MANUFACTURES MOVE WEST.
from the Providence Tribune.

Prom the Providence Tribune
The Boston news bureau recently
gave some extremely interesting statis-
tics regarding the westward course OF
the American empire, the change that is,
whereby the nations factories, once all
fringing the Northern seaboard and then
confined by the Mississippi and the Po-
tomac. have now. because of the necessi-
ties OF demand. the advantages of loca-
ton and supplies and the strategics of
distribution, spread into the remotest ru-
raj Commonwealths.
The continuing degree of this diffusion
is shown by analysis, in comparative
form. of recently reported census figures
on the manufacturers of the States.
To be sure the older industrial
States, like Rhode Island, have main
tanned a growth of manufactured output
far outstripping that in population But
the newer sections show not only the
more rapid gains in percentage, but a
steadily larger share Of the country s
total product. The Western people are
making at home more of the things they
need and are shipping more surplus into
the rivalry of domestic and even inter-
national trade.
At the same time that the newer COM
munities become less and less dependent
on our Northeastern section of the coun-
try for many staple manufactures East
ern capital has found 1t expedient to
place many outposts in these communi-
ties. In consequence, the percentage
gains of sectional totals during decade

MISSING FROM BOAT.
Police Unable to Find Navy Pay
masters Clerk.

h Police of Washington and Norfolk,
aided by the authorities in a number of
other cities and private detective agen-
cies, have been unable to find trace of
Howard Morrell Crawford, thirty-two
years old, a navy paymaster's clerk,
living at Riverdale, Nd, with his wife
and one child, who has been missing
since January 4.
Crawford is known to have boarded the
steamer Southland at Norfolk on the
night of his disappearance just before
the boat left the dock, but whether he
arrived in Washington has not been
learned. Mrs. Grace l.. Crawford. wife
of the missing clerk, believes her hus-
band has met with foul play.
Mrs. Crawford scouts the idea that he
may have ended his life. saying he was
happy and contented and had no serious
trouble. Crawford, 1t is said, is a man
of exemplary habits and stands high in
the estimation of the officers with whom
he has been associated.

The "BelIe of the Bends.-

Frum the St Louis Republic
The river news has 1t that the steam
boat Belle of the Bends is coming up
from New Orleans. She is to be placed
in the excursion business and her future
home port will be St Louis.
The name smacks of the dying ro-
nance of the river. 1t rings of the old
life when the broad Mississippi re-
sounded with the hoarse hooting of
whistles and the dip-dip of broad paddle
wheels. The Belle of the Bends is a
name that ought to tough the fancy of
even the light-minded excursionlst. 1t
whispers Of yellow reaches OF river un-
der the moon and wooded points where
the bars swing down into the tides.
1t Is in keeping with the names that
were once household words along the big
river. There was fine poetic fancy in
some of those names. There was the
North Star and the Belle of the Prairie
the Great Republic and the Effie Alton.
Gray-haired folk recall the voyages and
the excursions Of the Gussy Gordon, the
Natchez, and whole line of Eclipses.
whose gorgeousness belied the somber
name. There Is Kate Adams now ply
ing out Of Memphis and there is
world of "Reminiscences in her name What
could roll more romantically from the
tongue that such names as the Grand
Turk. the Blackhawk, and the Altoona?
Or the ]. NJ. White when that famous
steamboat was establishing a record for
swiftness that has never been equaled
on the Father of Waters?
Folk who go excursioning now do so i'm
such prosaic vehicles as chair car 567.
or high back coach 66l. Only In the
coaches built by the descendants of Pull
man Is there a touch OF leaping fancy.
There Is more of romance in an excur-
sion boat named the Alex Scott, the Shot
well or the City of Alton than there
can be in vanished coach, numbered
like a convict or a telephone.
The Belle of the Bends Is welcome for
her name if nothing mora.
