The expansion of . the United State) over (fiatant lauds brings additional 'duties to the Ameri can citizen in providing suitable laws to govern far off and strange people To meet this responsibility, which came with our newly 'acquired possessions, so that we can act and vote in telligently and justly on ques tions effecting the rights and happiness of something over ten millions of people, that the prowess of our arms has placed under our control, it becomes necessary for our people to learn a great deal about these distant people, of which we know very little. A good way 'o study any peo ple is to observe what tbev do, aud how they do it. This can be done with some degree of success by finding out what they buy and tell. To assist the home citizens in doing this onr government publishes from time to time detailed statements of ihe trade transactions of our several distant possessions. The Obervtr received yester day from the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce aud Labor the Monthly Sum mary of commerce and finance for Marob, 1904, which contains many pages giving the details of of the trade between the Uuited Statr-a and in utw possessions, from which we condense the following: Beginning with Hawuii, the one nearest to us, we find that tlie'people1 of these- ralnnds.-for th nine months endiiie with I March, 1904, purchased of Dry Crsch'Difinj-' K' ibt- nlnu fro f " , b 'I no nnilre tli Uinae to fr'it bio is e;j t d Mr- lie ton will li -M cl.urvh vi.et Sun lar oriruiiu a id meuing. 8 ni l jy K-b Ml a 10 A M, V P ri C K m-e s at C::f) P VI on n.rt a .il ihl-.l Snn!ay, an ntli-rnri'fl at 11 A M , .V l"i'iiinj ni'tv iiin ioie'l o' .hthu 8t veiis.

A LIBEL At the time the Oregon com mission selected a log cabin as a state building for the St. Louis fair we thought the design very inappropriate, from the fact that the only advantage to be received by making any exhibit at such a place is the advertis ing gained thereby. Thousands of people will visit the exhibi tion who only look upon Oregon as a small spot iu the far west inhabited by a few back-woodsmen, trappers and wandering tribes of Indians, This idea we have had to combat for years and still have to combat it, and now for the state of Oregon to seud a log cabin to the St. Louis fair will result in more injury to the state than if we made- no representation whatever. To carry out the farce, on the front of the building should be sus pended a few beaver anu deer skins, and the attendent iu front should wear a cow boy hat, with a brace of revolvers strapped on either side, wearing a. puir of Mexican spurs. The following is the remarks of a leading citizsn o' Portland, who is now at the fair, as ex pressed in a letter to a friend: Our utale is certainly well represent ed. It took i.e an euiiro day to find the pi)re.n lrle our representatives have ern ted In a si-cluded spot.
