CANADIAN BEEF "RINGs."
A Cooperative Arrangement That
Has Become Quite Popular.

United States Consul William Small has
sent to the Department Of Commerce ana
Labor a clipping from a Canadian news
paper which gives informa ton in regard to
the beef rings which are in successful OPP
Grafton in many Of the farming commun-
tiles Of Canada. AS is stated therein, the
great and increasing popularity Of these
beef rings is due to the fact that the farmer
members thereof are enabled to obtain for
their families fresh meat during the sum-
mer months at practically cost price. The
article says:
These rings are not. as the name might
Indicate, trusts for the control Of the pro-
duction and sale Of beef. but are groups
of farmers who cooperate to supply their
tables with fresh meat during the summer
The ring Is usually composed OF sixteen
twenty or twenty-four members. although
sometimes as many forty are enrolled
Each member agrees to supply one beer
animal during the summer. and In order 10
give plenty of time for preparation the
members draw lots the previous winter 10

mutually advantageous. Two small ram
lilies may combine for one share
wherever 1t has been tried this system
has given excellent results. as Is shown by
the fact that 1t Is difficult to gain admfs-
sion to the rings, as there is no inclination
tiers are particularly well pleased, as the
abundance Of fresh meat at their COM
mand sinaplifies the question of providing
suitable meals. Then the farmers get tEslr
beef at the actual cost, paying no more for
the best cuts than they would for the

thing into consideration. that the salary
list Is too small. particularly so far as it
concerns American officials Of great respon-
sibilities. In his final report Judge Taft
said.
I'VE find it wiser to pay good salaries,
salaries in excess of those paid for the same
services in the United States, to all who
occupy responsible positions. The cost of
living in Manila is so high that salary Of
s. 600 here hardly goes as far as a salary Of
S.. 900 in any OF the smaller cities of the
United States. I am convinced that We
made a mistake IN fixing the salaries for
the supreme judges at $1,000 and for that Of
the chief justice at $500. The court Is Of
so much dignity. and of so much import
ance, that we might very well have fixed
the salaries of the judges at $4,000 year
and that Of the chief justice at $4,000. We
are likely to lose by resignation three OF
the Americans who have constituted the
court Of seven, at the end of their service
of three years, and that largely because the
salary offers no inducement to hold the
place. This Is a deplorable condition. be-
cause the value of the supreme court de-
ponds largely on the experience of its MEM
bers and II we are not to obtain the benef1t
of the learning and experience acquired on
tho bench in the Spanish civil law by our
American Judge we lose much"

very large part of the population Of the
Philippines live in cities and towns. There
are 2O3 towns with more than 10000 popula-
ton, thirty-two0 towns with more than
10000 population and eleven towns with
more than 10000 population.
There are 1913 towns named after saints
San Jose is the favorite. having eleven
towns: San Juan. eight; st. Mary, seven;
st. Fernando, six: st. Michael, five: St.
Isidro, four. and oozen or more saints
have three towns chrfstened in their honor.
The government treats natives and
Americans impartially in all matters, even
in appointments to Office and in salaries
paid, although private employers will not
pay a native more than one-third as much
as a foreigner would receive for exactly the
same service. This discrimination is based
upon the difference in cost of living The
food, clothing, lodgings and other neces-
saries of life to which Americans and Euro
peans are accustomed cost three times as
much as the Fflipines are accustomed to
pay, because they have been brought up to
live like the Chinese and the Japanese Ma
tive hotels and boarding houses never
charge more than 10 OF 20 cents day for
board and lodging.

com mission have provided good salaries for

At coastwise ports there have been issued

ID 600 tons These vessels are engaged in
local traffic, not being licensed to trade at a
greater distance than 100 miles from the
place of the issuance of the license.
The law as passed is believed to be salts
factory as 1t is understood here. 1t provides
that no merchandise except supplies for the
army and navy shall be transported by sea-
under penalty of forfeiture, between ports
of the United States and the Philippine
archipelago directly via a foreign port,
or for any part of the voyage. in any ex-
cept vessels of the United States 1t does
not prohibit, however, the sailing of any
foreign vessel between the United States
and the Philippines. The same restriction
as to merchandise is imposed on passengers
but does not apply to the transportation
OF merchandise and passengers between
ports or places in the Philippines. nor does
il apply to voyages begun before July l,
1896 The tonnage taxes now in force on
foreign vessels coming into the United

from the Philippines. The Philippine COM

Would Have Stimulated Trade.

