Umatllla "Beats Them All"

The hot air we are about to give
you sounds like the fetid breath OF
one Lownsdals of the Webbfoot coun-
try, says Hood River paper.
However this wave of passionate
heat comes from sage and flea
stricken district of the Umatilla
sands. The gas current comes from
the jaw factory Of one Colonel II. G.
Newport, and explodes as follows:
"There is no doubt about our hav-
ing the best irrigation project in the
west and the best 10000 acres of land
now being developed in this part Of
the country. Within five years
neither Hood River nor Yakima can
hold a candle to us in the matter Of
early strawberries and
other fruits and vegetables. And 1t
makes difference whether you get
into a market along with other Sec
tions of the country or ten days ear
lier. And we will skin them both
by that much at least, one year with
another"

DRUMMERs' EXPERIENCES IN BRAZIL

Consul George A. Chamberlain
writes that though the United States
sold to the Brazilian port of Pernam-
buco during 1907 over $1,250,00O
worth of goods, only about a dozen
American commercial travellers Wis
tied the port during the year, eight
of them calling at the consulate. The
consul thus reviews trade-getting
methods:
1t seems impossible to convince
American firms who are try to enter
the export market of the importance
of good travellers as it is to persuade
them 10 pack merchandise with due
reference to the distance it has to
travel and to the mode of transporta-
tion.
Travellers can not be had for moth
ing. The cheap ones invariably turn
out to be very expensive and often
permanently ruin a market for the
careless firm that employs them.
Three glaring examples have come di-
rectly under my notice during the last
eighteen months.
Two Of the three representatives in
question had evidently been employ
ed on the sole consideration Of a
speaking knowledge of Spanish. Their
ideas OF business methods in general
were hay, and they were absolute
ly ignorant of the simplest formulas
of foreign trade. To my surprise
they all represented firms well known
throughout the United States.
The first of the three came out on
an arrangement by which he was to
receive $4,000, the first $1,000 in
New York, the next at Buenos Aires,
the next at Valparaiso, etc He spent
500 on his outfit and passage from
New York to Pernambuco, and, |
never having heard of a letter Of
credit, express checks, draft payable
10 self, or even a money belt, bought
three 800 notes aud put them away
in a cardboard box in his steamer
trunk, which was frequently left open
during the voyage.
After landing at Pernambuco he

These three cases contain several

These three cases contain several
lessons to firms and travellers alike.
Inexperienced houses who wish to es-
tablish or increase their trade in Bra
zil should give the following consider
atoms their careful attention:
There is an abundance of trade
here always, and that it is worth CO.
ing after can easily be seen by study
ing the statistics showing the pur-
chasing power of the country. To
secure a share in this trade it is alb
solutely necessary to send representa-
tives. A deaf and dumb person,
however, who knows how to do bus
mess and keep cheerful is a far bet
ter representative than a linguist who
never saw a letter of credit or an
order blank.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-08-08

discovered that he was penniless, and
then began a comedy of errors which
lasted for months. He cabled for
money; the firm sent 800 to the
telegraph office to be wired. 1t took
the firm three months to find out
that the money had never been sent
and three more to learn that it is
impossible to wire money to Brazil
through any cable company
In the meantime the traveller was in
absolute. distress. Not having receiv-
ed the 500, he continued to cable
on borrowed money. The tangle took
eight months to stralghten out. The
firm lost their original $1,000 and the
500 which they tried to wire to Per-
nambuco and finally sent there by
draft. The traveller lost his credit
and reputation and mas been practi-
cally destitute in Rio and Buenos
Aires for a year and a half, unable
to get home and sure Of trouble if he
does, All this through sending one
wholly ignorant of specialized work.
A Borrowing Tour.
The second case was that of an
American who arrived at Pernambuco
in financial difficulties. He was sent
with fine lot of samples and $1,000
to Rio de Janiero. To his great sur
prise he had to pay $500 duties on his
samples. He soon exhausted what
money he had left and started cab
ling for funds. His firm wired Or
ders on Brazilian banks, always send
ing about half what their representa-
tive required to meet past obliga-
tions.
He could not remain idle for two
months waiting for proper funds and
went ahead, covering all southern
Brazil by borrowing from each GUS
Toner enough to see him to the next
own. His firm was we'll known and
he managed to get the money, but
With what damage to the credit Of his
employers can easily be imagined.
he was still borrowing when he ar
lived at Pernambuco and told the
writer that he owed sums of $50 and
100 as far back as Rio Grande do
sui, which he had left two months
before.

