Big Increase in Neat and Dairy
Products Sent to Foreign
Markets
Ess CORN GOING ABROAD
Farmers Adopt Plan of Converting
Cereals Into Meats Before Sending
to Foreign Countries Increase in
Meat and Dairy Exports Amounts to
60 Per Cent.

Washington, Dec. More than ESQ
million dollars worth of meat and dairy
products will have passed out of the
United States into the markets of 9TH
ing with the present month. This en-
ormous total of $250,000,000 worth of
meat and dairy products is made up of
little over s200000,000 worth of
meats, $35,0O0,0oO worth of cattle, and
about s1o,oo0,000 worth of butter,
cheese, and milk. The ten months rec
ord already announced by the bureau
of statistics of the department of COM
merce and labor show expectations OF
meat and meat products to the value OF
s172,O00,O0O, against $147,0o0,o00 in the
corresponding period of last year, a
gain Of $25,O00,000 in the ten months
ending with October, 1906. over the
corresponding months of 1905, and a
gain of about s40,00000O over those OF
the corresponding months of 1904. The
live cattle exported in the ten months
ending with October, 1906, amounted to
32,500,000 in value, and the dairy pro-
ducts exported to about $S,000,0O0.
No feature of the export trade in ag-
ricultural products has shown more
steady and rapid growth than that of
meat and dairy products. The total
value of meat and dairy products ex-
ported in the fiscal year 1896 was $780,
100000, and in the fiscal year 1906 was
$211, 100000, an increase Of about so per
cent during the decade; while the hg-
ures for the calendar year 1906 seem
likely to be about the same as those
for the fiscal year, basing the estimate
upon the recorded figures Of the ten
months ending with October.
This increase of so per cent IN the
expectation of meat and dairy products
during the decade is the more interest
ing and remarkable in view Of the fact
that the expectation of other Owns OF
food has shown but little increase dur
ing that period. The principal forms
OF foodstuffs exported from the United
States are breadstuffs and meats. En-
ports of meat, including dairy products,
as above indicated, have shown a
steady upward movement during the
past ten years and increased 60 per
cent In value since 1896. Braadstuffs,
on the contrary, show a de:iine, the
total value of breadstuffs exported in
1897 having been 1913 million dollars:
in 1898, 1874 millions; in 1899, PA mil
Hons; in 1900, 263 millions, and IN 1901,
276 millions, since which time it has
steadily declined until the total for the
fiscal year 1905 was but 1856 millions,
and for the calendar year 1906 will diff
fer a little from THAT of the hscal
year.
This gain is expectation of meats and
loss in expectation OF breadstuffs seem
to be due, in part, to the disposition of
the American farmer to transform his
corn into meat before sending it
abroad. The total quantity of corn ex-
ported was, in 1897, 1T million bushels;
in 1898, 209 millions; in 1900, lO9 mil :
lions; while from that date the total

MORE PAY FOR POSTAL CLERKS
Three Movements Inausurated in Their
Behalf.


Washington, d. ca Dec. 5.-Increase
in the salaries of postoffice clerks will
be prominent question at the COM
ing session of congress Already three
movements Of Importance have been
begun, all of which are directed to-
ward this end and none OF which can
be ignored by congress The three
movements are headed by the post
office department. by the postal clerks
themselves and by the chambers Of
commerce all over the country
Clerks in the postal service now re-
ceive a minimum salary Of $500 and a
maximum salary Of $1,000. The pros
perity of the country has created such
demand for service and the oppor-
tunities Of betterment Of the individ-
ual have so much increased that the
postal service Of the country may be
said to be hanging on the ragged edge
OF disruption, owing to the large num-
Der of designations from the service
and the lack Of sufficient applicants
to fill the places.
+ This is particularly true Of the larger
cities and this situation has served to
crystalize the movements OF the de-
partment, which wantI fair play and
fair wages for it's clerks; of the clerks
who feel they are entitled to more SAL
airy for their work, and OF the COM
mercial bodies who fear an Inadequate
service may seriously jeopardize the
business Of the country.
The commercial movement originated
with the chamber of commerce Of Ever
EFT, Wash, and has spread all over the
country with great rapidity. 1t has not
confined its efforts to the first class
postmasters alone, but has canyassed
the situation In the second-class offices
as we'll with the result that congress
will be flooded this winter by an influx
OF petitions which cannot be laid aside.

Alton L., an Iowa Trotter, Wins
Place in Montgomery, Ala, Meeting.

Is Clinton on the verge OF leaving
the Iowa State League and casting its
fortune with the "Three-T' circuit?
Such would seem to be the import Of
information received from Bloomington.
ILL.,, the headquarters of the "Three-T'
circuit, and the home of President
Holland. Clinton has been stealthily
seeking place in the "Three-T' and as
in Clinton investigating local condi-
tons to learn II that city would be
suitable material to fill the vacancy In
the "Three-I." What the outcome Of
the investigation will be will not be
known until the annual meeting of the
league, when President Holland will
report. There has been a feeling in
Clinton that 1t was not wanted In the
Iowa State League, and that 1t was
very liable to be ousted at the annual
meeting. This impression which Clin-
ton holds Is entirely without facts for
q AOnAuftlAoI, says 1ISSioCuI 1CSn~
ham, who has made an effort to allay
Clintons uneasiness and assure its
base bali leaders that it is wanted in
the Iowa circuit.
At meeting Of the board Of athletic
control Of the State University of Iowa
the schedule for 1907 was discussed ana
it was decided to give Nebraska a
game. The Iowa schedule, now that
seven games instead of five may be
played under the Chicago conference
rules, will be much heavier than it was
this year. Drake will likely be given
a game and the state university team
will probably go to Des Moines to play
1t, as the alumni there are insistent up
on having the Hawkeyes play there.
Ames, of course. will be played a..
Ames unless the alumni are successful
in their effort to have 1t played in Des
Moines.

