S2,445.6|0,4l7 FOREIGN TRADE
Nations Commerce Shows Gain of Hundred Millions Over
 Previous Year.

Washington, July 30.-The foreign commerce of the United States ia the fiscal year just ended is larger than in any preceding year in it's history. The total of imports and exports as shown by the department of commerce, through it's bureau of statistics, is, for the year 1903. $2, 2,445,6lO,4l7, against $2,3lO,937, 156 in the year 1900, which was considered the banner year prior to 1903.
 Imports are larger than in any pre- ceding year and exports are larger than in any preceding year, save in the exceptional year of 1901. The imports for the first time crossed the billion dollar line, the total being Sl ,025, ,619, l27 and the exports for the second time crossed the l,4OO million line, being $l, 4l9, ,99l, 29O, or practically 1420 mil lions.
 The single year in which the value of exports exceeded those of 1903 is the fiscal year 1901, when the total was $l, 487, 764, ,991.
 The imports exceeded those of 1893 by about $l59, 0OO,O ,O00 and the exports exceeded those of 1893 by about s572,- 100000. The imports, therefore, have increased lS.3 per cent during the dec ade, and exports have increased 67.5 per cent during the same period.

Another Disputed Title.

A suit was filed in the federal court last week by Carl T. Abrell to obtain clear title to what is known as the Belle France bench claim, between Peluk and Martin creek. Mir. Abrell staked the claim in 1901, and, although he has been out to the States over a year the assessment work, he claims, has been done by laymen.
 F. Riegerd, the alleged jumper, made an attempt to secure power of attorney from Abrell, but failing in this, it is alleged, he jumped the claim last year. Riegerd also endeavored to keep the fact that pay had been found on the claim as quiet as possible, but a friend gave Abrell a ''quiet tip" so he returned on the last trip of the Port land to lay claim to the property.

MAY BE A
 DECLINE Klondike Gold Shipment
 $lO,OoO,OOO DvE;1o LACK OF RAIN
w. T. Wills, of Canadian Bank of Commerce, Tells of Gold
 Conditions.

The gold output of the Klondike will aggregate Sl0,000, 900 for the presen, season, according to w. T. Wills, oi the Canadian Bank of Commerce a, Dawson. MT. Wills spent q few days in Seattle, and left for the East on i'm. portant business for the bank. He has been connected with the handling oi gold in Dawson since 1898, and is pro- bably one of the men best able to speak authoritatively on that subject.
 "Unless the rain fall is very light for the remainder of the season this years gold output from Dawson will be about the same as that of last year, and will be, 1 should say, about $l0,000,000. There have been years in the past when the output was nearly double that amount, but it is not to be inferred that the Dawson district is worked out. Such is far from being true, and the re- sources of that country as whole have only begun to be touched.
 "The whole country from the Peace river north to the Arctic is rich in gold. All we need is u railroad to distribute supplies and you will see stream of gold flow out of that territory that will make the early discoveries seem very small. At present mining operations cannot be carried on far from Dawson on account of there being no way to se- cure transportation for the supplies needed. Given railroad, the terri tory will soon have twenty Dawsons.
 "Mining in and about Dawson may be said to be in the earliest stages. For the most part the mines are only in the beginning of development, while the older properties, such as those located on Bonanza and Eldorado creeks, al- though not worked out, are approach ing it. The mines of tho future will lie along Dominion creek and Stewart river. At least that would seem prob- able at present, but, as say, the whole region is rich in mineral
 "There is nothing unusual in the gold conditions in Dawson this year: every thing is very much the same as last year. Improvements are under way at present, however, that will lift the gold production higher in the future. One thing indispensable to mining in Alaska is water. We must have water, and so far this year, while we have had rain in places, it does not seem to have fallen where it has been most needed. As it is there will undoubtedly be a shortage in production, but on the whole l hardly believe that the total output will fall much, if any, below that of last year."
 Dawson is not gaining as fast this season as was to be expected according to the above interview of Mir. Wills.
 Nome pretty nearly expects to catch up to Dawson this year, as she figures on sending out at least $8,OOO, ,0O0, and next years output will probably run above slO.OOO,OOO. Not half bad for Nome.

