PLAYING Havoc with Birds.

The snow-covered ground and intensely
cold weather are playing havoc with birds
and game in Virginia and Maryland Re-
ports coming from the river counties of
those states say that squirrels and rabbits
have been seen In barn yards hunting food
and that coveys of cartridges are to be
found living with domestic fowls From
New Kent county, Va, comes a report that
wild deer from the mountains have been
seen herding with cattle in pastures where
there were hayricks. To save the birds
many farmers are daily scattering grain
about the fields and highways

PENALTIES IMPOSED.
Contractors Fail to Complete School
Building on Time.

Because contractors for two new local
school buildings have not finished their
work on schedule time, the Commissioners
have ordered penalties and cost of inspec-
ton to be imposed In each case. One Of the
contractors, l. Pavarini, who is building the
new Business High School, asked an ex-
tension of forty-two days time from Octo-
Der IL, when the work was to have been
finished.
Reporting on the matter Snowden Ash
ford. inspector of buildings, stated that the
contractor was dilatory, and called atten-
ton to several features in the work that
might have been pressed forward by en-
ploying larger number of mechanics.
The recommendation of Engineer Com
missioner Biddle, which has been approved
by Commissioner mcfarland, is that Mr..
Pavarini be granted an extension of time to
November /, but that the cost of inspection
and penalty of $40 per diem be charged
against him.
Work on the John w. Ross School should
have been finished by October ID, but Glee-
son & Humphrey. the contractors, asked an
extension to November Is. Commissioners
.Biddle and mcfarland have approved the
recommendation of Building Inspector Ash
ford that the firm be charged with costs
OF inspection until November /, and that
both penalties and cost OF inspection be de-
Quoted from money due them after that
date until completion

Diversified Export Trade.

The export trade Of Canada is much more
diversified than people generally suppose.
Every year she sends something to nearly
every nation, as well as to almost all of
the British possessions. Next to the Brit
ish empire and the United States her best
customer is France. and after that comes
Germany, Argentine Republic. Cuba. Bel
GUM, Holland and other of the European
and South American countries.
While the general increase In the imports
of Canada from the United States during
the successive years has been remarkable,
there is noticeable decline in the imports
of implements and machinery for the use
of the farmers There was falling-oT IN
nearly every item. This is due in large
measure to the establishment of branch
factories on this side of the border by sew
eral of our manufacturers, but also fndi-
Gates that the Canadian implement manu-
facturers are gradually getting share of
the trade The following table shows a
comparison Of several items in 1904 and
1G01.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-10-19


The exports from Canada during the fis-
cal year ending June 80. 1905. were valued
at $203 316, S72, decrease of 81, sos, 593 from
the previous year. This total is the small
est since 1901, when the exports We're $780,
4S7, 1872. But there has been a continuous
and healthy growth for the last thirty
years. In 1875 the exports were only ST.
1856, 9T5; in 1885 they were $50 Z3S, 361 In
1895 they were S121 ola, s52. This is the first
year that there has been falling off for
long time. and the cause is short wheat
crop in 1904.
Great Britain is of course the most profit
able customer Canada has and takes fifty
five per cent of her exports; while sixty
per cent goes to the British empire. There
wars decrease of fifteen and q half mil
lions last year in the exports to Great Brit
ain and her colonies for the reason l have
given.
The United States is the second best Gus
toner of Canada, although we do not buy
as much from her as Great Britain The
last fiscal year Q00o) shows a considerable
increase. The following table shows an in
teresting comparison between the exports
from Canada to Great Britain and to the
limited States.

At the same time the Canadian implement

American Manufactures Imported.

The amount of duties collected on i'm
ports from the United States and Great
Britain during the last fiscal year (1a04 -o5)
cannot be obtained at present, but during
the last fiscal year 1903-4 the collections on
imports from Great Britain were $40, $685.
OF. while those on merchandise from the
United States were S19554. $50. out of a to-
tai of S40,954349. 1t will thus be seen that
nearly one-half of the revenues collected
from customs by the Canadian government
were paid on merchandise imported from
the United States. During some years the
collections on American goods have been
even larger in proportion and have reach
ed So per cent of the whole.
1t Is a significant fact which must be
taken into consideration in this connection
that nearly all of the imports into Canada
from the United States have been manu-
featured articles, while the exports from
Canada to the United States have been
largely minerals and raw material. Last
year Canada exported over $35oO0,00
worth of gold and other precious metals
to the United States, which was nearly
one-half of the total exports; while the
same proportion has kept up for the last
ten or twelve years. To this should be
added more than S5,000,OO0 worth of cattle,
which have been driven over the border;
So, 100000 worth Of logs and S4000000.0 900
worth of fish, making a total of $47000,000
out of $T5,600.0o0 raw products. The agri-
cultural products will average about four
millions, while the manufactured mer-
chandise has seldom been more than
500 600 900.

