LESS FLU TO STORE CLOSED ALL DAY CHRISTMAS THE STAR 1 JAPAN Increase of Export in AH Other Lines to Orient Is Very Marked, YEAR MORE THAN DOUBLES China Is Using Copper for Xcw Coin age, While Japan Is Taking Large Amount of Raw Cotton. WASHINGTON, Dec. 24. No feature of the export trade of the United States for 1905 has shown a larger growth tlian the trade with China and Japan, says a bulle tin Issued toy the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Iabor. In the ten months ended with October, exports to China aggregated more than JSO.XWO.OOO In value, against 520,000,000 In the same months of 1904. Exports to Japan were $45,500,000, against a little less than $22,000,000 for the same period In 1904, and $12,000,000 In the corresponding months of 1903. No other country of the world to which our exports are sent show gains approxi mating these of China and Japan. The growth In exports to China from, the Uni ted States Is especially marked In copper, cotton, flour, sewing machines, locomo tives, paper, canned beef, manufactures of tobacco and lumber, though cotton cloth and copper are by far the most Im portant of these items. To Japan the growth occurred in flour, carriages and other vehicles, raw cotton, agricultural machinery, sewing machines, locomotives, leather, paper, canned beef, tobacco and lumber. Cotton cloth ex ports to China In the ten months ending with October aggregated In value 527,403, 450. against 59,637,707 in the same months of 1904. Copper exports to China are compara tively a new feature of our trade with that country, the amount In the months ending with October having been 511,326, 407. against 5611.677 in the same months Of last year. The copper Is used In making new copper coins. Flour Is about the only important article of export to China showing any material reduction this year, while manufactured tobacco shows a ma terial increase. Cotton exports to Japan for the ten months ending with October aggregated In value 513,784,299, against 52,716.529 last year. American cotton is popuhir with the Japanese spinners because It has a long staple, but the cotton grown in In dia and China, which has a shorter staple, is considerably less In price and in the years of high prices of cotton in 'the Uni ted States Japan purchased little cotton In this country, but drew largely on In dia and China. BITTEN BYA SHARK. Exciting Incident on a Warship in the Philippines. Washington, D. C, Star. Naval surgeons have some curious casci to deal with on board Uncle Sam'fi warships. Assistant Surgeon P. M. Jlun son has madv a report to the Navy De partment which ought to settle the long disputed controversy as to the man-eating propensities' of sharks. "November 2, 1904," says he, "a boat swain's mate of the Plcataqua, then lying In the inner harbor of Olongapo. P. 1 , whtle bathing from the side of the ship was bitten on the foot by a shark. The man had a good view of the shark and there can be no doubt as to the identity of the specie of Ash. 'The two arc-shaped bites, one on the dorsal and one on the plantar surface near the toes, showed unmistakably the marks of three rows of teeth in each lacerated wound. On the dorcnun the skin was torn from the underlying tis sues for two inches, two tendons and several branches" of the dorsalls pedis artery were severed. One of the tarsal bones was crushed into small fragments. On the plantar surface the thick faxcla was torn .away about one Inch. As eoon as the man was lifted out of the water an aseptic dressing was applied by the hospital apprentice and the medical offi cers sent for. "As the wound was bleeding profusely, a tourniquet was applied; and the man immediately taken ashore and placed 1 upon the operating table; the fragments ' of bone were removed, the arteries Heated and tendons sutured; the fascia I on the plantar and the skin on both sur faces sutured. through drainage being secured by a rubber drainaRe tube left in the wound. The man was sent to the naval hospital at I avlte the following day, and recovered, some stiffness of the foot remaining." ri r. ...! A - GireMneUnt relief in VaLdl i ICLS Ctarrn-aUor Inflammation.

OLDS, WORTMAN & KING'S FIFTH, SIXTH AND WASHINGTON STREETS " ? ANNUAL TOMORROW SALES START TOMORROW AT 8 A. M. CHRISTMAS DAY SEEMS A PITTING OCPASION TO AGAIN REMIND OUR PUBLIC OP THE ANNUAL DIVISION OP THE STORE'S BENEVOLENT PUND. - $2500.0.0 IN GOLD TO BE DISTRIBUTED AMONG PORT LAND'S CHARITIES ON FEBRUARY 10, 1906 BY OLDS, WORTMAN & BUNG. It having: been the custom of this house for many years to lay -aside annually a certain pcrccntum of the business accorded It by a generous public for distribution among; the city's charities, and whereas, the business of the past eleven months has been the largest in its history far any corresponding period, so In proportion has the Benevolent Fund of the store been Increased this year. As the public has been the potent factor In the enormous increase of this business, thus allowing- us a fund for distribution, among the charitable institutions of Portland larger than over before, ire believe that samo public should decide just what Institutions should share, and in what proportion each should receive. Therefore we decided, with -a profound feeling of thanksgiving to our great public who have accorded to us that generous patronage which has made this privilege possible, that the public shall choose the beneficiaries, naming the share each shall receive, in a distribution to take place at the ending of the store's business year. Saturday, February 10, 1S05, of $2,500.00 in gold, to be divided In 13 parts. &m follows: PIRST CHOICE S750.00 SECOND CHOICE 500.00 THIRD CHOICE 300.00 POURTH CHOICE 200.00 PTPTH CHOICE T 125.00 Pive others to receive each $75.00 amd still another five to divide ? 250.00. Each to receive 350.00. TOTAL 52500.00 The amount is to be divided as- above among such charities of the city as are sup ported by the city or Its organizations otherwise Portland's Charitable Institutions or Societies. We decided to adopt as a method that of a popular ballot and issue a vote with every 25c purchase made at the atore. Votes are deposited In the ballot-boxes placed oon'cn!enily about the store for that purpose. Reports are made regularly through our ads. in the public press, the vote being In charge of reliable and competent folk, and awards will be made at the close of the store's business year at 6 P. M. of Satur day. February 10, when voting will cease. The Institution, organization or society receiving the largest vote, to be awarded the highest amount, and so on until the full rom of J2500.0J has been divided as above.
