THE NATIONAL TAILOR.
Also Dressmaker - Also Haberdasher
New York Is All Three.

The interesting fact has been
brought to light that the most i'm
portant industry In the State OF New
York Is the making of womens
clothes. Until recently the making of
mems clothes had the leading posi-
tion, but dressmaking has moved to
the top.
The output of these two industries
during the past year was valued at
$340, 900. 900, which is within SIS, 900. 900
of the total value OF all the products
OF the steel works and rolling mills
Of Pennsylvania
Nearly 10000 people live upon the
making of women's clothing and 3d.
600 more are engaged In making
clothes for men. Out OF every hun
dred people who work in the industri-
al pursuits of New York State fifteen
are engaged in making clothes for
men and women. Nearly s62,OJO,y,v
was paid out TO these workers In one
year.
New York is the national dress
maker, tailor and haberdasher. Out
of every 500 worth OF clothing made
for women In one year this state pro-
duced $40 worth. In collars and cuf1s
for men New York manufactured near
ly 81 per cent. Of the entire output
of the nation.
1T may be noted" says The Worlds
Work, that the value OF mems fur
nishings has fallen behind, as COM
pared with 1900. 1t leads to a suspic-
ion that mere man. II married. Is

are shaped like cigar and are OF
enormous size.
The timber is cut In Washington
and Oregon. and until recently was
shipped to central and southern Cali
fornia In sailing vessels and steam
barges. The expense and the limited
capacity of these vessels led to the
designing OF the sea RATS.
While they are of different sizes
the smallest usually contains at least
5000 pieces Of timber, ranging from
so to 100 feet in length and from s
inches to nearly 2 feet In diameter
at the butt. Consequently some OF
the RATS made in this peculiar fash
ion are nearly as long as the largest
transatlantic liners. measuring no
less than $50 feet from end to end.
SO compactly are the poles arrang-
ed, says writer In the Southwest.

To move this mwieldly bulk two
powerful steamers are usuany emf
ployed at sea. one for pulling directly
ahead and the other to aid in keep
ing the raft in the right course. es-
pecially in rough weather. But
comparatively small portion OF the
surface is exposed to the seas. Other
wise it would be impossible to trans
port the timber In this form.
On the other hand the depth in the
water allows only very slow rate
of speed to be maintained. The av-
erage rate of speed between the
Columbia River and San Francisco

fifteen days. according to the wealth
er.
The Columbia River RATS are put
together at a town called Stella,
which Is located in the lumber country
about forty miles from the mouth OF
the river. These RATS are the larg-
est which have yet been transport
ed down the Coast.
One which was sent to San Fran
cisco contained no less than 10000
linear feet of lumber to be used for
wharf piling. III the piles which Is
contained were stretched in a row
they would actually extend a dis
lance OF nearly fifteen miles.
The majority of these rats have
been safely taken to their destina-
tions, although one or two nave gone

/ olSlcI states are taxing almost ao
much interest in Mississippi's sena-

in every instance the hope is ex-
pressed that Williams will be sent
to the senate. The following from
the Nashville American is fair
sample of L t outsiders are having
to say about L. latter:
us Mississippi z &C make the
colossal mistake of varda-
man instead Of John SRap >;lliams
to the United States Senates What
are the southern people thinking
about when they set aside their
ablest public men for men their in
tellectual interiors; Was there
ever a time when the south was in
greater need Of men at Washington
ut is nonsense to talk about a
southern man for president when
we do not ourselves honor our ablest
me- We can never impress the
y with our foresight and dis
nation by sending firebrands
Al keaklings to Washington and
'leav men Of real merit at home.
In g. y sense Of the word John.
Sharp Williams is abetter man than
Governor Vardaman. He is intel.
.lectually his superior. He has a
broader vision. He can do more for
his state and nation. Then why
turn him down. Because other
states have weakened themselves
In the senate, is all the more reason
why Mississippi should not do so.
If the south puts its best in public
station, the balance of the country
will eventually take notice.
Selecting senators and repre-
sentatives on sensational grounds
is an evidence Of lack Of capacity
for popular government. In the
present disordered condition of the
democratic party little can be ex-
pected from the north and east.
There is little chance of the election
OF Democratic senator's outside of
the south. It, therefore, bebooves,
us to name our best whenever the
opportunity arises" ."-Nashville
American.
The Nashville American is cor
rect. Because Tennessee swapped
Ed Carmack for Bob Taylor; Ar
kansas, Senator Berry for Jeff Da-
Wis, and Kentucky, McCreary for
Beckham, is no reason for thinking
that Mississippi is going to retire
Williams to promote Vardaman.
Mississippi may have made some
blunders in the past, but she is not
going to make such a fatal one as
that would be.-Yazoo Herald.
