BULLETIN SHOWS MOST
FL0URlSHING CONDITION
REPORT PREPARED BY DEPART
MENT OF COMMERCE
Chief Statistican for Manufactures
Arranges Data on Chemicals
and Their Allied
Products

The bureau of the census has just
published a bulletin on chemicals and
allied products. This bulletin was pre-
pared under the supervision of William
M. Steuart, chief statistlcian for manu-
factures, by Charles II. Munroe, profess
sor of chemistry at George Washington
university, and forms a part of the
census of manufactures of 1905.
The data presented indicates a most
flourishing condition for the industry as
whole. In 1906, 1886 establishments,
with a capital of $323, ,097 ,131, were en-
gagged i'm the manufacture of chemicals
valued at $2S2. 1926. These plants fur
nish employment for 70,345 persons and
paid them $44529,S81 in salaries and
wages.
In 1900 the number of establishments
was 1891. the capital $23S, All ,290, and the
value of the products $202,506,076. The
salaried officials and wage earners en-
ployed numbered So, 3O2 and were paid
$33, ,122, $50.
At the last census, therefore, as COM
pared with the census of 1900, the capt.
tai had increased $S5,525.S41. or 35.9 per
cent; the value of products $79,663, ,140,
or 1878 per cent the number of en-
ployes 1908. or 27.2 per cent; and the
amount paid the employees $11 ,406,951, or
34.4 per cent. Every principal item re-
ported for the industry increased ex-
cept the NUMBER or chlldfen employed,
which was reduced one-tenth. The
wages paid the children, however, in
creased about one-twentieth
There was net increase of 95 in the
number Of establishments manufactur-
ing chemicals. The greatest increase
was twenty-nine for Georgia, and the
greatest decrease was twenty-one for
New York At both censuses the states
leading in the number of plants en-
gagged In the industry were Pennsylva-
MIA, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Illi-
nois and Massachusetts.
The bulletin discusses nineteen classes
of products. Paints and varnishes
formed the most important class, with
products valued at $91, ,487,326. Fertiliz-
ers were second in rank, with value
of $50, 1853; while explosives were
third, with value of $29, SOP, ,SS4. Sodas,
fine chemicals and acids were valued
at more than $10.000.000 and less than

CLUB BET STOPS
LONDON TRAFFIC
PaIings in Oxford Street Erected on
Wager Without Warrant Re-
main Seven Months-At
Mercy of Jokers

LONDON April 1S.-The recent re-
moval of some iron palings from the
middle of oxford street has brought
| to light q good joke on the city gov
| ernment. The palings were such as
workmen put around a spot in a street
they are tearing up for one purpose or
another. The incident started with
bet made in West End club many
months ago.
1t seems that in London the control
| of the streets Is vested in several diff
| ferent authorities and that the various
departments of the municipal govern
ment commissions or committees have
right to tear up or obstruct street
without getting permission from any
one source. The bet made in the club
was that any person could place an OBJ
struction in an important thoroughfare
without asking permission of any one.
and that the obstruction would remain
for at least three days. 1t was prompt
ly accepted.
The next day the betters hired band
of laborers to set up a fence enclosing
few square yards right in the center
of oxford street. The policeman on
the post looked on complacently while
the work was in progress, supposing
that a drain. water pipe, electrical con-
duit or something of the kind was to
be repaired. The fence was put up.
lllS WOIhllIii 0tJdIltu anu llAG CldD
members watched.
Meanwhile bus and cab drivers were
cursing the new impediment to traffic
with that extensive flow of profanity
of which only London cabman is
capable.
Remains Seven Months
Not only did the obstruction stay
there three days, but actually Il little
more than sever months. before the
policeman began to wonder why some
work was not being done in the en-
closure. He made few inquiries and
the fence was whisked away in a
hurry.
This recalls another incident not long
ago, when a bet was made that traffic
on the Strand could be held up for an
hour without reason. Two young men
appeared at the Strand and wellington
street. one'of the busiest corners, armed
with a tape measure and a notebook.
They began measuring from place to
place with great care and jotting down
profuse notes. A policeman held up
commanding arm and traffic stopped.
Congestion of vehicles reached for
blocks in both directions.
When the practical jokers won their
bet they quietly went away, and the
infuriated drivers were allowed to un-
tangle their vehicles and proceed. all
of which proves that too many official
cooks spoil the governmental soup OF
system. Strange as it may seem. the
noliceman was not tipped and there
was no oil put on the wheels Of privi-
lege.

sold Wheat Land for SIS Which Is

clares Future Will Show Great Ad-
vance in Values Because of Improv-
ed Methods and Denser Settlement,

Il am sorry that l disposed of all
OF my interests in this county when ]
did," declared Henry Pierce of Cali
fornia. Land which l sold when l
left here for S25 per acre is now
worth 500 per acre. Had l held my
land it would now bring me a fourth
of a million dollars more than what
sold it for"
This and more said Mr.. Pierce in
discussing the general proposition of
realty values in the west and espec-
tally in the northwest.
Land is going up in the future as
it has in the past" declared he. The
denser settlement, improved machin-
cry and better farming methods are
bound to send the price of land still
higher A man does not need to go
to Alberta or any other place to Sc
cure land upon which to make
money"
While his father Nathan Pierce,
and he were extensive farmers in
this county they introduced the first
in the county. At. the time
they were ridiculed for the move, yet
time has shown the combine to be the
proper thresher for the wheatraisers. !

II AISER'S EXPENSIVE
LOVE FOR THE STAGE,
Subsidies and Other Expenses for
Berlin Thcatcrs Cost Him $500, 900
Annually.

! N'Nt iiiiii '-NVsNuu
Annually.
Some interesting statistics are pub
lished regarding the extent to which
the German emperor personally sub
sidizes the Royal Opera house and
the Royal theater in Berlin. OF a to-
tal of S625.000 expended on them by
the Prussan budget. Sl12.5OO is con-
tributed from the kaiser's private eX-
chequer In addition he bears the
annual deficit something like $4,000,
sometimes as much as 100000.
Thus the imperial patronage of dra-
matte and operate arts represents a
tidy sum of over 100000 per annum.
Even this, however, does not exhaust
the list of the kaiser's theatrical ex-
penses. for every time he commands
performance, the seats for which are
distributed to his personal friends, he
must buy out the entire seating ca
pacity of the theater, averaging a to-
tai of $3.50 for each such affair.
The salaries of the kaiser's operate
and dramatic stars are. of course,
small compared with those paid in
the United States. Not one gets more
than $4,000 a year. The general
manager of the whole royal theatrical
department receives only $4500 a
year in addition to the free use of the
official residence. Nevertheless, the
bill the kaiser will have to foot at
the end of this year will be the heavi-
est he has ever paid. for it includes
the cost of producing his cherished
historical pageant, the Assyrian pam
tomime. "Sardanapalus, which alone
cost over $4,000 before the curtain
rose on the first performance.
