OUR DISTANT LANDS.
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:

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. I was
very mnch dimppnlnte.1 hj-u I W-I.chl
the log cabin in which are our ehililtf
It Is not in the I. SBt a uod tviio of
state buil'linn nor is the exhibit of Ore
gon's industries plai-td lolora the world
In a fair light. I am sliald t admit
that 1 am a lesident uf Oreur., as peo
ple might say to me: "tio 'way back,
little ooy, and sit down."
