Four Million More.

The progress of the Philippines In

phasized in the reports from the archi-

more prosperous than they have been
at any period since Magellan touched
their shores three centuries ago.
The exports for the fiscal year ended

which Is huge gain over the record
SGT In 1910, Of 1884, ,169 The maximum

American occupation was $2b,671,322. For
the first time In the history of the is
lands, copra occupies first place among
$751; ,749.
Hemp, for many years in first place,
now falls to second, the total value Of
the commodity exported for the year

pected In the near future.
