PORTLAND AND OREGON

Portland business men, receive
more criticism than do the business
men OF most cities. BY this time
they should all be "hard boiled" OF
at least, roasted 10 a turn" for
they have been, 'panned" often
enough.
While we know that Portland II
well able TO care for It's own inter
ests. sometimes we feel that the
''roasts" handed the men from the
metropolis are not deserved, Often
they are accused OF derelietions
which should be laid at the door
OF the willamette valley, OF Salem
and a lot OF the other cities OF
that region.
People out In the state, especial
ly here IN Malheur county have no
reason TO complain OF Portland's at
titude. for example, In the matter OF
the state highway program. AL
tho Multnomah county pays some
Ss74,000 into the state highway
funds. II receives very small por-
tion in return while Malheur county
which pays a total OF $24,796 TO
the highway funds is securing roads
the total cost OF which will be near
ly $1,000, ,000. AS a matter OF fact
Malheur county's contribution will
barely pay the interest on the in
yestment which the state has made
in its highways, and provide moth
ing for the retirement OF the bonds,
Naturally a large portion OF the
funds spent In Malheur county come
from Multnomah county. for that
county Is the one big contributor
which does not participate to any
marked degree In the distribution
OF the money.
Nor is this all. Since Multnomah
county has most OF the autos which
pay the gasoline tax, the funds
which will maintain the roads In
this and other Eastern oregon coun-
ties will come from the big cities
on the willamette and Columbia. so
when you feel like "cussing" Port
land, It is only fair to remember
what Portland and Multnomah coun-
ty have done for the highways OF
Oregon and Malheur county, OF
which we are all justly proud, and
whose benefits we all enjoy.

Portugal, invited to sit in at the
Washington conference, was the first
European power to secure a footing
in the far east. At first her eastern
dominions and eastern influence grew
until she controlled all the East
Indies; later they gradually diminish
ed. Today, however, she still owns
Macao. ceded by China in 1857. and
also half the island Of Timor, body
of land 12,45O square miles in extent.
which is a part of Malaysia. lying
just north of Australia, and Is remote
from any of the islands involved in
the present Pacific problems.
The Port of Macao, however. an
island Of about five square miles. is
of sufficient Importance to make
necessary the presence of representa-
tives of Portugal at any conference
dealing with far eastern problems.
Macao is situated in southeastern
China on the South China sea, at the
mouth of the Canton river. 1t Is on
the opposite side of the river from the
Island of Hongkong, owned by the
British, and lies in a northwesterly
direction from LuZon of the Philip
pine group.
Lived Long in Macao.
ut has often been wondered why
Portugal figures in the Washington
conference, so little being generally
known of Portuguese history and IN
terests in the far east" says c. A.
Montalto, secretary-general of the
Portuguese delegation, who has lived
extensively in Macao and in many
other parts of the world.
-Four hundred years ago, as the
outcome of the discovery Of the mari
time route to the orient, Portugal was
khn Aro n
footing in the far east. when Europe
was still in the swaddling clothes of
modern civilization. At that epoch
the national exclusiveness Of China
stood as a more effective barrier than
the great wall itself against foreign
of mighty piratical hordes which IN
tested the main centers of trade. the
Portuguese secured the good will of
the Chinese to the point of being as
signed Macao as an outpost for west
ern trade and civilization. if not also
ical irruptions. What is still more
notable, from that outpost the fol-
lowers of st. Francis Xavier. the
Apostle of the Orient, overcom-
ing untold ordeals which now
adays seem like romance, overran
the Chinese empire In the guise OF
scientists. surmounted every barrier
of exclusivism and rose to the high
est official honors while implanting
the Christian faith even within the
imperial court of China.
Intrigues Halts Progress in Japan.
I'm japan, too, the Portuguese scored
such a brilliant success that early in
the seventeenth century 1t seemed that
the Japanese were fairly on the way
of being thoroughly Europeanized
as well as Christianized. But as the
outcome of commercial and sectarian
intrigues, Japan was then closed to

stances quite beyond the poor colony's
control-in short, a tragedy too COM
plex to be here related in a few
words.
/ New Era Brings Darkest Days.
Thus. when the barriers of exclu-
'sfvism gave way in China, and a
new era dawned for foreigners in the
far east. the darkest days Of Macao
were ushered in, recalling the
prophets plant over the ruins of the
Holy City. All ye that pass by, listen
and see IL there be woes like unto
my woes And this plant is the more
! beftting. inasmuch as in former
ages Macao too, was yclept the Holy
CITY, once SO rich that. in the words
; or sixteenth century writer, her
| streetS could then be paved with gold
and silver
But the admirable geographical po-
! sition of Macao destines her for an
auspicious resurgence in the new era
! which already sees its first gimme r
! IN the Washington conference. There
can be no doubt that. when all the
! present shortcomings and grievances
are settled once for all, Macao. one of
the most picturesque and salubrious
corners Of the far east, will be fully
entitled to be known better by the
name once given her by a governor of
Hongkong. Gem Of the orient earth

INSURANCE RATES
L|KEEY.T0 Be CUT
Thousands Expected to Be
Saved Through Changes in
Fireproof Building Ratings.

Thousands Of dollars in insurance
rates are expected to be saved to
owners of local hreproot buildings
through changes in the fundamental
principles Of rating the contents Of
such buildings. 1t was learned today
Endeavofs of Walter A. Brown,
1400 H street. will lead to ultimate
reductions in the rates Of such in
surance on contents of scores of
the aid Of rating experts from New
York and Philadelphia, and with the
support Of the companies represented
by Mr.. Brown, the board of fire
underwriters decided to change the
method of making rating schedules
buildings.
May Take Time for Eject.
Reductions from the prevailing
carrying of the 80 per cent CO. insur-
ance clause" 1t is declared. Already
the rate Of fire insurance on the con-
tents of one local building has been
lowered about 80 per cent.
Experts are unable to say fatty
in the majority Of cases. but it may
be said that they will range up from
comparatively small saving to per-
haps as high as the rate of reduction
mentioned above.
Ultimately many thousands of dol
lars are expected to be saved through
these reductions. which it may take
some time to effect, owing to the
pressure of business in these lines
1t was found that in many instances
the rate for contents in fireproof
buildings was almost as high as in
non-fireproof buildings.
The action in the particular case
cited above has been approved by the
board of governors of the Under
writer's Association Of the District
of Columbia.
