The annual review of trade com,
piled by X. G, Dun & Co.. says, in

Even early in the year there were
signs OF returning business confidence
and ACTIVITY. Later the big crops con.
nrmed the early tendency and gave
TO 1912 the distinction OF being one
OF the great prosperity years OF Amer

produced by the new wealth created
out OF the soil was more potent than
all the doubts inspired by foreign
vars and domestic politics; and com.

merchandise were depleted and needs

PARIS Jan. 3--Maurice walefre, di-
rector of the Paris Midi says that
should Emperor Francis Joseph OF AVIS :

sleeping spells, the Austrians would
occupy Belgrade, the Servian capital.
within "a hours.
The emperor Is SO years old. and
during his sleeping spells the court
fiocks about the heir TO the throne.
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, who IL
sues orders, speaks as a master and
commands the generals.
The old ruler awakes at intervals
and IL lucid and firm, giving his en-
tourago the impression that he still
has reign OF 10 years before him"
says NJ. Walefre. The ante cha IN be rs
are empty. and the debated generals
hunt the rat holes In which they live.
Then the emperor relapses INTO
sleep. Perhaps it IL the end. The gen
erals come out OF their holes, timidly
at FIRST, and then blusterinKly.
That IL why Austria mobiIized and
why II does not demobilize."

FAMOUS TUG COMING
 TO GYPSUM WITH TOW


 SEATTLE, Sept. Allowing the Al laska Barge company's big barge St. James, the Puget Sound Tugboat com pany's crack tug Tatoosh left Seattle for Gypsum, Alaska, yesterday, in com mand of Capt. J. Jacobsen. The Ia toosh will deliver the St. James at Gypsum with a large cargo, includ- ing two immense steel ore chutes to be installed in the Bunkers of the Pa cifc Coast Gypsum company in the North
 The Tatoosh is locally famous as the tug with which Capt. Buck" Bail ey two years ago saved the steamship Washington from going to destruction on the rocks near the mouth of the Columbia river in a storm.

 The Goliah will follow the Tatoosh to Alaska. The Goliah will go to Dun das to tow the barge Harvester from that port to Seattle.
