They look at all these things before
they attempt anything of prophecy.
and when they do consent to prophecy
they do not put it in black and white
because there is always a chance of
the arising of something hitherto I'M
known; but they do consent to give
an expression of their belief in the
future, founded upon the best knowl-
edge which is given to them from all
available sources. 1t is only the crop
expert who in the winter, the time
of the death of vegetation, refuses to
say one word as to the future, for the
time of long distance weather fore

The view of the coming year as it
touches exports and imports and the
manufacturers of the country is to be
expressed only by the much-used and
apparently well-liked word, rosy.
Should there be those who look
only to the purse as the standard OF
a peoples happiness, it may be said
that there is more money in circula-

United States to-day than ever there

tutional solidity and prosperity of the
country seems to have a foundation
of rock which cannot readily be worn
away. The light shines ahead.

DISASTERS DURING THE YEAR
Earthquake in Italy the Worst Calam-
ity Recorded in 1905.

Earthquake in Italy the Worst Calam-
ity Recorded in 1905.
Disasters were numerous during
1905, though there was no calamity
involving such great loss of life or
such horrors as accompanied the burn
ing of the Iroquois theater at Chicago
in 1908, or of the steamer General S1o-
cum at New York in 1904 Leaving
out of consideration the Russo-Japa-
nese war, the greatest disaster of the
year occurred in Calabria, Italy, where
400 lives were lost through an earth
quake Sept. s. Nearly as many deaths
were recorded as due to the collapse
of a partially constructed reservoir
near Madrid, Spain, April 8.
The most serious disaster in the
United States was the tornado in
Texas, April %. At Laredo 100 lives
were lost. A tornado in Oklahoma,
May IL, caused nearly as many deaths
in the town of Sidney. fire in a
shoe factory at Brocton, Mass, re-
sulting from an explosion, March 20,
also resulted in 100 deaths.
Railroad accidents probably have
not caused so many deaths as in 1904,
but several serious ones occurred dur
ing the past year. In a collision on
the Western Maryland railroad, TWEEN
ty-eight miles from Baltimore, June
1, twenty-three persons were killed.
In each of three other wrecks twenty
lives were lost, and two wrecks
caused twelve deaths each.
By an explosion in the Rush Run
and Red Ash coal mines, near Thur
mond, w. Va, March 10, twenty-four
lives were lost. gas explosion in a
mine at Ziegler, ILL.,, April IS, en-
tombed fifty miners. July IL more
than 100 miners were killed by an
explosion in the pits at Wattstown,
Wales.
OF disasters on the water the most
serious was the wreck of the South
ampton Railway company's steamer
Hilda, off ST. Malo, English channel
in which 100 lives were lost. The
explosion of the boiler Of the United
States gunboat Bennington in San
Diego harbor, July 81, caused the
death of sixty of the crew.

ed, mechanically. Then, after dreary
pause, when do I quit here?"
"Oh, there's no hurry. You could
stay till the first of the month, only
those people are waiting for you.
You'll find them very pleasant"
There was another interval of 81
lence. CLEANERS nervously picked up
his hat and arose.

SUSIE" he said, land we've appreci-
ated you immensely. L know 1 have,

she said, still looking dumbly at the
deer heads on her bronze inkstand.
He started to the door, hesitated,
looked back, then boldly turned and
went out. AS ne descended in the ele-
vator the troubled face was before
him, and he wondered why his action
had seemed to reprehensible. He had
tried to state the case as gently as
possible, and yet from some quarter
an insistent little voice was telling
him he had made an awful botch of it.
He left the elevator-and walked to the
exit. Then it occurred to him that
he had always intended, when she
left, that he would give her a certain
painting she had admired, and which
was hanging in her office. She might
be gone when he returned, so it was
best to do it now.

accommodating beyond his kind, 81

YEAR AS SEEN BY RRADsTREEr
Period of Heavily Increased Purchas-
inQ Power.

POWST.
The year just ending has been one
of almost boundless activity, accord
ing to Bradstreet's. 1t was a period
of rich rewards to agriculture, though
not of uniformly record yields; of
abundance of employment for labor
and of few serious strikes; of build
ing and constructive activity in all
lines; of enormously enlarged bank
clearings totals, and of striking small
failure damage, considering the i'm
mense business done and the unpre-
cedented number engaged therein.
That it was, on the whole, year
of heavily increased public purchas-
ing power seems certain, in view of
the fact that commodity prices were
maintained at record high levels.
Continuing the report states:
'The multitude of records broker
shows that new guideposts have, in
deed been set up. The revival which
began in the last half of 1904, far
from spending it's force, as was pre-
dicted in the early part of 1905, grew
as the year advanced. The CONNER
cial, financial and Industrial move
ment surged forward, weather draw
backs and disclosures of financial rot
tenness in high places failing to stem
the upward trend. Disregard of pre-
cedents was. perhaps, best illustrated
in the persistent advance of securi-
ties despite high money prices, and
the tendency to discount prosperity
was irresistible"
Speaking of conditions in the at.
ter part of tk> year it is stated:
''In September car shortages began
to affect traffic and collections, clear
ings reached new high figures, while
| failures and liabilities for nine months
were below 1904. Lifting of southern
| guarantees gave zest to southern
| trade, which was further helped by
high cotton quotations when the
movement was heaviest. In the last
| quarter open weather favored out
| door activity, but retarded retail
| trade, which was also hampered by
farmers holding grain and cotton and
/ the car congestion, which likewise de
| layed collections. Stock speculation
| though lacking marked public particf
| patton and displaying manipulatlve in.
| f1uences, was of large volume at rec
| ord prices. despite high money, in
| fuenced by active trade and dis
turbed foreign markets Iron and
| steel outputs advanced; ore sales
clearlnSS ana staple prices all scored
high levels in December"
OF the outlook for the new year the
| report says:
IF satisfaction with the past and
| confidence in the future are at all re
liable guides, 1906 Is likely to equal
If indeed it does not surpass, the yeal

the rush across the desert from the

stalled in the deep sands.
Those who had waited for the signal
before rushing into the reservation
found, it is asserted, that all the more
valuable claims in the vicinity of Rich,
Dutchmans, Cottonwood and numerous
other creeks emptying into Walker
lake had been taken up by men who
had unlawfully rushed during the
night.
The opening OF the reservation was
not as imposing as 1t promised to be
because, it is said, many miners flock

morning, overwhelming the Indian po

that the alleged rush was allowed to
take place. He said that there Is yet
possibility that the present opening
may be declared invalid and new one
called for.
Subagent Robert Loyegroye stated
that United States engineers, who were
sent there to carry out reclamation
work on portion of the Walker land
reservation that has been allotted to
the Indians, had occupied their time in
placing launches on the edge of Walk

tary to the law, which states that all

been mentioned by Governor Higgins.
A corrupt practices act has been pass
