try, and with the closing of certain
negotiations for exports of gold to
Europe, this movement will establish II
new high record. Berlin and Paris
need gold by reason of the industrial
expansion and the heavy borrowing by
the German government.
An incentive 30 make shipments to
Germany is the apparent willingness of
the Imperial bank to allow interst on
the gold while in transit. Another
factor that encourages the export trade
in gold with France is the profit that
can be made when sterling exchange
sells above $i.ST and the Paris check on
London falls to about % francs.

The national board of general APP
praisers at New York has reversed for
mer decisions and placed hides of the
India buffalo on the tariff list of cattle.
Heretofore they have come in free with
the hides of the cape and water buffalo.
The decision will add about 81, 600, OOO
annually to the shoe bill of the people.
The Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin
says:
The decision of the appraisers will in,
crease the cost of manufacturing the
cheaper grades of shoes, and will there,
fore effect those who can least afford to
meet the advance. From 81 900, 900 to
$40, 900, 900 worth of the Indian hides
are imported every year. Each hide is
valued ut from II to SO in the crude
state, or about one-third less than the
hides of domestic cattle. Thousands of
importations were held up pending the
decision, and the owners of stock will
have to pay from co to 80 cents each tC
got them from the bonded warehouses.
While the conclusion of the appraisers
may impose temporary hardship upon
the importers and upon the shoe trade,
it may bc II good thing after all. as it
will doubtless stimulate agitation in
favor of Il repeal Of the duty OH hides.
The shoe manufacturers Of the country
have been appealing for such action for
several years. .Qnc'of the first changes
when the tariff is revised will hc the
placing of hides on the free list.

was only "A small town and flags could

the flag which their mother made of
these materials. A young fir tree

ganized Is highly commendable. There
is nothing that adds more to the pres
tige of a community than good roads.
With many hundred visitors traveIs
ing the valley each year and telling oi

we ought not to let their story be

the unsatisfactory condition OF our

to some extent local it is to be hoped
that residents OF the valley, In con
junction with the new county officers
and the automobile club, will make
every effort to put our roads in the

The action Of the international Ap-
pie Shippers Association, which it is
said, will endorse the proposed new
law to increase the size OF apple
boxes, ia not meeting with favor by
growers to whose attention 1t has been
brought. As the boxes now in use in
the Northwest states contain full
hushel according to the Winchester
measurement, now accepted as the
standard for the United States, there
does not seem to be any excuse for
increasing their size except the greed
OF the shippers. Unless concerted
action OF some kind is taken by grow.
ers against the bill there Is consider.
able reason for believing that it will
be passed during the coming session
of Congress. Therefore 1t is up to the
apple men to take up the matter

acted.

bought for $500 and houses erected on
them for 5000 to $500. These, they
say, will rent read lily for $40 to sl5 a

to be an attractive investment for
