Is A GOOD CUSTOMER
Canada Continues to Increase Pur-
chases from United States.
This Is In spite of the Fact That Spe-
cial Tariff Rates Are Extended
to Dominion by Great
Britain.

Canada continues tn increase her
purchases from the United States, de-
spite the tariff advantages accorded
Great Britain in the fiscal system of
that country. During the nine months
of the present fiscal year for which de-
tails are available, British North Amer
lea showed larger increase in its pur-
chaseS from the United States than
any other political division of Amer
lea. as compared with those of the cor
responding periods of 1900 and 1901.
Our total exports to British NORTH
America increased from S69. s63,i95 in
the nine months of 1900, and S0,N9 l3s
in the same period uf 1901 to $50. gg9. o0i
in the corresponding months of the
current year. To Mexico the increase
during the same period compared with
that of last year was hut Sa,Oo0,0u0. and
10 the West Indies Sl,000,0oo, while the
Central American States showed de-
crease of about Sinn.0nn. and South
America about 81 .OOO.O00 in their pur-
chascs from the United States during
the nine months of the present fiscal
wear as compared with the same period
Of the preceding year.
The continued growth in our com.
mcrce with Canada is the most remark
able when il is remembered that ever
since April, 1897, the United Kingdom
has enjoyed tariff advantages in the
Canadian market, the discrimination
in her favor having ranged from 1917
per cent, in that wear 10 - 1-3per cent.
from and after July |, 1900. Yet the
exports from the United States to Brit
ish North America have increased
wear by year, and our total exports to
that market in the nine months under
review are $1l.935, 400, or lG per cent, in
excess of those for the same period of
1900, and So, 10i, sec. or four per cent,
in excess of those of the corresponding
months of last year.
\ comparison Of our exports to Can
ada in the irSLnine -mnn1hs-u f-lhl
present fiscal year with those If the
corresponding months Immediately
preceding the reduction in the Cana
dian tariff in favor of Great britain
shows that our exports to Canada
meantime have increased about - per
cent, being for the earlier period Si6,-
7j2.0iS and for the nine months end
ing with March. 1902. SN0.o99. 00i.

ton with the railroad officials.

"He was a foe without hate, u

He was as gentle as a woman in life,

AREoR DAY OBSERVANCE
URGED IN RURAL SCHOOLS

County Superintendent of Schools
;. j. Ferguson has issued Il circular
calling the attention of teachers
throughout the county to the pro ella
nation of Governor Yates appointing
Friday, April %. arbor day. Mr..
Ferguson does not advise suspending
operations looking toward the beau
tifying of the school grounds till
arbor day. lie urges that the yards
be cleaned at once and that the plant
ing of trees and shrubbery he begun
as soon as possible because those
planted early are more apt to live
than those planted late. The circu-
lar points out that the programs
carried out on arbor day will mean
more to the children if they have
done at least part of the work of
planting in advance. The appeal to
the teachers is made on the ground
that he outdoor surroundings of the
schools have an important effect up
on the characters of the pupils.
