TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA
EFFECT OF COMPLETION OF THE
PANAMA CANAL.
Extensive Harbor Improvements and
Better transportation Will
Benefit This Country.

Pan-American commerce so far as re-
lates to the west coast of South America
is described in a report of Special --gen
Charles NJ. Pepper TO the Department OF
Commerce and Labor, which is publlsheo
by the bureau of manufacturers.
The report estimates that between now
and the completion of the Panama canal
500. oOo, 900 will have to be spent in har-
Dor improvements on the west coast IN
order that the ports may secure the full
est advantages of the canal. The great
est harbor improvement is that of Val,
paraiso, which will involve an ultimate
expenditure of $4,000. 600.
The total foreign commerce of Ecuador,
Peru Chile and Bolivia is placed at $50
100000 to 5000 O00,O00 with a tendency TO
reach S3OOOO0,oOO OF this commerce the
United States has about S5o,0oo.OOO the
balance being slightly against it, There
is, however, a marked increase of both
exports and imports.
Importers of Manufacturers.
The natural conditions DO not favor the
establishment of industries on a large
scale so the west coast countries will al
ways be buyers of manufactured articles.
The largest market is for railway material
and mining machinery, but there is also
a growing trade in electrical apparatus
and in farm tools. The market for tex
tiles is largely controlled by Great Brit
ain. Flour. packing house products, can
ned goods and other provisions are sup
piled by the United States.
Most of the railway construction now
going on is due to the investment of cap
ital from the United States. Railways
under construction or likely to be con-
structed soon are reviewed country by
country. Heavy investments have also
been made by capitalists from the United
States in mines and smelters, one invest
ment in Peru amounting to S20. 600. 900
Capital is also going into the Bolivian
lin mines.
Stress is laid in the report on the pros
pect of improving the steamship facilities
from Panama southwark. This will bene-
fit trade and passenger traffic and will
shorten the time for the exchange of
mails by one-half The Peruvian govern
ment has two eighteenknot steamers
building in British shipyards. The first
is to be put into commission in the spring
of 1909. When the new line is in opera
tion the time between Panama and Callao
will be brought down to five days, as
against twelve days at present. 1t is ex-
pected that the existing steamship COM
panies will provide a twelve-day service
between Panama and Valparaiso under
Chilean subsidy.
The report includes many trade hints.

The Bee is personally acquainted

The National Association of Re
tail Druggists, in convention at At
lantic City, September I4-I8th, has
this to say of DR.. Richardson:
while our committee on National

been eminently successful in defeat
ing legislation which if enacted would
have been of great disadvantage TO
the druggists of the entire country.
Probably the most important of these
measures was the parcels post bill.

tive committee was a very important

FAVORS SUFFRAGE.

Dr. w. S. Richardson, the we'll
known South Washington druggist
in an interview with The Bee, ex-
presses himself as follows. on suf-
frage in the District of Columbia.
Il believe that the interests of the
citizens of Washington, or any other
city can best be served by one man:
at the same time, the man who exc
cutes the laws should not have the
power to make the law, or regula-
tions, as that would be contrary to
all rules of civilized countries.
The person who rules a city should
be elected by the people over whom
he presides, and be made to feel that
he is responsible to the citizens and
taxpayers for the faithful carrying
out of the laws of the city over which
he presides.
A Board could be created by Con-
gress with such power to make police
regulations, or any power that Con-
gress might deem proper: a Board
of this kind could have half appointed
by the President and the other half
by the people of the District By
/ this system we would still be a part

reason why the Government should
not Fay one half of the general ex-
pcnses of the District, since they own
80 much of the valuable property in
the District, and should even without
this consideration feel that the whole
people Of this country have an in
terest in the capital of the greatest
nation on earth. By this system it

Editor The Ranch:
When you write up my biography l
wish you would insert in the proper
place that the "Snohomish County
Idea" originated with J. F. Littooy
and that county did not take it up till
was exhausted in exploiting the idea.
1t was from my observation of how
the farmers were Handicapped in clear
ing land to make a living when it is
no easy problem to make it without
the effort involved to clear it, that
caused me to take up the matter.
My own experience of IA years past
while at Sumner clearing my own
farm of huge stumps to make the liv-
ing, put me in position to sympa-
thise with the fellow who had to do
likewise.
My experience as county horticul-
tural inspector for nearly six years
in Snohomish county convinced me
that capital should and could do it
cheaper, and that, best of all, the gov
eminent reclamation service should
do it, as it is just as important as re-
claiming the arid and semi-arid and
swamp lands. The finale of my paper
at the State Horticultural meeting was
to eliminate to the Importance of gov
eminent aid to clear the land.
Reclamation service to water and
drain and "I add to clear" and also
to .irrigate the land in the "dank"
Northwest The population there re-
uuires intensive farming to supply
their needs. Hence it is worth more
than present prices and will be rapid
ly occupied.
When you wrote the comment on it
in The Ranch you were unaware OF
how it originated, and selfishness did
not inform you. No one claims it for
they dare not. But it had to originate
somewhere, and now you have the
fact and can put it where it belongs.
Your comment on the "Littooy Idea, .
you would mean, was certainly O. K.
