The PHILIPPINES.
VIII.-Their Commerce.
Rv Erador}c T HaSkin
BY Frederic j. Haskin.

Philippine commerce tells the same
story of progress that other elements of
Philippine activities display. to even the
casual student. Not only that. but brief
survey of Its leading features from the
date Of American occupation In 1890 to
the present time embraces other impor-
tant phases such as the contest fer com
mereial supremacy between the United
States and her strongly intrenched Euro
pean competitors, the strengthening of
business ties between Americans and Fill
pinos. the gradual increasing earning ca
pacity Of the Filipinos the surprising
facility with which the Filipino people
have adopted every improvement laid at
their doors by American commerce, and
the final realisation of the American bust
ness world that the Philippine Islands is
one OF the most attractive detectives Of
our expanding foreign trade.
The total trade of the Philippine Islands
at the present time is nearly 400 per cent
greater than 1t was when the American
flag was first hoisted by the LIST Colorado
Regiment over old Fort Santiago in the
environs OF Manila August IL. 1899.

There were fifteen bases stolen on Ben

Lepper. a new man on third for the
sailors, played good game and also
connected for four hits out of six trips
to the plate.
Kirkley, who played first for Holy
Name, played one of the best games seen
catch which looked like it would go to
the outfield on the ground by diving after

got Holy Names only hit.
Seibold Smoot and Boswell hit Well for
the sailors, the first two getting three
hits out of five times up. and Boswell get

company.

Here is something we would
like to have explained. Sever
al times during this year men
have come here soliciting orders
for made to measure clothing
and they always get many or
ders. They seldom solicit a.
mong any but the business men
and their employees. One was
here this week and took many
orders, probably more than any
one merchant Of the city gets
during the year. This solicitor
does not pay for any Of the up
keep Of the city or its institu-
tions, never patronizes one OF
these men for dollars worth OF
anything, still he continues to
come here year after year and
take away business that should
go to our local merchants.
Most OF these orders are secured
from men who are always hol-
lering about the mail order
houses. Can you explain it?
Is il because the local people do
not advertise their made to
measure clothes, or is it that
the agent is a smooth talker and
makes the victims forget that he
is n resident OF another town,
that he cannot make any
changes in the clothes il they do
not suit and will not be here to
hear any kick il for any reason
the suit is not satisfactory
Some of you fellows who gave
him an order please explain
what the special inducement
was.

those who have made a study
the wonder is why any money
is left in the state.
The crops for this year will
bring returns Of over one hun
dred million dollars, which if
properly expended for Oregon
products would greatly relieve
the financial condition.
Several millions are sent east
annually for butter, cheese, eggs,
poultry, lard, bacon, hams,
canned meats and vegetables,
all Of which can be produced in
the state to better perfection at
a fraction OF what they cost us
to import. The same is true OF
practically everything made in
the state. We send our wool
east to be made into cloth and
clothing, paying freight both
ways and several profits and the
wooden mills OF the state are
compelled to 20 east to market
their output, much Of it coming
back at an advance in price.
Millions OF dollars are sent
east every year for insurance,
only fraction OF which is sent
back for losses. The profits and
the interest on the profits 60 to
the east, small part OF the
being loaned in the state.
The laws OF the eastern states
are not as beneficial to the in
sured as those OF Oregon, re-
quiring smaller deposits and
with less safeguards to protect
the insured.
The same line Of argument
applies to almost all lines and
there can be but one answer and
that if you wish to upbuild your
state insist on getting Oregon
products from your merchants
aud business men, thus keeping
youa money in the state and in
your neighborhood. Have "A
little state pride and build up
local industics.

RECALL OUT. FOR ASSESSOR

We understand "A recall peti.
tion has been started in this
county on the assessor and as
the assessor is always the most
unpopular official in the county
there is little question but what
the necessary number Of sig
natures can be secured. One
objection to the present official
is the taxing OF mortgages.
The old law calls for the assess
ing of mortgages, while il has
not been the custom in the
state to do so, the people at the
last election refused to repeal
the law. Ifmortgages are assess.
ed it will mean the ioreclosing
OF all mortgages and all money
will be taken out OF the county
for investment. The tax list
has not been filed but il is talk
ed that the values placed on the
farm lands are not equable,
some being much higher than
the land can be purchased for
and others much lower than
actual value. These matters
can be taken before the equal
ization board and every taxpay-
er should post himself on the
laws regulating such matters
and have his objections filed in
time for the board to act on
them.
Our neighbors in Idaho tried
the high valuation scheme last
year and pronounced it fail.
ure, the valuations in Canyon
county being reduced eleven
million dollars this year, Their
best lands are now assessed at
one hundred dollars per acre,
and others in proportion,
The taxing OF mortgages has
also been tried and found Il
failure so there is little excuse
for further experimenting along
those lines,

