FAKE ADVERTISING.

Some time ago one of the numerous
fake advertising men that travel over
the country, struck Occur d'Alene,
and took out about SIS for his day g
work after paying this office IS. 80 for
doing his printing. He had long
card which he claimed was to be put
in all hotel register cases He ord
cred one printed and with this collect
ed from his patrons. The case is sim
ply one illustrating the utter worth
lessness of almost every fake advertis-
ing scheme that is worked by strang-
ers. You never get value for your
money and usually get nothing in re-
turn. If you have money to spend
for advertising, patronize the home
printers and if they do not do as they
agree you have remedy. Money
spent with the travelling fake adver-
tiser Ia money thrown away. OF
course this office was So. 80 to the
good from the fakir, but number Of
our patrons we're his victims and we
believe they should know what it
means when the oily tongued gentle
man comes along with get rich
quick advertising scheme. Advertis-
ing is like other methods of securing
business-it is made successful by
keeping everlastingly at it in legiti-
mate way. The newspaper, theatre
program or other publication in which
the public is interested will prove of
value. Posters. dodgers, printed
price list or descriptive circulars are
all legitimate and successful methods,
but the fakir ne,ter has u good propo-
sition except foF himself. ~ Occur

Emergency Medicines

1t is a great convenience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in cas-
es of accident and for slight injuries
and ailments. A good liniment and
one that is fast becoming favorite
if not household necessity is Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. By applying it
promptly to cut, bruise or burn it
allays the pain and causes the injury
to heal in about one-third the time
usually required, and as it is an
antiseptic it prevents any danger of
blood poisoning. When Pain Balm
is kept at hand sprain may be treat
ed before Inflammation sets in, which
insures quick recovery. For sale
by all druggists.

American Trade In Manchuria.

Washington. May ga report OF
American trade in Manchuria has Just
oeen received at the State Department
rom United States Consul Henry E.
Miller at New Chwang, China.
Mr. Miller says that the entire trad,
Oh Manchuria during the year of 1899
went through the port of New Chwang
whereas this year there are seven diff
ierent avenues of trade, each doing
considerable business. The consul says
there are no Official records from
which to give even an estimate OF the
quantity of goods coming in and going
out through the various channels and
excepting New chwang.
Inc foreign imports in 1908 for New
Snwang amounted TO $13.3l4,012
against $15.641.442 in 1899. the largest
import in the history of that port.
Manchuria, the consul says, is ex-
tremely rich in minerals, including
coal. iron. copper. silver. gold and
other kinds. but these have been
worked only in small and crude way
by the natives. Should this mineral
wealth be developed and worked by
modern methods in a manner fitting
Its economic possibilities. Manchuria
he predicts. will prove to be one OF the
ilchest sections OF Asia.
Mr.. Miller says It is a mistake to at
tFibut to the growth of Manchurian
trade to the building of the Russian
railway. as the bulk of the produce is
hauled in carts. which compete with
the railroad in haul of 400 miles or
more.
1t is erroneous TO think that United
States has monopoly OF the Manchur-
n n rra /, T. -
competitor" says the consul, "as there
are four active sources of competition,
each striving for a stronger hold on
the trade. and the contest is so close
that the variation in the value between
gold and silver have determining in
tiuence thereon"
The products of the hand looms of
China, known as nankeens. made from
the yarns produced in the various cot
ton mills of China from both native
and foreign cotton, is the strongest
competitor.
Mr.. Miller says that the growth in
the trade of the United States cotton
goods in Manchuria represents the
greatest expansion of United States
trade in the Orient. and the year 1903
was the largest in its history. There
is reason to believe that considerable
trade came into the country through
Dalny and Port Arthur. The schedule
of imports forwarded by Mr.. Miller
shows that the United States has al
most the entire foreign trade in cot
ton cloth passing through New
Chwang
Mr.. Miller closes his report by say
ing that the development of the -four
milling business in Manchuria and the
sale Of the cheaper Shanghai flour
have practically closed the market for
United States -four at all points ex-
cept Port Arthur

