TRADE or ORIENT
FOR SAN PEDRO
Recent Figures Show Immense
Growth of the Traffic.

According to figures which have just
Of the officials of the Salt Lake route,
| the exports from the United States to
the Orient increased 275 per cent during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1908, as
compared with 1898 The prospective
development of trancontinental traffic
bound to and from the Orient was a
potent factor in the determination to
! build this road, and the growth since
the project was undertaken has eX-
| ceeded nearly all expectations. This
business has already reached such pro-
portions that it is believed that the
Salt Lake route, with it's short line,
quick time and connection with fine
haTbor from which vessels will sail
over the line of smooth seas with great
advantage in loading, will develop
from the start Il highly profitable ORR
entail traffic.
The figures sent out by the recently
established department of commerce
and Ia Dor show that the trade with
China has grown more rapidly than
that with any other. foreign country.
Ten years ago the exports to China
We're $4,000, 457 while those to Hong
kong, which is the gateway for a large
part of the Chinese trade through Il
British port, were S4216602. For the
year ending with the 30th of last month,
the exports to Chinese ports are esti-
mated at Sl9.000,000 and those to Hong
kong at $S,000,00O. The exports during
the year just closed were greater than
in any previous year except 1902, when
practically two years business was
done because the Chinese war had just
closed, bringing a rush of business
which had been checked during hos
tilities.
During the decade the exports to
Europe, While they have filled all the
nations on that continent with alarm
over the American commercial inva-
sion" have increased only 60 per cent |
The increase with South America was
80 per. cent and with other nations of
North America so per cent. japan |
shows an even greater increase than |
China. the exports to this nation of !
Yankees of the East" having jumped |
from $3,0OO,OGO to 21,OOO,OOO
These figures are taken as highly en- |
couraglng to the Salt Lake route, as it |
is generally conceded that the awaken |
ing of China has scarcely begun, and !
that the business with the Celestials, as
we'll as with the Philippines, will go /
ahead with leaps and bounds.

Denver, July 2S.-The expenditure of
millions of dollars by the United States
government for. the reclamation of hum
dreds of thousands of acres OF arid land
in the great west is the subject of discus
sion among engineers of the government
reclamation service, now1aiu session in
Denver. The conclusions OF this confer

Interior Hitchcock by Chief Engineer L.
II: Newell, and orders for active work
will then be given. ~ =,
Engineers in charge of the proposed
works in Arizona. California, Colorado
Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico,
South Dakota, Utah, Oregon Washing

great Salt river reservoir in Arizona and
the work along the Pecos river in New
Mexico, along the Belle Fourche river in

Since the world began the Christian
is the only man whose mind has con-
,Ceived the idea of civilizing instead of
ruling the world. And his heart alone
has been big enough for the project.
The reason is to be found in the fact
that he desires not to place himself,
but Jesus. on the throne

The sheepmen of Bridger creek coun-
try. several miles from here. are up in
arms as a result of the burning of the
Flanagan Brothers sheep camp and
pens. the largest IN this section of
Montana.
The destruction is believed by sheep
men to be the work of cattlemen, with
whom they have been on the verge of
ar for the past six months.
Parties just in from the scene say
that the situation is extremely serious
and that a lynching is threatened if
the cattleman suspected of firing the
Flanagan pens falls into the hands of
the pursuing sheepmen.

A Squirrel Colony

Brandywine Manor has large colony
of gray squirrels, but no shooting is per
mitted near the village, the squirrels
being the pets Of all the residents OF
the place.
A number Of years ago the late Will
liam Rettew, who resided In the vii
lage. discovered n number Of squirrels
In the garnet of his house and cared for
them. Then he became imbued with
the idea Of protecting all the squirrels
In the vicinity. In the garnet he ar
ranged neat nests for them and fed all
that came. The number multiplied
rapidly, and they gradually established
homes in the trees In the woodland
near his home.
The worst enemy Of the gray squirrel
is the red squirrel, and Mr.. Rettew be-
gan q war of determination against the
latter, which he kept up until his death.
Then his son continued the work, and
today there are hundreds Of gray SPUR
rels i'm the woods for a mile around the
village. but few red ones. Every resi-
dent considers it his duty to kill red
squirrel wherever found.
During the summer the animals may
be seen playing about the trees in ev-
Try direction, and they are often found
in the houses OF the residents.-Phila-

Queer English Custom.

Persons aspiring to become bailih at
Alnwick, England, have to go through
a curious and somewhat unpleasant Or
deal Before the election the various
candidates ride up in a body to horse
pond and, there dismounting from their
steeds, plunge into the water and strug-
gle as best they may to the other side.
The music of brass band cheers them
during their struggles in the dirty wa
ter. This ancient custom dates from
the reign of King John, who once paio
a visit to the town in 1910 and found
no fitting welcome prepared FOR him.
The blame of this state Of unprepared-
ness was fastened on the luckless bal
lffs, who were promptly thrown into
the horse pond by royal command.
