BUSINESS OUTLOOK BRIGHT
ENCOURAGING REPORTS MADE

Failures During July Less Than for
Any Month Since April 1901
Cotton Yield Small.

New York, Aug. 7.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review OF Trade says:
Business continues. to expand In
wholesome manner that promises we'll
for the future. Reports from the lead
ing branches of manufacture are unan-
imous in telling of an increasing vol
ume of orders, and the percentage of
idle machinery steadily diminishes.
Textile plants make the best returns,
closely followed by footwear factories.
and some divisions of the steel indus
try are engaged SO far ahead that ca
pacity is extended. Better prospects
for the crops remove the only handicap
that impeded the revival of trade, and
favorable weather for a few weeks will
assure unprecedented production in the
aggregate, although the yield of cotton
will fall considerably behind last
years. The month of July made most
encouraging exhibit in so far as statis-
tics are available, liabilities of failures
being smaller than in any month since
April, 1901, and railway earnings sur
passing last years by 81 per cent.
Foreign trade at this port for the last
week shows gains of $1,776lS4 in ex-
ports and 81 sos, 564 in imports, as COM
pared with the same period in 1904.
Quiet conditions in the leading iron
and steel markets do not prevent ac-
tiyity at the mills, which operate free
ly on old contracts and are preparing
for a vigorous fall campaign. Prices
of miner metals have risen still fur
Their, they selling six cents higher than
1t did year ago. Recent advances
in hides are fully maintained and in
some varieties further strength has
appeared and importers are actively
bringing supplies from Europe.
Failures this week In the United
States are 232, against 214 last week,
1913 the preceding week, and 230 the
corresponding week last year, and in
Canada 26, against 81 last week, % the
preceding week, and Is last year.

The Cotton Situation,

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-In their re-
view of the cotton situation Miller &
Co., say. "One of the effects Of the re-
cent drop in temperature will be the
release of a graf deal of pent-up cot
ton in the Mississippi Valley, where
guarantees have seriously interfered
with transportation. Guarantees
cease when frost sets in, and it is be-
lieved that a heavy movement of cot
ton will begin toward New Orleans.
Such a movement would take at least
a week or ten days before showing in
the official record of receipts and
meanwhile, there may be quite a sharp
falling off in the total, since private
reports are almost unanimous in stat
ing that farmers have sold little or
nothing since October g., and the
holdings by merchants and others
have, by this time, been shipped out"

brother, without waiting for the hear

bring his appeal before the commits

consul general in New York to take

More Attention to Beauty.

Women are giving increasing at
tention to the necessity of preserving
and perfecting their looks. Powder
and paint are out of date; massage,
electricity and muscular manipulation
have taken their place, compilations
have improved because of the rage for
fresh air, and the carriage has been
immensely benefited by physical Gull
ture.
Men are quite as eager as women
to cultivate good looks. have on my
books an ex-cabinet minister who
sought my advice concerning a little
bald spot on his head. Not only is
the modern man and woman better
looking, but there is a determination
to retain good looks as long as posi-

J. H. RAULSTONE, ADAMS MAN,
HAD ADVENTURE IN MEXICO
RECENTLY,
As a Stevedore. RauIstone
Boarded FiIibustering Ship and
Secured Evidence.

]. H. Raulstone, a we'll known citi-
zen of Adams who recently returned
from Jalisco, Mexico, figured in an ex-
citing and thrilling adventure resulting
in the capture of a filibustering outfit
a few weeks ago just before his de-
parture from Mexico for his home in
Adams. AS to Mr.. Raulston's part in
the adventure, here is the story as told
by the Pendleton Tribune:
Mr.. Raulstone has had some re-
markable experiences during his ca
reer as detective. One Of the most
striking was the discovery of a fill
clustering expedition which landed on
Mexican soil. A vessel put into a Mex
lean port near the Guatemala border
which was suspected of being a fill
buster. Raulstone was detailed on the
case and, disguised as a stevedore, he
secured job to help unload the YES
sci Of its cargo.
For several days the men worked
removing the cargo of merchandise
which was brought to disguise the
sinister freight below the decks. and
the 1ongshoremen were discharged.
Raulstone managed to creep into the
hold and while the officers of the ship
We're asleep, made a careful eXamina-
ton of the interior of the hull, finding
to all appearances the hold was entire
iron, apparently the bottom of the
hold, lay perfectly fiat below. With
the aid of an iron bar and a lantern,
the detective managed to pry up
piece of this iron, where he found I'M
derneath it a layer of rifles Digging
further down they found another layer
of thin iron under which were more
rifles. Ammunition was also concealed
in the vessels hold in large quaint
ties.
Having satisfied himself of the war
like cargo of the steamer, Raulstone
made his escape unobserved and re-
ported his find to the Mexican CONSUL
The steamer was seized the next day
and the flibustering expedition was
hwarted.''

Prince Goes Home.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21-Prince
Euwha, second son of the emperor of
Korea, has gone home to Seoul. The
prince came to this country few years
ago to be educated He gained a good
deal of nOtoriety last year, when it
was reported from an Ohio college that
he had been thrashed by a fellow stu
dent. The Korean minister made rep
reservations to the state departmnt
and the latter communicated with the
governor of Ohio. The affair was
dropped when it became apparent that
the quarrel was a mere student dis
agreement, and the young Korean
prince went to another college. He
then started to go home, and reached
Japan, but was ordered back by his
father.
Political conditions in Korea now be-
ing quiet, the emperor has given per-
mission to Prince Euwha to return.

Mans Span of Life.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-'It is a good
working hypothesis to regard the nat
ural life OF a man as 100 years." said
Sir James Crichton Browne at the last
meeting of the public health congress.
The subject of mis- address was "SeniI-
ity,' and he said among other things.
Every man is entitled to a century
OF life, and every woman to a century
ana little more, for women live longer
than men. Every child should be
brought up impressed with the obliga-
ton of living to 100, and taught to
avoid the irregularities of living which
tend to prevent the attainment of this
ambition"

TO BLACKLIST BAR1ENDERS
LIQUOR DEALERS ASSOCIATION
PASS STRONG RESOLUTIONS
ON THE SUBJECT.
Any Barkeeper Who Sells Liquor to
Minors Is to Be SummariIy
Dismissed.

An important resolution was agreed
upon in committee of the Washington
Liquor Dealers association, in session
this week at Everett. 1t provides for
blacklisting any bartender who vio-
lates the law forbidding the sale of
liquor to minros.
1t binds the members of the asso-
citation to instruct their bartenders to
refuse minors any liquors and, in the
event one is discovered violating this
rule, to Immediately report his name
to the secretary Of the state associa-
ton. The secretary is instructed to
make a report of any offending bar
tender to all members of the organi-
zation.
In regard to this matter Secretary
Gerbel in his annual report said:
There have been several instances
of late in this state where saloon men
have been knowingly selling liquors to
minors, am proud to announce to you,
however, that none of them are MEM
bers of your organization and you can
rest assured will never have the op-
portunity to become such. Selling
liquors to minors knowingly is a crime
l can not and will not think for a min
ute that a member of your organiza-
ton, which accepts only legitimate
liquor dealers in its fold, will ever be
guilty of sucn an offense Bartenders
should be most empnatically instructed
not to sell to minors, and if such in
structions are disobeyed they should
not only be discharged forthwith. but
their names reported to your secre-
tary for the purpose of blacklisting
them with every member of your or
ganization.'
A resolution was passed instructing
officers to drop from the rolls any
dealer convicted Of selling to minors.
