There will be no rush of adventur- |
ers to the new fields for exploitation
opened up by th»- Japan»»» occupation
of Russian Saghallen, according to Mr.
Murakami, chief of the fishery bureau
of the department of agriculture and
cuunneice, who la quoted In the Yo-
niluri:
"None except tlu-»o who really mean
business and are In a position to «<•
rtousiy transact business will find any
plate for them III Sughnllcn." said M
Murakami. “All rights there are in
the hands of the military command
and anyone thnj wants to go there
t ow must obtain a penult from the
war office, Certainly the forests there
will yield plenty of wiwm I pulp anil
other raw nintertnl, while there are
rich coal mines and possibly oil wells.
Rut the chief product of that region Is
the output of the fisheries.”
Speaking of the fishing rights In Sag
bn lien, Mr. Murakami said that after
consultation with the army command
an auction was conducted at Niko-
lalevsk for those rights over whh-h the
army command Is nbls to furnish pro­
tection. No detailed report of the auc­
tion has been receljrd. The bidders
had to file their applications with a
de|H»slt to guarantee their good faith,
and they had to be persona who were
quallfitsl by long experience In fish
erles in thnt neighborhood.
The Youilurl says tint many repu
table business establishments have ’
been bolding back from enterprises in
Saghallen for fear of the competition ■
of adveuturers and the hurt their rep
utatlons might suffer In a mad scram
ble for rights and concessions.—Japan J

No one appreciates the growth and development of the State
of Oregon more than the Public Utilities who serve it and supply
the telephone, gas, electric and transportation facilities whiMi pro­
mute the business of the State and the welfare of its people. Proof
of that growth is scarcely necessary. The statistics published
daily in the press, showing bank, clearings, building jierniits. im­
ports and exports, real estate transfers, all bear testimony to a
tremendous business activity and a volume of trade far in excess
of that of five years ago.
With all this growth and activity there has been an increasing
demand for telephone service—greater thau our present facilities
can supply and greater than our present revenue will allow us to
meet. During the present year we have handled in excess of 48,-
000 orders for telephone service in the State of Oregon and at the
present time hav e 3500 unfilled orders on hand.
The constant demand for telephone service can only be con­
tinuously met with a plant sufficient for present needs and a re­
serve for growth which will permit of prdmptly handling installa­
tions. changes and moves. This Company has no apology to offer
for what it has accomplished in the way of meeting the demand
for telephone service during and since the war. It is a record to lie
proud of—but it cannot continue to meet this demand with its
present facilities exhausted and a deficit in its earnings.
Arrangements must be made for the necessary plant and
equipment to keep pace with Oregon’s tremendous growth. We
want the people of Oregon to realize our present situation and the
problems now confronting us and help us to take a proper part in
the development of the State.

Cardinal's Hat Symbol of Office.
The peculiarity of the cardinal's hat
Is that tt Is not to be worn. On one
occasion only Is It to be seen on the
head of the cardinal, and that Is when
the pope himself places It there as a
symbol of Its owner's elevation to the
Sacred college. When the cardinal dies
it Is placed In /i!s eofltn. The hat Is
of a deeper red than that of the robe
worn by the cardinal.
It has long
heavy silken cords, each with 15 tas­
sels at the end, hanging on either side.
The crimson robes which, like the hat.
denote the cardinal's office, are made
of cloth which for several generations
past has been supplied by a flrm of
cloth merchants at Burtscheld. near
Alx-ia-Chapelle. The process by which
the dye Is distilled Is a Jealously
guarded secret.
Trade With Australia Grow».
Trading between this country and
Australia Is showing a healthy growth,
according to figures supplied to the de­
partment of commerce by A. W. Fer­
rin, trade commissioner, who Is at Mel­
bourne. They cover Imports and ex­
port« for the first quarter of the cur­
rent year, and show the Imports dur­
ing that period to have been about
$27,775.000. against exports to this
country of approximately $10.350,000.
February exports nearly equaled in
value the totals for January and
March, and In that month the outgoing
shipments exceeded the Imports. In
the same month, however, the value of
the Imports was less than half of the
goods brought in during March.

WE ARE NOW SELLING
Official statistics for the fiscal year
1920 demonstrate that this country
has been able to keep Its trade In
chemical and allied products very near
the high mark set during the war, de­
spite the lows of markets for purely
war supplies and despite the pressing
demands that must be met In the do­
mestic market.
Such Is the conclusion reached by
O. I*. Hopkins, a well-known statis­
tician, writing In the Journal of Indus­
trial and Engineering Chemistry.
“In almost all lines except muni­
tions.” he writes, “the exports In 1920
exceeded In value those of 1918, a fact
that can be explained In some cases,
perhaps, by rising prices, buf which
nevertheless warrants the assertion
that the position lias not been weak­
ened. These exports, which very
greatly exceed those of the last nor­
mal pre war year, are made up almost
entirely of manufactured products.
“Imports have more than held their
own and comprise raw and partly man­
ufactured products required for ftir
ther advancement by American chem­
ical manufacturera.'

“Lotus Eaters."
Few flowers have been more Identi­
fied with the world's history than the
mysterious lotus of Egypt. The phrase
"lotua eaters” Is a common one'In lit­
erature, and Is used to describe those
who live In a dream world. The food
made from the dried seeds of the
Egyptian variety seems to have hud
an effect similar to various opium
products, and once In the clutch of the
drug the lotus eaters forgot both past
and family, and went mooning aleiut,
oblivious of demands made by society,
kin, or even their own physical wants.
