TAFT PLANS A
WESTERN TRIP
Its Extent Depends on ApprO-
priatiOn he May Get
From Congress

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. April 17z-President
Taft has requested prominent rail-
road ofiic.al to make an estimate of
the cost Of the. Western trip that he
expects to make this summer. and If
plans do not so far wrong, he will start
cut on the long swing round the cir
Gle soon after the first of August.
Although the estimate has not beon
completed. enough information has
been gathered to show that the Presi-
dents tour to the Pacific Coast and
back win cost close upon $1,000
II the President goes to the coast.
he viii visit Alaska. This announce
ment was made by the executive. It
viii oe his first visit to the Arctic
province and viii be also the first time
that any President OF the United
states has ever set foot upon its soil.
After he makes his trip to Alaska. and
the southwestern part Of the United
states, he win have visited every spot
covered by the stars and stripes.
The extent OF Mr.. Taft's western
trip is contingent upon his securing the
travel appropriation Of $4,000 frors
Congress. If the appropriation Is not
made he probably will not be able
10 travel west OF the Mississippi.
In order to make such a journey such
as he is planning, he will OF course he
obliged to have a special train. II
would not look only mean and un-
oinified for the President OF the United
States to be shunted unceremoniously
about the country in day coaches and
Pullmans. but It would subject him to
great many discomforts and dangers.
He would also never he free from the
intrusion of curious crowds.
Mrs Taft and a party composed Of
secretaries, stenographers, telegraph
operators, guards and messengers, will
accompany the President on the west
ern trip.

FROM CONSUMPTION

There were twelve more deaths re-
corded during the past week than dur
ing the corresponding week of last

ing to Health Secretary Joseph Wig

during the week from a contagious

There we're six deaths from consump-
tion. five from pneumonia and five
from heart disease.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Determining Conditions Are Irregular
but Tendency is Toward Improvement.

determining conditions Are irregular
but Tendency is Toward Improvement.
Bradstreets reports irreguiarity in
weather crop and industrial conditions.
while Dun's hnds business steadily broad
ening.
Duns says today:
Although the movement Of trade IS slow,
it is OF large volume and steadily in the
direction OF Improvement. No other in
depreciation can be given of the records
OF bank clearlngs, which show a gain OF
9 per cent. over both 1903 and 1906 outside
OF New York. and the reports OF railroad
earnings for the first week Of April.
which make a gain OF 126 per cent over
last year. The starting Of outdoor activi-
ties under generally seasonable spring
weather imparts a welcome stimula, and
the new building operations are a really
notable development, promising much for
the whole business situation. The iron
and steel trade Is giving better account
OF itself, although the larger orders are
the result Of the sacrifice Of prices.
The volume OF importations continued
extraordinarily large IN spite Of. though
perhaps because OF. the tariff agitation.
! The March importRtions, amounting TO
SlsS, 4i0, 2o7, were nearly equal TO the high
est months total. The imports for the
latest week at the port Of New York
were s5.Si2.lSs larger than last year ana
only si,iis,slf less than in 1907. The total
commerce Of the port was Se5lSIes IN ex-
cess of 1905, when It aggregated S522
1884,
In iron and steel the structural lines
continue to reflect broader demand. con-
tracts placed thus far this month, com
prtsing a very substantial tonnage. and
considerable new business is also I'm sight.
The railroads are taking advantage Of the
low prices named to make necessary inn
provements and extensions. while the ad-
vancing season has stimulated building
activity in many sections. Locally con-
struction work is undertaken with some
vigor.

Possession OF the ball
Or made threat TO jump his claim
His title covered all

To say to him: Il fear
That you are getting OF too cheap.

The fences on his line
And said he'd have TO move them in

Turn handsprings and be glad
