mans property for liquor and seize

ing to decision by Judge r. F. Camp
bell in the United States circuit court

THIRTY MILLIONS
IN AUTOMOBILES

Thirty million dollars worth of
American automobiles found markets
abroad last year, against less than l
million dollars worth ten years ago.
Figures just completed by the division
of statistics of the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce show that the
|exports of automobiles to foreign coun.
tries, in the fiscal year 1912 were valu-
ed at 2lh million dollars, and of parts
thereof, including tires, 6% million dol
lars. If to this were added the ship
|ments to Hawaii and Porto Rico. we
get for the years sales of American
automobiles outside of continental
United States a round 80 million dol
lars, since the value of automobiles
and parts thereof sent to Porto Rico
wos nearly l million dollars and to
the Hawaiian Islands little over
million dollars The total number of
machines exported to foreign countries
was 21,757, valued at $21,55O,139, aver
aging slightly less than $1,000 each:
while those to the noncontiguous terri
tory were higher, averaging $1,000
each.
The export price of American auto
mobiles in 1912 averaged less than in
any earlier year in the history of the
export trade, The average for 1912.
dividing the total number of machines
exported into stated value, was 1890
each, against $1,100 in 1911, 81 $3.50 in
1910, $l,700 in 1909, and $3.50 in 1908.
On the import side, the automobiles
imported last year amounted to but
about , million dollars in value. against
more than 4 million in 1907. The av-
erage import value of the automobiles
brought into the country last year was
S2,216 each, against $2,13s in 1911. |
Sl,936 in 1910 $1,7SS in 1909, and 81
592 in 1908 Thus the export price of
American machines has fallen from
$3.50 in 1908 to 1890 in 1912. while /
the import price of foreign automo-
Oiles entering the country has only fall !
len from S2392 in 1908 to $2,216 in /
1912, the reduction in price on the ex-
port side being AZ per cent, and on the
import side but per cent.
Even the remarkable growth in the /
exports of American automobiles not
I'd above has not kept pace with the
growth in production at home. since
he census of 1900 showed the value
If automobiles manufactured in the
United States in 1899 at $4.74S,000,
While that of 1910 showed S249,202, 600
rs the value manufactured in 1909.
Phe wages paid in the automobile in
iustry, as shown by the census re-
BORT, aggregated s1,321 900 in 1899 and
'4S,694 600 in 1909; the capital employ
ID in the industry in 1899, S5, 769 900
md in 1909, $17S,S37, 900; and the num-
Ter of wage earners employed, in 1899,
',241, and in 1909, 1921.
English-speaking people are the
.hief purchasers of American automo-
'iles. OF the 21,757 exported in 1912,
',2SS went to Canada, 5,716 to the
United Kingdom, and 1926 to Aus

AS a decorative adjunct to the IN.

credited with recognizing and availine

from the east to the west women have
been taught also how useful the
screen can be in decorative scheme.
by screen perhaps one insensibly
means the usual fourfold arrangement.
but 1t is also meant to convey the
nnely carved and artistically designed
oak or similar wood erection which
one find sometimes used instead Of
doors. But such screen must be In
the right place, and decorators have
long since realized how fine an effect
can be produced by the right kind of
screen in the right place.
And now architects are commencing
to know its value, and in modern
houses the screen is, to a certain ex-
tent, replacing the old-fashioned door.

Ioday the four leaf screen has per.
maps reached a eliminating point in
artistic conception, and in the exouis-
lite handwork which distinguished the
screens which come to America from
Japan, although there are many beau
tlful examples which are made here.
For instance, for Louis XIV. draw
ing room nothing could be more In har-
mon with the period than a screen in
tapestry.
Inc latest Japanese screens are the
work of artists who understand and
appreciate the blending of the most
neilcate and the most crude colors.
and the result is masterpiece of
needlework.

Ifhe matter 0f Alaskan development.
The policy Of the Department Of the
interior, as enumerated by Fisher, is to
bring the NEUTRAL resources of the
country to the people I'm particular
he cited his plan for opening govern
ment coal bearing lands to municipal
titles without charge il the coal mined
! is sold to the people or used by the
city.
Views on Alaska.
Fisher discussed the development of
Alaska at length. He said in its clos
ing hours Congress gave to Alaska
full territorial government and pro-
yfded for railroad commission,
which has left washington to in
vestigate the transportation ques-
lions of the islands. This commission
lis composed of an army engineer, an
officer of the navy, q member Of the
geological survey and civil engin-
Ger. who is a practical railroad build
er, selected from private life. One of
the questions to be considered is that
of expeditfng coal mining for the navy,
which wants 100000 tons a year.
Il think the best route for a rail-
road from tidewater to the Yukon
would be from Seward and Resurrec-
ton bay, through the coal fields to
FAIRBANKS, said Fisher.
Regarding the development of the
coal mines Of Alaska, he said:
After my visit to Alaska last year
4 recommended the passage of liberal,
weIlsguarded leasing laws for the de-
velopment of the Alaska mines. But
there was too much politics at the,
last session of Congress for the laws
to pass. The director Of mines, in
conference with members OF the Amer
lean mining congress and practical,
hard headed mining operators. investi:
gated the conditions in. Alaska and a
leasing law bill was prepared and
submitted TO both houses Of Congress.
1t was reported fayorably by the Sem
ate committee on public lands, but
got no further. / hope it win be taken.
up and passed. ~
The policy of the government in
the West has been to withdraw all
lands believed to contain coal, have
them appraised by the geological sur
Vey and sold at a fair valuation. The
policy in regard to the Alaska coal
fields is to secure legislation that will
enable the government to lease the.
lands on a tonnage royalty basis, with
provisions that the coal be mined in
regard to the safety Of the operators
and to prevent waste.
Protection for Leasers.
The leasing proposition is in ac4
cordance with the usual method fol-
lowed by coal miners. The operators
seldom own the mines they work, leas
ing them for operations, Whether
operators lease from the government
or from private owners makes little
difference. The leasers are to be pro-
tected by having the right to renewal
of leases"
Secretary Fisher said he was in IA
Vor, of turning over government coal
fields without charge to, any munici-
pality empowered by State law to OPP
crate mine, if the coal be mined to
be sold to the consumers in the town
or. for town purposes. The city of
Grand. Junction, Colo, Fisher said, had
