Se cdevenecercevoesseces iteeecseecese MARCH 9, 1904 THE ORIENTAL TRADE Na somewhat acrimonious debate in the Senate, a few days ago, Senator Hale: stated that the Oriental trade isa matter of small importance, but then he spoke from the point of view of a Maine man. Had he beenja representative of California he would have thought differently. Eastern manufacturers and shippers are shortsighted enough to view with apprehension the growing commercial importance of California, an importance due largely to the rapid increase of the Oriental trade, and are making efforts to: retard it. That this unfriendliness and jealousy are not matters of imagination was shown by the recent open attempts of the hemp manufacturers to secure legislation which would prevent the development of a hemp manufacturing industry in California. To Maine, the Oriental trade is, as Senator Hale says, a mattcr of small importance. It can hardly be expected to even affect the shipbuilding interests of that State, But to California it is a matter of the greatest value and is so recognized. Within the past decade the proportional increase of the Pacific Coast commerce has been far greater than that of any other part of the United States and is rapidly growing. Two enormous steamers have just been added tothe already large China fleets in order to handle the growing business, and further additions are already urgently needed. Last week the big Pacific Mail dock in San Francisco was so greatly crowded with freight that an arriving steamer was obliged to discharge elsewhere. With these evidences before-our eyes, observes the Oakland Enquirer, it is easy to realize that Senator Hale is.lacking in knowledge when he discusses the Oriental trade. av, evveveynre OAL EST to the Better Land Beyond. John Campbell, a pioneer resident of this city, passed away this forenoon shortly after ten o’clock at his residence on Piety Hill. He had been in failing health for several months past, and most of the time he was confined to his bed. The ravages of a complication of diseases andermined_hie erect and manly frame, and for the last few weeks his death was expected from day to day. Everything that medical ecience could devise and all that fond relatives could give in the way of constant care marked the sad time of his illness. The parting time had come, however, and his noble spirit winged ite way to a better land above. The deceased settled on Gold Flat in 1858, and was actively engaged in mining up to the time he was taken ill, Along in the early ’60’s he moved with his family to hig late home ‘on Piety Hill, and by bis exemplary qualities of bead and heart he always held the highest eeteem of a lage circle of friends. His name was a household word for trath, honesty and integrity. It may well be said of him, that he was 8 fond and loving husband and a kind and indulgent father. He ever cherished kindly pride of. heart for his own circle,and in his passing a void therein has been made that never will be filled. The vacant chair will always be a mute reminder to those he loved so well, and his kindly voice and familar footfalle will no more echo the coming of the absent one tothoseto whom he was all io all. Besides his wife, the deceased leaves two daughters, Mrs. Jennie McLaugblin and Misa Lillie Campbell, and one sop, Jobn J, Campbell, to mourn hie loss, The deceased was a native of county Donegal, Ireland, aud eged 64 years, 9 months and 21 days.

THE DANGER TO RUSSIA EORGE KENNAN, who gained most of his reputation by a series of magazine articles describing the convict system of Siberia, ison his way to Japan to act as a war correspondent, As is to be expected, he sets forth on this work with firmly fixed ideas on the subject, and those ideas are not favorable to Russia. Kennan has been severe! y criticised for his stories of Russian barbarities and has been accused of having resorted to exaggerations for sensational effects. But whether this be true or not, he undoubtediy knows more about the character of the Russians and the nature of their country than moégt of those selected to describe the present struggle, and his opinion ig worthier of consideration. } According to his belief, the present war was forced on Russia by those who hoped to profit from the acquisition of new territory. The Czar and the nobles add to their possessions and wealth by every extension of Russian boundar;, and the incentive for these extensions is consequently very strong. The common people and the natives of the annexed territories are sacrificed, but the ruling classes become constantly richer and more powerful. Kennan believes that Russia is fighting for a great stake in the present war. Not alone are the possessions of Manchuria and Asiatic prestige involved, but possibly the safety of the empire itself, for he says that Poland and Finland are only awaiting their opportunity and would gladly join with the many dissatisfied subjects of the Czar to rise in revolt, should the Asiatic struggle end disastrously for Russia.

HOLBROOK, Oorner of Pine and Commercial Streets, Nevada City, Cal, 028-tf CARPENTERS IN INDIA, Whey Are Careless Abowg Measure. ments, Tools and Time, The chief faults of the Indian car penter are his neglect of accurate measurement, his carelessness with re gard to the efficiency of his tools and his lack of perception of the value of time as a factor in the execution of work. He has also to be taught to occupy his mind with the work in band and as much as possible to exclude other subjects. For example, the making of a Jack plane involves the choice of the wood. considerations ds to size, the angle of the blade and its cutting edge, the wedge and its holding power, the handle and finally the operation of planing. All these operations are capable of very simple explanation, and this exercise provokes an emulation among students while exercising their reasoning powers. No Indian workman buys a plane. He buys the blade and makes the rest, but he rarely makes it well. He buys a saw blade and makes the handle, and, generally speaking, he spends the smallest possible sum on his outfit in spite of the extra labor the economy involves. He must therefore be taught to make as many labor saving tools as pessible and to make them well. He has to be taught the use and repair of a grindstone and’ how to mount it in wood without metal fiteven twenty articles exactly He rarely knows what size of or screw to use on a given job.

HOLBROOK, Oorner of Pine and Commercial Streets, Nevada City, Cal, 028-tf CARPENTERS IN INDIA, Whey Are Careless Abowg Measure. ments, Tools and Time, The chief faults of the Indian car penter are his neglect of accurate measurement, his carelessness with re gard to the efficiency of his tools and his lack of perception of the value of time as a factor in the execution of work. He has also to be taught to occupy his mind with the work in band and as much as possible to exclude other subjects. For example, the making of a Jack plane involves the choice of the wood. considerations ds to size, the angle of the blade and its cutting edge, the wedge and its holding power, the handle and finally the operation of planing. All these operations are capable of very simple explanation, and this exercise provokes an emulation among students while exercising their reasoning powers. No Indian workman buys a plane. He buys the blade and makes the rest, but he rarely makes it well. He buys a saw blade and makes the handle, and, generally speaking, he spends the smallest possible sum on his outfit in spite of the extra labor the economy involves. He must therefore be taught to make as many labor saving tools as pessible and to make them well. He has to be taught the use and repair of a grindstone and’ how to mount it in wood without metal fiteven twenty articles exactly He rarely knows what size of or screw to use on a given job.
