2i79i2 and Che exports were $l3,020,- lS6 while Che same figures in the ten months before that were: Imports S22,26S,o75; experts Si3.2l752O.
 Because of great pressure of work on its hands. engendered by tho great war, the department Of commerce has not been able as yet to publish its figures for June, 1915, SO it is possible to calculate for only ten months, and that only on aggregates, and not in detail For comparison in individual articles and on the trade with yerious countries. the detailed figures for App ril, 1915 are the latest available. Thus, these comparative periods are the respective ten months between October, 1913. and August, 1914. and form August. 1914. to July, 1915.
 On chat basis the exports from the United States show an increase of SS9t.S2f.so5 during the war, or ap. proximately 20 per cent. The im- ports show a decrease in wartime $2490O7473. or virtually 15 per cent. the perceitage in the decrease in du. tiable imports being almost exactly proportionate to the shrinkage in the aggregate.
 ln Che ten months before the war, the imports were 6O5,SO4.7S2; in the ten months of the war to June they were S1.S56.957SOs. the dutiable total before the war being $61L617. 28S and since the war S5110s9,1l9 The war exports have been S2.3f5. 90S.1S1. as against $1,95l5S7.2S6 in the ten months previous.

GOVERNOR STRONG
 ON SOUTHEAST ALASKA

While at Seward on his tour of Al. aska recently. Governor Strong. in an interview said:
 Juneau is growing and will contin. ue to grow No matter what a coun. try might boast of, the great. and sure basis for an prosperity Is the individ. ual-the payroll The Alaska Juneau property, most of which is within the very limits of Juneau city, will soon be crushing six thousand tons of ore daily. Indeed. have it on the most reliable authority that 1t is even a better looking mine than the Alaska rreadwen property It will employ large numbers of men end so will the Alaska Gastineau for many years. Millions of dollars are being put into the development of the mines around the capital city. and infinitely greater millions will be taken out. Along other parts of the Southeast coast, other mining developments are be. ginning or are in prospect, and the fisheries are producing millions. In spite of an this am sure that the developments of the whole coast of Alaska is hardly even in it's infancy. Behind us is the struggle before us are the fruits of It."

Major J. H. Finks.

Major j. H. Finks, Marshal of the
Supreme Court, who had been very
i'll at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Aslup, in Fayette, for several weeks,
passed away Saturday. He was n
years old and one of the most widely
known MisSourians in public life.
Few men in Missouri were so wide
" known or had more friends and
acquaintances than Mai. Finks. He
entered the Confederate Army as a
private and was promoted to the
rank of Major, distinguishing himself
several times by conspicuous bravery.
When the war terminated he was
serving on the staff of Maj. Gen.
Monroe M. Parsons.
After the war Mai. Finks engaged
in farming in Howard county near
Glasgow, and was also in the banking
business. He was the Democratic
nominee for Railroad and Warehouse
Commissioner in 1894 and was defeat
ed with the rest Of the ticket in the
Republican landslide.
Major Einks was one Of natures
noblemen, honorable, chivalrous and
brave. No man ever lived more
faithful to his friends, and il he bad q
fault it was his generosity.
The funeral was held at Fayette

Washington, April 26. Philip E.

permanent. The cost of a concrete
bridge far exceeds that Of a wooden
one. He closed his remarks by point
ing out the necessity of cooperative
work and called upon the representa-
tives of the boards for their ideas
along this line.
w. S. Mahan of Deer Creek town
ship then took the floor and expressed
his agreement with Judge Campbell.
Mr.. Mahan said that for too long the
road and bridge system had followed
the rut and that the time had come
to seek new channels, and made a
forcible comparison of the manner OF
working the roads in his youth with
the manner used today. He stated
that Deer Creek township is rapidly
doing away with the old wooden
bridge and culvert and replacing them
with concrete structures, and said
that between 80 and 100 had already
been put in and emily 80 were left to
build. For the past two years no
concrete bridge has been built in that
township of width less than Is
feet, none on the white Band" road
less than 20 feet and none at a fork
in the road less than "a feet. He is a
hearty advocate Of the road drag and
said that is the solution of the dirt
road problem.
County Highway Engineer Joe
Flammang talked briefly regarding
the construction of concrete bridges
and culverts. He said the state re-
quirements for culverts on main roads
is 80 Fin the clear. Mr.. Flammang
recommended that no culvert be con-
structed under any circumstances of
a width Of less than Is feet.
John H. Braden Of Amsterdam who
has been very active in presenting to
the county court the necessity for
bridges in his section Of the county,
was called upon for q talk, and re-
sponded by outlining the proper
method OF coming before the county
court with the request for 1 bridge.

county court stood ready to furnish
the necessary assistance. MIR. Brad
en- also outlined his method of max
ing settlement as township trustee
with the court by mail, this method
not only saving the trustee trip to
the county seat, but also effecting a
material saving in the time of the
court.
T. D. Embree of Summit township
suggested that the county court adopt
the plan of having bridge petitions

board or bear the boards endorse.
ment.
A. H. Culver, who for the past two
years has been a member of the
county highway commission made an
excellent talk upon the construction
and maintenance of dirt roads and
urged upon those present the value
Of the road drag. He condemned the
excessive use Of the road grader and
made the statement that many times
the injury to the road by the use OF
the grader overbalanced the benefit.
He commended that the Pinch beam

used, acted both as grader and drag.
He commended the county courtupon
