body in the country. both official and

| Ihls is of particular moment to
tuberculosis workers, it is said. in view
| OF the fact that the sale of alleged

| the most tragic phases of the patent

! The attitude of the Commerce De-

The national association estimates
that not less than 100000, 600 is invest

these concerns and individuals Is Sl5-

is spent for advertising, leaving profit
of $10,OO0000 a year. which Is charac-

RUSSIAN IMPORTS INCREASED.
Tremendous Freight Traffic at Arch
angel Shown in figures.

Increasing her imports 100 per cent over
1915. European Russia imported $685.
$4,000 worth Of goods in 1916, according
to compilation from official Russian sta
tistics made public today by the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce of the
Commerce Department. The most i'm
portant contributors to the Russian mar
ket in 1915 were the United Kingdom and
the United States.
Last years imports fell only $50. 1000. 900
short Of the figure for the normal year
1918. AS a matter of fact since the off,
cial figures do not include munitions, the
value Of the goods actually received and
requiring transportation must have been
greatly in excess Of the value recorded,
the statement declares.
When it is considered that In 1915 Eu-
ropean Russia received goods by two
| routes only tArchangel and Scandinavia
Finland). while goods were entered at
forty.four ports in 1913. it is easier 10
appreciate the tremendous freight traffic
| that the port Of Archangel and the Rus
sian railroads were called upon to handle
and the inevitable congestion that has

MORE TIME FOR MICHAELIs.
German Socialists Insert Saving
Clause" in War Aim Demands.

COPENHAGEN, July 23.-The Berlin
NorWaerts prints communication from
the German socialists and socialist
trades unions to the Russian council of
deputies. accepting the conditions for
an International socialist congress as
formulated by the Russian and Scandi-
navian delegates at Stockholm July s.
The communication Endorses the view
that governments which do not state
their peace program clearly and with
out ambiguity must be fought vigor-
ously by the socialists, but a saving
clause is inserted in the communica-
ton. perhaps in consideration of the
uncertainty regarding the declaration
of DR.. Michaelis, the new imperial Ger
man chancellor, that this opposition
shall begin after the Stockholm confer
ence.

PROGRESS BRINGS PRO-
GRESS

~ HE saying about what
VI shall be given unto them
that hath is applicable to
towns as well as individuals.
For instance Pendleton has a
splendid civic natatorium anG
the fact has caused a big news
paper at Dallas, Texas to give
US highly complimentary
story on the subject, adorned
with a three column illustra-
ton of the Nat.
Such publicity informs other
people as to our community
spirit and gives them a favor
able impression of Pendleton
with result in the direction
of increased population and
the betterments and new in
dustries new people may bring
to our door.
Every forward step taken
by the community paves the
way for something else that is
good, as has been demonstrate
ed in practical form on many
occasions here. The success of
the woolen mills was a positive
factor in the establishment of
the Blewett factory. The
state hospital was an influence
in behalf of the gravity water
system and the new high school
came as the result of the opti-
mistic spirit aroused over Sc
curing the state institution.
The Roundup has brought
thousands of people to Pendle- I
ton and it would stagger the
imagination to estimate the adj
that have resulted
therefrom. Without the
Roundup we would not have
the park and stadium, or the
natatorium. Happy Canyon is
a direct outgrowth Of the
Roundup and it in turn has
added materially to the attend
ance at the main show and to
the reputation of Pendleton as
an entertainer.
Progress begets progress and
Pendleton proves it.
