SEWING MACHINEI
EXPORTS ARE BIG
They Will Probably Aggre.
gate Ten Million Dollars
This Fiscal Year.


WASHINGTON. D. c., May 1s-
Sewing machine exports in the cur
rent fiscal year will make their
highest record and will probably az
gregate ten million dollars. over
16O million dollars worth have been
exported from the United States dur
ing the forty-eight years since the
official record Of their commercial
movement began, of which sum
eighty million dollars worth, or
one-half OF the total, were exported
In the brief period since 1900.
Figures compiled by the Bureau
of Statistics of the Department of
Commerce and Labor, indicate that
sewing machines have for many
years been an important factor Of
the export trade. In 1864, the ear
lieet year for which a record is avail
able, the exports amounted to ST.
oS2,70S. in 1872 $2.436, 0s5; in
1882 $2.647!515: in 1892 Ss,1sS,-
SOP; in 1902 s4.o22,Bs7; and in
1912 will probably show total of
S1o,0oo,o0O, TIE steady and sub
stantial character of the growth is
even more apparent from a study of
the movement by decades. In the
period from 1854 to 1870 the ex-
ports of sewing machines aggregated
a little over ten million dollars; in
the decade 1S71-sO. eighteen million;
in the decade OF 1880, twenty-six
million; in the decade 1Ss1-1sOO,
over thirty million; in the decade
dsO1-10. more than sixty-one mil
lion, the averae yearly exports be-
ing thus increased from / 1-2 mil
lion dollars in 1854 to over six mil
lions in the decade ending with
1910, with indications that the cur
rent year vii record a total of ap-
proximately $10,o0O,e0O.
The growth in exports of American
SEWN machines reflects the develop
ment of the domestic industry, the
value of its product having increased
from S4.40SJ2O6 In 1860 to over
$9s. 100000 in 1909.

MERGER
Of the Traction Systems in
This Section Takes
Place.
u Is now the n. Y. 7. G.

At special meeting Of the stock.
holders of the Fairmont and clarks.
burg Traction Company, the Fair.
mont and Northern Traction Com.
pany and the clarksburg and wes-
ton Electric Railway Company. the
holdings of the three concerns were
merged into the Monongahela VAL
ley Traction Company, which will
operate them in the future. There
will be no change in the manage
ment or in the official board of the
new company. the merger being for
the purpose of expediting the opera
tion of the lines and to do away
with the many individual com.
panies which are owned by the same
interests.
The NJ. v. T. C. win operate in
the neighborhood OF 100, miles OF
electric road and will, have in course
of construction the line between
clarksburg and Weston which will
be an important one and which 1t will
cost great deal OF money to con-
struct.
One of the objects of the merger
is to place the company in better
position to secure the funds neces-
sary to build the Weston line, the
northern line and other roads that
are being contemplated, including
the one from Clarksburg to Salem.
Many important Improvements to
the service are being planned for the
Fairmont end and announcement OF
some OF these will made during the
summer.
The stockholders meeting was
held in the Fairmont offices of the
company in the Watson building
Thursday. The plan has been en-
tirely worked out by the attorneys
of the company and it required
less than half an hour to merge the
three great concerns into. the new
company.
The merger will require quite an
outlay for new stationery. new
forms and new tickets, as well as
for the re-lettering of the cars Of
the various companies. This, how
ever. has all been arranged for and
within short time the titles of the
old concerns viii, be lost to view

BUILDING
Movement Here is Begun by
the Divisional Officer
from Pittsburg.

I With the arrival here Thursday
of Major Samuel Withers, OF the Sal
walton Army, from his headquarters
in Pittsburg, a building fund cam
paign was started by the local corps
of the army. 1t is hoped to raise
money with which to erect a build
ing to be used for permanent army
home in this city.
Major Withers is Divisional officer
Of the army, having jurisdiction over
West Virginia, eastern Ohio and
western Pennsylvania, and is one of
the most forceful speakers engaged
in the Salvation Army work. He
viii address meeting tonight in
the Salvation Army hall at 100 West
Pike street and during a stay of two
days viii make other addresses. All
are invited to hear him. The meet
ings will be free.
Captain Martha Watkins, charm
ing singer, of the army corps at Van
Vert, O., will arrive here Friday
morning and assist in the campaign.
1t is believed the time is ripe for
the erection of an army building
here. Such buildings have been
erected at Huntington and Charles
ton and it is thought the peo-
pie here are in such hearty sympathy
with the local work of the army as
to make the building campaign sue
cessful.

STEELE
As a Candidate for Nomina-
ton is Strong in County
Friends Say.

In the candidacy of Wesley L..
Steele for the nomination for sheriff
on the Republican ticket the voters
OF Harrison county have a man, his
friends say. who as the nominee,
would draw the full strength Of the
party in the election this fall, since
Mr.. Steele's record both as private
citizen and business man is without
spot or blemish and his Republican
ism is true and unwaverlng. He is
recognized by all who know him as
gentleman particularly fitted for,
an important position of this kind
because OF his courteous and success
full manner in dealing with the pub
lie and his executive ability gained
by many years of business life.
Born and reared in Tenmile dis
trict, Mr.. Steele is one Of the best
known men in that section and
there are few men in the district
with whom he has not had buriness
dealings. This fact is one of the
strongest points in favor OF his can
didacy, for his scrupulous honesty
and his disposition to be fair can
be attested by all with whom he
has had dealings. He has always
stood for a square deal.
Mr.. Steele is in the forty-second
year of his life. He has been a resi-
dent of Salem the last eight years,
previous to which he resided on al
farm near that city. He has pur-
chased wool and lambs the last sew
eral years in connection with his
other business. Soon after moving
to Salem he engaged in the feed
business which he followed until a
short time ago, when he sold out.
Mr.. Steele has never aspired to
nor held public Office before with
the exception of having been elected
as member OF the board of edu-
cation several years ago and a.
member of the county executive
committee, He has always been a
consistent party man and steady
worker for the success of the party
in whose principles he believes.
$ 1t was not until much pressure
was brought to bear by loyal friends
throughout the county that Mr..
Steele consented to become a candi-
date. and as he is considered a most
deserving Republican and an emf
nently qualified candidate, and his
friends are very sanguine of his
success at the June primary election.
Since going to Sa'em he has become
identified with the progress of that
city and with several of its principal
enterprises, being director in the
First National Bank and some other
important concerns. He is a mem
Der of the Salem Masonic, knights
OF Pgthias and other fraternal or
carnations. He is a liberal con-
tributor to religious institutions.
AS a citizen Mr.. Steele enjoys the
esteem and friendship of all his
neighbors. HIS private life is cor
rect, his habits being temperate AMI
his disposition cordial and pleasant.
He is undoubtedly strong candi-
date and II successful at the pri-
mary he will poll the full party
vote and his administration. the
Telegram fees safe in saying. will
be one to which the party may vel
point with pride.
