AMERICAN MANUFACTURES.
Iron and Steel Exports Larger Than
Ever Before.

Washington. - The expectation of
iron and steel manufactures reached
their highest record during the last
year, according to figures compiled by
the Bureau of Statistics of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor. The
total for 1906 aggregated S172 100000,
an increase of 100000 over the pre-
ceding year.
Practically every one of the impor-
tan. articles or groups of articles share
in this gain. Pig iron shows an in
crease of 81 100000; bar iron an in
crease of one and one-third millions:
steel rails 81, 500, 900; steel sheets and
plates s1,250,000; structural iron and
steel nearly $4,000, 900; wire s1,750,O00
builders hardware nearly s2,000,000;
locomotives nearly $2,000,000; sewing
machines nearly s1,500000; metal
work machinery more than S2,000,000;
mining machinery more than $4,000
900; typewriters, 100000; printing
presses, more than s50O,OO0,0O0, and
bar iron an increase of more than ST.

STocKMEN DISAGREE.
Cattlemen Favor and Sheepmen Op
pose Leasing System.

Washington. - The visiting stock
men Monday morning went over the
whole question before the Public
Lands Commission meeting being pre-
sided over by Land Commissioner
Richards.
The afternoon was devoted by the
Senate committee on agriculture to
hearing individual opinions of stock
men and the reading and discussion OF
the letter of President Roosevelt to
Senator Warren.
All of the cattle men attending these
meetings favored a system of leasing
and range control, while nearly all OF
the sheepmen opposed it and urged
tina. conditions be allowed to remain
as they are.
They contended that leasing laws
would prevent the country from being
settled up by homesteaders and that
the growth and development of the
West would be retarded by tieing up
large areas. They contended also that
too much power would be placed in
the hands of the secretary of agricul-
ture If the remaining 100000 acres of
grazing lands of the West were placed
absolutely in his control, as they ar
gued the proposed amendment would
do. All admitted that under the ad-
ministration of Secretary Wilson no
serious evils might come, but insisted
that if the department should fall into
the hands of a secretary like Hitch
cock, hostile to western interests, the
results would be disastrous.

GREELEY GAR SHORTAGE.
Dealers Cannot Ship Potatoes East or
South.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Greeley says: Potato dealers have
practically been forced out of business
because of the shortage of cars, the
lack of shipping facilities being worse
than in the late fall, when every possi-
BILE effort was made to get cars.
The Union Pacific will furnish cars
only to the Pacific coast, where there is
no demand for potatoes. Cars cannot
be obtained to ship into Denver and
there be transferred, as was allowed a
month ago. The 500 or GOO cars owned
by the railroad company are all on the
western coast and will not return in
time to be used for the remainder OF
the potato crop.
The bulk of orders for this district
come from Texas and dealers abso-
lutely refused to quote prices for Texas
points. Now and then car is obtained
from the Colorado & Southern road
and sent to old customers in Texas,
but the supply in no way equals the de
mand Two-thirds of the potatoes have
gone to market. There are $500 to g.
carloads on hand. Farmers are selling
freely and dealers are buying at from
co to so cents hundred, hoping that
later cars may be secured for the crop
marketed.
January 9th dealer shipped car
load of potatoes to Kansas City. The
merchant, after reasonable delay,
wired for information and the car was
found in the Denver yards. 1t reached
Kansas City February I'd, sufficient
time to have shipped 1t to Europe. The
Greeley Commercial Club wired to-day
to General Manager Hohler at Omaha
for immediate relief and has asked the
Legislators from this section to help
alleviate the car shortage.

Denver.-An Arrow dispatch Sun

in attendance is of the opinion tonight
that If no unforeseen complications
set in, he will recover. Ragland, who

could not live longer. Shortly after
that time he rallied and has been i'm

bined with the shock and great loss of
blood, caused great apprehension that
the constable could not recover.

Legal Victory for Gould.

Pueblo.-The Chieftain, commenting
on the decision of the Supreme Court
Of California, says: A protracted and
bitter judicial war between the Gould
and Hartman railroad interests has
Just been won by the Goulds. The
case involved the right of the Western
Pacific to cross the tracks of the
Southern Pacific and build its mole
across the tide line on the Oakland
side OF the bay. The decision of the
Supreme Court grants to Mr.. Gould
the right to acquire such terminals
as may be necessary. This decision is
of great importance to all the territory
tributary to the Denver and Rio
Grande road and especially to Pueblo,

most important centers on the Gould

NEW SUGAR FACTORY.
Berthoud Expects to Have an lndepen
dent Plant.

Denver.-A Berthoud special to the
Republican says: An independent 1,2O0
ton sugar factory will be built in Ber-
thoud to care for next years crop. This
factory is the result of a years work
by a committee of Berthoud men.
Experts sent here from the East
found that northern Colorado was an
ideal spot for growing sugar beets.
They conducted their own investiga-
ton effectively and quietly and their
report to their employers was more
than fiattering.
The site is already purchased and
the acreage offered is greater than
needed. A Denver paper stated to-day
that the Colorado & Southern railway
was behind this factory, but this is not
true. The new factory is assured fair
treatment from the Colorado & South
ern. The silo proposition which dis
turbed conditions in other northern
Colorado sugar districts was not fig
ured in the contract for the new fac
tory, which offers a fat rate of So a
ton for beets, gives five-year. contract
and does. not ask for any part of the
crop to be sliced.

THE FATHERS WORK.
Suggestions Of President Roosevelt to
the Mothers Assembly.

Syracuse, N. Y.-Mrs. e. II. Merrill
of this city, president of the New York
State Mothers Assembly, is in receipt
of a letter from President Roosevelt,
in which he defines the place OF the
father and mother in the home. The
letter was written in response to one
asking suggestions for the council OF
mothers recently held at Newburg,
and the state convention to be held in
the fall.
The President says:
For one of your topics how would
1t do to speak of the place OF the
father in the home? Now and then
people forget that exactly as the
mother must help the breadwinner by
being good housekeeper, so the father
in his turn, II he is worth his salt,
must in every way back up the mother
in helping bring up the children.
After all, the prime duties are ele-
mental and no amount of cultivation,
no amount of business force and sa-
gacity, will make the average man
good citizen unless ne be a good hus-
band and father, and unless he is a
successful breadwinner, is tender and
considerate with his wife and both low
ing and wise (for to believing and weak
and foolish is utterly ruinousJ in deal
ing with the children.
81 think it crime for the woman to
shirk her primary duties to shrink
from being a good wife and mother. or
course, the woman should have the
same right as the man to train her
mind, to better herself; and occasion
ally a woman can and ought to follow
some special vocation in addition to
(never in substitution for) her home
work.
But just as the highest work for
the normal man is work for his wife
and children, so the highest work for
the normal woman is the work of the
home, where, heaven knows, the work
is ample enough.
But / also feel she can do the best
work in her home if she has healthy
outside interests and occupations in
addition, and / most firmly believe
that she cannot do her full duty by
her husband if she occupies merely
servile attitude and that she is quite
as bad mother If weak and foolish
as If hard and unloving."
