The doors through which the exports of
the United States flow to the outside world
are opening more widely year by year. and
this seems to he especially true of the
ports located on the Gulf of Mexico, the
northern lake border and the Pacific coast
Formerly the Atlantic coast ports held n
very large proportion of the export as well
as import trade, but in recent years the
export trade is being distributed to the
ports at the north and the SOUTH as we'll
as the west though In importations the
Atlantic ports still retain about so per
cent of the total import trade. The figures
of the fiscal year just ended. compared
with those of tire fiscal year. 1901, pre-
sented by the department of commerce and
labor. through its bureau of statistics,

Visit Catalina Island.

From San Pedro the party took a
little steamer to the Cataline islands
and while there unexpectedly met Mr..
and Mrs. w. l.. Sargent of Ottumwa.
AT this place Mr.. Kitterman took
glass bottomed boat and he enjoyed
sight of the wonderful underwater
botanical garden which is natural
growth of the sea at this point. He
states that these plants and flowers
growing beneath the water are of the
most indescribable beauty. At Los
Angeles he met E. S. Kemp and
spent one night with him upon large
ranch of which he is the proprietor
a few miles away from Los Angeles.
Soil is Rich.
The soil in the valleys near Los
Angeles is of the most wonderful fer
tility. Corn grows extremely large
and averages sixty-five bushels to the
acre. Mr.. Kitterman spent the time
there visiting relatives and enjoying
himself in the great orange groves.
Mr. kitterman was impressed with
the way they tend the roads in this
section of the state. They are kept
perfectly clean and hard and free from
dust by sprinkling them with crude
coal oil each spring at a cost of about
$40 per mile
Mr.. kitterman returned by the
Santa Fe route and made no special
stops on the way. He reached home
last Thursday morning, having been
absent about one month.

HEIR TO MUCH LAND.
A Cedar Falls Girl to Get Share of a
Large Estate.

Cedar Falls, Sept 15.-(SpeciaD =
Miss Daisy Dinwiddie, daughter of the
late Major w. A. Dinwiddie, instructor
in military tactics at the State Normal
School, has received word from at
torneys in Virginia that she is one of
the direct heirs of an imm ense estate
of timber land granted to the governor
of Virginia generations ago. The es-
tate is known as the D1nwiddie estate
and comprises several thousand acres
of valuable timber land. Much of the
land in this section of the country is
covered with large walnut timber,
which is now valuable in the market
Twenty-Five Years in Court.
The estate has been hanging unset
tied in the courts for the last quarter
of century Miss Dinwiddie repre-
sents the fourth generation of the fam.
lily and there is no question whatever
about her being entitled to share
in the property. The land is located
near Purceville, Va, and is known as
Dinwiddie courthouse.
Major Knew of Land.
Major Dinwiddie during his life was
aware of the existence of the estate
and knew he was direct heir. He told
his wife that his daughter would per
haps sometime realize from her inter
est in it. The attorneys who have
the case have written that an order has
been received from the court to sell
the property next June, when the pro
ceeds will be divided among the heirs
The old law provided that only the
male heirs were considered in the di
vision of landed estate of this kind
but that law was long ago changed and
Miss Dinwiddie will share equally with
her brother, who is governor of one Of
the provinces in the Philippines.
