WATERWAYS OF THE ORIENT
Most Important Feature of the Canals
Is That They Run Parallel to
the Seacoast.

The most interesting and il
some respects the most important
feature of the waterway system il
China is the canal system. Run
ningmoreorless parall othesea
coast from Hongkong to Picking
through a very rich portion of the
empire, certainly the most impor
tant portion, commercially, at the
present time is the Grand or I'm
perial canal of China. Connect
ing with this at either hand ar,
smaller canals. These in turn con
meet with still smaller waterways,
and still further arc smaller
streams, until the Yangtze and
Yellow river plains are a vast net
work Of waterways designed
originally for irrigation very large
.ly, but used at the present time
both for irrigation and transpor
tation. TO get at Chinese CONNER
cial conditions one must thor
oughly understand this system Of
streams and canals. 1t is a char
acteristic part of the life Of the
Chinese people. There will be no
system Of railroads to supplantit
Units close relation Of life here, and
any commercial system or theory
which disregards it will fall short
Of success. The rivers and wa
terways Of the empire are the
basis for heavy Transportation
and traffic for years to come, and
the railroad system, for which
there il hope will not supplant
but merely supplement them.

How Married Couple Managed 10
scrimp Along Through a Twelve
month Of Welded Bliss.

We are in receipt Of so helpful
a letter from one of our subscrib
ers that we gladly publish it in
full, says Mrs. Wilson Woodrow,
in Life, 1t follows!
after reading one of the slim.
ulating and inspiring letters in a
woman's magazine, wherein a
father of lies states that himself,
his wife and ten children lived IN
modest luxury on a salary of
$500 a year, my husband looked at
me with an expression of one who
sees a new planet swim into his
ken.
Dear Mary he murmured, ex-
citedly, this thing must be carried
to its logical conclusion. If these
people can live on almost nothing,
should not we, with our combined
wits, live on nothing at alp
"At first his idea seemed far
fetched, and then | embraced it
with enthusiasm. This was the
result:
Between us we had 9S cents
with which to start our interest
ing experiment; but as my hus-
band pointed out to me, quick wits,
readiness of resource, colossal
nerve, a good acquaintance among
smart people and the appearance
of wealth constitute a better cap
ital than mere dollars.
"Of course, my husband being a
croo-a f%inancier, and myself an
adventure perfect lady, # was.
necessary for us to wear expensive
clothes. My idea of economy is
not to skimp on the wardrobe;
buy the best you can possibly get
the tradespeople to trust you for.
"Cultiyate your social gifts to
the utmost and seek constantly to
enlarge your acquaintance. Set
this down as al axiom: The more
people you know the more you can
borrow from, and the more you
can impress and dazzle them, the
more they will yield.
"In our case, as | have stated.
our entire income for the year was
SO cents. Our expenses were 500.
600. BY careful, prudent borrow.
ing we managed to raise $4,000.
and in Difference to my husbands
strict ideas of honor, this was at
once applied on our debts.
"Nith the experience thus
gained, we hope, without increas
ing our expenditure, to borrow
at least $4,000 during the coming
year, and be able to set aside a
sum to give in judicious e. arity.r

APPLE Has A LONG DESCENT
Traced Back to the cave-D wellers Of
Swiss Lakes-Interesting
History Found

Among the fruits of the rose
family are apples, pears, peach
es, plums, cherries and quin

berries and blackberries. The ap.
pie is a fruit of long descent.
Among the ruins of the Swiss lake
dwellers are found remains of
small seed apples which show the
seed valves and the grains of flesh.
The crab apple is a native Of Brit
ain and was the stock on which
were grated the choicest vari.
cites when brought from Europe,
chiefly France. Apples of some
sort were abundant before the
conquest and had been introduced
probably by the Romans. Yet

the thirteenth century. Then on

Disease in Telephone

Consul Mahin, of Nottingham,
reports that the suggested trans
mission of disease by telephone
mouthpieces has led the British
General Electric company to de.
wise an instrument in which all
danger is avoided by simply abol.
ishing the mouthpiece. The receiy.
ing and Transmitting apparatus is
combined in a small metal case.
shaped like a watch, which is held
continuously to the ear both in
speaking and in listening. the
transmitting microphone being
made SO sensitive that it becomes
unnecessary to concentrate the
sound waves on it by the aid of any
mouthpiece, such as is ordinarily
used. Mounted on a.handle. with
a speaking key. the new arrange.
ment is exactly similar to the com.
bined receiver and transmitter.
Except that thereis no mouthpiece,
and the speaker, as it we're, adj.
dresses himself to the world al
large, instead Of talking into a
trumpet-shaped orifce.

way in through that gateway. Then
mysterious things happened, and the
Yaquina railroad has since been used
only for the transportation Of summer
vacationists between the valley and
the seaside. In the meantime, it has
become well understood that Yaquina
bay can never become seaport aeces-
sible to deep draught vessels; that the
gov, rnment will never blast a ship
channel through the miles of rocky
lodges that guard the entrance to that
inlet, in which, by the way, the dimin
utive General Wright could not turn
around without line TO the dock.
Now let the great valleys of Oregon
understand that all that was once
hoped for in the case of Yaquina is
easily obtainable at Coos Bay; that a
very reasonable appropriation from the
government will make Of Coos Bay a
lArbor accessible to the largest ships
that float; that strictly within the
lines of most conservative truth, Coos
Bay can easily be made better and
ineomparably more accessible harbor
than the Columbia river can ever be.
Let them be shown that when the
whole influence Of the state of Oregon
is expended in getting the largest pos
sible appropriation for the Columbia
river r gigantic mistake is being made.
Let them be convinced that tho inter
ests Of every part Of Oregon except
the northwest corner lies with the dc.
velopment Of Coos Bay.
IL Portland be well represented at
the coming meeting, let us give her
delegations a warm weleome-and do
our best TO disatnse their minds Of the
idea that the crying need Of Coos Bay,
without which we are slowly sinking
in the Slough Of Despond. is that sort
of closer relations contemplated in
their dream of selling us their goods,
but buying none Of ours.
In short, let us meet these delegates
fro mthe interior of the state In spir.
