We learn of the telegraph that three dtys ago, it wag put in operation in several . provinces in China that have an aggregate - ruinu I a t iaii fit nna VnnAmA A fifty million - people: ' nearly twice as many as there are iu the United States. There are now ocean going, ships in Portlai d, Oregoui, pre paring to oad three and a half million feet c of lumber for China, We do , quite a trade with China, in 1903 the imports from China, exclusive of that part of China owned by other nations, amounted to $23,643, 840, and our exports thereto amounted iu 1903 to $18,893,163 For the eleveu month ending with May 1905, the latest offici al Statement the Observer has, there were imported from China to the U S $25,834,761 worth of stuffs, for the same time there were exported from the U S to China. $45,819,635 Worth of thiugs making our trade with China aggregate for $71,754,446 Our totals of exports of wheat and flour to all countries for the eleven mouths ending with May 1905 were valued at $11,070,110 By comparison of the above figures it will be seen that the loss or serious demuuition of our trade with Chiua will be felt in the Uuitcd States. farmers in the good road dis tricts in this country, and .four times as great as the cost of haul 1D2 over the best roa Is in foreign countries. "Taking the total amount of farm produc's in the country, together with the necessary hauling of farm supplies and other material over county roads we find the total cost of hauliog done over county roads in the Umied States yearly is not leas than $900,000,000 taking mto account the failure to reach market with perishable articles, the failure to cultivate products "Which would be marketable it markets were always accessible, together with enforced idleness of farmers and draft animals through periods of wet weather, we deom it eutirely safe to say $600,000,000 of this $900,000,000 can be saved to the farmers when good roads, beoomejjj universe.: This $600,000,00 J theu is the anuual had road tax, so the Aug UBt number of the Good Roads LADIES' AND MISSES LISLE CLOVES , Worth up to 50c, Clean Sweep Price at 15c per pair.
