these people buy only $9,00),OOO worth
of goods from the United States in
a year. The exports of the same
countries were a trife over that
much. England, Germany and France
outstripped the United States in the
commerce with the South American
countries, and there is no logical rea-
son for this save that we do not have
the ships to compete with those ma
tions. Most of the goods that are
imported and exported from South
South American countries are carried
TO this country in foreign vessels.
Our purpose in starting the new

cheaper freight rates, to facilitate the

Yesterdays Shooting With
Big Guns Was Good; Better
Record Is Expected Today

The official record of yesterdays
target practice at Fort Ruger has not
yet been definitely determined, but it
is sure that Iour hits were made out
of the ten shots fired.
Major e. J. Timberlake, command
ing the post, has not given up hope
of getting one, possibly two, or even
three more hits to his credit, but this
will not be positively known until the
hits can be worked out from the pho
tographic records which form a part
of the official record of the practice.
A photograph is taken from the tug
which tows the target, of each splash
as the propectiles hit the water, and
with the knowledge of the distance
If the camera from the target, the
distance from the splash to the tar
get may be very accurately measured
on the photograph.

is the first time our batteries have
been used in this kind of practice,
and it is also the first time most Of
the officers and men have actually
engaged in mortar practice l look
for everything to go off without a
hitch this afternoon, and | think we
shall make a high score"
At the present time an average of
thirty per cent of hits with mortars
is considered reasonably good work
because mortars can never be con-
sidered absolutely accurate. The re-
suits of yesterdays work is forty per
cent as the record now stands.
The ten record shots yesterday
were fired in nine minutes, forty sec
onds, which is considered excellent
from a time standpoint.
1t was two clock yesterday after
noon before the ten shots for record
from the twelve-inch mortars of Fort
Ruger were made. The various de-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Balboa,
the native town at the Pacific entrance
to the Panama Canal, will soon have
entirely disappeared as consequence
of the work now in progress for dock
improvements. All leases of building
lots in the settlement, made by the
canal commission, have been cancelled,
and the work of tearing down and re-
moving the buildings has begun.
Former holders of lot leases have been
offered land in other localities in
which to build. Where these offers
are accepted, the canal commission
undertakes to transport their building
materials free. Originally there were
