ported the American machine.
The exports to foreign countries
of North America increased from
ST. sol in 1902 to $685., 609 in 1905,
nearly ninefold. In 1905 nearly two
thirds of this value went to Canada,
which stood next to the united king
dom among all foreign countries in
imports of the American-made ma
chine. In 1905 the exports to Mex
leo amounted to s119,9S6; Cuba, $780,
53s; Asia, $12O,2e4; oceania, s1o,-
AGA; South America, $S1,36S; and
Africa SCI ,127. The total number
of countries importing the American
product in 1905 was fffty-three. The
1905 census of the manufacture Of
bicycles and tricycles disclosed great
decreases since 1900 The number
of factories declined from s29, 1885,
$50 to $3.50, 45s; the number of wage
earners from 17,525 to 1913, and the
value of products from $31 ,o15, 90S ts
S5,153,240 Many establishments that
manufactured only bicycles in 1909
were, at the later census, engaged
principally or to some extent in the
manufacture of automobiles.
The high tide of prosperity in the
bicycle was reached about 1897, and
in 1900 the manufacture had already
largely fallen of.
The number of chain bicycles turn
ed out declined from 1,136,122 in 1900
to 246,304 at the census of 1905;
chainless from 1929 to 4,077, and
tricyc'9s from 26.110 to 1853. The
tricycles were almost entirely child
ren's toys Motorcycles increased
from 159 to 2,436.

MoToR-BoAT FISHING.
Inhabitants of Iceland Discardine Old
Kind of Sea Craft.

Consul B. S. Rasmussen of Stavanger
furnishes the following translation
from a Norwegian newspaper, supple
menting reports that Iceland fisher
men were adopting motor boats:
A complete revolution Of the fisher
les in Iceland is near at hand Both
the open boats and the sailing cutters
disappear as fast as they are worn out.
No new purchases of these are now
ID ., made. In the future fishing VIII
be Cone almost exclusively with motor
boats and steam trawlers. which give
many times better results and do not
require SO large a crew. During the
last two or three seasons there has
been expended nearly $250,0O0 for
motor boats anu they have given such
good results that there are instances
where a boat in the course OF five
months earned double its alue, be-
sides giving its master and crew an
income equal to a well-paid officials
salary for the whole year.
At Westmanna islands there were
only two motor boats in 1905 and they
gave 50 much better results than other
boats that they have now purchased
thirteen new ones for about $4,000.
But the trawlers have given still
better results A small trawler, own
ed by 4 company in Havenfiord, during
1906 earned enormous profits, which
has led TO the organization of two
new travelling companies in Reg kjavik.
one Of which Is having trawler bull
in England Whine the other, with
capital of 10000 kroners (S26,So0l is

This Is only a small beginning. Pur
Chases .of new trawlers will in the
near future increase so RAPIDLY that in
the course of five or ten years it win
be possible to create a good-sized ice
laudic trawling fleet. The main
hln3Iance. of course, is the lack Of
home capital. but this IS not insur
lhounable when the people first learn
to unite.

 Ala:
 My Dear Comrade--T regret exceed lngly that 1t has been impossible for me to be with you and your division at your annual reunion, November 13- 14, but permit me. through you. to ex- tend to our comrades in reunion as- sembled. my best wishes for the suc- cess end uphuilding of your organi- ration in the State of Alabama, and to impress upon them the fact that the time has now come for all sons of Confederate soldiers to take upon themselves the development of this fair Southland, and to show to present day generations and to posterity that thereare no degenerates il. our ranks, and that we are worthy sons of wor- thy sires, and that we are fully equip- red and capable of bringing this coun- try of ours to that state of perfec> tion to which it is justly entitled.
 Permit me also to say through. .sYou at this time, that feel that the com mercialism, which pervades the coun- try from one end to the other. will never eclipse the sentiments that &C., tuated our forefathers and that we will always be loyal to our traditions and that these traditions will be hand ed down by us unblemished and untar- nished.
 Tt is regretabIe, indeed, to notice at this time, when the South is just beginning to bloom like rose, with all of It's latent resources just being developed, it's timbers, it's minerals. its farm products. it's manufactures, it's furnaces and all it's insututions in a fiourishing condition. in fact more so than any other section of the Unit ed States, and yet at this time it is retarded by the actions either of stock gamblers or politicians: and now that this unlocked for panic is upon us, it seems 10 me that tHS SOuB OI tue SOuTH should strive more eagerly to prevent the panic from operating to our det- riment, and that the march of prosper ity should go on unimpeded.
 T desire to extend my greetings to you in convention assembled and may the God of hosts bless your meetings and your deliberations. Trusting that I may in the near future have the pleasure of meeting all of the Ala