~ hope for a good beginning in this
congress. II the problem comes up at
all 1t will be something new under the
sun in national legislative councils ana
cannot fail to arouse wide interest.
Shortest Congressional Service.
No doubt there will be a sense Of
great relief In the house because tho
Twelfth Missouri district at last has .
representative with nobody after his
scalp. For half dozen years this dis
trict has given the house more bother
than all the other districts in the coun-
try. 1t la In the heart Of the business
district of st. Louis and Is said to rep
resent more wealth than any other con-
gressional district in the United States.
James J. Butler son Of Boss Ed But
Ter of st. Lo-is. was elected to con-
gress from the Twelfth, according to
the returns. in 1901. His seat was con-
tested, and the house decided that there
was SO much fraud on both sides that
nobody was elected, SO the seat was
declared vacant. Mr.. Butler ran again
a. the special election, was again de-
clared elected and again unseated. Al
this same special election to oil the va
cancy caused by his own unseating he
was also elected on the face Of the re-
turns for another full term, the day
being the regular election day. George
G. r. Wagner, funeral director, was
Mr.. Buffers opponent at the election
to fill the vacancy. On the very last
day Of the term Wagner was declar-
ed elected, sat one day in congress
and drew $4,000 salary. That is said
to be the shortest congressional service
on record.
"Jim Butler has been kicked out Of
congress twice in one term" said a st. !
Louis friend.
EYES," remarked a man who opposed
him, land he's got another kick conn
ing"
Butler was finally seated, however,
and enjoyed small part Of q term
embarrassed by the ghost Of the third
kick. He concluded that he had had
enough Of public life, SO for the cleo
ton Of 1904 his friends put up Ernest
E. Wood young lawyer who was al
most a stranger in st. Louis. Wood
was elected on the face Of the returns,
and the Twelfth again caused congress
a severe pain. Harry NJ. Coudrey, the
other candidate, contested. A few days
before the close Of the long session
last summer Mr.. Coudrey was seated.
He sits In the short term without hav-
ing to bind himself to his seat, and he
is sure of another term, for he was re-
elected by safe plurality last Novem-
Der.
Thus, after many spasms, congress p
cured Of the Twelfth Missouri a1iiic-
ton, for two years and three months
at any rate, and can now proceed to
get down to business and work without
worrying.

Or. Williams Pink Pills, Best Blood
and Nerve Food, Cured This
Case and the Proof
il Positive,

Nobody who has not endured the sui
fering caused by nervous headache can
realize the awful agony of its victims.
Worst Of all, the ordinary treatment
cannot be relied upon to cure nor even
to give relief that Is permanent. some
doctors will say that If a person is SUB
ject to these headaches there is nothing
that will prevent their recurrence.
Nervous headaches, as well as neu-
ralgia, are caused by lack Of nutrition
the nerves are starved. Feed the nerves
by furnishing through the blood the
elements which they require and the
cause OF these nervous troubles is re-
moved The only way to feed the nerves
is through the blood and it is in this
way that DR.. williams Pink Pills have
accomplished so many remarkable
cures.

would come on me every FIVE or six
weeks and continue for several days.

In cases of nervousness, as neuralgia.

WILL PUSH CAR INQUIRIES.

Interstate Chairman Knapp Has In
vestigators in Northwest.
Washington, Dec. 5.-The intentions
and attitude OF the interstate COM
merce commission respecting the car
shortage in the northwest are made
clear in the following letter addressed
to Senator Hansbrough by Chairman
Knapp:
"The inability Of shippers to secure
cars for the movement of their traf-
fic is reported from various parts or
the country, and amounts In some sec
tons. as you observe, to almost cal
amity. This matter has given the
commission special concern, altho we
appear to be without any adequate
authority to deal with such situation
We can exert no direct power TO COM
pei Interstate carriers to furnish ade-
quate equipment nor are we prepared
at this time to recommend Legislation
upon this subject.
''If a given carrier unjustly disortm-
mates between shippers in distribute
ing It's car supply we could undoubt-
eddy make an enforcible order OF relief
after investigating complaint and
giving the carrier hearing. We could
also, perhaps, avoid reparation for
damages resulting from failure to sup
ply sufficient cars, but our power to do
SO is not altogether certain.
Moreover, any award made by US
in a proceeding brought for that pur..
pose would establish only a prima facie
case against the carrier in a suit
brought in the federal courts to en-
force the order. Inasmuch' as such
proceeding goes upon the theory OF
awarding damages, 1t would seem to
be rather suitable and efficient for ag-
grieved shippers to bring their suits
in the courts in the first instance.
1--WE have, however,, ordered an In
vestigation OF this matter Of car short
age and will prosecute it with the ut
most dispatch: Already one or more
agents.have been sent to the northwest
and 1t is expected that hearings will
take place in that region within the
next two weeks. This appears to be
the most effective course the commits
sion can take and you may be assured
that everything will be done within the
scope of our authority to bring about
the earliest possible relief"
