Special Cabls Dsspaich to The SUN.
MANILA, Oct. S.-The customs report
for the fiscal year 1908 was published to-day.
It shows that the finances OF the Philip
pines are In excellent condition. The
imports OF merchandise, exclusive Of coin,
were less by SCISSORS than those Of 1902 j,
while the exports increased s,So2, 100 over
the preceding year. The balance of trade
against the islands in 1902 was q, ,ose, ,19s,
while this year there is balance in their
favor Of &s3O,lsO.
The total foreign trade, exclusive of
United States Government importations,
In the two years was as follows: 1902,
imports. $Ss, ,42O0sO; exports, S24, ,7ss ,ss7;
1909 imports, $50 lo8 4O7; exports, S3s, 800 5s7.
This shows gain in foreign trade Of 50, ,7Oe,-
027. During 1902 the percentage Of exports
to the United States was Sls. In 1908
the percentage was N.4. The percentage
Of imports from the United States in 1902
was 10 and in 1908 1913. The percentage
of imports and exports from and to the
United States Of the grand total wes 2O.4
In 1902 and 26.9 in 1908.

silver exceeded the exports by 50. .229, ,44s,
while in 1903 the exports exceeded the inn
ports by a, ,Oe4 ,3Oe, thus showing that there
has been rapid departure Of Mexican
silver coin since the introduction of the
new currency authorized by Congress.
The total trade with the United States for
the fiscal year 1902-3 was SO, ,O65, OFT greater
than that for l0Ol-2. The exports of hemp
increased 35.s8o2e and those OF copra
$S,47l ,023.
The Philippine Commission believes that
this report shows a great advance in a
single year, especially in view of the preva-
lence Of cholera, the epidemic of rinderpest,
the famine in various sections and the ac-
tivity of the ladrones. They are of the
opinion that it indicates a tremendous ex-
pansion Of trade in the near future.

Upton IN PACKERS TRUSTS
Report in Chicago That the IsarOnet fia
Joined the Combination.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.A report current in the
Union Stock Yards this afternoon was to
the effect that the Upton Company has
joined the packers combination. The ru-
NOR Is founded on the fact that the Upton
house has not bought any hogs for four days,
which is taken as an indication that the
house is completing an inventory prepara-
tory to affiliation with the combine.
1t is thought that tho recent visit Of Sir
Thomas resulted in the new move. 1t is
believed that the heads of the combination
have been desirous Of securing the Upton
plant for long time. and have made fiat
tering offers to Sir Thomas. Should the
report prove true there will be only one
independent packing house in the yards,
that of Boyd, Lunham Il Co.

for tho Delay in Reaching BoEota.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The State De-
partment, after careful inquiry and search.
has succeeded In tracing all the official
kilograms sent by the Department to Mr.
Beaupre. the United States Minister at
Bogota, during the critical period Of the
Panama Canal treaty proceedings in the
Colombian Congress.
It was suspected by the Department
that officers OF the Colombian Government
unfavorable to the treaty had prevented
the delivery OF these dispatches to Min
lister Beaupre. The Department has now
ascertained that the missing messages
reached Panama at q time when. owing to
q dispute between the cable company and
the Colombian Government. the cable
Office at Buena Ventura. to which dispatches
intended for Bogota are sent. was closed.
Tho messages were therefore sent over
land by mail from Panama TO Bogota, a
Journey taking several weeks. Minister
BeaupIe ultimately received the desptanhes
but not until the treaty had been re-
iocted.

EX.CONGRESSMAN HERE.
Hon, E. K. Valentine and Wife

Will Likely Locate
in Roswell.

Hon. E. K. Valentine and wife of
West Point, Nebraska, who have bet n
here for several days at the Grand
Central are highly pleased with Ros-
well and will possibly locate here. He
is prominent Nebraska attorney and
is an ex-Congressman, having served
three terms in congress. He was the
first elected in 1879, soon after Ne
braska was entered into the Union
and was the only representative in
congress from Nebraska at the time.
In 1881 and 1883 he was elected from
the Third district on the Republican
ticket. He was also Sergeant at Arms
In the United States Senate from 1890
70 1894. He says that he is now out
of politics forever. Their son, Watt
Valentine, was a first Lieutenant in
the regular army tn the Philippines
for five years and he contracted bad
cold and has since been In bad health
and they are looking for q location
for him and were recommended to
come to Roswell by Judge B. S. Baker
OF Albuquerque, who is friend of
Mr.. Valentine. Judge Baker was for.
merly from Nebraska and wrote Mr..
Valentine that albuquerque was
good place, but from what he could
understand Roswell was the coming
town of New Mexico and advised him
to come here.
Mr.. Valentine has visited Salida,
Colorado and is we'll pleased with that
city, and he will visit Carlsbad before
he decides to locate. However, he
thinks he will locate and practice law
here. He has been driven around by
Hon. Jerry Simpson to see our farms
and ranches and he is delighted with
them.

