"Closer- relationship between New Zealand and the Pacific coast is the aimof .myself and those associated with me," declared William F. Massey, me Jjomimon ol New Zea land, in discussing after-the-war prob lems with The Oreg-onian corre-j tpondent here tonicrht. "As soon as shipping is available ana our contracts with fhe imperial government have been completed it is our hope to resume and develop our irade routes to the Pacific ports of Carada. and the United States and to improve the means of communication between the Dominion and America, as vell as oTir postal service with-other parts of t.ie world. "In 1915 the imperial government contracted for practically the whole of the exportable production of New Zealand and this contract does not ex pire until June 30, 1320. So you see for the next year there is little chance for us to export very much to this oast but with the shipping- that, will be available then, every effort will be made to take advantage of the mar kets on this coast to a greater degree than ever before. "As an instance of our trade and what it will mean I will say that in payment of the exports already shipped we have received 100,000.000 sovereigns or in your currency $500,000,000. Not bad, eh? In the storage plant awaiting .shipment there are at the present time more than 6,000,000 carcasses of mut . ton. Other commodities in enormous quantities also await transportation. That will give you some idea of the possibilities of our export trade. Srai to Aid Kirhanfr, "The reversal of our seasons yours being summer when ours is winter will afford the opportunity of an ex charge of fruits and seasonable prod ucts. "What market is there in New Zea land for the lumber trade of the north western states and British Co lumbia?" he was asked. "I'm afraid that there is going to be a sood market for lumber," he an swered, adding. "Vou may be amused af my answer but," shrusing his shoulders, "the New Zealand forests cannot much longer meet the demand for lumber, I am afraid. Of course we .-ire carrying on reforestation but trees, you know, cannot grow in a day." "How about your tariff?" he was asked, "it is preferential to the other lirts of the empire?" "Yes, but not to the same extent as Canada." "Then you look for a big develop ment of trade between American ports and your country?" Closer Communication Aim. "Oh, yes, as soon as we get the ship ping and w conclude cur. contract with the home government." "And how about postal service?" "It is our aim to develop as quickly is possible cloair communication not only with the coast of America but with all parts of the world. At t-ne ii:ne when we had a line of steam ships plying between San Francisco :i ud Auc kland the Spreckles Line, I be lieve it was I was a member of the legislature at the time. I was accused of being too friendly with the Ameri--ans, and of showing too much favorit ism to that line," .ind he laughed at the i omembranco. Of the problems and ooeisions cf the peace conference, the prtrnier did not c.ire to speak, beyond saying that Premier Lloyd George was :he outstanding figure at the cor.fer ence. He did not wirh to pass an opinion on the work of President Wil son. "For you see," he laughed, "the president and 1 crossed .swords sev oral times."' Departure Mot Fora-oMen. "1 was the first nerson away from the peace conference, though," he ex plained, "and my getting away is a matter I will long remember. I had booked passage for Airs. Massey, my s. '.f and party on the Mauretania which was to sail on Saturday. I had xpected that the treaty would be signed before that time, but it was out off and put off, until it did not look as if 1 could make the trip. Then. Saturday was set and I determined that I would be present to sign on be half of New Zealand. I instructed Mrs. Massey and my party to wait for me in Canada if I could not make the boat. "Going to the admiralty I explained tny difficulty and was offered every facility at the disposal of the navy. Consequently as soon as 1 had signed ibB treaty I hurried to a waiting au tomobile and made a record breaking i un to Havre, where a destroyer was waiting for me. The Mauretania left Kneland. but we cave chase, and at o'clock the next morning 1 boarded her IOC miles at sea." PROSPECT FOR CARS GOOD Pendleton Learns Tiint Movement of Orain Crop Is Assured. PENDLETON, Or., July 16. (Spe cial.) Prospects for sufficient cars with which to move this year's wheat crop are good at the present time, ac cording to information received locally. The railroad administration nas warned, however, that a concen tration of crop movements later may find quick dispatch of empties for load ing impossible. Conditions are bound to be better this year because of the return of mo tive power to freight channels, where, last year, it was devoted largely to troop trains and upply trains for camps. Record-breaking crops in the middle west will require a large num ber of cars and this will be offset somewhat by the almost total crop failure in Montana. Oregon and Wash ington win move a heavy crop, from all indications. 2 PAROLES ARE REVOKED Loui Tebcau and Howard Coffnian Recommitted to Penitentiary. SALEM. Or., July 16. (Special.) Louis Tebeau and Howard Coffman, acquitted in the justice court here to day of a charge of robbing the Julius Aim store at Silver ton this afternoon, were recommitted to the state peni tentiary from which institution they were paroled some time ago.

Screen Gossip. Joe Terry, organist from San Fran cisco, nrrived in Portland yesterday and will assist Cecil Teague at the Majestic organ. The idea of having two organisty originated with J. J. Jennings, owner of the Majestic, who is anxious to have the highest class music all hours of tho day from 11 o'clock in the morning until 11 o'clock at night. mm Asked the other day which he pre ferred, the movies or the "legit" Dus tin Farnum replied "both." "What- youmean both?" exclaimed the inter viewer. "I mean there is much to be said for both,'' said Mr. Farnum. "Sen timent, for example, the living-out- of-a-trunk, the long and the short jumps, etc. The thespian may growl and grumble when enduring the ard- uousness of the 'road, but when he leaves the 'Iegtt' for the movies, dis tance lends enchantment to the view, you know." Already in full swing of popularity in other states "Playthings of Pas sion," the latest Kitty Gordon photo play feature, was held up by the Phil- sdelnhia board of censors.

The board of aldermen in New York city would have nothing to do with censorship and killed the censorship bill by unanimous committee action.

Williams "Gills" is now in the cutting room un der preparation for an early release. m m m Joe Martin, cultured orang-outang, can do everything human but beat his wife. He has none. Lately he has developed a wonder ful hold over children. In the filming of one of the com - mdies in which Joe is the star, the story called upon a hard-fried miner to fan the pantaloons of an nri-hln. Ha fanned, of course, with a sliding mo tion that would never raise blister or deter the young fi-oni evil was. Vet the process looked real to Joseph. His Monkeyship had taken a fancy to the kiddie and it grieved him to see him paduled. Stepping down from .liis chair Joe rushed the offending player. He grappled him around the ankles and tripped him up with a flying tackle that would have done wonders for a collegiate pigsklnner. m m m Tlarabar Castleton. noted screen beauty, will play an important part in "Peg o" My Heart." which Is now un der -preparation, with Wanda Hawley in the title role. Miss Castleton of Arkansas origin, leaped to stage fame in "It Pays to Advertise." which will soon be picturized with Wallace Reid as star. She has played the lead In many photoplays. That "nothing to do until tomor row" Is Vivian Martin's maxim finds Illustration in the fact that no sooner had she completed "The Third Kiss, than she started work on "Louisiana." The latter picture, which Miss Martin has just begun, is from the well-known novel by r ranees tioogson Burnett, au- thor of "Little Lord Fanntleroy. will Buy big package TUB 1 i U ' J -I'll EREAI weighing, over a pound, net.

That means 600.000 a month or 2.400,000 for iiie season of four months. Now a 10-inch sulinon will weigh about 2Vj pounds, ao the young chinooks be ing destroyed each season total about 8.400,000 pounds, and as fish of this kind bring only 6 cents a pound, they are worth to the fishermen approxi matcly $40.000. "These immature Falmon are about 1 '4 years old. Kxperience shows that were they permitted to feed at sea un til they reach the age of 4 years they would increase in weight fully eight times.
