GAINS IN FOREIGN TRADE.

The fiscal year which will end with
June next will show large gains on
each side of the foreign trade account
over the year which ended last June,
and those twelve months broke all rec
ords. For the seven months ended
with January of the present fiscal
year the merchandise exports were
81 1923, 100000 and the imports $780,
100000. Each item was far in excess
of all former figures, but the gain in
the imports was much larger than it
was In the exports. Thus, while the
balance in our favor on the foreign
trade of the seven months Is $319.-
100000, 1t was $360,000,000 year ago
Tor the corresponding time.s
II the present drift keeps up to the
end of June, the net gold Importation
for the fiscal year will break all rec
ords. For the seven months already
expired of the year the gold imports
have exceeded the exports to the ex-
tent of $7S,000,00O, as compared with
s23 100000 in the corresponding time
a year ago. The nearest at which the
present figures were approached was
In the seven months ending with jan
uary. 1897. when the net gold imports
amounted to s64.OO0,O0O. Nobody can
tell what will be the drift of things
In the remaining five months OF the
financial year, but the outlook is for
large addition to the country's gold
stock. despite the rapidly expanding
volume of merchandise imports.
The prosperity is chiefly responsible
for our increase In merchandise pur-
chases abroad. The people have more
money than formerly, they expend
more for luxuries as well as for neces-
saries. and much of the luxuries come
from outside the country. A steadily
expanding amount Of necessaries also
have to be obtained abroad on account
of the failure of the home producers
to meet the home demand. This Is re-
sponsible for more OF the Increase in
imports than is commonly realized.
The country, however, Is not grum-
bling at the expansion in imports. The
treasury officials are welcoming 1t, for
IL means surpluses instead of deficits.
Uncle Sans cash account Is likely to
tell an attractive tale at the general
roundup for the financial year ON
June 30.

STARVED CATTLE AND HALF
STARVED CATTLE.


This has been bad winter on the
cattle ranges Of North Dakota, Mon
tana and the province OF Alberta
across the Canadian border. There
has been snow and Ice and more snow
and ice till the cattle, which depend
for their fodder on the dead grass they
can find, have been entirely cut of
from food. The result Is that one
cattleman at Helena reported couple
Of weeks ago that 40 per cent OF his
80 900 head OF cattle had starved to
death. while in some sections 1t is
feared that 10 or 80 per cent OF the
cattle will die,
1t is surprising thing that In this
age huge business like cattle rails
ing can anywhere In this country be
conducted on basis which does not
give protection against the possibility
of such huge losses. One would think
that even If humanity did not prevent
1t self-interest would see to 1t that
the ranchers provided food for their
cattle. Unfortunately this is one OF
the cases when self-interest Is on the
opposite side from humanity. The
ranchers know that 1t is only once in
long time that they will meet with
heavy losses such as those OF the past
winter, and the range feeding is SC
| cheap that they take the risk.
Their business is no more humane
because winters like the past are rare
| The half-starved cattle suffer almost
as much as the cattle starved to death
and the half-starved cattle include the
| great bulk of the cattle not only In
| the bad winters but In all winters
The cattle men will not take a RENE
dial measures themselves. They will
only change their methods II forged

MISLEADING AND UNTRUE.

Silverton Miner.
Under headline reading San Juan
Officer Charged With Fraud" the Den
yer Times contains the following ar
ticle concerning the filing of a min
ing suit:
Thomas Annear, treasurer of San
Juan county, is charged in complaint
filed in the United States district
court with selling illegal tax titles.
the effect OF which, 1t is claimed, Is
to defraud a mining company OF its
claim.
1.-THE Cordova Consolidated Mining
company Is the complainant. The de-
PENDANTS are II. H. Barnes. George NJ.
Mckinney H. L. Hollister, John T.
O'Neill, Sarah O'Neill and John S.
Fox. The Terrible mine of the Ami
mas district, San Juan county, is in
volved in the litigation.
''Annear is accused OF selling to
Barnes tax deed which vas illegal.
The Cordova people say they own
the property outright and the tax deed
was trumped up to defraud them out
of It,"
The article Is decidedly misleading
and especially as regards the head
line. A careful reading of the com
plant In the case fails to disclose any
allegations that would carry out the
statements made In the headline or in
the body of the article. However, the
complaint does contain allegations
which the plaintiff company will find
1t very hard to substantiate In court.
The fact of the matter is that no
transaction has occurred In the county
treasurer's office which is not only
strictly according to law, but on the
contrary mandatory on the treasurer.
The Cordeva company, which ls seek
ing to recover the property 1t lost by
its own negligence, was delinquent for
several years for taxes on the Terrible
lode on King Solomon mountain, Mr..
Annear's predecessor. Mrs. Cunning
ham, SOLD the property for taxes under
The law providing for such cases, and
for three years after the sale the
company made no effort to redeem 1t.
At the expiration Of the three years
the holder of the certificate of sale.
Mr., H. II. Barnes, applied to Treas
nrer Annear for a tax deed. This
under the law the treasurer was COM
PEELED to issue. 1t was a transaction
which takes place in every county in
The state every year and Is the only
means by which the county can pro
tect itself from people like the Cor
lova company, who fail to pay their
taxes.