AN 0PPORTUN|TYLO LOST
Reciprocity With Canada No
Longer Possible.
FACTORIES OF HER OWN
INDUSTRIES OF THE DOMINION
RAPIDLY DEVELOPED.
Despite Discrimination Trade With the
United States Has Grown More Than
That With Any Other Country.
BY WILLIAM E. CURTIS.
Special Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago
Record Herald.

Record Herald.
MONTREAL, Canada, October IL, 1905.
The Congress of the United States has
made great mistake in resisting
the reciprocity policy of the admins
tratitn toward Canada; for 1t thereby
might have secured control of the
markets Of the Dominion for American
agricultural implements and machinery
iron and steel of all sorts, electrical and
steam machinery, textiles, boots and shoes
and other wearing apparel, and long
list of other manufactured goods, in ex-
change for the wheat and a few other ag-
ricultural products Of the Dominion. No
reciprocity treaty is possible now. however
That water has passed over the dam. The
opportunity Is lost, and although we still
command the Canadian markets, because
of our geographical advantages and the
habit our manufacturers have acquired of
dumping their surplus products on the
other side of the border, the development
of mechanical industries has been quite
rapid over there. Last year the value of
the output of Canadian factories exceeded
SG5o, 100000 and they employed more than
$4,000 men. The increase in the output
for the year was very large, larger than
ever before, and 1t will continue to grow
under the encouragement of the govern
ment which has wisely eliminated the tariff
from politics and made 1t a national policy
instead of a party issue. While 1t cannot
be said that the people of Canada agree,
any more than those of the United States,
upon the rates of duty that should be
charged upon certain articles; and while
the tariff is local issue here as much as
it is there, almost everybody appears to be
a protectionfst and the opposition to reel
procity with the United States is becoming
active and general. Eight years ago, when
l was in Canada last, public sentiment was
almost unanimous on the other side of the
question. Nearly everybody except few
struggling manufacturers were in favor of
getting as near free trade as possible with
the United States; and Mr.. Laurler, the
prime minister, talked of commercial an
nexation."

TIL imports of Canada from the United

some great dealer in general merchandise,
Int the principal items were as follows:

Defeat of Reciprocity.

When the high Joint commission met In
the early part Of the Mckinley admins
tration there was an understanding be-
tween the prime minister of Canada and the
President of the United States that 1t
would conclude a reciprocity treaty under
which few custom houses would be neces-
sary on our northern border. But the vto-
lent opposition Of the lumbermen or the
west, the wheat growers of Minnesota and
the Dakotas. the fishermen of Massachu-
sets and the farmers of New York, Maine
and other border states made such nego-
tiations impossible. and the high 5ointers
could only exchange regrets. Since then
there has been a great change in the ma
terial conditions of Canada, which has SO eff
fected public sentiment that the opposition
to a reciprocity treaty from the Canadian
side will be even stronger than from the
United States.
Three years ago the manufacturers Of
Canada formed themselves into asso-
citation similar to one which has existed in
the United States for many years. They
have recently held their annual meeting at
Quebec. Mr.. Ballantyne, who was elected
president, in a speech which closed the pro-
ceedings congratulated his colleagues upon
the fact that the old antipathy to goods
manufactured in Canada has not only died
out, but has been replaced by decided
preference for goods of Canadian make.
Not long ago a Canadian merchant would
not have cared to proclaim that his goods
were of Canadian make. Now many make
this the chief feature Of their advertising,
and the improvements in quality have been
such that Canadian articles can be shown
side by side with imported goods without
fear of being set aside In favor of the lat
ter. The products of the factories of Can
ada are up-to-date and of honest charac-
ter. The result is gratifying testimony to
the general excellence of Canadian goods.
and is likewise tribute to the far-sighted-
ness Of the men who gave Canada tariff

Canada's Foreign Trade.

The foreign trade of Canada for the fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1905, amounted to
$40 Isl, 2s9.
For the previous year 1t was $464, $50. 567
and for 1903 1t was $414, 431 ISL Until 1899
the total never passed the three hundred
million mark, and ten years ago QS90 It
was only S21s.s91,314 Twenty years ago
QSS5) it was $191. 94S, $50. So you will see
there has been a constant and considerable
increase.
The largest growth has been in the trade
with the United States, Notwithstanding the
tariff determinations In favor Of Great
Britain, amounting to thirty-three per cent
reduction on the import dues paid upon all
goods brought over from the United States
and other countries.
The following table will show compari-
son of the trade of Canada with Great Brit
ain and the United States for the years
named:

Good unn.ekeeninn

In this bustling, busy life, it seems as
II good housekeeping were a lost art,
says the American Cultivator. There
are SO many paths and bypaths to it
that TO the modern young housekeeper
it is bit perplexing.
First of all. one must be systematic
for all time. Next to sytsem comes the
quality of promptness. A housekeeper
can not expect her maids to be prompt
If she delays herself. Have con-
venient hour for breakfast, luncheon
and dinner, and unless for some un-
foreseen reason do not deviate from
those hours.
But the larger the number of SER
wants, the more strain the housekeeper
is under. One has to watch them con-
tinually to see that the work is salts
factorily done, and many times it
would be much easier for one to do the
work ones self.
