BOASTS OF GOOD SCHOOLS.
Baker City Paper Claims Best lnstitu
tions in Oreuon,

The Evening Herald. Of Baker City
makes the following claim for the
schools and teachers Of that county:
Baker county boasts of having the
best corps of teachers In the state oi
Oregon, and for that matter I'm the
northwest. At the Trans Mississippi
exposition few years ago the Baker
county school exhibit took the first
prize, and since that time at different
periods the work in the schools Of Bak-
er county has received enViable praise
from eminent men In school work all
over the Pacific coast"
1t is all right for the Baker City
people to think well and speak we'll
Of their locall al gseifoois=-and such an AT
titude on the part Of the citizens and
newspapers helps to make good schools,
by giving the teachers a feeling of
moral support In their work. But when
Baker county claims the best schools
and teachers in the state and the
northwest, 1t is putting the case pretty
strong.
For example, If the educational ex-
pert on the Evening Herald would
make careful examination of
the good schools in the state It
is certain he would find AS
toria on the map and worthy of
mention. Many of the students that
have gone out from the public schools
have demonstrated the thoroughness of
their preparation and are now holding
honorable places in social and busi-
ness circles. So, while praising the
work in Baker county, don't forget
that there are other worthy schools
and teachers In the state of Oregon
and in the great northwest.

TRADE WITH THE BELLIGERENTS.

The assertion is occasionally made that our com
mercial relations with Russia are more advantageous
than those with Japan This remark might hayt
been justified 10 years ago when our exports to
Russia were considerably more than our exports I,
Japan, but all this has changed says the Ledger In
1897 exports to Japan for the first time exceeded
total exports to Russia and Asiatic Russia and
for the last years Japan has been better Gus
toner for American goods than the Russian empire
In 1894 the total value of American products ex-
ported to Japan was $3,9S6,Sl5, while Russia in
cluding Asiatic Russia purchased $6,991 $3.50 worth
of American products. But for the year ending
June 30, 1903 the total exports of American prod
ucts to Russia were valued at $16,97l 500, while our
exports to Japan were valued at 500 933 692. Ten
years ago the Russian market was worth $3000,OO0
more than the japanese to American exporters. The
year before the outbreak of the present war Japan
purchased $4000000 worth of American goods more
than Russia. Our exports to Japan increased ST.
100000, or at the rate of 425 per cent, while our
sales to Russia increased S100OO000 or at the rate
of 40 per cent.
OH Tie OlleF manu- our imports lIOH Jdpdll III
creased from $40 ,522 in 1894 to $44 14372S, a
gain of nearly $25000,000, while our imports from
Russia increased from $3,206,746 to $9262969, an
increase of 100000 during the same period. Our
imports from Japan are exceedingly important to
American industries Raw silk to the value of nearly
$25000000 the basis of one of great industries
was brought to this country from Japan in 1903.
We do not produce raw silk to any extent in this
country, but we have been able, with the
use of silk principally from Japan, to beat
France in the production of silk. American silk goods
were awarded the first prize over French silks at the
Paris exposition of 1900. We also imported S6000-
900 worth of tea, $2,700000 worth of mattings and
about $4,000,000 worth of manufactured silk from
Japan in 1903. Our imports from Russia are chiefly
hides and wool, which we can produce here while
we cannot produce the raw silk
Our total foreign commerce with Japan amounted
in 1903 to $65000000. as compared with $26 100000
with Russia Our commerce with Japan increased
$42O0000O from 1894 to 1903, while our commerce
with Russia was increasing $16,0OO0O0 There would
seem to be some justification for American interest
in the fortunes Of Japan.
