its limits lie Australia on tho tooth-

India on tho eoulhweht and China on
the northwest. It comprises n rc of
over 17,000,OW fiinare mile?, with a r
ultliuu in excees of $30,000,000.
This enorniciia comineri.il territory
is as yet u undeveloped stte, a lact

China are less than 40 cents per capita.
Tue ability of this trade ti develop is
wel. ehwu ... l tie case of Jap.tn, which
few years, ago had virtually no im
ports, unt which have uow grown to
such an extent that annually each rxnu
woman and child wearj or employs M
worth each year of foreign cress goods,
provisions or ai titles of manufacture.
Of tbe billion dollar' worth id toads

consumed 117,000,000; Japan 13,000,

East Indies 2,000.000. These figutes,
however, do not express the wonderful
eti ides made by the United States iu
this area. In ISM they amounted to on
lp 27,421, OW, an increase iu five years
of $3i,40a.C00.
This yaH trade will gravitnte to the
common cente. at Manila to a great
extent, jast as the English trade of the
far East bas found a trade centr at
Hone Kong. Manila thus in a few
years is destined to become one of the
greatest marts of trade in the 1 aciuc.
SOME WORTHY APPROPRIATIONS.
The Journal has never beard the hon
est claim of A9blaud aud L'raiu to an
appropriation for their well establsihed
normal schools called in question. The
small sums aeked by the representatives
from Jackson and Douglas counties for
their respective institutions, are j-iat as
worthv as Monmouth and Weetou and
jist as much needed by tbe pecple of
this state. Oregon school laws make no
proyision for public high school?. Hut
fuw are to be found in the etste and they
are supported by local taxes.
Tbe only institutions of higher educa
tion are tho tbe state university and ag
ricultural college tbat get state support,
'I he normal schools are attended by the
children tbe sons and daughters of (be
farmers and common people of Oregon
who would never go to the uuivereity
and are not interested in the special
courses taught at tbe farinere's college,
lluudreda of young men and women go
to the normal schools who would other
wise never get a particle of education
above tbe country district school.
There are those who w ill say : Oregon
wants no high eohools. Let the young
people go without normal school train
ing unless tbey can pay for it themselves
at chartered colleges. It is safe to say
tbat for every dollar tbe state pays out
for a normal school, ths students wbo
attend pay out five dollars and tbe state
gets ten dollars of u better man or wom
an, a citizen with a l.ttle broader out
look on life, better qualified to assume
tbe duties ol the heaa oi a lamiiy, and a
more intelligent and patriotic citizen.
Not half the normal school students may
ever teach school, but tbey will bo tbat
much better fitted to educate their own
children. Oregon is rich in material
wealth, producing more dollars per cap
ita each year than Buy state iu the un
ion. Does any one pretend tbat we are
doing too much for public education?
Tne keenest disappointment tbat comes
to a citizen coming from other state to
live in Oregon is when be realizes tbe
backwardness of our public school sys
tem. Our wealth of public school lauds bas
beeu recklessly squandered. Our school
funds have been loaned out to politicians
who pay neither principal or interest,
We keep men quartered on the btate
education" I pay rolls a) salaries five
times what they uro worth. Wo fasten
a blooiI-Bii kint; t;xt -loik trust on the
people with an iron clad contract. Not
fifty per cent of our children of school
ae are in the puhlic schools. Then we

