week, when 52s 6d was paid for the
steamer Batsford and 55 shillings for
the steamer Kish to load grain here for
Europe, the Argentine rate was quoted
from 15 to 20 shillings higher than that
for Portland.
No more striking change has appeared
In any trade feature of the war than
In the relative rates out of Argentine
and out of Portland. In 1914 the fol
lowing charters were reported in the
first week in January for Argentine
loading: Steamers Maria C. 6000 tons.
11 shUUngs for wheat. 13s Id for oats
Commonwealth, 5000 tons, 10s M Sid
mouth. 000 tons, 10s 3d. and Neuguen.
?00 tons. 12S 60. For the "respond
ing week this year t"VBtram" mngs
6500 tons, was reported at 60 shill.ngs.
the Needles at the same rate, and the
Appledore. 6500 tons. 67s 6d. while the
Erumcree. 6500 tons, was paid 6.s 6d
for wheat and 72s 6d for oats.
Reducing these figures Jo United
States money and measures, it B found
that in January. 1914, Portland was
paying approximately 24 cents a bushel
freight on wlieat to Europe compared
with about 36 cents a bushel now the
rule! In January. 1914. the Argentine
wheatgrower was .rf'Vf
about SH cents a bushel freight to Eu
rope, and this year he 18 paying 44
cents a bushel. Last year the Argen
tine rate on oats was as low as
a ton. this year it Is J17.2S.
In percentages, the Portland rate has
Increased about 50 per cent, while that
of Argentine has Increased nearly 500
per cent on wheat and 550 per cent on
oats. Shippers believe this abnormal
situation cannot continue much longer.
The Argentine ports are 2300 miles
nearer to Europe than are the orth
Taciflc ports, and there are no canal
tolls to be paid. As soon as the avail
able steam tonnage in the Orient is ex
hausted. Portland rates are expected to
advance or those from Argentine ports
to decline.

Flouting Ways and Cribs for Piers
Sink Off Victoria.
VICTORIA. B. C. Jan. 30. Two cribs
for pier construction, each valued at
1-0 000 and a floating drydock which,

ured at having been worth IbO.000.
were lost in deep water off this city
at noon today. Failure of the drydock
to sink evenly to permit successful un
loading of the cribs on the sites chosen
was the cause of the accident.
The dock's huge framework first be
gan to list, then toppled over and was
swallowed up, carrying everything
with it. The cribs weighed 3500 tons
each, being of ferro concrete construc
tion. They were put together on the
dock the contractors. Grant. Smith &
MacDonnell. having prepared them as
one of their first problems in the
building of Victoria's new ocean piers.
All was in readiness today and the
engineers invited prominent guests to
witness the delicate task of placing
the piers. Submarine-like the dock was
supposed to sink by -the flooding of
certain compartments, but they did not
all work.

Hoodav, February 1, 1015.
DEAN COLLINS. Editor.
EDITORIAL
The Ground Hog will be in
our rnWat tomorrow A. M.
We find different conceptions
of the G. H. held by different
persons. For Instance, the party
from whom we purchase our
pork chops and sausages has a
far different mental picture of
the ground hog from another
friend who insists on backing
us up into a corner on all oc
casions and instructing us in the
theories of Single Tax.
Both may be right, but both
are thinking of a far different
species of G. H. from the
weather - compelling quadruped
which is booked to make his
annual appearance here tomor
row. If the G. H. doesn't happen to
get between himself and the
sun on that occasion, the birdies
may as well get ready to fly
back from war-ridden Mexico
to the sunny and peaceful realms
of the N. W.. but If he does
get a slant at his shadow
we're all to the goloshes and
umbrellas for some time to
come.
Nature is plumb full of sym
bolism, according to one of our
friends who has been reading
Maeterlinck, and so is the G- H.
Frinstance the G. H. may be
taken as an attitude of the pub
lic mind (See W. Wilson's psy
chology.): the shadow as al
most anything except the effect
of the Democratic administra
tion; and the sun for war In
Europe or a crop failure in
Afghanistan.
Which, we claim. Is pretty
deep symbolism.
However, laying all these oc
cult things aside, let us hope
that when the Ground Hog of
Economy burrows out Into our
legislative halls, the Solons and
Lycurguses will steadfastly
hold a parasol between him and
the effulgent radiance of the
various lobbies.

Among the thrills in this 7000 feet of
beautifully toned film are the capture
of a ferocious wild mountain lion, the
treeing and roping of a full-grown
lynx and a spectacular wild-geose hunt,
in which the hunters bring down with
their guns nearly 800 birds in a little
more than three hours.
The disciple of Isaac Walton believes
that the greatest known sport Is fish

the pictures of the capture of a 36

BIBLE STUDY ADVOCATED
REV. L. K. RICHARDSON CHAMPION'S
SCHOOL. COURSE.
Keatlworth Presbytertaa Taster De
clares History, Intellectuality and
Morality Demand Adoptloa.
"There are three Teasons why the
Bible should not bo barred from tne
public schools." said Kev. L. X. Rich
ardson, paBtor of the Kenilworth Pres
byterian Church, yesterday morning.
"First, there is the historical reasbn;
second, the Intellectual reason and
third, the moral reason."
Dr. Richardson said that the May
flower compact began with the w.orl.
"In the name of God." and that wash.
Ington had said "Religion and morality
are the pillars of civil society."
"Before a public school system was
organized in this country," said the
clergyman, "the framers of the Con
stitution gave us the great ordinance
of 177. which has been called the
charter of liberty under which our
public schools claim the right to exist.
The ordinance reads: 'Religion, mor
ality and knowledge being necessary
to good government and the happiness
of mankind, schools as a means of ed
ucation shall forever be maintained.
"On his death bed Andrew Jackson
said: The Bible Is the rock on which
our republic rests.' The founders of
our Nation regarded the Bible sb the
Nation's book and therefore it should
be restored to the Nation's schools. Our
own State of Oregon was founded by
Christian missionaries, whose memory
and heroism any man dishonors who
discourages the reading of the Bible
in the public schools.
"The child who is untrained in Bibli
cal knowledge is a walking ignoramus.
Therefore men like President Butler,
of Columbia: ex-President Gilman, of
Johns Hopkins, and Erisldent Wilson
have pleaded for the re-toratlon of the
Bible in education, not In the name of
religion or sectarianism, but for its lit
erary value.
"The spelling book and Caesar are
necessary, but like all Gaul, education
is divided into three parts; the chief of
these parts is the religious. Knowl
edge saves nobody. The devil is well
tnformed; the biggest rogues are wise;
knowledge, like dynamite, may be used
for various purposes. I applaud the
splendid way in which knowledge is
taught in the Portland public schools,
but the emphaslB on morality is shock
ingly omitted. In the meantime pro
fanity, immorality, crime are steadily
Increasing and the Juvenile Court
"lT'nis concluding remarks Dr. Rich
ardson advocated the reading of the
Bible without cbmment in the schools.
