beat old-line companies, and would
easily cover the cost of protection for
a term of five years on this body of
carefully selected younr men. under nor
mal conditions In times of peace, says
Frank, McMulIen, In the Financial News.
Indeed, no life insurance- company or
croup of companies ever has or can
gather together in one year euch a
volume of business, most of which will
be on the lives of men under 21 years
of : are, sound - as bullets. Therefore
the normal cost to be borne by the men,

As a starter, the government has ap

Government insurance for our men of
the army and navy is a happy and
i proper solution of the matter, because
- the abnormal mortality cost occasioned
by the war 4he people's war will be
paid by the people.
Other provisions of the Insurance
measure are: t

himself and baby.
If disabled beyond recovery it equips

' The bill consists of three Sparta, the
first part providing for the maintenance

by providing for compensation to the
officer or soldier while he may- be dis

. To "determine the present extent of
outside enterprise m Mindanao, in the
Philippines,, the' governor recently
caused to be gathered. In $iis depart
ment statistics of the land held ' by
Americans and foreigners and the pro
portion of this which is tinder cultiva
tion. Estimates were necessary In some
cases, and the figures arrived at are
believed to be an understatement. These
have not heretofore been published. .
The total area held by Americans an-1
foreigners at the beginning of 1917 Is
given as 131,635 acre of which 22 per
cent was under, cultivation. America
held $4,254: acres; Spaniards,- IM17 i
Japanese, 12.342 ; Chinese, 10,67$ ; Engi
llah,, 2629 ; i Swiss.1507 ; Turks, 267 ;
French, 14S, and Arabs,' 94. The culti
vation of less than one quarter pf this
land Is explained by pointing to the use
of large areas for cattle grafting. Land
so used is Classed as uncultivated. ,
Of; the total of 84.254 1 acres, held by
Americans, about 17,000 are used for
pasture. The total area of Mindanao is
about 84,000 square miles.
English Wool Clip
Is Handled Promptly
At a recent meeting of the central
advisory committee on wool purchase
for England and Wales for the 1917
season, the - controller . of wool supplies
announced that the year's return had
been highly satisfactory. Normally the
collection of t the clip entails nine months,
whereas this year 91 per cent of the
clip has already been dealt wUh in
England, and the Scotch and welsh
clips, while delayed owing to lateness of
shearing, are being expedited, in collec
tion. The Weekly Wool. Chart -states
that during the first 15 weeks of the
scheme 69,600,000 pounds of wool were
purchased and payment made to the
grower,, an Increase of 19,000,000 pounds
over the corresponding , period of -191$.
The census return, registered 140,168
growers of wool, all of whom were dealt
with individually by the department
Of these. 113,144, or 81 per cent, have
already received final payment.-

Feeling of Confidence Being Es
tablished With Latin America,
Says Government Agent.
That Americans can ship lumber to
South' America without quarrels' and
disputes with, their Latin customers
seems proven by the fact that Aulglaa
fir from the Taclflo coast Is sold In
large quantities to, Chile and Peru, with
practically no mcuon over grsaes ana
measurements. .. -- ;--t
This satisfactory condition of af
fairs,' says Special Agent Roger K. Sim
mons, in a report written for the bu
reau of foreign and domestic commerce,
department of commerce, "has resulted
In a 'feeling of confidence In American
products and cordiality toward Ameri
can exporters that le of the greatest
possible value to American trade as
a whole." - -,,
Chile and Peru are the two big mar
kets, although the lumber Imported .by
those two countries Is almost exclusively
Douglas fir. - ' '
Practically all the lumber Imported
by Colomblicand Veneiuela comes from
the United States, -but the amounts are
smalt 2.000,000 board feet annually for
Colombia and 1.600,000 feet for Vene
suela. The limited use of wood in both
countries (the total consumption Is only
IS.000,000 feet In Colombia and 1.000.000
feet in Venezuela.) in comparison with
cement and other materials, points to
the need of a lumber-advertising cam
paign, through which these market J
might be greatly extended, says the re
port. - X " V '
Old Paper Shipments
Rejected by.Ohinese
Old newspapers are. exported from the
United States to Hongkong, and to other
parts of the Far Bast through Hong
kong, in large quantities; but recent
practices of a few firm. In the United
States engaged In the trade have re
sulted In considerable loss to Hongkong
importers, 'and there Is danger at the
present time that this trade will "be de
stroyed. One Hongkong house alone re
port that so tar this year it has im
ported such paper, to the value of over
$226,000 goio.
These papers are Imported for wrap
ping purposes, and to meet the needs of
thee market It la necessary that they be
whole and of standard-to-large else. In
some recent consignments, however,
bales have been found to contain old
magazines and even old clothing, shoes
and other waste. A shipment to Saigon
through Hongkong and tor account of
a Hongkong firm was found to be so
badly mixed with all sorts of waste that
the Chinese . conoerns for which the
paper had been Imported refused to ac
cept the shipment even aftpr allowance.

the 8mlth-Powsrs company was making

man who works for six months receive
at the end of the time s premium of 10
per cent of the wages earned in the pe

a premium of' t por-cent.
For the same grade of work wages
are about the same all over the North

while they are used extensively east of
the range. So It Is difficult to make
comparisons between loggers wages tn
the two sections.
Just before coming to Wallowa county

Germans Who Have Been' Btock-

Have to Suffer Internment -
,The government has been most toler
ant with German spies and sympathisers
in the United States since ths declaration
bf war. It has only acted upon positive
proof of . wrongdoing. Many suspicious
eases have merely been taken under
surveiUanoe. But so frequently doe s
evidence develon of a ooiveortad nlan of
Paction on the part of the alien enemies
and German sympathisers la this coun
try that the government is said to have ,
resolved upon a drastlo course, say
the Revalue of fieUinghaav
Aliea enemies will soon be required
to register as a step towards rid ding
the country of all who can or would
hamper the nation, la it war plana, It
will also Intern, la an probability, men
who are causing disturbances in the -shipbuilding
plant. . munition tact arte.
on the railways and elsewhere where
such disturbance interrupt businesses
that are auxiliary to the government
la its war activities. ; ,
. Such action, though delayed. Is re
eesary else. serious consequences may '
result. No government can afford,
when 1t is at war. to wink at treason
In any form. There must be seme Iron
rules. IMsturbers must be. restrained,
and If they are not restrained the war
will bo prolonged and thereby cease a
needless sacrifice of life and ot wealth.
Te tho end that the government's
purpose la this respect shall be carried
out with swiftness and with thorough
boss, every pa trio Uo dtlsea should re-
port .to federal officials every , act
against the government, whether It be
criminal de facto or criminal la ltd
possibilities. Even aa otherwise harm-
lass remark may be serious if made in
time of war because sedition breeds
more sedition ; disloyalty noourage'
dialoyalty, and treasonable speech, and
action make traitors. All who : are
guilty ot Interfering directly, or tndl-
rectly with those Industries of tho coun
try . mat 'are uevoxoa io we carry in s
out ot war contracts should bo placed
where they cannot continue their opera'
tlona. Taev are enemies lust aa much
aa are the minions ot the kaiser wbcf
are resisting the United States and Its '
allies wtui their arms, to permit tnent
to go trawhlpped of justice in such a '
time fa to place a premium upon war
time treason and sedition, a thing tha
la Intolerable In any country. ' . "
