Further evidences Of the renewe 1
activity of the manufacturers of the
country are found in the latest re-
ports OF the bureau OF statistics of
the department Of commerce ana
labor, which present figures of i'm.
ports of manufacturers materials in
January, 1909. January, 1908, and
January, 1907.
This enables a comparison Of
actual importations of manufae.
turers' materials in January, 1908,
and January. 1907. respectively, AMI
Supplies facilities for at least a rough
estimate OF the manufacturing ac-
fivity at the present time compared
with that of one year ago, the high
tide of industrial activities. In prae
tically all cases the importations OF
manufacturers raw materials in jan
uary, 1903, show a large advance
over that OF one year ago, in the
period of depression, and in not
few cases the figures are actually
larger than those of the correspond
ing month two years ago. when all of
the industries of the country were
running to their full capacity Of pro
duction.
Wool, raw cotton. raw silk, ibers
tin. copper. lead, iron ore, hides AMI
skins, india rubber. furs and Fur
skins. and tobacco are the principal
raw materials imported for use in
manufacturing They form in value
more than so per cent OF the articles
included in the bureau of statistics
class "crude materials for use IN
manufacturing" aud represent lines
of industry in which material from
abroad is absolutely required; in mos;
cases. because the article in question
Is not produced in the United stataz
and in other articles, because tao
quantity produced in the Unitad
States is insufficient to supply tho
demand for home manufacturing In
dustries.
The table in the report shows the
quantities OF these principal manu-.
facturers' materials imported in Jan
nary. 1909, compared with the ie
ures of January. 1908. when indus
tries were at low ebb due TO tht
generally depressed business conii-
tons at that period. and January
1907. when Industries were at Their
high state OF activity. II will be
seen that the quantity OF wool 70,

was "a 1-3 million pounds against

GOLDFIELD, New. June 19-Death
Valley Scotty made his appearance in
Ida yesterday with big roll of money.
Just exactly where he expects to go or
where he had been or what he expects to
do remain as much a mystery as ever.
Not long ago it was reported that Scotty
was down and out" George Bever, one
of the heavy stockholders of the New
Centennial Company. said today that on
his invitation Scotty spent the night at
the camp and that on undressing for the
night he took from his pocket a bunch of
bills as large as a mans arm and, toss
ing them to him, remarked: You sleep on
those; I'll use my coat for q pillow
Mr.. Bever says Scotty could not be in
duced to say anything about where he
had been or where he was going, but
that he was well provided with funds
could not be denied. and from the drift of
the conversation had with Mr.. Bever he
is soon to return to that mysterious spot
in Death Valley from which he is sup
posed to have extracted so much wealth
during the last three years. He disclosed
nothing about his future plans except to
say that he would again begin to bring
In rich stuff from his mysterious mine,
but that he expected to fight shy of Gold
field, since his reception there had not
been the warmest.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. June 19.-1n-
spired by the spirit of investigation, DR..
Joseph Goldberger, a physician attached
to the marine hospital service, has de-
liberately contracted the straw mat
tress'' disease. In similar devotion to
science. DR.. Jay F. Schamberg, discoverer
of the strange malady, has inoculated
himself with the virus of the disease,
taken from one of thevesecies that de-
veloped on DIR. Goldberger's arm.
The disease is very prevalent among
river and seafaring men of this port at
present. and the health authorities be-
ieve that it is due to sleeping on mat
tresses stuffed with straw. 1t was to
prove this if possible, and to allow of a
close study of the malady, tha. DIR. Go d.
berger contracted it. He thrust his barred
arm between two mattresses and kept 1t
there for two hours. In short time the
hive-like eruption appeared on the limb
and DR.. Goldberger had the straw
disease. Yesterday he left for Washington
to exhibit his arm to the heads of the
marine hospital service there.
DR.. James 4. Gassoway, surgeon and
commandant of the public health and
marine hospital. who has been investigat-
ing the strange malady, said today:
"A microscopic object has been isolated
"a larval mite. found in large quantity
in the dust from straw. Just what 1t
is has not yet been absolutely deter
mined, but 1t may be soon.'

PUBLIC PRINTER TO CONTROL.
Small Bindery in the Treasury Will
Be Transferred.

The small bindery in the Treasury De-
partment will be transferred from the
jurisdiction of the Secretary of the
Treasury to that of the Public Printer
and removed to the government printing
Office.
This bindery was organized in the six
ties and has always been considered part
and parcel of the Treasury. In it are
employed seven men, a foreman, four
binders and two sewers. None of these
men will lose their positions or even suf-
fer a reduction in salary by the change.
One of the duties of the little bindery
is the safeguarding of Cancelled bonds,
valuable records of the Treasury. When
the change is made the bonds will be
kept in the Treasury and will not follow
the bindery.
The order for the change has not been
issued yet, but as Secretary MacVeagh
has practically come to decision in the
matter the order may be expected in the
near future.
