WAR EARS REVENUE BUT NOT IMPORTS Compilation by Republican . Publicity League Shows . Loss in Receipts. CONTRASTS DEEMED FAIR Periods Chosen for Analysis Are Eight Months Under Republican Itule, and Under Democrats Before and During War. WASHINGTON, Oct. 31. The slight extent to which the European war has Influenced the importation of foreign Roods into the American market will be a surprise to that school of political thought which has believed that war conditions abroad have built a Chinese wall of tariff protection around this country, according to a statement Is sued today by the Republican' Publicity Association through Its president, Jonathan Bourne, Jr. A comparative study of market sta tistics for similar periods before and during the war shows not only that the decrease in Imports is small, considered either as a total or by percentages, it is declared, but that in many of the more important items which make up the sum total of our importations there has been a large and positive in crease even while the war has been raging. Comparisons Are Made. These conclusions are demonstrable from an examination of Government statistics which has been made by the staff of the Republican Publicity As sociation, which says: "The most recent figures made pub lic by the Department of Commerce re garding exports and imports cover the month of August, 1915. Although the European war broke out the first of August. 1914, the British blockade of Germany and Austria was not fully effective during that month. Notwith standing the fact that the blockade was complete, so far as Germany and Austria were concerned, in August, 1915, the total value of imports for the latter month was J12.000.000 greater than in August, 1914. - Other nations, under the favorable tariff rates and free lists of the Democratic tariff law, have been able to invade our markets to that extent. 'That the change in tariff facilitated importations is shown by the fact that i.io average rate or duty for August 1913, under Republican law, was 22 8 per cent, while in August, 1914. under Democratic law. it was only 15 pel cent, and in August, 1915, sank as low ii.i per cent, this latter figure it """""S wnai a large proportion foods is coming in free. r vonsiaereu 1- iilr. i The statistics just made available are particularly useful for comparative purposes for the reason that the eipht months period ended August. 113 was entirely under Republican law; A corresponding period ended Aust, 1914, was entirely under a Democratic law, and entirely free from the I in fluence of the European war. A sim ilar period in 1915 was also under a Democratic tariff law, but influenced by the war in Europe. Total importa tions for these three periods were as follows: ( "onths 1.156.oo.0(.(i 11 V efhf S'wf 1.270 00 000 B ' mo,wl18 1,150,800,000 Those figures show the increased Importations of foreign goods to dis place commodities made or produced in America, and also the protective ef fect of the European war during the eight months' period in 1915, with which comparison is made.

Of a sudden from the ground in front of the officer rose a thing .that brushed the patrolman's face and knocked off his helmet. That was the moment when the officer's heart es sayed a gymnastic leap and then laid still, "But I stood my ground," announced Patrolman Schad in court triumphant' ly, though blushing the color of his hair at the laughter of Public Oerender Robinson and Judge Stevenson.

LOOP ROAD IS LOCATED DETAILS OF ROVTE Alt Oil NO MOUNT HOOD BEING ARRANGED. Highest Elevation Is Attained at Ben nett Pass at 4t0O Feet No Grade to Be More Tban 4 Per Cent. The 20-mile road around Mount Hood, the survey of which was made possible by the visit of Chief Forester H. S. Graves here this Summer, has now been finally located, and the en gineers employed in the United States Forest Service are busy working out the details necessary for construction. The office work is in charge of B. J. Finch, and J. T. Schuyler is the field engineer. Mr. Finch has just returned from a trip over the proposed location of the 20-mile loop and declares that most of the road will be easy to construct, but a few miles being through rough country. He was accompanied on his trip by T. H. Sherrard, supervisor of the Oregon National Forest, and T. Warren Allen, a special agent in the employ of the United States Forest Service. The located road follows the East Fork of Hood River and connects with the Toad through the Hood River Val ley near Mount Hood Lodge. The road reaches its greatest elevation at Ben net Pass and there rises to an eleva tion of 4600 feet. From Bennet Pass, the road connects with the old Barlow road by way of the Barlow Pais, and there Mr. Finch says some of the hardest construction will be encoun tered, the rest of the difficulties in the way of construction being near tke northeastern terminus of the road. i The entire road will not be in ex qess of 4 per cent In grade, and the average will b 3 per cent. It is con sidered remarkable that such an easy grade is attainable in such evidently rough country. Mr. Schuyler and his field party of ten men are at work locating a scenic road that approaches as near to Mount Hood as is possible to get. It will Join the road that has Just been lo cated at Bennet Pass at one end and near Mount Hood Lodge at the other. This road, if constructed, will be one of the most scenic roads in the West, as it is as near to the mountain as is Cloud Cap Inn, and Mr. Finch declares that the view from the highest point on the proposed road is much finer than that obtained from Cloud Cap Inn. Mr. Schuyler and his crew will be finished in ten days, and the entire force then will be used in working the details for the construction of the 20-mile loop. If CREDIE GALLED NORTH PHILLIES' SCOUT TO TALK OVER SOME POSSIBLE PLAYERS. Walter, Manager of Team. Goea to San Francisco From Los Anceln, Hoping to Land Meusel. LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Nov. 1.

He expects to close a deal for Irish Meusel durinjr the minor league meeting. The Los Angeles outfielder declares that he will not report to Birmingham, who grabbed him from the Elmira New York State League club, and McCredie does not look for much opposition in putting over the deal that will make Meusel a Beaver. McCredie will go to Portland for a few days after the San Francisco ses sions, and will return to Los Angeles December 1.

Albany plays Corvallis High in this city next Saturday and Salem High In the Capital City one week later. It is recognized here that both of these schools, especially Salem, have strong teams, but Albany will fight hard for the valley honors. That Albany has a team of practically equal strengtri with the best high school teams of Portland Is shown by the fact that it defeated Franklin High, of Portland. 61 to 0. which is the same score Wash ington High School made against the same team and 15 points more than Jefferson High School scored against Franklin last week.
