THE EIGHT-HoUR DAY.

All men with just conception of
the rights of humanity believe in the
principle of the eight-hour day for
the employe.
But like all great and radical
changes, it is matter OF growth and
equitable application. Its one over
whelming antagonist today is the
fierce and universal competition in
business; the narrowness of the mar
gins upon which nine-tenths of the
trade Of the world is done.
It is comparatively easy for the
Government to concede the splendid
privilege to its employees; there is no
crying necessity for a nine, ten or
twelve-hour day with Uncle Sam; he
can dispatch his affairs and make the
people pay for the better and ampler
service; the people themselves easily
concede it when he ordains it. And
the great trust can do the same thing
when it has put competition on the
"bum."
But the ordinary small manufac-
turer and business man is not SO free
to grant the concession, however will
ing he may be in the humane sense.
By the terms of every contract he
makes with his trade he is compelled
to nourish the last resource Of his
business; and time and service are Of
the very essence of that contract if
he is to make the admissible profit
his investment justifes.
There are two sides to every issue
on earth and there always remains
the inalienable privilege Of rendering

KILLING THE OLD CRAFT.

Slowly, but surely, the stenograph-
er and typewriting machine are kill
ing the old craft of writing.
The typewriter letter and record are
becoming the rule of the day and
that rule is going farther afeld
every day and hour. The work of
the pen in the commercial world is
being fast circumscribed to mere
substitution, to the hurried scrawl Of
the moment to meet some exacting
emergency. Socially, of course, it
still figures as one Of the utilities, but
this is only question of the time
when the machine shall be brought
to the pass of employing the delicate
script Of the women of fashion, sigma
ture and all, and then only the school
children will be left to carry on the
old and distinguished art
1t is not altogether healthy nor
gratifying sign of the times; but it
has all the appearance Of fixed and
universally accepted theory and
course Of action, and as such, will
surely supervene to the ultimate OBJ
liberation of the pen and its distinc-
tive work.

reaching out from her remote and
dubious vantage to take over the
commercial interests of the William
ette and Columbia, along with the
bar Of the latter, and will endeavor to
annex the shipping of the basin, the
one and only jurisdiction confronting
her being our own. What she viii do
with the new privileges remains to
be seen; and it is easily conceded she
viii do her best by them and by her
own interests, as she should do; but
we are still here, still waiting and
watching and preparing for the day
when the foreign feet of sea carriers
shall have dwindled to such proper
tons as shall compel recourse to this
port to renew and expand it. The
day viii come, alright! And other
rails and other ports are to contrib
ute to the diversihcation of the COM
mercial interests OF Oregon. The
new general port law Of the State
will help immensely to that end, and
it were we'll achieved. We want to
see the maritime interests OF the
State spread out in a score of direc-
tons, knowing as we do that the
Columbia basin must always, and in
evitably, command an enormous
share Of the export and import busi-
ness Of the Northwest
Portland, with less than IL square
miles Of harbor territory; with con-
yested channel ways and a port that
IS useless after the 50th ship enters
it, must one day go up against her
limit. While this sinks in on the
commercial conscience, we shall come
into our own along with every avail
able harbor in the State. There are
huge interests in this river and valley
,eside those Of Portland and others are
coming. Time and the exigencies of
rade will find the harbor for thou
and ships next to the sea, and use it.

AFTER THE CHINESE.
Trying to Break up .Contraband
Trade from Mexico.

SANTA ANA. Cal, Jan. 2o-Thc
Cinnamon who travels the under,
ground route from Mexico to Los
Angeles may find it harder to make
connections from now on.
Knowing that Chinese are being
brought into this state from Mexico
H.H. Weddle, inspector in charge Of
the immigration service for Southern
California has decided to offer reward
that may help break up the contra
band trade.
Weddle has just completed a trip
through Orange County which is on
the alleged route Of the underground,
and has offered for every Chinaman
caught, IS; for every guide Of contra
band parties $50; for every master OF
a vessel landing Chinese 500.
The inspector believes there is an
organized gang that escorts bands OF
Chinese from Mexico to Los Angeles
at fixed price per head. II has long
been thought here that Chinese were
landed on the coast in the northern
part of San Diego County, from which
point Mexican guides escort the Chi
nese to some point between FL Toro
and Santa Ana, where automobiles
from Los Anpeles pick them up.

