clent and Accepter Order of Noblee of
' tha Myetlo Shrine from Al Kader Tem
ple, Portland.: Bla tour included visits
at tha Louisiana Purchase exposition. St.
Louis, Columbus, O., Philadelphia, New
York and Chicago. ,
Mr. Slchel eays Ihat the government
exhibit at the, St. Louie fair 1 of sur
passing Interest and will be of Immense
importance to the Lewi and Clark fair,
- to which the entire exhibit Is to be
brought. He spent a week Inspecting
thla and the transportation and machln-
wry exhibit.
"The government exhibit," he aaya.
"consist of a postal exhibit, a naval ex
hibit, an Irrigation exhibit, an agrlcul
' turat exhibit, a horticultural exhibit, a
marine exhibit, a mint and currency ex
hibit, telegraph and wireless telegrsph
exhlbita. All these are shown by the
ctual apparatus In operation or by
means of life-else wooden structures and
. wax figure and by moving pictures. It
I aimpiy Immense, and the most educa
tional arrangement that could be imag
ined. For example, a part of tha naval
, 'exhibit ia the front half of a battleship,
full slse, constructed of wood, and by
mean of an excavation under it set up
. ao mat it iooks like tne real thing. There
I a full crew and officer aboard, rep
resented In life-atae wax figures. The
whole thing la open to the public, and
hundred were aboard of the ship at one
' time., going through the various com
partment and examining the working
of the model. The guna were real naval
'gun. .'.
'Talaabl Xrrigmtloa Map.
' Mr. Slchel was much taken with a rep
resentation of the advantage of irriga
tion aa shown in the government exhibit
by a profile map of the topography of
the: state' of Arlsona, with -water . run
ning in the river and Irrigation dltcnva.
The map was about llxSH feet In size,
and on It. by mean of grain and trees,
was shown the difference between arid
land irrigated land In actual practice.
It waa a wonderful lesson in Irrigation
, te those who are interested In the devel
opment of Oregon' veat areas of agri
cultural and fruit land that await the
narlo touch of water.
"The Vnlted States poetofflc exhibit

the feature of the place will be a big

fair aa a practical demonstration of (he
lumbering Industry of this state, '
Staff work ia being placed on the
liberal arts, the state building and the
foreign exhibit building la being placed

terday g force of men was employed in
putting the roof on the fire department
building. Thla structure will be .finished
first of all.
As eoon as the apparatus arrive for
the lire house, a force of men will be put
on duty in order to protect the buildings
from fire. The water works of the
grounds are adequate In every respect
and with a competent fire department
there 1 little danger from aevere loss

He waa impressed with th perfection
ef the government printing office and

Among otner thing Mr. Slchel aaw
the new telegraph system, by which the
sender of a message write It hlragelf
and th Instrument at the other end of
the line produce the message In the
ender handwriting. He sent his name
and addreaa over the system and aaw It
come out on the receiver's desk In hi
own peculiar chlrography, ' He also saw
the wireless system of telegraphy a
used oy tne government In operation.
"Being interested in police condition.
I naturally investigated In a measure
the Bt. Louis department." says - Mr.
Slchel, "and I was particularly Interest
ed In the fact that St. Louis has engaaed
and brought to the fair the pick of de
tective rrom th department of all th
principal cttlea in tha country to assist
th SU Loul force. The . Idea ia that
many crook from th varioua renter
of crime who flock to St, Loul during
th fal fI11 tUt,m h. 1 i.
and arrested or can be placed under sur
veillance. I have had m talk with Mayor
Williams and have atrongly recommend
ed mat Portland should adopt a slmllnr
course during the Lewis and Clark fair.
It would pay us to bring the best de
tective from place like Denver. San
Franclaco,. Chicago and New York, for
many criminal will "follow th clr
cult"-and come to the Portland expoal
tlon after- the SC Loul fair 1 out of
th way. I did not go to St. Ixula pre-
juan-eo. out intending to criticise our
home fore should I find opportunity to
ao so. nut i must admit that our no

