VANCOUVER, B..C..-July 1. (Spe
rial.) "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. Both men
originally were sent to the penitentiary
iroin Multnomah county for automobile
thefts.
Action in revoking- the paroles was
taken by Governor Olcott following a
statement by the men to the effect that
they had stolen property in their pos
session. . -

Lately he has developed a wonder

In the filming of one of the com -

story called upon a hard-fried miner

"The venaral public and even the pit
ere anU fishermen themselvea do not
fully appreciate the serloua eltuatton
'which confronts Hie flehlus ludunlry of
the Columbia river," aaid leputy War
den Larson today.
"If they did. some stringent measures
would have been imposed Ionic before

struction of young chinook nalmon a

industry, but its alto depreciating the
quality and vajue of the Columbia river
pack.
Catch Valued at M-O.OOO.
"Do you know that during- the past
few seasons an average of 20,000 young
Chinook ealmQn measuring 30 luchci
or Jebs in length have been taken each
day? 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. Thus that number of Ash Would
weigh 9,600,000 and at 11 cent! a
pound, the ruling price now. would be
worth more than $1,000,000 to the men
who catch them.
Itemed y Not Drastic lnoagh.
"Juxt think what this ruthless de
struction of youiiK chinoftjvs a doii.g
to the fishing industry. What success
would a farmer have if he insisted on
difreinir his potatoes s soon as they
began to blossom? That fs what is be
ing done by our fishing Interests and
t( ill they wonder why the quality of
the pack deteriorates and the tuns of
sutmon do not increase.
"It is true the packers did de some
thing a few days ago by refusing to
accept fihh under 'JO inches in length,
but they did not po far enough. As 1
said before, a -0-iiuh chinook weighs
only about -3 pounds. That is not a
