II appears that when the victorious
JAPANESE army entered Port Arthur
ami located the storchouscs Of the city
they found in the officers quarters $500
gallons of vodka This discovery is
doubtless the basis of the charges that
the defenders Of Port Arthur surren-

necessary. Since vodka is the basis of
Russian courage. it does seem az
though the defenders might hav" held
out a few days longer with a supply

Iron being a basic commodity Is
looked upon by many as the best
barometer of general business. If this,
i, true then our industrial conditions
at the present time are resting upon Il
most substantial foundation and give
abundant promise of a continuation of
good times The production of iron in
the United States. in January. reached
l.,,6. 500 tons, the largest amount ever
produced i'm a single month in the his
tory of the country. and not only did
the production break all records, but it
fell short of meeting the demand. These
figures mean that the consumption of
iron in this country is at the greatest
rate in our history, a rate of 21.0OO,O OC
tons yearly. against $4,000. 900 tons in
1908, heretofore the record year of pro-
duction. All this means another great
year in general business. for this
enormous production of iron means
great activity in all departments of the
steel trade. and this in turn indicates
Widespread construction Of railroads
general activity in building lines
M the making Of many steel vessels.

Paul Kruger sleeps at last III The
South African soil. The oil hero is
back in the ycldt from htr sorrowfui
land of his exile. He died broken
hearted and yet cherished to the last
the hope that som" day South Africa
would he free and independent c"un-
try. the home of "A great and powerful
nation. Kruger WAS Il queer combina-
ton of ancient virtues and modern
Weaknesses. In some respects he was
an iGnorant man. and yet he possessed
II native Shrcw,incSS Which no study of
books could ever have given him. With
his old fl Shioned pictywas mixed Il
liberal amount OF rugnaCity, and no
fox was ever more keen: and no mule
WAS more stubborn than this old man.
If the lions which he hunted among
the rugged mountains in his youth
South Africa. and England too. for
that matter. will never forget Paul
Kruger or speak his name except Will
respect.