Boats Get on the Beach.

Both the Louise and the Flyer had hard time passing the mouth of Snake river last Thursday evening. The Flyer was beached for | couple of hours getting out and the Louise was on bar over an hour, getting into the river. It is more and more apparent that the mouth of Snake river ought to be dredged and improved so that small boats ut least can get in an out without trouble and annoyance.

A fashionable woman of midd

A fashionable woman of middle
age advises every young maiden as
follows: Never marry man until
you have seen his upper lip. Man
has an advantage over us, because he
can read US through our lips. We
can not read him through his mus
tache, which, no matter how beauti
full, is an expressionless adornment
The upper lip tells the character of
both men and woman. If long and
thick there is coarseness. If thin
there is cruelty. If short and Cupid
bowed there is delicacy. If straight
and well drawn against the teeth
there is resolution. Before saying
Yes to your lover make him shave
and stay shaved for month. You
will then learn his character.

ALBERT PATRICK AND DEATH.

For a man to be legally dead and
very much alive is one Of the con-
tradictions of our legal system.
Some days ago the Advertiser
printed Geographic dispatch re-
lating to one Silas Hulin, who had
been murdered by a man named
Peak, as was charged, and for
which Peak was convicted and SEN
fenced to eighteen years in the
penitsntiary. But as Mark Twain
saic of his own case, the report Of
Hulin's death was very much exag-
gerated. He turns mp alive and
we'll, but the court which convicted
Peak refuses to do anything to-
wards securing his release, holding
that Hulin is legally dead and that
Peak was legally convicted of muir
dering him. Hulin is very much
alive, Peak is in the psnitentiary
and the law is satisfied with itself,
we presume.
Another very much mixed up
affair is that of Albert Patrick,
who was convicted, as will be re-
membered, of the murder Of the
millionaire, Rice, two or three
years ago. Patrick was convicted
and the day for his eleetrocution
was fixed SEINE eighteen months
ago, but there was stay Of execu-
ton pending an appeal. Now it
turns out that no appeal was ever
filed, and that the time for fling
it has expired, and no appeal Can
be taken. On the other hand, it is
claimed that the day fixed Patrick's
execution having passed, he is le
gally dead, and can neither be
legally executed nor legally SEN
fenced. He can eat, drink, breathe,
but the law says he is dead, and
dead he must remain. His death
may be called an easy one, but it is
somewhat :nonotonous. Doubtless
he is better satisfied with his posi-
ton in prison than he would be in
the electric chair, but we have no
reason to doubt that he is troubled
to decide just where he is at in the
game. He probably argues that if
he is dead, he should be buried,
and il 10 is alive he should be free.
Verify, our legal system brings on
some queer complications.

POLITICAL.

The great Republican victory in
Ohio was victory for Senator Hanna.
For long time he has been the
most conspicuous of the practical lead
ers of the Republican party in the
United States. When he began to
loom up into national prominence Pre-
sldent Roosevelt, whose overweening
political ambition is pushing him to
do everything possible to secure re-
election to the Office he now holds, as
the result of a most deplorable event,
applied his unlimited gall" in an
open demand upon Hanna not to come
out as a candidate against him and Sc
ing Hanna's submission relegated him
to the political boneyard.
But Hanna has suddenly doomed up
| in great prominence through his vic
tory in Ohio. and now the President
is counting him, and within few
nights they were seen hugging each
other in Washington theatre.
| Mr.. Hanna is businessman, what
ever else he may be, and if he
should become President he would
guide the ship of State with level
head and steady and careful hand.
There would be no revolutions or
commissions. On the other hand,
Mr.. Roosevelt is reckless radical
| theorist, restless revolutionist,
who is eager to put his wild schemes
into practice. The American people
distrust and fear him, and if they
must have a Republican President
they would prefer Hanna But why
a Republican? 1t all depends on
whether the Democracy is to be for
ever jackass party, or whether the
Democrats will have sense enough to
get together and organize victory
