Specially-appointed delegates' presented "The Industrial Commercial Advantages of the 'Clties'of the South." , Horticultural -Hall was crowded, tonight C when Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Min ister, addressed the convention on "Amer ican Trade With the Orient." Minister Wu was given a flattering reception, and ? his Speech was frequently Interrupted by r applause. He said: "The 'world today Is pervaded with a . spirit at commercialism. The cry now everywhere is commercial expansion. This is very good. I am very glad to hear it. It Is far better than territorial expansion "' This" latter expansion In many cases ' works hardship and does injustice. In making this comparison I do not mean to refer to any nation or to any individual; ' I am speaking in a general way. Trade and commerce is good for us; It benefits i you and it benefits us; it is a mutual ; "advantage 1 "There are those who for some trade . concession make an excuse to seize terri tory, and there are merchants, and those belong -to the great, numerous, class who r are sincere in their trade and give "what they take; s they earnestly deal In what they possess. China is one of those na- tf 6ns--which consume more than they can t produce. So In many things we have turned to the foreigners for goods that Xe .need. Thus, China Is the greatest market for your people. We consume many things that we do not grow." Continuing, Mr. Wu said China's Im ports of American cotton were Increasing every year. He said It had been argued that China, was economical, and "would, not purchase many American manufac tures, .especially those, termed luxuries. Human- nature, he said, is .never satls fied, and the Chinese will buy many things when they come to know the use of them. "Commerce," said Minister Wu, "makes friends,, cements friendship and., main tains peace. Therefore, by extending: your com merce, ydu will be indirectly maintaining: the peace of the world.'

PORTLAND SHOULDGET IT NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL CONYEN VENTION IN 1002. Superintendent Ackerman Snggcatm That an Invitation Be at Once. Ex tended to the Association. SALEM, June 12 Superintendent f Public Instruction J. H. Ackerman is of the opinion that Portland stands a,' good chance of securing the .National Educa tional Association meeting In 1902, and suggests that arrangements should .be made at once to extend an Invitation to the 'association and properly to urge the claims of that city. The meetings of the. National Educational Association are attended by thousands of teachers in public and private schools in every sec tion of the United States. If Portland should secure the meeting for next year, those teachers would learn of the climate and resources of this state and would do more In disseminating that Information than would any other class of people. From the sole standpoint of advertising the country, therefpre, the holding of a session of the association at Portland would seem to bo well worth striving for. , In speaking of the matter today Su perintendent Ackerman said: "It has occurred to me that this might be an opportunp time to dall the atten tion of the people, of the state," and es. peclally of Portland, to the advisability of extending an Invitation on behalf of the state and city to the National Educa tional Association to hold Its next year's session In Portland. The association will meet at Detroit, Mich., July 8-12, and the Invitation could be given at that time. "Such'an Invitation was extended to the association three years ago, and was well received; so much -so. that the executive committee of the association, after a care ful examination of Portland's claims, re ported In favor of Portland as Its second choice. With the action of the commit tee as a guide, may we not hope to secure the association when It next comes to the Coast, as it' will in the near future? In fact, many of Its prominent -members have repeatedly expressed a belief that Portland's chances are excellent If she will only present her claims In the proper way. "I would suggest that the matter be taken up by the citizens of Portland, and such steps taken as will Insure to them this meeting. That a meeting of this great association will be of incalculable value to the educational Interests of the state there Is no question; hence, It Is needless, perhaps, for me to say that the state edu cational department stands ready to assist In every possible way In securing the association meeting at Portland." BIDS' WERE "REJECTED. Contractors Wanted Too Much for Soldiers' Home Work. SALfcM, June 12. Bids were opened to day for the construction Of he new barracks and other improvements at the Oregon Soldiers' Home at Roseburg, but as all the bidders put the price higher than the appropriation, $16,000, all bids were rejected and after the plans and specifications have been modified, an other call for bids will be made.

New Bids for Statehonse Work. Owing to the fact that plumbers have not had time to secure prices on materials, the bids for making the new lavatory -improvements in the statehouse were not opened but a new call for bids will he made In order that they may have a chance to figure on the Job, Only one bid was presented today and that was not opened. r Received at the Penitentiary.
