Points Out Portland's Opportunity ' " Lecture Before the Commercial Club Expnnslon Views. H. R. LcttIb grave the members of the Commercial Club an Interesting- and valu able talk last evening -on the commercial prospects of Portland In the Orient, and particularly In the Philippines. He said the flret great need now was transporta tion, and then all Portland merchants had to do to enter markets unlimited In ex tent end greater than was ever Imagined was to study the needs of the people there. Mr. Lewis explained that ho went to the Islands In the Interests of a dozen large mercantile Arms of Portland. He said the venturo was successful so far as trans portation permitted and crushing tariff regulations at Manila could be overcome. He also admonished Portland merchants that they knew little about the foreign trade, but followed with the assertion that they were quickly learning. "The whole Orient Is open to Portland." eald the speaker. "It Is told In two words flour and lumber. Portland Is the cheap est flour market In the world, and the same may almost be said of lumber. Every outgoing vessel from here carries heavy cargoes of these two products, and other merchandise will naturally follow. JU1 those people from Vladlrostock to Singapore, or even Calcutta, are heavj consumers of our flour, and our lumber meets their requirements." Of the Manila market he spoke In the most hopeful vein. American flour Is In Ereat demand, as the natives are eager to substitute It for their natrve rice and fish. Mr. Lewis reviewed statements he made as representative of the Manila Chamber of Commerce, pertaining to almost pro hibitive tariff duties, which he said bore heaviest on the United States, because these duties were most absurd on the necessaries of life, which the United States furnished. The anomaly of a Na tion owning islands and taxing its own nerchants heavier than the commerce of other nations was commented on. Mr. Lewis related an amusing Incident of how fond the natives were of hardtack to show their preference for breadstuffs made from flour. The extent of the market In the Philippines alone he could not estimate, but he thought it great. As for the fu ture of the Islands, the speaker said they could paslly sustain 45000,000 people. This was based on the fact that they were as large as Japan, which had a population of 4iO0O.O(X. The productiveness of the soil and the variety of articles grown were mentioned. Mr. Lewis corrected a gen erally current mistake concerning the value of American lumber. "I was always told, and especially when I went to the Philippines, that It was ab solutely useless to try to open up a mar ket there for our lumber, owing to the rav ages of the white ant. I want to say the white ant Is a bugbear. Under favorable conditions he wl'l cat out a piece of lum ber, but this Is ordinarily where it touches the ground and Is In a damp place. So far as his ravages not being prevented that Is elmply nonsense. The Government is now building a largo cold-storage plant, worth over $303,000. and many other buildings, and using Oregon fir to do It with. This lum ber, I understand. Is to be treated with some sort of a preventltlve." Mr. Lewis opened the eyes of the mer chants by giving them some inside figures of the Immense trade possible in the Ori ent. He said Kobe. Japan, today had more tonnage visiting It than did New Tork. and he named several of the big open ports on the Asiatic coast where from 50 to 75 big pteamers could be seen discharging or load ing cargo at once. While he was In Shang. hal he met a commercial traveler, who in. Jormed him in a matter-of-fact way that he had just taken a single order from a Chinese merchant for IS 000 reams of writ ing-paper. This was only one dealer, who paid, as all the Chinese merchants do, cash upon receipt of the goods. Of steamer op portunities Mr, Lewis said: "There is room at the present day for a steamer running from Portland to the Hawaiian Islands, thence to Manila and on to Singapore and return. Singapore ex ports annually to this country something like 75,000 tons of merchandise. Portland Is the only city on the Coast where o 6teamer line Is possible at the present time, owing to traffic conditions existing, and should, without question, make every effort to secure at the earliest possible day steamer accommodations. I have been trying for six months to ship some flour to the Islands for one of the firms I went there for, and am yet urtab'e to do so for .want of sufficient space." At tne close or ms remarks Mr. Lewis added that he was an ardent expansion ist. In tho broadest sense, which brought quite an applause from the audience. He wished to disabuse the minds of all who thought the Philippines would be a dead weight on the hands of any government. A hard hit was given thoe advocating turning the Island over to Filipino govern ment: "We cannot no more leave there, no more give them up, no more barter them away, than we can fly. It Is Impossible. We are there protecting the Interests of every nation in Europe, and we must pro tect them. I do not believe there,ls a sin gle American who sincerely desires us to Slve them up to England.'Germany, Russia or any other country, or even turn them -ever to the monkey Filipinos, which they Teally are. They know nothing about gov ernment, are divided Into countless tribes, speaking as many languages. No nation In Europe would permit us to turn their interests there over to those people there, who would simply cut their throats and take their property." President Cake. In Introducing Mr. Lewis, said the club owed gratitude to the enterprising firms that had sent Mr. Lewis Into this new field. He further commented on the co-operative spirit being mani fested.

