Yes, it does look as though there might be trouble over there. In the meantime it is hoped that developing incl dents may furnish a reasonable excuse for the powers, including the United States, to wipe the Sultan and his horde of murder CTS, thrOats and assassins from the face of the earth.

 These figures, it should re- memdered, are American, and are areived at by taking as a basis for calculation that five dollars are equivalent to one pound.
 In the board of trade annual statement the exports of the United Kingdom are placed at over E263, 000,000 The differ ence is accounted for by the fact that during the last four years the board of trade figures have addeq to the value OfOur exports the ships and boats sold to for eign countries. Taking these as exports this country still mana ges to hold the first position among the exporting nations of the world. If they are not ta- ken, as the American statistics do not take them, this preemi- nepce has passed to the United States.
 The rate of increase between 1870 and 1902 is insignificant as a tariff hint as the figures them selves. Taking the same three countries, the following are the rates between these years:
 United Kingdom-Less than 50 per cent.
 United States-Just under 275 per cent.
 Germany-Just over 100 per cent.
 These figures speak for them selves, and it is to be noted that the small increase in this coun- try's trade is almost entirely in trade with our colonies.
 Another significant tariff fact is the absence of great increase between 1880 and 1890 in the ex- port trade of the United States. This was the time when the re- form of the tariff was under con sideration, the outcome of which was the Mckinley scheme. Since that time the progress of the states has been by leaps and bounds.

Great Britain Falling Behind.

London, Sept. 5.-The rate of progress in domestic exports made by the chief countries of the world IS the subject of a com pilation by the United States bureau of statistics.
 It proves cOnclusively that commercial prosperity has de- veloped far more rapidly and in sar more satisfactory manner in the countries that have re formed their tariff than in this country, where the conditions prevailing in the middle of last century are still maintained. It is an elaboration of MT. Glad stones famous phrase, "Ameri- ca is passing us by in canter."
 The net result of the statistics is humiliating for this country. Taking the two countries that compete most seriously with Great Britain the following fig ures of exports show how the relative prosperity of the United States and Germany has out stripped that of this country. The figures are millions sterling:

BANCROFT q PITTS.

A grocery store and meat market
that is winning n great many custom
ers and an established trade IS that of
Bancroft q Pitts. 44S Main street.
Both members of the firm have the
happy faculty of treating their Gus
toners with that courtesy and fairness
that wins trade. They use in their
business up-to-d date methods and in all
that they do they make an effort to
please those who purchase their meats
and groceries at their store. They
deliver goods promptly to their Gus
toners, i'll response to orders left in
person or by telephone.
B. n. Bancroft was born in Illinois
in 1868 For eighteen years he was
engaged i'll the grocery and meat bus
mess in Colby, Kansas. He came tc
Grand Junction year and half
ago. In 1902 he went into partner
ship with Franklin Pitts. The latter
was born in New York state in 1851.
He has lived in the valley for about
four years. Mr.. Pitts is the Owner
of fine fruit ranch on Orchard Mesa
regarded ms one of the best in the en-
tire valley.
In season Bancroft & Pitts handle
large lines of fruits and vegetables.

be said that it is kept Immediately
