UNIVERSITY OF OREGOM, Eugene.
Fob. 20. (Special.) Editors and
publishers of the state of Oregon ere
today at the opening session of the
second annual newspaper conference,
held at the school of Journalism of
the university, discussed questions of
printing and advertising costs and
prices. The editors were guests of
the Eupene chamber of commerce at
a banquet in the chamber dihing
room toiiilit.
While the attendance was cut down
by prevalence of influenza, in several
communities of the state, approxi
mately 40 editors and publishers at
tended the pension today.
"A .department for finding: costs is
as Important to the printer as the
machine to do the work," said Henry
M. Hastings of Oakland, Cal.t print
ing expert, who has standardized
printing prices in the San Francisco
bay cities.
Inlform Baxis Advocated.
He described the printers, who hes
itated to investigate cgt accounting
systems an not applying business
methods. He declared that there
should be a uniform basis for all
printers, which should provide for the
upkeep of the plant and for the print
er's present and future needs.
Mr. Hastings stated that the graphic
system of pride determination is ef
fective only through organization in
the community, so that each printer
ba.es his price on the same definite
knowledge and knows at the time
that it is the minimum price.
The application of cold-blooded
business methods to a newspaper was
advocated by George Huntington Cur-
re
ey of the Vale Enterprise in his talk
on "A Scientific Cost Analysis in a
Country Shop."
Money L,0sea DUranacd.
"T grew up in an ink barrel in the
old-fashioned-style office, which
means newspaper ability with no
business ability." Mr. Currey said. "I
lost more money under the old system,
which was : o system, than I thought
was contained in the world. Under
my present system of accounting I
find that I can make one dollar make
two, where I formerly Jo-l money,
Mr. Currey classified the business
of a newspaper as production, selling
ano accountancy, and placed account
ancy as the most important of all.
IC. W. Sawyer of the Bend Bulletin
related his experiences with a cost
system installed in his office one
year ago. "So far as I am concerned."
be said. "I would almost as soon quit
the business as to give up our cost
record and go back to the former
method."
A reliable price list Is the only
system, in the opinion of Lloyd Riches
of the Oregon City Enterprise, who
spoke on "How to Be Absolutely Sure
About Your Prices."
Arcoaoffn Explained.
Eric W. Allen, dean of the school
of journalism, explained an account
ing system which Is said to be more
simple than those now in use.
Nearly 200 covers were laid at the
banquet given in honor of the visit
ing editors by the Eugene chamber
of commerce. Addresses were made
by r. t. Irvine, editor of the Oregon
journal or 1'ortiand: E. B. Aldriih

MONTHLY AIUXGS TO CHIX
FBOM PORTIiAVD PROPOSED,
Intention of Pacific Steamship
Company Given Out ny A. F,
Haines, Vice-President. .
- The establishment of steamship
service with monthly sailings from
Portland to north China ports in ad
dition to the present 23-day service
maintained with the rest of th
orient is the intention of the Pacific
Steamship company, according to A.
F. Haines, vice-president and general
manager of the company, who wai
in the city yesterday.
Sir. Haines is on his way. from
Washington, D. C, where he appeared
before the senate committee on com
merce with recommendations for the
future merchant marine policy of the
United States, to the headquarters of
the Admiral line in Tacoma. On his
way, he stopped at San Francisco to
urge upon H. H. Ebey, assistant
director of operations for the emerg'
en cy fleet corporation, the allocation
of more flhips for the Portland-North
China service. The only satisfaction
he gained, he . said yesterday, was
the 'HBsuranc that vessels could no
be assigned to this service immediate
ly beca-use of the need for bottoms in
the movement of flour to Europe from
the Atlantic coast - and because ; a&
long as shipping board steamers built
In Japan are moving from that coun
try with cargoes to the Pacific coast,
return freight will be light for tn
vessels in the regular trans-Pacific
service.
The plan proposed by Mr. Haines
is to confine the five ships now in
the Portland-Orient line to Manila
and Hongkong for their oriental
ports of call, and place another fleeet
in service between Portland and
Japan, Shanghai, Tsingtau, Dalren
Taku Bar and other north China
ports. f
The establishment of a north China
line would invade a trade , territory,
according to Mr. Haines, that has
heretofore been almost exclusively in
the hands of the Japanese. There is
an unusually strong demand now for
such & line from this port, especially
ior tne movement 01 lumoer.
The nucleus of this line. has' already
been formed by the allocation of the
steamer Wawalona to uly between
Portland and Japanese -- ports ex
clusively, while the other five vessels
in the Portland Oriental service touch
at the other ports of the far east.

ment of the Virgin Islands and Its

that St. Thomas lies 400 miles farther

Pacific toast Shipping Notes.
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 20. (Special.)--
Tne steamship Anyox and the baree Ba-
roda, which have teen loading in Tacoma
for Callao. failed tonight with a total of
l,U59.00O feet, the Anyox from the Dana-
her and St. Paul and Tacoma - Lumber
company's mills, and the Baroda front the
Defiance and, Ianaher mills. The vpssela
are owned by the coastwise steamship and
tsnrge company. .
AThe steamship Sant Inez of the flrace
fleet nailed from Bellinffhani yesterday aft
ernoon with a cari;o of J, 000.000 feet of
lumber and other freight for ports on the
west Coast of South America. The vessel
will go as far south as Antofaraeta. ;
An increase in the transpacific fleet of
Mitsui & Co. this sprine to .at least -five
big- carriers, is anticipated by representa
tives or the big Japanese shipping ocrjro
ration in Seattle. Members of the traffic
staff of James Griffiths & Sons, agents
on this coast ior Mitsui & Co., said today
that the service performed by the steam-
sii i ps Tsu i n si an Maru, Man dasan Ma ru.
Miikesan Maru and Horafsan Muru wiU be
supplemented by i he addition of another
big carrier to the fleet, which will make
possible two Mitsui sailings from Seattle
for ports in the far east in May.
Because of the unfavorable rate of ex
change witli the United Kingdom, Seattle
shipping men believe that more of the
Japanese carriers, which have been plying
between the orient and England and con
tinental Europe will be diverted to the
Puet sound ttade.
. Following the Tsururisan will come the
steamship Mandasan Maru, due in Everett
