covered BY the new reciprocity treaty.
The imports from Cuba for the nine
months ending March, 1903 amounted
to 1882 ZIP, while for the nine months
ending March. 1904. they amounted to
$45,446,796, an increase of about IA per
cent The increase of the exports to
Cuba during the nine months period
ending March. 1904. as compared with
the same period of the previous year.
is shown to have been about IS per
cent, but in the last three months
period it was nearly p per cent, while
the increase of the total trade between
the two countries was about Is per
cent in the nine months period. and
more than 20 per cent in the three
months period
Taking up the details Of the imports
and exports, it is found that the bulk
Of the recent increase in the imports
Of the United States from Cuba Is
sugar during the nine months ending
March, 1904, amounted to S32, 925,S73 in
value, as against $25, 7O7. 1871 during the
nine months ending March, 1903. In
terms of quantity, these two sums
represent 1.729. s9s, o7O pounds in 1904
and 1491. 44O, 20s pounds in 1908 re-
spectively. The figures show that
about 20 per cent of this increase was
secured during the three months of
January, February and March, 1904
the period Of reciprocity. Thus, the i'm
ports of sugar from Cuba in January,
1904, were "a, 7s1. 951: in February, 1904
50. 273, 97s, and in March. 1904, $s.259, 1856;
making a total for the three months
Of SIS, BIS. 2s5. or about 70 per cent of
the total for the whole nine months
ending March. 1904-$32, 925,S7S. This
large recent addition to the importa-
ton of cane sugar by the United
States has not been followed by any
material variation in the price of sugar
in this country.
The increases in the values of articles
exported from the United States to
Cuba are much more diversified than
in the case of imports. Especially i'm
portant increases have been registered
in the exports to Cuba of flour, cotton
cloth, sewing machines, locomotives,
leather, lumber and furniture.

BRIDGE men ON STRIKE
Those Employed ON Rock Island
Structure Quit.

The Kelly-Atkinson Construction
company of Chicago which has the
contract for the replacing of the iron
bridge of the Rock Island railroad over
the Kaw river at Topeka, has a small
strike on its hands, A portion of the
20 men at work on the job struck to-
day demanding ten hours pay for nine
hours work. The men have been re-
ceiving 40 cents per hour and they want
"a for nine hours work. A few days
ago the men caused the contractors
some trouble on this score, but a COM
promise was made Temporarily and the
men did not quit work However, an
agreement was not reached and the
men quit work today. The men are
members of the Structural Iron Work
ers' union Not all of the 20 men at
work on the job are identified with the
strike
The Kelly-Atlxinson Construction
company undertook to replace the old
Rock Island bridge here with the new
one in so days. Each span OF the bridge
is being taken down and replaced by
heavier material, piece by piece. The
men have been at work for three weeks
and have taken out two of the old
spans and have entirely replaced them.
They are now working on the third
span. There are five spans in the
bridge,

BOARD WAS VERY s1x.
How Railroad Assessors Favored the
Companies ia Wyandotte.

Frank Holcomb, county clerk of
Wyandotte county, has figured up the
returns made to his county by the
state board of railroad, telegraph and
telephone assessors, and he alleges
that these classes of property have
been so greatly reduced by the board
that WyandOtte county will lose sew
eral thousand dollars in taxes there
The valuation fixed by the state
board on all railroad, telephone and
telegraph properties in Wyandotte
county for 1904 is $1,935,11O- OF this
amount $4,000 represents new side
tracks built by the Rock Island rail-
road. This leaves the assessed valua-
ton on old property this year at ST.,
S95,110- The assessed valuation for
1903 on the old property was S1,984,-
545- This shows that reduction has
been made this year by the state
board of $50, 435-as compared to last
years valuation.
The assessed valuation on the Mis-
souri, Pacific property last year was
s311,410 This year it has been re-
duced to 1891, 1913, reduction of 10
per cent
The assessed valuation on the Mis-
souri, & Kansas Telephone company in
Wyandotte county has been reduced
this year by the state board from
$21.470 to $16,277.
The greatest reduction is in the case
of the Union Terminal Railroad com
pany, belt line operated in Kansas
City, Kan, and now operated by the
Kansas City South ern under a lease.
This line consists of 5.13 miles of main
line and 5.77 miles of side track. In
1902 the assessed valuation was $132,-
$50. In 1902 the state board reduced
it to $S6.710. In 1903 it was raised
to $90.630 nd this year the board re-
duces the assessed valuation to $46,-
210. This belt line runs through the
packing house district as the feeder to
the Kansas City Southern from those
districts It is used for the same pur-
pose as the Kansas City Belt line. The
Union Terminal and the Kansas City
Belt line have about the same num-
Der of miles of track through prac-
tically the same district but assessed
valuation of the Kansas City Belt line
is 1928, 561, while the state board this
year fixes the assessed valuation on
the Union Terminal at $46, 210.
The actual value of the railroad.
telegraph and telephone properties in
Kansas City, Kan, and WyandOtte
county is said to be considerably more
than 10 million dollars. This means
that the assessed valuation fixed by
the state board is about one-tenth of
the actual valuation.
The owners of real estate and per-
sonal property in that city and county
are assessed at one-third the actual
value of their property. The assessed
valuation is so much in favor of the
corporations against the small
property owners that the county off,
Gals are trying to devise a plan by
which the burden of taxes can be
more equally distributed.

RESULTS OF I,EcIpRocrrv

Commerce between the United States
and Cuba is already showing a mater
ial increase under the operations of
the new reciprocity treaty. That in
strument went into force on December
p, 1903. and therefore all the CONNER
cial transactions between the two coun-
tries since January l. 1904 reflect the
influence Of the treaty and furnish q
measure of its effectiveness. Statistics
compiled by the department of com
merce and labor, through its bureau
of statistics, and covering the
months OF january. February aud
March, 1904 compared with figures Of
previous periods, show the results of
Cuban reciprocity thus far
The increase of trade between the
United States and Cuba during the
first three months of the present cal
endar year as compared with the cor
responding three months of 1903. is an
parent both in our imports from cuba
and in our exports to Cuba. Under
reciprocity. in three months, our ex-
ports to Cuba have increased from
So .osS-the figures of a year ago-to
S6.495. 149. or nearly 25 per cent: our
imports from Cuba have Increased
from 81. 94S, 597 to s2s.217.1s0. or IS per
cent; and our total trade with Cuba.
has increased from s17.159. $50 to 500
712. S29. or more than 20 pei. cent.
Although there has been. with one
exception. an increase in the current
year. as compared with the correspond
ing periods of the preceding year.
nevertheless, in all cases, both as to
imports and as to exports, by far the
greater portion Of the increases has. oc-
Cured during the three months period
embracing January. February, and
March. 19o4-that is to say. the period

The date of the fair is September II
to II inclusive. The entries will close
on July 1. Records made in 1904 will
not bar entries in the classified stakes.
The rules will be very lenient. If
only one horse is entered that one will
be permitted to make the circuit and
get the first money. This will be done
so that no owner will lost his expense
money, because his horse had no chance
to run, due to an untitled card.
