This Is Business.

In the last five years the largest per-
centage of gain in United States exports
has been across the Pacific, with
Asia and Oceanica. These are the
figures of increase for ten months from
$25, 5S7, 421 in 1895 to $50. 500, 1873 in
the present year, a gain of 226 per cent
Temporarily, there is a falling off in ex-
ports to China on account Of military
condition of the country. But to Japan
this year the United States has sent
goods valued at over 500, 900, 900, or
so per cent more than in 1899. There
has also been an increase in exports to
Hong Kong and Asiatic Russia. Our
exports to Africa have almost tripled
since 1895, standing this year at ST.
100000 for ten months. In Hawaii the
Philippines and Alaska there is large
increase in trade, but as this is our Own
territory the figures are not included in
this showing.
1t is to the Pacific that the producers
of the United States may look for the
most rapid enlargement of foreign trade.
South America, to which our average
exports are not more than SD, 100000
a month, and which sells us more than
it buys, is a less promising field than
the Pacific. European countries take
special pains to cultivate business rela-
tions with South America and a cOnven-
tion composed of representatives from
the Spanish speaking countries has just
been held in Madrid. It's results were
chiefly sentimental, for Spain is in no
position to assume any commercial
leadership. The completion OF the
Nicaragua canal will open to American
enterprise new facilities for reaching the
Pacific side of South America, Asia and
Oceanica, and as our de there is
growing at q greater ratio than with
any other part of the world American
merchants, manufacturers and traders
must keep sharp eyes on Developments
in the vast ocean that borders on the
most pOpulous part of the world. Even

Reapportionment Bill.

In fOrcible way the OregOnian calls
attention to matter of vital import
ance to the state of Washington and the
country west of the Mississippi in gen.
eral. 1t is to the inequalities of what is
known az the Hopkins bill apportioning
congressman and presidential electors.
Here it is in several words, with COM
ments Of the Walla Walla Union added:
The Hopkins apportionment bill
makes plea for the state of Washing
ton which should be understood and
appreciated by the people of this state.
This Infamous bill has been reported
favorably to the house and it gives one
additional representative to Louisiana,
Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, New
York and West Virginia, and two add
tional representatives to Texas, these
increases being effected through the loss
of one each by Indiana, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Maine, Nebraska, Ohio, South
Carolina and Virginia.
The object of the Hopkins scheme is
to keep the membership of the house the
same as it is at the present time. The
Oregonian says:
1.-THE inequities of the bill are manifest.
and grow out of determination to re-
strict the house to its present member
ship. The price paid for this slight gain
to convenience is too high. 1t makes
very little difference whether the house
consists of 357 members or of 3S5. and
it makes still less difference whether the
electoral college has AT votes or AIS
But it makes much difference whether
some states are unjustly treated-s0
much that it is doubtful if the Hopkins
bill can survive the strenuous fight that
will be made upon it. The Crumpacker
bill is far better. The west, for one
should stand out for Justice to the state
OF Washington, not only because the
extra representative and electoral vote
to which it is entitled will strengthen
the west in congress- but because Wash
ington's growth in population entities if
to that recognition. 1t shows the num-
Der OF representatives, Mr.. Hopkins pro.
poses to give the various states he j.
willing to reward, their population
under the census of 1900, and the aver
age number of inhabitants to each of
their representatives. 1t also includes
corresponding figures for the state of
Washington:

from that country are looked for as
regularly each year as the Fourth of

pretty climbing plant Clematis pani-

Thunberg says that in Japan it flowers
during August and September, and it
has retained this character in its new
American home
Meehan's Monthly concludes the
foregoing illustrated mention of this
good thing, which has only recently
become really well known, by noting
the proper pronunciation of clematis.
The accent is on the first syllable
clem-atis. 1t is word Of Grecian Ori-
gin and simply means a ropelike
branch to bind with.

enough for Washington"

enough for Washington"
The Walla Walla Union says the Ore
gOnian's figures and criticisms are time
ly. They show that Of the eight states
named Washington has larger popula-
ton for each member OF congress than
any OF the other states. And yet if the
state of Washington was allowed to
have a representative based on her
average OF the above figures, popuIa-
ton and membership, she would be en-
titled to three members. Ia the eight
states named above the total number of
members provided under the Hopkins
bill is 1O4, while the total population OF
the eight states is 81 ,631 ,62l. The
basis, therefore, is one member for every
2O7 1896 Of population. If Mr. Hopkins
had made this the basis of his appor-
IiOnment, justice would have been done
to the state of Washington.
1t is fact, which any man Of healthy
mind must admit, that the state of
Washington would be III reality entitled
to greater per cpntage in the appor-
tIonment than the state which is no
more dereely populated if discrimination
is to be used. This is true from the fact
that everything is in the formulative
period, and the congressman are com
PEELED TO do more work than are those
in older states.
1t is evident from the reception given
the Hopkins bill 10 the house that the
friends OF the state Of Washington will
have to be up and doing if they expect
to defeat it.
The attempt will be made to hurry
the appOrtiOnmeDt bill through so that
the legislatures of the different states
will have time to take action and re
| arrange the districts this winter In
every city in the state action should be
taken Immediately denouncing the IN
fairness of the Hopkins bill and backing
up the fight that will be made by the
Washington delegation 10 congress from
this state against it, Not only that
but whatever Influence citizens of the
state are able TO exert among the mem
bers of the house and senate from other
states should be used to defeat this bill

rights of the young state OF Washing
