Y. -A v. Th rrr rm rTTi iTh r Mm, mi" it Designed by Architect David C. Lewis. The Laboratory of Political Experiment PORTLAND, Feb. 20- (To the Editor.) Referring to your comment upon the large National debt of New Zealand known i.ow as "the -laboratory of political experi ments" where I spent 10 months and made a report thereof to the authorities at Washington, permit me to explain Its condition and trade and commerce -with the United States. "While its debt is not bo large as is generally believed, that debt was caused by the present ownership of public works, the railways, telegraph and telephone lines in the state, docks, etc., and metropolitan transporta'tlon, which are all productive and interest bearing properties today. I found New Zealand practically a re public, often more so than portions of the United States, with all its officers (except Judges) elected by the people, and a Cabinet and Premier In power chosen "of the people and for the people," free of British laws and controL Great Britain has but one representative therein the Governor of Nov. Zealand, -whoso salary the people also pay. Its citizens are com posed of 50 per cent Scotch, and their children born In New Zealand; 30 per cent English born, 15 per cent of Irish birth, with not more than 4 per cent of other Europeans, only 2S16 Chinese, -who pay a tax ot $500 each upon arrival. It is ad mitted that of all the English-speaking countries, "Now Zealand possesses the most select, practical, moral and law abiding people, who consider themselves far superior to the mother country in everything that constitutes progress and develoyment, yet, strange to say, they are loyal to King Edward as are his London subjects. Although well-to-do people, there are ro millionaires and ihere is no socialism. "What then is tho cause of their excessive .state debt, and what really Is Ttfelr State Treasurer certifies that It 'was &i.Sdi.Q&4 but after deducting a slnk- lng fund deposited in London of $5,994,0S0, the net debt was $231,810,016. How was this large sum disbursed? Por railways, the 2235 miles the state owns today, cost $39,680 per mile, or $89,100,000, which in cludes $5000 per mile for rolling stock, so that the net cost of the roadbeds, com pleted, average $34,680 per mile, Including ballasting, very much less than the In debtedness of the "big" roads in the United States. In addition. New Zealand spent during tho year 1901, $6,444,360 on un completed railway grades. These railways pay the state a net revenue of 3& per cent of not earnings yearly, and sometimes 4 per cent. The gross rovenuo was $1203 per mile, and the operating expenses and bet terments GO per cent of gross earnings. Here, then. Is a lesson for the'jrovornment operation of railways which New Zealand has taught us, after her ownership of 20 years. If the merger decision In tho Northern. Securities Company's case should be against the people in tho United States Supreme Court, tho only relief left soems for tho people of America to own Its own railroads. New Zealand did not start tho business of railroading on the state's own account. It was driven to this long ago by tho exorbitant freight and passenger rates railway corporations charged the people, and has also acquired now (1904) every mile of railway in New Zealand, except S8 miles of short lines opera tod In con nection with manufacturing projects and coal sidetracks. Thereafter tho state ac quired and built all of the telegraph and telephone lines and has 21,703 miles of wire with 4.167.9SO telegrams annually transmit ted, which yielded the state or colony a not revenue of $1,010,525 for 1902. Again, finding that Its farming popula tion was unable to pay the excesslvo rates of Interest charged by money-lenders in New Zealand, the legislature resolved to "cut" interest rates, and went into the mortgage farm loan business, for which purpose it borrowed in London on the state's indebtedness $15,000,000 at 3 per cent, duo 1945. It has loaned out on "ad vances to settlers" (as it calls them) on farm loans SU.SOO.000, and Its curious fea ture is that the state only charges tho borrower 4 per cent if he selects the 30 years installment plan of repayment, while if tho borrower prefers a straight loan under 10 years ho pays 4 per cent Interest. Already tho state has made a surplus profit reinvested, of $380,000 per year from this source. Its advances do -not exceed three-fifths of the s?curlty ap praised. So. with banking- facilities, tho government obtained from the Roths childs $10,000,000 secured to the state by preferred stock of the Bank of New Zea land, which has 130 or more branches In the colony. The government, through the banks, advances on all produce, wool, butter, cheese, frozen meat, skins, tallow, grain, etc., about S3 per cent of tho value in London: has inspectors at each port of shipment for New Zealand to ex amine same before placed on board ship: and no butter pf any kind must leave the colony for foreign countries unless with a brand Issued by the government and a certificate from the Inspector that It has complied with tho law. So. at the port of arrival if the butter or the frozen meat Is tainted, it Is by the state's Inspector' viumped into the sea. With sheep It is the same. Inspectors examine them alive while on the grass and ir the breed Is bad they are condemned at once. Again, in the sale of government land to new 'settlers no cash Is asked. The purchaser gets a deed from the state la perpetuity to the land, and he and his heirs guarantee simply to pay 4 per cent interest yearly to the government in all time coming. It bought with a cash pay ment, one-fifth or one-third down, the government gives 10 or 15 or SO years to repay the balance, but in that case charges 5 per cent interest on the deferred payments. In order to enable the settlers to utilise Immediately the lands bought from the state the government agrees to make first-class macadam wagon roada to these public lands, whenever a sufficient number of settlers is obtained, and to pre vent the people being taxed yearly to pay for such wagon roads the state borrows money in England to construct these roads, repayable within 50 years. The sum already borrowed for roads is $11,000,000. There is only one drawback' to this that whlo the state sees that the new settler gets first-class macadamized roads to his home, yet It is unable to cope with the gradually Increasing demand for