Therefore the feeling in commercial cir
cles here is much easier than 1t has been
for n long time and you may look for
considerable revival of trade. If Con-
gross had gone a little further and had
abolished all customs upon trade between
the United States and the Philippines 1t
would have stimulated every industry
and induced the investment OF large
amount of capital here.
The greatest obstacles to the develop
uent OF the material resources of the
philippines are, first, the lack of compe-
tent labor; second. the apprehension Of
political disturbances, and. third, the tar
in on American goods. particularly on ma
chinery. implements and other articles
which are absolutely necessary for agri-
cultural, mechanical, mining and timber
industries. When these duties are re-
moved. when people can bring in saw
mills to cut the timber, and engines to
furnish power for factories, and wind
lasses to hoist ore out of mines without
paying 20 per cent bounty to the govern
ment the development of tha natural
wealth of these islands may be expected
to begin.
AS ii is now, any man who undertakes
to develop a mine is required to pay to
the government $4,000 upon every $50
900 worth of machinery he brings into the
islands. If he puts up $500 sawmill
he must pay $1,000 to the government
and If he brings in a $4,000 engine he
rays $1,000, and as long as 1t continues
we cannot expect a very great degree Of
prosperity in the Philippine Islands.

FATAL SEWER EXPLOSION.
Four Persons Are Killed in Intercept
ing Tunnel at Chicago-Pump-
ing Plant Is Wrecked.

Chicago, June 13-Assistant City En-
gineer Guy Miltimore and three laborera
were killed in an explosion which oc-
Cured at ten o'clock Saturday morning
in the Thirty-ninth street intercepting
sewer at Halsted street, directly beneath
the city viaduct.
The dead are: Guy Miltimore, civil
engineer, employed by the city, S14
Wilson avenue; John Wrenn, former
policeman, SO Thirty-seventh street:
Matthew Hitler, 1913 Union avenue;
George Cunningham, 90 West Randolph
street.
Louis OBrien, in charge of the pump
ing plant, was blown 20 feet into the
canal. He was rescued from the water
and taken to his home, Thirty-fourth
and Halsted streets. He may die.
A gasoline torch carried into the ex-
cavation by the workmen is believed to
have ignited an accumulation of sewer
gas, causing the disaster.
The force of the explosion was ter
rifle. 1t wrecked the temporary pump
ing plant adjacent, erected by the city;
it threw bricks and boards and other
missiles over radius of a hundred feet,
and tossed the heavy manhOle covers,
weighing $50 to 200 pounds, high in the

TELL OF TRADE SITUATION
REVIEW OF GENERAL CoNDI-
TIoNS FOR THE WEEK.
Little Change Is Disclosed, But Con-
fidence in the Future
Is Growing.

New York, June 13.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says:
Current trade conditions are without
change and collections continue slow
as rule, but there is growing conf
dence in the future, dealers exhibiting
an inclination to prepare for fall and
winter ON larger scale. There is still
much complaint that the weather is I'M
seasonable for retail distribution, and
payments are not prompt. Reports re-
garding the building trades are almost
uniformly favorable, structural work
increasing as the season advances, and
transporting prospects are brighter on
the lakes. Railway earnings, now prac-
tically complete for April, show loss
of only 2.9 per cent. compared with
last year. and surpass the correspond
ing month of any preceding year. The
decline in the cost of living has con.
tinued without interruption since
March l. List prices for iron and steel
products are maintained in most cases,
NANNY because Of agreements rather
than the support of consumption. De-
mand is extremely limited.
Commercial failures this week in
the, United States are 227 against 220
last week, 226 the preceding week and
215 the corresponding week last year.
Failures in Canada number 20 against
20 last week, II the preceding week
and IA last year"
Bradstreet's says: TRADE and in
dustry are quiet as a whole and inter
est centers largely on the progress Of
the crops. This latter situation is not
clearly defined as yet, and spotted con.
ditions are in evidence, but with the
general trend in the direction of i'm
provement. The lake strike, though
apparently weakening. is still detri-
mental to many lines of business along
the northern border. In portions OF
Colorado disorders growing out OF
unionistic troubles have affected bust
ness but the situation is apparently
on the mend With lower prices there
has come an expansion of export trade
in number of manufactured lines,
notably iron and steel, leather and
lumber, but foreign demand for our
cereals shows no improvement"
