and shoot il he.
fore it could run away. For squirrels
he took an ancient fint-lock rifle.
Most hunters are not handicapping
themselves to this extent, but take
instead of a bow or hintlock a small
rifle with which the head may be
shipped off quail or grouse and a
tiny puncture made in rabbits
