I Union Steamaund ty Hostilities between Japan and Russia, with the arena of its operations in Asia on the Pa clfio coast abreast of the Pacific states of the Union, gives to the contest a special interest from flnanciul view point to the peo- nla of Oregon. "The war cloud's rolling din" now shad ottintrJaDan. Korea and China CJ . . mists a. dark shadow over the commercial prospects of Oregon. For the year ending with De cember, 1908, Japan purchased 1.381.104 barrels of wheat flour valued at $4,685,045 from the United States. During the same time we sold to China 78,999 barrels of wheat flour valued at f267,480. To the Britif h Port of Hong Kong, the chief trading entre port of the Cried, the United States sold 1,351,757 barrels of wheat flour valued at $4,948,459. During the year ending De cember, 1903, the total exports from the United States to Ja pan amounted to $20,874,887; to Korea, $370,566; to Hong Kong, $9,792,193; to Chinese Empire, $14,970,138. While var may raise tbe price of some articles, it will also increase insurance and freight rates. Besidos it may stop the sale altogether of suoh articles as either of the com batants may declare contraband of war. As the Pacific Coast States will to some extent be Japan's base for bread stuffs and cotton clothing, the tempta tion will be great on the part of i Russia to declare such contra- bond of war, to enforce which, under the laws of nations, she would have the right to' capture all thips bearing flour or cot ton fubrics suitable for military clothing, unless there is some treaty between the Uuited Stutes and Russ a preventing flour, provisions and clothing from being declared contraband of war. Oregon wheat growers and mill owners would feel very materially the loss of the Japan trade. Paper is Cheaper Than Coal and ooks Better.

Each of the players, conntlug one, two. three, throws out his hand at the moment of pronouncing three, nnd tbe one whose manual symbol Is superior to that ol the others, according to the theory of the game, wins the trial. Superiority Is determined on the hypothesis that whereas scissors can pot cut a stone they can cut paper, nnd whereas paper is cut by scissors It can wrap up a stone. Consequently scls sors la Inferior to stone, but conquers paper; stone Is lufcrlor to paper, but conquers scissors, and paper Is Inferior to scissors, but conquers stone. There are innumerable varieties of tbe game, for It Is not n mere method of deter mining a dispute or priority, and they are conatantly added to by ingenious young ladles, the dancing girl class es pecially, who play It wllh exquisite grace and Judicious enhancement or beautiful hands and arms.

Voters before fo.'ining defi nate conclusions regarding the bondiug of the city for $25,000 should thoroughly irJorm them selves relative thereto. There are possibly a few who are op posed to bonding at the present tim, who would heartily favor the proposition if they investi gated the matter. The qualifi cations of voters on the bond ing proposition are the same as are required of voters in school elections. This gives women who are property owners the right to vote On the bonding question. Following is the law: Only those whose names are upon lust year's assessment roll ure qualified to vote on the bond ing question. Soc 3386 "Any citizen of this state, male or female, who is 21 yt . i's of uge and has lesided in the district 30 days immediate ly proceeding the meeting or election and has property in the district as shown by the last as sessment uud not assessed by the sheriff, on which he or she is li'ible to pay a tax, shall be ullowo'l to vote ."
