THE PHILIPPIHE ISUNDS As congress is now ' laboring with questions that our acquisition of th Phil ippine Islands has thrown upon the Amer ican people to solve, and because citizens of Oregon should appreciate fully, the responsibility that is upan them in having these questions solved properly' and for (he best Interest of all a few basic facts will be mentioned. There are 8,141 islands on which 7,- 655.426 people reside. Of this number 6.987.686 are classed as civilized, and 647.740 uncivilized. The great bulk of th Philippine people are Christian and have been for centuries. When th low wage of sixteen cents a day on sugar plantations, is donsidared these penple can . be truthfully called industrious. Secretary Taftinan address delivered after his visit to th islands 3js; ni now nave x.DUU i-iilipmo '.abururs at work on the Benquet road; an American company has 680 natives quartermaster has employed ; in Manila 1,603 Fillipinos; the street cleaning de partment of Manila .1,600, a total of O.150." The employers of all these n.i.ivos reoorted to Secretary Taft that the native islanders were satisfactory workers. For the eight months ending with August 1905, the exports of domestic merchandise to the Philippine islands from the United States aggregated in value $4,020,200 being $940,776 mora than our exports there for the same months in, 1004. If this total of exports of do mestic merchandise from the United States to th Philippine Islands for th ight month ending with August 1905 there were $1,470,983 worth sent from th Pacifio coast V For the eight month ending with August' 1905 there were imported into th United State from the Philippines $9,902,860 worth of stuff, of this $2. 014,978 worth of stuffs paid duty and th balance cam in free. The principle article that paid duty was sugar not above No.' 16 Dutch standard; coin, of which class of sugar there cam in said eight months 91,086,690 pounds valued at $1,990,999. This was 72,810,990 pounds more than came the eight months ending August 1904. j Th United States is not th only country the Philippine Islands trade with. During th eight month ending with August 1 904 the import into these islands from foreign countries other than th United States aggregated $16,971,414 worth of stuffs; th exports for the same period being $12,343,412; making the foreign trade for the eight month total 629,519,856. ( ' Everybody pushed the Lewis and Clark fair In 1905. Everybody in Union county will Join the home push club in 1 906. Property owners on Fir street are already talking of building cement walk in the spring. The offices are seeking th men in Union county. A'ter the first of the year it is just possible that there will be several men out seeking the office. ..........X; G. E. FOWLLR : Som of u had better commence prac ticing on each other so we will know how to extend the glad hand of fellowship, when the visitors attending th North western Fruitgrowers Association are our guest. On of th Sunday schools in this city teaching th doctrine, that it is better to give than receive, had a dozen or more classes try to discover as many families a possible in th city where assistance might be needed,. After a diligent search th majority of th classes failed. This i an axcsptjonly prosperous community. It is only a few weeks until the North western Fruitgrower Association meet. It is reported that th Cove and Union are both preparing splendid fruit exhibits. Every portion of this county should be represented as other counties are reported to be preparing splendid exhibits. Under the' circumstances Union county cannot afford to take a second rate "position. We have the fruit if it is properly exhibited.
