EXPORT MOVEMENT

Washington. Nov. LIN the move
ment Of the surplus of the crops of
the United States TO ports for export
there are features of much concern
10 the competitive ports, to the rai'
roads that extend to them from the
commercial crop areas, to steamship
companies. and to the producers and
handlers OF the surplus. A comper-
hensive examination of the various
problems involved Is contained in bull
letin No. IS. entitled Crop Export
Movement and Port Facilities" pre-
pared by Frank Andrews, ~transporta.

the division OF foreign markets of the
bureau of statistics of the department

The share of cotton. wheat. flour,
and corn exported from the Atlantic
ports decreased during the twenty
one fiscal years ending with 1904.
while the percentages exported from
the ports Of the Gulf coast increased.

10 be used as a Scottish Rite cathedrak
Within the next few months, the
second story will be converted into
suitable lodge rooms for the bodies OF
the York Rite Of Free Masonry and
into a Scottish Rite hall there being
plenty OF room for all u opposes for the
present. The Masonic bodies here
have taken the necessary steps To
raise the required part OF the purI

The building Is a verysubstantial
one and the second story. with certain
adaptations and changes, will make
the finest lodge hall and rooms In the
territory. The entire building will be
a Masonic temple. OF which New
Mexico Masons may be justly proud.
Plans for the modification Of the
second story and for suitable lodge
hall there will be procured as 500
as practicable. and work thereon win
commence In a few months .
Although Masonic lodges have been
the existence In this city since the
time of the American occupation In
1916. the Masons have not had a
building Of their own since 1857. They
then owned a building and grounds
for a few years and up to 1857 on lots
located near the present Loretto
academy. This building. which was
a two-story adobe structure, was
swept away by the floods Of that year
In the Santa Fee river and the lots
sold. They have paid IN rent since
that time thousands Of dollars. which
money would have trebled sufficient
to have constructed one Of the larg-

tory for their use.
