Electric railroads, comparatively a
new thing, are capitalized at twice the
amount of the bonded debt of the
United States.
President Roosevelt wants his nomi
nation to come from the people in
stead of the politicians. We can't
blame him, since ho will have to de
pend on the people to elect him.
We give ourselves credit for being
very clever In this twentieth century,
and, in the lino of invention, some
wonderful things have been done, but,
as smart as we are, we are only copy
ing some things done more than a
thousand years ago. So far as his
tory goes, the Egyptians were the first
inventors. They had incubators and
hatched chickens artificially thous
ands of years before America was
discovered. They knew the embalm
ing business better than we have ever
been ablo to learn it and were able to
temper copper, an art which is en
tirely lost to us. They understood
agriculture remarkably well and
raised as good crops as can be pro
duced now. We are finding out some
things that have been forgotten for
centuries.
In no calendar year in the history
of this country have our exports foot
ed up to the amount that they did in
the jear that has just been brought to
a close. The nearest approach was
the calendar year of 1900, when our
exports were about 87,000,000 less in
value than during the year 1903. The
gains made during the past year were
in the last three months of the year.
The exports of $174,734,000 for the
month of December formed the great
est trade record that has ever been
made in this country in any single
month, while the three months to
gether, showing exports to the value
of nearly $500,000,000, are also un
paralleled in our past record. Our
import trade was also larger in value
than that of any previous year, foot
ing up in round numbers $995,000,000.
So much has been heard of Russia's
lumbering interests in Manchuria,
Siberia and Sakhalin, and of the
efforts of the companies on the Yalu
river to enter into competition with
the lumber trade of the Pacific coast,
that especial interest will attach to a
report on the subject made by Henry
D. Miller, United States consul at
Niu-Chwang. It is evident that con
siderable progress has already , been
made, and that while the pine being
handled at Port Arthur is not equal
to the Oregon product, it is good
enough for the common markets of
China, and will be accepted for most
purposes. Most of the supply is now
driven or rafted down tho Yalu and Is
brought thence In Chinese junks. The
Russian sawmill at the mouth of this
river is the third largest In the world.
Shipments ana also being made from
Vladivostok to Port Arthur, Dalny
(Ta-Llen-Wan) and Niu-Chwang. Mr.
Miller is of the opinion that Russia
intends to provide for all the require
ments of lumber in Manchuria and
Siberia, with a possibility of entering
the Chinese market.

An Early Riser.
A strong, healthy, active constitu
tution depends largely on tho con
dition of the liver. The famous little
pills known as DeWltt's Little Early
Risers not only cleanse tho system
but they strengthen the action of the
liver and rebuild the tissues support
ing that organ. Little Early Risers
aro easy to act, they never gripe and
yet they are absolutely certain to pro
duce results that are satisfactory in
all cuses. Sold by D. J. Brannen.

The startling announcement that a
preventive of sulcldo had been discov

system or despondency invariably
precede suicide and something has
been found that will prevent that con

tho first thought of self destruction

great tonic and nervine will strengthen
the nerves and build up the system.
