labor la not present and manufacturing
conditions are not found. In such abund
ance and strength, that they can for
many decades successfully compete
with corresponding conditions In the
United States, and yet, whre,,becauee
of. the investment of capital, the
lotuaene-f ntoams and ine gradual
Increase of population, the demand la
growing apace. '-.
"On ' account of the eventful . open
ing of the Panama canal, with the great
advantages it will give to the exporters
of the Atlantic and Gulf ports, it is
high time that the Pacific coast ex
porters should try to secure such a, pri
mary hold on the field that when the
canal la ftnttihed they will., be able to
continue . supplying these Important
markets In successful competition with
the former. The next ten years, which
will be Tequlred to complete tha canal,
should, be 'dedicated by Oregon, Cali
fornia and Washington to preparing for
the inevitable, struggle.: of the future.
By this auggestlon I say nothing
against the canal which will in other
ways so benefit this coast, by its com
munication with the Atlantic and Gulf
states, in generally developing and
quickening Central and South America

railroads or introduced millions of capi

was one who by character, force of in

himself a conspicuous figure in this and

Barrett Kaxss Address.
Short addresses were made by W. W.
Cotton, II. M. Coke and Dr. Henry Waldo
Coe, all euloglstlo of the honored guest.
Mr. Barrett made, the speech of the
evening. He apoke at length on various
subjects, personal and general. His
summing up of the Pacific coast trade
situation was as follows: .
- "Klrat snd foremost, of the needs of
the Columbia river and Puget sound
country, is a first-class regular, ireight
sleamli!p line running; bet ween Port
land. Seattle and Tacoma on the one
hand, and the paclflo port of Central
and South America as far south as
Valparaiso on the other. A monthly
service in. the "beginning, to be made bi
weekly as trade developed, should be
established, and ought to pay from the
date of the first' galling. The vessels
. of such a lino would respectively carry
to Latin America cargoes of the ex
ports and return with the Imports which
I have already nsmed and soon develop
a business that would rival that with
' the orient.
"We should realise that Latin Ameri
can market la particularly our own
- without danger either of international
complications over grave questions of
' emigration and racial differences or of
manufacturing and productive compe
tition caused by cheap labor and vast
population. With enthusiasm rather
. than hesitation should we make a
peaceful conquest of this golden oppor
tunity whloh we have hitherto neg
lected In the race for the trade of Asia
and the Klondike, .
' . importance of West Coast. . .
"Appreciating that our market In
Asia for flour and our other chief ex
port may soon be cut off by the sup
ply of, flour furnished by the wheat
fields and mills of Manchuria, and by
the varied output of the manufactories
of Japan end China, we must prepare
for the future by exploiting the west
coast of Latin America, where wheat
does not grow, timber does not exist.
railway monopoly that it will prove an
undoubted blessing to all the United
States. -
Improve the Columbia. ,s ,.
"While spending millions upon mil
lions to build this gigantic Interoceanlo
waterway-and to construct a magnifi
cent navy, our government should spend
a proportionate sum in the lmprove-
mTjiXUeviJoeat-e4-ewr great-waterways, like the
COiuraDie river, so mat ine largest sea
going vessels which may be necessary
to develop our foreign trade can come
end go to and from Portland without
fear of bars or shifting, channels. If
$5,000,000 were spent by the United
States government during the next ten
years on the Columbia and Willamette
rivers the Increased commerce resulting
would be ten times that sum. besides
paying generous interest on the Invest
ment. - .
"In the wonderful progress .of Port
land and prosperity of Oregon we must
devote a greater portion- of our energy
and capital to the development of man
ufacturing Industries of all kinds.
"The business Interests and commer
cial organizations of the Paclflo north
wee t. like the chambers of commerce,
boards of trade and clubs like yours,
must get Into close tpucb with the In
ternational Bureau of American Repub
lic, which already baa a wealth of data
and Information regarding the possi
bilities of Initio American markets, and
which, under the plan of reorganisation,
enlargement end extension, will become
the most powerful agency In the United
States for the upbuilding of closer re
lations of commerce and friendship be
tween the 21 republics of the American
hemisphere. If. as now seems probable,
I shall assume, by the unanimous re
quest of these governments, the di
rectorship of this bureau under the new
order of things, you can count upon my
devoted assistance In extending your
trade, and I shall In turn, depend upon
youn hearty -cooperation end good will
for the successful future of this Inter
national institution."

