shipping in the coasting trade might have
pefn aaid thia morning- to be back to nor
mal, due to the arrival of the Admiral
Iewey from San Francisco. The Dewey
came in suplte of the trouble amonk sail
ors' union organizations and coupled with
the fact that the Admiral Sebree waft
here last week shows, shipping men de
clare, that the strike is a thing of the
pant.
The Admiral. line has. in'connection with
the Dewey, the probable arrival of the
Queen here this week from San Francisco
and the Admiral Schley Sunday or Mon
day from California ports. The Arizona
laru, carrying a full load of freight for

ing to the figures Just issued by Collector
ot Customs Roscoe Drumheller, were $3.
434. 481 more than the exports in the
Pueet sound district.
The imports reached $10,709,062, while
exports were but $7,270,161.
From Tacoma. however, the exports ex
ceeded the imports by more than two to
one. This was largely due, it is said, to
the fact that much of the shipping here
was in taking out frourr lumber and other
local products. The Imports for Tacoma
were $031,604 and exports $2,335,886.
Outside of the bonded imports copper
furnished the largest item, all of it be
ing brought to the Tacoma smelter. j
-Cotton furnished the largest item' for
export, the value being $2.3U3.;25. Flour, I
lumber and Iron and ateel were other items
that ran up over the half million mark.

old monster of circumstantial evi
dence is responsible for sending the
star, as Jim Montgomery, toVhe city
of silent men, which is the Interest
ing title applied to the world-famous
Sing Sing prison.
Jim Montgomery leaves his home in
a little New York towa to apply his
skill as a mechanic. After an unsuc
cessful search for work, he eagerly
accepts an offer of work which he
believes) honest, but which proves to
be a job of safe-cracking. While the

crooks kills the night watchman, antf
the pair make their escape, leaving church
Jim holding the bloody wrench use
by the murderer. Jim is caught by
the police, and the evidence sends him
to Sing Sing to serve a life term.
Under the'guidance of BillHawkin
a "third-timer," Jim learns the ropes
of the, prison routine, and his ability
is recognized by an appointment as
a trusty. At this time Jim receives
word that his mother is dying

California town, where he becomes
a prominent business man and citizen
He also falls in love with a beautiful

climax. Lois Wilson has the leading
feminine role, and the mother part
is played by Kate Bruce, who has

Manufacturers Slay Xot Be Able to
. Turn Out Enough for This
Tear's Crop.
At a recent mtetins; of all box man
ufacturers of 'the Pacific northwest,
which Included the membership of the bo
department of the West Coast Lumber
men's association and the box bureau of
the Western Pino Manufacturers associa
tion, held at Seattle, the prospective de
mand for apple boxes tor the enormous
crop .of apples fir IH-'I was discussed.
This conference Included manufacturers
from eastern Oregon and Idaho, central
and southern Oreson, all inland empire
manufacturers and the manufacturers
from the Pacific northwest. C. A. Pratt,
who was formerly president of the Pacific
Box company of Tacoma. , but now a suc
cessful orchardist of Yakima, presided at
the meetlnr-
One.of the principal topics of discus
sion was the terms on apple box sales. It
was shown that the manufacturers this
season are not able to finance the fruit
growers on box salrs as has been the rus
tom previously. On this account it seems
the volume of box sales at this date Is
far below that of any previous year. It
was shown by a thorourh canvass of man
ufacturers present that the actual sale of
apple boxes to date from the Pacific
northwest, including- the inland empire
manufacturers, does not exceed 5.000.000.
At the same time the estimated apple
crop of the Wenatchee district. Including
the Okanogan valley, is conservatively
placed at about 15,000 cars, which will re
quire approximately 12.000.000 apple boxes,
while the Yakima and Walla Walla dis
tricts will require about the same num
ber. These figures do not take into ac
count the district of Hood River. Or., or
the Inland empire district of Washington.
The carry-over of apple boxes from last
season is considered very light. At the
same time there is no stock of apple
boxes unsold among manufacturers. They
have uniformly refused to manufacture
stock In advance of orders.
Considering It possible to start imme
diately to manufacture apple boxes, each
manufacturer reported the amount possi
ble to furnish before September 1, bear
ing in mind other business already booked.
It was shown, that the grand total of ap
ple boxes possible to furnish from the en
tire Pacific northwest would not exceed
the possible requirements for the large
pi unprctir v apple crop OI Jl.
Another Important matter discussed at
the meeting was that the export shook
business has shown remarkable improve
ment during the past several months, and
It was pointed out In a practical way by
W. D. Henderson, formerly of th. h,,...,.
of foreign and domestic commerce and
now director of the International trade
service of Frank Waterhouse & Co.. that
the possibilities of a much greater ex
tension of this trade In box shooks- were
very encouraging at this time.
