BOOT AND SHOE ExPoRTATloNs
 FROM THE UNITED STATES.

The American shoe manufacturer is extending his sales in all parts of the wo1d. In the fiscal year 1880 we ex- ported less than 100000 pairs of boots and shoes; in 1890. 6o0,O00 pairs: in 1900, over tIree million pairs. in 1905. over i've million pairs; in 1910, over seven million pairs. and in the calen- f1ar year which ends with next month the number will exceed eight million
 pairs, 70 say nothing of the one million pairs going to Porto Rico and Ha
 waii. These figures relate to boots and shoes of leather: while if to this we add those of india-rubber, we get an additional three million, bringing the total number of American made boots and shoes passing out of continental United States in 1911 up to an aver age of million pairs per month, against about a half million per an mum 20 years ago.
 The United Kingdom is the chief rival of the United States in supplying boots and shoes to the world. Her exports of boots ana shoes are still greater both in total number of pairs and total value than those of the Unit ed States, but the growth in her case is far less rapid than that of this coun- try. The number of pairs exported from the United States in 1895 was e65. .1s6, and in 1910, 7.S1e,s03; the num- Der Of pairs exported from the United Kingdom in 1895 was s,os5, ,44O; and in 1910, I3.039, ,65o the percentage Of gain Tn the case of the United Kingdom being 61 per cent.s and in the case of the United States nearly 710 per cent. The value of leather boots and shoes exported from the United States, how ever. IS more nearly identical with that of like exports from the United King dom, having been in the calendar year 1910 SIS 321e, 237. against $14, 4,144,969 for the United Kingdom, the average price per pair of those exported from the United States having been $1.69, against sI.13 for those exported from the United Kingdom.

Currants and grapes and peaches long Hold him enthralled. The siren song Of Spring sends tingles through his
 blood.
 He wants to dabble in the mud; He wants to see vines chamber OCT Where just an ash heap grew before; He pines to plant in one small plot All the seed catalogues have got. Within his heart a voice grows big, And all it says is Dig, dig. dig" So he will dig, and he will know The hope he knew a year ago. He'll SOW enough seeds snug and

 In his back yard to plant a farm; An orchard or a garden there He knows would look surpassing fair The chickens next door wait with glee And wonder which one it will be. Last year his garden was his boast; He got a mess of greens-almost!

abroad which is bound to be inflicted by the misrepresentations of our civic conditions.
 Our own citizens of course know all about these misrepresentations and make allowance for them. But people elsewhere who may read the lurid stories are not in a position to make the necessary allowances for exaggerated statements, and are likely to be convinced that Phoenix is a very sink hole of iniquity. They are not in a position to know that the facts are almost wholly different from the representations. and would there fore be warranted in deciding that Phoenix is not a city in which they would wish to live.
 Why is it that some people-the folks in whom we should expect to see a scrupulous regard for the truth-are sometimes, when their passions are aroused, the most care less of the truth?
 From the standpoint of practical common sense, it is poor politics to peddle stories to the local public which are only a caricature of the facts, for no local voter of ordinary intelligence is misled by these stories. They are only important, therefore, to the extent to which they will hurt the reputation of Phoenix with people who do not live here.
 To the many readers of The Re publican who live in other states, we take pleasure in saying that there is not a more sober, orderly, progress siye, moral, intellectual, and generally attractive city of fourteen thousand people anywhere on earth than this capital city of Arizona.
 And a visit to Phoenix by any per son who has curiosity on the sub feet will develop ample confirmation cf what We say about 1t.

half of the total-made or oak. Southern pine comes next with 21.- 1885, GOO. There were 9.O67. .OOO Douglas fir and 6,797, ,00O western pine. A fea- ture of these statistics, which will seem somewhat surprising in the west, is the large number of hewn ties. for of the grand total only 2S,252.0 900 were sawed, and more than one-fourth of the sawed ties were of Douglas fir. From this timber there were marketed in 1909, ,952, ,OO0 hewn and 7,115,00O sawed ties, all other woods showing a larger number of hewn than sawed ties.
 Not only does the Douglas fir make very poor showing in the nnmber of ties sold in 1909, but it does not do much better in prices While the southern pine, with no better decay resisting qualities, sold at an average price of 52 cents, the average price of the Douglas fir ties was but fl cents. Among the seventy-two species of timber used by the railroads of the United States, this choice of western timber, with the exception of hemlock and beech, was the cheapest tie bought by the railroads that year. The rapidi- ty with which the manufacture f wooden ties is eating into the forests and the great possibilities of a future market are shown in the statement that but 13.3 per cent of the total pur- chases of 1909 were for new track. and in 1908 the purchases but 6.6 per cent for new track
 The total cost O. all of the ties was more than s6O,OOO.OO0 With the ex- haustion of the eastern and southern

The railroad tie is about the cheapest form of lumber into which We convert our magnificent Douglas frs. but a trade which uses s6O.OOOOOO worth of ties per year is worth going after, even by the greatest lumber district in the world.-Portland Oregonian.

What Two Performers" Have Cost
 Arizona.

