OUR FOREIGN TRADE
The trade of the United States
for the year ending with De
cember .1904 footed up $2,461.
657,235 pf which $1,035,909,197
were imports tnd $1,425,748,138
were exported domestic produce.
The foreign trade of the United
States stands next to that of the
United Kingdom with Germany
a cloee neighbor. The marvel of
ioreign trade is " that
our
we have forged so near to the
front without ships of our own,
but being dependent upon for
eign ships to carry our large
quantities of exports and im
ports.
Just why our people have
passed from a seafaring people
to pronounced laud lubbers is
accounted for only on the
ground that it pays better to
operate on the land, or at least
the people think it pays better.
We have spent, in the past 17
years, on the improvement of
our rivers and harbors, $261,
082,752 so that foreign ships
could make more profit in baud-
ling our foreign trade, for 95
per cent of our foreign trade is
carried in foreign ships to which
we pay annually for freight
$200,000,000. It looks as
though it was about time that
the the American people take a
level headed view of the condi
tion of our merchant marine.
and formulate some plan where
by American goods can be
borne to foreign countries in
American owned ships.
When the senate passed the
naval appropriation bill with
the provisiou for two new bat
tleships an intimation was giv
en that no more would be au
thorized. The senate would bet
ter wait to hear from the people
on that subject. Americans gen
erally desiro that their govern
ment shall have as good a navy
as floats on the bosom of the sea,
and they are ready to authorize
the buildiug and manning of
ships until that point is reached.

First, that Western Oregon is
very slow to realize that the
eastern portion of the state is
developing at the rate we are
and have been for the past ten
years- The other is of much
greater importance, that we, the
residents of this great Inland
Empire do not realise what is
in store for ns when all our val
leys and plains become populat
ed and our varied resources developed.
lmm , , t . t I , I -3 I tl '
It is the constant addition of
little things as well as large ones
that characterizes the growth of
a city. We have, reference at
this moment to the number of
up-to-date delivery wagons on
our streets, representing the
many different branches of trade.
To say the least, they look city-
tied.
Now that it is an assured fact
that we are to have an exhibit
at the fair, it is almost as neo -
cessarv that the party in charge
of the exhibit should be sup
plied with something in the line
of literature containing a short
but concise statement of the re
sources of this county. We
would suggest this receive the
immediate attention of those
nterested in the exhibit. A
county whose varied products
requires more than a train every
day to transport these products
to market,' certainly has a basis
for a showing that few counties
on the Pacific coast can exceed.
