manufactures and cotton by-projucts
amounted to S264, 100000 in 1896. and
they reached 4ss.OOO.o0O in 1906. In
every important item in our cotton
foreign trade there was large gain
in the ten years. The cotton growers
as well as the cotton manufacturers
can see much in those figures to
please them.
There was decline, however, in
1906 as compared win 1905 in cotton
manufactures, the total expectation OF
cotton fabrics of all sorts being $780,
100000 in 1905 and s4S,000.000 in 1906.
The heaviest part of this decline was
in Asia. This was particularly Sc
we're in China and Japan. A large
part of the shrinkage in those two
countries was due to the cessation of
the Manchurian war in 1905. The
war sent the American sales OF cot
ton goods up to high figures in those
two countries. But when peace came
their purchases fell off, and for 1906
the drop was particularly acute. Jap
an is not only using less cotton fabrics
than it did during the destruction
caused by the war, but she is making
for herself many things which she was
compelled IN war times to buy in the
outside world.

BOUQUET FROM VAIL.

New Sharon Star: The Oskaloosa
Herald boys and girls are stepping
in fine mettle these glorious Iowa
spring days, and have a right to cut
all the antics aad capers they may see
fit, for the Herald is now printed on
Duplex perfecting press at the rate
of 100 a minute, comes out neatly
folded ready to be read by any number
of admiring millions. The Herald
was an early conner, was born July 2,
1857, when Oskaloosa was about one
third the size of New Sharon, and the
youagster has been growing larger,
stronger and better every day since.
1t was first printed on Washington
nand press, than hand cylinder was
brought into requisition, later pow
er press, and several times larger and
faster presses have been purchased
to meet constantly growing demands,
until now the Duplex is doing business
and was bought because it was need
ed. Needless to remark that the Her
aid Office is now one of the best equip
ped in central Iowa and the publica-
tions sent out are equal to the best
in cities the size of Oskaloosa. We
heartily congratulate the public and
the Fortunate proprietors.

The COAL SUPPLY.

A government expert who has in
vestigated the matter reports that II
the coal areas of the Ulited States
were spread out in a layer six and
one-half feet thick, which he consid-
ers fair average, we should obtain
1000 tons of coal per acre, after hav-
ing enough coal underground to sup
port the roof. Our 100000 square
miles of coal territory at this rate
would give us supply of 1,5OO,OO0,-
OO0,0 tons in all. We used up 1893,
O0O. 600 tons of coal IN 1905 and 425,-
00O, 900 last year. In all we have used
so far 6,0O0,00O,O0O tons-that is, We
have worked out little less than a
million acres of coal up to the end OF
1905.
OF course, at the rate of produc-
ton during the last year or two, our
coal supply would last (as nearly as
can be estimated) between 1000 and
5, 900 years. But we produced as much
coal in the last ten years as in all the
previous years since the United
States has Dee1 a nation. The entire
coal product has doubled every ten
years. If that rate of increase were
to continue, the total supply would
be exhausted in the next century
Even at the present rate of produc-
ton the anthracite areas of Penn5yl
yania will be exhausted in the next
seeynty-fve or one hundred years.
There is no occasion for worry, how
ever. Long before the coal supply is
exhausted a new fuel will have been
discovered or electricity will have
come into ge" al use for purposes
of heat as well "a light and power.

rae DAMAGING FLOODS.

Clifford Pinchot, chieI Of the forest
service, in a recent interview said
that the great floods which have Wis
tied the upper Ohio valley and caused
loss estimated at sio,000.O00, were
due, primarily, to the cutting away OF
the forests on the water sheds in lie
heart OF the Allegheny mountains.
Originally these steep mountain
slopes contained as fine hardwood for
ests as existed in the country. Be
meath the tree tops heavy u7ier-
growth and thick cover of leaves on
the ground and the INTERVIEWING roots
Of trees and shrubs so neld back the
water from rains and melting snow
that dangerous foods seldom occur
red.
Cutting OF the timber has Deen SO
extensive that there Is not enough oak
ANA chestnut for ties for the railroads
which run through the region. Fire
has followed the cutting and mas burn
ed up the underbrush and leaf cover
until many mountain slopes are abso
lutely barren and water PUSHES from
them as from a mouse roof.
The remedy. in his opinion, would
be in the replanting Of forests and
their conservation on scientific par
OF forest culture.

CATTLE-The cattle market clos
ed up in very good condition last
week, with prices showing an ad-
vance of about rs cents per cwt, and
today the run is not very heavy again
estimated receipts being 23,OOO,, the
early market opened active and
strong with prices in a great many
instances 10 to Is cents higher, most
of the advance being on the desirable
grades of cattle showing favorable
condition of flesh, however the med
ium and half fat kinds did not sell
so readily but were generally bought
up around steady to strong prices.
There was also a good demand from
the buyers for cows and heifers, and
prices ruled about 10 to Is cents high
er all around. While the nice ad-
vance we have had during the past
few days may bring in a liberal run
of cattle, we do not believe there is
any danger of prices going much If
any lower and on the other hand
should receipts continue moderate we
look for a still further advance.
HOGS-Since last Wednesday the
hog market has been steadily regain
ing the severe loss it suffered, and
prices today are fully 40 to so cents
higher than the fore part of last
week. Receipts have continued mod
crate and the hogs are being readily
bought up from day to day at an ad'
vance in prices. Today with estimat'
ed receipts of $4,000, there was a
very strong feeling in the trade, mar
ket opened very active, prices ruled
generally 10 to Is cents higher, with
most everything sold at the advance
There was a reported sale OF fancy
selected light hogs as high as $6.S2h
but the bulk of the hogs sold around
$6.75, which is So cents per cwt. high
err than last Mondays average prices
Should receipts continue moderate

not be surprised to see hogs reacf

oRlelN OF pEs MONIES.

After three years of discussion and
research, the city of Des Moines, cap
ital of Iowa, has formally decided
that its name is not of French ex-
traction,
The decision was brought to atcrl,
sis three years ago when an erudite
down east writer in magazine de
manded that ''the early French ex-
plorers, such as La Sale, Hennepi1,
Dubuque and Des Moines, should be
adequately represented at the st.
Louis exposition"
The iebate seems to have settled
llat Des Moines was not named af-
ter any French explorer, that there
never was such proper name, and
that there was on good pathological
explanation of the name.
The name comes from the Indians.
1t was originally Moingona, AID
was first given to the Des Moines
river by some of the French. On
various French maps which have
been looked up, it was put down as
Moi1gSna The character IS" was
used by them at that time to signify
the sound of "ou."
AS a result the early Americans
who followed the FrenenmaI into the
valley, not having time to write and
explain this odd French character,
c,f tha word IN MoiO
Then, when the next stage of de-
velopment came, the river, known al
''the Moin," was assumed to have
been named by the French, and the
de" was substituted for the English
article. Finally tie substitution of a
uniformly French spelling made it
Des Moines, without changing the.
pronunciation.
1t was originally pure Indian
name, but a series of accidental cor
ruptions have made it apparently a
French word. Its meaning in the In
dian tongue has been entirely lost.
1t was supposed for many years
under the theory that the name wa:
French, that it meant the monks,
but investigation utterly jisproved
this. The French who came after
the name was adapted to French
forms were the most mystifled as tC
its meaning in French.