branch railways to carry away the produce raided, because the state Is already bur dened with a $20,000,000 Indebtedness for railways. As a necessary result the farm er even with state first-class wagon roads, has frequently a long haul to get to the 3365 miles of railway the state already owns and operates. To ameliorate this evil the state has within the last eight years purchased from private owners of large tracts alongside or near to railways many large estates by arbitration values, compelling the owners to sell to the state such vacant lands at 10 per cent above the true valuation, and the state pays cash therefor. It Immediately surveys and re surveys these estates Into 80 and 160-acre tracts and sells them to settlers on 30 years' time or less by the installment plan, again borrowing from Groat Britain the money to purchase such large estates on 50 years state bonds or debentures, at 3 to VA per cent interest, with sinking redemption funds. But so far as we in the United States are concerned tho great question Is, what does our republic financially gain from New Zealand? I answer, an increasing trade and commerce shown as follows: The two great ports of shipment and for importation of goods are Auckland City (population proper, without suburbs, 34, 213) and Wellington City, the capital of the state (population, without suburbs, 43,638, per census returns of 1001). Auck land shipped oxports in 1900 to the value of $10,39,1,505, while "Wellington shipped the same year much more, or $11,726,975. to all foreign ports. The United States Is ably represented at Auckland by our energetic Consul General Frank Dillingham, a brother of United States Senator Dilling ham, but unfortunately "Wellington is still a consular agency under a Brit ish subject. Congress having made no provision for an American consular officer there. Together the ports shipped to and imported from the United States a total trade of $4,379,630 in 1S92, but have since increased enormously and for the year ending January L 1902, the total trade with the United States was $9,97LC95. or an increase of 120 per cent In eight years. I find this development surprises our people of the Pacific states, especially as their trade with New Zealand has since 1SS2 increased 400 per cent alone to the year 190L Surely this is encouraging to Oregon and Washington, especially as the Pacific states exports to New Zea land are mostly manufactured goods and now greatly exceed the imports from that colony. In several communications I have had during the last two and one-half years from the premier of New Zealand, (who visited Portland and the "Willamette Val ley three years ago), he has impressed upon mo the necessity of the North Pa cific railways jointly putting on a month ly steamship line between the Columbia River and New Zealand. "Whether they will do so, as I have represented to the presidents of the Northern lines, is a problem of the future. I regret that I cannot find time to ex plain In detail further information 1 possess upon this interesting colony or state New Zealand but-' with a premier, Hon. R. S. Seddon, and a cabinet already ten years in power, who have Inaugurated such vast changes therein and are very friendly to mutual intercourse and trade with the Pacific states of America. I am hopeful of vast gains to accrue to Oregon therefrom if a direct steamship Una can only be established. We must remember the fact that with its population of undei one million persons (Including 41.000 Maori), trade In the future of one resident of New Zealand is equal to the trade from 250 residents Of China. This is exempli fied by Groat Britain's trade with British India and Ceylon. Great Britain's exports thereto was $159,000,000. while the trade of New Zealand for the same year was $120. 219.3S0, of which the United States received $9,971,655. WILLIAM REID. HISTORY OF SABBATH. When Established, and Why Should Be Observed. It GRANT'S PASS, Or., Feb. IS. (To tho Editor.) In commenting on your proposi tion to keep the 1905 Exposition open on Sunday, the editor of the Pacific Christian Advocate refers to the day as the "Amer ican Sabbath, an institution established under divine direction." While I have no special Interest in the opening or the closing of the gates on Sunday, I do have a common interest in the cause of Justice and historical truth. I believe that the Advocate's editor means well, but he has certainly read history and jurisprudence to very little purpose. There is no American Sabbath. Somo of the American people observe the first day of the week as a Sabbath, some ob serve the seventh, while a large majority observe no day. The seventh-day Sabbath was Instituted by Moses for the Jews, and under divine authority. The first-day Sab bath was instituted by the Emperor Con stantlne, and by Ms own authority. This is tho simple history of the Sabbath, and a thousand volumes could not make It plainer. The Christian under no obli gations to keep any day as a Sabbath. It is his privilege, however, to keep any day that suits him. and no man has a right to interfere with this privilege. Our Constitution forbids any meddling with religious matters. We already have laws that protect us in the exerclso of our religious duties, and that Is enough. If the first-day Sab bath people are permitted to enforce the observance of their day by civil law. then wo should, In justice to all, permit the seventh-day Sabbath people to do the same. I am a Christian and observe the first day of the week as a day of special worship, but not as a Sabbath. If our conduct as Christians la not sufficient to induce our neighbors to join us In worship, then we should "be ashamed to make uso of any other means The truth is we are doing so little to better the con ditions of the people that we havo about lost our Influence. If tho Exposition directors defer to one class of Sabbatarians, they should defer to all. Jews, Adventists. Mohammedans and Catholics should betreated alike. The moral tone of the people, however, will not be affected by either closing or open ing the gates on Sunday. A man may bo moral and work every Sunday In the year, and he may be Immoral and keep all of the Sabbaths. The Sabbath question should be dis cussed strictly from a hygtenio standpoint. If the health and happiness of the people require that they should have more rest, then they should have It. STEPHEN JEW KM. KAISER WILL YET MAKE TRIP.

