STATISTICIAN
PAINTS VIVID PICTURE
OF STAGGERING DEBT
i
Sum of $5.55 Monthly Per'
Citizen for 40 Years Nec
essary to Pay for It,
By C. F. Bertelll.
Paris, March 3. (By Mail to New
York, March 24.) (L N. S.) A vtvld
idea of the crushing nature of the
coming burden of war taxation in Eu
rope is supplied by M. E. Rloult, a
French statistician, who finds that
every single French person will, after
the war, have to pay monthly $5.55
taxation for 40 years. Thus for a
family of six persons, $33.30 will have
to be paid out per month to liquidate
France's .war indebtedness.
M. Rloult calculated that Franco's
total war debt will prove to be $24,
000,000,000. The total population '
of France is 38,000,000, and if this
sum had to be divided among . the
population each person would receive
$631.58.
France's annual financial obliga
tions hereafter will be as follows:
Interest on war loans at 6 per
cent. $1,200,000,000.
Amortization in forty years,
$600,000,000.
Pensions, $300,000,000.
Indemnities for reconstruction of
property destroyed, $300,000,000.
Total, $2,400,000,000.
These figures relate only to war
burdens and are in addition to the
usual peace taxation.

BUYING FLURRY IS A
PUZZLER TO OREGON
Amdunt of Purchases in Week
Is Far Ahead of Any Previ
ous Week in Past 8 Months
Featuring the lumber situation at
present is the flurry in California buy
ing. Cargo mills of th West Coast
Lumbermen's- association took on up
wards of 16,000,000 feet from California
during the week, and, with several
large coastwise shippers not affiliate I
with the association, it is believed that
the California market, last week, placed
more business than during any previ
ous week of the past eight months.
It is said the buying movement is
somewhat puzzling to Oregon and
Washington mills, the California yards
having been practically out of the mar
ket for some weeks. Some closely In
touch with the situation say California
stocks are light, that California lumber-using
prospects are good, and that
in addition the buying has been some
what stimulated by a tendency toward
higher coastwise freight rates and pos
sibly an $11 mill base for lumber.
Car Shortage Bern alas.
Aside from this unusual California
situation, the weekly trade barometer
of the West Coast Lumbermen's asso
ciation tells the same old story of car
shortage, heavily Increased balance in
unshipped business, and a general dis
position of the mills to close down in
the event rail shipping relief is not
soon forthcoming.
The association report to the week
shows that 1S5 mills cut 73.S32.797 feet
of lumber which was 22.02 per cent be
low the normal cutting possibilities of
the mills participating in the report.
New business accepted amounted to
S3.S67.09S feet, of which 1$8 carloads
or 49,700,000 feet,- came mostly from
transcontinental markets.. 27.SS6.90S
feet from coastwise and overseas mar
kets, and 6,170.189 feet from the home
markets- such as shipbuilding and local
construction.
All new business accepted exceeded
production by 12 per cent and exoeeded
shipments 27.19 per cent. ,
Shipments Are Usted.
In the transcontinental rail trade the
new business accepted exceeded ship
ments 10.99 per cent.
Shipments for the week totaled 60.
841,908 feet, of which 1378 carloads
or approximately 84,300,000 feet was
loaded for tranacontinentaJ raartx.
The local deliveries by team and auto
mobile were 6,265,613 feet The cargo
loadings amounted to 20,276,895 feet, of
which 10,059.t-- feet went to coastwise
markets and 10.U6.760 feet to export
markets. Export orders exceeded ex
port shipments by about 1,600,000 feet.
The secretary of the association re
ports 693,148,546 feet of lumber sold
and awaiting shipment at association
mills. He also reports unsold stocks
extremely light. In the unshipped bal
ance is 18,121 carloads for transconti

