The last batch of consular reports sent to the state department contains, as the flan FrA.nr(fUn Call snows, tnnrn Minn average number of valuabl. suggestions concernin the extension of AmBrlrn trade. One of the most interesting dis closures is imade by Consul Kemmlcr at Horgen, Switzerland. He says: "Per sonal solicitation by members of firms or their authorized agents is more likely to tesult ln establishing permanent connec tions and effecting substantial and satis factory transactions than any other method that anight be employed." Cur iously enough, a similar opinion comes from many other American consuls sta tioned in various parts of Europe. Ger many Is ahead of us In this respect, for by the employment of skillful salesmen she Is crowding England in South Amer ica, China and Japan, While America is practically out of the fight, making hard- ly any effort apart from the excellence of her products. ' "a8 recently tieen tested at the Water It stents strango that the United States town arsena1' " Is a disappearing gun which enjoys a domestic trado almost l'ttrrlae. mounted. The carriage, which wholly dependent upon the labors of com- ls 'bullt for an 8-lnch gun, weighs when mereial travelers, has never thought to mounted about 61 tons, and can be easily t-utlix these wonderfully shrewd und active traversed or elevated in any desired posi- men into foreign countries, in every' thing else American manufacturers (ill p.ay a commendable understanding of the factors Which contribute to tho success of forlgn trade. They are particularly upt in adapting their wares to the needs and tastes of the various foreign coun- tries which they supply, and they have developed the salesman Into an instru- mentality of Indispensable usefulness. Why not send him abroad? Chicago boa demonstrated the superior- ity of its commercial sense ovor that ot New York by capturing the trade ot Mexico, which California should have se cured, and California has demonstrated the wisdom of pushing out a market In the great success which has rewarded its efforts In the Eastern States. For ah practical trado purposes Chicago and New York are foreign countries to California, for the span of the continent ls a more formidable barrier between California and the East than Is tho Atlantic ocean be tween iNew York and1 Europe. California Is the peculiar center of a world of its own. It la accessible by regulur lines of transportation to nearly every country ln the world, and is far distant from all of them, including the one of which it Is ai part. Its products, however, are ais peculiar as Its geographical position, and the competition which It would en counter In a struggle for an extension of Us consuming area ls exceedingly small In comparison with that which must exist between the Eustern States and 'Europe. The rewards of efforts to secure such extension would be corre spondingly great. ' There appears to be no better opening for sharp, shrewd and energetic Ameri can salesmen that is afforded by the opportunity of building up a foreign de mand for suchi Oregon products as will bear long periods of time consumed in transportation. It would be dllllcult to Imagine these Indefatigaoie and cour ageous gentleman dismayed by any of the difficulties which the encountering ot strange conditions might c route. Tho sound currency committee of New York has published by permission ot Put nam' Sons, the owners of the copyright, a chapter from Mr. Shaw's book treating of bimetallism In 'France. It is there con clusively shown "that Franc utterly failed in her attempt at bimetallism; that the result was a century of mono- metalllsm alternately of gold and silver; that her public and private finances wero repeatedly demoralized by the strain thus put upon them; that the com mercial ratio between gold and sil ver was not 'steadier' or apparent ly affected at all by France's action; that she was drained alternately of gold and sliver according as one or the other metal 'Wat rated at a lower value m alt coinage ratio man in me raio fixed by commerce: and that France her- telf has fully appreciated this for the last twenty years the United States having apparently been the only place where there has existed any general Impression that bimetallism had been successfully exploited' ln France." According to a statement contained In a report made to the state department by Commercial Agent tMurphy, of Lux emburg, the projected convention looking to the control of the petroleum markets of the world between the Noble Brothers, of Russia and th Standard Oil Com pany, of the United States, has received a decided- set-bick. Ir. Murphy quotes un ariirt. In the local press there, which says that owing to tho advance made t;y nu:i:.!aii p.