ffl BY HELEN HAWTHORNS
. A Girl Craftsman. .
There ha come to my notice an ac
count of hard work -of a very brilliant
and able young woman who ha won
an enviable place in the word by means
of her achievements In the line of ap
plied art. She le Edna Browning Ruby,
and her home ta In Indiana, where she
wa educated in the publlo school. A
bright, energetlo and - 'sweet-tempered
child, she wa a great favorite. Her
musical taste wa marked, and she
played the flute so well that she was
called on when a mere child to aid in
local entertainments.
Her great talent however, was for
drawing. She studied art in Chicago
and Philadelphia, and at once entered
the rield of textile designing. Here she
met some opposition, of course, for ehe
wa so young and girlish that men who
had spent their lifetime In preparation
for their work could hot believe in her
ability to compete with them. ..
She studied the mechanical aide of
J?tT-Qrk..as well as . the artlatlcand
her designs are not mere picturesbut
practical working models. . Now she ha
all that she can do, and ha won success
and distinguished honors. She exhibits
with all our notable American artists
and also abroad, and recolved first men
tion and the gold medal at the exhibit
of the designer in London and also
honorable mention for a paper. on "Tex
tile Designing" presented at a conven
tion in that city.
Her work commands the' same price
that that of men receive, and she designs
for firm In the large cities and abroad.
Socially she la said to be charming,
sensible and unassuming, and no one
wonM imagine, on first meeting her that
such store of imagination, talent and
success I contained in the petite body.
Mere Is an Inspiration for American
girlhood, for while her Innate talent I
great, without earnest application and
oonsclentlou study, she could not have
attained the mastery of her art and
the high position she hold In the world
of craftsmen.
t t
The Homemaker's Creed.
From the American of Home Economics.
We believe
That right living should be the fourth
"R" in education.
That home-making should be regarded
as a profession.
That health Is more the business of
the Individual than of the physislaiLJL
That most Illness result from care
lessness, ignorance or .intemperance of
some kind.
That aa many live are cut short by
unhealthful food and diet as through
strong drink.
That the upbringing of children de
mands as much study as the raising
of cattle. . .
That on the home foundation la built
all that la good In state or Individual.
That the spending money is as im
portant as the earning of the money.
That economy does not mean spend
ing a small amount, but In getting the
largest returns for the money expended.
That the home-maker should be as
alert to make progress In her life-work
a the bualnesa or professional man.
That the most profitable, the most
interesting study for women Is the
home, for la it center all the Issues of
life.
That tha study of home problem may
be made of no lee cultural value-than
the study of history or literature and of
much- more immediate value.
t
. Concerning Dolls.
From McCall's Magaxine
A doll Is perhaps the most ancient
of all toys, and Its Invention In crude
forms Is a old almost a the history
of man. - But at present four nations
have the lucrative honor-of furnishing
the doll for-little girl all. over the
world. The United State manufac
tures a few doll lor It own market.
England produce the wax doll, Ger
many the sawdust-stuffed leather doll,
with a head of porcelain, and France
ha tha Jointed baby. Invented in 1M2
Before this comparatively recent period.
France did not contribute much to the
International doll market. Her dolls
were, nevertheless, celebrated through'
out the entire world, but they were fash
ionable dolls, or dolls for grown-up
ladles. Sometime perhaps in our trav
el through Pari we may have noticed
tiny glass showcases which serve as the
signs of dressmakers. In these little
cases there are manlkens dressed with
the greatest possible care In the femi
nine fashion of the day. They are
specimens of the costume offered by
the dressmakers to their customer.
The elegance and dtall of these lllllpu
tlan toilettes, in whloh there I not a
single point missing, have often been
admired. There the little lady stands
In her rather stiff but proud attitude,
the sphinx of fashion.
With every export of ladles' apnarel
the merchant sent on of those little
dolls, and the precaution was never an
unwise one. An example of Its utility
wa furnished 'in Calcutta. The first
cloaks that .were sent there, of a very
light texture, considering the climate.
