THE STEAMSHIP SCARCITY EX
PORTS IN DANGER
After building up a business with
the Orient for the products of Ore
gon farms and providing freight for
a number of tramp steamers, and oth
er vessels out of Portland, finally re
sulting in what was thought to be a
permanent line of steamers for the
large business offering, Portland
wakes up at the beginning of a new
grain season with a large and bount
iful crop, but no one to accept the
business of handling Portland to con
sumer. No legitimate reason has
been offered for the withdrawal of the
vessels; business was. first class and
the exisiting. rates sufficient; consid
erable money was made but induce
ments were offered by other North
west cities and without warning the
farmers of Oregon were left without
an outlet for the reward of their
year's labor.
Portland must take care of its laurels;-
she must take care of Oregon's
one greatest industry farming the
one we must all fall back upon sooner
or later.
MIDDLEMEN AND CITY MARKETS
Closing old and long established
public markets in cities is not a thiag
easy to understand just now. None
the less, while the demand is for the
wiping out of the middleman, what
we seem to be wiping out instead are
the places where the producer and
consumer can come face to face. The
historical Fulton market of New York
is soon to go if it is not already gone.
The necessary action toward ending
it has already been taken. It fol-
Foreign Population a Big Aid
In America's Success
By Professor HENRI BERGSON. Famous French Philosopher
4 ; -v ! ; -V !
I
IIAVE been much struck by the fact that, though different
races have come to America, there is an original type here;
though so many elements go to shape the population of your
great centers, there is a DISTINCT AMERICAN TYPE.
Since there is no tendency on the part of the immigrants to remain
separate I feel that MUCH GOOD WELL COME FEOM THIS
MIXTUEE OF THE EACES. You have more reading of news
papers, current literature, and you have more schools.
TO MY MIND THE RICHER A TEMPERAMENT THE BETTER.
THE MORE ELEMENTS CONSTITUTE THE POPULATION OF AMER
ICA THE MORE PRIVILEGED AMERICA WILL BE, THE RICHER AND
THE STRONGER.
I am greatly struck by the generosity and hospitality of the Amer
ican people, who are receiving the immigrants generously. It is ce
tainly a great moral lesson to Europe.
lows into oblivion the old Catherine
street market, and other great mar
kets of New' York where New York
ers, for several generations, dealt at
first hand with the growers of fruits
and vegetables and first-hand dealers
in many commodities and staples of
life. J j
New Orleans is now to abandon its !
long ni.d far-famed French market.
In that place city people were, for per
haps something more than a century,
enabled to get almost "back to the
soil" in the readiness with which they
could buy directly irom the raisers of
crops, from fishermen, and a multi
tude of hawkers hawking wares and
products made by their own hands or
produced by their "own labor. Mid
dlemen cut small figure in any of the
transaction int he French market of
New Orleans or the Fulton market
of New York. In fact, .the middleman
was practically eliminated through
the direct communication afforded by
such places between buyer and seller.
If the burden of responsibilty for the
high cost of living, of which such bit
ter complaint is now made, really be
longs to the middleman, why are we
everywhere throwing away opportun
ities for dodging that adroit and ra
pacious personage?
The question is a very interesting
one, and one not easily answered. St.
Louis, within the last decade, has ac
tually lost a great street market
which once stretched practically all
the way from Chouteau avenue south
on Broadway down to Soulard street,
and sometimes beyond. Soulard street
itself still remains a shadow of its
once flourishing little market, but its
old habitues say it is only a shadow,
and they complain that the farmers,
for whom the little Soulard market'
was originally established are being
crowded out by dealers in gimcracks
and knicknacks for whom there seems
to be a louder call than for marketers
bearing the staffs of life. And this
revelation in Soulard street may
serve at least as a partial explanation
of the disappearance of great public
markets everywhere. Tremendous ad
vances in the price of city real estate
may account for it is part, but in
large part it is due to the abandon
ment of these markets by a genera
tion which holds it bad form to take
the family market basket downtown
empty and bring it back filled with
j the good things of life, bought at first
I hand, at prices which the fashionable
j dealers who maintain telephones and
costly delivery service, and who ex
tend credit, can not fairly be expected
to meet. We are willing to pay the
higher prices for the easier and dain
tier ways of marketing. If we are
getting what we prefer, and what we
pay for, let us not unjustly accuse the
middlmen if we can not eat our cake
and, keep it too.
Loaded With Petticoats.
