INCREASED IMPORTS OF
BEEF; DECREASED EXPORTS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE re-
cent transfer of United States from
the small list of beef-exporting coun-
tries to the large list of beef-import-
ing countries is sharply illustrated by
the August figures of imports and ex-
ports of beef and beef cattle and 1
comparison thereof with the August
figures of caller years just made by
the Bureau, of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce of the Department of Com
merce. This shows that the exports
of beef and beef cattle have fallen
from $44,00O,000 dollars value in
the eight months ended with August,
1904, to practically one million in
the corresponding months of 1919,
and that the imports of cattle mean
time increased from 1857 in the
eight months of 1904 to 340,1O5 in
the same period of 1913, and their
value from $1S1,145 in 1904 to So
031,842 in 1913. AS to beef, the i'm
portations in 1904 were sufficient
to justify their statement month bv
month, and the total value of beef
imported for consumption in the full
fiscal year 1904 was but $14,922
while the single month of July, 1918.
showed total importations of 642, 1874
pounds, valued at $56,993; August,
total of 1,151,626 pounds, valued at
$S9,2O4; and September about an
equal amount. ..... 81.
Even the value of the comparative
ly small number of cattle imported is
now less per head than in caller
years, despite the general advance in
prices meantime. The average ex-
port price of the 1909 head of cat
tie in the eight months ended with
August, 1913, was $34, against an
average of $6S for the 41S,S65 head
or cattle exported in the correspond
ing months of 1904. On the import
side there is a decrease of about 20
per cent in the valuation per head,
the 34O,1O5 cattle imported in the
eight months ended with August
1913 being valued at SIS per head,
compared with $19 per head for the
1887 cattle imported in the CORE
spending months of 1904. The char
acter of the cattle imported differs,
OF course radically from that of those
exported, Ling mostly, on the export
side, granted animals, ready for
Strengthening, and on the import side.
CRASHED cattle in many cases but
one or two years of age. Practically
all of the cattle imported, other than
those for breeding purposes, are
brought from Mexico, that country
having supplied, in the fiscal year
1918 39l,477 of the 420,261 head i'm
ported for other than breeding pur-
poses. OF the 1888 imported for
breeding purposes, free of duty, 945
were from England.
Imports of beef snow remarkable
gains within the very recent period
In the fiscal year 1904 the quantity
OF beef imported for consumption was
$4,000 pounds, valued at $14,922
against 923,37S pounds valued at
$61'l1O in the fiscal year 1910, and
3'S57,7OO pounds valued at $303,934
in 1913, while in the single months
OF July and August the imports ag
gregate 642,394 pounds and 1,151,-
626 pounds, respectively and partial
returns indicate that the September
figures will also approximate one mil
lion pounds.

TOOK PROMOTERS TOO MUCH
ON THE BASIS OF HOT AIR
English Bond Buyer Says Investors
Lack Faith in Some of the Idaho
ProDositiOns. New Yorker in State
For Several Days Investigating.
.(Pocatello Tribune)


Robert A. Chaplin of New York
who has been in Idaho for several
days looking Gfter the interest of in
vestors in England whom he induced
to invest in irrigation securities, has
evidently given the matter deep
thought and in an interview given
the Statesman presents the Situation
from the viewpoint of the investor in
a way to arouse deep interest among
all responsible for the operation Of
irrigation projects and the sale of ir-
rigation bonds.
81 Mr.. Chaplin appeared before the
state land board in the past week
after making careful. personal in
spection of conditions on the King
Hill and Medbury projects. He spoke
with frankness to the members of the
board telling them why many irriga-
ton securities are now looked upon
with suspicion by the investing public
both in England and America.
In his interview Mr.. Chaplin says:
Having taken at their face value
representations that the Carey act
and the laws of Idaho provided safe
basis for the investment of money,
sold in England some bonds of irri-
cation companies. When these COM
panies failed to pay the interest on
these bonds, came out here to find
out why, in order to be able to ad-
wise the bondholders what they
should do.
II found the situation entirely diff
ferent from what expected.
1.-THE security of the bonds is based
upon contract between the company
and the state land board which con-
tract is based upon a contract be-
tween the United States and the state
of Idaho.
THE state land board is composed
of officials, whose other duties take
so much of their time, that it is i'm
possible for them to give the atten-
ton to affairs on the various projects
necessary to really know what should
be done.
r II had supposed the position of the
land board was that of trustees for
both the settlers and the bondholders
but find that the officials who made
the contract. are out of office, and
that the settlers are bringing politi-
cal pressure to bear to have the pres
ent officials interpret the contracts
in their favor, especially where the
systems although constructed accord
ing to specifications approved by the
state engineer, had been found in
operation defective in capacity or
durability, or both.
The settlers also while refusing to
make payments called for by their
agreement, we're demanding improve
ments involving large expenditures to
be paid for by someone besides them
selves, although they get all the in
creased value that would accrue TO
the land, and the systems are in the
meatime being operated by the COM
panies at cost largely in excess of
the amount they can collect from the
settlers for maintenance.
Much emphasis was laid upon the
supposed first mortgage lein upon
land and water that the laws gave as
security for the money loaned, while
as a matter of fact the title to the
land was still in the United States,

MANUFACTURES are of
III two kinds the honest
and dishonest. The one
makes the best goods. the
other makes the worst. Each
has his own particular
scheme of life.
The honest manufacturer
aims to make the best goods
he can and to advertise them
so that all the world will
know Of their merits. He
courts Investigation. He
wants customers to hold him
to a rigid accountability.
The dishonest manufactur.
er hopes to profit by decep-
ton. He produces an article
that will be offered as lust

a larger profit than the hon.

His Own Life.

Showing little concern over his deed,

tecting girl and saving his own life.
william ]. Fisher, in his cell at the

went to washington.
Tried To Attack Girl.
Miss Reese. a girl they took out of an
orphan asylum about a year ago, was
left at home. Last night I returned
home about 8 o'clock. and went In the
back entrance. There I saw Altdorfer.
half-dressed. talking to Miss Reese In
the kitchen.
''She told me that he had made i'm
proper proposals to her. that he was
drunk. and carrying on awfuDyr I
then went upstairs a moment, and
came down directly. The girl went to
the front room. Altdorfer followed her.
and tried to attack her. At the same
time he made an ugly remark.
Then I jumped In and grabbed him
by the throat with the aid OF a neishbor
named Turner, who Just then came
in. We went down together. Then
1 let him up, and he sat quiet in the
chair for a minute or two. Turner went
home. Suddenly Altdorfer jumped up
and made plunge for my throat.
Struck Him With Shears.
Then all I could do was to protect
myself-for he was a great deal bigger
than I-so 1 just picked up the shears
and struck him.
Then a neighbor came In. and teie-
phoned the officials. I told them I had
nothing to conceal, and that did It
only in self-defense. / said I'd 60 with
them II they wanted me.
'I know IN go free. They can't hold
me after they hear the girls story, for
I think I had a right to protect the
girl and myself"

ECZEMA ON CHILD'S FACE

my little boy broke out on the face
with that terrible disease. eczema,
when he was just one month old, and
just thought sure it would kill him.
as it killed our other baby at five
months old. II would break out in
pimples and scab over, and he cried
day and night. | thought that there
was no cure for him at all. His face
would itch and burn so bad that I had
to tie his little hands down so he could
not scratch his face.

treated until he was seven months old
and he got worse all the time. / sent
