FISHING DAYS OVER
No More Happy Days With Rod and
Tackle Until June Is Next
Year.

six months from Today We can so
fishing again" Such was the remark
made yesterday by J. ". Simpler, the king
of Utah's fishermen. Yesterday wit
messed the closing of this years fishing
season, and six months hence, June 10, it
will open again. Until that time the
large colony of Salt Lake fishermen will
patiently count the days until the law
again gives them permission to whip the
mountain streams for the speckled beau
ties Mr.. Simpler is easily the leader OF
this colony, and il is safe to bet that ne
can at a moments notice give anyone
the exact number of days Intervening
before the fishing season rolls around
again.
This year has been a successful one Tor
fishing in Utah. The streams supplied
yearly from the fish hatchery do not
seem to decrease in the quantity OF fish.
Duck shooters are still taking advantage
of the last few days of the duck season,
which does not close this year until

feathers; manufactured goods like fans
go abroad in increasing quantities, as
do mats, rush and chip hats, hides,
hemp, grass cloth. timber, tobacco.
The list of articles now exported by
China, in addition to the old exports
of tea and silk. is a long one, and
needs to be carefully studied by the
American manufacturer who desires
to widen his own trade SO as to in
clude China among his customers.
The encouragement Of the consump-
ton of the Chinese products in the
United States is one of the best ways
of getting at the Chinese trade situa-
ton. The tea trade of China is threat
ened, indeed. it may almost be said
to be on its last legs, because of COM
petition in other countries. and yet
China can produce the finest tea in
the world and is now shipping to the
United States, as it's best customer,
grades of tea which India and Ceylon
are Intellectually attempting to initiate.
Chind's silk industry is threatened. 1t
needs modern science to supplement
the wonderful advantage China has in
the silk business naturally. At the pres
cnt time the United States is not using
Chinese silk products to the extent it
may profitably use them, especially
raw silk and waste silk for raw mater
ials The American silk men are in
vestigating the situation and will find
it profitablv to do so.
While the development of trade in
other lines shows that China no longer
depends totally upon its tea and its
silk TO pay its foreign bills. the tea
and. silk exports Of the empire are not
what they ought to be and what they
will be with proper development and
care. 1t should be impressed upon
the business men of the United States
that 1t is their business as well as that
of China to support these dropping in
dustries and to give encouragement to
efforts made to revive them. The bust
ness men of the United States have a
vital interest in the development of
Chinese export trade. The greater
the export trade of China the greater
will be its consumption of foreign
goods. China at the present time
does not measure its consumption of
foreign goods by what it wants, but
by what it can afford to buy.

WE MUST BUYoF CHINA.
Some Pertinent Points in Consul An.
derson's Report.

Washington. d. c.. Sept. 1.-Writing
from China to the Department of
Commerce and Labor. United States
Consul Anderson points out that China
will not be able to continue to buy
american goods unless she can sell her
own. 1T is easy to see" he says,
that if nation so poor as China has
been, which is still poor as regards
foreign credit AMI conditions which go
to establis n nation i'm foreign COM
mercial dealings-if such a nation can
not sell goods it cannot buy them.
Nations pay for their imports
by their exports and the gold
or silver that changes hands
across international boundary lines is
never very great factor in interna-
tional trade except where it is trans
ferred as commodity. like any other
article of production. rather than as
money. China most assuredly is no
exception to this general law of inter-
national trade. If. therefore, western
nations expect to sell goods to China
In constantly increasing amounts an
expectation both natural and reason
able in view of recent history and ap-
parent possibilities. these same nations
must have full regard for China's ex-
port trade
China's export trade is not greatly on
the Increase. On the other hand, there
are constantly expressed fears that
1t will not grow in the near future as
1t should. The most notable feature
OF the export trade of the empire at
the present time is in the rise in i'm
portance of exports other than tea
and silk The relation tea and
SIX to the export trade of the en-

reports to the department.. Generally
II may be said that while both tea and
SILK show something of an absolute in
crease over tea and silk expectations of
forty years ago. they have fallen in
