Another National Shrine.
(New York Times.)


 Stratford Hall the birthplace of Robert E. Lee, was built two hundred years ago and still stands solid and strong" It is but eight miles from Wakefield, the birthplace of George Washington, and only few miles across the country from the birthpaces of James Madison and James Monroe It was itself the birthplace of two signers of the Declaration of Independence and the home of "Lighthorse" Harry Lee It so remote and isolated so inaccessible to the enemy, in the time of the Civil War, that General Lee wrote to his wife suggesting that the estate might be purchased that she and his daughters might remain there in quiet and that the old wheels and looms might be got out again and clothes made for the poor Confederates.
 It was more than such a practical use that prompted the proposal of it's purchase, for only fortnight before he had said of Stratford Hall in another letter to his wife: Tt is endeared to by many recolections and it has been always great desire of my life to be able to purchase it." What he never able to do it is planned to do in making this permanent memorial-a national, not a sectional shrine.
 In completing the fund for it, there is op- portunity for North and South to join in homage to this man of whom Woodrow Wilson wrote that it not exaggeration to say that in all parts of the country his manhood and self-forget- fulness and achievements "a conscious model to men who would be morally great"

A NOTEWORTHY MUSICAL TREAT.

In the concerts given last night and again this afternoon by Charles Wakefield Cadman and Madame Florence Beeler Juneau people were afforded an opportunity of the kind that all too seldom in this Northland. It is one of the handicaps of pioneer and sparsely settled land that it's chances are limited to hear and see musicians and others of note in the various fields of art Thus when so rare treat is afforded that by the visitation of these two it is occasion long to be re- membered
 Whether the nearer a finished musician one with wide knowledge of music and it's his tory, or simply who loved the finer things, all who attended the Juneau concerts were delighted as they well might be. If placing ones work above himself, if simplicity and sincerity are the marks of true artistry, Cadman and Beeler possess that quality that is akin to divinity

Reindeer Enrich Alaska.
Seattle Times.l


 Reindeer traditional coursers in the realm of fancy, have raced into the world of fact They are hailed by the Federal Government as worthy, sub- stantial addition to the nations food supply Ac- cording to rigid tests conducted by the Bureau of Standards, Alaska deer meat is rich in protein, low in moisture content and devoid of excessive fat qualities that commend it for human consumption. In nutritious attributes the northern product re- turns to purchasers all their moneys worth.
 Alaskas reindeer business has quickly assumed large proportions. The herds aggregate between 6,000,0OO and 100000 animals Shipments of meat to the States last year totaed 100000 pounds, worth $60000O The hides favored in the tan nery trade They make buekskin and light leather of the better sorts The supply of belts is mmeasur ably less than the demand and their sale is effected by contract long before they taken from the animals.
 Present conditions certain of further devel- .opment in the immediate future. The deer can be increased to 10000000 without impairment of forage areas. Meat exports of the approaching will approximate 100000 pounds and next year they will total at least 10000000
 Transportation is the one factor that deters pansion. The shipping period is limited to the sumet months When it is extended so as to cover the entire year. output and sales can be augmented to all their possibilities. Alaskas newest industry is permanent and lucrative

Bureau Tells Truth About Fur-Farming
Business Cnronicle.)

The Government is doing a good thing in help ing modify the popular opinion that fur-farming is "get-rich-quick' business. The Bureau of Bio- logical Survey is combating that fallacious idea. It deprecates the glamour thrown about this busi- ness saying many who inquire about fur farming have the notion that they fence in a rugged piece of land, turn loose fur-bearers, and collect large profits with little effort" The Bureau has issued pamphlet, Recommendations to Beginners in Fur Farming" which disposes of the enormous profits talk and then gives guidance to laymen who think they must engage in this industry It should be read also by persons solicited to invest money in any corporate enterprise engaging in the business

The 1928 export value total ex.
ceeded the corresponding 1927
figures by $117,s9S,S69 or 20 per
cent.
The relative Importance of the
automotive export market can be
rather readily illustrated by show
ing that during the year just closed.
the value of automotive exports
was nearly $75,000,000 in excess of
the total wholesale value of pas
senger cars and trucks produced in
the United States during the year
1914.
Easily Understood
The recent expansion that has
taken place in the automotive ex-
port field over the past few years
is easily understood when we COM
pare the annual value figures of
automotive exports for the past
few years. For example, in 1921,
the total value of automotive ex-
ports amounted to $81, ,928,347. while
in 1928 exports had increased to
approximately $525,000, 900, thereby
indicating an increase during the

aroused as much interest thralgh
the consistency of it's performance
as it did through its victories. Both
climbs, over a 1.600-yard course,
were made in exactly the same time
to the fifth of second, the Graham
Paige being clocked at l minute
So 4-5 seconds for each of it's runs.
The test was held under the
auspices of the Royal Automobile
Club on zig-zag Hill, at Lilydale,
the climb consisting of a series of
hair-pin turns on a difficult grade
The Graham Paige won the trade
stock standard event in its class,
and, afterward. won the event open
to all cars. Its feat of covering the
course twice without the least varia.
ton in time was hailed as one Of
the most unusual demonstrations of
consistent performance and skill in
driving ever recorded ina Australia.
The car was piloted by Walter Whit

A study of the growth in the
number of units exported from the
United States also illustrates the
remarkable expansion that has
taken place in the automotive ex-
port market. During 1921, 30,950
passenger cars and 7,480 trucks
were exported from the United
States. During the following two
years, a marked increase took place
in the automotive export market.
This expansion can be readily
comprehended if a comparison is
made of the 1921 figures with the
1928 exports of 1885 passenger
cars and 24,S61 trucks. During the
period between 1925 and 1927, pas.
senger car exports do not show any.
where near the same rate of in
crease that was evident during the
few years previous to that time.
Growth i'm Trucks
During this same period, how
ever, there was a substantial growth
in the export of trucks. 1925 'ex.
ports for this group amounted to
0,116 units, wlsile 1927 showed truck
exports at los, ,447 units.
The expansion already noted in
the value of alitomotive exports dur
ing 1928, naturally held true in the
number Of units exported. S6S, 1928
passenger cars were exported from
the United States during 1928. This
represented an increase of 89,5S0
units or 32.1 per cent over the 278,-
748 passenger cars exported during
the previous year. The total num-
Der of passenger cars exported from
the United States in 1928 amounted
to 9.6 per cent of the 3,S26,613 cars
produced in the United States dur.
ing this same period.
