Washington, July 81. Recent tariff discussions which include the rate of duty, on- articles almost - unknown ry name to me general punio nave mum . trated the breadth of scope of the. com morce of the United States. The. faot that the world is ransacked, for articles to contribute to. the wants of the Amer- -dunera and manufacturers in turn bud rly to all Darts of the world .' articles which are In . many Instances not oon-v sldefed by the- general public as entering- international trade, is sharply point ed out ty tnese aisoussions ana ui w outrle which crow out of them. " The great variety of the articles formina-the trade of the United Slates with other countries is illustrated mere clearly by the bureau ot, statistics ng ures of imports than those of exports, due to the fact that Its import record is necessarily stated la terms of the tar Iff law. The fact that the tariff places varvinr rates of duty- unon different articles, aud that the bureau of statis tics must state tne quantity ji possiDte mil h vu.lt! a In all cases of each of the articles or class of articles upon which a separate rate of duty-is named requires that bureau to differentiate much more closely in Its statement of imports than that of exports. As a re sult its statement of articles and grades of articles Imported contains A student of this statement. Import for Consumption," as issued by the bu reau of statistics and constantly con sulted by statesmen in preparing and discussing and acting upon the pending tariff bilt shows many curious facts re garding articles included in the import .W TTmUA amm-.. -Wild.- Animals -Imported. Wlld'animals, f of example, Imported for aoological exhibition and scientific and educational purposes, which are permitted to-wtter f ree of duty because of thelft prospective use for educational and scientific purposes, amounted In 1908 to between $6000 and 17000, while those imported for other purposes evi dently exceeded this sum by far, since the group, "All Other Animals," aside from cattle, horses, mules, sheep, swine,' animals for breeding purposes, and teams of immigrants, still shows a val ue of over $100,000, - r ' Birds imported in 1908 amounted to over $300,006 in value, and while they are not specifically enumerated as to Varieties,' It is presumed that this group Is largely composed of canaries and parrots. , ' Leeches are also- enumerated by the bureau of statistics under Its general head of animals imported, the total val ue of the Imports of this species in J08 having been 15341. in 1907 $699$. In 1908 84494. in 1905 $3883, in 1904 $3889rln 1908 f 80, andriw 138 $2lt the commerce In leeches being thus of a ? rowing character. The total value of he leeches imported Into the United States in the decade ending with 190S Is about 140,000. Leeches, it may be added, are Import ed! free of duty. Snails were at one time enumerated as lan article of im portation, tne records from 1894 to 1898 showing snails imported to the extent of about $5000; but the snail trade so dwindled, showing only $24 of imports In 1898, that the bureau discontinued Its statements of this article. . . . "Dtvi-dlvr as an article of importa tion has been the subject of many Jests by the humorists during the tariff dis cussions of congress, though in fact it Is an article of no Inconsiderable Impor tance In the tanning industry, the prod uct of a leguminous tree in the west Indlesi and South America, entering in the form of a pod, and amounting In quantity in 1908 to 134,000 pounds, val ued at between $2000 and $3000. The value of the imports of the last decade has aggregated about $85,000. Divi-dlvl, which does- not compete with other grades of material used in tanning, and which is required In the development of certain lines of this Industry, is im ported free of duty; ' .- Y,' ; And the Chewing Own. ' Rose leaves are also imported free of duty when brought in in a crude state, the valua of the imports st19t 8 beinc but $105, in 1907 $2187, and in 1906 $8879, the value of rose leaves Import ed in the decade ending with 1908 amounting to over $20,000. The extension of the chewing gum industry' and the use of that product among the people of the United States is Illustrated by the fact that the im portation of chicle in 1908, chiefly for use in the manufacture of chewing gum, amounted to more than 4,000,000 pounds. This article,; chicle, is obtained In south ern Mexico -from the trunks of the sa podllla plum tree, and the Importation of this gum . during the last decade has amounted to about 80,000,000 pounds, or over la, 000 tons, valued at over $8,000,t 000. ...-iV-.f. ,v- -, -,- - "Dragon's blood" Imported, amounting on the face of the returns to 16,000 pounds in 1908 and to over T 200,000 pounds In the last decade, is of course not In fact dragon's blood at all, but ' a mere name ror a deep Teaaisn resin oils substance obtained from a variety of trees in the orient, especially the east coast of Sumatra, and used as aft In gredient in varnishes, stains and denti frices. The value of : the Importation of 1908 was about $6000. and during the decade about $60,000. Infants' foods also form a consid erable item of Importation. $41,004 worth in 1908. and during the decade have amounted to nearly a quarter of a million dollars, on which the duty collected amounted to neany jbo.ooo, pj Blue Vomica Is Trs V- "Nuk vomica'' forms a more import. ant reature or Tne import iraae man would probably be realised by the aver age individual unacquainted - with this particular iraae. xne Dureau or sta tistics figures show that the importa tion of nux vomica amounted, in round numbers, in 1908 Jo 8,000,000 pounds, valued at $54,000, while the quantity : Imborted in the. decade ' ending with 1908 : amounted to about 25,000,000 pounds, valued at over $400,000. This article comes In in tho .form of large round seeds: of a tree grown chiefly in southern 4Asla, -and Is used 'in the manufacture of strychnine and 'certain tinctures and tonics prescribed as medi cines, - and since it does not compete with any product of the United States enters free of duty, Musk importations in 1908 amounted to over $80,000. The musk of commerce is a secretion of a special gland of the musk deer, and comes chiefly - from China, Tonkin, and other oriental coun- IrlAii HaItio. tVilltt ..nnrtMl In mmt ,aui in the gland as cut from the slaugh tered animal, : and when Imported in this form Is described as "musk, crude. In the natural pods,' and when enter ing in this form Is free of duty. - - ''Palladium" Is also an article of com merce, though in extremely small quan tities, since the quantity of, palladium Imported in 1908 was but three one hundredths of one pound. This small quantity, three one hundredths of one .pound,, was, however, valued at $21, a pound therefore being worth approxi mately $700. In other years the quan tities imported have been much larger .amounting in 1905 to over $10,000 in lvalue, and In 1904 to more than $16,00 THE OEEGOX HOSTESSES ON POBTLAND'DAT AT? THE A - - .

