Commercial Agent of Bureau
, of Manufactures, ' Depart
' ment of Commerce, Speaks
; Before Local Chamber.
Lotett if. Wood, Commercial agent of
the bureau of manufacture of the de
partment of commerce and labor, at an
informal luncheon at the Multnomah
hotel at noon today .explained to a num.
ber of prominent members of the Port
land chamber of commerce the Impor
tance end magnitude of American com
merce In the orient and possibilities for
market extension across the Pacific.
Mr. Wood, whose home Is In Seattle,
has just returned from a 16 month tour
of the orient his travels extending over
Formosa, Japan, China, Manchuria, east
ern Siberia, the Strait settlement and
the Philippines. The purpose waa to
Investigate and ascertain opportunities
for marketing goods of American man
ufacture In those countries.
Demand Increasing.
- "I found the demand for American
fcoods increasing In the orient," said
Mr. Wood, fcnd there la a remarkable
wakening in the deelre for modern
goods from all foreign nations. Amer
ica has very active competition for
trade in, English, German, French, Bel
gian, Swiss and Australian manufactur
ers. I found that where large American
Interests had American representatives
who had made themselves familiar .with
the peculiar-trade and financial meth
ods, they received a very satisfactory
volume of business and steadily Increas
ing. These representatives, too, are do
ing very valuable work for smaller con
cerns who are not personally. represented
there. I found, however, too much of a
disposition on the part of smaller
American manufacturers depending on
foreign representatives, a method which
for many reasons is not conducive to the
fullest rea'izatlon of the rapid Increase
of orders for foreign goods all-over the
orient. -; ' ' .- .- ; : .
- Must Study Routes.
'"There is a need for American manu
facturers to study not only the increase
developed under the plan of the bureau
of manufactured Id develop foreign
trade, tut to consider the use of foreign
bottom and the time lost In the round
about shipping routes, and to see what
can be done to their profit In the na
tural shortest and safest routes auross
the Pacific ocean. This would give an
additional advantage of not endangering
perishable goods by : the extreme heat
met with In shipping by, way of Euro
pean porta, ? .
"Another important point Is the na
tural advantig ot isn Oriental depot
for distribution to all principal markets
throughout the orient. My. investiga
tions led me to believe that Manila is
the ideal point of dlatrlbntlon, with Oh
added advantage of being American
territory dominated by American laws
a nd America n-4nihiener
"In io y talks to the commercial bod-
lea of the various Pacific coast cities
I have urged that they not only take
active interest In promoting the 4istrl

but give such cordial cooperation and
assistance to the Philippine Islands as
will result . In the future to. the great,
profit of the Pacific coast, as well as
the whole union.
Chinese Ate rriendly.
"i oeueve tne i'niuppines are more
valuable "in a national commercial way,
and will prove more profitable to us
as such, than Alaska has been from
I he date of ita purchase to the present
time, and I believe that thase who ad
vocated abandonment of the Philippines
are farther astray than those who for
eo many, years were convinced that we
shcjld give' Alaska back to Russia.
. The Chinese are very friendly to the
United States, and for many reasons,
one being that a number of Chloese
have been educated In the United States.
I found the Chinese business men hon
est and capable, in fact to such an ex
tent that I regard them aa the best
business men in the world." .
Dr. Wood was in various parts of
China during the rebellion, but declares
he felt as safe as upon hit return to
America, for both factions were very
careful not to molest foreigners.
"Had the missionaries obeyed instruc
tions from their respective consuls, they
would have escaped trouble," explained
Mr. Wood, f- '-rr-rr
Missionaries Doing Good.
'"But instead of getting away from
the scenes of the fighting they re
mained, and in many cases endeavored
to retain leadership. Some consuls went
bo far as to deport missionaries who
were overconfident and Insisted, on re
maining. ' ; .
"Others were just as curious and can
tankerous, and I am not intending at all
to cast any invidious reflections upon
these missionaries, and I will say that
the missionaries; have done a great deal
of good in China In the way of spreadt
Ing European education, and for which
. they are entitled to much credit
' Mr.-Wood says the Chinese are rap
Idly, adopting European style of dress
And methods, and he looks forward to
a time in the very near future when
the Chinese will stand far to the front
among the most progressive and up to
date nations. He says the rebellion will
: have less evil" erf eels commercially In
China than had a revolution of its
magnitude In any other nation.

Health officers of several counties
Joined in the discussion following these
papers, and mora than one promised to
use more energy in future, though all
said they were working under handi
caps. These papers and discussions
followed along the same lines as those
advocated yesterday by Dr. Andrew C.
Smith, who declared doctors derelict In
their duty should be prosecuted.
The cigarette came In for a good lam-
baantg from Dr. Alfred Kinney of
toni. who talked on TMrh.r- TS,,ti.
in Publio Health." Dr. Kinney said the
school teacher could be .very valuable
as a sort of detective to ferret out what
waa the matter with the children, and
to remedy conditions. He called the
cigarette one of the dangers of the
school.
"The teacher can find out If the dot
has been smoking quicker thaa his parents,-
he said. "The child that begins
to smoke at 6, 8, 10, 12 and even 14
years of age, unless It can be stopped,
will not be worth the money spent on
Its education. And further, that child
will be a menace to other children.
Is the cigarette more harmful than
the pipe? I think not. But It is a
short smoke, the boy can steal a few
whiffs often, and the tendency is to
inhale. So lu effect la worse.
The boy who begin smoklna- aarlv
Is sure to be a fiend or at least he will
be a drunkard. There never was a
drunkard who didn't smoke to excesa
and most of them began smoking very
eany. inere are exceptions, of course."

