IMPORTATION OF HIDES.

1
The sharp struggle in the Senate over
the duty on hides directs attention to
the Increased volume of this business.
Our shoe manufacturers. by the use OF
improved machinery and methods. are
making the best shoes in the world,
and they are everywhere displacing the
handmade shoesy even in the remoter
parts of Europe.
The importations of hides and skins
for this trade have now reached the
enormous figure of $4,000. 900. making
this item compete with coffee for the
second place among our imports In
the last quarter of a century fully ST.
900, 100000 of hides and skins have
been imported, of which goat skins
alone formed nearly s4oO, 900 worth.
During the present year we have i'm
ported about s25,OOO, 900 worth of goat
skins, or about s2,OO0.O0O per month.
! this schedule. For example. we import
ed 5,500.000 pounds of buffalo SKINS
worth S75O,0OO The importation of
horse and ass skins reaches 100000
pounds, valued at $2,25o,000; sheep
skins. 47,000,000 pounds. valued at $9.-
900, and we even took 100000
pounds of kangaroo skins valued at
$390.000. The most of the goat skins
and buffalo hides come from India,
while Canada, Argentina and Mexico
supply most of the hides of cattle. OF
the 9S,000.000 pounds of cattle hides.
5,500.000 pounds come from Canada,
%, 100000 from Argentina, 100000
100000 from Colombia. 1000, 900
from Uruguay, and about 100000
from Venezuela. The imported hides
and skins form about one-third of the
value of the material of this character
used in the manufacture of leather used
in the United States. Owing to the de-
velopment of the foreign boot and shoe
trade, our expectation Of leather and
its manufactures has grown from ST.
100000 in 1880 to s4Q500,000 in 1908.
Great Britain is our strongest competi-
tor in exporting boots and shoes, but
our manufacturers are furnishing a
higher grade than the British. The av-
erage value per pair of the boots and
shoes sent from Great Britain was Sill,
while the average value of the exported
shoes from the United States was s1.68
per pair.
The city of Liverpool, England, is an
astonishing illustration of what can be
done by war against white plague"
Some years. ago Liverpool was the most
insanitary City in Great Britain. The
houses of the people were disease-breed-
ing to the highest degree, and more
than 10000 people dwelt in cellars in
the midst of appalling squallor and filth.
The people become thoroly alarmed.
and started in for war. They spent
millions of money, and gave to the
work indefatigabie industry and firm
ness. They tore down not less than
5000 insanitary novels, at a cost of
81, 500, 900. and built instead thousands
of small Uncomfortable homes for the
working people. The happy result of
their good work is now being told in
statistics. The health of Liverpool is
better than any other city in the United
Kingdom, and the rate of consumption
has declined to 1.35 per thousand.

Timid people who fear the japanese
invasion should take heart at the per-
Torrance of the SD Coast Artillery at
Port Townsend. The gunners fired at
an average range of 5000 yards. or ap-
proximateIyt two miles. and struck the
target every time. This was only so
feet by 80 feet, and it should show thar
war vessel would have been blown
out of water at the first voIIey. At
Fort Rosecrans. near San Diego. the
gunners made a good record with the
great l0-inch disappearing rifles. They
scored five hits out of six shots at a
target travelling 10 mites an hour ard
$500 yards away. or nearly three miles.

The Board of Army Engineers
throws a dash of cold water Oh the
Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico In
its report to Congress the Board esti-
mates that such a waterway would re-
quire IS years for its completion and
cost s15S,637,4 ,462. with an annual cost
of s6,Sl0.000 for maintenance. 1t says
that there is nothing in the probable
7 trade to be carried by such a water
way to Justify this expenditure, and
it believes that a nine-foot channel
would meet the requirements.

The controversy whether Mrs. Eddy
is still alive still goes on. The Chris
tian Science Sentinel insists that she
is in good health and mentally alert,
that she directs changes in the by
laws of the church and writes import
ant communications. She drives out
every afternoon accompanied by Calvin
A. Frye. her footman and confidential
private secretary. The reporter Of the
Boston Globe who had interviewed Mrs.
Eddy year ago saw her on one OF
these drives aDS found that she showed
no marked PIT. al change.

The latest news from Theodore
Roosevelt comes from DIR. Ramon Gui-
teras. who met him in the jungle. The
Doctor says that the main dangers
which the ex-President encounters are
not wild beasts. but bad water and
chiggers. Unless the drinking water is
boiled it is almost certain to bring
fever. and the chiggers cripple the feet.
None of the animals is dangerous. and

Approaching the Lode.

The Wallace Times, published at
Wallace, Idaho, gives an account of
"the hole in the mountainside" where
in William Cordiner, Magnus Sjo-
blom and two others are digging,
delving and dynamiting for gold and
other metals. We reproduce the
article:
A group of eight claims located on
Coal creek, tributary of the north
fork of the Occur d'Alene river, on
the same side of the river as the Ida
no Northern and about three-quarters
of mile from the railroad, is being
developed by the four owners of the
group, Andy Jacobson, VIM. Cordi-
ner, Fred Magnuson and Magnus Sjo-
blOm.
The four are engaged in driving a
crosscut tunnel to the vein and this
tunnel is now in 100 feet. 1t is expect
ed that the vein will be tapped in the
next 100 feet or considerably less, but
as no accurate measurement or sur
veys have been made, the owners are
not certain how close they are to the
ledge.
The men are in solid formation
which requires no timbering and are
making good Roadway. A 7O-foot
drift was run close to the surface
which showed values in copper and
gold assaying about 1923 a ton. The
groupings showed the vein to be six
feet wide at the surface and the
values were fair in copper and gold.
The vein has not been traced for any
great distance on the surface so it is
not known how much of the ledge is
within the lines of the claims.

DANGEROUS MISTAKE.

Princeton Mothers Should Not Neglect
Kidney Weakness In Children.
Most children have weak kidneys.
The earliest warning is bed-wetting.
Later comes backache, headache,
languor. IT'S mistake to neglect
these troubles. To blame the child for
it's own distress. Seek to cure the
kidneys-save the child from deadly
kidney ills. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys.
Mrs. Frank Dimmick, S. First Ave.
Anoka, MIMI, says: "My son had
kidney complaint from infancy. He
was unable to retain the kidney secre-
ton which weakness caused much an
noyance. I gave him many remedies,
but he received no satisfactory relief
until Doan's Kidney Pills we're used.
After he had taken the contents of one
box, the kidneys we're restored to a
normal condition. I heartily recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills in return
for the benefit they have brought my

The death of Mr.. Hitchcock reminds

though so much more noise was made

his efficiency was the fear and hatred
of the rich criminals. For almost the
whole seven years of his service the
whole body of prominent and influen.

and earth to get him removed. We
heard of no such campaign against

Roosevelt had the sound instinct to
hold on to the good men Mckinley
