Identifying Cities.

Desire for municipal beauty makes strong
growth in the west. Current newspapers
tell of San Franciscos ambitious plans. In
voiving years Of work and millions of dol
lars. to enhance the natural beauty of that
water-girt city of commanding hills.
Portland and Tacoma newspapers earn
estly enjoin the citizens to preserve the
roses. those cities being distinguished for
the abundance OF that flower. Tacoma has
just celebrated rose carnival and such
good advice as "beautify your Garden. ;,
help to make the city a bower" and
grow roses" has been given away with
each issue of the papers.
In Spokane there is a call for the preser-
walton of the native pines. The Spokane
Spokesman-Review says:
Many buyers of residence lots in the
hill sections OF the city are greatly in
1uring their properties from both an
esthetic and a monetary standpoint by cut
ting down the native trees on their land
After their houses are completed and oc-
cupied the owners generally regret their
folly when 1t Is too late to repair the
damage done to their surroundings. One of
the characteristic and most attractive fea-
lures of northwestern towns is their wealth
of pine trees, distinguishing them from the
cities OF every other section OF the country.
Eastern visitors of taste almost invariably
remark the pines of Spokane lawns as
forming a high decorative natural back
ground for residences, many even placing
them above the elms of the New England
towns or the ma pies of the middle states.
These are shade trees, of course. and often
of stately beauty. but they lack the pic
tu-esqueness of the pines, as they lack its
clean, spicy fragrance. Such an ornament
to the city and its homes is worth preserv-
ing and will be preserved by thoughtful
persons who value beauty in their sur
roundings.

Importance of the Wife.

Though 1t is held otherwise by some per-
sons. there is evidence to support the con-
tention that the wife is really an important
member of the family. 1t would be useless
to try to prove this IL every wife had a
son just home from college or a daughter
just poisoning into beauteous womanhOod.
There Is no doubt that these members of
the family are its only factors OF conse-
quence. The wife Is so far In the back
ground, or the back room. that she is out
Of sight. She knows her station and she
keeps her place.
OF course. If there Is a son Just home from
college a daughter just blossoming into
beauteous womanhood, the husband Is of
no more Importance In the family than the
wife. He is just staying around the house.
But there are occasions when the wife
comes to the front and proves that her
ability is not limited to getting breakfast,
putting buttons in the clean shirt. keeping
check on the washwoman and practicing
sundry other accomplishments. She some
times shows that she Is just as good as her
husband thought her before the marriage
chimes rang out or the organist played a
wedding march Speaking of the import
ance of the wife in the family read this:
Trinidad, Col-Mrs. Nal Russell. wife of
a ranchman, living in the Stone Wall noun
tain section. west of Trinidad. saved her
husband from being killed by grizzly bear
yesterday afternoon. Russell had lost con-
siderable stock lately. and few days ago
discovered fresh bear tracks. Yesterday he
and his wife and a friend. Mrs. Wilson,
started on the hunt. They suddenly came
upon a male and female silver tip and fired
upon them. The bears were ugly. but the
male. monster of Its species. was killed.
Russell was between the animals and the
women. The death of the male bear
seemed to infuriate its mate. which started
toward Russell. who. seeking better spot
from which to shoot. stumbled and fell
over a los. and the bear started toward
him with rush. Mrs. Russell, steadying
herself against tree. sent four rife bull
let's In quick succession through the bears
body. The animal fell dead a few feet from
her husband.

1t may be said that this work the De-

Foreign Trade

Major John NJ. Carson of the bureau OF
manufactures, Department of Commerce
and Labor. has given to the press an in
teresting statement OF the object of the de-
partment In sending special agents abroad
to study the foreign markets. and especial
~ those where American manufacturers
hope TO increase or establish trade After
bespeaking the cooperation OF the manu-
facturers in work in which they are so
much concerned. Major Carson says:
ITO large degree the foreign markets
constitute an unknown field TO manufac-
turers of the United States. Until quite
recently our own markets consumed almost
the entire domestic output. In many of
the leading industrial branches we are
meeting the requirements of the home
market and have a surplus. which Is con-
stantly Increasing In bulk. owing to i'm
provements in machinery. methods and the
push and enterprise of our manufacturers
Now, as a rule, this surplus is the overflow
or products made for the home market and
regardless Of superiority in quality and re-
fnement in pattern. II is not acceptable for
many reasons to the people in foreign coun-
tries whose patronage We seek. We can
not hope to sell textiles for example made
to meet the peculiar wants and the refined
taste of our own people TO a people living
vastly different from those existing here
and whose taste regarding patterns and
C0lors we look upon as barbaric

manufacturers regarding conditions In
