Battle Of lundy's Lane.

One hundred years ago took place
the battle of Lundy's Lane. sometimes
called the battle Of Niagara Falls and
which was the most sanguinary and
stubbornly contested engagement
fought on Canadian soil during the
War of 1912. The battle commenced
at sunset and ended at midnight. Tho
victory was claimed by both sides.
The losses in killed and wounded were
about equal The Americans were
left in possession of the field, but
were unable to carry away any OF the
spoils they had captured. In this ac-
ton Col Winfield Scott, afterward
the commander in the Mexican war,
greatly distinguished himself, being
twice severely wounded. In the same
engagement the exploit OF another
American officer. Col James Miller,
in bravely carrying one OF the British
batteries, was considered one of the
most brilliant exploits of the entire
war. Congress voted him the thanks
of the nation and gold medal of hon
or as a reward.

SHOWS BIG ADVANCE
THE UNITED STATES DURING
PAST FIFTY YEARS MAKES
GREAT GAINS.
REPORT OF OUR GOVERNMENT
Farm Property Increased In Value
From 4 Billion to Al Billion DOL
iars-We Had 2021 Miles of Rail-
road in 1850; 258, o33 in 1912.

The enormous growth of the United
States during the last half century is
shown in report issued by the bu.
reau of foreign and domestic com.
merce. While the report is for the
period 1S00-1914, the meager stats
tics for the first half of the century
make them comparatively unimport
ant.
After pointing out that since 1856
the population of the country has
more than quadrupled, being now
more than 100,000,000, the report
says
''In the same period, however, for
eign commerce has grown from $31s,
100000 to $4,259, 100000 and the per
capita value of exports from $16.s6 to
$23.27.
National wealth has increased
from $1,000, 100000 in 1870 to approxi
mately $14O,OOO,O 1000; money in cir
culation from $279 100000 to $3,419,
100000, and New York bank clearings
from approximately $4,000, 100000 to
more than $9S,OOO,0 100000, while for
the entire country bank clearings
have grown from $4,000 100000 in
1877, the earliest year for which fig
ures are available, to $174, O00,0 900
Evidences of improved social con
ditions among the people are also
found in the statistical record. For
example, 100000 children are now
enrolled in the public schools and
about 100000 students in colleges and
in higher institutions of learning, and
the total expenditures on behalf OF
ndv nNxiy 70 n.
600 year. the result being a rapid in
crease in general intelligence and q
marked decrease in illiteracy.
More than $4,000 newspapers and
periodicals are disseminating infor
nation among the people, and there
is steady growth in the number Of
libraries in the country. In 1850 de
positors in savings banks were ISL,
900 in number; today the number is
100000, with deposits, exclusive Of
those in other savings institutions, ag
gregating $4,750,0O0, 900, or more thar
100 times as much as at the middle
of the last century.
Increased activity on the farms, il
the factories and in the great trans
portation industries has also devel
oped during the last half century. The
value Of farms and farm property in
creased from $4,000 100000 in 1850 tt
Sal, 900, 100000 in 1910; the value O
manufactures from $l,OO0,0OO,O0O tt
more than $4,000, 100000, and the
number of miles of railroad in opera
ton from 2,O21 in 1850 to 25S,033 II
1912. In the last quarter century thu
number Of passengers carried has in
creased from 492,OOO,0O0 to 1904, 900,
900, and the volume of freight han
died from 632,0O0,O00 to 1,S45,O00,00'
short tons.
Nearly 10000, 100000 pieces Of out
going mail matter are handled annual
ly by the postoffice department, which
disbursed in this important public
service last year $262 100000, or $2.7'
per capita"
