GROWING AND EXPORTING INDIAN JU7E

The following report. covering thu
exports of jute and jute manufactures
from British India and the wages ant
conditions OF the jute-mill operatives
is furnished by Consul General VIII
liam II. Michael of Calcutta:
Practically all the jute exported
from India passes through the port
OF Calcutta. During the calendar
year 1906 the value OF jute and jute
manufactures declared at this con-
sulate-general for export to the
United States was s3O,709.426, viz:
Gunny bags. s2,o4O,234; gunny cloth,
s1s,SS1.7O7; 1ute (raw). s5,715.92o;
and jute butts and reflections. s3,-
O71,565.
The Commercial Intelligence de-
partment, in its returns showing the
sea-borne trade of British India for
the year 1906, gives the exports from
Calcutta to the United States as fol-
lows: Gunny bags, 13,O79,60O, val
ued at s7ls,33O; gunny cloth, 4s2,-
7S5,420 yards, valued at S17,32S,930;
raw jute. 24S.4O6.256 pounds, valued
at s9.39O,OO5; total s27,43S,265, or
$3,271,161 less than the figures re-
corded in the consulate general,
which are based on the invoices COW
cring all jute and jute manufactures
shipped from Calcutta to the United
States, and must be accepted as cor
rect.
The people OF mill. or several
mills are nearly located together, oc-
cupy a village, which is made up of
huts made of mud, bricks, and palm
leaves woven into sheets and tackled
onto bamboo poles All are matched
with a long tough grass used through
out India for covering huts and
bungalows, and which make Il tight,
cool and durable roof.
The floor is made of clay tamped
down hard, which makes a very good
floor. On this floor is spread in
places mating made of bamboo
grass. On this mating many of the
natives throw down a cotton blanket,
or possibly thin mattress. for beds.
Some have rude bed made of four
posts 16 inches high, with cross
head and side pieces pinned together
and then erisscrossed With bed cords.
There may be a few rude benches,
but little or no other furniture is to
be seen in the huts. The natives eat
on the floor, squatted around a pot
or pan containing the food. The men
and boys eat first and the women and
girls afterwards, taking what is left.
The mode OF life is thoroughly primi-
tive.
No knives, spoons or forks are used

In eating, the fingers answering all
purposes. Each Indian is ambitious
to own a brass jug or pot, and these
brasses are handed down as heir
looms and are held as almost a sacred
possession. They are kept bright by
securing them with mud and water.

been used in any way are taken out

What the United States Pays for Jute.
1t might be well to consider the
fact that we are sending to India
S2l,921,941 annually for bags and
cloth that might be made at home
We are receiving articles that are
made by the cheapest paid labor on
earth, and which could be made by
mill labor in the United States. We
are buying sS,7S7,4s5 worth OF raw
jute annually and manufacturing it
into cloth. Why not buy as much
raw jute as we need and manufac-
ture it into cloth and bags? This
would give additional employment to
our own people and kept the profits
at home.
1t would be still better to encour-
age the growth of ramie on the lands
going to waste in the Philippines.
where that fiber can be successfully
cultivater. Thus we would be abso-

Since the process of cheaply degum-
ming ramie has been discovered there
seems TO be no longer any excuse for
holding back in the cultivation of
ramie on an extensive scale.

! William E. Curtis, the fascinating
writer of the Chicago Record Herald
gives the following interesting ac-
count Of Hartford, the home Of in
ventors:
The records Of the patent office at
Washington show that more than Is
per cent of the applications for pat
ents come from the state of Connecti-
cut which means that Yankee genius
has been developed here to a greater
degree than in any other part of this
enterprising country and Hartford
has large share.
The factories here are full of in
genious men who are continually de-
vising improvements upon the ma
chinery with which they are working.
They are smart enough to see where
they can add to its capacity and in
crease its products or the economy
of its operation. II would be a big
book that contained descriptions of
all the original Hartford inventions.
and a new edition would be needed
every year. like the city directory, for
each mail that leaves for Washington
carries applications for patents. The
wooden nutmeg period has passed.
The people are too busy these days
making genuine articles of usefulness
to waste their time on fakes.
The first wooden mill in America
was started here in 1888, and George
Washington delivered his first inaug-
ural address in a suit made from its
cloth.
The first cast iron plow in the
United States was made in 1920 by
Alpheus and Truman Hanks, whose
small foundry has since grown into
one OF the biggest machine shops in
America. They built the engine of
the Kearsarge which sank the cruiser
Alabama.
In 1884 Levi Lincoln invented a ma
chine to card wool with wire teeth by
which he ruined a great domestic in
Gustry. Mr.. Lincoln also invented a
machine to make hooks and eyes, and
another to punch holes in buttons.
which turned out to be a very profita-
BILE idea.
John Fitch, who lived little way
north of here, undoubtedly developed
the steamboat before Robert Fulton
made success of It, but lacked the
capital or the gumption TO secure the

