BRYAN COMMENTS ON ELECTION.

Lincoln, Neb. Nov. 11.-William
Jennings Bryan, in his paper, the Com
moner, says today:
"The democrats have reasons to re-
joice. The next congress will be DEM
ocratic, meaning that Champ Clark
will be the speaker to overthrow Can
nonism.
"The democrats gain several seats
in the senate. which, with the pro-
gressive gains, will make it probable
that the senate will submit consti-
tutional amendment providing for the
direct election of senators.
Taft had an opportunity to rec
commend the submission of this
amendment and failed to do so. Now
the honor goes to the democrats and
the progressive republicans. The re-
suit in a number of states is still in
doubt, but enough is known to give the
democrats reason to hope for a pres
idential victory in 1912"

HENRY EDGAR DIES At
PLAINS
ONE OF MEN WHO DISCOVERED
ALDER GULCH RICHES COMES
TO LIFE'S END.

Plains, Mont, Nov 12.-Henry F.
Edgar, one of the discoverers of gold
in Alder gulch and well-known Mon
tana pioneer, died at his home here to-
day, after very brief illness. He was
in Missoula during the early part of
the week, visiting friends. Soon after
his return he was stricken with a Sc
we're cold, and his lungs, which had
been weakened by serious attack of
pneumonia early in the year, became
affected. He passed away this morn
ing on the farm that had been his
home for 26 years and to which he re-
tired when he forsook the activities of
mining life. He was probably one of
the best-known of Montana pioneers
on account of his prominence in the
early history of Alder gulch. He
reaped a great fortune from his par
ticipation in the discovery of the rich
placer bar in Alder gulch, but most of
it was dissipated in subsequent min
ing ventures, and his wealth at the
time of his death was represented by
the farm which was his home in this
valley. His funeral will be held at his
home Monday.

THE BUSINESS, OF -
MAKING AUTOMOBILES

For amazing quickness of growth
into huge figures of business nothing
has been seen before to match the in
dustry of making automobiles and
their fittings. 1t seems but yesterday
that pioneers in America were jerred
at for their halting attempts to make a
snorting monstrosity run for a few
miles without stopping for extensive
and narrowing repairs. This year
there are being produced in theUnited
States cars and their accessories to
the value of nearly half billion dol
lars.
By 1905 the industry had acquired
a respectable start. The tremendous
strides have come within the past five
years. The official figures below tell
the story:
No. of concerns manufacturing au-
tomobiles, 1910, $50; 1906, 1O1.
No of cars made 1910, $4,000; 1905,
2S,4OO.
Value of cars manufactured, 1910,
$24O, 100000; 1905, $56,OOO,OOO
Amount of capital invested, 1910,
SITE, 100000; 1905, $S5, 100000.
Capital invested in accessories,
1910, $175,O00,0O0; 1905, $23, 1000 900. =
Persons employed by auto manufac-
turers, 1910, 140 900; 1905, 15,OOO.*
Number of agents selling cars, 1910,
1900; 1905, 80O.*
Employees of selling agents, 1910,
$4,000; 1905, 1000.
Employees in trades supplying parts
and accessories and deriving direct
benefit from the automobile business,
1910, 100000; 1905, 60,0OO.*
ESTIMATED on the basis of such
statistics as are still available.
These figures are huge, but are still
inadequate unless one considers the
collateral industrial activities that &c
with making 1855 900 motor cars with
cash value of $240,0O0,OOO.
This does not mean merely so many
machines at such price, brought anG
driven over country roads and city
streets by so many proud car-owners
or their chauffeurs.
1t means that the making of these
cars involves the importation and man
ufacturer of vast quantity of metal
rubber, leather, wood, hair, wool ant
glass, and the making of many ac
| cessory articles which the luxurious
automobile owner of today deems alb
solutely essential for pleasure an,
comfort, though he knew nothing O
them ten or twelve years ago.
