AN INCREASING BUSINESS
Though Home Product Is
Getting Larger There Is
No Permanent Miminu-
tion of Imports-Devel-
opment of Last Decade

Washington. Sept. Especial to The
Republican)-Fifty million dollars
worth of toys have been imported in
to the United States in the last de-
cade and $1,000. 900 worth exported in
the same time. The high water mark
in the export of this class of Amer
the fiscal year just ended. the total
value Of toys exported exceeding for
the first time s1.00e.0O. On the import
side the high water mark was reached
in 1908, when the value of toys import
ed was $7,500. 900, dropping to about
s5.OOO.OOO in 1909.
Despite the fact that the manufac-
turers of the United States have in
creased their investments of capital in
toymaking from less than 81 900. 600 in
1880 to 81, ,I5O, 900 in 1895. and increased
the value of their output of toys from
sI.5OO. 900 in 1880 to $500, 600 in 1905.
the importations of this class of mer-
chandise have grown steadily mean
time To be sure, the figures of the
fiscal year 1909 are slightly below
those of 1908. the record year. but this
Is part of the general reduction in
imports of manufactures which char
acterizes the record of the fiscal year
1909, and can not be looked upon as a
permanent depression in this line of
importation since the monthly figures
in the closing part of the year 1909
showed larger totals than the cores
ponding months of 1908, thus indicat-
ing a revival in the imports of toys
The toy importations in the United
States as shown by the reports of thu
bureau of statistics of the department.
of commerce and labor have. as al
ready indicated. aggregated in round
terms $50,0OO,OO0 in the last decade.
Under the general title Of Toys the
bureau of statistics reports imports
valued at s4.S69. .O9T in the fiscal year
1909, s7.2O6.42S worth in the fiscal year
1908. $6,993.561 worth in 1907, and So
SS7,S6 worth in 1906. In 1904 the to-
tai was in round terms s5.O00.0OO
worth. in 1903 s4.250.OOO. in 1902, s4.-
900. 900. in 1901, s3.750.000 and in 1900
about $4,000. 900 worth. making the ag-
gregate for the decade approximately
s.. .O0O. 600 worth Meantime toy manu-
facturers in the United States appar-
emily amounted to about an equal sum,
or an average of about $5.O0O.OO0
year since the census record shows the
product of 1905 at s5.577.693 and that
of 1900 at s4.O24. .999. This would indi-
cate that the toys supplied to the peo-
pie of the United States during the
decade have aggregated about $780,
00O.O 600. stated in the valuations of the
importers and home manufacturers.
and not in the prices at which sold to
consumers. OF this approximately $780,
100000 of home production, how
ever. there was exported during the
decade about s5,OOO,OOO worth.

HE MIGHT HAVE FAXED.
But Or. Wright Says He Don't Believe
That He Did.

Mount Hamilton, Cal. Sept. 5.-Dr.
Wright, in charge of the Lick Observ-
atory, said DIR. Cook could determine
his position at the pole with an error
of probably not to exceed 500 feet.
The only instrument needed, he said,
was a seXtant. With three observs-
tions on the same day he could have
determined his position with an error
of less than ten seconds of an arc.
He could then say the pole was with
in 500 feet
'As these observations could be
faxed by man with a fair knowledge
of astronomy. the discovery rests on
DIR. Cooks veracity alone. l don't be-
lieve him to be man who would fake
/ believe he made the journey"

LABOR DAY SPORTS
STOPPED BY RAIN
WEATHER INTERFEREs WITH
FESTIVITIES IN PRESCOTT.
Tournament Fizzle But There May
Be Something Doing Today.

Prescott. Sept. Especial to The
Republican)-The first two days of
the Labor Day tournament fizzled
completely on account of the weather.
and 1t is doubtful If the conditions
will be much better tomorrow. The
plan of declaring everything off last
night or postponing il until some time
during the militia encampment was
under consideration last night, but no
action has been taken at this time,
and it is likely there will be a pro-
gram tomorrow If possible.
Saturday and Sunday were given
over entirely to rain. the precipitation
being the heaviest in recent weeks, and
making impossible the playing of any
of the baseball games on the program.
After the cancelling of the Saturday
game 1t was hoped il would clear suf
ficiently for a double header. and pos
sibly for the playing of three games
on Sunday, but the storm continued all
day Sunday, precluding any work on
the diamond and preventing the illu
mination of the plaza and the band
concert that had been planned for Sun
day evening.
Tonight the ball ground and the
streets are i'm bad shape, and ii is
doubtful if any of the games or races
can be held tomorrow, although IL
clear some of them may take place.
One program event, it is believed, will
occur whether anything else does or
not. and that viii be the public we'd
ding advertised to take place on the
plaza in front of the court house at
high noon. 1t is the one event that no
kind of weather can successfully in
terfere with, though it may render 1t
less festal and interesting.

These facts, taken in connection

descriptions. augurs well for the hope

exceedingly heavy fall and winter

tions she decided that It begins at 40
years. Before that age. she says, a
woman has good chances Of matri-
mony. A depositor, however, may

making women understand that the
plan is to their advantage. But she
has a philanthropic band of Boston
women back of her who are ready
and willing TO explain the spinster
insurance principle to spinsters.

that It is the most unusual banking
proposition ever advanced in Amerl'
ca, and that the women interested are
energetic enough to make 1t conform

Mot What He Expected.

A doctor in a Yorkshire village
lately gave up his house, and was
succeeded in it by a veterinary sur
geon. Before he had been many
weeks in his new home the vet
was awakened in the early nours o:
a rather bleak spring morning. Open
ing the window, he heard a voice
call out of the darkness:
Can you come with me at once,
mister? She's very bad"
The surgeon dressed, and found a
trap waiting TO take him to a farm
two or three miles away from the
village. On the way he asked few
questions about the case he was to
attend.
"I'm afraid there's very little hope
for her." said the farmer She's
been ailing now. you see, for ten
years, and she's getting pretty old
as we'll"
ANNOYED at being called out at
such an hour to see an obviously
not very valuable animal. the veter-
mary surgeon exclaimed: why on
earth don't you shoot herr"
What" exclaimed the farmer.
Shoot my mother!"
Then the wet" understood that 1t
was the previous tenant who was
wanted.-Tit-Bits.

The Value Of Trees.

The residents OF western cities do
not seem to appreciate the value OF
trees, as do those of eastern cities.
Nothing adds more to a residential
city than a showing of lordly elms or
poplars lining its streets What more
pleasant during these torrid summer
days. than TO sit under the shade OF
a friendly tree, either at home or IN
the yard of a neighbor Some
householders. OF course, appreciate
the value OF trees, not alone as a
means OF beautlfying ones premises,
but as a protection against the heat
OF summer and the storms OF winter,
and give proper attention to-the mat
ter OF growing them. The great
mass of our western people. however,
pay but little attention to this high
~ important matter and for this
reason few OF our cities are well
provided with trees.-st Joseph Ga
