Washington, d. C.-Peanuts are be-
ginning to form and appreciable and
rapidly growing item in the foreign
commerce of the United States especi-
ally in the import trade. Despite the
fact that the United States produces
probably 100000 bushels of peanuts
per annum, her expectations have been
in such inconsiderable quantities that
the bureau of statistics has only re-
cfiently found it necessary to include
peanuts in the list of articles exported.
Meantime the imports have also rapid
ly increased. and the total foreign
commerce in this article in the year
about to end will aggregate nearly ST.
100000, the imports having grown in
value from less than $4,000 in the year
1900 to about 100000 in the present
year, while exports Tor the year. will
approximate about 100000
Prices Of peanuts have also greatly
advanced in the foreign markets, the
average valuation of imported peanuts,
based upon wholesale prices in the
markets from which they are sent to
the United States, having advanced
from IL cents per pound in 1898 to 3.4
cents per pound in 1907 for those in the
natural state, and that of shelled pea
nuts imported in 1898 was "a cents per
pound, and in 1907 As cents.
West Africa and the East Indies are
the principal sources of supply of the
peanuts entering the international
markets of the world The exports OF
peanuts from the French colony of

lis Discovery MADE near glastonbury
Abbey Startles Eng and.
London July 27.-The Express prints
story Of the discovery near Glaston-
bury abbey of a glass vessel OF beau
tiful workmanship and apparent great
antiquity, which one at least of the
DISCOVERIES believes to be the Holy
Grail of Arthurian legend.
The Holy Grail'' is the cup from
which Christ drank at the last supper
which, according to an ancient British
tradition, was brought to this country
by Joseph of Arimathea after the cru
cifixion.
The newspapers story of the dis
covery and subsequent investigation
into the authenticity of the cup is
mixed up with the clairvoyant dream
experiences Of DR.. Goodchild an anti
quarry of Bath. and Mr.. Pole, a grain
merchant of Bristol. Their visions, as
described by the Express, might, u
clothed in medieval language, make
a fitting chapter for Arthurian story
books.
The one hard fact is the vessel

sequence of Mr.. Poles visions 1t Is

glass of some kind, cunningly inlaid
with silver leaf.

by Mr. Goodcllild, who brought it from

dignitary OF the church of England
who summoned a number of eminent
persons including psychologists, to see
and discuss Forty attended. including
some peers with ecclesiastical interests,
Ambassador Whitelaw Reid, Profess

There is more Catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many years doctors pronounced
it a local disease and prescribed local
remedies. and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease
Sc and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by f. j. Cheney & Co..
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken intern

Bear Causes Smash Up.

Washburn, Wis.-While driving be-
tween the town OF Rayfield and Corn
ucopia one night last week, I. j. Stew
enson of Minneapolis, father, and for
merly chairman OF the town of Bell, in
this county, met large black bear In
the middle of the highway and the
team which he was driving became so
badly frightened that it backed off a
large logflll in the road throwing Mr..
Stevenson out of the buggy and into a
deep pond of water underneath, the
horses landing upon the buggy and de-
molishing 1t. The fact that Mr.. Stew
enson fell out OF IT, rig before the
horses went over the fill probably saved
him from serious injury and perhaps
death, and he escaped without a
scratch. altho he was wet up consid-
erably and badly frightened. He re-
turned to Bayfield, after getting the
horses untangled from the buggy and
harnesses, and the bear fed into the
country The road upon which Steven
son met the bear runs thru a tim
bered country, and bears have often
been seen by parties travelling over the
road.

FROM CANADA
BRITISH COLUMBIA MAKES MONEY
ON THOSE ENTERING THE

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Informa-
ton has reached Washington that
japanese are getting into this country
in large numbers via British Columbia
by payment of what amounts practi-
cally to a $25 head tax to the Canadian
government. On July 9Th it is stated
the French steamer Amiral Jauregui-
berry arrived at Vancouver from Homo
lulu with 241 Japanese laborers on
board. All of them had passports from
Japan to Hawaii.
The Canadian authorities being sus-
picious at the heavy immigration of
Japanese announced that under a re-
cent law the Japanese would have to
give a bond to get employment within
two weeks or be deported. The Japa-
nese clearinghouse union gave bond
for s3O25 and it was signed, it is stated
by the Japanese Consul. 1t was also
required that $25 each be deposited for
the immigrants to be forfeited if they
failed to get employment in the time
stated
When the two weeks were up, it is
said some of the Japanese had found
work, but most of them had disap-
peared. 1t is supposed that they got
into the United States
The captain of the Amiral Jauregu:-
berry is reported to have said that his
company owned a line running from
France to Honolulu and America, and
that contracts had ben made by Japa-
nese for the shipment of coolies
monthly from Honolulu to America.
The contract covers ten ships of that
line.
