LEADING COMMERCIAL NATION
United States Has Proud Distinction
of Leading the World

The general industrial and trade
conditions of Mexico are at present
such as should command attention
in the United States. The country
is rapidly advancing educationally.
industrially, and commercially; the
feeling of the people toward the
United States is most friendly
while purchases of American manu-
featured products are already large
and capable of substantial increase.
The total trade of Mexico for the
fiscal year 1907 was valued at
$239,727,936 gold, of which $116.-
214,967 represents imports, and
$12S,512,969 exports (includlng
bullion and specie.) The value OF
the imports from the United States
was $72,895,539, and of exports to
the United States $S7,652,94S. The
United States takes by far the larger
proportion of Mexico's exports and
furnishes the greater percentage OF
her imports. OF the share of Next
cos imports furnished by European
countries, Germany supplies most
representing value of $12,165,767.
followed by Great Britain with Sill
1929, France with $S,7Sl,624'
and Spain with $3,970.542. other
European countries show much
lower figures, and are, in their re-
spective order, Belgium, Italy Aus
tria-Hungary, and Switzerland.
The above figures. though gratify-
ing as regards the trade OF tnp
United States with the Republic
should not create a feeling OF over
confidence. Trade with European
countries shows a constant increase
much larger in proportion than tna'
accredited to the United States. Fo'
comparison, the following gains toi
the fiscal year 1907 over 1906 are
noted: Germany, S1.S72,7Ss;
Great Britain. $1.69s,S67; France
$728.307; United States, $415,SO6
The nations of Europe are certalnb

from the United States into Mexico
are coal. lumber. gunpowder, manu-

PROMISING MINING PROPERTIES
The Molly Bond Group Considered
Best in District

P. j. Walsh, one of the owners of
the Molly Bond group OF quartz
claims and a placer miner of the
Pierce district is a business visitor
in the city en- route to Portland.
The Molly Bond group is consid
cred one of the most promising prop
critics in the district, and it was the
gold contained in its lodges that
caused Joaquin Miller to spend
months in working the rich placers
located in that vicinity in search
for the rich lodges from which the
gold came.
While working the placers the
famous poet erected cabin, and be-
meath this cabin passes the rich
quartz vein for which he had search
ed. The discovery was made by Mr..
Walsh while working the Miller
placer diggings, and samples of ore
have been taken out that carry gold
to the amount of $500 per ton.
Mr. Walsh has been engaged in
mining in the Pierce district fol
several years, and in operating th'
placer property has installed a ny
draulic elevator which has proven
very successful in extracting the val
ues from the placer ground.

USE HORSES AS
TRANSM|TTERS
A NEW INVENTION UTILITIES
WALKING TELEPHONES, LOAD
ING EQUIPMENT ON HORSES
BATTERY IN SADDLE PADS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-The
horse, always a heroic figure In war
pictures and in tales of mighty bat
ties, is to be utilized in still another
manner upon the field of battle as
the result of an invention by Lieu
tenant A. c. Knowles OF the United
States signal corps.
Under this new system a horse
becomes peripatetic geld telephone
and Immediately available for COM
munication with the headquarters
of the army in the field or any base
of operations with which quick COM
munication is desired The plan
proposed contemplates the equip
ment of each mounted courier carry
ing messages from headquarters to
corps in the fields with a light cleo
trio battery, weighing about five
pounds.
This battery is carried in the sad
die pads. When communication with
headquarters is desired, the man in
the saddle unsheaths a light wire.
This wire attached to the battery is
then placed in contact with the
body of the horse. The current thus
conveyed to the horses body and ac-
centuated, if possible, by wet sad
dIo cloth ic trapcmi tfad fhrnuob tho
steel plates on the horses hoofs to
the ground and thus a ground con-
duction is made. The man in the
saddle unhooks the receiver and
transmitter and promptly is in COM
munication with the staff headquar-
tiers. The officers of the signal corps
think this invention will revolution
ize and facilitate field movements
Heretofore messages had to be sent
from headquarters by courier and
their delivery assumed. Couriers,
however, are sometimes killed and
often captured. This invention will
enable a courier to report the deliv-
cry of a message SO the general in
, command will know that his orders
are to be obeyed.
Sometimes battles are lost and
moves frustrated by failures to de-
! liver orders. Messages can, OF
course, be sent from headquarters
over the telegraph lines as fast as
they have been completed by the sig
nal corps, but there are many places
in the Acid which the lines do not
reach. At such places, or any other
place, the problem is solved by the
signal man or cavalry man adjusting
piece of wire to an instrument IN
his pocket, letting the wire touch
the flesh of the horse and instan
taneOusly the connection is made
with the telephone at the base Of op
erations. The operator on horse
back, in order to let the current flow
freely, attaches piece of wet clotl
to the body of the horse by means o
the saddle girth. Equipped in tina
fashion the troopers can at any plac,
in the field, at rest or moving, "call'
headquarters, report what Is goini
on and receive orders for immediat
transmission to the front Major G
o. Squires, who is in charge of tn
signal corps work at Fort Leaven
worth, is now in Washington actin
as Chief signal officer. He said to
day that the experiments had prove
successful and that this method c
communication is not known t
other armies

