a quarter of billion dollars. The value of
the goods exchanged during the past fiscal
year reached nearly two and quarter bill

Since the opening of the century our COM
merce with the rest of the world has in
creased more than twelve fold. IL was
chiefly in the export trade that the enor-
nous growth of the century occurred Our
domestic exports during 1900, with

forty times as large as in 1900. The total

TO GET RECRUITS.

Two Mormon elders have arrived in
the city and expect to remain here dur
ing the summer and do missionary
work in the cause which they espouse.
These are Thos. Reese, of Bever, Utah.
and Farley p. Peterson, of Ephraim,
Utah, and have taken up quarters at
SIG Adams street. They will distribute
tracts about town and talk with people
on the subject of Mormonism and when
the weather permits will hold meetings
on the streets and will also work in adj
jacent territory. When a sufficient
number of converts have been secured
they will rent hall or erect a temple.
Both gentlemen are single and wish the
people to understand these facts: That
they are not here for the purpose of
getting wives for their following; that
polygamy is not a tenet of the Mormon
religion; that in an early day it was
practiced but fc-' ten years past has
been prohibited in Utah; that at the
time it was practiced only 2 per cent.
of the Mormons were polygamists.

CLAIM FOR POOR RELIEF.

district attorney of Marathon county,
enclosing bills against the city of
Stevens Poip+ aggregatinG $537.26 for
poor relief rnished f. Bruzewitz and
family who were claimed to be proper
charges against this city. There are
two bills, one for S153.41 for aid fur
nished by the city of Wausau, includ-
ing $22.14 expended for the Empey
family, and the other for $3S3S5 for aid
given by the village of Spencer.
Mayor Cashin is investigating the
matter and from the information now
at hand is of the opinion that the bills
are not proper charges against this city
for the reason that Bruzewitz did not
acquire a residence here. He came
here with his family in 1898, joined the
Modern WOOdmen and after short
time removed to Spencer. He was
gwen sums at various times amounting
to 5000 by the local Woodmen, and upon
his death recently an insurance policy
