Congratulated By Mothers

The management OF the Luna Park

plus time today receiving consratula-
tons on the success Of the big baby
show OF Saturday. while many mothers
in the Capital thought after the awards

show, and although many OF these
mothers openly expressed their opinion.
yet the management has received no
protests and on the other hand has been
the recipient Of many f1attering COM

AWAIT TARIFF BILL
Large Increase in Last Year
in Importation of Raw
Materials.

Silk cotton, wool vegetable fibers.
tobacco, india rubber, hides and skins,
copper, tin, and lumber represent more
than half of the manufacturers mater
iaIs imported into the United States,
according 20 Q statement prepared by
the Bureau of Stauctics of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor The
record for the fiscal year Of 1909 will
show a greater importation of these
materials than any other year in the
history of the country according to the
experts of the bureau The value of
this material IS not so great, however,
because the prices per unit OF guam
tity were materially less this year than
two years ago.
The figures just announced by the
Bureau of statistics are interesting just
now as they indicate the probable ac-
tivitv of the factories as soon as the
tariff oil is safely on the statute
books. 1t is reported that the great
warehouses of the country are filled
with raw material which is only await
ing the solution Of the tariff before the
duty is paid and it is shipped to the
factories for manufacture.
100000 Pounds of Silk
II e amount CT raw silk imported for
Manufacture was over 100000 pounds,
which is an increase of about 30 per
cent over the year 1905, when the largest
previous importation took place. The
value Of this product imported aggre-
gates about S79.OO0.000.
The raw wool imported amounted to
66,50O.O0O pounds, which is the greatest
since 1891, when unusual conditions pre-
vailed before the passage OF the Ding
ley tariff bin increasing the rate on
wool. The value of wool importations
for this year approximstes $40, $4,000.
Following is table showing the
amount imported and the value of ma
terials for manufacturing imported for
the year ended June 80, 1903:

At that time it tested the capa-
city of the Seattle Theatre at
every performance for the entire
week, and could have run several
weeks, had the time been open for
it. elena Rivers" is probably
Miss Bunting's most likeable
character, and her numerous
friends will be out without doubt
to witness her last performance
and bid her au revoir.