The industry is a very profitable
one for persons having sufficient

WANTED; A CONCRETE PLANT,


From casual remarks made by
practical men Of this community al
odd times during the past two years,
we are led to believe that a good,
up.to-date concrete plant would pay
At this end Of the river. especially in
this city, whence all contiguous
points could be cheaply and quickly
reached by rail and water. The en-
terprise does not call for a great
abundance OF capital, skilled labor
and the essential ingredients being the
commanding needs Of the venture,
and as to the latter, the sands and
rocks Of this territory are said to be
unequiyocally well adapted to the
manufacture Of cement.
1t is one Of those propositions that
would have to build up from the
very ground. Cement, in the COM
mercial sense and use, is not ia
miliar matter here; but it is so wide
" adaptable, so wonderfully useful,
and. comparatively, so cheap, it
would not take long to initiate it as
a standard element OF utility here,
and it would pay from the start, pro-
vided that start was not too elabo-
rate. The range Of form, use, and ap-
plication Of this cheap and durable
material, is simply illinitable, and the
demand for it here could be easily
cultivated since the stuff commends
itself the world over to builders, ar
tisans and engineers; and the venture,
at this point would be practically
free from competition. a considera-
ton that goes long way to make
the departure successful from the
very beginning.
This is the one particular line that
invites the interest of the man with
few thousands to invest, and with
good judgment exercised in its de-
velopment, we believe it would be
immensely successful.

HOW VANILLA IS GROWN
N HAWAII
AN ESSENTIAL INDUSTRY IN
THE SOUTH SEAS.

The growing Of the vanilla bean Of
commerce has attained considerable
importance in Hawaii, where a num-
Der of successful small plantations
have been producing for number Of
years, Jared G, Smith, late director
Of the United States Agricultural Ex.
pertinent Station in Honolulu, gives
the following on vanilla in his book.
Agriculture in Hawaii"
"The vanilla bean is the cured and
fermented fruit Of climbing orchid,
The finished pods are very dark
brown or black, glossy somewhat
wrinkled on the surface, from five to
eight inches long and about as thick
as lead pencil. The vanilla extract
Of commerce is simply an alcoholic ex
tract.
The vanilla plant is grown either
on trellis or is planted at the base
Of tree so that it can Chamber up the
trunk. Any soil is suitable, provided
the drainage is good 1t grows well
in regions Of abundant rainfall on the
Kona(south or southwesD side of the
islands. A mean temperature of from
6s deg to rs deg gives good results.
The plants are propagated from
cuttings, which are simply lengths Of
the vine itself, from two to six feet
long, The length Of the cutting has
some relation to flower production,
the longer ones yielding flowers in a
shorter period The leaves are cut
from the lower end OF the cutting and
the stripped portion of the stalk is
buried horizontally under two or three
inches of soil and rotting leaves. The
upper end of the cutting is fastened
to the trunk OF the supporting tree to
which it soon becomes tightly attach
ed by its asrial roots.
The vanilla plant begins to flower
during its second or third year and
continues flower production until sew
en- or eight years old. Cultivation
consists in keeping down the weeds
and underbrush in the plantation.
"The vanilla plant only bears pods

ONE PORT ON COLUMBIA.

As matter of fact and despite all
quibbling, there is but one real or
ganic port on the Columbia river, and
that is the Port of Astoria.
OF course, up on the Willamette, II
miles from its confluence with the
greater river, there is port port
Iand), but it is in its own separate
valley and upon the banks Of one Of
the coiumbia's tributaries. We are
particular in stating these things be-
cause we do not want the unthinking
to confound the Willamette valley
town with the real Columbian terri
tory. This is the only port on this
river, and it may be well TO remember
this some day, when there are issues
afoot in which its significance shall
figure more conspicuously than it
does at this time.
In the meantime Astoria asserts
FIRST and just claim to being the one
and only legal, and natural, port on
the Columbia, as well as upon the
coast Of Oregon; and speaking with
due regard to all claims, upon the
bases Of accessibility, depths, chan
nels, security, expanse, direct con-
tiguity to, and quick-touch with, the
open sea this is the truth.
