RoosEvELT,s CABIN.

The log cabin in which President
Roosevelt lived for three years while
he was a rancher has been placed in
the Agricultural building at the
Lewis & Clark Exposition as a part
of the state of North Dakota's exhi-
bit. The cabin was taken apart and
the pieces numbered, so that they
could be put together exactly as it
was when the president was a cow
boy. 1t stands near the south wall
of the Agricultural building.
1t was in 1888 that Mr.. Roosevelt
went to North Dakota and purchased
the Maltese Cross ranch, a place on
the Little Missouri river, eight miles
south of Medora. On taking pos
session Mr.. Roosevelt changed the
name to Chimney Butte, on account of
a chimney-shaped butte a short dis
lance away. The rough cabin which
he bought with the ranch was the
home of the future president for
nearly three years, and in it he lived
the life of a cowboy.
In the cabin there will be exhibited
also a number of interesting memen-
toes of the presidents life at the
period. An old straw hat, which
Mr.. Roosevelt wore when he went to
the ranch, which was discarded short
ly afterward as unsuitable to the kind
of life he must lead, was found in an
old sack in corner of the cabin, and
will be shown to visitors at the Wes-
tern Worlds Fair. Other relics in
clude the presidents old gun, his
" chaps" boots and the war bag in
which he stored these articles when he
gave up his cowboy life.

EXPLAINS HOMESTEAD LAW.

w. A. Richards commissioner OF
the general land Office, has prepared
circular letter of instructions, a
copy of which will be sent in the fu-
ture to every person who makes a
homestead entry of public land. The
DETER is intended to acquaint every
eentryman with the terms and provi-
sions of the homestead law, and the
requirements for obtaining land un-
der its provisions so that, in the flu
>ture, ignorance of the law will not
lpalliate any failure to comply with it.
fSixty-nine thousand homestead en-
tries were made last year, and this
year they are averaging 1000 month.
On the back of the circular letter
is printed information concerning the
homestead law, the requirements of
the general land office, and sugges-
tons to the entrymen, which, if fully
followed, would enable him to fully
comply with the law in letter and
spirit.
The circular letter is as follows:
'.The papers supporting your recent
homestead entry have been received,
examined and filed in this office. In
order that you may be fully informed
as to your duties under this entry,
as we'll as the cause which may result
inSits cancellation, you should care
fully read, study and remember the
suggestions printed on the back of this
letter because any failure on your part
to cure any existing defect in the en-
try and any failure to fully and in
good faith comply with the laws re-
quiring residence, improvements, cul-
tiyation and proof will be sure to re-
suit i'm decentralization of the entry
and the loss of your improvements.
HEntrymen should constantly bear
in mind that any sale, or contract, or
agreement to sell anv of ti>-- i--- "1'
embraced in their entries, or any part
thereof, or any interest therein prior
to making final proof, will cause the
entry to be cancelled, and may even
result in the cancellation of the pa
tent should such patent be inadver-
.tently issued.
cit should also be constantly re-
membered that any false statement
made in either the affidavits or final
proof made in support of any entry will
not only cause its cancellation, but
NAV result in criminal indictment and
prosecution.

though the total shipments Of Ameri-
can goods to the Orient have increased
since the war by about SAL, 900, 900 the
net increase to the two countries which
are at war has been only about SIS, :
600, 900. 1t may be fair inference
that two thirds of the increase in the
Orient was due, therefore, to perfectly
normal conditions-at least not war
conditions.
In the entire fiscal year 1902, which
was the banner year of American COM
merce with the Orient, the total ex-
ports were 500, 944, OFT. In the nine
months ending March 81 last the ex-
ports amounted to $85, 319,S77. The
greatest increase in exports was to
China, the total for the nine months
being $33, ,341, 410, as against only
$97, 81, 937 in the same months of the
fiscal year 1904. The largest exports
to China heretofore were in the year
1902, when the total was $24, 722, 906.
Heretofore the Chinese trade has been
hardest to get, and the fact that there
has been such an increase in this
commerce durins the past year is re-
garded by the department of COM
merce as highly significant.

A NATURAL GROWTH.

Commenting on the enormous ex-
mansion in the volume of American
commerce in the Orient for the first
nine months of the current fiscal year,
the Washington correspondent to the
Post-Intelligencer draws attention to
the fact that while Japan has been
taking largely increased quantity OF
merchandise China has also participa-
ted in the growth to marked extent,
indicating that the movement is not
altogether due to the enlarged demands
incident to the war. For the first
nine months of the current fiscal year,
the record of which is complete, the
American exports to European coun-
tries were more than $2l, 900, 600
greater than in any entire year in the
history of the United States. The
prospect now is that the total of ship
ments to Asia for this fiscal year will
be not less than SIPS, 900, 900. The
largest amount of American merchan-
disc ever shipped to Asia in any pre-
vious year was less than $64, 900, 900.
During the first nine months of the
present fiscal year the exports to Asia
were nearly twice as great as those O.
the same months of the fiscal yea
1904 The gain was nearly Sal, 900,
900. How far the war conditions il
the Orient affected this commerce ma
fbe .gathered to some extent, but nc
sexactly or for certainty, from tn
records of the bureau of statistics c
the department of commerce and labor
American shipments to japan in tn
first nine months of the fiscal yea
have increased by more than SIS, 900, o.
sas compared with the same months I
last year. On the other hand shil
ments to Asiatic Russia, which we
already insignificant, decreased
$155, 272.
1t will be seen therefore that
