Efftctlvc Chines? Boycott. '
"The Chinese hoyrott on Japanese
poods, however, hps nesrly p'.it an end
to Japanese sales In China. The boy
cott, which xtartel In the district of
Canton, has spread over the whole of
the China coast ports, and Is directed
Hgnins; every variety of Japanese man
ufacture I poods that were Ivlng sold In
China, and also against freight and pas
senger traffic on Japanese steamships
to every port In the world.
'As an example of the effect of this
boycott. the Nippon Yusen Kalsha
steamship Tosa Maru, which arrived at
Seattle nbout a week afro from China
and Japnn ports had only three Chinese
passengers and no China freights. In
fact, virtually no freight at all. In con
trast to this, the Canadian Pacific Rail
road steamship Monteagle. leaving
about the same time, brought freight
amounting in value to more than 11.
000, nno.
"When the Chinese institute a boycott
they do It In detail. The boycott on
Japanese goods has been more effective
than a declaration of war would have
been, for It has inflicted a blow on the
weakest spot In the Japanese armor

Aivantag-e In Ha-sts.
"I belletpe that the orient offers a
good field to Portland hardware men.
And the sooner they get In the better,
for China Is a conservative market anil
the first in the field stands the best
chance.
"I do not think there is any danger
of another boycott on American goods.
The Chinese merchants got all they
warled of that the last time. It was
the students that started the movement
and the merchants were dragged Into it
as a mater of patriotism. But the Chi
nese is a sensible man, and not even pa
triotism is going to make him try that
game again."
Portland hardware dealers are over
looking big business In not branching
Out and taking advantage of 'he oppor
tunities Hint the ml" I -ffeis them, ac
cordlm; to X. 1. Perkins, a hardware
man who has spent the past three rears
and a half In Chln.i and Japan. Ameri
can gocVs, he say- already, have a bet
ter rei.ulailon In these markets than the
manufacture cl goods of any
Hon. but what
there Is due entirely to their merits and
riot to any advertising or pushing of
them. ,
Mr Perkins spent three years in
Shanghai, and the past six months h,
spent In Japan He Is not very enthusi
astic about the latter country but be
lieves that China offers a lucrative field
for American hardware dealers, rspocl-
ally the Jobbers of PortlanJ and other
Pacific coast cities.
Trade conditions In Japan, snys Mr.
Perkins, are bad. but they are -much bet
ter in Shanghai, particularly in light
manufactured hsnlware. such as tools,
locks, eye. In heavy goods, however,
there la not much doing.
"It Beems '.3 be the general Impres
sion," says i.T. Perkins, "that Paciic
coast jobbers cannot Afford to do busi
ness In the orient on account of the fact
that freight rates from this coast are
not a favorable as from the eastern
coast, and that they cannot compete
with the transcontinental rate, which
would kill their business. I contend
that -the American hardware . trade In
the orient hasn't reached the stage that
a difference of S2 a ton less freight
from New York than from coaat porta
should exclude Pacific coast Jobbers
from . the orient.
Portland's AdTMtag-s.
"Besides, the Portland Jobbers have
the advantage over eastern dealers In
that the Portland houses generally car
ry bigger stocks. A Pacific coast Job
ber Is selling about 20 lines where the
representative of tjie eastern manufac
turer does not carry more than one or
two.
"There are four lines by which Port
land Jobbers can ship to the orient. In
stead of only one as Is generally sup
posed. They are the Portland-Alatic
line, the Nlppin Yusen Kalsha, the Ca
nadian Pacific Steamship company and
Frank Waterhouso Co. There are
onlv two direct regular lines from Xew
York, and their vessels have a much
longer run.
"China is a much better field than'
Japan and business dealings with the
Chinese are generally much more satis-

