After The Powder Trust.

Protest affecting the DUPONT In
ternational Smokeless Powder Com
pany have been made to the President
by delegation representing about
thirty five independent powder con-
Germs, mostly located in Pennsylvania.
1t was asserted that patents to manu-
faeture smokless powder used by the
navy, granted after the expenditure by
the Government of millions of dollars,
had passed into the hands of the So
called "Powder Trust, which gives it
monopoly of furnishing ammunition for
the navy. 1t was asserted that in re-
Spouse to the Governments last pro-
posals all the competing companies
made the same bid, SO cents a pound;
that the powder can easily be made for
81 cents and that the net profit of the
'trust" together with other contracts,
is fully $4,000, 900.
The President suggested that his cal
lers consult the Navy and War Depart
ments and lay the case before Attorney
General Bonaparte. The latter will be
asked to enter a suit in the United
States courts against the alleged trust.
The independent manufactures declar-
ed the profits made from the Govern
ment are used to cut prices against
them.
SENATOR DUPONT's DENIAL.
Senator Henry A. DUPONT made
emphatic denial, on the 25th, of the
charge that he is still the head of the
Powder Trust or that he has any con
nection with the trust.
He called upon the President, and
afterward visited the Secretary of War
and the Secretary of the Navy, and in
formed them all that he has retired
from business.
Mr.. duPont's activity was
due to the complaints made to the
President a few days previous by in
dependent powder manufacturers of
Pennsylvania and elsewhere. DUPONT
wants it understood that if the govern
ment decides to prosecute the trust
the prosecution cannot be directed
against him.
The Senator admitted, however,
that a number of his relatives were still
engaged in the business of manufact-
uring powder.
It is charged by the independents
M careful investigation is made
it will be found that Senator dupont
will derive a large income from the
monopoly the DUPONT and its allied
powder companies have in the manu-
facture of powder for the government.

MANUFACTURED EXPORTS
SOAR TO HIGH VALUES
MARKED INCREASE IN DEMAND
FOR U. 8. COMMODITIES
Growth in Expectation of Goods from
1880 to 1eo7-Value Now Is Sixty
three Million Dollars a
Month

For the completed nine months of the
calendar year the statement of the bu-
reau of statistics shows that there was a
continued growth in our exports of manu-
factured articles. not only in actual vol
ume but in the ratio to the total exports.
They constituted 1888 per cent of all our
exports of the products of domestic in
dustry and amounted to s574, 1000, 900 in val
ue or about 1000 month on the
average The total FOR the fiscal year
ending with June was $40 ZOO. 600, or s62,-
100000 a month. and the ratio to all ex-
notable increase in the proportion in
the first quarter of the current fiscal
year.
The increase since 1880 in the value of
manufactures exported, and in the ra-
ito of these exports to the total, shows a
striking advance. In 1880 the value in
round numbers was $122, 100000. which was
147S per cent of all exports, and the
monthly average was only about SO, 000,-
900. In 1890 the increase was to $179 900, 900.
or monthly average of $4,000, coo, and the
ratio to all exports was q Is per cent; but
in 1900 the value had reached $4S4, 900, 900,
or an average OF S40OO0,O00 month, and
the ratio to the whole volume of exports
had risen to 35.9 per cent. Since then we
have the increase to monthly average of
500, 900, 900 and a ratio to all exports of
nearly A per cent.
The most important class of these ex-
ports is that of iron and steel, and their
value for the last nine months was S146,-
100000 compared with $127,000,0O0 for the
same period last year. This class of ex-
ports never reached so much as $50 0O0, 900
in a full year prior to 1897. During the
nine months of this year the value of
copper exported was s6SOOO,OO0 against
s65 100000 last year; mineral oil, SCI, 100000
against $64,000,000; wood manufactures,
$670OO,0OO against 100000; agricultural
implements, $22O00,OOO against $2O,5OO. .OOO
naval stores. $1700O00O against SIS, 900, ,0OO
This showing for nine months is some
what more favorable than for the month
of September alone, and there are signs
of some change in the drift. The general
tendency, however, is still toward a rela-
tive falling off in the expectation of food
stuffs and raw materials and an increase
In their importation, with an advance in
our exports of the ratio and the variety
of manufactured articles. At the same
time imports of manufactures have kept
on increasing.

MARVELLOUS PRODUCTION
IN THE BIG OIL FIELDS
REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT IN
LOS ANGELES COUNTY
California Petroleum Provides Abun-
dant Cheap FueI-Barrel of Oil at
81 Equal to Coal at Less
Than $4 Ton

The greatly increased production OF
petroleum in Los Angeles county and
Southern California during the past few
years is one of the most remarkable
features of development by corporations
and syndicates.
For more than thirty years petroleum
has been produced on a limited scale in
Los Angeles and Ventura counties, but
it is only within the past few years
that the industry has assumed great
Importance. Today the petroleum In
dustry of Southern California is at
tracing the attention of capitalists
throughout the country.
California petroleum is all produced
in the southern part of the state The
producing sections of the county are in
the northern part of Los Angeles city,
well-defned narrow belt running
across the city in a southwesterly and
northeasterly direction; at Puente,
about twenty miles east of Los An
geles; at Whittier, at Fullerton and at
Newhall, in the northern part of the
county, where some oil of exceptionally
light grade has been developed
Estimates credit the petroleum fields
of the state with a total yield during
1907 of nearly 40,000,000 barrels.
Many million barrels of oil were con-
sumed by the railroads during the past
year; but the railroads by no means
represent the only important consumers.
The refneries now in operation in the
state are handling an immense amount
of crude product in the manufacture of
asphalt lubricants. distillate, coke and
illuminating oil. The largest plant is
that at Point Richmond, owned and op-
Grated by the Standard Oil company. 1t
has a capacity of 1000 barrels day.
The Kern River field is fast becoming
refining center of moment, and the
L. - --l..
of the important refining sections. The
production of asphalt is one of the lead
ing branches of this industry, and other
by-products add materially to the inn
portance of that branch of commerce.
The oil produced in California differs
from that of the eastern states, being
of heavier grade, with an asphaltum
base, and it is used almost exclusively
for fuel. A careful test recently made
with locomotive showed that oil at
81 barrel is equivalent to coal at less
than 81 ton.
1t is evident that the development of
petroleum in California is yet in it's in
fancy. Oil is found throughout the
entire length O. the state, from Mexico
to the Oregon line, although SO far the
most important and profitable develop
ment has been In the southern counties.
There is every reason to believe that
within few years the value of the oil
product will exceed that of the gold
mines Indirectly the oil industry in
Southern California has been of great
benefit to Los Angeles. in stimulating
manufacturing and furnishing large
amount of business to the machine
shops and foundries.
Southern California oil is now ex
ported on large scale to many distant
places. including Arizona, and the rich
gold fields of Southern Nevada, where
it has become almost Indispensable.
