. That the life of the world has changed more in -the last century
thaa la a thousand years before thattlme Is directly due. to the Influ
ence npon Industry of the modern system of manufacturing. ; When the
butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker passed off the stage to
'make way for the beef trust, the cracker trust and the steel trust the
'change affected every soul In Christendom.. The development of ma
chinery and power which substitute the modern shoe factory for the old
ilashloned cobbler's bench is responsible for many changes, some of
them evil but most of them good. Whatever our private opinion nay
'be as to 'the preponderance of good or evil, the change has come and

the development by virtue of its greater

in which many questions are being- dl
louased and few determined. During the
aiext tO years the changes !n laws and
icnstoms necessary to a readjustment of
Stfe to new Industrial conditions will
5e completed. By the year 1,000 prac
itlaaMr every serious question affecting
(Industry will have been settled, and the
(two component factors of industry-
teapital and Jabot will be at-peace.
The very first piece of machinery in-
Cented In the United Btatea which tend

viL yet Its rood triumphed In the. end.

stitution of African slavery. He did
not foresee that It would plunge the
American people Into four years -of
bloody Internecine strife. He did not
igoreeee that It would Inject into the
lAmerican polities of today a never set
tled race problem. Yet if It had not
been for the cotton gin the south would
iaot have planted cotton fields, slavery
-would have died as It did in New Eng
land f its own unprofitablenessand
the whole course of our national history
would have been different.

Increased faculties of transportation
and communication resulted the most
modern development of Industry. i Early
in the century the factory in which 100
men worked took the place of the hun
dred shopa in which one man worked.
Then came the second -development in
which 100 factories with 100 men in
each were consolidated under one man

of "manufacturing." If the reader of
this article will - look about him in the

that he will see a single object which

Xakta. of Glass.
Look about you. The glass tn the
window Is made by a process entirely
unknown a century ago. , It ia much
clearer, but It is also much more brittle
and much cheaper. Olass making was
once a trade it is now a business. The
desk before you it came from Grand
Rapids, and each piece of wood in it
was out by- a machine which cut 10,000
other pieces of identical slse and shape.
And you know that there are 10,000
other desks just like yours. Ninety
yeara ago your deak would have been
made by your own cabinetmaker at the
village wood shop. . The radiator steam
heat and the steel trust were alike un
dreamed of SO years ago. Perhaps you
or your Jit tie son has a dollar watch.
The men who work in the factory where
those watches are made ' get higher
wage than the watchmaker of the first
of the century. Vet no one . of them
con id make a whole watch.-' -.
Tne individual artisan could not have
made a watch for anything like so lit
tle cost . The dollar watch was made
possible by machinery and collective in
dustry. .,.-.:--,.':...,'..,..-
The progress of this development Is
by no means completed. The changes
or the coming nine decades will be many
and wonderful. - There can be little
doubt that the separation of the work
man from all voice in the direction of
his labor, caused by the Introduction of
the modern system, wiu do moainea.
The workman will have a certain share
In the direction of affairs, and capital
will be none the less profitable because
it , recognises jlhat. right v , ; , , -.
Factory and Home. -V V ,..
- As the' homes of today are fitted up
with scores of factory-made articlea
which were unheard of a generation
ago. ao the homes of the next genera
tion will be chan red by the progress of
Industrial' art The demand for manu
factured thing's will continue - to - in
crease. Let the doubter think this over
20 years afro there wasn't such a thing
as a ready-cooked cereal breakfast food.
Today the money spent for advertising
by the ready-cooked food is more than
the amount paid for all uncooked cereal
breakfast foods consumed then. '
The promise of increased demand is
grat etui, - because It - is only ' upon that
basis that the manufacturing lntereats
can- hope to keep up with the march of
progresa predicted - for - the -remainder
of thla century. If the- development
should be In the ' same ratio as the
growth of the- last (0 years,- the fac
tories of the United States .would have
an output many times greater than that
of the whole - world today. , Not only
greatly Increased population and wealth, :
hut a rraater . Individual demand -far
manufactured articles will be necessary
to sustain - the relative Importance of
manufactures. That all of these condi
tions will be met is as certain as any
thing In future can be. ,
When the year 2,000 comes the Indus
try and trade of this country will be
greater In extent than that of the whole
world today. That is. If we progress
only one tenth as rapidly In the future
as we have In the past The- waste of
the present methods - of -manufacture
will be stopped.' Principles of economy
wnl be applied to industry and trans
portation so that there will bs ao lost
motion. , - -- ' . .s

The Industrial world today knows
that a ton of coal under a gas engine
will give three times aa much power as
the same ton of coal .under a steam en
gine.' Yet steam engines still prevail.
The United States -of 9 years hence
will not permit that wasted energy to
float out of Its .smokestacks. Every
stream in the country with a sufficient
fall of water will be utilised for the
manufacture of electrio current from
water power, eliminating the fuel prop
osition from a large percentage of the
factories of the country. - -
Transportation will be a science 90
years hence. Instead of the enigma It ia
today. The railroads will carry . the
profitable high-class freight, while low
class slow freight will be transported
on inland waterways. The country con
fesses today that ft does not under
stand the problems of transportation,
but it also announces that It is- deter
mined to study the subject until it does
understand it., Ninety years - will see
the means of transportation separated
I from the stock gambling business to be
conducted on sound principles in the In
terest of transportation. .. .; ;
By the year 2,000 the reforested areas
of the country will be yielding magnifi
cent returns, and the folly of the reck
less denudation of the mountains will
have , been expiated and atoned for. A
system will be in force by which the
forests- will furnish each year, a suf
ficient amount of lumber for necessary
uses, the while restoring Itself auto
matically. About tha,t time the. ques
tion of oneninr the government fuel
deposit j reserves will be a live topic,
and the wisdom of the policy of con
servation of natural resources will be
proved.' '"-m.- .''.:..-.-.

Members- of J congress , will read from'

of 1008 the accounts of the meeting of
srovernora , at the White House in the
administration ' of President Roosevelt
They will praise the men who partici
pated and call ' them blessed. . At the
same time, no doubt, they -will comment I
on the fact (hat the poor quality' of
paper used In -1908 resulted 60 - years
ago - In the necessity of photographing1
the files in the congressional libary be
fore it was too late. ; They will then
refer to the excellent, condition of the
newspapers of 1808, 'with their strong
paper and excellent ink. . Not all of the
processes of the modern system of man
ufacture are superior to the old-fashioned
way. 'But long before the year
2000 the newspapers will be printed on
paper made from cotton stalks, or corn
stalks, or some other plant which can
be grown as an annual crop.
The effect of new 'and unindlcated
changes in Industry cannot be esti
mated, but If present conditions are car
ried forward V their natural results
the industrial life of tne . fullgrown
America will be wonderful beyond the
grasp of our Imaginations. The next

Owner of II full gold quarts claims, adjacent to Murray, in the celebrated Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, mining district, requiring
' a few more thousand dollars to carry the development of its mine to the producing point, has decided to sell in Portland
80,000 shares of its treasury stock to consummate that purpose. The exact location of this property is three miles west of '
Murray, in region any Idaho miner will 'inform the Inquirer is fabulously rich in not only gold, but silver and lead as well,

Its worth is established beyond all question. This has been demonstrated over and over, in the nine tunnels we have driven,
some of them 300 to 400 feet in length. In these we have cut many rich veins of ore, and now we are to begin cross-
cutting on these veins, and as sure as the sun shines from the sky above before many months our 220 acres of ground will
, be turning out gold at a rate that will pay tremendous dividends to every stockholder. This is the history of the district.
