Professor Rickard's Electro Parlors Basement of WMUwnette Hotel, Salem, Or efl Ilmzll Makes Her Own Jure Uugx. Doputy Con-wl-Gonernl Jooph J, Slechta of Rio Janolro furnlBhos tho following report on the conditions un dor which tho monopoly of Jute bag manufacturo Is profitably car rled on In Drnsll: Tho bags used to hold Drarll's Im monso coffeo crops aro manufactured b! national Industrial citabllsh monts. Whon It is romomborod that last year Hraztl needed over 20,000, 000 Jute bngs to hold tho year'a cof fee production, nnd that each bag costs tho shippers n trlflo over 18 cents, It is seen that tho business, of manufacturing coffoo bags taken on vory consldorabla proportions, amounting last year to nearly ?!, 000,000. Ragu mado of tho same maturlal aro used also for rlco, bonus and other agricultural products of Brazil. The grcator part of theo bags aro manufactured by live largo establishments, which havo hitherto been more or loaa Independent of enoh other. Two of the largest of the factories aro owned by an Amor lean, who Is nlso tho solo owner of large cotton mills. Through tho ef forts of this mill owner all five of the largo mills producing bags for coffeo ad other purpoBO? havo been brought under one management. Only a few weoks have elapsed -luce the comp'otlon of tho organiza tion, but already tho prlcoa havo boon raised about one-third of n cent a bag. Dago aro manufactured from the raw Jute, nearly all of which Is im ported front JJritlBl) countries, the Imports thore from In 1900 amount ing to about $2,500,000. Of course, the United Kingdom could produco the finished article much more cheaply than It could bo manufac tured here, but the Rem of duties Is a factor to bo reckoned with on that score. The duty on Juto bags is 800 rob per kilo (2.2 pounds), which becomes In actual payment, Including proportion payable in gold, about 35 cents. Tho average weight of bags used for coffee Is approxi mately 440 grams, or very nearly one pound, which means about 10 cents per bag in customs charges, and Blnco the manufacturer's price average a little more than 18 cents per bag, the duty amount to 88 per cent, as oacea on me price nere, while if bad on the manufacturers' prlco In EuglKiid It amounts to a much hlghor rate, o Railroad Look For flood Times, Goorgu Gould is pushing his plaui to roach tho Pacific, and thus to dl vldo with Hnrrlmau the honor of having n transcontinental railway that is transcontinental. Kvor alnco Onkos Ames on one of tho lino and C. P. Huntington oti tho othor bridged the territory betwoon Omaha nnd San Frnnolttco wo havo hud what wero cuphumlatlcally called trans continental roads, but tho first man who acquired a roul ocean-to-ocoan system under his own mauagemont was 1;. H. Harrlman. Ho has hud this for tho paHt throe weoks, or alnco tho llnkb wero completed which Joined his Georgia central with his Illinois contral and with his far western roads, And now the head of tho Missouri Puctflc Iu pushing his project to got through connection betwoon tho two big sons. When his Western Pacific is flnlshod ho will bo ablo to ntart from tho Pacific and rldo right through to tho Atlnntic on cars and ovor rails controlled directly by him self. Asked as to hla willingness to take tho risk of continuing hla work on his far westorn road, ho has said that tie looka for tho return or norm al times within twelve months, and ho wutita to bo iu position to tako advantage of tho prosperity. Llko all othor railway chlofa, nnd like tho nmjorlty of the pooplo, ho Is hoping for good crops in 1908, uh a moan of pulling buulnoss out of the slough or despond. Illg harvests had a vory important orroct in this direc tion In the latter part of tho panics or 1873 and 1893, and tho dopres Blon Iu out nearly ho great now as It was then. Tho fact that Harrlman announces ho will rosumo his work of Itnprov 'ng his lines is another indication that tho railway magnates bellove tho upward turn which is now under way will not bo interrupted. Tho ateit report showed that thore woro more Idle cars at that time thau at any other date since the beginning of the setback last October. This Is offset, however, by the record of earnings, which is bettor than It was a few weeks ago. The gap between the present lncomo of the roads and that of a year ago is not ai broad u it was in the earllor months of Notico to Coh true-lorn.
