The total shipments of lumber by vessel from this port for 1915 will be 310,000,000 feet, as agilnst 437,000,000 feet In 1914. The shrinkage Is due to the condition of the lumber market cauaed mainly by the war in Mexico and Europ.

Mr. Sammon.s believes there Is a grtat opportunity in China for - the establishment of a market for dried fruits. The people subsist so exten sively upon rice, a heavy cereal, that some sort of lighter food as a relish could be pushed to advantage The Chinese, however, have to be "shown." and they must hae thinns that are cheap. That Is why there Is not a wld.; market for fresh fr.dts of fancy duality. Australia supplies most of tli fresh fruits that are Imported. but the people manage to get alon-r well on the native fruits. Some pears and apples v ere Introduced by mis sionaries and planted In the northern provinces, and these occasionally find their way to the market now. Another opportunity in China, Mr Sammons pointed out, is the establish ment of a market for strong, rough blankets of low price. Oregon wool could well be worked up Into blankets of this character not the fancy, ex pensive brands that have made ihn 1 Oregon mills famous and these, he jbilieves, would find ready sale j Prices have been against the nor mal expansion or markets In (Tiina tor northwestern flour, the consul general said, because the native flour though Inferior In quality. Is cheap enough to satisfy most neeils. As a matter of fact, the Chinese have been exporting some flour of late under special government permit. American Kills Underbid. The exportation of foodstuffs has always been looked upon with disfa vor by the government, only the emer gencies of war allowing variation from the rule now. The mills of the Yang Tse valley have been able to un derbid American mills in Hong Kong, which has cut out some of the flour manufactured here. Mr. Sammons declared emphatically his opinion that direct steamship ser vice out of the Columbia rlier to Ori ental ports would have the effect of General.

In the same way, a rusty human svstem is clocrcred and slowed down by con stipation, which causes a tremendous loss of mental and physical energy. The remedy in the case of the watch is a fine grade of ma chine oil. And the remedy for constipation, according to the latest conclusions of medical science, is an even finer lubricant Nujol the pure white mineral oil. Nujol lubricates the intestinal tract throughout its entire length, and softens the intestinal contents. In this way it facilitates the processes of normal evacuation, and eventually makes possible the return of regular bowel movements. Nujol is not a laxative-drug nor a bowel stimulant. It is not absorbed by the system, hence it may be taken in any quantity without harm. It does not act as a pure, but if used rerjularly will bring permanent relief from constipation in the course of a week or ten days. Write for booklet, "The Rational Treatment of Constipation." If your druggist hasn't it, we will send a pint bottle of Nujol prepaid to any point in the United States on receipt of 75c money order or stamps.