According to Herr Otto Fischel,
whose "Costume In the Nineteenth
Century" is written with German thor
oughness, "about 1856 a lady of fash
Ion wore a flannel petticoat, an under
petticoat three and a half yards wide,
a petticoat' wadded to the knees and
stiffened in the upper part with whale
bones, a petticoat with three stiffly
starched flounces, two muslin petti
coats and then a skirt. Even if all
these were made of "light stuff the
weight and discomfort of such a quan
tity of material were so great that the
idea of a steel crinoline was greeted
enthusiastically, and the inventor clear
ed 30,000 out of it in a fortnight"

It Is Hard to Recognize a Player
REGCN HOP CROP
TO BE NEAR RECORD
The Oregon hop crop now is count
ed practically safe, and that it will be
one of the biggest and best ever har
vested in the state is all but a cer
tainty. .At a number of Valley points
the growers are again spraying their ,
vines to some extent,- but this treat
ment, it is said, is rather a prevent
ive than a remedial measure. Pests
have not yet appeared in a way of ser
iously menace the crop, and the aim
of the growers is to make sure that
their vines are kept in their present
healthy condition.
Dealers have for two weeks been
paying more attention to the progress
of the coming crop than to the mar-
Tket, for orders have not been coming
in a way to permit of much business,
and during the lull in trade many of
them have been traveling about the
"Valley, inspecting the fields and en
deavoring to get a fairly accurate line
on the 1912 output. As a result the
estimates put out some time ago of
a yield running from 100,000 to 110,000
bales have not been materially alter
ed. Reports brought in by these traders
indicate that in the Valley generally
hop crop conditions at this time are
the best seen in years, and while for
the time as" much cannot be said for
the market prospect, the outlook on
the latter score is still far from unfa
vorable. The high prices of last year
are of course not to be expected, but
at the figures that are now offering,
the crop promises to be a much more
profitable one for the producers than
those of a few years back, when pric
es ranged around the cost of produc
tion. In a general way 18 cents now is
counted about the limit on 1912 con
tracts, though a litle business is said
to have been put through at 17 cents
'within the past few days. For the
present at going quotations there is
no very great demand, and sellers'ap
pear to be about as much inclined to
hold off as buyers. Both sides seem
to be waiting for a -clearer market
outlook for the coming crop, which is
expected to develop within the next
week or two.
Heart to Heart
Talks.
By EDWIN A . NYE.
SMALL HINGES.
A little runt of a boy came shyly
forward to meet Mrs. Jones, who. tired
with her shopping, sat down on a
stool in the toweling department of
the big store. .
Mrs..Jones owned a large hotel and
was buying supplies. .
It was the boy's first day at the
counter. He bad just been promoted
from the stock room, where he had
made good.
"What is this beW of toweling worth
hotel rates?" -
The stripling's eyes bulged. 9t
"I'll have to nsk the head of the de
partment This is my first day selling
goods. Please excuse me. madam, for
just a moment"
Rushing to his senior, he eagerly
made the inquiry.
"Are you sure she wants a whole
bolt?" said the department head. "Tell
her I'll be there in a moment and wait
on her myself."
' The boy'a face fell And-T-
What was it? . Something in the
drooping face of the young salesman?
Anyway, when, the head clerk came
forward, briskly rubbinfr his hands.
Mrs. Jones said:
"Excuse me:, this boy is waiting on
me. If you will give trim the prices
we shall get along very well."
They did get along And when the
woman's bill was footed up it came to
$90. Ninety dollars: Wouldn't they
stare when he turned in his little sales
book on his first" da"y's showing?
And this is the seqael: -
Mrs. Jones became a regular cus
tomer of the boy. who was always at
tentive and obliging, and brought her
friends to the counter;
- Very soon the-boy got a raise In
salary and is now the head of the de
partment And he will go higher.
It was a little thing for a tired wo
man to do. but JJt
It was a big thing for the boy and
gave him his first chance as a sales
man. - ' "
The fact is
Little things are the hinges on which
big things turn. - ; " -
Why not emulate the woman's
thoughtfulness? You and 1 probably
never will do any big things In our
lives, but we can do" little things in a
big way. .
Can we not? ,
A thoughtful hint a kind word, a
little boost these are worth more than
reams of paper read at the woman's
club or banquet speeches on the "up
lift" -.
At the Top of the Wool worth
Building, Tallest In the World
tt&ftrf -WWWir0; (&ftit &jS-?