Quarantining Facilities.
Portland has worse facilities for Quar
antining and handling an epide'mle of
contagious disease than any city of
Its size in the United States, accord
ing to Dr. R. C. Tenney, who "led off
tne discussion yesterday afternoon with
a paper on "How Best to Enforce Quar
antine." "There la no place where you
can take persons suffering from con
tagious disease In Portland," said he,
"unless you mix them up with sufferers
from other diseases and let them con
tract three of four varieties of sickness.
I don't know any community worse off,
than this one."
How rigidly to enforce a Quarantine
presents some puzzlers to the conscien
tious doctor, he said. Dr. Yenney took
the view that the community owed tho
Individual protection, as well as the
individual's owing the community pro
tection. Whenever possible, he be
lieved In letting the breadwinner of the
tamily leave the house.
Quarantine in measles Dr. Tenney held
to ba virtually useless, because th eon;

Starts "Something."
Than Mm Tr f! it mut., .iiulffreBs: Dr. Blalock of Walla Walla. I
health officer, who had his little' Joke !
ai me expense or tne other doctors. Dr.
Wheeler was to exnlaln the dlffernnce
tetween eruptive diseases with symptoms !
confusingly alike, especially smallpox j
and chlckenpox, but he started' a small1
slsed, stampede after he had declared
that he was going to "Illustrate" his leo
ture. . !
"Come here" he called to a young
man in the rear of the room, who haJ
slipped in unnoticed. The young man
came. He appeared to be afflicted with
a beautifully developed case of small-
pox and a good many of the doctors
developed a sudden disposition to shrink
into the farthest corner of their chairs.
But Dr. Wheeler assured them it was
chlckenpox.
After that, ihe doctors went ud to
the young man with the chlckenpox,
who obligingly removed his shirt, and
permitted himself to be prodded and
thumped and pummeled with great good
nature. Then Dr. Wheeler went on with
his lecture. Illustrating on the ytfung
man and by figures on the blackboard
how to differentiate between smallpox
and chlckenpox.
"There's a stage In the two diseases
when no doctor living could say exact
ly which It was.- he said, "but after
the eruption breaks out there's no ex
cuse for wrong diagnosis."
Statement Challenged.
It looked for a minute as if the ses
sion would bs enlivened by a split on
the vaccination subject, when Dr. B.
T. McCallora of Polk county declared
that he had noticed a deep and lasting
prejudice against smallpox.
iaim prejuaicenas been spreading
through the country since the recent
mild form of the disease," he said. "A
good many people fear vaccination more
than they do smallpox. And personally,
can say that I ve seen almost more
damage from vaccination. People get
pretty sick sometimes, sicker than if
they had smallpox. Some cases of vac
cination are very severe."
This brought a quick reply from Dr.
Calvin 8. White, secretary of the state
board of health. . v
"I don't want -; that statement to so
unanswered," cried Dr. Whita "la 1000
cases of vaccination in the last three
months on which we have statistics, not
one has been confined, to bed. And for
10 years now, there hasn't been a death
from vaccination. Cleanliness and sci
entific methods have eliminated1 the
danger.'
Vaccination . is a doctrine so abso
lutely proved that every man Is .dere
lict in his duty If he save one word
against It"
The tension was relieved when Dr. Mc-
Callom hastened to declare Tie was not
against vaccination, and in fact, urged
ltAhllt that QI niAlv atntln a

'DEFENSE LEAGUE1
Walter H. Evans, candidate for the
Republican nomination for district at

his campaign and professional duties
and organize the "Candidates'-Defense
league." Yesterday he told why.
"A man came to me and said his name
was Evans. He believed he must be
some klq to me, 4Ie told me where he
had come from and who his folks were.
and . I couldn't remember any cousins
of his complexion. He said he wasn't
busy Just now, and because he and I had
the same name and there was a good
chance of our being- cousins, ho would
like to help me In a whole-hearted, dis
interested way by distributing some of
my cards around Bridal Veil and the
upper end of the county.
"i said to myself: 'All this is too
good to be true. Nothing so soft as this
ever happens to candidates even In their
dreams.' But I was 'willing for Mm te
distribute the cards. , He took them,
turned away, came back, - and mildly
suggested that I pay his car faro and
Incidental expenses. , . .
"Then I wen $ down on the street and
met W. A. Carter, and he said this man
had come to him with the cousin story.
And Henry Reed had also found a cous
in In this obliging Individual.- Ha waa
all names to all candidates, and since
this Is 'open season' fog candidates, I
wouldn't be surprised If ho were doing
a good business. : ' -
"And that's the way it goes day after
day. Tot) would aover imagine you had
so many friends you had never seen
before who need so many things in re
turn for their friendship. It baa to be
the 'closed door to all of them." .
"I want to Join that "Candidates' De
fense league right away," declared Ben
Selling, candidate for United State sen-
ator, who happened to bear Mr. Evans
talking. '. ..,'.,.'' .."
"Only, a few minutes ago a man earns
to me and said he would bs for mo like
b . but. that aa ho was a candidate
himself he would like $150 for his cam
patgn fund. He thought that would be
a fair exchange.
. "I said to that gentleman: "Of all the

nerve that I ever encountered, yours Is
a specimen of the purest ray serene. Tou
