Facts cited In . recent report OF
the department, Of agriculture and
technical instruction of Ireland make
significant showing OF the increas-
ing material importance OF that
country to the British empire.
II appears that Ireland rapidly Is
becoming the granary OF the United
Kingdom.
During 1909 ireland shipped more
cattle into the mainland than all 9th
er countries combined.
During the same period Irish farm
ers sold their customers across the
United Kingdom $f7.s41,6e2 worth of
butter aud sis.s3zss4 worth OF eggs.

LESSON IN JoHNsToNE's AWFUL
DEATH.

Poor Ralph Johnstone's awful death
emphasizes more clearly. II seems "a
us. than any of the recent aviation
ira gedies, the fact that the aeropiane

a long way from practical. general
use. The man who flies in an aero
plane takes his life In his hands. just
As does the high diver or the ira
reze performer in the circus.
We are told by a profound student
OF tine subject that the aeroplane Is
10 per cent. plane or planes and
frame, IS per cent. engine and rs per
cent. man. In other words. when
man goes up on an aeroplane he prac-
tically Is flying with artificial wings.
The mans brain and physique accom-

the machine used can be looked 10
for only % per cent Therefore, until
the conditions are materially changed
The aercplane will not be for the gem
eral public. To fly. without seeking
almost certain death, man must have
not only unlimited nerve and some
experience, but must have a peculiar
knaek for performing such tricks.
And since Ralph tombstone. with all
his nerve. skin. ienacty and extraor-
binary coolheadedness falls to his
death with his favorite machine, what
chance has the average citizen with
an asroplane.

NEW YORK CONSUMERS STILL
PAYING SAME HIGH PRICES.

When il was announced few days
ago that there had been generai
reduction in the price OF meats In
New York and elsewhere, an fnyesti-
yation developed the fact that while
there had been no general reduction
here, Newport News dealers were sell
ling at prices comparing very favor
ably with those e. the metropolitan
merchants. While We hoped that the
general cut finally would reach us
and make our living cost still lower
we were inclined to congratulate OUT
selves that we already We're on
footing wlthsthe big city folks.
Now II seems that there has been
no real reduction in prices In New
York. and that Newport News Is con-
siderably better off in comparison
With the larger cities than recently
published reports indicated. Accord
ing to dispatches from New York. the
retail butchers of that city say that
the published reports of wholesale
prices announced by the packers are
largely fictitious. and that in reality
the retailer is paying as much for
his supplies as he has at any time
within the past year. Housekeepers
in New York this week, according 10
the dispatches. are paying the same
high prices for choice cuts as here
,cfore. There were slight reductions
in the medium and cheaper grades OF
meat in some instances, but pork, on
which the largest reduction ct whole
sale had been made, according TO the
packers, actually was bringing more
money than heretofore.
In explanation of this, the butchers
are said to have declared that the
increased demand for pork ON &C.
count of the advertisement given the
alleged reduction in priScs, had made
il impossible for them TO supply their
trade without paying fancy prices TO
the packer On the other hand. the
dispatches say. the packers insist
that the advertised reductions really
have been made by the wholesalers.
and the public must blame the re

Whoever is telling the truth. the
public is paying the freight, as 1t rs
uaily does Since they are still pay
ing excessive prices. the consumers
do not care particularly who is max
ing the excessive profit. Most of
them will believe. however. that the
fault lies with the packers. The beei
trust Is big enough to put reduced
prices into effect IL IL wants to; the

TEN YEARS NAVAL COST.
England Alone Exceeds United States
In Enormous Expenditures.

The British admiralty has prepared
"a comparative statement OF the total
expenditures OF the naval powers dur
ing the last ten years which affords
food for reflection for economists.
These colossal figures in fhe short
period Of decade aggregate more
than $3.50. 100000. Even this tells
but part of the tale, for in most
cases the totals do noe include PEN
sions and the other indirect expendt-
lures which, nevertheless, are con.
nected With the existence OF naval
e. Establishments. These are more or
less balanced by items in other bud
gets which do not appear in the Brit
ish totals. so that the comparison Is
not infinitely accurate, but the totals
when tabulated present some sieni-
ficant facts. the most conspicuous be-
ing the enormous preponderance of
the British naval outlays. The fol-
lowing table gives the aggregates for
the last ten years, both OF the naval
expenditures and of the amount of
new construction in tons:

1t will be seen that British ex-
penditures are still more than twi-e
those of Germany, and thu. in he

BUILDING DATA
At HIGH RECORD
Total Permits for March Reach
1858, Greatest Since
October, 1905
TOTAL VALUATION $b719,921
New Applications for Permits Ex-
ceed S1,50O,000 in Value.
April a Leader

In these days of greatly increased ac-
tivity In building, industrial and COM
mercial enterprises in growing Los An
geles it is a pleasant task to review
local achievements.
The month of March was one of the
banner periods in the new era of ex-
pansion. The total valuation of all inn
amount S1,10S.S27 was for homes alone,
$2S4,765 for twenty-three one-story
brick buildings, thirteen for two-story
structures and four for three-story
buildings, the remainder of the whole
amount being for alterations, etc.
Total permits were 1868, nearly equal
to the total of 1910 issued in October
1905, during the boom period.
The first quarter of 1910, closing
March 81, shows that 1898 building per-
mits were issued against 1866 for the
same period in 1909, an increase of S32.
The total valuation of authorized inn
provements for the quarter was $5,OO3,-
SIS, being $457,040 over the previous
highest record for three months Q906)
in the entire history of Los Angeles.
The 1910 first quarter record is more
than double the valuation for the same
period in 1909, when the total was $2,-
6lS,375.
April starts off with a rush. Appli-
cations have been filed for two permits
involving the expenditure of $1.425,0OO.
One is for the Alexandria hotel addi-
tion, to cost $1,000,000, and the other
is for the eleven-story Los Angeles
Trust and Savings Bank building,
northwest corner of Sixth and Spring
streets, cost $425,0O0 1t is predicted
that April will exceed I'm value of inn
provements all other months in the his
tory of Los Angeles.
Records of the big utility company
give glowing stories of growth in pop
ulation. The Los Angeles Gas and
Electric company in the month of Feb
ruary 1910, installed 1000 new gas and
electric meters. This was the greatest
number ever placed by the company in
one month. The company figures five
persons for each meter, which means
growth of 5000 in population in twenty
eight days.
With 400 to 500 new dwellings built
every month, utility companies are
taxed to the limit to provide service.
Below is the official tabulation of all
improvements in Los Angeles for the
month of March, 1910:
