MARKET NOT YET OPENED Lumber, Flour, Meat, Canned Goods and Dairy Products in Exchange for Hemp, Sugar, CI para and Many Other Thlngrs. Oregon would like to trade lumber, flour, meat, canned goods and dairy products for the hemp, finishing -woods, sugar and cigars of the Philippines. Oregon has an abundance of one set of articles and the Philippines are exporting large quantities of the other set The only element lack ing to effect the interchange of Oregon and Philippine products Is adequate trans portation, though some consideration must also be given the established habit of com merce. For example, a score of furniture factories at Grand Rapids, Mich-, get their finished woods from Honduras and Brazil because the trade has been estab lished -with those countries, although they might, and perhaps will In time, get their finishing -roods from the Philippines at less cost, and the woods are certainly not Jrtferior to those from Central and South America. The mere fact that the Philip pine wood Is better and also cheaper will not give It the Grand Rapids market It takes time and effort to convince the man ufacturers that they can do better than they are now doing; also to organize the industry In the Islands j the output may e In the form that Is desirable here. But these will follow In due reason, if the transportation facilities be sufficient to Dandle the business. . There is now no line of steamships di rect between any American port and Ma nila, A considerable number of vew;els ply between Atlantic port and the Phil ippines via the Suez Canal, but they are tramps. From the Pacific Coast several aim, oj. sieamsiups reach to Hong Kong where all Philippine consignments must Do trans-shipped. Government vessels make the run through and deliver their cargoes In Manila, but only the shipa op erated or chartered by the United States do this from the Pacific Coast. Liners Ply from Portland. San Francisco and 2?und.rt0 the 0rIent. but they trade With China, Japan and Russia Imports from the Philippines are of raw materials admirably suited to feeding American faotories. The hemp is here manufactured into cordage, etc., the sugar comes in a raw or brown state, and the finishing and ornamental woods are re quired by American furniture factories and for the Interior of railroad and trolley cars and of buildings. What Oregon would send to the Philippines are manu factured products. This exchange would Ibe highly beneficial to both parties to the transaction. It is the sort of expansion that Oregon most needs. American brewers send to "Manila about SO carloads of beer a month. Much of this comes from points as far East as Mil waukee and St JLouIs, sometimes pawing through Portland and being transshipped at Hong Kong, and yet Portland brewers do nothing toward supplying the Manila market Every other Pacific Coast port sends beers to the Philippines. Oregon has a large amount of hemlock that has not much value ns lumher here. It warps too easily. This is said to be the only soft wood Imported Into the Philippines that does not succumb to the ravenous white ant of the islands. Therefore, this product, rather cull in this country, is of the greatest value in the Philippines, and it is reasonable to suppose that a profitable market for large quantities of It could be found there. Xo dairy prod ucts to compare with those of Oregon are found In tho Philippine market, or else where in the Orient for that matter. A little extra attention to the details of packing will put our butter and cheese In position to command the Philippine market Our canned fruits and vegetables can go as they are. Our meats may be liandled in the usual manner, but Oregon should have more packing-houses in order to turn the fat steers from, the ranges into commercial beef. Oregon flour always holds its own everywhere, and it should have a better chance before the people of Manila than the necessity for trans shipment at Hong Kong now gives it, All the hemp imported in Portland Is manufactured here by the Portland Cord age "Works less than a ship's cargo per year. San Francisco also manufactures the hemp it imports, and refines the raw sugar it receives from the Philippines. Portland and San Francisco and Puget Sound consume considerable quantities of (Manila cigars, and larger quantities go through to Eastern cities. Portland early last Summer placed an order for orna mental woods of the Philippines, but it nas