ciency, After I left NewYork I did
not see a ponce force until I got home

Mr. Mnhech Charan Slnha of Allsba
bad, who 1 at preaent In Portland, glvee
tn the following article hi vlewa on
ome of the alngular differences be
tween the custom of people of differ
ent clvllixatlona:

standing, mutual reproach and mutual
contempt would be saved if the Indi
viduals, snd for the matter or that.
communities, or even nations, were to
realise the fact - that certain rule or
conduct' or tdeaa of propriety which
are in vogue with, them may have had
ineir origin in reason peculiar 10 in.
country or may have even come Into
existence in an arbitrary manner, with
out any apparent reaaon, and that It
by Tip means follows that those who do
MAHESH CHARAN BINHA. "
not conform' to the rule or these
ldeaa are. necessarily entitled to be
treated with contempt or ridicule. To
those who are always ready to call a
custom of a country other -than their
own "a stupid, barbarous custom" It
never strikes that others can with an
equal amount' of logic make a. similar
remark on seeing things different from
theirs.
An American traveler goes to India,
for instance; he see th native of th
country not clad from top to toe; he
take photograph and showing to bis
f rleads delight in cutting a Joke and
calling the Hlndoa uncivilized. How lit
tle he sees that the naked paintings and
sculptors exhibited In the chops of
Americans make a Hindu Indignant and
apt to remark that there is na decency
In the west. While in America the moat
modest girl can visit a public society
witBrfcer half-open reast." witlmn ut
terly unconcerned and unconscious look
on her face., the Indian girl will never
appear in the public unless she 1 com
pletely muffled. She consider It a
great breech of decency If the slightest
part of her breaat 1 exposed to public
gaae. ....
The fore of custom la seen to strik
ing advantage when we bring the east
and west together. What the one na
tion considera I wrong th other ve
hemently assert Is. right; what th
European call Indecent the Asiatic
maintain ia decorous; what th Indian
condemn aa Improper th Englishman
belie vea Is correct. The white man,
with the lofty superiority of his west
ern civilisation, look down on his dark
Argan brothers, oblivious that he him
self may be the object of ridicule and
contempt for ome of his own peculiar
habita and custom.
The eastern man will Invariably wash
his hands before taking food and rinse
his mouth after finishing th meaL The
westerner dispenses wtth . ' both. The
easterner uses' his Angers ' freely and
laughs, at he .too much artificiality of
lha westerner when ha cuts even hla
bread with his knife and forw and spoons
out the orange Juice Instesd of taking
out the cover with the finger and tast
ing the pieces one by one. - . .
The Impartial critic, trying to ascer
tain where the truth lie, ha to give It
up aa a bad Job, when he And men
and women equally Intelligent and equal I
ly well-equipped with the - Idea of
morality, decency and propriety,; hold
ing such contradictory vlewa.
Some year ago there waa a very
Interesting and amusing -controversy be-
tween some missionaries on a matter
which bristled with difficulties, -A man
desirous of being converted to Chris
tianity wa anxious to oe oaptiseo witn
hi family. -Now this man had two
wives and what waa to be done with
them was the problem to be solved. On
party said, baptise the man and only
one wife, to be aelected by him. for, it
was urged, th Christian church- can
never tolerate polygamy. But. retorted
the other party, why deprive thes-otner
woman of th blessings or Christianity
and cause the man to commit .an of
fense against society by forcing 'him to
desert a womsn who wa hla legal wife
and who could not be deprived of her
right br any change of religion on his
partT Beside. they argued, polygamy
Is not a sin, for It was practised Dy tne
patriarch of old and I nowhere pro
hibited In the bible, except that it Is
aald that a bishop should not be the
husband of more wive than one.. How
thl controversy ended I forget, but the
question Involved Is simple.
4n the west a certain custom 1 found
to exist.-now sanctioned by law, whilst
In the east another custom exist, also
sanctioned by law. It la merely a rase
of the survival ef th fittest monogamy
Is tha fittest, and though the right , of
polygamy haa not been taken away, it
is very rarely nowsaays, that a man,
at loast. an educated man. Indulge m
polygamy. You may pity a man for his
fplly. yet you hav to admire hi cour
age who tries to control and to pleas
more wive than one, when the ordinary
experience -1 that on )s mor than
enough In all conelnre.
The traveler from the west to Japan
re shocked to see thst men and women
bath naked in the - publlo bath.
They begin to condemn the people and
call them uncivilised and immoral.
The Indiana, while they see th Euro
peans kissing their wive openly before
the public, to put It mildly, are simply
hocked. To their minds, the art of
kissing a woman publicly,, even if she
were one' wife, I aa act utterly want
ing In delicacy and good taste and they
consider there are no term, strong
enough to condemn It. In India, both
high and low. would consider It de

