ORE.. JUNE 7., ....1912 The answer to an outside establish- metit that sougbt printing in Portland - was, "The city of Portland does not go outside of its own city for anything in the printing line." Still, says the Journal, there are Portlaoders who go eaEt for fnrnltare and draperies. There are Portlanders who seijd east for clothing, millinery and other at tire. In numerous lines many are wont to bny abroad the things eatiily obtainable at home. The profit to the dealer and the wage for the work man tbev thus bestow upon outaide dealers, anil outside workmen. The way to stimulate the establishment of industries in Oregon is to bay iLings made in Oregon. That method invites new capital. It affoids wages and employment for mote labor, skilled and unskilled. It sends more money through the channels of iudnstry and trade. Wo raise mote than fourteen million pounds of wool every year. But we ship almost all of it to Boston, and bny later the finished fabrics, paying the transportation cost twice noross the continent; paying a profit to Boston capital, paying wages to Boston textile workers and, in addi tion, keeping oapital end skilled labor out of Oregon. We do not even use out own geological materia), but toy it elsewhere. We imported $12,000 000 worth of geological products in 1911 and. as shown ty the Oregon bureau of mints, we could hove niau uftotured Bt lsnst $8,000,000 or $9,000,000 of it at home affording a profit to Orcg in capital and wages to Oregon labor. Intead we bought California made products and Wash ington made products giving the profit to Ualifuruia and Washington capital and wiirus to California und Washing ton labor. In addition we inaieused the ooHt of theno produots to ourselves by paying freight charges over long dirttuueos oa niuterials that we could have made at home aud saved the freight ohurgos. Wn are extravagant in the rood Iuhkuohs with whioti wo lavish our money on oulmde munufao turers and outside wolkiilguiuu.

Edmiatou, the banker, has also dem onstrated bis ability in like manner. Most of tbe states have now elected their delegates to tbe national conven tions. There has been a whirlwind campaign waged in most of the states and nothing has gone by default. Many states, particularly in the south, have sent contesting delegations. For the republican delegations to be held at Chioago on tbe 18th already the politicians are arriving aud 100,000 applications for seats have been tiled. Not so long agoTncles replaced hors es in draft work on many ot tbe big farms of Umatilla county. Now the mule is being oalled upon to give way to tbe gasolene traction engine.

MUSIC AND MISERY. -A Aches and Palna With Whioh Per formers Have to Contend. Pianist's cramp is more pnlnful than writer's cramp and is tho bane of all. virtuosos. It la caused by tbe constant contraction and expansion of the mus-: clcs controlling the fingers. It becomes chronic when not guarded against, and many a promising virtuoso's career has been blighted in tbl3 way. The only remedy is to rest the overtaxed mus cles nnd then work them up gradually to meet tbe strain of constant playing. All concert pianists are subject to split finger tips. The constant stroke of the balls of the fingers on the hard ivory makes tbe flesh so delicate nnd tender that frequently playing becomes acute agony. Violinists suffer a great deal of pbys- leal inconvenience. Most of us have an idea that tho violin is held against tbe neck and shoulder by the player's1 loft hand, which grasps tbe arm of the instrument. All great violin teachers insist that tho left band be left en tirely free, and to achieve this the vio lin is nctuolly held by tho plover's chin. In this attitude Ills head is held in n distorted position, and this, work ing against the elevation of the left arm and shoulder, causes compression of the heart oud lungs and curvature of the spine. Performers on wind Instruments suf fer muuy Inconveniences, nnd In sonic Instances their work lends to perma nent physical disability. Hullmr paral ysis from continued use of the tongue and lips Is an ever present danger. I.)octors have a fearsome name for the commonest result of wind playing. In pluln language It is ovciilistentioh of the lungs. This stretching of the lungs from constantly heavy lu!lntiou leads to engorgement of the blood In the right cavities of tho henrt, nnd this produces dilution of the heart and hy pertrophy. Mental peculiarities of oboe players ore traditional In the orchestral world, in spite of the fact that most oboo players are normal. Some explain thnt the oboo player Is mentally nft'ected by tho fact that he Is forced to blow through an exceedingly small upertnro and the expiration Is unusually pro longed. Others Insist that the peculiar ly melancholy quality of the tone pro duced und the Invariable character of tho music written for the oboe are re sponsible for any peculiarities display ed by its executants. After this somewhat grewsome re cital it Is cheering to know -that one instrument nt least can be counted oi to bring health nnd longevity to tbt3e who practice It. This Is the tlute. Doc tors recommend Jt for Incipient con sumptives, as the operation of playing the Instrument involves the precis motion of the lungs of most benefit to tho consumptlvo-that Is, full inspira tion, not too full or strained, followed by slow and gentle delivery of the brenth.-John Warren In Washington Star.
