THE OREGON DATLY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, TUESDAY .EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1910. 40 PER CAPITA AND DE raws ; Rich Mines, Valuable Timber , ; and Finest Agricultural Lana jr i v World Wonderful Op v portunities for Capital. r ' : y "hy Frederic J. llnakln. Waatilnaion, Jah. II. Of all the coun trie of th Dw world Honduras flnus ' Itaelf th deepest In debt per capita, and tha least able to meet ta lnleb.d . tieaa In fat, Franca and Portugal ara . the ony two nations on tha globj which ahow a greater per capita lndeotjdnas .than Honduraa. Apparently thla little country owe mora than 1100,000,000, three-fourth of which la Interest that ha accumulated alnce 1173. It hap renad In thla way. When tha Central 'American -republic fell to pieces. In Jin, each of tha constituent states as sumed lt proportion of tha general in debttdnesa. .Honduraa never paid its portion, and in 1M7 went Into tha mar ket to borrow money to build a trans continental railroad. Before the new loan could be floated arrangements had to be made to satisfy tha old Indebted ness. 1 The upshot of tha matter was that Honduraa fell Into tha hands of Ehylocaa, who loaned her money and took everything she had as security. Twice mora aha borrowed money, also , for tha purpose of completing an In- terocaanlc railway, but nearly all of It went into private pockets Instead of going Into tha building of a railway. Apparently no Bop. " At last Honduras threw up its hands, declaring that It had gotten no benefit front tha loana and that It would not aatlefy. th bonds. The British parlla- ., went was appealed to for an inveatlga- tlon. and soon found the whol matter tainted with fraud that It could only ' tlirow it out of court, so to speak. Since then many efforts have been made to effect a settlement,- but no mutually : satisfactory bast ha been found, 1 though the bonds one sold for per cent of their face value with no allow ance for accumulated Intereat. If... Honduras... wer p pay this whole aeot witn tne accumulated interest I would amount to $140 per capita. Ou own debt, upon- such a per capita basis, would amount to mora than 111.000,000, - 000. Heavily handicapped by it practi cal. If -not actual, repudiation of this debt, Honduraa finds Itself In still worse straits from th fact that its export trade la of less value than Its Imports, ,- - Among- th countries of the' taew world only Haiti and Colombia have a smaller per: capita export . trade than Hon dura a. --.-,"', . , Thousand Opportunities. ' In tne matter . of Internal t Improve ments Honduras I th moat backward - of all the Cent il American, atates, al though nono of 'them possess greater natural resources. ,' Its forest .contain vast area of precious woods that are all but untouched, and Its rich mines are lying Idle for lack of capital to develop ther.i. Americans have lately been-taking a deep Intereat In the possibilities of this land of virgin resources, but a thousand . opportunities still await de velopment where oh has been Improved. "While there has been complaint among the Hon dur eans over 'the exaggerated reports of their political disturbances that are circulated in the United States, they : heartily welcome our capitalist. ( As a matter of fact there are few places In the world not willing to profit by the wonder working power of Yankee brains, capital and grit ' . v Vain of th Plantain. , A remarkable' plant that grows in Honduras Is tha plantain, which is not unlike the banana. One authority esti mate that an acre of plantain produces a quantity of food equal to 1S3 acres of 'wheat or 44 acres of potatoes. Flour Is made from green plantains, and both tha ripe and green ones are g-ool to eat Jn their natural state. The sap make a rine inaeiioie ink. it Is estimated that the average bunch of' plantains will weigh 70 pounds, and that an acre of ' them will produce more than 150 tons of edible food In a single season, i Banana growing is said to yield a profit of $50 per acre for the first year, and $80 for the following 10 years. Hon duras seems to offer splendid opportunl . tlei- fpr the agriculturist, because Its '.Jawi. exempt him from liability to mili tary service. ; Th flrist cream factory ever built in ' Central America was erected at San Pedro Sula by a Mr. Troy, a native of f lV tb result of n sing fff good floor, such a Y I , Olympic us m ''13 J II Flour." a & I Always insist JaitLC it opon Olympic ? iff I Ipnre.wholeeome, fjMM4( j 1 1 clean and ootri- f yJTTSITP? 1 ltionatnad of !K'2!df ' ll selected North- rHjjTt !

Th natives thougnt m: to cream factory bad changed th cli mate of th country, so they Immedi ately sent petition to th president of th republic asking him to revoke th ic cream concession. Troy had with him a wild Irishman who "had been stranded, and this fellow conceived the idea of peddling ic cream on the- streets. He waa aooa making from $10 to $16 a day from his ingenuity and in dustry. laay Man' "Paradise. Tha Bay Islands, belonging to Hon duraa. are aald to be th nearest known approach to a lasy man's paradise. Co coaout growing constitutes practically th only lnduatry and, according to an enthusiast, all on haa to do la to burn off jl piece of ground, plant tha nuts 20 feet apart and wait five year for results. After that he la fixed for life, with an Income aafer than government bonds. The nuts are never picked, but a they mature they drop off, and thi shower of fruit goea on month after month for a lifetime. Baoanaa, pine apples, mangoes, plum and oranges grow without the slightest cultivation. While cocoanut growing may have some disadvantage not enumerated In th above propectus, It Is undoubtedly sn Industry of great possibilities. The by-products of this tropical luxury are uaed In every conceivable way. Its aap and meat provide the native with delicious food and drink. Its dried meat Is called copra. Th shall are valuable as household utensils, and can be mad Into may kind of ornaments. Th tree provide lumbar for the con tructlon of bouses, and th 4 folia" makes excellent roofing. Ther are $$ distinct uses to which th aubstanc of thla wonderful tree may be put. ranging from th manufacture of toothpicks to th preparation of dye and hair off. STo "Railroad to Capital. The custom of giving concessions, a practice which recently caused so much trouble for Mr. Kelaya of Nicaragua, ob tain also in Honduras, though It may not be abused as it waa In the neigh boring state. On thing th - Hon duraneans have long deelred Is railway connection throughout the republic. With all' th. enormous national debt, made to secure a railroad, th capital city of Honduras still remain without rail connection With the seaports, ami th journey must be mad by automobile or other conveyance. It 1 only In re cent year that even a good public high way ha been open. Th result 1 that Honduranean will give almost anything that i demanded to get a railroad. Recently a concession of 2000 acre of land waa mad for very mile of railroad th concessionaire would build in one of th province. A th rout for which th concession Waa granted present no serious engineering difficulties, and the land through which It passes I fine banana land, capable of being mad to yield a profit of $60 per acre per year, th concessionaire may secure for himself a fixed lncom of $120,000 a year for every mil of railroad h builds, even though th line yield him no net profit during th period h 1 allowed to operate It under th concession. Liberal O on cessions. In another instance a concession Of 25,000 acre of banana land waa granted to an American for an annual rental of less than I cent per acre, th oon cession to last for a long period, and the concessionaire to have th privilege of buying the land at unimproved land price at tha end of that period. Hon dura well realties that Its concession are tremendously liberal, and that they offer opportunities for th making of great fortunes, but It also understand that-American -and European will ;not Invest their money in tropical America unless they are assured of great re turns, . Unlimited natural wealth Is of no -account unless ther 1 capital to develop It. . British Honduras' Timber.' British Honduraa ' la not associated Ith Honduras ltself.except In name. t waa originally a part of Guatemala, Instead of Honduras, as the name might imply. It is British territory by rea son of the English lumbermen who set tied there 100 years ago. They saw the opportunity to get themselves under th protection of the mother country, by claiming the territory In th nam of th crown.' and asserted Britain's title to It before Monroe delivered hla cele- brated pronunclamento. Th territory extends as far back Into Guatemala as th lumbermen could reach In their duest for mahogany. Today the sec tion of country lying close to th coast, has been stripped of its' tree, but ther are still plenty of them inland. Bellse, the capital of the 'Colony, continues to be the foremost mahogany market of the world." Other percious wood are shipped in large quantities. An Error Corrected. Many people have supposed that ma hogany Is a wood of very slow growth, and some1 of the beat writers on tropical t matters have accepted thla theory. The , error is due to the difference of time In which the rings on these trees are j firmed. In America and -Europe one ' ring a year is formed, and It was na turally presumed that the same ap plied to the mahogany tree. As a mat ter of fact, it adds thre rings a year, and the tree whose rings -'indicate that It was 100 year old, was, as a matter, of fact, only S3 yeara old. The high price of mahogany Is due to the infrequent occurrence of the tree, and the dangerous swamps in which it grows. A single tree is often worth thousands of dollars. Most of the work of cutting, hewing and getting the logs to market la done by night, the heat of the day being too intense for such operations.

