NO CAUSE FORALARM
LESLIE N. SHAW SAYS PROS
PERITY WILL CONTINUE.
Crops All Risht-Mines and Forests
Yield Products Worth Billions Of
DoIIars-No Factories Are Idie-h
the People Want Continuance Of
Era of AffIuence, They May Have it

Leslie NJ. Shaw, former secretary
of the treasury, has authorized the fol-
lowing interview on the present fnan-
cial and industrial conditions:
Our farms produce more than
$500 100000 per annum and the pros
peet is good for an average crop. Our
mines yield more than $1,500,000, 900
and our forests more than $1,000 OO,-
900, and none of these sources of
wealth has been exhausted The out
put of our factories, in other than
food products, totals $4,000, 900 900,
and no fires have been extinguished.
The railways. earn more than $4,000
100000 and they are all in successful
operation. The payroll of our factories
and railways aggregate approximately
SO, $780, 900 900 and the scales of wages
have not been reduced.
I'm other words, the real sources of
the peoples wealth have not yet been
affected and the ability of Industrial
concerns to pay dividends is not
measured by the market price of their
stock.
Logical reasons for serious condt
tons are never wanting. IL I
Judge correctly the people will have
exactly what they expect If those
who have money in the banks with
draw it and lock it up, if the banks
refuse to grant accommodations, and
If the consuming public decline to
place orders then we will very soon
witness the effects.
Let those who think that times Of
disaster follow each other at regular
intervals bear in mind that this coun-
| try never yet experienced a period Of
depression that was not traceable to
financial or economic agitation or leg
islation, and usually to both In 1898

Gated by the party in power which

not be touched for at least Is months
Some check in the speed at which we
are going is most desirable, and the

retardment in our industries. Capita

INDIANS WOULD wREC~ TRAP
Drive Posts Across Track for Being
Put OFF Engine.

An attempt WIS made recently to
wreck a passenger train on the ella
Valley railroad. Large posts were
driven upright across the track near
San Carlos on the Indian reservation
The engineer did not see the posts
until it was too late to stop the train
50 dashed at them full speed, striking
them with such velocity that they
were hurled out of the right of way
without ~erailing the engine.
Railroad men believe the attempt to
wreck the train was a plot for re-
venge on the part Of Apaches who had
been ordered from the train by the
engineer while riding on the engine
tender, according to their custom with
trains crossing the reservation.

COULD USE THE ROAD.
Irish Soldiers Great Idea When Cover
Was Badly Needed.

The following colloquy is said TO
have actually occurred during one ot
the earlier battles in the Philippines:
A detachment OF American infantry,
under orders to support section oil
Capt. Reilly's battery, were halted for
quite a while on perfectly fiat mill
tary road In full view and fine range
of the Filipino trenches. or course, to
lie fiat on the road was the only avail
able use OF cover.
In this detachment was an lrishman
who had served his time with the col
ors in the British army before he en-
listed with Uncle Sam. As n recruit
he had been very prone to tell how the
British soldiers did everything. As a
result he was necessarily piled with
questions as to his experiences. While
the bullets were ''plopping" down the
road and kicking up the gravel, n
young Yankee suddenly asked:
Say. Mike, what do the British sol
diers do with their heads in a place
like this?"
Quick as flash came the retort:
"a British soldier has no head,
SORT"
After a full two.minute pause. Mike
continued:
However. be that as 1t may, wish

RANKS NAvlss OF THE WORLD
Report Puts England First and Amer

Washington.-An interesting state
ment showing the relative order OF
warship tonnage of the principal pow
ers has been compiled at the Office of
naval intelligence. which is intended
as an answer to frequent inquiries of
societies and persons throughout the
country. who have manifested an in.
terest in the maintenance of the navy
and its relative strength and impor-
lance.
The statement shows that according
to the tonnage of to-day Great Britain
leads the world with a tonnage OF
1,633.116 the United States following
with n tonnage of 611,6i6. France third
with tonnage Of 609.079. Germany
fourth with a tonnage of 529,032
Japan next with tonnage of 3I4.10l
and Russia. Italy and Austria follow
ing in the order named.
However, were the war vessel!

completed. the United States would b.
third in the list with tonnage of I'll
1853, following closely France. whicl
would be second with tonnage o
S36,112 and Great Britain the leade
with a tonnage of 1,s21.610. The othe
naval powers would stand in the sam
relative position as they do with thei
tonnage OF to-day, although eacl
would show very substantial in

talking on music in general and on

every man wants to do something
out of his line" said the druggist.

Ger. Now, I'm n grocer, but I've al

When you enter shop state just
what you want. For then the mer-
chant can go intelligently to work to
sell you something else. The great
law of commerce is to sell people
what they don't want. What they do