Photo copyright, 1912, by American
i HE- last piece of steel was recently riveted in place on the Woolworth
building, in City Hall square. New York city, the tallest habitable
building in the world. The photograph here reproduced shows the
workmen at the top of the structure celebrating the event It also
shows a number of downtown New" York office buildings, dwarfed by the
gigantic proportions of the Woolworth. This building is fifty-five stories in
height, and its tower light, 760 feet in the air, will te visible ninety-six miles
at sea. Its total cost will be about $13,000,000. This includes the cost of the
land on which it stands $4,500,000. The floor space will be about twenty
three acres, with room for 2,000 offices, which will accomttodate about 10,000
people. The rent roll is expected to be somewhere in the neighbornood of
$2,500,000 a year. Cass Gilbert is the architect i'he new building will be
fifty feet higher than the Metropolitan tower, 138 feet higher than the Singer
building and 245 feet higher than' the Washington monument The Eiffel
tower, in Paris, is 985 feet high, but that is not a building.
MEN 'HIGHER IIP' ARE!
SOUGHT IN NEW YORK
NEW YORK, Aug. 13. Blackmail
extorted from gambling and disorder
ly houses in New York City is said to
find its way into the pockets of three
men "higher up," "who are the real
heads of the graft syndicate that pro
vides police protection for a price to
the underworld.
Information has been given District
Attorney Whitman by private detec
tives working on the Rosenthal case
that these men "higher up" are a
lawyer, a hotel proprietor who claims
strong political affiliations, and a po
lice official. Two Police Inspectors
are said to be implicated. -
District Attorney Whitman now is
convinced that "Bald Jack" Rose told
the truth when he said at least $2,
400,000 was colleced from gambling
houses in one section of New York
City alone. -
It appears that for more than a
year a system has been in operation
by which all gambling and Bisorder
ly houses have been bled.
The investigation already has
shown there always has been police
blackmail through intimidation by
which police officials fattened their
bank accounts; but when it was re
cently "organized" better results were
shown. Private detectives reported
that - under the present system the
grafters were protected from the
complaints of the victims, it being
one of the boasts that one of the men
"higher up" was influenced enough to
prevent trouble.
District Attorney Whitman is said
to have been furnished with a list of
names of prominent persons who play
ed in gambling-houses. It is said
these persons may be subpenaed to
give information. -
"Bald Jack" Rose, "Bridgie" WeV
ber and Harry Wallon are to be taken
before the grand jury and if the work
of that body can be completed, a
blanket indictment charging seven
njen with the murder of Herman Ros
enthal will be found.
Bernad H. Sandler, counsel -for Sam
Schepps, alleged "paymaster" of the
gunmen who killed Rosenthal, compli
cated the situation today by hurried
ly departing for Hot Springs and warn
ing Scheps not to start for New
York until his arrival. Schepps had
said he would waive extradition and
come home at once with Assistant
District Attorney Ruhin and a detec
tive. ; '
Before leaving for the . Southwest
Sandler sent Schepps this telegram:
"Don't talk to Rubin or any other
person and don't leave for New York
until I arrive. '
Sandler offered no explanation oi
why he had taken this action.

POST AT VANCOUVER
WILL COST MILLIONS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. Tenta
tive plans for making Vancouver Bar
racks a brigade post, with detailed es
timates of the necessary additional
cost, have been submitted to Con
gressman Hawley by General Leon
ard Wood, chief-of-staff, in response
to Hawley'a request in transmitting
resolutions of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce.
According to Wood, plans now und
er consideration contemplate the es
tablishment of two or three tactical
erouDs along the Pacific Coast, one
! of which is sure to be at Vancouver.
Detailed estimates of the necessary
expense of "making Vancouver a bri
gade post aggregate $1,160,000 for in
fantry and $1,518,00 for cavalry.
Since troops must come from other
posts it is proposed to abandon, no
additional maintenance charge would
result, while, according to Wood, the
additional cost of necessary new
buildings at Vancouver would be
more than saved by the abandonment
of isolated posts throughout the West
When Women Smoked Hard.
One of the compilers of the "Statis
tical Account of Scotland," published
in 1791. remarks that "the chief luxu
ries in the rural districts are snuff,
tobacco and whisky. Tea and sugar
are little used, but the use of whis
ky has become very great The use
of tobacco may almost be said to be ex
cessive, especially among the female
sex. There is scarce a young woman
by the time she has been taught to
spin but has also learned to smoke.
Smoking seems to have been introduced
as an antidote" to rheumatism and
ague. The favorable alteration with
respect to these diseases has produced
only a greater avidity for tobacco."
