about three and one-half acres on
Manhattan island where the density
of population is at the rate of $50,

OF Paris shows a far greater aver

York, the figures for Paris being
79,3OO square miles, and for New

OUR LAND PURCHASES PAY.
All Of Them Have Added Immensely
to National Wealth.

In the Philippines as in it's other
land deals, the United States made a
good bargain. The census of the
Philippines just published shows
that the forests in the islands. in
which there are TAT varieties of
woods, are worth about SO .000, 0,0O0,-
600, or double those of the States of
Oregon and Washington, which are
especially strong in that particular
asset. Then there are great depos-
its of coal. iron and lead, and there
are many indications of gold and sill
yer, all of which represent q wealth
of several billions more. The Phil
ippines cost us s20.000.000 in the
lump sum which we paid to Spain.
Possibly the military and naval ex-
penditures on account of the islands
cost us S4OO,O0O,000 or 100000
600. But even If these figures were
quadrupled We would still be gamers
in that speculation in a monetary
sense.
The Louisiana region, extending
from the Mississippi to the Rocky
mountains and the Sabine river, cost
US 100000, which We paid to
France. We gave s5,0OO,0OO to
Spain for Florida, which comprised
not only the present state of that
name, but the lower ends of Ala
bama and Mississippi and most of the
eastern projection of Louisiana.
Texas came to US without cost, and
so did the Oregon country, compris-
ing the present States of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho. and parts Of
Montana and Wyoming. Through
conquest and the payment of $18,
25O.O00 to Mexico we obtained the
present States of California. Nevada,
Utah, the Territory of Arizona-ex-
eept below the ella river-and parts
of New Mexico, Colorado and Wyo-
ming. For the region south of the
Gna we paid $4,000, 600 to Mexico.
For Alaska We paid s7,20O,00O to
Russia. The gold alone which We
got from Alaska in 1904, not count
ing the coal, fish, fur, blubbeT or ath-
er things, amounted to over $40 600
600 In its products Alaska has
paid for itself thirty-fve times over
since we bought IL.

 Provisions to demand the use of the union label and that all bowlers must wear uniform shirts were also adopted.
 A proposed constitutional amendment defining the duties for the secretary of the congress and naming him tournament secretary was favorably considered, put some changes were deemed advisable, and the amendment was sent back to the re- vision committee.
 MT. Karpf submitted rule disqualifying the owners and employees of the bowling alley upon which the games of a league or tournament association are barred from receiving any individual prizes offered at the contest, where all the games in Ques- tion are bowled on one set of alleys. This was passed. The committee then ad- journed until Thursday. The first session of the congress will be held Friday.

RAGING MEN HOLD
 BIENNIAL SESSION
OFFICIAL RECOGNITION IS GIVEN TO INTERNATIONAL cHARAc- TER OF NATIONAL TRoTTING ASSOCIATION.

New York, February 12.-Official recog milton was given to the international character of the National Trotting asso- citation at todays session here of the asso- ciation's biennial congress. The Canad- ian provinces were made concrete part of the association by the election of a delegate from the Canadian dominion to the board of general officers. To make this possible the office of third vice presi- dent was created, and Alexander Mac Jared of Buckingham, Quebec, was chosen for the new office. Of even more import ance to the large numbers of American horsemen, was the associations action in opening the doors to amateurs racing un- der the associations rules. It was pro- vided by means of an amendment to rule A, carried with only three dissenting votes, that records cannot be made or bars incurred in contests on the tracks of members for premiums other than money, when no entrance fee is collected from competing horses. This rule applies. ac- cording to todays action, even if ad- mission is charged at the gate and priv ilegeS sold. Otherwise, the rules cOncern- ing public racing shall be enforced, and privileges under the rule are extended only to organizations which are members of the National Trotting association. The adoption of this amendment will have the effect of extending the privileges and pro- tection of the association to the numerous amateur trotting horse associations throughout the country, frequently known as .'gentlemen's riding and driving clubs. '
 Heretofore membership has been con- fined to regular racing associations.
 Minor changes in the rules related to time of accepting mailed enries, addition of fines to possible penalties of expulsion and suspension and to the powers of Judges In dealing with drivers and in de- termining horses eligibility.
 The rule on entries was changed, three entries and two starters being required in purse events unless otherwise specified, iil- stad of five entries and three starters, as formerly.
 For the twentieth time, Maj. P. P. John ston of Lexington, Ky, was chosen pres ident of the association. The officers elected besides MT Maclared were Morgan G. Bulkley of Hartford, Conn.,, first vice president, and E. P Heald of San Fran cisco, second vice president.

QUEER LOOKING MACHINES

New York. February 12.-The six auto- mobiles contesting in the New York to Paris race started from Times square Forty-second street and Broadway, at Il 15 a. m. today, cheered by a throng of several thousand people. Accompanied by more than POO motors of all descrip- tions, the racing machines made their way up Broadway and Riverside drive to the city limits, where they turned north on the road to Albany. From that city the route to San Francisco, which the trip lies across New York to Buffalo, thence through Cleveland, Toledo and Chicago to Omaha, Cheyenne, ogden, Re- no, Goldfield, San Luis Obispo and San Francisco. Mayor Mcclellan was to have given the word to start, but was delayed and Colgate Hoyt of the Automobile club of America took his place. All traffic in the neighborhood of the Times square was stopped a half hour before the start Automobiles clogging the intersection streets and lined the route for many blocks up Broadway No such aggrega- ton of machines has been seen in or about New York since the last Vanderbilt cup race was run. A band in the official grandstand played the anthems of the nation as the cars lined up for the start. A pistol shot sent the contestants away amid the cheering of the people and the hoarse footing of hundreds of automo- bile horns.
 The contesting cars are the queerest looking machines ever devised for motor ing purposes. With their heavy equip- ment of stores and camp utensils, sev- eral of them were a modern representa- tion of tn old prairie schooner. One re- sembled a hook and ladder truck, with long running boards on either side, equip ped with axes. shovels. ropes and a dozen other articles. The clothing of the dri- vers varied from black bearslkin to pure white fur outfit and head-dress worn by a French team.
 Three French cars, one German, ore Italian and one American started in the race. Each machine carried the flag of its nation, and that of the United States They were plentifully decorated with signs and placards so there could be no mistake in their identity.
 The buildings surrounding the Times square were decorated with flags and bunting and the start was quite spectac- ular Estimates vary as to the length of time the race will require. From six to nine months, it Is believed, will be con stunned.

Trying to Get Damaues.

New Orleans, February 12.-Another attempt was made by the government today to obtain damages for the cele- brated Esparta Magnolia collision two years ago in which President Roose- welt was placed in great peril. The President was on the Magnolia, small government boat, bound for the mouth of the Mississippi river when the steamer Esparta ran down and almost sank the Magnolia. Recently the Uni ted States district court denied the gov ernment's suit for libel for the Magno- lia's damages and today an appeal was argued before the circuit cour of ap- peals.