IS GREATLY PLEASED
COMMANDER OF SONS TALKS OF
 LAST WEEKS REUNION.
Captain Sexton Depiores the Passing of the Heroes Who Wore the Grey Two Related Letters
 Given Ont.

Captain A. C. Sexton. commander of the Sons of Veterans of the Alabama Division. U. s. c, ". in speaking of the reunion of the past week. had many pleasant things to say of his experi- ences and observations upon the oeca- sion.
 The reunion.' he says. was in every way great pleasure and pronounced success. both to Veterans and Sons, but the passing of 1t is sad to those who are really and truly in sympathy with the spirit of the event.
 Tt was pleasant and successful be- cause of the congenial intermingling of those whose hearts. minds and souls are in full accord upon the circum- stances which make this gathering one of the most significant events of the year, and sad because of the fact that each successive reunion marks de- crease in the ranks of the old, true and tried, loyal and devoted, noble, brave and chivafric patriots who stood upon their rights and maintained their posi- ton In the face of overwhelming ob- stacies. and whom we have the distin- guished honor to call our fathers.
 No other country has a similar oc- casion or one of so much significance. We of this delightful city, our home, will not say that we have afforded our guests more pleasure than they have had at the hands of our sister cities, but it is indeed most gratifying to us that we have heard nothing but praise and expressions of approval of the, treatment accorded the Veterans and Sons and the fair visitors from those who were within our gates during the reunion. Many in fact remained over q day and some are still in the city and will make unwilling departures.
 The reunion was a success because the local committee. with the invalua- ble assistance of the citizens and the newspapers of the city, determined that 1t should be so, and a greater success by reason of the loyal support of Vet erans and Sons and the press of the State generally.
 ''To make the very utmost of such an occasion the assistance of the good women Is absolutely indispensable. and never was there a time when mothers, daughters, sisters, wives and sweet hearts by their presence and co-opera- ton contributed more in every way than at this years reunion.
 Many touching scenes were in evi- dence, such as move strong mems hearts, many pathetic instances. such as make men better for having seen them were witnessed and a man Is bound to be a better and more loyal citizen, to his neighborss his communi- ty. his State, and his country for com ing in contact with the unconquerable aud patriotic spirit of the heroes of the sixties.
 "The attendance may not be said to have been unusually large. but for real reunion objects and purposes feel quite sure that we have every reason to congratulate ourselves upon the fact that this reunion has not been ex- celled.'

ONLY A SCARECROW GOOD J~KE PLAYED ON CORONER

 To Hold an Inquest. eh

Girard, Nov. Especial )--Findins what they supposed to be the corpse of a man while hunting west of the city, two young boys hurried to town with the exciting news.
 The coroner was notified. and sum- moning a jury of tried and true Cir ard citizens went to the scene, guided by the excited youngsters, to hold an inquest. The net result of the expedt- tion was q joke on the entire party. for what they boys had supposed to be a corpse was a remarkably we'll made scarecrow. that after having done it's duty faithfully throughout the crop season, had laid down peacefully in a furrow and died.
 The scarecrow was such a close imi tation of a man that it had deceived the frightened boys.
