ity, there not being single case Of
hardness during the month.
As usual, Miss Smithson's room
secured the banner for enrolment
OF new pupils, twenty-four pupils
having been entered upon her re-
gister for the first time
The total enrolment has now
reached 467, which is more than
seventy-six per cent of the cnum err
alton for the last census of the dis
trict. This in itself is considered
remarkable even in the schools of
the northern and eastern states
where they boast of the irgreat edu-
cational systems. While | have
not the figures to hand for COM
parison, | do not believe there is
another city school in Arizona that
can present such an encouraging
report upon enrolment
While the enrolment in itself
will not show the true condition OF
the schools, the fact that the lowest
per cent of attendance, which was
in the kindergarten department,
was ninety, together with the fur
ther facts that there were recorded
but seventy-two cases of hardness
and that 214 pupils were neither
absent nor tardy are sufficiently
conclusive for the statement that
each month finds an improvement
in our schools.
The number OF visits by patrons
reached ga, this being more than
twice the number recorded the
preceding month.
The honor roll numbered 100
for the month. This, as all the
work on the several different de-
partments of the school, is moving
to higher planes, and | trust that
in my next report can record a
greater number of honor pupils.
AS was reported for October, l
can state that the pupils are doing
most excellent work and are working
with an ever increasing zeal with
their faithful teachers for advance
ment each succeeding month.
feel that the visits from the
many patrons during the past
month and their general interest
and cooperation with the teachers
and pupils for the betterment OF
the schools have had much to do
with our work until | can make
the report OF the splendid standing
of our schools.
Would like for the good patrons
to remember that they are at all
times welcome to visit any room in

has been introduced to any race. with
the single exception of the black race,
they are ready to consume it from
that time on. The Asiatic rice eaters
are as fond Of wheat flour as the white
race and as ready to eat it, If they can
get 1t at fair price,"
The question of fair price being
from the American farm to the Chi
nese port, his giant carriers, with their
capacity Of 1,25O,O00 bushels of wheat
or Its flour equivalent to a single car
go, will become important adjuncts to
northwestern agriculture.
AS showing the possibilities Of the
Oriental market to the American
wheat grower, Mr.. Hill calls attention
to the subject thus:
If they (the Orientals) did buy
flour, even at the rate of one bushel
per capita, we in this country would
have to go to eating corn pone. We
simply could not sell it to them. If
we could sell them one bushel per
capita, it would take $50, 100000 BUSH
els to supply China and Japan alone, to
say nothing Of the Straits Settlements
and other countries having large pop
ulations."
Facts Fulfil Prophecy.
That the Great Northern presidents
calculations are no dream is shown
by the exports of the past dozen
months. OF the varied Oriental mar
kets to which wheat was exported from
Puget sound during the fiscal year
ending June 80, the following partial
list suffices to show that the American
wheat farm has numerous hungry GUS
tcmers across seas: To Yokohama,
144,196 bushels; Algoa Bay, 326,61O;
Caljao, 305,S Cape Town, 1,360,33O;
East London, 442,481; Kobe 10000;

cargo-carriers on the high seas to han
die this commerce.
Commerce OF the Orient

Commerce of the Orient.
James ]. Hill is tho prophet who
breaches China and Japan as market
for the products Of the American farm
and factory. He has already placed
thousands of tons of American wheat.
cotton, provisions. -four, lumber and
steel rails in the Orient, and the
movement Is only begun. g
The accuracy of Mr.. Hills foresight
as regards American markets in the
Orient Is shown by the fact, that, al
though It is only ten years since the
Great Northern reached Puget sound,
the exports of that customs district
have already grown from $5,085,95S in
1883 to $S2,400,552 for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1903, an increase of
s2I000,000, or $40 per cent, in ten
years.
Exports to China alone from the
United States have grown from less
than $4,000,000 in 1898 to $24,OO0,OOO
last year, while exports to Hongkong,
the British market in the Orient, have
grown from $4,000,0O0 to $8,000,000.
How growth of our Oriental trade
Is developing at many times the ratio
of commercial growth with European
and other world markets Is shown by
the following comparison:
From 1893 to 1908 our exports to

els" said Mr.. Hill in his recent re-
marks on this subject, II have not
the slightest doubt that 1t would adj
vance the price Of what we do send
to Europe 10 to 20 cents"
1t was with this idea in mind that
MI. Till pushed his lines to Puget
sound. Seattle, Everett and Whatcom
are 1850 miles nearer the Orient via
north Pacific waters than San Fran
cisco via Hawaii. A saving Of 1880
miles each way on the haul means a
round trip saving Of eight days in the
length OF the voyage fol-, twelve
knot freight vessel. The logic Of the
geographic position, therefore, makes
Puget sound the gateway to Oriental
commerce.
1t Leads San Francisco.
Puget sound shipping has scarcely
begun It's career, and yet Mr.. Hills
predictions are already being fulfilled;
for Puget sound vessel tonnage al
ready exceeds that of San Francisco.
Deep sea tonnage, engaged in handling
exports Increased from 922,946 in 1893
to l,340,765 in 1902 at Puget Sound,
as compared with the slight increase
from 1,134,277 to 1,1S0,675 during the
ten years at San Francisco.
Puget sound exports to Asia are only
begun, and yet in 1902 Puget sound
shipped $s,G00,000 more Of domestic
products to Asia than was shipped via
San Francisco. The exact figures of
Asiatic shipments in the Pacific export
trade were $18,440,424 for Puget
sound and $10,1S7,O95 for San Fran
cisco. Even before the great cargo
carriers have reached their Puget
sound home, therefore, the predictions
OF Mr.. Hill as regards the Pacific SUI
rremacy Of that port has come true.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1903-11-26