Opium Smuggling

Chief Wilkie, of the secret service
recently gave out the following state.
ment: Secret service agents detailed
at the request of Assistant Secretary
Armstrong have been investigating the
suspected smuggling of opium between
Seattle and Portland. After three
months work under the direction of
Operative Frank Burke, who was spe.
cially detailed for this service from
the New York division, the investiga-
tion closed at midnight Sunday last
with the seizure of $4,000 worth OF
crude opium and the arrest of S. r.
Stevens, alias Tuttle. w. S. Cree and
Alfred Larsen, all of Seattle. Stevens
who is said TO be wealthy, is charged
with being the principal in the enter
prise. which has been conducted sue
cessfully. 1t is said. for several years
His methods, ii is stated. were UNIQUE.

said. smuggled ii aboard a fast launch
owned by him and it was landed dur-
ing the night. at a point near Seattle.
IL had two skeleton pianos and two
large safes into which the opium was
packed The pianos were boxed, the
safes were covered with burlaps shin
ped to four fictitious persons at Port
land. where the distributors got pos

amos were reshipped to Seattle to be
similarly used again.

Our Agricultural Exports.

The Department of Agriculture has
issued report on the Nations Farm
Supplies" prepared by George X.
Holmes, chief of the division OF for
eign markets.
1t gives $500 .000. 900 as conserva-
tive estimate of the value of the farm
products'of the country not fed to live
stock in 1903, on the basis of the CEN
sus valuation. The value of the ex-
ported farm products OF this country
was, in 1903. ss7S.479. .45i. and the high
est value reached during the last elev-
en- years was 1851, ,G2S.33i in 1901. due
chiefly TO cotton.
The value of the exported farm prod
ucts OF this country is concentrated
mostly in few principal products. OF
ii in 1903 cotton constituted thirty-six
per cent. grain and grain products
twenty-five per cent. meat and meat
supplies and live animals twenty-four
per cent. these products equallins
over eighty-five per cent. of the ex-
ports of farm products last year.
Adding tobacco. whose exports
were valued at over s35 100000, oil
cake and oil cake meal. $l9.s39.2 .279:
fruits and nuts over sls.000.000. and
vegetable oils over $4,000. 900. gives a
total of eight classes of products.
each with an export value OF over
s10.000.000. that comprises almost
ninety-six per cent. of the entire farm
exports of 1903.
Within recent years. ending with
1903. the cotton exports nave been be-
tween three and four billion pounds
and the exported fraction of the crop
has been between sixty-:hree and sew
f,xr Iona ri Of
years. The fraction of the wheat crop
exported in the last dozen years has
been about thir.y-one to forty-one per
cent. and the exported wheat and
wheat -four have yearly averaged
somewhat more than 200. 600. 900 BUSH
els since 1897. before which period
for many years the quantity was usu-
ally 50.000.000 to 100000 600 bushels
less.
Only a small portion of the corn
crop is exported as corn, the highest
percentage. eleven per cent. being
for 1898. Notwithstanding the small
percentage, the exported bushels reach
100, 900, 900 to 200. 1000 0O0.
The beef exports weighed 3S5.O00,-
900 pounds. pork exports 55l 100000.
| lard exports weighed 490,00O,0OO. oleo
oil exports 126,000,000 pounds and
tobacco 36S. 100000
Butter and cheese exports have de-
| decidedly declined within two or three
| years.
/ The report says that within few
years the results of an enormous ex-
| tension of orchard planting will begin
| to be shown, and some Of these results
may be in a much increased fruit sur
plus for export. The exports OF ami
NAL matter are losing ground relative
ly with a corresponding gain by vege'
| table matter.
Taking up the destinations OF the
surplus the report says the United
Kingdom takes ABOUT one-hali. Ger.
MANY about one-sixth and France, the
| Netherlands, Belgium, Canada ana
Italy from three to five per cent. eacn
China in recent years takes mil
lion dollars worth annually and tney
go to Russia. China, Korea. Greenland
and Iceland and other remote portions
of the earth. From eighty-five to nine
ty per cent. of the total goes 70
Europe, six to seven per cent. to NORTH
America and less than two per cent
