YOU ENJOY A GOOD SMOKE? Eighty Per Cent of the Imports Are From the United States Half the Value of the Exports Is In Sponges Pineapples, Guava and Other Tropical Fruits Form' the Balance of the , Exports. American Consul Thos J. McLain at Nassua, Bahama Islands, sends the following interestlnc report on tho trade of tho Islands: The total Value of tho exports from the Bahamas during tho six months ended June 30, 1903, can be safely stated at about $525,000, while the Imports reached the sum of $750,000," says Mr. McUiln. "Of the exports, about $500,000 worth wont to the United States, and of the Imports about $600,000 worth camo from the United States. The sponge Industry continued to be the most Important business ot the colony, and the amount taken by tho United States maintained about Its usual proportion, reaching Borne $275,000 per annum. The trado was, for a portion of 1902, rather dull, but during the first six months of 1903 It began to recover. The crop of pineapples was fairly good, prices ranging rather lower than usual. More than $150,000 worth was shipped to the United States. There was some Increase In the number preserved. Some guavas were also preserved. The orange and grape fruit came Into market later In the season. Tho quantity of grape fruit is Increasing. A destructive hurrlcano has just passed over this colony, which will seriously injure the orange and grape fruit for the ensuing fall. The Increase In tho quantity of hemp produced is quite marked, and this industry will continue to pros per. Over $100,000 worth was sent, mostly to the United States, during this period. Although considerable is done in the way of agriculture, there Is lit- tie In the sale or use of machinery, tho soil being altogether too rough and rocky. The Instruments In use are an old fashioned kind. The method of packing American goods for shipment to the colony is entirely satisfactory, and there Is no call for any changes In the mat' ter. Our shippers pay special at tentlon to this work. Three steamers tier month still continue to perform the service, furnishing abundant, speedy and prompt service". Two of the ships are American, under a colonial mall freight and passenger service, and the other Is working independently. During the six months ended June 30, 1903 especially during the four months of January-April we had two or three steamers per week pey Ing between Miami, Fla., and Nas sau. This service is made neces sary by reason of the two Iiotlshere being onen up to April 01 eacn year, and beine largely patronized from November to April by traveling Americans.

ANTIQUATED METHODS IN OLD MEXICO SIX YEARS TIME SAVED DAILY, Wonderful Economy Accomplished by the Longer Hours for Govern ment Employes.

YOU Should have that best of woorf DRY and FINE, that you will find with Drink REA1V1 It is Fine IN 1 and 2 LB. SEALED TINS ONLY E, S. Howe, the well known tim ber cruiser of Portland, has re turned from a trip to Mexico, where he went to look over a tract of tim ber. Thfs timber was located In the state of Durango, about 90 miles from Altata, which Is a small vil lage of 200 Inhabitants, and the present terminal of a short line of road running from the coast Inland to Cullcan, the capital of the state of Stnaloa. The character of the timber was represented to bo a fine body of sugar pine, covering somo 00,000 acres. Mr. Howe says after ho got on the ground ho failed to find only few sugar pine trees. However, ho did find some small bunches of Michigan cork pine species. This timber was very small,, cut ting about 100 feet to a 16-foot log. The trees made from three to five logs each. The character of tho land on which the timber grows Is exceedingly rough, with compara tively little soil, and Mr. Howe thinks that lumber would have to be worth nearly Its weight in gold In order to get It to tme water. This land was represented to car ry oak, walnut and other choice hardwoods, but a microscopic ex amination failed to find even one walnut tree. The oak was red. white and black, and very scatter ing. Some of the trees running from 14 to 20 Inches at tno stump, and quite tall, being of a fairly cood ouality. Some years ago an effort had been made to log this tract, but the attempt was abandoned. Six old chutes are still in place. which had been utilized in removing this timber from an altitude of some- 3,500 feet to the river. The Mexl- !s had lota of time ana rauies. Labor Is cheap, $1.00 per day in sil ver being the ruling rato of loggers' wages. After tho logs had decended one chute there would bo a Hat of one fourth to one-half mile where the Mexican and the urn It) would snako these logs through the mud to tho top of the next rhute. This operation was repeated somo five times until tho log finally reached the water. Tho river would rise as much at 40 feet In the can yon In 24 hours, and as It winds to ward the coast tho country flattens out into a level plain, tho bed of tho river being In some places two miles wide. Logs coming down on tho freshet cannot ho checked, be fore reaching tne sea, mnklng tho wholo scheme of river driving ut terly impracticable. In order to demonstrate tho lnnblllt- of tho Mexican to copo with tho winter tor rents, the railroad running from Cullcan to Altata crosses tho stream referred to. The Mexican takes no chances with theso turbulent waters, nnd promptly removes tho brldgo prior to the flood gates of heaven being turned looso. Long experience haB taught tho Mexican that tho safest place for his bridge Is high up on the bank of tho stream. 1 During tho annual recurring fresh et dugout canoes aro used to trans fer passengers, whllo barges aro used to transfer freight, the bridge being replaced after tho rainy sea son Is over, which lasts about four months. One thing which especially Indi cates the primitives manner of trans lortat!on, says Mr. Howe, Is tho fact that natives aro frequently met en horseback In tho mountains, with the characteristic hair ropo attach ed to the pommel of his saddle, tho other end being made fast to one single stick of wood, which tho rider drags to his home for fuel.