California Society Appeals to Orejfon for Fundi. SAN FRANCISCoTMarch S. 1930-Mre. Henry E. Jones. President of the Oregon Emergency Corps and Red Cross Society My Dear Madam: Mrs. Harrington finds It necessary. In view of our almost com plete state of "bankruptcy, to appeal to tho friends of the California lied Cross throughout the country for assistance to keep our doors open for a season longer. On this coast it Is a well-known fact that California assisted In some .way every regiment passing through, asking nothing for her own men. That assistance was gladly given, and in many cases appre ciated, and Me would not now ask a return, except that each transport brings some pitiful cases, which do not come under Government, and consigned direct to us by nurses, etc, in the Philippines, or their own families elsewhere, and how can we close our work In the face of all this suf fering? If only you everybody could look Into our ofilce tho day after the ar rival of a transport, a ready, hearty re sponse would follow from all over this great, generous country. We ber of the country simply to help their sons and brothers through us. They are not Call fornlans, but that makes no difference to us. If you can further our case In any way, please do so. and receive our everlasting gratitude. Cordially yours, KATHARINE B. ELLIOTT. Assistant Secretary. By order Mrs. W. R. Harrington. Presi dent of California State Red Cross So ciety. This touching appeal for assistance was received by the president of, the Emer gency Corps and Red Cross Society of this city a few days ago, and, after delibera tion. It was decided to present the sub ject to the public through the columns of The Orcgonlan. As a society. It Is Im possible to take any action in the mat ter, as practically the work of the organ ization Is ended, and the balance In the treasury of the society, which Is by no means large. Is pledged to tho monument fund and cannot bo used for other pur poses. This money was given by the people of Oregon for this object, and therefore Is counted a sacred trust, and will be kept until It can be applied toward the erec tion of a fitting memorial for the dead of the Second Regiment of Oregon Volun teers. But this appeal from the California Red Cross Society ought not for this reason to be disregarded. On the broad ground of humanity, every Individual should feel It a personal obligation to do something, and rejoice that an opportunity Is given to assist the faithful women of San Fran cisco In their noble and disinterested work. For nearly two years they have labored for the relief of the sick and needy soldiers who have passed that way. As a state, we remember with gratitude their thoughtful attentions to the sol diers of Oregon, both going to and return ing from the Philippines, and what they did for our soldiers they did equally well for those from other states. That these unceasing demands require a large amount of money Is also well known, and the constant drain upon the treasury has been met hitherto by the people of California without a murmur. Now their society Is practically bank rupt, and for the first time asks the peo ple of the states whose soldiers have been and are still Its care, for help, that yet a little longer it may carry on this relief work. This is a work In which every state Interested should be glad to assist. Let Oregon nee to it that she does her part, and every Individual, as far as possible, contribute something towards this fund, that these sick and disabled soldiers, as they reach their home land, may receive proper care until they are able to be sent to their resictlve states. As an organization, the Emergency Corps regrets its Inability to take active steps, but every member will do her part to further the work. Donations In money, no matter how email the amount, will be thankfully re ceived, and may be sent to the secretary of tho society. Mrs. F. E. Lounsbury. 13 Seventh street, Portland. Acknowledg ments will be made through the press. Let every Individual and society come forward now and gladly help our sister state In her time of need, as she unself ishly cares for the sick and suffering sol diers of this great Nation. MRS. HENRY E. JONES. President Oregon Emergency Corps and Red Cross Society. Captain Jack and the Preacher. Klamath Falls Republican. An Interesting Incident Is related In con nection with tho execution of Captain Jack, who was one of the Indians hanged In this county for taking a leading part In tho Modoc War. The day before his death. Captain Jack was visited by a number of the clergy and asked to re ceive the ordinance of baptism and other wise prepare himself for a comfortable reception at the end of his Journey on the morrow, being told of heaven's bliss and the means to attain it. Then Jack Inquired of the divine If he were actually sure of heaven and wayto get there, to which an affirmative answer -was given, with positive assurance. Whereupon Jack replied: "As for me. I feel a trifle un certain about the matter, and you being sure, I'll make this proposition to you: You take my place tomorrow and go to that region, about which you haven't a single doubt, and In return for the fa vor Til give you all I've got 10 ponies to add to your estate. I'm not usually very particular, but In this Instance, feel ing somen hat uneasy about the result, would a little rather stay here." Confirmation Services. . At 10:50 this morning there will be con firmation services at St. Paul's German Lutheran Church, East Twelfth and Clin ton streets. Rev. August ICrauee will confirm a class of 13.
