DES MOINES. Feb. 7. (Special Tele

the detective department and selling them
to the persons photographed. These were
pictures In the rogue's gallery and It was
believed that the defective was making a
nice thing on the side by accepting pay
for getting these pttcures out of the rec
ords. The scandal In the health department
of the city did not come to a head today,
but a resolution was put before the council
dismissing the head of the department
and this precipitated an investigation.

said today that he will go on the lecture
platform for the prohibitionists". For many
years he was a traveling man for liquor
houses, then operated a large number of
saloons In Des Moines, at one time owning

Increase In Import.
Farm oraducta have alwava constituted
a large part of our Imports, but not the
preponderant share that such products
hold In our export trade. In the '60s only
about one-third of our Imports were farm
products. But their Importance gradually
Increased, and In 187S to the end of the
century agricultural products made up
Just about one-half of the total. In some

falling below the 60 per cent line. Since
ltOO, however, while farm product hav
cAntlnned to increase, the gain In Import
of manufacture and other nonagrlcultural
articles has been even greater, so mat
only about 41 per cent of the total Import
since 1900 are to be classed a agricul
tural. By comparing Import with exports It Is
fmmd that for the five years 1901-1905
our average export of cotton, grain and
grain product exceeded by ST4,uuu,uui) our
total Imports of product of the farm.
Gain on Population.
Tmnnrta nt agricultural products have
increased much faster than population
during the period covered by this review.
In the period 1851-1866 these import av
eraged in value $2.71 per capita; during
th five year 1901-1906 the average was
5.87. Of thl increase of $2. per capita
is mim wa due to Increased Imports of
Ilk, 65 cent to packing house products,
46 cents to vegetable fibers, 28 cent to
coffee, 20 cent to wool, 18 cent to to
bacco, 17 cent to all fruit. 10 cent to
cocoa and chocolate and 7 cent to veg
etable oil.
Comparing the two periods, 1851-1S56 and
ifti.innK it la found that in fifty years Im
ports of coffee increased from seven to
twelve pounds per capita, imports oi i
frrwm three-fourths to one and two-tenths,
and Import of sugar from seventeen to
forty-lx pounds per capita, wnne ourm

tobacco doubled and Imports of wool treb

Import price ebBWieome marked change-
Cheeae rose .from 9 cent a pound in
IS61 to 19 cent a pound in itw, in m
.t. from 22 cent to 70 cents a bushel
during the ame period. Manila hemp, im
ported direct from the Philippine, was
i..rt at 178 a ton In 1862. when first
recorded separately among the Imports; It
ha subsequently more than doubled in
price, being rated at $171 per ton in 1908.
Philippine sugar, on the other hand, de

Difference In Charges.
Raw silk Imported from Italy I valued
higher than that from the far east, and of
the latter the silk from Japan I higher
than that from China. Brazilian coffee
show an Import price little more than half
that of coffee from the Dutch East In
dies, (Java and Sumatra) but Guatemalan
coffee come almoat as high as the latter.
Before 1861, however, there was little dif
ference In price between coffee from Bra
11 and from the Dutch East Indies; In fact
for four out of. ten year the price of
Brusllllan coffee waa the higher. In th
early nineties Cuban wrapper tobacco was
fr.mientlv valued below Sumatra wrapper;
In the five year ending 1908 the Import
price of Cuban was 75 per cent higher, i ne
relative import prices of Cuban and Turk
ish filler tobacco vary considerably from
year to year. Thus In 1903 and 1904 Turkish
was u.s per cent higher, but In the next
four veers Cuban was invoiced at a rate
60 per cent higher than Turkiah.
