Rinnest Year of Exports

The export record of the Unlteu
states in the twelve months ending
with October. 1904 just presented oy
the department of commerce ana lapor
through its bureau of statlstlcs' IL
esnecially noteworthy in view OF the
fact that despite the unusually small
exports of breadstuffs the total value
of exports of all kinds is larger lflali
i'm any preceding year ending with the
date above named.
The exports of breadstuffs IN the ten
Dmonths ending with October are less
than half in value those of the corre-
spending period of 1908 or 1907, and only
one third as much as IN the corIe-
sponding period of 1901 or 1899. Yet, de-
snite the fact that the value of bread
stuffs exported falls $S6,000,O0O below
the record for the corresponding period
of last year and $15S, 100000 below the
record for the corresponding period OF
1901. the total value of all merchandise
exported in the twelve months endnS
October. 1904, is $50, 100000 greater than
i'm the corresponding period OF lase
year. and exceeds by nearly SlO'0oo'ooo
the largest total ever known IN
twelve months period ending with Oc-
tober.
This remarkable fact, that despite a
loss OF from $50, 900, 900 to $15S,000,0OO in
exports of one group of articles, the
grand total of exports exceeds that of
any preceding year, is accounted for
chiefly by corresponding growth in
the expectation of manufactures as
group and raw cotton.
Among the articles grouped by the
bureau of statistics under the general
term of manufactures, iron and steel
manufactures show for the nine months
for which a record is already at hand
500, 900 900 increase over the correspond
ing period of the preceding year; cop
per an increase of $23,U00,000 and min
eral oil an increase of $10,00O,00O, while
In most other manufactured articles
the figures for 1904 show little change
as compared with those of the imme-

FIRE IN HOTEL
CAUSES PANIC
GUESTS AT ERWIN PUT TO
FLIGHT BY FLAMES
Frenzied Woman Deferred From
Jumping to Her Death Only
by Cries Of Spectators
Below

Startled from their sleep by sitting
smarting smoke and the glare of flames
the occupants of the Erwin apartment
house at S27 South Olive street sprang
from their beds early yesterday MORN
ing and rushed to the street scantily
clad i'm whatever garments they could
find in the darkness.
A good sized crowd soon gathered
and the men of the neighborhood began
emptying the lower part of the house
of furniture
A woman who had evidently stopped
to get something of value before max
ing her escape appeared at a second
story window and seemed about to
jump out. Her evident intention Of
jumping was prevented by cries from
those below and the woman disap-
peared, soon to appear again coming
out of the door below with some
clothes over one arm and q heavy purse
In the other hand.
The fire had started in the rear of
the house somewhere under the floor
and the whole back portion seemed to
be in flames. A man whose principal
article of attire was an oVercoat SEEM
ed to remember something and he made
q dash into the back porch, coming out
of the smoke few moments later
leading a pair of fine liver and white
pointers, who huddled against their
master in fright, but finally their cour-
age returned and they sat side by SIDE
on u parlor t. BILE which had been car
ried into the yard and held reception
which everyone who went to the fire,
from the fire chief to the messenger
boys attended.
The department was on the scene In
good time and had several streams OF
water playing on the blaze, but owing
to the point where the fire originated
and the start it had gotten in the dry
woodwork, a second alarm was turned
III.
Chief Strohm and his men first at
tempted to smother the fire ana save
the house from serious damage by
water. but this method failed and fire.
men mounted ladders to the roof, drag
elng lines of hose with them, and wheh
three holes had been chopped through
the shingles as many large streams
were turned directly onto the fire ana
it soon was under control. The house
was flooded before the blaze was finally
eXtinguished
The building was a handsome struc-
ture. owned by Mrs. J. Foster, and the
damage is estimated at $4,000.
The landlady of the apartment hotei
is Mrs. ]. NJ. Walker and she estimates
the loss on her furniture at $1,000.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but
il is believed the blaze was started py
the crossing of the electric wires under
the house.

SALMON NURSERY IN A CITY
Proves Successful at st John, New
Brunswick as
rcom ME- kansas clty Star.