Many at Work Making "Unrefill able" BottIes. An inventive genius residing- in a country town in Washington "writes to Tho. Oregonian to inquire about an ar ticle -which ho says he saw in this paper about, seven years ago, concerning- what he calls "a unrentable botle." Ho has sinco seen a good many patents issued on the samo kind of bot tle and has now invented one himself, but before spending any money on a patent would like to know where ho can find out some more about the one described in the article mentioned. There have been so many articles published In The Oregonian during tho past seven years that no one connected with tho paper can remember them all, and even the person who wrote the ar ticle mentioned has forgotten about It. To one ndt versed In the scienco of bottle-making and using, it might nat urally occur that it would be a waste of time and ingenuity to invent an un refutable bottle, as onco emptied it would be useless and its purpose, would be answered by an ordinary bottle"w!th a hole punched in the bottom. On investigation, however, this proves to be not tho case and there is a demand for an "unrefillable bottle," which has for years been the dream and the despair of Inventors, hundreds' having- been . Invented and patented, none of which havo ever come- Into general use for one reason or another. Manufacturers of ' liquors, perfumes or sauces, which have attained a world wide reputation and -which are imi tated or the ori&lnal bottles of which are refilled by baso or inferior articles', which are thus disposed of as genuine, long for a practical unrefillable bottle to 'protect their goods. Everybody, of course, knows that there is no bad whisky, but some kinds are better than others, and many per sons will have come across a bottlo bearing tho label of a superior kind of whisky or sauce, the contents of which when tasted show that they ara an inferior article or fraudulent Imita tion. It is alleged that a number of really unrefillable bottles have been Invented but that their cost has been so great as to render their use prohibitory. A common whisky bottle costs, say 5 cents. Tho manufacturer of a -very celebrated brand of whisky could af ford to pay 7VJ cents for an unreflllabla bottle on account of the protection it would offer his product, but a bottle that costs 10 or 15 cents would con sume all the profits and more, too, and. as the really unrefillable bottles so far invented have cost from 10 to 15 cents to manufacture, they were prohibitive or impracticable, and so have never come Into use. Any one who will give the matter a moment's thought can readily see that it Is not an easy thing to make a bot tlo which can bd filled once and emptied and cannot bo filled again. This Is, however, hardly a fair statement of tho matter, as all these Inventors con template the refilling of the bottle by the use of a new "cap" or patented ap paratus. Most people, however, will bo of opinion that any bottle once filled can by some means bo refilled when emptied or partially emptied. In tho course ot inquiries made con-, cerning unrefillable bottles a reporter discovered a business man of this city who has recently Invented one. and has secured a patent on it. which ho thinks Is tho long-sought practicable one which will come into general use and will "fill tho bill," as he says ho can furnish them for 7 cents each, which is Inside the prohibitory price limit. He freely exhibits the drawings of his "cap" and a working model, but does not desire to have his name made public, as this would subject Aim to an endless annoyanco from wie curious and Inquisitive. He is aware that the purchasers of his Invention, if a suc cess, will be very few and far apart, but they will buy on a largo scale. SHOULD BE OUTLAWED. Big Price Should Be Placed on Head of Cougar. SILVERTON, Or., Feb. 18. (To tho Edi tor.) A party of prospectors having just returned from the Abiqua basin, about 25 miles southeast of Sllverton, reports having seen the tracks of about 20 or 25 deer, and the tracks of three cougars, which were supposed to be chasing the deer. Among them one track seemed an unusually large one. the others being medium sized. These brutes are very plentiful this year in the foothill country and cannot be hunted successfully except with dogs, there being little snow on the west side of the range to help the still hunter In Winter, and the timber is so thick that it Is almost Impossible to lo cate the animal without the use of dogs. Cougar hunting with dogs is a legitimate srfort and should be encouraged by put ting a price on the heads of the brutes, so that moro of them would be wiped out. When It Is known that It takes about 100 deer to keep a single cougar In meat for a single year, the reason for encour aging the killing of them is plain. There is no use In keeping the human hunter out of the woods when the cougar has no closed season and no limit as to the sex or size of his kill, and in addition does not eat more than onco from the same carcass, unless he is too old and slow to be sure