Our Asiatic Trade.

The people here think our Aslatic trade
is just at its beginning. 1t should be So
for there are 500,0O0,0O0 people living on
the other side OF this great waterway
reached by cheap transportation. As it Is
now most Of our foreign business is with
Europe. We lead the world in exports, but
It is the English and Germans who are
our chief customers We sell something
like $500. 100000 worth of goods TO foreign
countries every year, and for the year end
ing June 80, 1906 only little more than
one-fifth that amount went TO Asia and
Oceanica, This was an increase Of about
200 per cent over our trade with those
countries ten years ago, but 1t is baga-
telle in comparison with the possibilities.
Take Japan. That country has now 49,
100000 people and is becoming one Of the
big customers of the world. Its total trade
with us amounts to s100,OO0OO0 a year.
which is four times as much as It was when
1t began its new era as a world power.
The japanese are rapidly increasing their
consumption Of foreign goods and they Will
eventually use many times what they do
now.
The Chinese Japanese war and the war
between Russia and Japan have done Won
ders in breaking down the wall between
China and the outside world. Our trade
with that country, including Hong Kong.
is now $92.OOO.OOO, which is three times as
much as 1t was a decade ago. The Chinese
win increase their demands for foreign
goods just as the japanese have done, and,
with the opening up OF the country to rail-
roads and modern industries, the con-
sumption may be ten times what II is now.
The Chinese boycott Is temporary. They
are among the shrewdest traders and best
business men OF the world, and they will
not allow a sentiment to AFFECT their trade
a long time. In 1903 our exports to Japan
were more than 81 for every man, woman
and child in the country When they be-
come that for China we will be sending
500 10000 worth OF American goods there
every year.
In addition there is the market OF the
Philippines with their population OF $780,
600. OF Australia with 100000, Corea with
100000 Asiatic Russia with 1900, co., Siam
with 5000 900 and the British East Indies
with S5O,0O0.O0O There are the millions upon
millions OF the Dutch East Indies OF the
French East Indies and Of the islands OF
the seas, making a total for Asia and
Oceanica OF almost SO0,O0OO00 souls. II
will be a long time before all these people
will be using American products. but the
possibility OF our Pacific trade running over
1909 10000 a year is easily conceivable.
This means an immense growth OF manu-,

Sure of His Job

A Philadelphia lawyer recently had cause
to make frequent complaints Of the de-
structiveness Of his office boy. an Irish
lad Of II. The straw that broke the camel'n
back was the smashing OF a unique Ink
stand presented to the attorney by q
friend in Japan. AS the stand was quite
valuable the lawyer decided to teach the
boy, lesson. So, summoning him, he said.
Look here, Tom. this sort OF thing must
cease. That inkstand was worth $50. I
shall retain 81 of your salary each week
till IL has been paid for"
With a grin the boy replied; '"wen. sir,
It looks like I'm sure of a steady Job for
sna.a time to come"

began to build the houses of the Missis-

These ships are the outcome OF Mr.. Hill
hunt for Great Northern freights. They
are an annex to the Great Northern rail-
way, which has unlocked this door TO the
orient, as It were, with a wooden key. The
story has been told by Mr.. Hill himself.
He had built his road from St. Paul 10
Puget sound and started the trains. After
a short time he found that his cars were
well filled going from east TO west, but
they were returning half empty. He also
found that II cost him just Sl25 TO carry
n car from Seattle TO st. Paul. and the
way seemed clear toward large losing
business. The Mr.. Hill went over tho
road and looked out for freight. He cast
his eyes into the woods Of this great north
west and saw something like 100000 900. Oc0
feet OF the worlds best timber ready for
cutting. Other men had seen it before. but
as Hin looked through the woods he also
saw trains flying toward the east carrying

Incidents Vary Monotony.

This is the daily routine. 1t is varied
with incidents sufficient to deprive It OF
monotony, nearly every town furnishing
something to divert the attention and af-
ford food for laughter and gossip and
merry chan until the next is reached.
Here and there through the train business
men chat in little groups, again a busy
one is noted setting down entries IN his
memorandum book, or maybe he is enter
tanning a customer or friend from the
town Just left and with whom he could
not end his talk at the station Cribbage
and hearts and bridge whist are seen in
progress, and time is killed in various
ways. Now and then some one not ac-
customed to getting up for breakfast at
9 a. m. takes a little nap. Finally tho
train rolls into the Omaha depot again. and
a tired but contented party, loaded down
with hand baggage, makes its way up to
the trolley tracks and goes homo to sleep
at least. The next day is spent in CO.

up with business. and then tho busy work.

more eastward than toward the west.
The empty trains were now on the other
side of the ledger, and Hill had to fill
them. He again cast his eyes toward the
west, and this time sent them on a voyage
across the Pacific. He saw that half the
worlds population lived on the other side
Of that great ocean ferry. and that they
all dressed in cottons. He then began
to plan to carry the products of our
southern plantations thither. A part of
that scheme was the combination of the
Northern Pacific, Burlington and Great
Northern railroads. and another part the
building of the Dakota and the Mime
sofa His work at once began TO show.
In 1901 he was carrying to Puget sound
1900 bales of cotton piece goods and 49,,
100000 pounds of raw cotton, One year
later he had increased the piece goods al
most 600 per cent. while at the same time
he was building up a good business with
the orient In hardware, machinery and
nails.
These big ships were a necessity in order
to bring down ocean 'freights, for Hill has
to compete not only with the other trans
Pacific roads and such ports as San Fran
cisco, but also with the big steamers from
France, Germany and England, whose
goods are not loaded with long rail haul
across the Rocky mountains. The general
freights have been so cut that ton can
now be sent from Chicago TO Manila by
way Of Seattle for S. The distance is
about 5000 miles, Sc that the freight is
toted 1000 miles for 81. or 100 miles for
10 cents Mr.. Hill says that the rate will
eventually be reduced to 81 per ton.

Reception Always Cordial.

Probably the most notable feature OF the
experience is the cordlality with which tho
citizens OF the smaller towns welcome the
business men OF Omaha, A prejudice
against the metropolis may exist in tho
interior towns Of the state; II has been
said to exist but, II II does, II is care
fully concealed on these occasions. The
glad-hand pushers from Omaha are met
with a glad-hand that equals II It doesn't
excel their own. Open-armed hospitality is
the rule. and the Omaha visitor is made
for the time the guest OF the entire COM
munity. His every wish is anticipated. and
he is cared for as II he were long lost
brother indeed To say that one tswn sur
passed another in fits greeting would be
to make a comparison that could not be
demonstrated. Each town did its best, ana
each was the subject of many compliment
tary references. None left undone any
thing that could be wished for and every
where the welcome was graceful and cor.
dial as II was enthusiastic.

some Pointed Paragraphs.


A very young man likes to be mistaken for
cynic.
Some men hurry through life as if widows
were chasing them.
Most women expect to draw blanks in the
matrimonial lottery.
Many a mans good fortune is due to the
will power Of deceased relative.
Nothing is gained by abusing those whose
opinions differ from your own.
Is it coincidence that the worldly parson
revolves around the collection platter
If boy doesn't earn more than he gets he
will never amount to much as a man.
Babies and pianos cause lot oftrouble be-
cause people refuse to let them alone.
And it takes two fools with but single
thought to generate fullsized case of mutual
jealousy.
After a selfmade man has finished the job
he should make few friends to be used in
case of emergency.
There are times when we like to meet en-
thusiastic men-and there are other times
when we are just as anxious to get away from
them.
