wood, birch, elm and oak constituted
most of the remainder. The state still
ranks first in maple and beech.
Foundry and Maehine-shop Products.
In addition to the general class OF
foundries and machine shops, this in
dustry also includes establishments
which manufacture bells, gas machines
and meters, hardware, plumbers sup
plies, steam fittings and structural
ironwork. The industry was really OF
greater importance in the state than
is indicated by the statistics, as some
machine shops manufactured distinc-
tive product and were assigned to
other classifications. A number or
the most important establishments
were engaged in the manufacture OF
cast-iron radiators and boilers for
steam cranes and pile drivers. The
gross value of products increased from
$25, 430, 900 in 1899 to $45, 900 in
1909. or 1875 per cent for the decade.
Food and Kindred Products.
This group of Industries in Michi-
gan includes seven industries, namely:
Flour mills and grist mills; the but.
ter, cheese and condensed milk indus
try; slaughtering and neat packing;
the manufacture of food preparations;
bakeries; the beet-sugar industry and
canning and preserving. The classi-
fcation, Food Preparations" includes
the statistics for the Factories which
manufacture fancy cereals, mincemeat.
canned soups, and similar preparations
as chief products. The canning and
preserving industry embraces all es-
adjustments in which fruit, vegetables
and fish are canned or preserved, as
well as those which prepare pickles,
preserves and sauces. In 1909 there
were 1880 establishments reported for
these seven industries. which EN-
ployed 10,97S wage earners and manu-
featured products valued at $100,605,
600, adding SIG, 480,000 to the cost Of
materials by the process of manufac
ture. This group of industries, how
ever, is of much less importance rela
lively when measured by value added
by manufacture or average number OF
wage earners than when measured by
value of products, owing principally to
the comparatively simple processes in
volved in the manufacture of -four
mill and grist-ntill products. and but
ter, cheese and condensed milk, and in
slaughtering and meat packing. Each
of these seven industries showed q

Industries.
Automobiles.

FNdhOluOGhSos
The manufacture of automobiles in
Michigan on any considerable scale
commenced in Detroit less than a
decade ago, although it had been car
ried on to a limited extent prior to
that time. The industry developed
rapidly, and by 1904 Michigan had be-
come the leading state in the manufac-
ture of automobiles, which position 1t
held in 1909. In 1904 Michigan con-
tributed 26.6 per cent of the total value
of products for this industry for the
country as a whole, while in 1903
the proportion had increased to 1873
per cent. The total value Of products
for this industry in Michigan in 1903
was $96,651 900, which was more than
twelve times the amount reported for
1904. while the value added by manu-
facture in 1909 was over nine times
that reported in 1904. OF the total
value of manufactured products and
value added by manufacture for the
state in 1909, the automobile industry
contributed al per cent and 1875 per
cent, respectively, while Of the total
increase of $255, 900 in value Of
products for all manufacturing indus
tries in the state from 1904 to 1909,
$8S 1854, 900. or over one-third, was re-
ported for this one industry.
Lumber and Timber Products.
This industry in Michigan dates
from 1884, when the first steam saw

It's growth thereafter was very rapid.
for in 1849 there were 55S establish
ments reported, which employed an
average of 2,730 wage earners and
turned out products valued at $2,464,-
600. The industry was at first concen-
trated along the valleys of the Grand,
Saginaw and Muskegon rivers and
their tributaries, and at such lake
ports as Alpena, Manistee, Ludington
| Cheboygan and Grand haven. Until
the rise of the automobile industry,
this was the most important industry
in the state as measured by value OF
products, and 1t still continues to lead
all others in number Of establish
ments, average number OF wage earn
ers and amount paid in wages. The
supply of timber in the state has beer
declining steadily. and the value Of
products showed a decrease both
from 1889 to 1899 and from 1899 tc
1904. Since 1904. however. the indus
try has shown a slight increase In
this respect. In 1909 the total value
of products reported for this industry
was SCI $4,000 and II gave employ
ment to an average of 35,627 wage
earners during the year. Until nov

GIBBONS IN SLIGHT FAVOR
OVER MCFARLAND.
Much Interest Stimulated Over the
Outcome of the Fight.

New York. Sept. 10.-Although no
championship is at stake, the 10-round
bout between Packey Mcfarland OF
Chicago and Mike Gibbons of st. Paul
is more talked Of than any pugilisdc
event that has taken place here for 15
years. The men will meet at the
Brighton Beach motordrome tomorrow
night and are to weigh in at 147
pounds tomorrow afternoon at 8
o'clock.
The fact that the promoters OF the
bout have deposited $32,500 in the
hands of the Stockholders has dispelled
any doubts that may have existed as
to the genuineness Of the battle. Glib
bons is a slight favorite, mainly be-
cause he has been fighting regularly.
while Mcfarland has not taken part
in a ring battle for some time. His
long absence from the ring has caused
many to believe that the Chicago man
reeds a bout or two in order to bring
him up to a fight with q man Of Glib
bons' calibre. Both men have trained
carefully and earnestly and both will
undoubtedly be down to the stipulated
weight by tomorrow afternoon.

PADDY GREEN WILL
FACE soUTH8RDeE
Moosup Confident of Capturing the
Series.

All the fans for miles around are
spending the big end of their hours
just now specializing on the outcome
of the series of ball games which have
been arranged between the Moosup and
Southbridge teams. Saturday after
noon the Moosup boys will journey
to the Bay state town and will carry
all their fighting toys, bent on bring
ing home the first game. Then again
on Sunday the teams will clash in the
second game at the carpet grounds,
Moosup.
This series, which comprises I'M
doubtedly the fastest bunch of ball
tossers in this territory, will certainly
be one big drawing card, as there is
no end Of confidence manifested by
both teams.
Manager Anidon of the Moosup club
announces that Paddy Green will shoot
'em across the pan one game, while
the invincible Sullivan will go in to
win the other. Roy Rock will be there,
and from what we are able to gteher
fSom the inside, there's quite a bunch
of star performers rounded up already
for the fray.
Hugh Rorty, who umpired the first
game between Putnam and Moosup,
will hold the indicator at the game at
Moosup on Sunday.
