taking new view
Recla ssifcation and new lease of
life, getting out
Commlss1oA' of ruts. looking at
things in a broader way and making
short cuts to efficiency, the division of
statistics is working on new classi-
fication so as to be more helpful in
pansion, At the present time there
are about 700 classes in exports and
imports An interdepartmental COM
mittee, with representatives from the
Department Of Commerce, the Treas
ury and Agriculture, the Shipping
Board and the War Trade Board and
the United States Tariff Commission,
has been cooperating since last Sep
TENDER in an effort to reclassify en-
tirely the commodities in both ex
ports and imports and to extend the
classification by breaking up the
groups at present designated ''all 9TH
ers," which show, large figures, but
are meaningless to those in the trade
interested in SPECIFIC commodities.
The present classification is largely
an alphabetical list of commodities.
with certain groups such as bread
stuffs, chemicals, cotton manufac-
lures, iron and steel. etc. In the new
classification every commodity will
be grouped under ten main headings:
a. foodstuffs OF vegetable origin: (2}
animals and animal foods; 90 tex.
tiles. divided into raw and manufac-
tured products; ca wood and wood
products; 90 other vegetables and
animal products; (6) chemicals, di-
vided into organic and inorganic.

90 ores. metals and manufactures
thereof. go machinery. tools and We
hicles; co non-metallic minerals,
coal, petroleum, etc; 1O miscel-
laneous.

Century Old.


century Old. in 1890. The first
law, however. included only exports
by vessels and did not provide for
statistics of goods shipped by rail-
roads across the border until 1892,
when additional legislation remedying
this defect was passed.
The job of tabulating the statistics
is exacting, tiresome and time-con-
Stunning. The bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce in cooperation
with the Treasury Department has
been engaged for years in experiment
ing upon a machine for tabulating
the customs and other reports at the
customhouse as well as in Washington.
This is now being done on mechani-
cal, electrical machine by means of
punched cards which are assorted by
means of pins falling through the
punched holes. A similar system has
been in operation in the census Office
for tabulating population statistics.
Both of these machines have produced
very satisfs Glory results, preferable
to hand tabulating.
Accuracy in the statistics is an i'm
portant consideration and is not sacri-
feed in an attempt to secure more
expeditions publication.

lists. The division of statistics ex-
poets to go on in this plan of decimal
classification to four figures In ex-
ports and FIVE figures in imports. The
fifth figure on imports will be used
for statistics of imports according to
the tariff classification. The plan is
to make this classification elastic,
permitting of future extensions as
necessity arises, by not using every
number in each group, but leaving
gaps
1t is expected that there will be
about 1900 classes each in imports
and in exports. which will be about
double the present scope of the sta
tistics.

.M'KAY DAMS|TE IS
BELIEVED TO Be 0. K.

For several weeks government en-
gineers have been drilling test holes
for the location of the dam for a res
ervoir to store water on Mckay creek
for irrigation and according to infor-
nation that seems reliable have found
a good site with suitable bedrock. A
great deal of the material. rock ana
I@ravel, for the dam, is on the ground
The dam will be about quarter of
mile long and 140 feet at the high
est point. 1t will have a storage ca
pacity of 10000 acre feet and will
back the water of Mckay creek up
for about five miles. covering the
farms on the creek bottom for that
distance. .
The site selected is about five miles
from Pendleton being but a short dis
tance north of the north line of the
Louis La Dow farm.
Surveys for this reservoir were made
by the government several years ago,
but nothing more was done until a
few months ago. Now it is thought
the work win be pushed through to
completion.
The water stored here is to be for
irrigation on the Hermiston and other
projects in the west end of Umatilia
county.
