Tirey l.. Ford. general coun- sel for the company, said: "Sanderson could not have made any confession, because there was no bribery. These rights were granted the United Rail- roads shirtly after the fire in response to a universal demand for the resump- tion of street railway operation. There was not a dissenting voice, and the only question was whether these rights would be temporary or continue dur ing the life of the company's franchises twenty years. In view of the heavy expenditures involved in reconstruct ing roads for overhead operation, the company positively declined to proceed with the work unless the rights were to continue during the life of the fran
 chises. There was no bribery attempt ed in any form or manner whatsoever D

THE COUNTRIES

Exports for the Year are
 Nearly $7O.OOO.OOO
American Wood and It's Products Sent to All Parts of the World.

Washington. Dec. 2-Wood and man. ufacturers of wood are forming a con- stantly rapidly increasing share of the exports of the United States. The to- tai value of wood and it's manufactures exported in the nine months ending with September. 1906. exceeded by 3S per cent those of the corresponding period of last year and aggregated. for the nine months. no less than 59 mil lion dollars. If to this are added the shipments of this character to the nOn- contiguous territory of the United States, not now included in our foreign trade figures the total value of wood and its manufactures leaving our ports in the nine months in question will az gregate 61 million dollars. or at the rate of sI million dollars a year. A decade ago in the fiscal year 1896. the total value of wood and it's manufac- lures exported was practically g. mill lion dollars. and in the fiscal year 1906 was, in round terms. 69 millions. and if to this are added the shipments to noncontiguous territory the total. in round terms. would be 71 millions. The increase in the single year 1906, over 1905. was II million dollars in the ship ments to foreign territory.
 Practically the whole world is ask ing for American wood and its pro- ducts. Even of Logs and sawed and hewn timber" the total exports for the fiscal year 1906 were 1515 million dol- lars against 715 millions in 1896. and the shipments of the material in this crude form went to not only all of the principal European countries. but to most of the countries of South and Central America, Australia. Philippine Islands, Japan, and even Africa. The

of exports of wood and its manufac- lures is that designated as furniture. !" of which the value exported in 1906 was 5A million dollars against 3L millions in 1896, the increase in. Logs and sawed and hewn timber" and Lumber" having been greater propOr- tiOnately than that shown by "Furni- ture." Of the : F million dollars worth of furniture" exported in 1906. Mexi- co was the largest customer, the amount exported to Mexico being sS4S.- 279; to British North America, S76s.- 636; to Cuba, $72O.33S: to United Kingdom. s669. .S45; to British Austra- lasia, s2S7,541; to Argentina, $331. .S51. while smaller quantities went to the Central American States. France. Ger many, Italy. Belgium. Netherlands. Brazil, Chile. Colombia. Venezuela, China, British East Indies and Japan.
 An continuation of the export record of wood and wood products for a long term of years indicates that the most raTid growth has occurred during the last decade. As far back as 1876 the value of wood and wood manufactures exported was but 1714 million dollars: in 1886. 201z millions; in 1896. practi- cally 32 millions. and in 1906. 69 mli- lions. exclusive of the shipments to our noncontiguOus territory, most of which was included in the figures of 1896. and if added to those. of 1906 would bring the total up to n millions. Thus the growth from 1876 to 1886 was but about 3 million dollars; from 1886 to 1896. about 12 millions. and from 1896 to 1906. 37 millions.