DAY OF GLORY (Continued from Fax One.) tlon. No one will want -to take time to come." But, bless you, the stream of guests that flowed into the reception room of the Oregon building between- 3 and 6 began to look like a mob before the afternoon was over. Everyone want ed to come and did come, to . shake us by the hand and tell us how well we looked; . 1 ' .

' The lectures in the Oregon building nearly every hour, with moving pic tures On Oregon scenery and Indus tries, drew continuously standing room houses.- The elegant display of fresh Lambert cherries was surrounded every moment by- crowds -ofr dmiring gasers, The apples, apricots, " and -ther fruits are especlaly notable, as much Wash ington fruit was frost killed and fine northwest fruit is not so abundantly displayed as it could be In almost any other year.

CHICAGO MURDEKER (Continued from Page One.) son, known .-to the police and criminal classes of a score, of cities over the country as "The Gimlet Man," was one of the most daring and vicious members of the famous Mortell-McGraw gang of the Windy City. Finally sent to serve a term in Jollet, 111., penitentiary -for a robbery, Blssett came west when released. He was first heard of in Portland during the earlv part of February, 1904. He confessed later to the police that Sllverfleld's fur store was the most promising prospect to him in the city, and that from the first he had been preparing to loot the COMPANY, LTD., Battle PORTLAND.

' Engaging a . room In the Cosmos rooming-house, on Morrison street, from which coign of vantage he -was able to watch the movements of the po lice and special officers, he laid nla plans. First, however, he robbed the home and establishment of Andrew Kan, fain entrance to the fur establishment v way of the Japanese bazaar. He made a special key to the bazaar that he might enter at any time of the night. Squandered Money on Banes Hall Gin.

WhthrttytHg '"to dispose of three- fur jackets - stolen from Silver field's and gave the police information which led to the arrest of Biasett Both men were released when they returned JbjtJiiurider. . Desperate Plans Evoivea. One most sensational feature of !the Silverfleld robbery was the fact that after Bissett had entered Kan's store he suspended a bottle of nltro-glycer-ine, capable of blowing up the entire building, over the doorway in such a position that if anyone attempted to enter while he was at work, it would fall and explode. He also carried a revolver of large calibre, with which he asserted to Cullen he would blow the police off- the map if they attempted to interiere with mm. Pinkertpn Records show . that ' BIssett conressea to otner crimes in rortiana. Twice he and a companion attempted daylight diamond robberies, once In the store ol A. & U. eldenhetrner. Hls sett's release by the Portland police has ever oeen cause Tor speculation. Bissett murdered Serseant Russell, of the Chicago police department, in the saloon of Barry Birch. Bissett, then a labor agitator, had gone Into the sa loon looking for another labor leader whom he alleged had "double crossed' him. When he commenced brandishing two heavy guns in the face of his im agined- enemy, Russell attempted to ar rest him. Bissett fired eight shots into the body of the detective, and while at tempting to escape wounded a police man. He has not yet been tried. Bissett's record was furnished by Henry Von Oroenwald, superjntendent of the Portland Plnkerton agency. " 1 ,' 1 New Dynamo for Lebanon Plant. Lebanon, Or., July 21.
