accident, and The only avenue of es.
cane was safety lauder. Only one
man, Bramlctt. a ship's fircrt!aii;
thought of the ladder, and he escaped
without Il scar. Few on the upper
decks knew what had happened until
the steam camc rushing up from the
seething pit below. Tie work of res
cue was prompt, and 10 this prompt
ness those who escaped death owe
their thanks.
The first to enter the fire bole was
Lieutenant Cole. Without Eesitatiig.
and being scalded by tho water and
steam, he cnteral quickly and quick
ly dragged the men TO place where
they were taken in charge By others.
Bub and Hamilton were dead when
found. and Ritzel died few minutes
after being taken on deck.
Whether the gasket was defective
or was cavclcssly put in place, re-
mains for an official court Of inquiry
To Getermine. 1t Is said the boiler
had been thoroughly overllauled and
tested under q tremendous pressure

dent the steam pressure was only
sufficient to run the ships heating

ne of the products of the farm during
1904; made within the census scope,
it is safe to place the amount at 1900
million dollars, after excluding the
value Of farm crops fed To live stock
in order to avoid duplication of values.
This is 9.G5 per cent above the pro-
duct Of 1908, and 31.2S per cent above
that of the census of 1899.
Some comparisons are necessary to
the realization Of such unthihkable
value, aggregatihg iiearly five billions
of dollars The farmers of this couri.
try have In two years produced wealth
exceeding the output of all the gold
mines Of the entire world since Col
umbus discovered America. This
years product is over six times the
amount of tho capital stock Of all ma
tional banks; it lacks but three.
fourths of billion dollars OF the value
of the manufactures of 1900, less the
cost OF materials used; it is three
times the gross arnings from the
operations Of the railways and four
times the value OF all minerals pro.
duced iii this country. The year Of
| 1904 keeps we'll up to the average OF
exports of farm products during the
| five years 1S99-1903. amounting to
ever $50 millions, while the average
for the five years was nearly $50 mil
lions. During the last Is years the
balance of trade in favor of this coun'
try, all articles considered, exceeded
4,3Sa million dollars. but taking farm
products alone, these showed a Ell-
ance in our favor Of more than $500
millions.
Reviewing the increase in farm CAPT
tai, the secretary estimates 1t con
servatiycly at 1000 million dollars
! within four years-this without recog'
/ nizing the marked increase In the
value of land during the past two
years. The most startling figures
show as illustrating the farmers pros
perity are those presented by deposits
in banks in typical agricultural States
The Secretary selects for this Illus
tration Iowa. Kansas and Mississippi

Mississippi 3O1 per cent-in the Uni