ufactured them here.
Apollos Kinsley invented a machine
to press brick instead of shaping them
by hand.
James Hills of Hartford, invented
the lawn mower. He called it the
'Archimedean," which shows that he
had his head in the air even If the
machine was on the ground.
The woven wire mattress was first
produced in Hartford, but cannot
find the name of the inventor.
Samuel Colt, Hartford boy of 16,
nvented ths revolver while he was on

'ectively by the Texans in their strug-
lie for independence and by General
Iackson's troops while fighting Semi

MORNING

The cattlemen had to fight fu-
 mountain feed and little did they ob-
 tain until the national forests were
 established and the Department of ! the Inerior gave out the orders that
 no sheep were to be allowed in the Sierra National Forest; but it was one thing to issue these orders and
 quite another to enforce them.
 The work of keeping the flocks of
 sheep out feil to the forest rangers,
 who had their hands fall from 1901 to
 1906. Court decisions, however. were sSI sS a s time against tire ruling oI the Department of the Interior, so that
 the sheepmen were in a way, encour- aged in their preserving disregard of
 the national forest regulations. At
 last, however, the backbone of this
 illicit industry is broken. Court de-
 cisions are upholding the rangers in
 their work and serious trouble is
 rarely met with.
 It was not until 1902 that drastic
 methods were taken by the rangers to enforce the regulations. Before that
 time the rangers would occasionally drive the sheepmen out, but they
 would go right back in again. and 1t was impossible to keep them out side the forest borders.
 The first good light between the rangers and Basque sheep herders took place in the Black Rocks, about twenty miles north of Independence George Naylor. then a ranger on this part of the Sierra National Forest received orders to keep the sheep out and was determined to do so. Nay Tor was the sort of man who general ly did what he set out to do. The day of this particular fight he traced a flock of sheep to an old sheep cor ral and found the sheepmen doctoring their sheep before starting for the meadows at the head of Kings river
 The owner was a big, 200-pound Basque, with a hard name and a mean disposition, willing to do any thing to get feed for his "sheeps." A | young cattleman by the name of Nor man Mairs was with NayloT. Naylor the Basque to get his sheep 1 out of the forest. It was "rD GnuCT- stand Englis" it first. hu. when N3y- Tor insisted he understood veil ] enough. but would not budge kisI sheep.
 The corral was built of dry sage brush. which would burn as if coal oil had been poured upon it. In spite of l the fact that the owner and two herd CTS stood ready with rifles to keep him off. NaylOr slipped quietly off his horse and showed a dry branch of the sage brush into he fire which was heating the sheep dip. "a a tlasE thc corral was ablaZe in a dozen places. The BasGues found no tim 10 quarrel with Naylor. but rushed ar0Il1 "urs- ing and wav.dg their coats gettinS the sheen out of the coral. When once they were out and sta ''.e... Nay Tor took good care to keep them going and had them beyond the forest bOr- 1ers in short order.
 It was the summer of 1903 that Nay Tor. Grant Clark and Henry Bell had the big fight on Magee creek back of Long Valley On this occasion they found about five bands of sheep in side the forest. and ordered the herd CTS to vacate, but they were in force

FOREST RESERVE ENDS RANGE
 WARS
Government System That Keeps Sheep Out and Lets Cattle in Solves the Long standing Feud on Ranges

