IN the new tariff scheme the
duties on raw pfneappIes are changed
as follows: Pineapples. from y cents
to 6 cents per cubic foot capacity on
barrels or packages: from IS to So
fper thousand in bulk. There is
nothing about a change in the duty on
preserved fruits, which is cents q
pound. Last year the shipments of
raw pineapples to the mainland
amounted IN value to So, 25S, as com
pared with a value Of $3.329,O97 in
canned pineapples, so that thet re-
duction of duty on the raw fruit is
unimportant to the territory.

One Of the pleasant affairs given
on Halloween was 4 party at the
home Of Miss Lucille DeVere.
The home was tastefully decorated
with garlands Of autumn leaves,

lantern. The guests were bubbling
over with good humor and were
arrayed in the proper "spook'
costumes. The evening was most
enjoyably spent in music, games

M. Barr. Miss DeVere favored
her guests with many splendidly
interpreted musical selections from
the grand old masters, and last
but not least, came dainty lunch

come at least once a week.

U. S. TRADE WITH RUSSIA.
Direct Trade in 1912 Was $4,000, 600
Total Sso.ooo.ooo.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 29.--The Rus
sian empire, covering one-seventh OF the
land area of the globe and only sparse
" settled in spite of its nearly 100000
900 inhabitants, offers an interesting
subject for study for both business men
and economists. This country to-day
presents picture of economic develop
ment comparable with that of the United
States of three or four generations ago,
in that Russia is now chiefly producer
of the raw materials derived from ma
ture, such as grain, timber, hides, and
minerals, and is just beginning to devel-
op manufacturing industries of impor-
tance. Its exports are almost entirely
foodstuffs and raw and semi-manufac-
tured products, while it imports nearly
all of the higher grades of manufac-
lures which its people require.
The toteI value of the foreign trade
of European Russia, in 1912, according
to official figures, was more than 81 ,200,-
100000, in which the United States par
ticipated to the extent of only 53,000,-
900. However, the indirect trade be-
tween the two countries passing through
foreign middlemen brings the value of
the sales of American products to Rus
STA to SS0,000000, and the exports from
Russia to the United States to $30,000,-
600. Largely owing to the lack of khowl-
edge among American business men of
the possibilities OF the Russian market,
the trade between the two countries is
on the threshold only of its possible de-
velopment. The monograph on Russia
Just published by the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, of the depart
ment OF commerce, entitled Handbook
on Russia" should therefore be of spe-
cial interest.
This book contains nearly 260 pages,
with two maps, and includes compare
tive description of the economic situa-
ton in European Russia, by Consul Cen
eral John II. Snodgrass, stationed at
Moscow; reviews of the commerce of
various districts in 1912, by the Ameri-

INVESTIGATION BY CONGRESS.
Of Conditions in Copper Country o.
Michigan Is Demanded.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-An appeal to Con-
gress to investigate conditions in the
copper country of Michigan was made
by the Chicago federation of labor in
resolutions adopted yesterday which
charge the mine owners and agents
with being responsible for the tragedy
of Christmas eve.
The resolutions also charge that
Houghton county is under the govern
ment of gunner under the orders of
the mine owners and that President
Meyer of the federation of miners, was
shot and driven out of Hancock by
thugs.
Every member of the board is to go
to the mining region and Meyer is to go
back as leader as soon as he RECEIVERS.
Emmett Flood, national organizer of
the American federation of labor, was
the only speaker counseling violence.
Meyer will probably be well i'll ten
days, unless blood poisoning revelops.