AIr Charles D. Hines. the new sec retary to the president, gave to the Washington bureau of the New York Tribune the official statement of what the president said on Monday of this week to Congressman Flood and Houston concerning the Arizona con stitution This statement, telegraphed to the Tucson Citizen, follows:
 President Taft made a suggestion to Representatives Flood and Houston of Virginia and Tennessee respectively regarding the constitution of Arizona which should command the support of all true friends in that prospective state. These members called on the president to ask if he would object to legislation. so amending the state hood act as to relieve him of all ne- cessity of approving Arizona's consti- tuition MT Taft told them that inas- much as congress had enacted the legislation it would be well within its rights to amend it, but he sug- gested as a counter proposition a plan, IT,. mand generous support in both houses of congress.
 This suggestion was that congress should adopt a resolution approving the constitution in all respects save that of the recall as applied 10 the judiciary and should provide that this feature be again submitted to the people of Arizona. He expressed the view that in voting for a constitution embodying the recall as applied to the judiciary the people Of Arizona were confronted with the alternative of so doing or of rejecting the con stitution in its entirety. If they were afforded the oppor unity to vote upon that question alone they would, in MT. Tafts estimation, reject it and it is his belief that they should be granted such an opportunity.
 .'Mcssrs. Flood and Houston failed to indicate their views of the presi- dents suggestion although they ap- parentIy came away Srorl the White House predisposed toward their own proposition to take the riatte~ out of the hands of the chief evecutive."
 One of the most interesting facts developed in this statement by the president is. that C. H. Akers and A. F. Parsons are chiefly responsible for the main obstacle which state hood has encountered at Washington.
 This obstacle is the recall of the judiciary.
 If the recall of the judiciary had been left out of the constitution, MT. Taft would have waived his other ob- jections.
 It was the violent speech of Par sons in the constitutional convention which defeated by small majority the proposal to submit the recall of the judiciary to the people as a sep arate clause of the constitution. Be tween sentences in that speech. Par sons, who was being coached from the gallery by Akers, would turn to Akers for encouragement, and this encour- agement he continued to receive from Akers throughout the harangue, in the form of mods and motions to 'go on.' The sideplay was noticed by many people in the gallery
 Without the judiciary recall, it is now plain that the constitution would have been approved at Washington. and further legislation would now be unnecessary.
 Professional reformers are eXpen- sive. but some people seem to think that it is necessary to have them.

ROBBERS LOOT
 EXPRESS TRAIN
THREE MASKED MEN ROB MAIL AND EXPRESS CAR ON THE
 M. K. AND T. ROAD.
Posse With 5Ioodhounds Are On the TraiI-5is Reward Offered by
 the Railway.

Bartlesyille, Okla, October 4- Posses with bloodhounds are spread ing over every section of the coun- try at present in hot pursuit of the three men who about o'clock this morning held up the Missouri, Kan sas and Texas passenger train No. 29, southbound, about two miles from Okesha and robbed the mail and ex- press cars. Little of va.ue was ob- tained, 1t is asserted by the raiircai officials. The robbers, it is thought, believed the train to be carrying a large shipment of Indian money to the Osage tribe. Three hours after the Okesa holdup, three men, be- lieved to have been the same trio, held up and robbed the station agent at Dewey, Okla, northeast of here, and took s46 from him. They then made their escape on foot in a northwesterly direction.
 No. 29 was slowly running through a cut three miles out of Okesa when the train was Jagged. The robbers then crawled over the rear of the engine and their guns leveled at the engineer Jams Matters, and fireman, compelled them to stop, cut the mail and express cars off from the rest of tho train and had them drawn about mile down the cut where they went through the mail and the baggage and express.

SOLDIERS AT

ESCORT sTRlKEBREAKERs OUT OF TOWN AND PATROL THE
 STREETS OF THE CITY
Company Leaves Strikers in Peace. Railways May Invoke the Sherman Antitrust
 Law.

McComb. Miss, October With the enforced departure late this aft ernoon of the last strikebreakers brought here by the Illinois Central Railroad came the first real assur- ance of the restoration of peace after 24 hours of excitement and spas modic rioting.
 The people of McComb City de- manded that the strikebreakers be removed from their community and the 132 men were placed aboard a heavily guarded special train and hurried to New Orleans.
 Sixty soldiers armed with ball cartridges and with orders to shoot to kill" if necessary, accompanied the special train south as far as Mag nola. This action by the military authorities probably prevented am other pitched battle that might have proved more serious than the clash of last night.
 After the strikebreakers had agreed to get out of town at l o'clock the departure of the train was delayed for nearly three hours by protests from the railroad company, and the people of McComb City began to ex- hibit signs of surliness and some show of mob spirit. About half hour before the train left, 3:45, a number of these persons, we'll arm ed, left the city going south and taking up position near the rail- road track on which the special would have to pass en route to New orleans. Strike leaders in automo- piles finally persuaded the men to disband and commit no overt act.
 Three companies of Mississippi Ma. tional Guards patrolled the streets al dark and tonight the belief is ex- pressed that the town will remain quiet.
 If any strikebreaker makes a move to hurl anything from the win dows kill him on the spot; if the rain is fired upon at any time We will return the fire and you will ahoot to kill.
 These final orders were given just  before the departure of the special train by Major George Hoskins of Brookhayen, who was placed in
 harge of the soldiers aboard.
 The strikebreakers were glad to get away from the town.
