From the way in which the applica-

coming in at the office of the secretary
of State the total for the month of April
bids fair to beat all records for that
month since the automobile law was en-
acted. From the records on file at the
office it is learned that the number of
automobiles which have been registered
from April / to April 10 is 167, while
the entire month of the year 1909 the
number registered was only three more,
10. The total number of automobiles

GOV. BRADY ON CONSERVATION

Gov. Brady. of Idaho, has ideas on conservation which are fully in accord with those held by vast majority of the people in Alaska
 In letter to Golfers Weekly he says:
 We of the West believe that the natural resources should be con served for the benefit of the state in which the Creator has placed them. We maintain that the east ern states have developed all their water powers and coal mines and phosphate beds which belonged to the Nation and have allowed them 10 go into the hands of private in dividuals and corporations, and that they have devastated their forests for private gain and converted them into farms, and that 1t is unfair for them at this late day to say that We must conserve our resour- ces and divide the revenue deriv- ed from the same with the people of the East who have recklessly parted with theirs. We intend to and will conserve our natural re sources. but it is unfair to divide all the revenue which should accrue to the state with the people who have parted with theirs and have secured the benefit of the same, and shall endeavor, to the best of our ability show the members of the House of Governors that this posi- ton is fair and equitable and just This could be done in no other way except in a meeting as President Taft called to meet in Washington in January"

FIGURES AT A GLANCE.
]. <. * j. <. :. :. ... !. :. :. :. :. :. :.

Ninetenths of all the arithmatic of commerce consists of addition. It will readily be seen how necessary it is to add rapidly and accurately. The smallest error in adding up an ac- count may lead to a loss of hundreds of dollars. As a rule the fastest add CTS are the most accurate The rapid ity of thought is much beyond the power of speech, and a person of ordinary memory, who is familiar with a paragraph which is read. can anticipate what is to follow in it's order, and in his own mind, keep spoken words of the reader. Vari- ations in the order of the nine digitS can be made to the number of 362,S8O; but only ninety changes are required in order to add each digit to each of the other eight and to itself; and these may be so thorough ly memoriZed that the sum of two or more numbers is instantly pre- sented to the mind when the eye sees them for that purpose After sufficient experience the mind grasps the figures almost unconsciously. and the result Is reached as quickly as the eye can glance along the line with attention. In practicing the reading of a column of figures, pass the eye over the figures as if you were reading sentence, slowly al first, increasing the speed as pro ticiency acquired. Practice a half hour each day, and the result will as tonish you. Remember that the ability to add rapidly Is of more value to business men than is a knowledge of any other department of arith- metic.
 Strange to say, few persons can than ten with the same ease and rapidity as the product of the same numbers Most persons can give the multiplication table to 12 inclusive without mental effort; but they know the addition table so poorly that they add slowly and with tiresome eff fort. The most rapid accounts are usually the most accurate.
 To add rapidly depends upon the ability to readily combine numbers, Those who would become rapid ac- countants must master this key
 It is an indispensable exercise in acquiring this art, to spend at least few minutes each day in the drill of adding numbers, which practice should be carried on with system Practice faithfully pursued, on ex- ercises like the accompanying, will soon show remarkable results.
 There are A possible combinations of two figures, not including the cipher These are arranged in the accompanying table in miscellaneous order and their sums should be per fectly committed to memory.

 Any two figures seen together should instantly take shape in the thought as one. Thus, in row of figures and cease to be those figures and to the mind are recogniz- ed as the number '. The same holds as you continue the study and at tempt to grasp three figures at time and then four But a thoroughness in the practice of even the two-fig- ure work will make one swift and sure beyond the usual; and such ex- pertness is well worth acquiring. In deed, how one who deals in figures can withhold himself from such skill is the greater wonder to us. It looks like a matter of mere duty; a duty which he owes to himself

The tobacco crop is not so large, but

Then. there are thousands of fat cattle
in the fields, and many valuable fruits,
and vegetables, besides profitable mines
of iron and copper.
Only one crop seems to be lower than
an average -; the crop of tourists, from
which Cuba has received many thou
sands of dollars during the last ten years,
seems to be smaller this year than it
has been in former seasons. Neverthe-
less it is still yielding no inconsiderable
sum.
Is not Cuba, then, on the high road
of prosperity? No. I wish / could think
so, but / can not. Working much dur
ing the last ten years for the betterment
of the Cuban people, have become deep
ly attached to them. They possess many
attractive traits and lovable character
istics which superficial observers have
been too quick to deny to them. 1 know
them better, and have for them real af-
lection. Their well being gives me Joy
and their Universities give me pain. 1t is
with genuine sorrow, therefore, that
have reached the conclusion that Cuba is
sin a bad way" and that it is approach
ing a serious crisis.
Ry this I do not mean that an insur-
rection, such as has been common in
Latin-America, is impending. Insurrec-
tons in Cuba in the form and extent
known in former days, belongs to the
past Railways, an admirable system of
highways, and the power of the United
States always near, make former disor-
ders impossible.
But Cuba is approaching rapidly a
financial crisis of the most serious
! character. The budget of the National
government this year amounts to $685.
| OOO, 900, and If the expenses of the local
governments of municipalities, etc, be
added to this huge sum the aggregate
will fall scarcely below $6O,O00,0OO. This
means that taxes amount to more
than $40 per capita. The entire sugar
crop-great as it is-would fall s2O,-

of Georgia, and the Georgfans outnum-

What administration would dare tax
Georgia over S3O,OOO,OOO a year?
There are too many offices and Of
fice-holders in Cuba. Salaries OF gov
eminent employees are too numerous
and too large. Even rnese enormous
taxes are insufficient to meet the ex-
penses of the government, and device,
worse than taxation mas been adopted
to make up the deficit. A national lot
