of American Republics. Statistics
compiled for the fiscal year just ended
show that the total exports and i'm
ports exchanged between the United
States and the Latin American coun.
tries aggregated $610,000,000. This
stands out in marked contrast against
the total OF $3.50, 900 900 ten years ago.
II we analyze this total We find that
the value Of imports from Latin Amer
lea by the United States was $780,

Dear Friends:-You will remember
that said that you would hear from
US and now I'm keeping my word. We
reached Liverpool on Friday last, after
a fine, quick and enjoyable PASSAGE
time, little under six days from Hall
fax. We were not sick at all and were
able to do justice to the first-class fare
served on board. The "Empress of
Ireland" though not one of the largest,
is still first-class boat in emergency.
She has sailing capacity of 20 miles
an hour, carries crew Of over 300, and
has room for $50 passengers. So you
see we could have plenty of company.
We were not without plenty Of means
of amusement. There were the usual
deck games of ouoits, billiards, etc.,
and also library and social hall, with
a good piano. On the Sunday we had
service morning and evening, and each
day there was something to prevent
dullness. Among other things there
were concerts for the benefit of the
Seaman's Orphanage at Liverpool
Of course there were the usual num-
ber who were compelled to pay tribute
to "Father Neptune" and they for
some reason had no appetite. sup
pose Agnes and l may thank our for
mer experience for not having to suffer
in that way and for being able to enjoy
all that was going on.

At sunrise we were off the coast of

and could see "CreeDa, the hill after
which Hall Gaines home is named.
And so on, one point of interest after
another till the 13 miles Of docks at
Liverpool, all lighted up, came in view,
and we went ashore at Z O'Clock, after
a very pleasant voyage.
We thought of Bowbells on Sunday
last as we went to church, and hoped
you were having good times. Last
Sunday morning we went to ''Ian Mac
laren's" church at Liverpool, and in
the evening to the Episcopal service,
where the choir were all men and boys.
You would have enjoyed hearing those
boys sing. OF course they were splen-
didly trained.

our best regards to all the friends at
Bowbells, for whom we will always
have a sincere regard. With every
good wish for the festive season,
Yours very sincerely,

Taken From the Annual Report to the

For the information of the taxpayer
and others interested in the Ward
County schools, we publish the follow
ing extract from our annual report to
the Department of Public Instruction.
The entire report shows consistent and
permanent development along educa-
tional lines, but is too long to publish in
full. A number of school houses have
been erected, many new districts organ
lied, better teachers employed, more

increased $110, 900 during the pastye
The following items cover the school
year from July 1st, 1905, to June 30th,
1906, except the apportionment which
is taken for the calendar year, January
1st to December 31st. The increase in
per capita apportionment, from $5.57
last year to SO. 62 this year, is caused
by a smaller number of children being
enumerated through the operation Of
the law requiring at least sixty days.
attendance. The total amount received
by the county is no less but it is not d.
vided equally to all children Of school age
as heretofore. It is absolutely essen
tial that all parents and school officers
persist in their efforts to place school
within the reach Of all, and insist upon
attendance, in order that each district
can draw it's share of this apportion-
ment money.
I take this opportunity of thanking
the school boards and others who have
supported and assisted this office dur
ing the past two years, and to urge
continued earnestness in the promotion
of school work.