When the Minnesota and Da-
kota, whose combined capacity is
5000 car loads of freight, or 200 train
loads Of twenty-five cars to the train,
arrive at Seattle and open up Puget
sound commerce in earnest, and the
allied half-dozen fleets of lesser Pa
ciic steamships which have arranged
to meet Great Northern trains at Puget
sound docks get organized for a
thoro-going commercial campaign,
Puget sound exports will double and
treble and Pacific rates will be split
in half.
Giant Carrier Minnesota.
How it will be possible for the big
ships to knock existing ocean rates
into cooked hat and yet pay dividends
on their capital Is apparent from the
following significant remark made to
a representative Of T h e ourna
at the time Of the Minnesota g
launching from the Groton shipyards
in New London, Conn.,. on April 16
last.
1.-THE beauty Of that vessel out there
in the harbor," said Mr.. Hill, pointing
out to the great black hull which
doomed up against the sky several
times the height and length of the
biggest vessels in the harbor. lis this
while she carries six times the car

be operated at the cost Of two. That
is to say her cost Of operation per ton
Of cargo is only one-third that OF pres
ent Pacific steamships"
| In other words, the Minnesota
and Dakota, by reason Of their vast
capacity and their economy Of mech
anism and operation, could cut rates
in half and still realize as great profits
on each revenue freight ton handled
| aa the overap pa Pacific carrier This
means that the Puget sound carriers
have full command and control of the
Pacific shipping situation.

796,297; Port Said, 188,006; Sydney,
352,878; the above ports receiving
more Puget sound wheat than Europe.
Flour shipments from Puget sound
for the twelve months ending June 80
last included 2S,031 barrels to Algoa
Bay, 1850 to Dalny, 50,241 to Dur
Honolulu, 554,711 to Hongkong, Ill.,
944 to Kobe, 36,ssS to Moji. 1860 to

$50 to Vladivostock, 362,175 barrels
to Yokohama, and varying amounts to
such other Oriental ports as Chefoo,
Manila, Tientsin and Toxic. In
short, no less than twenty-five ORR
entail ports bought American flour dur
ing the past fiscal year to the extent
of over 100000 barrels via Puget
sound alone.
Lumber exports from Puget sound
included 12,293,s64 feet to China, IT,
S23,973 to Manila, 12,736,868 to Ha-
wall. 24,376,826 to Australia, 20,272.-
392 to South America, 5,379,337 to
Mexico and Central America, 1885,
1853 to South Africa, as items In a sea
export total of 253, 4O9.993 feet. Ex-
ports to foreign ports were 4o,Ooo,0oO
feet greater for the fiscal year just
closed than the year before.
Puget Sound the Gateway.
The necessity of Pacific market
for the products Of American agricul-
ture has been noted by Mr.. Hill in
many speeches and press interviews
With the population doubling every
thirty years. we shall have loo, 0O0,0 0o
people by 1880, and as commerce
manufacturing and the various profes.
sions can absorb only a minor frac-
ton Of the population, the vast proper
ton must go to the soil and new for
eign markets for the increasing farm
product are absolutely indispensable to
national prosperity. The European
market is taking about as large 8
volume of cereals now as 1t ever vii
be capable Of handling, and the Orient
is the hope Of the American farm
for the future.

per cent.
Doubling every three to nve years,
our exports to the Orient are fast be-
coming a prime factor in the country's
development.
Puget Sound Exports.
Mr.. Hills faith in Puget sound as
a port Of export for American wheat
and flour Is shown by the growth in
wheat exports from 100000 centals to
100000 centals per annum, or 800
per cent in ten years. and in the in
to 100000 barrels, or 500 per cent.
In other words, Puget Sound exports
Of wheat and flour have grown from
an equivalent of 100000 bushels OF
wheat to over 2O,000,O00, and the val
ue from 100000 to over $4,000
900, or 500 per cent in ten years.
Wheat and -four shipments from
Puget sound now make about $50 ship
loads a year. But the cargo-carrier
Minnesota can carry last season s
wheat and flour shipments from Puget
sound in twelve cargoes; and there
fore the twin giants, the Minnesota
and Dakota, next season will prac-
tically double the wheat and flour car
rying capacity Of the Puget sound
fleet, which will make that port sec
ond only to New York as an exporter
Of American breadstuffs.

J.. II. Brown. railroad editor Of the
ing statement:
give years ago tho Great North
ern took over the Spokane Falls 8,
Northern railway and pushed into the
Kootenai mining country in the north
and sent a branch westward into the
iRepublio mining camp in northern
washington. The result Is that Amer
lean capital has developed these min
ing regions into great dividend earn
ers for American mine owners and
added to our territory one Of the
richest mine and timber regions on
the continent.
MIR. Hill thereupon established car
shops in East Spokane on g large
scale. In compliment to him the city
names that district Hillyard in spite
Of his protest, and 1t is one Of the
most prosperous suburbs Of the city
Three years ago Mr.. Hill pushed
his right Of way through Spokane al

erty owners all they asked. Six great
steel bridges were built over the river
