DEFICIT
STILL GROWING

WASHINGTON, December 31.-The
dying year 1911 is beQueathing the
federal government materially in
creased deficit as compared with the
close of 1910, to be wiped out if pos
sible during the remaining half of the
current fiscal year. The general fund,
representing the available resources of
the treasury, showed a big growth,
due to the sale of S5O,OOO,OO in Pan
anna canal bonds.
While Secretary MaeVeagh had not
received complete returns when the
treasury closed it's doors yesterday, 1t
is known that the disbursements ex-
/ ceeded the receipts during the last
six months, exclusive of the Panama
canal financial operations, by about
1922. 100000, while during the CORE
spending period last year the deficit
Yves only S3,S7O,O00. The principal
causes of the increased deficit were a
falling off of probably $1O,000,00O in
customs receipts and an increase OF
about $7,O0OOOO in the cost of the
navy during the last half year, as
COMPARED with the same period In

received from customs receipts dur
ing the last six months, while at the
close of December last year this
source of revenue had yielded $162,

900 900 to date this year. The dis
bursements during the first half OF the
last fiscal year we're $63,O00,O0O.
The month of December made
particularly poor showing, its dehci

GREAT GAINS

SEATTLE, December 31.-Alaskan
products for the year just ended
reached a total value of S3S,0O0,000,
an increase of more than $6,O00,000
over the preceding year. The total
figures have just been compiled by

The increase is evenly divided be-
tween fisheries and mines. The prod
ucts of the mines amounted in the

total valuation of S16,5O0,0O0. The

Especial Correspondence of The Starr
WASHINGTON, December ~
Western horsemen will be interested
in bulletin just issued on the prog
ress of the army remount problem.
The mounted service in the regular
army is now being supplied with
horses which are bought young, de-
veloped and trained at the remount
depots, and issued to troops at four
and one-half to five years of age, prop.
erly trained and ready for work. At
the remount depots, which were es-
tablished in 1908, horses are pur-
chased direct from the breeder at
about $3.50 for three-year-old UNI
broken colts and somewhat less for
two-year-olds. OF a bunch of two
year-old colts purchased in Wyoming
in 1910 and taken to the remount sta
ton at Fort Reno, the report says:
These colts are now three years
old and have made satisfactory prog
ress. The average height of the
Wyoming colt is fifteen hands; aver
age weight, S64 pounds; average
growth, about two inches; increase in
weight, forty-eight pounds. Practi-
cally all this gain has been in the last
few months. These colts at five years
of age should average well above 49,

RUSSIANS AGAINST
TARIFF WAR

ST. PETERSBURG, December 3d.
Protests addressed to the Central
Council against the suggestion of a
tariff war on the United States are ar
irving from all sides. Representatives
of the commercial and industrial So
cieties have unanimously repudiated
the idea. At a meeting of the council
yesterday there were present NJ. Tint

NJ. Avdakoff, a member of the state
council and a great authority on in

and weigh 1850 to 100 pounds They
cost 500 per head, and it cost $25
per head to forage them from August
30, 1910, to June 1 1911, making the
cost of colts at three years of age
$125."
Under the contract system of pur.
chasing horses, western animals
failed to find favor with many army
men, largely because these animals
had been broken for other purposes,
we're full of fire and difficult to han
die, because that is the sort of mount
the average westerner needs. Under
the remount system, however, the
western horse is taken unbroken,
and his excellent qualities trained 10
army service with most satisfactory
results. The prejudice against west
ern horses for army use is rapidly
disappearing, and with a recognition
of the splendid wind, endurance and
ability to thrive on almost any kind Of
forage, this animal is being regarded
with greater favor as his worth is bet
ter known.
To mount the army on a war basis
it Is estimated that $4,000 horses
would be required and advocates of
the remount system urge that these
depots should secure and properly
train at least that number for use in
emergencies.