hare no doubt but tbat be will eventual

Oregon lias 6n tie red a terrible blow,
through the failure of appropriations to
continue tbe work of improving her
rivers and harbors. Never perhaps, in
tbe history of the state, havo the condi
tions been so discouraging as now. Not
only has congress fa-led to appropriate
money to continue work already begun,
but laws heretofore enacted making ap
propriations for needed wo'k have been
repealed. Thelawwhijh Biuger Her
mann succeeded in getting through con
grese, before his retirment from the
bouse, which provided for a million
dollar contract for the improvement of
Yaquioa Bay, has been entirely re
pealed, aud nothing enacted in its plaie.
Tbe 54:h congress, the last congress ol
which Mr. Hermann wai a member, pro
vided for the expenditure of l.O-S.ClO.
Tbe present appropriations amount to
less than one-tenth of those of the 54th
congress, lnese are oant'ei and the
laws repealed that authorized them:
Yaquina, l, 000.000; Tort Orford, 2C0,-
000: for boat railway at The Dalles,
130.000.
Coos Bay, tbe 1 ascavJe canal, biutlaw,
Umpqua, Coos river, Aleea, Nestncca,
the WilUmette aud Yamlill, Tcnzue
Point to Astoria, all these are ignored.
The Ship Railway law which had for its
object tbe construction of a ship railway
around the obstructions to navigation in
the Columbia rWir at The Dalles, has
also been repealed and not another dol
lars is to be appropriated for this pur
pose. Coos Day has been entirely left
out of the appropriation bill end not a
dollar ia to be had for continuing tbe
wotk at that point. Not onlv is the
work at Coos Bay to fatop, but the im
proretnents already completed and un
derway, and which have already ccet the
government about one million dollars,
will be left without the nececsary funds
to complete and protect them and muEt
inevitably be more or less damaged by
reason of their unprotected and unfin
ished condition. Sinslaw Harbor has
a' jo been abandoned in tbe bill, in fact
not a dollar has Dees appropriated (for
this point since Mr. Hermann, secured
his last appropriati"-; of fJo.OOO for the
work there, previot J to which be had
fecuieJ a nan.ber of appropriations for
tbat point. In fact, Siu-law valley, s
a settlement, owes its existence to the
River and Harbor appropriations se
cured by Mr. Hermann and which have
now been abandoned. This in brief, is
tbe condition in which Oregon finds her
self according to tbe terms of tbe river
and harbor bill which has passed tbe
bouse of representatives and is now be'
fore tbe senate. What its file will be
befcre tbat body is a matter of conject
ure. The rivers and haibora of Oregon
lost their best friend, when Dinger Her
mann retired from congress and left
Oregon, without a re ptesentative on the
river an harbor committee. We have
no dispositi'.n to disparage the ability or
worth of coogres man Tongue, but it will
probably be a long timi bifora Oregon
ajaln has a representation cn tbat com
mittee and especially one ttandinj so
near tbe head of the committee and
wielding the influence that Binger Her
mann did.

LEGISLATIVE CORRESPONDENCE.
An Interesting Letter From Our

Only a few davs of the res'ihr sjiii on

left for (ha legislature to dispose o',
tboajh this has beiu a b'Jsy week a id
a great deal of tha accumulated business
reached final action.
Mr. Conn, of Doahs cjunty, reached
his Eeat iu ths hou:e f r the first time
this session, this morning. He lookB
little bleached out; but thinks be will be
able to hold out for the balance o? the
session. Douglas county bad a well
Cleaning delegation in tho ho urn-, but
they !aror ucdsr come disadvantages
Tbey belong t j the niiucrtty, and tue
opposition which is dicta el by the
policies of the party to which they owe
allegiance bree Is corresponding oppiai
tion from other quarters, thus retarding
their usefulness. Not one of the three
is a good talker, or bas a voice that can
bs heard throughout tho chamber, nn
other fact that curtails their intl J -nco.
Douglas county's importance entitles
her to a leading place in the legislature
and her representatives should he men
of the ability and force that would keep
ber in tbat position,
(senator I-ooney'd pure food b
which is important to the dairy iuturefcU
of Douglas and Coos counties, pa-sed (he
senate yesterday almost unanimously
and will very likely pass the house. It
is the best law for the protection of
O'-on dairy products that has jet ap
;red. Senator Used give it bU cjru
t.; support after assisting in its prepara
tion and having incorporated all neces
sary safegnrds.
The bill changing the nam a of (he
Drain Normal school to the Central Ore
gon Normal school and appropriating
7,o00 for its support, passed tin liouro
yesterday with u (info inajjriiy un I is
favorably regarded in the Boriuto. Such
bills, as a general rule, are not popular
this session, but (hero is a decided fuel
