The doors through which the
exports of the United States flow
to the outside world are opening
more widely year by year, and this
seems to be especially true ot' the
ports located on the Gulf of Mex-
ico. the northern lake border and
the Pacific coast. Formerly the
Atlantic coast ports held a ver)
large proportion of the export as
import trade, but in recent years
the export trade is being distribu-
ted to the ports at the north and the
south, as well as the west, though
in importation the Atlantic ports
still retain about eighty per cent of
the total import trade. The fig-
ures of the fiscal year just ended,
compared with those of the fiscal — .
vear iqoi, presented by the depart- one occasionally
nient of commerce and labor, thro
its bureau of statistics, show a re-
duction for Boston of $55,000,000
in exports; New York a reduction
of twenty-four millions; Philadel-
phia a reduction of six millions;
Baltimore a reductiod of twenty-
millions: Newport News a reduc-
tion of seven millions, and Norfolk
a reduction of nearly two millions.
Moving down the coast toward the
south, however, and still comparing
the figures of 1903 with those of
1001, Savannah shows an increase
road. There never was a time
when good operators were in great-
er demand."
The salary of an operator ranges
from $45 to $70 a month, according
to his station and the responsibility-
resting upon him. "There are
some little stations on our line, "
Mr. Blair said. 1 where $45 »
month is paid au operator. But
these are little places where there
is not much to do. The average
wages paid is about $55 or $60 a
month. We want farmer boys.
They are the ones to rely upon,
because they stick to their work.
Send a boy from the city to a little
lonely station away down the line
and he usually stays less than a
week. He starts back to where
electric lights glitter after mid-
night . But put a farmer boy at a
lonely station and he is up with the
birds in the morning, pegging away
at his post: - His days don't seem
long and tliev dou't drag."
One of the questions priuted on
the Rock Island telegrapher s ap-
plication blank relates to cigarette
smoking. In nearly every instance
an applicants answers this question
in the negative. Seldom does a
young man admit that he smokes
cigarettes. He will say he "smokes
one occasionally." but never ad-
mits he is a habitual user of them.
THE REPUBLIC'S GREAT OFFER.
An Exceptional Opportunity For Old
and New Subscribers to the
St. Louis Republic.
Special arrangement has been
made bv the St. Louis Republic to
furnish old or new subscribers with
the only official and authorized life
of Pope Leo XIII. This is one
great volume, bound iti elegant
cardinal cloth, gilt and ink stamp-
ing. with Papal coat of arms, con-
iyui, |taiuing nearly 800 pages of text
in exportations of atxuit eight mil- and illustrations. The work was
lions: Wilmington. N. C.. over two prepared and
millions: Galveston an increase of
three millions; Mobile an increase
of a million, and New Orleans a
decrease of three million?
The Currenev Keep* Increasing.
The extent to which the circulat-
ing medium of the United States
has been expanded in recent years
is one ot the marvels of the time.
The monthly circulation statement
just issued by the treasury depart -
ment shows that the general stock
of money of all kinds in the coun-
try 011 August 1. was $2.382,018,-
4Q<\ a gain of nearly $t>,000,000 in
the month and of over $121,000.-
000 in twelve months. On the
basi> of the estimated population
of the country on August i this
was a per capita circulation of
$20.55. which is the highest figure
ever reached.
Commenting on thoo remarka-
ble figures the financial writer of
the St Louis Globe- Hemocrat as-
serts that in the middle of 1H06. at

everyone that Mr. Bryan was right
and Mr. Clarke was wrong upon
this point.

•Under that theory, apparently
tweuty or more bridge piers were
erected in Comanche county, under
contract with county officials. All
have since been condemned as unfit.
About twenty-one sets were erected
in Kiowa county, and bills were
put in for twenty-three. Of those
for which bills were submitted it is
certain that three were never con-
structed. The county officials cer-
tified to all as duly constructed in
conformity with contracts, inspect-
ed and accepted.
In both cases bills were present-
ed to the government, on one esti-
mate and measure, and afterward
to the county, as upon a remeasure-
ment, an excess being shown over
the accounts rendered to the gov-
ernment. Then after both the
government and county had paid
the bills, other accounts for the
same bridges, covering both the
county and government payments,
were put in. without any reference
whatever to any prior payment."

Owes his Life to Neighbors Kindness.
Mr. D. P. Daugherty, well known
throughout Mercer and Sumner
counties. W. Ya., most likely owes
his life to the kindness of a neigh-
bor. He was almost hopelessly af-
flicted with diarrhoea; was attended
by two physicians who gave him
little, if any, relief, when a neigh-
bor learning of his serious condi-
tion, brought him a bottle of Cham-
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, which cured him in
less thaii twenty-four hours. For