-tro'n-um. tho roneluxinn ot the convention has Owen delayed. The article in question calls attention to i table in the weekly Journal of the Rug. sian ministry of 'finance, in which the supplying capacities of the Jiusslun und American petroleum Industries were corn- Dared. The action of the minister of finance in delaying the conclusion of contract with the Standard OH Company was made known in the same issue. Russian petroleum exporters were at that time inclined to content themselves with the right to supply 26 (per cent of the world's markets, but as it was becoming more and more apparent that the Russian Industry was already abio to compete on equal terms with the 'American company, In the world's markets, the minister de clined) to sanction that arrangement. The Russian merchants wero advised to learn from the Americans how to manipulate the markets, to use similar means for holding foreign trade, to push ahead re- gardless of consequences, and not to be frightened by a temporary fall in prices. Major C. N. Clark, whose interview on the subject of Columbia river improve ments and the Astoria harbor we have the pleasure of reproducing from' yes terday's Oregonlan, 4s a recognized au thorlty throughout the 'Mississippi Val ley on ail questions or waterway and railway improvements. He has frequent ly appeared before special committees ap pointed by the legislatures of the states along the Mississippi river in the capac lty of expert witness and authority on these questions, besides serving on nu mcrous state and Inter-eta'te commissions having In charge such Improvements, and his ideas have been repeatedly adopted and put Into practice by the general gov ernment in the 'work done on the Mis slsslppl river from Minnesota to Louis iana, rt is understood that the solid dfe:catIon ln congress of the Mississippi Va'Jey Bta,tcs wl" ,n the Interests of the Improvements now in progress along their own grsait river, urge Major Clark's op polntment on the new river and harbor committee, and he will' unquestionably become one of its most useful and dis tinguished members. It is gratifying to know that Major Clark will tuko back east with him a fund of valuaible data and Information, gleaned from his own observation and experience, vhich will enaibln him to act lnteligently and under otandlngly on all questions pertaining to the commercial interests of Oreson and the states of the Northwest. A unique invention, perfected by Capt; William Crozier of Sandy Hook and Col. ,ufflnK''- f the Rock Island arsenal, tion. The Idea of the carriage ls to tiro. toct the gun and the men from tho enemy. The gun ls loaded and sighted from be hind Its parapet anil ls exposed to the tire of the enemy but a few .seconds while it is being fired.

The Boston Transcript has boon In formed on good authority that while the Columbia beat the record of any other warship In crossing the ocean the real tost of its oceun crossing speed remains to 'be niado. Its Informant uys It could have done better If its commandor hu been willing to do what was done lately by the captain of a trans-Atlantic liner namely: kill e. iflremuu In his effort to got tho greatest speed but of his ship. As naval officers 'have more Boul than the agents of great ship-owning corporations there ls no likelihood of such a test at present. Tho Transcript aptly says: "It trans-iAtlantlc liners will kill a man for an extra hour off the record, and men-of-war will not, we must await a time of war for an actual' test of the utmost speed on a long run; for then it Is deemed right and patriotic to sacrifice lives,", AN'OTHulit SUGGESTION. Association of Real Estate Won Instead cf Exchange. Astoria, August 80, ISiij. Editor Astorlan: Since there has been a great deal ot duscusslon through your valuable co4 umns regarding a real estate exchange for Astoria, I beg, before any steps tow ard owanlzutlon have been taken, to submit a icw Ideas for tho consideration of your readers. It is my opinion that It .would be mistake to organize a real estate ex-chance-hut I do think there should be an organization of real estate men, and business men generally, for that matter. for the purpose of advancing the city's Interest by means of systematic adver tising throughout the country. It might be called a 'bureau of advertis ing." or "Information." The one aim, however, no mutter y what name the or- gan'IzaUlon .mltihU 'be known, must be to moke Astoria the best known city of the m-eeent day. in the whole United States. To do 'this it will take money, and to obtain the money, it is necessary that those most interested In tho future pros perity of our city shall associate tnem' lvcs toircthcr and work ln harmony. If Astoria. Is to become a city ot any prominence; if she is to rival her pro gressive neighbors on the Sound, she , w,. n i.tnjrt a wmII known as ,hoga bU8tnn(r and enterprising cities. It i rrin.nii:a to suinose that no one Interested In Tacoma, Seattle, or Port land is srolnir to ive any material as sistance to an effort to advertise As toria, and ft Is Just as reasonable to suppose that no one man in Astoria is going to take tne single las oi uuing It, upon h'is own ehouldres. Tho. Cham ber of Comtmerve could have done it, and might do so yet. Still It Is more than oorbable that It will not. It is far easier to form a new organisation with a sin gle purpose, than to resurrect an old corpse that failed to revive simply for want ot the necessary ambition. If an organisation can be effected for the pur poses outlined above. It should be done without a moment's delay. E. Tho V. S. Gov't Reports sAoiv Royal Baking Powder superior to nil others.