HOT OF Ml
Valuable Acreage in Frisco
Involved in Stubborn
Litigation. i
Portlanders who have visited In San
FVanclaeo remember well Sutro Park,
which ha been In litigation for years.
This tract of land Is among the finest
In the country. The Chronicle aaya:
"The heirs and executors of Adolph
Futro are Impatiently awaiting a de
cision of the miprems court which will
finally dispose of the Immerse tract of
i land comprising 1.150 acres known as
' the Sutro trust, which extends from the
Mltc of the Affiliated colleges to Inle-
slde. and has an assessed valuation of
$760,000. This property has been the
subject of lltlgutloii for the pujt 10
years, and the question to be decided by
u. e mgneat tribunal In the state is
whether the land shall become the prop
erty of the Sutro heirs or shall be
turned over to a board of trustees for
the benefit of educational Institutions,
In accordance with the provisions of the
will of Adolph 8utro.
"The Sutro will was drafted In 18R1.
At that time this great tract .of forest
land was only a small portion of a
vast estate, the principal Income-bearing
property- of Sutro then consisting
of downtown property. In the will the
forest land was bequeathed In trust
for educational uses, while the other
property was reserved for Sutro's six
children.
"Sutro diet In August, 1S9S. During
his latter years practically all th
downtown property was disposed of,
but no rhansre was mads In the pro

(WashiDgton Bureau of The Journal.)
Washington, Aug. 16. Figures Just
made public by the forest service show
that under the new law requiring 25 per
cent of the gross proceeds of national
forest business to be paid over to the
states and territories In which the for
ests are located, to be used for public
schools and roads, the last fiscal year
Will yield these states J447.063.79.
The amounts which go to each vary
from $313.68 for Arkansas to over $75,
000 for Montana. The small amount for
Arkansas Is because the two national
forests In that state were created so
recently that they have not yet got
fairly under way. Oklahoma, with one
small national forest, receives $554;
Kansas. $644, and the next smallest
after these Is Nebraska, with $2,350.
Since the forests In these laRt two
-states were set nslde from land natur
ally destitute of trees, that the govern
ment might try forest planting on them.
It will probably surprise most people
that they should yield any revenue at

Leaders In Timber Sales.
National forest business Is chiefly of
three kinds, grazing, timber sales, and
special uses, the latter comprising the
use of the lesser resources of the for
ests and the permits Involving the de
velopment of water power. It Is Inter
esting to note the states In which the
largest volume of each of these three
kinds of business is done and study
the causes which make their revenues
correspondingly larger.
Montana. California and Colorado
lead in timber sales. In the case of
Montana and California this fact Is
mainly due to the accessibility of the
timber in the national forests. Tho
fact that the timber can be readily
reached and quickly transported to mar
ket has created a heavy demand which
la reflected in tne volume of business
Colorado Is almost absolutely depend
ent upon the national forest timber
ror lis mining opt-ratlons. Each of
inese slates will receive over $50.
000 from the proceeds of the forests.
Grazing and Water Power.
Idaho, I'tah and Oregon head the
list of the states In grazing business.
The causes In the case are several. In
the first place these states are sup-
fvlfed with more abundant forage, largp
T on account of more plentiful precipi
tation. In some cases the ranges will
support a sheep to the acfc, whereas
the ranges elsewhere will often sup
port no more than one sheep to from
four to six arres Again, the grazing
methods are. as a rule, more Intensive

however, the government' has annulled

Montevideo, Uruguay, Aug. 15. News
from Antwerp confirms the report of a

000,000 francs to establish security sav
ings banks in t'ruguay and Argentina.
The object Is to secure the superior
rates of Interest obtaining in South
America over the rates In Europe.
The newspapers declare that the Brit
ish minister of foreign relations has di
rected the British ministers at Buenos
Avres and Montevideo to notify the gov
ernments to which they are accredited
that the British government considers
the Rio Plata In equal condition with
the high seas and neutral up to a line
three miles from either const. It Is be
lieved that this notice will quiet the un
fortunate dispute between this country
and Argentina. In which both nations
have claimed .jurisdiction over the Plata
to the middle, though It is 34 miles wide
at Buenos Ayres and 63 mllea at this
city.
The government has Just asked from
congress $500,000 to purchase cannon
for coat defense.
El Dia, the official organ of this gov
ernment, expresses a hope that the new
minister. Plaza, from Argentina, may be
able to reestablish cordial relations be
tween the two countries, which have
lately been drifting apart, and recalls
that when Italy threatened to bombard

Have many advantages over the old thick, cumbersome, ordinary rubber plates, and even over gold plates, being much lighter and
thinner.' These plates are flexible, only a trifle thicker than heavy writing paper, fit closer and adhere better to the roof of the
