Travel on the Great Lakes 10 be
coming more popular every year. Al
no period in the worlds history has
travel by water been 80 INDUCED In,
both In a business and pleasure way
TO such an extent as at the present
time During the past season, over
sixteen million people were carried on
the various steamers OF the Great
Lakes, over two-thirds of which were
handled in and out OF Detroit, which
surely speaks we'll for the advantages
offered those living In this locality.
The principal feature which makes
lake transportation 30 attractive, Is
the excellent steamers which ply
their busy trades on our inland seas,
especially Is thus true OF the Detroit

clearings reported by the Detroit
Clearing House have more than
doubled In 1900 the clearings were
s427 100000; in 1910 the total clear
ings reported for the city were 1915
100000. The clearings figures are the
best index OF the financial growth OF a
city, for practically every transaction
that takes place in the city is record
ed at some stage in the clearings hg-
ures. From the figures shown above
It can be seen that the volume OF bust
ness transacted In Detroit has far out
stripped even the phenomenal growth
in population.
The gain in the other items that 20
10 make up the bank statements has
been fully as great. Deposits have
increased from $76.l3S,795 in 1900 TO
S145.00O,000 in 1910. A substantial
portion OF this increase rs in savings
deposits. These have shown a steady
gain even through the panic year. In
this connection il must be remembered
that the panic year did not mean much

automobile development was then
growing at It's greatest rate and De

cities were shut down.
The capital and surplus employed In
the banking business In Detroit has
expanded TO meet the greater fnan-
cial needs OF the city. In 1900 the
total capital employed in the banking
in Detroit was $S.s15.100, and in 1910
this total had increased TO $40, 100, 000

from eastern financial centers. While
little more care was exercised TO
prevent over-expansion, and there was
an occasional furry OF uncertainty
the financial institutions OF Detroit
showed themselves capable or hand
ling the situation with skill and profit,
succeeding In preventing any serious
disturbance IN business. The bank
ing institutions OF Detroit have shown
themselves fully capable OF keeping
up the rapid pace which the city has
set for them.

The importance OF Detroit as a
banking center can best be realized
from the statement that every time a
dollar changes hands In the rest OF the
|Dtate OF Michigan another dollar
'changes hands In Detroit. In other
words the banking business of the
lefty of Detroit is as large as the en-
tire business done by the rest OF the

BOASTS
VETERAN JOCKEY
Especial to the Silver State.)

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov.-23.-L. M.
Lindsey, of Spokane, contemporary Of
Doble and Splan in their palmiest days
and oldest active driver in the world.
is at work preparing his campaigner,
Padishah, to cover the western circuit
in 1912. He is 81 years of age and has
handled trotters and pacing horses for
more than half century in various
parts of America. He holds several
records.
Lindsey is native of Illinois, born
in Cook county in 1880. When nine
years of age his parents moved to
Iowa, where he remained ten years, 90
ing to Oregon in 1S49, during the gold
excitement in California. Twelve
years afterward he moved to Boise.
which was then part of Washington.
Eph Maynard, driven by Lindsey at
Walla Walla, Wash, in 1862. made
followers of the trotting world sit up
when the animal stepped mile in
1852, afterward going mile in 2:4O,
equalling the mark set by Dexter at
Dexter park, in the stock yards dis
trict of Chicago followwing the fire in
1871. Eph Maynard made his mark
in 1872, and the time was a record in
Oregon for years. Lindsey also drove
Parrot mile in 2:30, new record
for Oregon, which was made in the
ninth heat of four horse race.
The veteran had charge of the Reed
and Ladd stock farm at Reedville for
a number of years and raised Jane L.,
a trotter that cleaned up everything on
the coast and set mark of 2:19H in
1884. He has been on the circuit
every year since then and despite his
age he declares he is good for from 10
to Is years. His last race this season
was at Colfax, WASH, less than FIVE
weeks ago.
Lindsey is in good health and is as
active as man half his age He as
cribes his strength to keeping regular
hours and clean living and following
the teachings Of the Golden Rulue.

". P. adding TO
OUR POPULATION

Yesterday the Western Pacific ad-
ded another freight crew to its train
force, making total of eleven freight
crews running out of this division
point.
While the general Winnemucca pub
lie is aware Of the fact that this is
division point for the Western Pa
cific. is is doubtful if they realize the
Importance of this fact, ana wnat it is
doing for the town. As stated, at
present there are eleven freight crews
running out of here, which means, in
cluding the engine men, 55 men added
to the population of the town, in ad-
dition to the families of several of the
employees. Then there are ten passen-
ger crews, which means 30 more men,
not counting the enginmen, who run
through. This gives us a total of s5
trainmen, who make this town their
headquarters and send the bulk of
their salaries here. With the round
house shops, station and yards, it is
safe to say that the Western Pacific
has added 200 souls to the town s
population.
1t is estimated that within the next
two years the number of train crews
will be increased to so, by which time
the Western Pacific employees at this
division will constitute in themselves
the population for a good sized country
town.