'It I reported on good authdrity from
the Alaska oil field that within a few
week th operators there will begin
shipping otl at the rat of 00 barrel a
day. There are now five wells flowing
or caDoed. and drill ara at work In
eight more wells. . All these are in the
Kyak field, which ha been th scene
of operations by an English syndicate
several yeara and In which a large num
ber of Independent, operator are now at
work. ''
Harry White of Portland leave next
Tuesday for the Kyak field, where he
haa extensive oil and coal Interests,. Ha
ha mad six trips, in as many auc-
celve summers, to th Kyak oil field,
nd lr In constant touch with affairs
there. He expressed doubt that the
shipment of U from that field will be
gin before next spring. However, he
admit that it will net be long until
the development there will result in the
shipment of 10,000 barrel a day from
Alaska, H 1 of th opinion that the
bulk, of It will be sent to China, Japan
and other oriental point a. where re
fineries may be established. But a large
quantity of the oil might Be brought to
Portland were a refinery Mtauiisnea
here. ','
' Opportunities t or ; Bortaaad.
It ia not probable that any of h otl
Will be refined In, Alaska, as It can be
much more conveniently ahlpped in its
crude state in tank steamer, before the
naptha, gasoline and by-products are
segregated. Many things are manufac
tured, from the by-product of crude oil,
and che location of a refinery in a com
munity mean much mora than that of
a mere distributing point for kerosene
oil. At the present time there Is no oil
refinery on th Pacific coast north or
San ' Francisco. " Portland is .directly
In th Una of transportation from
Kyak to the Panama isthmua and th
Hawaiian island, and it 1 - apparent
that thla city and Puget -sound will be
th channel through which a vaat sham
of th Alaska oil and coal product will
flow eastward.
A dispatch from Boston a week ago
to the effect that the Alaska coal and
oil fields 'are the big prize that Hill
and Harrlman ar fighting for was
shown to an Alaska oil operator in
Portland and his comment waa;
Karrlmaa Seaka Prise..;. ',4;
That 1 the exact truth, and th first
time I have een tha inatd fact in
print. Thl fight for control f Puget
ound transportation la backed by the
Standard OH company on the Harrl
man aide, and we of Alaska hav
known for a long time that the Eng-
lieh syndicate which for yara ha been
entrenching Itaelf In the Alaska oil field
la a first-cousin of 'the standard. Oil
company. If the Standard Oil and
Harrlman Interests can control . th
transportation overland from the north
west and alao handle the Panama rail
way through the proposed renewal of
it contract with th , Paclflo Mall
Steamship company, it will hav th
Alaska oil -and coal trade to the east
and middle west cornered, ao far as
business In the United Statea is con
cerned. - It cannot, however, control the
ocean . transportation of oil . and coal
as far as Paclflo coast porta for there
will be plenty of tramp tank steamers
In the trade as soon as the business will
warrant them starting."
Alaska coal and oil operator are
attaining themaelves to hasten th ex
tension of the government cable from
Juneau to Sitka aa it la propoaed to
secure by thla cable telegraphic con
nection into the oil and coal field and
thu greatly facilitate development and
business. ' The cable Is now being man
ufactured and General Oreely la ex
pected to begin work on thla extension
a soon as the- SeatUe-Juneau line 1
completed.