1T ADVERTISES.
How the Great Southwest Induces
immigration.

How the Great Southwest Induces
immigration.
Las Vegas Optic.
The great Southwest is a good ad-
vertiser. Hardly day passes with
out a scare head news item on first
page of the big eastern dailies, tell
ing of some marvellous occurrence in
the southwest, the gist of the item
being the marvellous productiveness
of that region.
Kansas sends out, for example, a
story of the greatest yield of wheat
ever grown by any one state, nearly
91,000,000 bushels, with a modest re-
ference to the fact that the average
for three years has been 86,000,000
bushels. This is the nubbin of hard
fact contained in fairy tale about
eastern college graduates coming to
Kansas to help harvest this spectac
ular crop and failing to compete with
the bronzed maidens of the Sunf1ow
er state when the two classes were
called upon to help out. Incidentally
Kansas let's the world know that
there are a few hundred thousand
acres still left on which wheat can
be profitably grown.
Down in Oklahoma, where a new
commonwealth has been created in
twelve years from the sod, the ad-
vance agent of prosperity wires the
true tale of several carloads of
peaches shipped over the Santa Fe
from Guthrie through to London,
England. This is easily possible be-
cause of refrigerator cars and cold
storage steamers. The sugar coat
ing is provided in the shape of ro-
mantle yarn about how the peaches
were picked by Indian squaws and
cowboys sweethearts, and the dis
patch gets preferred position
The Pecos Valley of New Mexico
(really remarkable example of ag-
ricultural prosperity based on irri-
gation) now has an exhibit car tour
ing the east, contain ing a display
of fruits, vegetables and grains, as
sisted by stereopticon lecturer The
exhibit is worth seeing, and is Gre
ating much favorable comment; but
the news story of the car and con-
tents is uSua1lV haSpd on tho fact
that Hon. Jerry Simpson, formerly
known as the sockless statesman,
now lives in the valley and is
backer of the exhibit. Hence the
item goes in where everybody reads
it. Everybody also knows that 86-lb
watermelons and pears weighing
pound apiece are every day affairs
in that fruitful land.

Lad Pleads Guilty to Stealing and
Is Fined by Judge Peacock.
A lad about twelve years Of age
named Gentry was before Judge
Peacock yesterday charged with
stealing a glass minnow trap w. T.
Wells had put in a ditch. Mr.. Wells
called on the boys father and told
him OF his sons evil conduct and as
he seemed disinterested and would
not punish the boy Mr.. Wells decid-
ed he would have him arrested. The
boys father appeared in court with
him and Judge Richardson represen-
ted the defense. The boy was fined
$3.50 and the charge was disorderly
conduct. He showed repentance and
wept bitterly. and it is to be trusted
that the lesson will be of benefit to
him. It Is indeed a pathetic sight to
see q young man in court charged
with stealing, but when they are
permitted to run wild by their par
ents it is the only course that can
be taken.

The Party Will Be i'm Roswell
Monday October Nineteenth
But Only for a Short
Time.
ONE HOUR AND A HALF.
Efforts Are Being Made to Have
This Time Extended, So
That a Longer Visit
May Be Enjoyed.

Word was received this morning
that William Randolph Hearst and
party will be in Roswell next Mon
day. According to the present sched
ule of the trip they will stop here on
ly one hour and half. However,
efforts are being made today to en-
ter into communication with them
and have a change in their program
made so that at least three hours
of their time may be given to Ros-
well This extension of time would
enable the entertainment commit
tee to take the party a drive through
the beautiful farms around Roswell
and show them some of the results
of irrigation In an hour and a nall
as at present planned only short
drive could be taken.
It is a source of qualification to
the people of eastern New Mexico
that the Hearst party realizes that
this is one of the most important
parts of the Territory and it does
not intend that there shall be rep
etition of the shabby treatment
which the Beveridge party accorded
this section in the fly by night race
through eastern New Mexico.
The Hearst party is on a trip OF
investigations They wish to see all
parts of the territories and are not
closing their eyes to those things
which are not in harmony with their
pre-conceived opinions.
Every effort will be made to carry
out the trip as planned. The party
is at Albuquerque this afternoon.
The itinerary is as follows:
Train left Chicago at 10 O'Clock
the morning of the 18th.
Arrived at Ration 4:30 Monday af-
Ration.
Arrived at Las Vegas 7:30 same
evening. Two hours stop at Las We
gas.
Arrived at. Santa Fe o'clock this
morning. Left at o'clock and ar
rived in albuquerque at noon today.
Then go to Grand Canyon.
Then south to Prescott and Phoe-
nix. Then return via. Pecos, Carls-
bad and Roswell.
