The prosperity OF the United states
is counted as reason of the prosper
ity of Great Britain and her colonies
by the British Trade Journal, copy
of which has just reached the Treas
ury Bureau of Statistics $50 great
has been the prosperity of the United
States" it says, during the past two
years that the demand among the
people of the Republic for many
classes of agricultural produce and of
cattle has exceeded the supply.
Hence, there has been a falling of in
the exports of these commodities to
Europe, and the resdlt is witnessed in
the higher prices now prevailing
there. Yet another reason for the
rise in prices was the shortage of the
corn crop of 1901.
"At presentrthe article adds, there
is no sign of any falling off in the
United States home market. Indus
trial activity continues at a high
pressure, and even the enormous pro-
duction of pig iron amounting now to
about 100000 tons per annum) of
the United States is inadequate 70
meet the requirements of its general
bnilding' shipbuilding, hardware. and
other trades in which iron or steel is
employed, aud the consequence has
been that during the last few weeks
large shipments of pig iron and steel
have been made to the North Ameri-
can Republic from Great Britain and
Germany"
Commenting upon the effect of the
extreme prosperity in the United
States upon conditions in Europe and
in British Colonies, the article adds:
$50 long as this business activity lasts
in North America there is little prob
ability of fall in the price of meat
and other food stuhs The consumers
in Europe are complaining of the in
creased prices resulting from these
altered conditions. Nearly all classes
cereals and of meat and other provis-
ions, which used to be received in in.
creasing quantities from the United
States, have been raised in value, and
the consumers are beginning to ask
whether the British Colonies and
South American countries cannot
come TO their assistance. There il
every encouragement, therefore, foI
the cattle and wheat growers of Aus.
tralia, Canada, and of the RIVER Plate
TO extend their production and TO OBJ
tain share of the higher prices now
prevailing in the markets of Europe
Europe under present circumstances
is able to take all those countries car
send, whether in the shape of live
cattle or frozen meat, as well as in
cereals ami cotton. The last named
commodity is the source of much anx'
iety to the Lancashire cotton manu-.
facturer, who finds that he is almost
entirely dependent upon the United
States for this indispensable commod
ity. He is, therefore, anxious TO buy
from other countries and to encourage
the growth and development of the
cotton trade in South America. Thi.
is condition of things which has not
existed for more than a generation
and it opens up vista of prosperity
for our Colonies and for South Am
erican countries, which until now was
supposed to belong only to the North
American Republic"

The state tax this year is about
$4,000 less than in 1901. and the
tramp industry is also minimized, but
this gain is in part Offset by the
smallpox epidemic, the board being
confronted with a great array OF
something like 900 bills aggregating
almost $4,000.
The report of the committee on
printing was presented. There were
five bids for printing 1900 pamphlets
of the October and January sessions
as follows:

The November McClure's. which
appears with permanent addition OF
sixteen pages of reading matter, is a
striking and memorable number. I'm
doubtedly the most important maya
zine article of the month is the first
installment of Ida NJ. TarbelPs long
announced " History of the Standard
Oil Company" which it is safe to
wagar will be the most widely read
serial of the'year. In the Birth of
an Industry" Miss Tarbell outlines
what had been accomplished in the oil
regions before the Standard Oil was
born. 1t is story that finds its par
allel only in the history of the dis
covery of gold in California. 1t is
better reading than anovel. Following
Miss Tarbell comes a tale by Conan
Doyle, seductively baited with the
title, The Leather Funnel" and with
gorgeous illustrations by A. Castaine.
And the story is tip-top one, too.
McClure's for November is an .eXcep-
tionally good one.

Tax Appropriations small
Pox Bills.

From Ionia Sentinel
The board of supervisors OF lonla
county finished the work of the Oc-
tober session Saturday morning and
adjourned in time to dsaw their sal
aries and get away on noon trains
Some important matters were dis
posed of Thursday, not being hereto
fore referred to in the SentinePs re-
ports One feature was the adoption
of the report of the committee on
ways and means, the following being

year:

Supervisor Angel offered an amend
ment that ii go to the Sentinel, the
advantage of the Sentinel's 5000 cir
culation being presented. The
amendment was lost, the only ones
voting for it being Angel, Mattison,
Taft, Sage and Voelker.
The plum was then awarded to the
Wave, bond of $50 to be furnished.
The committee, Supervisors Pitt,
Faxon and Fender, on auditing bills
for contagious diseases. next present
ed its report This committee prob
ably had the hardest task of any dur
ing the session and worked diligently.
In the 500 or 900 bills the amount
claimed was 50, 7s6.47 and the amount
allowed was SS,S62 %. All these bills
had to be gone over carefully and the
task was a trying one for the com
mittee.
The committee also submitted a
resolution censuring certain claim
ants where they thought the small
pox bills an imposition.
A resolution by Supervisor Yeo-
mans, heartily approving the course
taken by Prosecuting Attorney Clute
and instructing the clerk to notify
the common council of Ionia that no
more city disturbance bills would be
allowed, was adopted. The board
considers that the city can care for
its own disorderly business in the in
terest of both the city and the county.
In fact the board showed no DISPOSE
ton to lift its hand and allow the
tramp industry 10 be revived

The DecIinin5 Pressure.

Mr.. W. E. Grifhths, superiuten-
dent of the J. M. Guffey Petroleum
company, Is not an alarmist, and
he sees nothing out Of the ordinary
In the fact that the pressure of the
Spindle Top gushers has decltDed
to a point which no longer permits
of flowing wells In the Beaumont
field. In a recent interview in the
New Orleans Picayuue, he says:
THE fact that the Beaumont field
has become pumping field Is not
at all alarming. 1t seems remark
able to me that the gusbers on
Spindle Top lasted as long as they
did. My experience in the oil busi-
ness has shown me that tn pump
Ing life of a we'll Is always greater
than its gushing life. The only
exception I have known were in
certain sections Of the Pennsylva'
MIA field.
THE only people injured by the
playing out Of tue gusher are the
small oil men, who have not Suth
cient room to construct pumps. |
don't think there will be any ma
terial effect on the general m 4rket,
and even If there Is. it will SION 60
back to the Old basis when pumps
a;e established. I never saw such
a great waste Of oil anywhere as
there was In the Beaumont field
from the time that the first gusher
was brought In to the time the
field changed.
The above lite m Is taken from the
Derrick The J NJ. Guffey Petro-
leum Co. Is the name under which
the Standard Oh company is oper-
atipg In Texas, which explains
why the Derrick Is booming and
defending this oil company. All
the same the bottom has about fell
out of the Beaumont field and salt
water Is being produced now IL
stead Of oil.