of his own power. In a heavily timbered country like our Coast ranges It is no trick at all for one of these big cats to ambush a deer and drop down on him from a log or rock beside the" trail, and no deer ever escapes after the cou gar gets a grip on him. It Is all. over In a moment and the country is short ono more deer. The cougar does not fill any sphere of usefulness, for even his pelt Is worthless for nine or ten mdnths In tho year, and good for little for the other three months. He destroys more deer thanall the hunt ers ever did, and ho should be made a legal outlaw, with a high enough price put on his head to send men and dogs into the woods to exterminate him. If this could be done it would bo surprising to see the Increase in the deer herds in five years. Figure It out for yourself: ever ten cougars that live in the woods for a year mean 1000 less deer for the year. Think of it! And the worst of It is that there are several times ten cou gars In each of the foothill and moun tain counties along the Cascade Rango of mountains. This Is a matter of interest to not, only sportsmen but every man who cares any thing about the preservation of our deer herds. Tet wo let it go on and do not offer a bounty sufficient to send hunters and dogs into the woods to wipe out these useless brutes. J. N. W. DRAWINGS NOT QUITE READY Bids for Constructing Fair Buildings Will Be Made Next Week. Tho Issuance of a call for construction bids for the Lewis and Clark Exposition buildings will not be made until next week. At yesterday's meeting of the State Commission tho work of examining the plans and specifications for final approval had to be delayed owing to tho fact that all the drawings were not fully com pleted. In order to expedite matters as much as possible it was directed that the build ing committee, composed ot Commission ers J. H. Albert, R.

Western Oregon and Western Washington SORES F IR ATI !T A ATI OLD ULCERS ABSCESSES There is no better evidence of a bad condition of the blood and uiibealtiiy state of the system than a sore that won't heal, or a festering, discharging Ulcer or Abscess. There are many ways by "which the blood may become contaminated and poisoned. A long spell of malarial fever or other debflitating sickness, the citc&iivc use ui mercury m certain aiseases, inactive Kidneys ana torpid liver, exposure and lack of nourishing food, weaken the constitution and canse the system to become congested with impurities which are taken np by the blood, and wherever the flesh is bruised or scratched a festering sore or discharging ulcer begins. A boil or blister, pimple or burn often develops into a frightful looking sore because of the unhealthy condition of the blood, and the place will continue to grow and spread, finally rea cuing- tne oones ana causing tnem to aecay unless the blood is purged and purified and the system thor oughly cleansed of all morbid and unhealthy accumu lations' This cannot be done with washes, salves and soaps, which only afford temporary relief. Such things neither make the blood any purer .nor the system any cleaner, and to depend upon them alone is suicidal and senseless. The sore or ulcer is only a symptom, an outlet for the poisons circulating in the blood, and as long as it remains impure the sore will never heal. It may scab over and appear to be getting well, but a fresh outpour of matter from the diseased blood starts it again, 'and thus it goes on, sometimes for years, slowly sapping away the Hfe of the patient. The only way to get rid of these disgusting evi dences of impure blood is to remove the cause by purifying the polluted blood, and nothing does this so surely and effectively as S. S. S. It drives out of the circulation impurities and germs of every kind; and under the tonic effect of this great remedy the general health rapidly recuperates and broken-down constitu tions are built up and strength and vigor are restored to all parts of the system. When S. S. S. gets into the circulation, impurities that have been clogging the blood and causing the old sore or ulcer, are driven out through the natural channels of the body, and the place begins to heal, the discharge gradually ceases, new flesh forms and smooth, healthy skin hides all signs of the painful, sickening sore. o. t. o. is an entirely vegetaDie remeay, containing both purifying and tonic properties, making it the ideal medicine where the blood is out of order and the health undermined by. some previous ailment resulting in chronic sores, ulcers, boils or abscesses. A sore that does not heal promptly, no matter how small, will bear watching. It is a sure indication of bad' blood, and may develop into something far more serious than a common ulcer. It may be Cancer. Through, our medical department we are rendering valuable help to those afflicted with sores and ulcers of various kinds. Write us, and our physicians will advise you without charge. THE SWMTf SPECIFIC GOMPAMY, ATLANTA, GA Kenton, Ohio, Ang. 2a, 1903.. Soma eight years ago a small blisrtar appeared on. my nppor lip.