BIG SHOW COMING.
A Fine Menagerie.

The Sells-Floto Shows immense
collection Of fine and costly animals
in the menagerie Is worthy OF visit.
The group OF bears from all over the
world, particularly the polar bears,
create much interess.
Bears are nowhere very numerous,
each pair or family occupying
district and keeping fairly we'll to
itself. When, as frequently happens
three or four are seen together,
they are likely to be old and young
OF the same family. Their home is
usually some cave or crevice In the
rocks, a hollow tree or dense
thicket. There, in the early spring
are born the young, usually two,
sometimes four, and, In the case OF
the arctic species, this often happens
under the snow, before the female is
released from her Information. The
young remain with their mother un-
til full grown, and when they are
little she guards and controls them
with great solicitude, and will rush
at an intruder.
At other times bears are rather
shy and will usually endeayor to re-
treat, yet when brought to bay, fight
with great courage and are among
the most dangerous animals man can
encounter. They can be easily tanned
remain friendly and prove intelligent
and docile to a limited extent. They
submit we'll to confinement, endure
change Of climate and breed readily
in captivity.
The Polar bear of the Arctic re-
gions has an elongated body, pointed
head. cream-like coat and is quite I'M
like any other bear In features.
These bears are numerous through
out the icy circumpolar regions
Large specimens are nine feet in
length and have enormous strength.
They wonder a vast distance from the
coast-sometimes swimming many
miles. They often winter and their

BOY VICTIM
OF RATHER
Roland Hill Bitten at TasCOSa
Yesterday Dies Here
Today

After twenty hours OF suffering
from the bite OF a rattlesnake, Ro-
land Hill, the 10 year old son OF Mr..
and Mrs. II. NJ. Hill, OF this city. died
this afternoon at o'clock at the
residence OF Mr., and Mrs. G. NJ. sni-
der, III Johnson street. The boys
mother was with him at his death but
his father who has been away for
several months will not reach here
before tomorrow.
Yesterday afternoon about 5
O'Clock, the boy, in company with a
young man on the ranch near Tas-
cosa, where he has been staying for
several weeks, was walking in some
tall grass when he aroused a rattle
snake which sank its fangs in the
fore part OF his leg just above his
ankle. He Immediately cried for help
and the young man who was with
him made deep cross inclslon on
the boys leg with his knife TO get the
blood vessels to brow off as much
OF tie poison as possible. He then
got the boy to the ranch house as
soon as possible where every possible
effort was made with the remedies
at hand to check the deadly work
of the poison. Unfortunately the
bite .of the serpent had thrown the
poison directly in to the blood yes
sells and furthermore the dncisions
made in the boys leg had severed
an artery. This caused heavy loss
of blood which weakened the patient.
Through the night the people at
the ranch continued to treat the
wound and we're unable to get the
assistance OF a physician till this
morning when they brought the boy
here on the morning Denver. BY
that time the poison had blackened
the flesh of the injured limb and
had caused It to swell TO almost
double its normal size. Drs. vlnyard
and Roscoe we're at once called and
for the next few hours exerted every
possible effort to Iget the victim
from the grip of the poison. The
patient was never wholly conscious
and in his weakened condition the
physicians we're unable to rally him.
Roland Hill was the son OF Mr..
and Mrs. H, NJ. Hill, OF this city, and
had lived here for several years. He
was bright and promising young
ster with all good spirits that
