The central idea about which Mr.
Sparrow, superintendent Of Crater
Lake park, wove his argument In
behalf OF its incorporation In the
park" was the fact that Oregon
had s'u one national park. and It
should be made as attractive to the
tourist as possible. That the addi-
tlon to the park OF Diamond lake
would add very much 20 the at
tractiveness OF the park" an doper-
ate as an inducement for the tourist
to spend at least two days more In
the country; stressing the point that
the crop OF tourists was n never
ending and an increasing crop.
Whereas. the commercial advantages
of the comparatively small amount
of merchantable timber available In
the event the lake was not included

COURSE FOR
COMMERCIAL
SECRETARIES

UNIVERSITY, OF OREGON. Eu-
gene. Feb. S.--A short course for
commercial club secretaries OF Ore
gon will be held at the University
OF Oregon for one week, begin
ming March 2S and ending April ..
The school OF commerce OF the uni
versity was unanimously requested
20 hold this short training course
by the Oregon association OF COM
mercial secretaries at their recent
convention In Portland.
Problems affecting the small
community will occupy the prom
inent place on the program. Such
questions as membership, growth
and maintenance are vital and will
be dealt with comprehensiyely. The
problems affecting the rural com
munity will be considered. In fact.
the organization OF the most ef-
fective working club will be put up
and torn down in order to give each
attendant a knowledge OF club
technique. Industrial development
OF the smaller town and relation OF
capital and labor will be discussed
and expanded upon. The aim is to
give the secretary an opportunity
to unravel his own knotty prob
lem with the help OF experts in his
line.
There Is also In store. for those
some OF the best lecturers
Of the northwest on topics essen
TALLY secretarial. This will also be
the time and place for the state con-
vention of the Oregon association
OF commercial secretaries. SO voted
at the semi-annual convention at
Portland in January.
The outstanding features OF this
course will be 30 to train the execu-
tive secretary that he will be able
to increase the efficiency of his
commercial organization;
to utilize his every latent energy
for the good of democratic club;
to collect and correlate secretarial
information and methods OF proce-
dure for the mutual benefit OF the
secretaries OF the state.

EDMONTON, Alta. Feb. s.-The
total output of Alberta coal mines
for 1899 is estimated at s,500,o00
tons. by John s. Sterling, Of the
dominion government bureau OF

ceeding the 1919 figures by l.

ture during the year was the mark
ed increase in shipments to both
eastern and western markets.

Letters From

The writer attended the sched

erly approximately nine miles, so al
to take in Diamond lake. and ex-
tending the western boundary to the
Douglas county line.
The topic was an interesting one.
and merited a fuller attendance on
the part OF our citizens. However.
falling quite naturally into the cate
CORY Of things assigned TO that al
ready overburdened public servant
popularity known as George" that
individual tackled the. problem In
real football style.
The primary object OF the discus
sion, seemingly, was to put the COM
mittee appointed by the Chamber in
possession of as much information
as possible-both as to the value
OF the lake as a scenic asset, and the
character OF its setting and sur
roundings and the wishes OF the
people as to its future disposition
in order that the report OF the COM
mittee may reflect the majority
opinion Of this section, as TO wheth-
er or not Diamond lake-as known
to Charley Stone in ye olden time
and its Immediately surrounding ter
ritory should be included in the
park"
Friend Stone certainly drew us a
beautiful word picture OF Diamond
lake and its setting before IL had
been subjected to the vandalism and
defilement rendering II necessary
for that lover OF the out-of-doors TO
announce that hereafter-to him, at
least-it would be but a sacred
memory.
The discussion took on a broad
gauged aspect as II proceeded, and
presented the subject from many
angles. To the writer. who went to
the meeting with an absolutely i'm
partial and open mind, the discus
sion developed one outstanding fact.
l. e.. that 1t is practically impossible
In the consideration OF such a cub
ject-where IL safely may be con-
ceded the whole pleasure-loving por-
tion OF the people are directly and
vitally concerned-to eliminate the
commercial element that so effectu
ally permeates the body polite of
today.
The idea Of incorporating Dia-
mond lake In the national park is,
ipso facto. appealing to that portion
of our citizenry known as the out
Of-doors on pleasure-bent class dur
Ing release from business cares, be-
cause the idea carries with II the
assurance that the lake and its i'm
mediate environment will be pre-
served from further defilement and
encroachment and commercial devas-
tation, not only for US, but for those
who shall follow in our footsteps;
and again, because the idea carries
with it the prospect of having that
Incompatible gem of nature linked
with that other marvellous wonder
Crater lake-by roadway unsur-
passed in scenic beauties.
Opposed to this idea is the alleged
and espionage employed
In the management of other national
parks, amounting in some instances

COAL OUTPUT STILL Low.
Both Industrial and Domestic
Buyers Hold on.

Although there continues to be a
slight increase In the production Of
bituminous coal week by week. the out
put is far behind normal for this sea-
son OF the year and continues at a level
which is below the mark of safety. says
the Black Diamond. MANY coal mines
continue closed because of market con-
ditions. Spot buying of industrial coal
In all markets Is extremely weak. with
screenings In indifferent demand.
Although In tho Northwest and In
New England. where touches of cold
weather arrive earlier than In most Of
the market centres. the cali for do
nestle sizes has slightly increased: /:
speaking generally. there ID little i'm
provement In the movement of this coal.
Although prices on domestic coal re-
main practically unchanged, the ton
mage going into the conaum~rs' bins Is
discouragingly small. particularly as
the tonnage moved during the summer
was one of the smallest on record.
Another factor Is the continued in
difference of foreign buyers. In the
Eastern markets there has been a slight
Improvement In the demand for domcs-
tic sizes OF anthracite, particularly In

