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

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.

that the fully outstretched hand slg

stone, and two fingers nlonc extended.
the rest being closed, scissors. 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

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.