From the Kansas City Star. .
On the shores of the Bay of Fundy.
in this city, is the most successful
salmon nursery in the world. The sit
uation of the pond is unique. 1t is
in the very heart of the seaport, or
the west side of the harbor, where the
larger part of the Canadian winter
ports shipping is done.
On all sides city streets bound the
pond, which covers four acres. and
the streets are among the busiest in
the city. None the less the splendid
game fish which it contains thrive as
do no impounded salmon on this or
any other continent. From the latter
part of May until the middle of Au-
gust salmon in the st. John river are
caught by Canadian fishermen in the
weirs. The Canadian government buys
the fish for 50 apiece and employs from
six to ten men every season to con-
vey them from the weirs to the pond.
These men have had years of expert
ence and handle the fish with the
greatest care.
The pond itself is naturally adapted
FOR the retaining of fish, as it Is con-
nected with the great tide water of the
Bay of Fundy, and fills up every
twelve hours. After the number of
salmon wanted by the department Is
secured, all but two of the staff of
employees are discharged. These, one
by day and one by night, are kept to
watch the pond.
The stripping of the salmon usually
commences about October 23 and con-
tinues to November 8. This year 1922
fish were placed in the pond. They
were so we'll cared for that the loss
was only Az per cent. OF this number
500 were female, from wich were taken
about 100000 eggs. The eggs were
sent to hatcheries in parious parts of
the provinces. After the fish were
stripped they were taken from the
pond to the mouth of the harbor,
where they were liberated.
This year 800 We're marked with
copper tags three-eighths of an inch
on the surface and one-twentieth of an
inch thick, on which is the letter @
and the figures "'04." The tag is at
tached to the fish with silver wire.
The idea is to discover whether they
live to return again. and II they spawn
every year after arriving at maturity.
as has been claimed by some experts.
Others assert that they spawn every
two years.

How They Lost Their Home

Through the gambling instinct.
They let their insurance run out.
They bought things they did not
need because they were cheap.
They did not use good judgment or
right proportion in their expenditures.
They subscribed for everything they
could pay for on the installment plan.
They did not realize how easy it is to
get into debt and how hard it is to get
out.
They tried to do what others expected
of them rather than what they could
afford.
They could not say mo" and could
mot tell their friends, Il cannot afford
it,"
They signed important papers with
out reading them or knowing their con-
tents, just because they were asked to
do so.
The mania to make an appearance
beyond their means caused them to
mortgage their property and ended in
bankruptcy.
When the shoe began to pinch, they
"really did not see where they could
retrench," Habit had made luxuries
seem necessaries.
They entertained too extensively and
a great deal more than they could af-
ford, because they wanted people to
think they were in good circumstances

nothing but bitter disappointment

are now giving voice to the prediction
that factionalis1n is to end with the

with Cunmins out. it is their belief
that factionalisnl will cease.
Whether this will be the case or not,
It is mistake 10 welcome such a re-
suit with rejoicing. Factionalism has
given to the state of Iowa during the
past four years both the ablest and
cleanest set of state officials she has
had in more than a generation. Prior
to the present administration the much
lauded united party" regime had plac-

BUILD UP IOWA.

JCedar RapldS GaZetle.1
While the standpatters of the state
are giving themselves great concern
eyer the%measures that will build up
the country, The Gazette would like to
suggest to them that there are sec
tons of the country that are doing bet
ter in the line of building UP than Iowa,
and that there is no great occasion to
worry over the prosperity of Massa :
chusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Pennsylvania and other manufacturing
states where there is a large increase
i'm population so long as there is de-
crease of population in Iowa. The fall
ing off in the strength of the congress
sional delegation from this state, fore
shadowed by the census returns. would
indicate that the other sections of the
country are content to rest their cases
I'M the hands of members of congress
elected, by themselves, and that they
have not placed so high a valuation on
the efforts of the Hawkeye statesmen
as to be led to assist in increasing the
number.
Charity begins at home. Prosperity
might very we'll begin, where charity
can make start. No other state Is
worrying over the fate of Iowa. and
while it may sound grand to tell what
is heing done to fill the dinner pals OF
the east it would be just as we'll to deal
with plans for increasing the number
of dinner pals in this particular sec
ton of the west. The standpatters are
invited to face the situation and to
pay attention to the conditions that
surround them.
