SUFFRAGISTS ARE
 EXTREMELY ACTIVE

Albany, N. r., February @.-Although Albany for many years has been the Mecca of those interested in the cause of woman suffrage, it has never been the scene of such persistent activity as it was during the present legislative session. The judiciary committees of both houses have promised to devote the afternoon of March g to Ia joint hearing on proposed constitutional amendment by which the suffragists hope to gain access to the poll ing booth, and every effort is being put forth to make it the greatest field day the cause has ever known.
 A big banner Haunted in the window Of States street store almost under the shadow of the capitol, points the way to the headouarters of the New York State Woman Suffrage association, in which Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont Is actively inter- ested. while at the Ten Eyck hotel Mrs. Clarence Mackay has established branch of the Equal Franchise society, of which she is president.
 Legislators are interviewed at every op- pcrturity by the suffragists and persis- tency is playing an important part in the campaign trey are waging. Many meet ings are being addressed by interested women and literature and "votes for women by the tons are being widely dis tributed.
 The suffragists have endeavored to in- terest Governor Hughes in the cause, but the govcrnor has declined to indicate his DC siton in the matter.

all the west. In an early day they were the first to blaze q trail in the wilderness or cut a road through the forest. Now, in the decadence of pioneering, the cow boy is the last to leave the wreck, save in isolated sections where stage driving is still an occupation for a very few men. Less than half dozen of the pony express riders remain to tell the story of hardship and danger in the days when Kit Carson carved out fame.
 The End In sight.
 That the cowboy is vanishing or has vanished. is shown by two unmistakabe signs. Reunions are never held until after the event which makes such gath erings possible. Celebrations are never held until after something has been done to celebrate over. Yet each year now for four or five seasons q celebration has been held a Cheyenne, Wyo., dubbed Pioneer Days" which was intended to commemorate life on the plains, when the cowboy was master and friend. For two or three days thousands of people gather: cowboys from all over the cattle country take their best horses and go hundreds of miles to attend, and sports of the old fashioned nlnu are indulged in. The tricks of the lasso. the quickness of the gun, the expertness of the horseman, are recalled with wonderful vididness. Over in Oklahoma City Ellison Carroll,
 
 just carried out a successful reunion of the plainsmen of the centrai country. He planned a big gathering for New Years and the day preceding, at which the best men from the big ranches of New Mexi- co. Texas, the panhandle of Oklahoma, and Colorado participated in roping cat tie, in branding, in the roundup, in shoot ing, in horsemanship. and other sports and tasks of the cattle country Prizes of $l000. were offered to the four men making the best time in roping and tying wild steers. Carroll has held the record for four years-l7 seconds. Fifty head of wild steers were sent from ranches in New Mexico for the contest
 Cowboys are celebrated for their hon. esty and their human side, when it has a chance to exert itself:
 In bidding farewell to the old school cowboy in Oregon it is but just that his service to the west will be consid- cred at it's full value. A true pioneer, great hearted. honest to the core, care less of himself and all his interests, brav- ing without question the blazing desert in midsummer and the piercing blasts Of winter, stopping the stampede at mid night or facing the angry gun in a brawl, he was typical of his day and the occasion which created him. He fought a good fight-and lost.

AMERICAN SOLDIER
 NOT FED TOO MUCH

Washington, February 20.-Maj. Charles E. woodruff, of the army medical corps, has taken sharp issue with some college theorists who think the regular army s H. oier is overfed. Some years ago squad of soldiers was fed on a greatly reduced diet, under the supervision of a college professor to demonstrate his point that people in general could live on less food than they consumed. Apparently satls- factory showing was made, but now Major woodruff Mas gathered evidence that most of the men suffered from the test
 Major woodruff wants more food for the army, declaring that the United States army Is behind European armies in that matter and favors an allowance of 50 cents per month for each soldier to buy extra food.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 DRY GOODS MARKET

> New York, February 20.-There has been some readjustment of values on cotton goods in the gray, conforming more nearly with the values placed on finished goods a few weeks ago for fall delivery, and on the lower basis of prices some business has been done with converters and with the manufacturing trades. Fall River sold but 0.000 pieces of print cloths during the week. In this market about s0,O00 pieces of sateens and twills were sold on a basis of 3O1a cents to 31A cents per pound as against value of S3 cents a month ago, for the working shirt trade The business done on f1annelettes has been large for fall deliveries
 The jobbing markets were more active during the week and while retailers show little desire to anticipate or speculate, they are applying themselves steadily whenever prices show only moderate increase over the figures of last season. In the jobbing markets values have held steady, as they were not on parity with the primary market or with 15-cent cot ton when the season opened. Printed goods are in moderate call.
 The trade in bleached goods is light. Colored cottons hold fairly steady. but are inactive. Duck is quiet and irregular. Some business is passing in seven-ounce Osnaburgs at 9A cents. It is accepted in the trade that merchandising condi- tions do not warrant hope of full dis tribution on a basis of 15 cents cot ton for the next few months and cur failment in output is looked for at the mills.

AMAZING GROWTH OF SILK INDUSTRY

Washington, February 20.ZzHer Imperial Highness, the American Woman, is wear ing more and more silk every year and more than ever is she wearing Amer ican made silk In preference to the man ufactures of foreign lands. Certainly the women of Uncle Sanls domain can sue cessfully compete with their sisters of other nations in the matter of being sfllxen clad, for during last year it is estimated by the United States govern ment officials the value of silk used by the country was approximately H65, 000,0O0 Of this enormous sum $132000,000 repre- sents the value of home manufactured silk used in the United States. the bal ance, sSS0OO.OOo. being the value of silk imported into the country during the year.
 Unmanufactured silk imports made their highest record in the history of the na- ton in 1909, their total having been s75, ,6O0, 900, against $73,O00.000 in 1907. the previous high value record, while the quantity imported in 1909 exceeded that of 1907 by over 40 per cent.
 Remarkable has been the growth of the American silk industry.
 Raw SILK imported Tn loiV ainounleu to 73S, ,381 pounds. The figures for 1909 were about 25,0O0.O00 pounds. Measured by value, the growth has been from S4O00,- O00 in 1870 to $75.5000 900 in 1909 In the same period the average price per pound af raw silk decreased from S5.25 to sS B Or 37 per cent.
 The rapid growth of importations of raw silk is in marked contrast with the almost stationary importations of silk manufactures In the period from 1870 to 1909 the value of raw silk imported in- creased $7O,OOO 00O, or more than sixteen fold, while the manufactured silk impor- tations increased only s5,6oo,OOo, or about N per cent.
