LAST YEARS BUSINESS
LESS THAN PREDECESSORS
Improvement in Final Quarter
However, Makes Outlook
Bright For 1912.
THE YEARS RECORD.

The annual review OF r. c. Dun q
Co., makes the following comment on
the above table OF figures indicating
the course OF business for the year:
The year just closed was one of
reasonable activity for year in
which great economic issues were the
subject OF controversy at home, and
a revolution in China, a war between
Italy and Turkey, and a dispute over
Morocco that involved France. Ger
many and England combined TO un-
settle the international money mar
Eets. IL was a year in which the In
land trade in volume was OF more
than fair proportions. and the foreign
commerce notably larger than in any
preceding year. Measured by bank
clearings and railroad earnings, l9lr
was under that OF 1910, yet the re-
duction was SO slight as to indicate
no pronounced loss OF ground. Bust
ness fairly held its own. Consumption
was not equal to productive capacity,
and in some instances was far below
il, and yet labor was well employed
at Lood wages.
"The loudest complaints come from
invested capital, to the effect that
existing uncertainties made II impos-
prises. Nevertheless, dividend and
interest payments during the year
make an aggregate in excess OF other
years.
THE most notable event OF 1911,
from the standpoint of national well
fare. was the enormous cotton crop,
believed TO exceed 100000 bales;
the benefcent effect OF this can
scarcely be everest mated. Already
the magnitude of the crop ID serving
tn bring about more normal condi-
tons in the long depressed cotton
goods trade, which is now manifest
Ing many signs OF revival.
"The grain crops did not redeem
the bright promise of early summer
and were reduced In quantity, put
were Of greater value than In l9lo.
"The sudden revival in the iron and
steel trade in the last three months
OF the year overshadows In import
ance the preceding depression, especl-
ally as II was brought about by the
significant buying OF rails and equip
ment by leading railroads. There was
also a late but pronounced improve
ment in copper.
THE foreign trade was OF remark
able dimensions, and especially not
able for the growth or exports, Que
In no small part, to the more lntelll-
gent and persistent pursuit OF foreign
markets by manufacturers and mer-
chants. This contributed nightly TO
the strength OF the United States In
the international money markets.
There was a reduction In aggregate
liabilities OF defaulting concerns. This
demonstrated that the position was
sound in spite OF changes brought
about by new conditions. 1t is note
worthy that the last three months
we're the best OF the year--a proof OF
improving conditions-the progressive
oetterment being the best promise for
he new year"

He has Been Rewarded All He ii
Deserving OF.

81 am a trimmer Humphreys press
bureau has been industriously labOring
overtime lately in sending out political
dope to the country newspapers that
in almost every instance finds it's way
into the wastebasket. One of the
points sought to be made is that Sc
attic will retard her commercial
growth at least decade if this most
valuable servant is not rewarded as
he justly should be-"
Well-in the first place, Seattle is
not the whole thing in the first dis
trict.
Secondly, Dan Landon will look al
ter the interests of not only Seattle.
but every city, town and hamlet in
the district in an efficient and cred
liable manner, with honor to himself
and ALL of the people of the dis
trict and the state. He will not be
the hired man of a favored class, OF
silk stocking, high-hOrse brigaders,
but the real representative of the peo-
pie.
Thirdly, Humphrey has been reward
ed all he deserves to be and the edict
has gone forth from his constituency
that he must stay at home this time,
because the people, the men and wo-
men, who pay the taxes want man
of their own to represent them at
Washington as their public servant,
and that man will be Dan Landon.

Roofs Conscience.

Senator Elihu Root, of New York,
presided at the convention which re-
nominated Taft for president and con-
trolled and directed the forces accomp.
fishing the theft. 1t was he who was
dominant in the fight against Roose-
welt. What sincerity is his? What
must be in the mans heart of hearts?
Here is his declaration as made in
1904 in an address before the Union
League Club of New York:
II count it, my friends, as one OF
the greatest privileges Of my life to
have been able in that day of our
great sorrow. when our lamented
President Mckinley was carried away.
to have been able to stand by and hold
up the hands of his true and loyal sue
cessor, Theodore Roosevelt. Men say
he is not safe He is not safe for the
men who wish to prosecute selfish
schemes for the public detriment, but
I say to you that he has been, these
years since President Mckinley 8
death, the greatest conservative force
for the protection of property and
our institutions in the City of Wash
ington. l would rather have my boys
taught to admire as the finest thing
in our life the honesty and frankness,
the truth and loyalty, the honor anu
devotion of Theodore Roosevelt than
to have all the wealth OF this great
metropolis. The work OF president
Roosevelt has more weight for good
in this land than that Of any score
of all of his detractors put together.

James w. Collins, of Seattle, pro-
gressive candidate for state insurance
commissioner, points with pride to the
fact that he received majority in the
primary over both his opponents. One
of the measures which Mr.. Collins
stands for as a candidate is the re-
peal of section of the insurance code
which he says makes it possible for a
commissioner who is opposed to fra
ternal insurance societies to Cypress
them. Mr.. Collins is an able account
ant, one of the best posted authori-
ties on insurance and insurance laws
in the state, and is deserving of the
suffrage of the people.

The real treasure is that laid up by

Through charity and piety, temper

The treasure thus hid is secure, and

Let the wise man do good deeds-the

Disreputable Nonsense.

Keep in mind the WhatcOm Coun-
ty fair at Lynden next week. And do
not get an idea from the utterly dis
reputable treatment of some of the
business men of Bellingham by the
Lynden Tribune that Lyndenites are
hostile to this city. Most of them are
wholesouled and hosptable and the
trip to the fair will be enjoyable. -
American Reveille.

that? utterly disreputable," bosh!

whose unholy schemes to deprive the

Verify, the Tribune does not expect
members of this class to cuddle very
close to it, but if any business man OF
Bellingham or elsewhere has griev-
-ance against this newspaper, we eX-
tend him a cordial invitation to come
In and talk it over when he visits the
fair this week, and he may be assured
of a square deal.

There may be some people In Bell

Judge Kellogg as superior Judge. The

If elected, and acting on the
board of equalization, it will be my
aim to have all corporations. large

stances will l vote to lower the as