A short time ago petition
was circulated in Clackamas
county for the recall Of the
county court and the deciding
vote recalling them was less
than twenty per cent of the total
vote OF the county. IL is nee
essary to have 20 per cent OF
the voters sign the petition, but
in the election following, where
the official does not resign, II
majority OF those voting deter
mines the result.

John II. Lewis, state engineer
OF Oregon, recently claimed that
the Snake river could be made
navigable from its mouth to
Ontario. Yes it might be done,
but anyone familiar with the
river below Huntington would
say that il would cost as much
money as it has cost to build
the Panama canal. The water
for miles is churned to foam as
it rushes through rocky gorges,
with the banks on either side
towering nearly straight up for
over 2O00 feet from the waters
edge. With all due respect to
Mr.. Lewis, he had better guess
again. Nampa Record, Mr.,
Lewis is not guessing, lie has
figured it out that the power to
be generated from the ioaming
waters will be needed some day
and will be the inducelnent to
build the necessary locks.

There is some prospect of getting
the Wood Bros. of Indiana to locate
a manufacturing plant in his city. The
company already has an agency here
and after the first Of May will be To-
Gated in the Garr-Scott building on
Front street. 1t has been intimated to
the commercial club that it may be
possible to secure one of the manufac-
turing plants of the company and the
executive committee of the commercial
club at noon meeting today authorized
it's secretary to offer all manner OF as
sistanCe to the company.
The secretary was also authorized to
write to the Great Northern railroad
offering any assistance in its power to
power to further the improvements
which the company is contemplating
making here, in the way of the new.
steel bridge, the roundhouse and the
terminals.
The club also offered to donate a fine
silver cup to the Fargo Gun club for
the tournament which will tax place
in this city June 10 inc 20, which will
be during the shooting period during
which the state will hold its annual
tournament at Grand Forks.
The secretary was directed by the
commercial club to notify the county
fair people to the effect that it would
render all of assistance for the
fair of 1913 and will assist financially,
but deemed that it would not be eXped-
lent at this time to combine the office
of secretary of the club with the office
of the secretary of the fair association.
1t is likely that an arrangement will
be entered into by which the club ad-
vertising committee will take charge Of
the fair advertising.
There were several minor matters
taken charge of and discussed by the
executive committee.

stad. Petersburg, N. D.

The contest for the gold and silver
medals. between students of Concordia
college, given by Attorney Dosland, for
efficiency in declamations was held in
the auditorium of the college, last
night, and was very. well attended, not
only by friends of the contestants and
fellow students, but by the general
public, and there were heard many fav-
orable comments of the general excel
lencies of the entertainment.
The winner of the first honors and
consequently the gold medal was Miss
Janet Lambert, DEBORAH, Ia, who Sc
lected for her recitation a composition
entitled, st. Johns Fund.
The second honors and the silver
medal were awarded to Miss Agnes
exce1Ied in her rendition Of the poem
Virginius.
The board of judges also awarded
honorable mention to Miss Karen
Thomson, Willow City, ND, who read
a selection entitled, The Leper; and
Miss Cora Evans of Hoople, Walsh
county, N. D., who submitted The Brian
Rose.
The board Of judges comprised Mrs.
Carroll A. Nye, Miss Jessie Comstock,
and Prof. 8. G.. Martin of the state
normal school faculty.
1t was very generally conceded that
splendid work Is being done in the
department of expression at Concordia
college under the skillful direction of
Miss Bertha Thompson n that there
was due her great praise for the care
full training of the students under her
care. There was evidence of thorough
ground work and that was plainly dem
onstrated in the reading presented by
the gold medalist. 1t required fully
half an hour to give the reading, which
meant a great demand of memorizing
alone.
The formal presentation of the med
ais will be made during the college
commencement proceedings, together
with the presentation of the medals
given by DIR. o. J. Hagen for efficiency
in oratory. The contest for the Hagen
medals Is yet to be held and announce