Paris, Oct. e.
Last week was one Of purely political
influences as far as the Paris Bourse
was concerned, not even reports that the
Government was taking steps to punish
exchange spectators. following the dis
covery that five French and American
banks were involved in the latest scan
dal. being sufficiently important TO
swerve the financial trends.
While the losses involved In the ex-
change speculation are said to total
9o'Ooo.o00 francs, 1t is now known that
American banks will lose nothing. their
connection with the affair being purely
as an intermediary. and they are COW
cred by proper purchasing slips counter
signed by the officials of the losing
banks.
For the first time in months improve
ments have been noticed in Japanese Sc
curitles. presumably because of the re-
ported settlement of the Island of Yap
controversy, but the political situation
in Austria. Hungary. Spain and italy
has burdened all quotations in these di-
visions
The Belgian money market is of much
interest now owing to the announce
rnent of new consolidation loan at 6
per cent, amortizable in fifty years.
This will be issued the latter part of
October and Is expected to bring in at
least 15,000.000,000 francs in new money.
besides stabilizing the old issues. An
other loan is scheduled by Greece. but It
will have little prestige in the French
market.
Tho French banks themselves ehowed
slight Improvement last week, the Bank
OF France adding 100000 francs to its
metallic reserve, while reducing advances
by 22.0Oo,000 francs, the weeks net
profits reaching 100000 francs. The
Credit Foncier's new lottery loan is de-
manding much attention and is reported
| to have been oversubscribed a fortnight
before the actual opening.
The affairs Of the Banque Industrieile
de Chine are still vexing, as it now
seems likely that funds for salvaging
the Institution will be withheld until
hundreds of charges against the old di-
rectors are aired In the courts. The
Chinese are reported to be putting new
obstacles in the way. which is ascribed
here to German intervention. This and
the rest of the Banque Industrielle de
Chimes affairs are rejecting seriously,
however, on other banks, the public
showing hesitancy in dealing with the

enne and the BanUue Francaise. as the

New York Herald Bureau.
Berlin, Oct. g.
The action of the Reichstag In ratify-
ing the treaty of peace with America
gave an impetus to German business
and initiative toward the United States.
Officials Of the Berlin Chamber Of Com
merce told THE NEW YORK HERALD
Bureau that they were swamped with
inquiries from German firms seeking
to advertise wares. Many important
firms who waited for peace before re-
newing relations, are now specializing
in wares intended exclusively for
American export.

senting a combination of Eastern de-
partment stores and another represent
ing Chicago department stores have
large offices in Berlin, and both are
placing big orders here and are profit
ing by the deprecated mark. The
OTA Company. representing the Amsteel
Engineering and Automotive Products
Company, the General Electric COM
pany and Tiez, Gernany's Wanamaker.
Informed THE New YORK HERALD
Bureau that they are doing extensive
business with American retail buyers
associations. The Amsteel Company
supplies American buyers with special
grades of iron and steel and also ham
dies consular invoicing for the other
members. The General Electric Com
pany does not compete very actively In
America, but gives financial backing to
the Peterson Company, Hamburg, ex-
porters.
The Tiez firm admits that at first 1t
had met with coolness. but declares that
recently 1t received very large orders.
The firm sent an exhibit to be displayed
in Fourth avenue In New York.
The American trade commissioner In
Berlin has received a number Of in
queries from American exporters. but
finds that the German market. owing to
the deprecated mark, is practically
closed to American goods. :;
The mark, after a spectacular fall
early in the week, recovered in a strong
bull market, and rose to 1913 to the dol
lar from a low 1872. The. ZeitUn0 Am
Mittag asserted that it had discovered
a conspiracy in certain German financial
quarters. which, sent to New York by
wireless telegraphy quotations materi-
ally higher than the Berlin rate, thus
adversely influencing trading In Wall
Street. 1t demanded that the Govern
ment take over control Of financial mes
sages sent by wireless.

AID FOR CUBA PLANNED
BY NEW ORGANIZATION
Trade Interests to Ask Cut in
Tariff on Sugar.

Announcement was made yesterday
by business interests whose trade with
Cuba has been seriously affected by the
Industrial slump on the island Of the
organization Of the American Committee
on Cuban Emergency. The purpose of
the committee Is to bring to the atten-
ton Of Congress the unfortunate effect,
as It sees the situation, Of the go per
cent. increased sugar duties, and TO urge
Congress to reconsider these duties. Re-:
quest will be made that the rate be re-
duced from l.8 cents pound. as II now
stands In the Fordney tariff bill, to the
l cent pound rate that stood before
the revision. The committee In its an
nouncement points out that the domestic
sugar industry thrived under the cent
rate, and that there IS no excuse for the
increase contained in the F'ordney bill.
Among the members of the new COM
mittee are Il. J. Berwind. r. f. Almirall,
+. +. Stlins. j. p Beckwith, Charles F.
Bliss, John Nee. Bowman. Louis K
Liggett, II. c. LalSin, z. M. Herr, r. b.
Hawley, J. M. Hansen. w. H. Woodin
and Charles A. Schicren.
II. s. Rubens, chairman OF the com.
mittee, said In the course of q state
ment:
mot only Is the capital of American
enterprise in Cuba. aggregating $1,000
100000, at stake but the buying power
of Cuba Is affected, and this means an
enormous loss to American merchants
by reason of the inability of Cuba to
purchase. Not only Is the trade Of
American manufacturers and producers
menaced but the ability of Cuban in
terests 70 pay the enormous indebted
ness to American creditors Is already
seriously affected by the emergency
tariff. Already many manufacturers
have awakened 10 their danger and are
seriously alarmed"