T am convinced that many educated
people, while openly laughlng'at palm
is try. clalrvsyapce, fortune telling and
love charms, secretly believe lrr-thm,"
assorts Frank Leeds, investigator of
psychio phenomena, who recently, ap
peared before the Portland Ministerial
association. In a lecture on the 'Tit
falls of Psychology." In which he dem
onstrated the various tricks employed
by spirit mediums.
Almost in proof of this assertion,
during the meeting a man in the
audience became so firmly im
bued with the idea that there was su
pernatural power employed instead of
trickery that he became hysterical
and cried to the demonstrator to stop
the performance, because It was the
"spirit of the devil."
In speaking of the Incident later Dr.
Leeds said:
raid Mediums Boored.
. "When sDlrit phenomena that 1
onenlv aznoaed and proclaimed" as
trickery has such an effect upon the
mind or a presumably eaucaiea man.
what rreater effect must it then have
when the same trick Is effected In the
seance room under the guise of genu
ineness, with all the conditions im
posed by the medium and the mystery
of their ' reliaious ceremony. I have
often wondered what would happen if
a genuine spook would appear at one
of their meetings, when the bogus
ones make such an impression.
When asked how he became an in
vestigator, Mr. Leeds said:
"From mv earliest childhood any
thing that pertained to the occult in
tested me. "Ghost stories" were my
particular brand of 'yellow backs.'
Kara Subject to Basal.
"But my active Interest was aroused
at the age of 11. when I appeared as
a subject for Professor John E. Ken
nedy. who promised free tickets to
anyone who would come upon bis
stage and submit to his hypnotic
tests. He suggested to the boys and
men who had come up that we were
sitting on a hill overlooking a plain,
watching a herd of buffalo coming
nearer and nearer. Out. of the corner
of rny eye I could see that the rest
of them were either seeing things or
were pretenders, but, try as I would.
I. could see nothing but the faces of
the audience. The ridiculousness of
the situation struck me and I laughed
outright, whereupon the professor
moved me back out of the circle with
the explanation that I had emerged
from under his Influence.
"I saw my ticket for the rest of the
week glimmering and resolved in my
own mind to see things, too, when he
presented the next scene. The con
sequence was I became his star sub
ject for the balance of the week. In
payment he gave me a complete course
In how to rnesmerire. With this as
a basis I made a deep and thorough
study of hypnotism, which I pursued
even during my study for the minis
try., I subsequently became a pro
fessional hypnotist, working both pri
vately and publicly.
"Some of the results achieved were
marvelous and placed me pre
eminent among hypnotists, making it
possible for me alone among those of
the same profession to appear In a
city theater In New York. Philadelphia,
Baltimore and all the principal east
ern cities. My private work consisted
of lecturing and demonstrating in
medical colleges and teaching physi
cians and dentists psycho-therapeutics
and hypnotic anaesthesia. Many
amusing cases were, of course, en
countered. Tleld Is rrultfal.
T did not carry any subjects with
me, for I found there were always
numbers of people In all walks of life,
doctors, lawyers, business men and
clerks, who were willing to serve ser
me, the local Interest inspired making
them infinitely more satisfactory than
strangers to the audience.
"The results that I achieved in my
publio performances were most grati
fying, but my mind constantly revert
ed to the time when I served as a sub
ject for Kennedy. Tb boys and men
on the stage with me may have been
hypnotised, but- I knew I was not,
and I began to wonder whether these
people were fooling me ae I had
fooled Kennedy. After thorough in
vestigation I determined that for stage
purposes no one. no matter how i
strong a hypnotist he may be, can 1
hypnotise numbers of people and to ,
the extent they claim In the short :
space of time allotted to such per-1
formance. The skepticism inspired In ;
me from this investigation led me
further and I then began to devote my i
time to the Investigation of spirit i
phenomena, I
"It may seem a bit egotistical for'
me to characterize myself as being
'preeminent' in the line of spirit ln-i
vestlgatlon with such men as Sir Ol-!
lver Lodge, William James, W. T.
Stead and Lombroso but I do claim I
that they are utterly unqualified to j
judge of the trickery by which all of
these manifestations are accomplished. '

do not know how proposed Increases
may apply, but desire to protest vig
orously any increases affecting Pa

any direction until the railroads can
handle the present crop.
"Dealers are unable to fill million t
of dollars' worth of sales made on
prices delivered at eastern points en
basis of current rates on account of
cariers deplorable failure to furnish
cars, y Interest, Insurance and storage

months and taxes Incurred on account
of carriers' Inability to move ship
ments. Some car orders, five months
old. are still unfilled.
"Permission to Increase rates under
existing condition would be a mon