not yet been filled, the facilities of the Islands being unequal to the, task of saw ing and assembling the material for prompt shipment This trouble is expected soon to be cured bj the Introduction of Ameri can machinery and American methods of getting out the timber Hemp is imported into the United States ifree of duty, but there is an export duty of $15 per long ton on all. hemp taken from the Philippines. Until tb.e 15th of last November this export duty was only $7 50 per long ton. Sugar brought from the Philippines to the United States mufct pay an export duty or $1 per long ton, and an import duty of $21 4S per long ton. Ci gars must pay an export duty of $30 per long ton and an import duty of $1 50 per pound, and 25 per cent advalorem. There Is no export duty on woods, but the Im port duty into the United States ranges irom 51 to ?2 per 1000 feet. Ordinary lumber Imported Into the Phil ippines must pay an Import duty of 25 cents per cubic meter. Formerly It paid 57 cents. "Wheat flour must pay 40 cents per 220 pounds; prior to November 15 It was $2 17. Meats, salted or In brine, must now pay a duty of 73 cents per 220 pounds Instead of $S 25 as formerly. Canned veg etables are subject to a duty of 2.5 cents per kilogram (about 1 cent per pound), and canned fruits must pay 2 to 4 cents per kilogram. The duty on butter is 5 cents per kilogram. Transportation men say they will run steamships direct to the Philippines as soon as there Js traffic in sight to justify the move. They do not even demand that the new line shall pay expenses from the start, knowing that it is almost inevi table for a new line like this to lose money at the beginning, though it later Ibecomcs self-sustaining and then a source of good profit They admit too, that Portland has many advantages as a ter minus for such direct steamship line to Manila the shortest route, fresh-water "harbor, etc. But they also say the trad ers must go first to introduce wares and take orders. And they say more activity In this respect on the part of local mer chants would probably result in establish ing a trade that alone would make Port land a great port and a great commercial city. The lines of commerce with the rich Philippines are now taking form, and It will be much easier to bring the trade this way before the transportation chan nels shall be otherwise established than afterward. How Hay Got Into TroHble. People living in a house on Fourth street, nea- Taylor, were awakened from their sleep yesterday morning by a sud- den noise,, apparently proceeding from the foundations of tht place, and then -r-xs heard the sound of someone snoring, foghorn fashion. "What can It bo? Is it some machine, I wonder?" queried the star boarder. Search was made, and under the foun dations of the house they found a big hole, and In the big hole lay Archie Ray. well known around the County Jail as a confirmed user of morphine, wrapped In a lot of old clothes. Ray was sleeping soundly, and from his nasal organ pro ceeded the noise which would have put a lognorn to shame. A policeman was sent for, and when he beheld Ray he shook him violently and said: "You're in trouble again. Come along." Ray sub mitted meekly. In the afternoon he was taken before Municipal Judge Cameron, and he started the ball rolling by re marking, with ta pleasant smile: "Morn ing, Judge. I'm here again." "I see you," stated the Judge, severely. "Ray, you have been before this court too often, and we will have to make an example of you. Tou pleaded guilty to a charge of trespass in sleeping in the foundations of that Fourth-street house?" "Yes. sir," replied Ray. promptly. "I suppose you'll send me to Jail again?" "You will go to jail for the next 25 days," said the Judge. NO SCALP BOUNTY TAX COUJPIT COURT DECIDES "LAW DOES XOT REQUIRE IT. THE BACON-SHAKESPEARE FAD The New Phase of This Craze In Enfcland. New York Evening Post The Bacon-Shakespeare controversy has been conducted vigorously in the recent reviews. First -Mr. "W. H. "Mallock pro claimed himself, in the Nineteenth Cen tury, a convert to Mrs. Gallup's "oi llteral cipher." This is a cipher Involving the use of two fonts of type. It is de scribed by Bacon himself in his work; "De Augentis Sdentlarum." Mrs. Gallup traced the cipher through the first folio. ,and discovered that Bacon had woven into tne plays the fact of Iris parentage (Queen Elizabeth bore him to Leicester) and of his hopeless