The total value of everything in the
United States, including real estate,
live stock, farm implements, tools,
gold and silver bullion, railroads,
street railways, clothing, furniture,
jewelry, etc., has been summed up by
the government experts, and here is
the total:
Each year sees an increase in the
sum total of our wealth. The count
which has resulted in the above fig
ures was made in 1904 and has just
been tabulated. The census of 1900
showed the total value of property
to be $88,517, 306,775. Thus we have
gained something like 100000, 900
in four years. This gain is in actual
tangible commodities, things which
can be seen and handled and does not
include the kind of values in which
Wall street and the stock markets
deal.
According to the authorized figures
every man, woman and child ought
to have more wealth than he or she
had four years ago. If all of the real
estate were divided up on the basis
of it's actual value, and each person
given proportionate share, together
with the houses, fences and other
improvements upon the land, each of
the 81,256,O02 individuals in the Unit
ed States would possess $767.22 worth
Of real estate. Four years previously
his share would have been $691.33
worth.
The present average value per
acre of real estate with improvements
is $32.75. Four years ago the average
value per acre was $27.60 The total
value of all the real estate with i'm
provements in the United States is
500 ,341, 492,134. Four years ago the
aggregate value was $52,537, 62S,164.
The total value of all the railroads
with their equipment, exclusive of
telephone systems and telegraph lines,
is $11 ,244, 1852, 900. This is an increase
over four years ago when the same
item was worth $9,O95, $4,000.
Next to railroads the live stock
Of the United States is it's most val
liable asset, amounting as it does to
81, 073, 791, 1876, which, by the way, is
an increase of about $1,0OO,090,00
over their value four years ago. Man
ufacturing machinery, tools and i'm
Elements come next in value, amount
ing to $3,297,754,1 1870. Jumping to-
gether the products of agriculture and
the mines, imported merchandise,
cJOtbinO ond DorcoDo1 odOrnmnnt fI1r.
niture, carriages, the total is estimat-
ed at $18,462, 2S1, 1872.
After all gold and silver coin and
bullion are the least important as
sets in our wealth. The total Of
these is only a paltry $1,998, 1903.
Judging only by the division of the
real estate and it's improvements
among the people, the least desirable
state in which to reside is Mississippi.

MUST PROVE THE EARTHQUAKE.
Must Show It Preceded Fire to Evade
Paying Insurance.


Judge Hosmer, in the superior court
in San Francisco has rendered a de-
cision holding that under the earth
ouake clause in many insurance poll
cies is to be included fire damage
resulting from the earthquake or dam
age resulting solely from the earth
quake. The decision was made in the
suit of Walters against the Williams
burg Fire Insurance company in which
demand was made for damages re-
sulting from the fire Of April Is last.
The court in overruling a demurrer to
the answer set up by the company,
sustains the earthquake exemption Of
the policy and puts on the company
the burden of proving in each case
that the fire which destroyed the prop
erty was caused by earthquake. If
Judge Hosmer's decision should be
upheld by the supreme court, the COM
pany will not be called upon to pay
in any case in which it is shown that
the fire was caused by the earthquake,
and but for the earthquake the loss
would not have been caused.

Help Millions Who Suffer.

Stories of great suffering by reason
of floods and famine are coming from
China, and the American Red Cross
society has appealed to the people of
the United States to contribute to a
relief fund. The people of this coun-

such appeals and will not do so in
this case. People in Washington de-
string to contribute are requested to
send their donations to the treasurer
of the Washington Red Cross, L. w.

merce, Tacoma.

Deafness Cannot Be cured

BY local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
ti0nal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in.
h0med condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachtan Tube. When this tube is tnhamed
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is
the res ult, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken 0ut ana this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by CAtarrh,
whicL tB nothing but an inhamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

THE SACRED GOLDFISH.
Famous Emblem That Adorns the
Massachusetts Statehouse.

Famous Emblem That Adorns the
Massachusetts Statehouse.
A Goldfish carved in wood hangs on
the white mahogany wall of the Massa-
chusetts hall of representatives in the
statehouse in Boston. Between two
classic pillars it occupies a place of
honor, directly opposite the desk of
the presiding officer. This wooden fish
is the renowned original sacred Goldfish
of the Old Colony, and it has assisted
at the deliberations of the lawmakers
of Massachusetts for more than a CEN
fury and half, gathering sanctity year
by year. 1t is a relic of the old build
ing which preceded the present state
house, and great is the dignity of this
souvenir of colonial art and industry.
The following account of its origin
is given in a Boston paper:
Captain John WEIGH of Boston was
the creator and carver of the celebrat-
ed fish. He was a wood carver of re-
nown for his time and in 1747 estab-
lished his business in Dock square. He
belonged to the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery company and afterward be-
came its captain. He was called upon
to contribute to the decoration of the
colonial assembly hall, and as at that
period Goldfish was the colony's main
article Of export Captain WEIGH con-
ceived the idea of immortalizing the
king fish of the Massachusetts waters.
When completed the carving was fin
ished off and colored so as to be a fac
smile of life and was hung on the
wall of the assembly hail."
