THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1902.
TRADE MAY BE HAD!
Oregon Has Much to Sell to
Philippines.
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.

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.

After five minutes' consideration, the
jury in the case against G. "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.

Latin In the School.
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. Its breeding of plants,
Its vegetable physiology and pathology,
Its hybridizing, its adaptation of food to
desired results, with the bucolics, and the
dependence of man upon the practical Is
revealed.
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