passion for Margaret of Na varre, besides other less scandalous in formation, which we shall consider later. Next, Leslie Stephen, In the National Re view, reversed the procedure, and proved out of Bacon himself that Shakespeare wrote all of Bacon's works. Dr. T. C. Mendeuhnll, meanwhile. In the 'Popular Science Monthly, showed that, comparing in various writers the percentages of words of one, two, three syllables, etc., no style so closely resembles Shakes peare's as Marlowe's, unless It were Pro fessor Shaler's of Harvard. Dr. Menden hall did not press the point but he evi dently felt that the Bacon people were on a false scent, and that Professor Shaler's part in Elizabethan literature would bear looking into. So far Mrs. Gallup and Mr. Mallock appear to have been the only thoroughly serious personA in the debate. Another was added in Mr. R. A. Marston, who writes to the London Times, showing that Bacon had a surprising acquaintance with Pope's "Iliad," or Pope with the Bacon cipher: At first, like Mr. .Mallock. I was a good deal Impressed by It (Mrs. E. W. Gallup's Tho Bl Llteral Cypher of Francis Bacon"), especially as on testing; the cipher story by the ram pies given it seems to work all right But among other extraordinary things which Mrs. Gallup says rhe "discovered" -was that Bacon had made a translation of Homer's "Iliad." which he had hidden In cipher in Burton's "Anatomy of Melancholy": this translation she publishes In her "great work" (it certainly Is a big book). But here the "bl-llteral" breaks down; It be comes. In fact too literal for Bacon must have taken Pope's translation nearly a century be fore he wrote it and made a bad paraphrase of it in prose. On comparing with Pope it was clear at once; In fact tho fat or rather the Bacon was In tho fire. It would be easy to give many other speci mens of Mrs. Gallup's "Bacon" "Iliad," but I think the following will sufllce: Homer's "Iliad," II, lines 73 to 737. Literal translation by C W. Bateman. LL. B.: 734. "Next those who held Ormenlon, and the Spring Hyperla; and those who possessed Asterion. and the white peaks of Titanos; these did Eurypylos. Euaemon's glorious pon, command. "With him followed forty black ships." Pope's verse translation: "The bold Ormenlan and Aaterlan bands In forty barks Eurypulus commands, Whero Titan hides his hoary head in snow. And where Hyperla's silver fountains flow." Mrs. Gallup's "Bacon" prose: "Next Eurypylus led th Ormenlan and th Aa terlan bands In forty vessels, from the land where Titan hldeth In snows his hoarie bead. Or wh?re the sliver founts of falre Hyperla flow." Mrs. Gallup vouches for the "absolute ve racity" of her statement that Bacon made this translation. If he did. then Pope must have discovered tho key to his cipher and cribbed his translation. Increase in. Total Rate "WIU Be 25 Per Cent, bat City Assessment Will Xot Exceed 7 SUlIs. Taxpayers In Multnomah County will be pleased to learn that they do not have to pay a l-mlll scalp bounty tax this year, which would amount to $48,000. An exam ination of the two scalp bounty acts passed by the Legislature of 1S01 discloses the fact that the l-mlll tax only applied to the 1300 assessment roll. This was to meet a deficiency in the scalp bounty fund, so that certain out standing warrants could be redeemed. There were many of such warrants un paid for want of funds, because certain counties ignored the law of 1S99 providing for raising revenue to pay bounties on scalps. The statute now in force covering this subject provides that certain specified bounties on scalps shall be paid by the different counties in the state, and the State Treasurer, out of- the general fund, shall reimburse each county of the sums bo disbursed, to the extent of two-thirds. estate of Andrew G.

Bishop O'Dea is still In Seattle, and Is expected to return today. Right Rev. Verwillghen, vicar-general of the diocese, was seen at Vancouver last night, and denied the story that removal was con templated. "Unless Bishop O'Dea has changed his mind since leaving here last week, nothing definite has been an nounced." said the vicar-generaL "The question of removal has been dis cussed, but the obstacles In the way will require serious consideration. To erect the buildings and make the necessary preparations -for transferring the see to Seattle will require an expenditure of 5100,000. Moreover, it will take seveal years to arrange for removal.

