main, and an. enlargement of the
scope Of the department Of the inte-
rior through increased appropriations
by congress, was the tenor of Secre.
tary Walter L. Fishers annual report
Of that department to President Taft,
which was made public here today.
Shows Our Needs.
Secretary Fisher held the modifica.
ton of present laws relating to nat.
ural resources and the enactment OF
new laws affecting public lands to be
Of the most Importance. He called
attention to the hack of adequate laws
for the proper administration and dis.
position Of public lands and natural
resources, especially as they are en-
braced within the public domain, and
again urged the adoption of such
measures.
Especially did he plead for legisla.
ton looking toward "the classified.
ton of public lands, according to
their respective characteristics and
appropriate uses" and stated that
they should then be administered or
disposed of in accordance with their
real classification under the law. The
present system Of classification was
not flexible enough to provide for the
proper administration, he stated
Points to Alaska.
In commenting ON the situation in
Alaska. the secretary said. that the
whole Of that territory was awaiting
the passage Of suitable legislation for
the development Of its transportation
facilities and coal lands. He made
recommendations for the accomplish.
ment of this exploitation.

A caustic arraignment of the lax
methods prevalent among the railroad
companies Of the United States with
reference to providing suitable pro-
lection for their passengers and en-
ployes was the keynote of the annual
commission, made public today. The
report stated that the total number
Of casualties for the year on steam
roads was 1SO,123, of which 1O,5s5
persons were killed and 169,55S were
injured These figures represented
an increase Of fS9 in fatalities and
1879 in minor accidents over the
preceding year.

81. n. Higanbotham says that it is a fact that hundreds of
small storekeepers become insolvent before they know it, and they
believe themselves prospecting until aroused to their actual condi
ton by the credit man of some Wholesale or jobbng house.
One of the rocks on which thousands of small storekeepers are
wrecked is that of failure to figure the cost of their goods properly
It is no exaggeration to say that not one in a thousand figures the
cost of the merchandise he sells adequately. He fails to include In
his estimate some important item of fixed expense.
For example, if he owns his store building, he figures that he
is saving the entire item of rent. and so does not include this in his
fixed running expense; because he has a son in the store, he makes
no charge for his services in his salary account
OF course, not all are so careless, yet in going over their &C
counts it lis unusual to find any interest charged on the money IN
vested outside of such sums as may be actually borrowed on which
they art compelled to pay interest Drayage is another item which
is usually not charged to the cost of the goods if paid to a public
dray, and is even less liable to be charged where the hauling is done
by the delivery wagon of the merchant
If a man has $4,000 invested in a business and makes only
$500 in a year, he has come out just even, for a good bond would
would have paid him the same. If he has not put himself on the
salary list, he is out his own salary, as he could have made that
salary had the money been invested in the bond and he had leisure
to accept a position with some other firm.