on October 1st next the Southern
Pacific and other Hartman roads and
the santa Fe via this port, the Hill
roads via Seattle and the Canadian
Pacific via Vancouver, will adopt new
export and import rates on transpa-
clfic shipments, says the San Fran,
cisco Examiner
These rates are to go into effect
on November /. The new export
rates will represent large advance
over the present tariff, while the i'm,
port rates will also be advanced but
not to the same extent as the export
rates.
Weep President and General Manag-
er r. p. Schwerin of the Pacific Mail
said yesterday that in his opinion the
Pacific Mail, the Hill and the En-
press lines will be so handicapped by
these new rates in competition with
the steamers via Suez as to practical
ly force them out Of transpaciflc
freight traffic.
Because Of their large annual gold
subsidies from the japanese govern
ment, Mr. Schwerin says in his opin-
ion the Toyo Kisen Waisha company
at this port and the Nippon Yusen
Kalsha company at Seattle. will be
able to remain in the business in spite
of the advanced railroad rates and
compete with the Suez lines.
When asked If there was deal on
to sell out the Pacific Mail to the Jap
anese or other people, he said:
"I do not know Of any such deal
don't see", said Vice-President
Schwerin, chow the steamer lines at
San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver
are going to exist under these new
rates of the railroads. We have got
to compete with Suez and II we can't
make rates to meet It we will simply
have to get out of the business.
"Curios, mating, tea, raw silk,
earthenware and flrecrackers make up
the bulk Of our imports from the
Orient. These shipments annually via
San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver
run up into the millions. In view of
the new import rates of the railroads
I cannot figure out how the steamer
lines on this coast are going to re-
tain this business. 1t will be left to
the japanese lines at this port and
Seattle and the Suez lines to fight for
the bulk of it.
Machinery, cotton, beer and con-
densed milk probably constitute the
bulk of the exports from the eastern
section of this country to the Orient.
The Suez lines already take a large
amount of these articles and they will
probably take them all when the new
export rates of the railroads go into
effect"
Flour and lumber shipments from
this coast to the Orient are, of course,
not affected.

American firms in arranging to

Fuses Are Made to Blow Out.

With everybody travelling more or
less. usually more. in electrically driv
en- cars and trains, the time has GER
tain!y come for general appreciation
of the fact that the blowing out OF
fuses is nothing TO excite alarm.
To be startled-tO Jump" as the
saving is-when this happens Is tht
privilege of all except the professional
electricians. The latter are bound by
professional pride to show perfect Inn
FEASIBILITY even when the sudden fash
singes their fingers. and 1t Is delight
full to see how many Of them have at
tanned to this command OF thei
nerves. TO jump Is one thing, however,
while to fall into a senseless panic Is
quite another.
To blow out is the duty and destiny
of fuses. and when they have done 1t
such danger as there was Is all over.
Nothing worse than delay can follow,
unless the passengers proceed to make
wild rushes for which there Is no need
whatever. Travellers should keep these
facts carefully In mind.-New York
Times.

A Little Card Trick.

A Russian priest was so devoted to
the amusement Of card playing that
he played up to the last moment be-
fore commencing the church services
On one occasion, having particularly
good hand dealt him, he thrust the
cards into his pocket, intending to re-
turn and finish the game after the
service. Unluckily the cards fell out
on the church floor, to the extreme
scandal OF the congregation. The wit
ty priest. however, was fully equal to
the occasion. At the conclusion OF the
service he beckoned up one OF the
choristers and asked him the names or
several Of the cards, which the boy
knew correctly. He then suddenly
asked the lad the name Of the next
saints day, which the child could not
tell.
Seer cried the priest. turning to
the congregation. "You teach your
children the names Of every card in
the pack and leave them ignorant OF
their religion. Let this be the last
time I am compelled to bring playing
cards into the church to shame you
AMI picking up his hand lie made an
honorable retreat-London Answers.