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Il.-In the
 old days of the Sierra Nevada mount
 asns, before any forest reserves. or
 national forests. as they are now
 called. existed, there flourished an in.
 dustry in Eastern California from
 Bakersfield to Lake Tahoe which was detrimental to home building and per manent stock raising. This was the
 immigrant or transient sheep busi- ness.
 Up to within five years ago some thing like five hundred thousand sheep used to leave the pastures around Bakersfield every year. about March 1, after the lambing season, and infest the mountain ranges from Monache Meadows to Lake Tahoe. These sheep were driven in flocks of from two thousand to three thousand each and were principally owned by Spanish and French Basques, Portu- guese and Frenchmen. who were most ly aliens and who owned no land and avoided paying taxes when possible. Some of the flocks were owned by business men of Bakersfield. who had Basque and French foremen to run them.
 They would cross the Sierra early in the year by way of Tehachapi and Walkers Pass. In good seasons the former pass was used the most and in dry seasons the latter. Crossing at Tehachapi. they would spend about two months on the MOjaye desert and as the feed dried up they would work their way north and arrive at Owens Lake about April 9. Crossing then by way of Walkers Pass, they would enter the Owens Valley at blanche and work north from there.
 From April 25 to June 10 not day would pass without several flOcks of sheep coming in sight and the owners and foremen's wagons would drive the towns of Owens Valley. After June 10 it became too hot and dry for the sheep in the valleys and they would work back into the mount aims. but before they had left the valley there was no feed left for any local stock outside the patented lands, and often they would even go into an al falfa field at night when feed was short and steal nights grazing from the farmers. This was not an occa- siOnal. but a frequent occurrence
Bisbee daily review., 1907-10-12

and refused. 4 Frenchman, Louis Gt
 rard, informed Naylor that he had two
 hundred rounds of ammunition and would not budge until it was gone. Grant Clark began to expostulate
 with him, meanwhile edging closer
 until he was near enough to make a grab for the rifle which Grand had | ready to use on the first man who
 would touch his sheep. TbeIe was a scuffle and rifle shot, Clark seem ed to be getting the worst of it. Nay
 Tor. believing that his fellow ranger would De snOI, drew ms pistol and fired three times, wounding the Frenchman, who dropped his weapon and ran down the meadow.
 The FFenchman was unable to escape and was taken to Bishop to a doctor.
 ,ue rangers got back to Magee Creek the sheep were all out of the forest.
 This fight did a great deal of good. It showed the sheepmen that the rangers meant business and were not afraid to use their firearms If the oc- casiOn demanded it. The wholesome awe that 1t bred among the sheep herders probably saved the lives of rangers and herders for some years thereafter. Girand was we'll again in couple of months but he never attempted to take sheep into the Sierra National Forest again. Of course. the fight caused consternation on both sides. The forest officials sent out orders that rangers were not to use force. but were to withdraw and report if sheepmen refused to leave the forest. NayloF was disgust ed with these orders and resigned, never to go back on the force. He was exonerated by the grand jury of Mono county the next summer
 There was no more fighting until the next season, when Charles H. Shinn was appointed head ranger of the Sierra forest reserve, northern division. as it was called in those days. He took a trip over into Mono and InyO counties. and gave orders to his men to scatter any bands of sheep found on the forest That summer several bands were found and scat tered, and tine mOuntaineers, coyotes and bears had a good living for a short time.
 The following winter it was decid- ed by the ranger force under Shinn and Superintendent Newhall that dur ing the next season they would keep the sheep out. They came very near doing t, too. Ranger Bigelow was in charge of the east side district. | With him were Rangers John Gallo way, Henry Bell and Gus Goodale. all l good and tried men. Things ran smoothly al first and the bands com ing up the Owens valley in April went | through without a trespass.

some time since, they have planned to give a series of monthly balls with the laudable, object in view of erecting a number of tanks in various parts of the city to the end that they may at all times have an adequate supply of water, and ample pressure to throw water to any building in the city linn it's.
 The first of the series of dances will be given on the 21st of October in the old opera house and preparations are being made that will make it an event at which any citizen of the town can attend with pleasure.
