INCREASING TRADE
WITH PORTO RICO.
Statement of Trade Between the
United States and That Country
AVERAGES A MILLION A MONTH
Startling Figures Which Array Them
selves 10 Striking Contrast to the
statistics of the Past.---Porto Rican
Trade With This Country Also Thrives.

Washington.-Porto Rico is fur
wishing a market of million dol
lars north to the producers and
merchants OF the United States and
supplying nearly a million dollars
worth each month OF tropical pro-
ducts required by the United
States. The total shipments OF do.
mestic merchandise from the United
States to Porto Rico in ten months
ending with April were 80, S4f, 31S,
and of foreign merchandise $2l8,-
ZIG, making tie total value of mer
chandise sent to Porto Rico from
the United States $40, 062. 594. The
total shipments of domestic mer-
chandise from Porto Rico to the
United States in the ten months
ending with April, 1893, was
$8,744, 427, and OF foreign merchan-
disc $50, 037, making the total ship
nents from thai Island TO the
United States in tae ten months
ending with April SO, 833, 4G4. IN
the uonta Of April the shipments
f-n the Uaited States to Porto
B.1o were 1851, 52G. and FROM Povto
300 10 the Uni5ed States 81, 919, :
o25 These figures indicate that
5ae shipments from the United
States to Porto Rico during the
fiscal year which ouds with the
present month will aggregate about
&I2 600 900, and IRON Porto Rico to
tue United States nearly an equal
sum.
These figures of commerce be-
tween Porto Rico ard the United
States are in marked cortr AIT with
those OF earlier years. Ia the fiscal
year 1898, which Immediately pre-
ceded the transfer OF Porto Rico to
the United States. the exports from
the United States TO that island
were 81, 505.946. In the next year
they we're $2.685, 848; in 1900.
&4,640. 449; in 1901, 1865, 1853; in
1862. SO. 288.653, and, as already
indicated in the year 1903. will oe
al 1ut $l2, 100000. THUS tee total
5 ipments from the United States to
l'1rto Rico for 1893 will be eight
times as great as those 1893, and six
times as great as those Of 1897. On
the otter hand, shipments from
Porto Rico TO the United States
have grown from 81, Ala, 356 in 1898
to So, 378, 766 in 1902, and probably
nearly or quite ST.. 900, $50 IL 1908,

IRRIGATION ADVOCATES SIGH
At the Tremendous Waste of Water in,
the Mississippi Valley, Which, If
Properly Stored Could be Turned
Loose at the Right Time on Arid Crops.

Washington.-The advocates OF
National irrigation for the West
have been signing for the past week
In thinking OF the tremendous vol
ume of water that is going to
waste in the Mississippi valley. It is
said that not in a hundred years
could the government build storage
reservoirs ar'the head waters of the
Mississippi or the Missouri to take
care of such floods as the present
one. A feature of this food storage,
says Guy e. Mitchell, secretary OF
the National Irrigation Association,
which may not be generally under
stood, may be termed a secondary
storage. The water storage propo-
si!lcn applied to the Missouri and
Its great tributaries Involves the
question Of the irrigation CT the
vast arid domain through whic b
these rivers flow. II irrigation
storage reservoirs were constructed
On these rivers it is estimated that
as much as 35,O00,000 acres Of pres
ent desert land would De reclaimed.
The principal season Of growing
crops for this area would be April,
May, June, July, August, and the
reason that the lands are not irEi-
gated at present IS that, while there
is plenty Of water in the first three
months, during July and August,
when water is absolutely necessary
to mature the crops, these streams
are reduced to mere threads.
