U. S. Consul Says Orient
Calls for Northwest Products

Consul General John P. Bray, of
Singapore, Straits Settlements, who is
on leave of absence from his post, ar
rived on the Pacific Coast last week
and has spent couple of days in Sc
attic in conference with business men
and others interested in trade in the
Northwest. The consul general has
been in the service of the State de-
partment for about 20 years and for a
number of years was stationed at sgd
ney, Australia, but recently was trans
ferred to Singapore, where he not only
looks after the affairs of the depart
ment of state, but also has charge of
the affairs of other countries now at
war.
The consul general spent considera-
BILE time in the Seattle Office of the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic COM
merce and has given to the commercial
agent the following statement as to
conditions in the Straits Settlements
as they probably affect the business of
the Pacific Northwest.
GAS to the manufacturing interests
of the Pacific Northwest, would say
that there is a large opening in the
Oriental countries for products of this
region. Especially is this true in re-
gard to pine lumber, ficar, fruits,
canned fish particularly salmon).
.tThe development Of the Straits
Settlements and the Federated Malay
States provides great field for the
manufactured steel products of the Pa
cific Northwest, and especially would
! call the attention of manufacturers
of this section to the lack Of tnonage
for the manufactured products to be
sent forward"

Villa was temporarily at standstill,

Strawberries are beginning to bloom

The apple trees of the district probab-

Portland - Eastern bids for wheat

the corn decrease at 1,227, 900 bushels,

Timothy hay is scarce in the local
market, and will continue SO during

fornia grain hay are looked for. AL
falfa is also firm. The outlook is for
a record crop of alfalfa in the North

Will 1nere.ss Merchant Vessels.

Congressman Byrnes, who is always
alert and active. has hit upon
q plan for increasing the number
of vessels fer transporting Amer
ican agricultural products and man
ufactured; goods to other eoun-
tries. The European war has ia
ken hundreds of the vessels OF
commerce from the high seas, 40 most
of them were of British ownership.
Mr.. Byrnes has introduced a illproyi-
ding that ths secretary of war and the
secretary of the navy shall turn over
to the department of commerce such
auxiliary vessels as will not be needed
by them at the present time, and the
secretary of commerce will be empow-
cred to lease these vessels to shipping
interests.
If Mr.. Byrnes' suggestion or bill be
adopted, many obsolete vessels OF the
navy, can be turned to practical COM
mercial account at a time when the
need ls so great.

More Complete Cotton Statistics.

AS cotton is one of the worlds lead
ing crops and one also that means 80
much to large part of this country,
we believe that all possible informa-
ton concerning its production, mar
keting and manufacture should be col
lected and published. With this end
in view, Congressman Lever has IN
troduced bill providing for the gath
ering of statistics covering the produc-
tion and consumption of cotton and
cotton goods and the demand therefor
in various parts of the world. 1t is
proposed that monthly reports be
made of the number of spindles in
activity, mill consumption of cotton in
500 pound bales, cotton on hand in 500
pound bales, cotton goods on hand and
their value.
With this official information at
hand, it will be impossible for unscru-
pulous spectators to give so many
proundless reasons for market fluctua-
tors, At present, 'bearish" specula-
tors gather such information as is ia
vorable to their side of the market and
give it out to the public, when if all
the facts bearing on cotton conditions
were known, such manipulatlons OF
the markedly men who sit in Offices in
skyscraoers in New York would be i'm
possible. We hope the bill introduced
by Mr.. Lever will become law. We
believe it will be of real benefit to the
producer, manufacturer and consumer
of cotton.

Physical Training In Public Schools.


More and more the matter of proper
ly developing the bodies of school chill
dren is being stressed. And very wisely
so. With the view of properly devel-
oping the bodies of the children, the
public schools of Charleston have IN
troduced the military setting-up exer-
cises. We are convinced that this Is
a wise innova ton, one that should be
adopted by every public school in the
State.
The well-poised head and erect
bearing of cadets of military schools
never fail to call forth admiration.
When these young men first enter
school they are round-shouldered and
are often ungainly in physique. What
has wrought the transformation? Moth
ing except the setting-up exercises.
Writers on physical culture may pre-
scribe numerous ways of exercising the
body, some of which may be more
graceful in their execution, but none
of them have yet improved upon the
g-time-ago-adopted setting-up ex-
ercises. Let the present system OF
calisthenics be abolished and have the
boys use the exercises prescribed for
the military. A short time of each
school day devoted to the setting up ex-
ercises will develop the bodies of the
boys and give them the coveted SOL
dierly bearing.

If you will leap on at once, you
NAV ride him to fortune: but if you
daily and hesitate, he dashes away

And now old Mt. Zion is looking
forward to a few touches of much
needed care, as on last Friday eve
ming the ladies of the w. M. s.
held bazaar at the school house,
for the benefit of the church. There
was very good attendance, much
enjoyment of the cake walk, :" the
consumption of the good things
purchased at the booths, and the
acquisition of many dainty, hu.
morous, or useful articles 6shed
from the fsh-pond, $500 or more
was turned into the treasury of the