EXPORTS OF AMERICAN
FOOTWEAR INCREASING

The American shoe manufacturer is
extending his sales in all parts of the
world. In the fiscal year 1850 we ex-
ported less than 100000 pairs of boots
and shoes; in 1890, 100000 pairs; in
1900, over 100000 pairs; in 1905,
over 100000 pairs; in 1910, over T.
100000 pairs and in the calendar year
which ends with next month the num-
Der viii exceed 100000 pairs, to say
nothing of th 100000 pairs going to
Porto Rico and Hawaii. These figures
relate to boots and shoes of leather;
while if to this we add those of India
rubber, we get an additional 100000
bringing the total number of Ameri-
can-made boots and shoes passing out
of continental United States in 1911
up to an average of 100000 pairs per
month, against about 100000 per an
mum twenty years ago.
This increase, it should be remem-
bered, has come in the face of large
manufacture in foreign countries of
boots and shoes called American
manufactured by foreign workmen and
of foreign material, but upon Ameri-
can patterns and following American
methods of manufacture 1t is we'll
known fact that large quantities of
shoes sold in various parts of the
world under the title of American
are, in fact, made in European coun-
tries upon patterns and forms and
methods of manufacture developed in
the great manufacturing establish
ments of the United States; and it is
thus probable that the number of
boots and shoes of American type and
thus American in the sense of form
and method of manufacture sold in
foreign countries is very much greater
than that indicated by the mere figures
of expectation. In actual exports of
boots and shoes manufactured in the
United States, the total for the year
which ends with next month will, as
above indicated, aggregate more than
12,000,000 pairs, including in this
figure those of India rubber and those
sent to our own non-contiguous terri
tory.
The United Kingdom is the chief
rival of the United States in supply
ing boots and shoes to the world. Her
exports of boots and shoes are still
greater both in total number of pairs
and total value than those of the
United States, but the growth in her
case is far less rapid than that of this
country. The number of pairs export
ed from the United States in 1895 was
965, 5,lo6, and in 1910, 7,s10903; the
number of pairs exported from the
United Kingdom in 1895 was $685.
44o, and in 1910, 13,039,6 $3.50; the per-
centage of gain in the case of the
United Kingdom being 81 per cent,
and in the case of the United States,
nearly no per cent The value of
leather boots and shoes exported from
the United States, however, is more
nearly identical with that of like ex-
ports from the United Kingdom, hav-
ing been in the calendar year 1910
$13,216,237 against $14,744,969 for the
United Kingdom the average price per
pair of those exported from the United
States having been $1.69 against $1.13
for those exported from the United
Kingdom.-San Francisco Chronicle.

esting exposition ever held anywhere
in the world.
What Will Congress Do?
Opinions as to the net results of the
coming session of congress vary not a
little. Some of the statesmen already
in Washington believe that congress
will pass practically no legislation.
Others are just as certain that it will
delve deeply into tariff legislation. It
is not very probable that congress will
transact very much business, as both
parties will probably feel disposed to
go ahead with much caution on the eve
of big political campaign, in order
to make as few mistakes as possible.
The currency will receive a good deal
of attention, and an effort will be
made to adopt the Aldrich plan for q
central bank The Democrats are dis
posed to abolish the commerce court,
which they accuse of being too strong
ly biased in favor of the transporta-
tion interests. They declare unequivo-
cally that they have "got its goat, -
as the sporting editors say. The ad-
vocates of waterway improvements
will try to have a definite policy
adopted, and the trust bsuters are due
for a lot of anti-corporation talk.
Economy the Slogan.
Wherever the Industrious legislator
turns at the coming session, he is like
ly to run into the slogan of economy in
national expenditures. Army posts
and navy yards are to be abolished
by consolidation,and the appropriations
for new public buildings, for water
ways, for the conduct of the public
business and for everything else con-
nected with the government are to be
held down as close as possible. This
cry for economy has even prevented
the consideration in the army appro-
priation bill of any expenditure for the
fortifying of Los Angeles harbor, for
which land has been bought and which
is the only important strategic point
on the Pacific coast not already pro-
vided with defenses The president is
determined to keep up the program Of
economy, and the Democrats win have
to get pretty busy, the president S ad-
visors think, if they succeed in show
ing greater solieitude for the public
purse than the administration does.
But this is all very distressing to the
hard working congressman who are
anxious to help their districts with the
aid of public funds.
