The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-07-01

NTOT so many years ago the wild
~ deer cropped the succulent bunch
grass of a beautiful prairie in Wash
ington, only a few miles from what
afterwards became the site of the
bustling, busy, growing city of Spo-
kane, now possessing nearly or quite
100000 people.
Barring a few nomadic Indians the
gentle-eyed deer were in undisputed
possession of the land, and they
thrived upon it, for even in a wild
state these acres were productive and
afforded excellent grazing.
Later, white men came and their
herds of cattle displaced the deer,
although for time none cared to
become legal owners of the soil. But
as the Spokane country began to set
tie up, the land took on a certain
value that could be measured in dol
lars and cents, and patents were OBJ
tanned from the government by ac-
tual settlers.
Still, seventeen years ago, when
first the founders of the Hazelwood
company now the second largest dairy
enterprise in America, secured 100
acres of pasture land there, but little
actual farming had been done. Many
said the land was worthless for all
but grazing purposes, and none could
picture the development that has since
transpired.
The founders of the Hazelwood
company found these fertile acres well
suited to the requirements of their
dairy interests and year by year ac-
quired more and more until their hold
ings aggregated some 5000 acres.
Part of it was cultivated, although
the greater amount remained as ma
ture left it, and was only used for
pasture. With the growth of Spokane
and the development of all nearby
agricultural land, the Hazelwood
Home Ranch increased in value, for

EXPORT OF MANUFACTURES.
In the Decade Ending With 1905 the
Increase Was 1913 Per Cent.


The United States now ranks third
among the worlds exporters of manufac-
lures, according to a monograph on lex
ports of manufactures from the United
States and their distribution just issued
by the bureau of statistics of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor.
1t is shown that not only do the exports
of manufactures now exceed $70O 0OO. 900
per annum, and have doubled in value in a
single decade, but the share which prod
ucts of the factory form of the total ex-
ports is steadily Increasing. A comparison
shows that in 1850 manufactures formed
but ID per cent of the total exports of
domestic products, while in 1906 they
formed 40 per cent
With the RAPID increase of population in
the United States and consumption of
natural products, the quantity of food and
raw materials remaining for distribution
to other parts of the world has not in
creased prOpoftionately; and with the de-
veIOpment of manufacturing facilities and
the trend of population to the manufacture
ing centers production of manufactures
has rapidly increased, and the surplus of
these manufactures which may be spared
for foreign marks.s has also increased.
Foodstuffs, which in 1880 formed AZ per
cent of the total exports of domestic prod
ucts. formed In 1903 but 81 per cent Of the
total; articles In crude condition for use
In manufacturing, which in 1880 formed
sc per cent of the total, formed In 1906 but
~ per cent. while manufactures increased
their share In the exports from q per cent
In 1880 to 40 per cent In 1906.
In the decade ending with 1905 exports
Of manufactures increased 1913 per cent;
while those from Germany increased 70

cent and from France. % per cent Inc
growth of exports of manufactures in the

CANAL ZONE CHANGES
ALL MUNICIPAL OFFICES WILL
ABOLISHED.

Changes in the local government on the
canal zone which will abolish all the
municipal governments now in existenct
and result in the harmonixing of various
parts Of the zone are to become effective
April 15 President Roosevelt has signed
executive orders providing for wholesale
changes, and Richard Reed Rogers, general
counsel for the isthmian canal commission
will go to the canal zone with Secretary
Taft and remain there for some time TO
assist in recognizing the government
Four Administrative Districts.
All the municipal councils the mayors
and other municipal officers will be done
away with and the five municipal govern
ments in the canal zone will be replaced by
four administrative districts. which would
be under the direct control of the canal
commissioners. These districts will be
known as Ancon, Emperador. Gorgona ana
Cristobal. Under the old organization the
five municipal governments were III CON-
troll of officers named by the COMMISSION
and not elected by the people. Consequent
ly the abolition of the municipalities Will
not in any way limit the voice OF the peo-
pie in their government, but Will make ~
possible for the COMMISSION 10 give ,he
various administrative districts ordinances
and regulations which are in complete mar
mony.
Great Saving in Expense.
The municipal governments were found
after complete test to be wholly unsats-
factory, and all canal officers are con-
WINGED that the new plan will be far more
satisfactory. 1t will result in the abolition
of the bureau of municipalities on the 18TH
mus, which costs about $4,000 a year. and
will cut off about $4,000 in salaries 10
municipal officers, making saving OF
about So, 600 Many Of the efficient munich
pal officers will be retained In various
positions under the new form OF govern
ment. ~,
One of the new executive orders Will
authorize legal marriages to be mace on
the canal zone by any minister or tne
gospel. Another order will modify the
penal code so to remove defects 1ouno
in the original code.
Mr. Rogers will not go to Cuba and Porto
Rico with Secretary Taft's party. but Will
remain in Panama for some time looking
after changes in the government. 1t Is
estimated that the total saving TO the
United States under the reorganized gov
eminent in the zone will be about SIO0VOo
q year. Furthermore there will be cen
tralization and unification Of the govern
ments of the various sections, which was
impossible when five councils and hve sets
of municipal officers were endeavor1ng 10
enact and enforce ordinances which were
widely at Variance in the different munich
palitieS.