"W. "Weatherly, president and manager of the "Weatherly Creamer' Company, East Morrison street charged In Justice of the Peace Kraem ers court with violation of the state pure food law, relating to the sale of short-weight butter, returned a verdict of not guilty yesterday. There were two other charges named In the complaint against Mr. "Weatherly, of selling process butter without so marking it, and sell ing alleged adulterated butter not prop erly marked, but these two latter charges were dismissed on motion. The charges were made by Dairy and Food Commis sioner Bailey, and he was represented by Deputy District Attorney Gatens. Mr. "Weatherly was represented by A. C. Em mons. From the qutset the defense asserted that if any loss of weight had occurred In the butter, this was due to natural shrinkage from evaporation, or loss In transit seeing that the butter Is question had been shipped from this clty Decem ber 20, to E. P. Bergman. Sumpter. Ad- parently this was the view the Jury took of the case. m The section of the pure food law under wnicn tne prosecution was conducted is: Each square or roll of butter kept, accepted or offered for sale in the State of Oregon, which Is represented to contain one pound In weight, shall contain fully 16 ounces; and each square or roll of butter kept or offered for sale la the State of Oregon which shall be repre sented to contain two pounds In weight shall contain fully 32 ounces. Evidence was given by Mr. Bailey that he seized in the store of EL P. Bersman, Sumpter, a box containing 20 squares or butter December 2S, bearing the stamp and wrapper of the Weatherly Creamery Company, and that- these squares were not up to standard weight, although la beled "Oregon Creamery Butter, full weight 32 ounces."-' "I wish at this time to offer the box and packages seized as evidence," ob served Mr. Gatens. "We decidedly object," broke In Mr. Emmons. 'The witness has not shown any proof that the butter was sold by tne defendant." "Objection overruled. The circumstances warrant the admission of such evidence. The Jury can decide whether or not the Weatherly Creamer' supplied the butter in question," said Justice of the Peace Kraemer. The crate was then attacked by Deputy Sheriff "Wagner, who wielded a hammer In a muscular fashion. A scale was placed on the bench, where It was narrowly watched by the Jury, and several pack ages were found to be full weight. "Of course, we have got to allow what was lost In weight through evaporation In transit It is Impossible to guarantee that every package can weigh alike," re marked Mr. Emmons. Ten witnesses were then called for the defense. In support of Mr. Emmons contention. James H. FIsk, chemist, testified that be had experiment ed 10 years ago with butter, and found that It would evaporate to some extent "The condition of 'surroundings has much to do with the extent of the evap oration," testified T. S. Townsend, a but ter and cheese merchant "Can you say positively that the shortages in the pack ages now before this court are altogeth er due to evaporation?" he was asked. "No. sir." replied Mr. Townsend. In telling his side . of the case, Mr. "Weatherly testified: "It is almost impos sible to put up butter In packages of en tirely uniform welirht The fact that the butter asserted to be short in weight has been moved about for 17 days, from De cember 20 to the present time. Is a suffi cient explanation asto its weight now." A piece of butter two ounces In weight was then cut off and shown to the jury, to demonstrate the amount of short weight Mr. Bailey next exhibited a bot tle containing two ounces of fluid, and asserted that evaporation to the extent mentioned In evidence for the defense was impossible. "I weighed several packages of butter at Sumpter, shipped from other creameries in the state, and all of them turned out to be full weight," concluded Mr. Bailey. The case then went to the Jury. Considerable sympathy Is expressed for Mr. "Weatherly, as he has suffered consid erable Inconvenience since the prosecu tion was begun against him. No animus has been shown against Mr. Weatherly, there has been no desire on the part of anyone to injure him. and the charge on which he was acquitted has now -been shown to have been an Incorrect one.

San Francisco Call. President Jordan, of Stanford, has ex pressed the thoughts of many educators In demoting Latin from the primacy it has too long enjoyed In the curriculum of the schools and universities. A knowledge of its grammatical structure may be ac quired, to serve as information upon Its derivatives Incorporated Into the English tongue, but .to make it the leading part of a scholastic course Is to divert atten tion and take time from learning that is far more Important to the modern man or woman. Dr. Jordan is himself In the front rank of American scholars, but how small a part of his eminence Is due to his Latin! The useful man of these days does not patter Latin. He Is at work upon the dynamic problems which affect the wel fare of the race. He has applied power and has derived It from sources unknown In that age when learning consisted In reading Virgil, Caesar and the literature of the Augustan age In the original. Learning now has Its best application In the study of man and his needs. Com pare our scientific agriculture, with Us analysis of soils.

A strong guild of classicists yet holds Its ground In our universities, out the children of the people are turning to the studies which Increase the power of man over nature, and not his knowledge of a dead language and the blind staggering of the races that thought In it and were without knowledge of the physical uni verse of which they were a part Germany now has a steamship service be tween ITamburK and Manila.
