The new "Keep to the Right" traffic buttons on the intersections in the business district will have to demon strate their advantage "over the old center mound, and we imagine that the police department is putting them in vogue for that purpose. Oregon's new law raising the speed limit on street intersections from 12 to 20 miles per hour may make the new style regulation more-desirable, but at first glance we are prone to doubt its effi ciency. The center button slows up tiaffic because you can't make such a shaip turn at a great rate of speed, but it has been, a slowingyyj piccssjlwit pronus-d fewer smash ups than may result rroia .iie new rounded coiner.

Oregon made an excellent record during the year 1JKM by landing in seventeenth place among the different states of the union in merchandise shipments ahioad. The tot;.l was $70,r0;i,9;)'., according to figutes from the department of commerce. The largest single classification was wheat aiu other giains, expoits amounting to 12'S,r(iS,l."ilf wiih wheat flour second with a total of $10,17.510. In othe. words, Oregon agricultuie produced over half the totrJ amount of merchandise shipped to -foieign maikets last year. In P.)ur we cannot expect such an export showing, al though the earnings of agricultuie should he considerably in excess of 102 I. The reason for this is the higher prico of wheat and flour this year which always lesolts in a r tluction in the purchase of Oriental buyeis. When flour is c'leap, the Client buys it iu quantities and enjoys the lux ury; when flour is high, the Orient reverts to the greater tonr.umption of vie, their own pioduct. It immediately effects our export trade but the total volume, domestic i nd foreign, should show an increase.