Oads l?yls making a mistake in joining Mrs. f.'ellle Gadsby. as a defendant in the same case in which she is suing Walter M." Gadsby for divorce, the attorneys for Gadsby have filed a demurrer to the complaint. They hold that the plain tiffs grievance against her mother-in- law, Mrs. Nellie Gadsb.v, Is a matter for a separate cause of action, and that her effort to recover half of $14,000 re ceived by Mrs. Nellie Gadsby from th sal of property on Marshall street, is something the court cannot consider. Mrs. Beatrice Gadsby alleges that this property was given to her and Walter as a wedding present. But Mrs. Nellie Gadsby held the title and kept the pro ceeds. The alleged wedding present is attacked by the demurrer as being with-1; out consideration and of no effect In any event: Carey and Kerr, Charles J.t Schnabel and'W. P. La Roche represent Walter M. Gadsby and his mother. Washington, Jsn. 11. Tor th fiscal year th' gross revenue of postal service reached the enormous total or $Z0S, e3,38l, an Increase of $12,083,720, or 6.S1 per cent, over the preceding year. There were 7202 presi dential poatofflces on July 1, 1909. Of this number 39$ were first claaa, an in crease of 14; 1707 were second class, an Increase of 112; and 6097 were third claas, an Increase of 230.' The total In crease In the number of presidential offices was $68. During tbe year 431 offices were advanced from the fourth to the third class, and 1 from the fourth to the second class. There were 1444 postofflcea eatab llshed during the year and 2004 were discontinued, leaving a total of 60.141 poatofflces in operation on June 20, 1909. During th year 1(26 postmssters were appointed at presidential offices. Of these appointment 476 were at of fice advanced to th presidential class during-th fiscal year. At fourth -class offices 9161 postmaster were ap pointed. . 1 . , Effect of Vw Salary Ur, On July 1, 1909. the act of congress which provides for th annual promo tion of clerk and carrier on evidence of satisfactory and efflcclent aervice had been In effect for two full yeara. lut passage at tni Jaw and tne adop tion of a uniform system of recording the efficiency of postofflce employes have unquestionably resulted In secur ing a much higher degree of efficiency in th clerical and carrier forces. That this has been attained is shown by th fact that notwithstanding the vast In crease in the volume of postal business th department found It necessary last year to allow a net increaae of only 2967 postofflce clerks and city carriers,! a compared with 4653 for the preceding fiscal year. During th last fiscal year 16,292 clerks and 19,155 carriers were pro moted on July 1, 1908; 2439 clerks and 1916 carriers on October 1, 1908; 2167 clerk and 2616 carrier on January 1, 1909; and 1766 clerk and 1604 carriers on April 1. 1909. Efficiency Xaoorda of Employe. A new system for rating postofflce employe as to efficiency and faithful neas was put Into effect at city delivery postofflce on January 1, 1909. The ratings are based on the quantity of work employes perform, their accuracy In doing It their compliance with th postal regulation and office rules aa to conduct, their punctuality and regu larlty in attendance, and their familiar Ity with the regulation and Instruc tions regarding their duties a ahown by examinations. Quantity of work la rated on a oomparatlv basis in per cent; accuracy, conduct and attendance by demerit for error, offense against discipline and unnecessary tardiness and absence In excess of 30 days for th year; and examination by credit for record abov a certain required stand ard. A th system ha not been In effect for on complete year, It ha not yet become possible to make It the sol basis for determining whether or not any employe ahould be promoted: but postmasters have been Instructed to view employes' records" 'bef or th In troduction of th new plan In th light of It provision, and some oppor tunity haa therefore been afforded for Judging a to its Justice and effective ness. Th report received from vari ou poatofflces have so far been ex ceedlngly gratifying. w Growing la ravor. While at first an unfriendly attitude toward the system was noticeable here and ther among both postmaster and employe, thl seems to have almost wholly disappeared. The clerks and carriers appear to have realized that by establishing a general standard of rat lngs and penalties for delinquencies, to be departed from only in exceptional cases, the new plan haa done much to Insure uniform justice In promotions and reductiona and to put It squarely up to each man to mae hi own record. wnne tne postmasters state with sur prising unanimity that the record ha greatly aided them in maintaining and mproving tha discipline and efficiency of their' offices. From many cities there ha been reported a decided In crease in the punctuality, carefulness. and attention to duty of tha employes, with a correlative lessening of errors and petty Infractions of the regula tions. Retirement for Aged Employes. The question of retiring superannu ated employes on a penalon has con fronted the executive departments and has been discussed in congress for many years. The present law; prohibits the maintenance of a civil pension list and makes it the duty of executive officers to drop from the rolls all employes who are permanently incapacitated for per forming service. This law, however, is most difficult of enforcement, and It 1 undoubtedly a fact that there are many employe in the postal aervice who should be retired on account of age and physical infirmities. Many of these men have spent their lives In the service. On account Of the long hours and exacting nature of their duties they have not been able td add to their meager savings by outside employment nor to lay up a competence for old Age. To remove them from tha Bervlce for incompetency when their period of ac tive usefulness ha passed is in contra vention of the spirit of our institu tions. Good administration and . hu manity alike demand that some provis ions be made to care for these veterans of the service when overtaken by old age or disability. Fees i of 8 cents each on special de livery mail were, claimed by post masters last year to the total amount of $1,116,288.68, Indicating, that 13,941. 108 pieces of mail of this character were delivered. These figure relate to all poatofflces. Irrespective of class. DREDGE CHANNEL THENMAP IT; IS eni ran Request of Portland Chamber of Commerce for Showing of Actual Depths in Colum bia River' is" Granted. (Wahlnttoa Buret of Tbe JoarnaLt -Washington, Jan. 11. Chief Engineer Marxhall ha ordered a change In th system of making survey of th chan nel of the Columbia river in aocordanc with the request recently made by th Portland Chamber of Commerce, and filed with tha chief engineer by mem bers or the Oregon delegation. Th nw system of survey will provide that a survey be made after th an nual dredging of the channel has been completed so that maps showing depth of water may show actual depth for commercial purpose. At present survey ax mad prior to tne dredging of the channel, with the result that map ahow much la depth of water than actually exist, throughout th greater portion of th year, for commercial purpose. Futur survey will be mad aa In th past, except that juat before tnapa are made sounding will be taken and th actual depth of wator after dredging will b recorded upon the maps. This subse quent survey will not be shown upon the maps of 1909, as th map hav al ready been completed. LEGISLATURE OF - VIRGINIA MEETS i i i .I.
