Sev en other lines have laid off a large number of employes. This announcement was made by the General Managers' Association, with the explanation that there liad been a "general trimming to meet con ditions evidenced by the discharge or reduction of wages of nearly 100,000 cotton operatives in New England, and the cutting of the pay of 150,000 employes of the United States Steel Corporation." This news comes as a surprise bo cause or the fact that railway man agements have been talking hopefully of the business situation, and assert- ing that there had not been any large discharge of employes by the rail roads. The official representative of the General Managers' Association de clares that one of the main lines re porting to him had discharged 10 per cent of its force employed in conduct ing transportation, and that another put the situation in a nutshell by say ing that, although its November pay roll showed an increase of 4 per cent over November, 1902, it was 9 per cent below that of October, 1903. The condition of railway employes is further described by the statement that some of the roads, instead of re ducing wages or forces, have reduced the working hours of the men paid by hours.

This has already been shown in the rush orders placed in this country by Russia for large consignments of mess meats, and in the orders of Ja pan for special shipments of flour. In the fiscal year 1902 our exports to Russia were valued at $7,446,6S0. In 1903 they increased to $17,605, 000. Our exports to Japan in the fiscal year 1903 were valued at $20,924, 000, a decline of about $1,000,000, compared with the figures of the pre ceding year. "War in the far East would great ly develop our trade in that part of the world," said Mr. 0. P. Austin of the bureau of statistics at Washing ton. Russia and Japan would make heavy demands upon us for various commod ities, principally provisions." Industrial Progress. J. M.IVeatherby T. A. Bury D. L. Martin Roseburg Real Estate Co.

The Progress of the United States in its Material Industries' is the title of a statistical statement presented by the department of commerce and labor through the annual report of the chief of the bureau of statistics. The table pictures conditions in the great industries and material interests of the United States in 1903, where such figures are available, and com pares those conditions with those of earlier years, running back, where possible, to the year 1800. In arera, for example, the total in 1903 is 3,025,000 square miles, against 2,- 9,80,959 square miles in 1850 and 827,844 square miles in 1800. These figures do not include Alaska or the islands belonging to the United States. The population in 1903 is stated at 80,372,000, against 23,191,876 in 1850 and 5,308,483 in 1800. The wealth of the country is stated at $94,000,000,000 in 1900, and presum ably $100,000,060 would not be an unreasonable estimate for 1903, while for 1850 the wealth of the country stood at $7,000,000,000, no estimate being given for any year earlier than 1850. The per capita wealth is set down at $1235 in 1900 and $307 in 1850, having thus more than quadrupled meantime. The interest-bearing debt in 1903 is $014,000,000, against $1,724,000,000 in 1880 and $2,046, 000,000 in 1870. The per capita in debtedness of the country in 1903 is $11.51, against $60.46 in 1870, and and the intereat per capita-32 cents in 1908, against $3.08 in 1870. Congratulations. Mr. John H. Cullotn, Kditdrbf tl6 Garland, Texas, News, has written a . let ter of congratulations to the manufac turers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as follows : "Sixteen years ago when our first child was a baby ho was sub ject to croupy spells and we would be very uneasy about him. Wo began by usini: Chainberlaiu's Cough Remedy in 1887, and finding it such a reliable remedy for colds an4 croup, we have never been without it in theliouse since that time. We have five children and and have given it to all of them wi'Ji good results. One good featuro of this remedy is tiiat it is not disagreeable to take and our babies really like it. An other is that it is not dangerous, and there is no risk from giving an overdose I congratulate you upon .the' success of your remedy." For sale by A. C Mara ters & Co. ' Pout Townsenm), Wash., Jan. 9. The Steamer Clallam, of the Puget Sound Navigation Company, Captain George Koberts, en route from Seattle to Vic toria, sank at 1:15 o'clock this moruing, while in tow of the tug Holyoke, at a poiut midway between Smith's Island and Dungeuess Spit. About fifty of her passen gers and crew were drowned. Thirty-one were saved, twent3r-four being picked up by the tug Sea Lion and seven by the Holyoke. Port Towxskxd, Wash., an. 9. Steamer Clallam foundered shortty after midnight this morning, a short distance from Smith's Island, about 15 miles from this city. About 50 persons, including 36 passengers lost their lives. The vessel had come within eight miles of Vic toria, when heavy seas broke in the deadlights and the water ruslnd in, putting the fires out. Three boats were launched, filled principally with women and children, and two of these were seen to founder, all drowning, and the third is thought to have met the same fate. ALL THE WOMEfl PERISH. Seattle, Wash., Jan. 9. A special to the Tinier from Port Townsend says: Fifty lives and a fine ne.' steamer were the victims of the storm king, which swept over the' Straits of Juan de Fuca with relentless fur' esterday and last night. The vessel which went down was the regular daily pis?enger packet Clallam. She made moderately good progress across the Straits bound for Victoria uutil Trial Island, off the entrance to the harbor as abeam. Then a icrrilic cross sea was pelting the vessel, retarding her progress aud making life uncomfortable for those aboard. Little fear was manifested, however, until word came up from below that the vessel was leaking. In vestigation showed that the waves on the windward side had stove in a deadlight, through which the waters rushed in volume, resisting all efforts to stop it. Seeing that all efforts were futile, the safety of the passengers, particularly the women aud children aboard was looked after, and in boats properly. manned all who desired were put off from the steamer. The heavily laden boats were as corks, however, in the choppy sea and oue after another, after succeed ing in getting away from the vessel, were either . cap sized or swamped, and as a result not a woman or child of all those aboard has lived to tell the tale. The ap parent discrepancy in the numbers from the list of fa talities herewith is accountable to the fact that only such children as paid half fare were enrolled in the passenger, list. At 1 A. M. the Clallam took a heavy lurch and those remaining aboard were compelled to climb up the side to safety, finally reaching the roof of the pilot house. The Holyoke's crew proved themselves of the right mettle, for without a moment's hesitation the tug's boats were lowered and the work of rescue was commenced. At this juncture the tug Sea Lion, Cap tain Manter, arrived, aud her men also rendered valu able assistance. Before all of the struggling people bad been taken off, the Clallam commenced to break up, and soon af ter went down, leaving a swirling eddy in-her place on the waves. , All possible assistance to the rescued people was given by the two ship masters and their crews, and . the tugs hurried, here, arriving at 10 o'clock. The passengers-surviving and-the remainder of the crew then .took passage onthoDirigo, bound for Seattle. Lewis and Clark Fair Bill. A dispatch from Washington says: The Senate committee on expositions referred Mitchell's Lewis and Clark bill to a subcommittee composed of Senators Burnham, Fulton and Newell As the sentiment of the committee is overwhelmingly in favor of the bill it was decided to have no oral hear ing, but the Portland commission was invited to submit written statements in support of the bill. H. W. Scott, Jefferson Myers and Whitney L. Boise will present written arguments to the subcommittee, and on these the reports will be based. When the subcommittee reports its action will be indorsed by the full committee and tlie '.ill gj direct to the Senate cden Jar. Every effort will hi ra le ti have the bill reported at xx etrldVe, and it may be called up and passed by the Senate before the Portland commis mission returns. Preparation of the committee report will largely fall to Senator Fnlton, because of his famil- arity with the project. Ft.
