Puget Portland lerl the combined sound ports inj.the shipping of wheat, j tar ley and oats during the past month an waa surpassed only in the ship men tsof wheat: flour, During Decent b.er.c 1914, this port hipped l,45.89 bU8,iel" of wheat to BuropeV M92l-! bushels to California, and 83.2.76 bushels to South America. The combined ZUget sound ports sent 3IJ.195 bushels to Kurope. 131, 33t bushels to California, 139.178 bushels to Bouth America,.'33.531 bushels to the 'orient and (60.000 bushels to South Africa- - Portland exported 110,670 bushel of barley asf against 73,178 tushels from Fuget sund. The figures I prepared by the Mer chants Exchange far lt month shed some interesting light on the success of the atilpplng sea son no far. More Wheat by. I,00,000 bushels has been taken from this port so far by Euro pean markets than had been taken at this, time last year. South America hs takfh 317 833 bushels, and South Africa 194,025 ushels, where they, had not received any at this time last season. ' h - : ,On the other hand, this port's two -nearest markets. California and , the orient, apparently staggered by high prices, bavs fallen' far behind. "Where California had received 3.730,190 bush sis at this time last year, it has re ceived only 2.100,635bushels this year. The, orient had takn 981,263 bushels, but has so far; not purchased, a single bushel. ' m California has made up for this enormous deficiency in her wheat buy- ' Ing by taking a trifle more of the man. ufaeiured product. Portland ha .shipped" 50,911 barrels of flour, as against '209!,3t5jlast year, while Puget sound has also I sent more flour south than 11 had at this time a year ago. " Within the Aext few months, the oriental deflclehey is expected to be greatly lessened also. Large quanti ties of a Cheap! grade of flour are on hand here for .Shipment to the orient and will undoubtedly move in the near future,. I- TWO COMl'AyiKS ARK. MERGED 'Border.

As the time approaches fpr the opening next Monday of the 41at session of the Cal ifornia legislature, all the more cer tain is the strength of the Johnson forces In both senate and assembly, so that there will be little to hamper the administration In continuine its method of legislation established two sessions ago.

It is entirely on my own initiative that I write to you, as somehow I -feel that you must answer my first call to you after 'all these years. In spite of everything; Chowie, I want you to know that you still and always will have a corner- in my heart. For mothers sake I do so much want to set news of Belle. We have not heard from her for over six years and motner is worrying nerself to death.. She has written and. written, but has; received no reply and la of course imagining all sorts of silly things. ' Another thing is. Belle wrote a long time ago to take her belongings over touer siore, as sne was arraia Fred Kay would stick to them, as he apparently has been out of Docket. We talked to him about it and he re fuses to allow1 us to do this, as he has power of attorney for you and Is afraid' to nart with them. Mother, ot-f course, wouldn't force one of. Belle's things, but feels that Fred Kay nas dib power over her and no iTia-y usn. uej: iu icuiiac as iic yuu t his losses. There are lots of - lovely things which we would be ame to sell, such as your wedddng presents and silver. etc. ir- you say mat we may taae them, -then Fred Kay has no power over them. Chowie dear, wny nave you dropped. your old ioiks so completely t xz you only knew now nurt we reel: I still believe in you, and V only want to know how you are getting on and I do hope with all my heart that you are, happy.

How I' should love to see you again, i Write to me here : and don't destroy ; my laith in you by not writ ing. ' I shall be waiting and watching, Chowie dear, for this token of affec tion for me. : .Everything, you may choose to Jet me know will go no -further, but I do want. even a few crumbs of comfort for mother because she fears Belle is dead. , , . I feel sure that it is not so badi Tf it had been, you -would have, written.

ENVER PASHA RAISED FIGHTING MONEY BY VERY! BOLD, Death' Threat Brings 'Turks td the Colors in a Great Hurry, . - By Henry M ood. Constantinople, by courier to Salon ika and mall to New- York. Deo. 6. Enver Pasha. Turkey's 32-year-old self elected "Man of Destiny, raised money almost overnight to mobilize the OUo man army. ;. How poor,; nearly bankrupt Turkey was able to get together a goqd sized force of troops for participation in the European struggle has. been one of tha wonders of the war. It was thus that Enver Fasha! accomplished it. "We must jhave an army at once to defend our neutrality," he told his col leagues wheii the conflict began. . "That's impossible," cried the other ministers In one voice. "Turkey hasn't money enough to equip a single regi ment properly. Besides we haven't enough men." Plans to Sell Exemption. '"Leave that to me," rejoined Enver. "In the first place, I'll threaten death to every man who fails to answer the mobilization calL After a few have been shot and they see we mean busi ness, we will have men enough. "Then we'll announce that those who desire exemption can have it for 43 pounds ($190), and that will give us all ihe money we need." The war minister proved a true pro phet. His plan was put ln practice. anl men and money poured it. I Employers put up funds not only for themselves, but in many jcases for -their employee. They had-to do it or lose the latter's services. i Morgenthau's Servants Attacked. Among other people the foreign am bassadors were hard hit. All the em bassies employ a number of Turkish servants .American Ambassador Mor genthau saw himself about to be de prived of he services of 10 men whom he needed badly. He went at once' to Enver Pasha. "Surely, your excellency, he pro tested, "you ; are not going to deprive me of this help Enver looked him squarely in the eye- . 'And surely, your excellency," he replied, "yot don't mean to tell me that a great country like the United States is going to ask a poor, strug gling country like Turkey to giveit' 43 pounds? i "Why, only this morning my wife begged me on her bended knees to exempt her favorite servant and I re fused her, . saying that my country must have : either the man or 43 pounds." 5 Morgenthau Sends Check. Ambassador Morgenthau made a proud bow. "I understand perfectly, your excel lency," he said. "You need say no more." , That afternoon he sent his check to Enver Pasha, for nearly $2000. What? the American ambassador did was done by the representatives of the other powers. England, France, Russia, Belgium and Seryia all helped to pay for Turkey's mobilization.. Christians generally helped exten sively, too. i They would have hamp ered the Turks la declaring a "Holy War,"' so they knew they were not wanted, and that to get rid of them, the Ottoman military authorities, would put them in the places of es pecial ' danger. Therefore, almost to a man, they paid for exemption to es cape service. j Altogether Enver not only raised funds for . the mobilization, but - he raised also an army of 600,000 men, completely equipped on a war footing.

' . Prior to the holidays the ; people were too busy buying Christmas pres ents and gathering together all their old clothes to arive to the untoriu- nate of the city, -to have suits .and , overcoats mended so they hardlyver. stopped at the little tailor shop of A. Schenk. just oft one of the main thoroughfares. The mender f rips and buttons foresaw . a sorrowful Christmas and lonesome New Tear's Eve for himself and helper If he re ceived no more business. An inspira tion came he would sell Xmas trees in Los Angeles. X The bank book was taken from Its hiding place In the box of sample clothes and the last figures carefully noted. A few cents over $700 Was the net .total, . ' ; Schenk went Into Ove country and found a few men who would out the smalt " trees by the day and ' he also found a landowner who was willing to sell the ornaments for a small con sideration. In ten days 6600 trees were cut and. rieady.for shipment to Los Angeles. - iThey arrived at ' tho Sunny cltya where snow is unknown at a cost of exactly 1 "cents apiece, or $616 for the lot. This price ln clif3ed the cost , of buylng'-from the Iandower,. cutting and freight. As southern California does not have young fir trees they . proved a real novelty to the people, who gladly paid from 25 cents to $1. Figuring an average retail price of 40 cents for th whole lot. Schenk received a to tal of' nearly $2240, which meant, a clear profit of $1600 or nearly 280 per cent. The tailor is taking a nice va cation in San Francisco and will not return until after the first of next we.ek. , ' i- ' : ' .

State Bank Superintendent Sargent says that $3913.03 of the appropriation of $10,000 for 1913, and $5221.03 oTs the $10,000 appropriated for 1914 Was tin lined. The -statement shows -that $400 more in examination fees was collected in 1914 than In 1913. , Although the salaries of the super intendent and examiners were In creased about $2000, the arrangement gave the superintendent a ' chance' to spend more time In the office, and it is explained that $600 in salaries of the clerical force was saved.
