Protection for Fur-Bearers.

Out of the immense forests of up
per Canada have been taken millions
of dollars worth Of furs. For close
upon three hundred and fifty years
about the only revenue which came
from parts of the vast tracts was that
OF the sale of fur pelts. The total
value of all the skins exported from
Canada between 1901 and 1906 reached
SIC, 939,913. As the lumbermen go
deeper and deeper into the woods and
the line OF the settlements grows far
Their northward, the fur-bearing ami
mails lessen in number, and the day
is in sight when the living of the
trappers will be all but cut away. But
the Dominion is considering plan now
to set aside forest land for the fur
beasts. She is loath TO lose the great
income And as the wild animals dis
appear from the United States and
other countries cease 10 supply the de
mands of the markets, Canada's pos
session, if the scheme Of protection is
carried out, will amount To virtual
monopoly.

Change in Trade Routes.

The figures of the exports and I'M
ports at the United States leading
gateways for the year ending Deem
Der q, 1908, which are just made
pablo. show the changes which are
taking place In the country's trade
routes. New York, of course, continues
to have a long lead in the outgoing and
the incoming current of our foreign
commerce. OF the country's aggregate
exports in 1908 of 81, 752, 00O,0 900, 1885,
100000 or much more than a third of
the whole We're by way of New York.
OF the imports of S1,116,000,0OO in the
year. New York had much more than
half, or S65O,OOO,OOO
But in the race for second place
on the roll one of the ports of the
Gulf Of Mexico has won. For years
Boston held the second place both in
exports and imports. For imports 1t
holds that rank still, with Philadelphia
:hird, San Francisco fourth and New
Orleans fifth. But in exports Calves
ton and New Orleans are each far
ahead of the Massachusetts town. Ex-
ports for 1908 were 500, 100000 for
Galveston, S152,000000 for New Or
leans. S96,OOO,OOO for Philadelphia and
SS4 100000 for Boston Although the
imports by way of Galveston for the
year were only a little over $4.O00,O00.
her lead in exports was SO long that
she holds the place of honor next to
New York in the total of her foreign
trade now, with S206,000O0O to her
score for 1908. Moreover Galveston's
exports for the year. as compared with
1907. increased, while those Of all the
other big ports of the country, except
san Francisco, decreased.
GalvestOn's growth as an exporting
point is due TO the circumstance that
% per cent Of the things which the
country sells TO the outside world are
produced west of the Mississippi, and
Galveston is the natural gateway for
all those products for the region be-
tween the big river aud the Rocky
Mountains. More and more the trans
Mississippi region is growing in i'm
portance as productive locality.
More and more also the trade routes
are changing from east and west to
north and south lines Relatively to
| the rest Of the country the Atlantic
ports are losing ground, while the
gulf ports are gaining. Many of the
great east and west trunk line rail
ways have outlets by way of New
Orleans and Galveston. Thus New
York, while still far in the lead among
the country's ports, is losing much of
its old pre-eminence This change in
the direction of the outgoing and in
coming streams of the countrys for
| aign commerce will continue Through
the gulf gateways will. to u larger
and larger degree. pass the foreign
trade of the Mississippi Valley. which
ultimately will lead all other sections
in population, industry and wealth.
