THE MOUSING OKEGON1AN, THURSDAY, "AUGUST 28, 1902. 11 TEA GROWN HERE Oregon Climate Adapted to Culture of Oriental Plant. THRIVES IN ROGUE RIVER VALLEY High Price of Labor Is the Only Drawback to Development of Kerr Indaatry Which. Joiv Flour ishes in the South. The tea plants which the Southern Pacific distributed In Rogue River valley appear to be hale and hearty. The latest Information from, there Is that they are growing, "but there Is no record of more than a hatful harvest of the leaves, eo that the infant industry Is yet In Its swaddling clothes. Oregon Is believed to be well adapted climatically to the culture of tea. The only handicap to the industry Is the high price of labor in Oregon as com pared with that in Oriental countries and in .the Southern states, where colored children work the fields at low cost. Climatic conditions in Japan, in which the tea plant thrives, are very much like those of Oregon. Allan Cameron, Agent at Hong Kons for the Portland & Aelatlo Steamship Company, wrote sever al months ago that he thought the pro ject for Southern Oregon a good one. Tho tea plant is not affected adversely iy the rigors of Oregon climate. On the icampus of the State Agricultural College at Corvallls Is & plant which has thrived its present environment for 10 years. For the past 10 years at Summervllle, South Carolina, tea culture has been carried on with come degree of success. iThis success has been due to the moist, easy climate of that district and to the .cheapness of colored labor. Negro school -children are engaged, and as the work is oln the open air, is not severe, and aids trather than retards education, consid erable success has been attained. The Department of Agriculture has taken an 4nterest In the industry and has planted several experimental tea gardens In the .South. Abundance of rain is essential .to the growth of the plants, so that If scarcity of labor were not an obstacle too great to overcome, other districts In Oregon than Rogue River might support thrifty tea gardens. Mrs. Edith Tosler Weatherred, Oregon Commissioner to the Buffalo and Charles ton Expositions, visited the tea planta tion at Summervllle, S; C, last Winter and collected data about the Industry. The plantation Is owned by Dr. Charles V. Sheperd. He has 50 acres of plants under successful growth. Ten years ago he began on a very small scale. In order to meet the labor obstacle he started a school in which colored chil dren were instructed in the cultivation of tea and the picking of the leaves, and bIbo in regular public school work. These children became so familiar with tea leaves that now they can grade them with remarkable skill. The best soil for tea culture Is that of pine woods and of black sand and clay. It has to be deeply plowed. The plants are set about six feet apart. The cost of setting out tea seedlings and of raising and plucking the crop varies from $25 to $50 per acre, according to whether foreign seeds are used. In estab lishing a large tea estate the initial ex pense is the heaviest, but the plantation is good practically for all time. The best Japanese tea Is said to be from bushes 200 ytars old. The. Plhehurst tea plantation" has proved that tea can be raised success fully for commercial uses. Some of Ito teas are considered better flavored than' the hest Oriental. The tea plant can stand climate when the thermometer falls half a degree below zero, and the plants are not affected by enow. It is said that the choicest brands come from climates whose temperature falls below 32 degrees. "Liast year the freezing was quite severe at the Plnehurst plantation," said Mrs. "Weatherred yesterday. "Dr. Sheperd was compelled to prune his plants close to the ground, but he said that the new shoots firoduced a quality and abundance of eaves far beyond Tils expectation. "The demand for green tea Is growing in the United Stages. A large amount of tea is Imported which is of an Inferior leaf, highly colored with Prussian blue and finished with powdered soapstonc, and Is exceedingly unhealth As yet green tea can only be made by hand labor, and a cheap Oriental labor at that.- Thus it seems that there is an opportunity for this industry In favored localities of the United .States. "It Is the opinion of Dr. Sheperd""that the Southern Oregon country is particu larly adapted to the culture of tea. In South Carolina, while the climatic condi tions are favorable, the soil requires much artificial fertilization. .Dr. Sheperd also says that In a country where flowers bloom as they do In Oregon through the Winter there Is no reason why the people can not have hedges of tea plants or bushes In their flower gardens. He thinks the in dustry could be started here in an experi mental way, which would soon develop." NAMES ARE ALL RIGHT. Bat for a Decade They Will Be Halo Coitus Wa-Wn to Chlnooka Hawaiian Gazette.

McVeigh, who returned Tuesday night from Molokal, reports the concluding game in the baseball series to be one of the hottest on record. Six games had been played by the Kalaupapas and Ka lawaos, each having won an even num ber, and Saturday's game was to decide the winner of the $20 prize. Tho game Saturday was hotly contested all the way through, and at the beginning of the ninth Inning stood 9 to 9, with darkness fast approaching. After the Kalaupapas had had their turn at the bat without scoring, the captain of that team began to compla.ln of 'the darkness. The first ball pitched to the Kalawaos netted two bases, and then the captain of the Ka laupapas insisted that the game be called. The team which will play ball against Maul will be the same as that which met the All-Maul team here Monday last, with the exception of Meyer, of the Puna hous, who will play third base. Julian Yates, of the Mauls, now here, will make the trip to take his former position at ehort. PERSONAL MENTION. J. I.- Carson is at tho Imperial from Baker .City. J. F.

"Trolley Jolt" the Lateat Disease. Philadelphia North American. "Trolley jolt" Is the latest disease. It is so new that physician? In Philadelphia and vicinity, where tho malady has ap P3ared. has not yet found a medical name for it. "Trolley Jolt," it Is said. Is caused by the jolting of trolley cars. Its victims are conductors and motormen. It is noth ing more than a weak stomach, produced; by Jolting car and nervousness on the part of the victims.- Every now and then a motorman goes to a hospital broken down in health. It is usually found that he Is suffering from a disordered stomach ahd nervousness. This is caused by the Jarring of the cars and the handling of the jerky airbrakes. The conductors creak down under the strain of keeping their equilibrium in Jolting cars. It remained for doctors at New Castle, Del., to name the disease the "trolley Jolt." A New Castle motorman Is now In a hospital suffering from the malady. Mr. Watternon Is Wise. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

CURTIS SAYS FIXAJECIER. HAS WORKED TOO HARD. "The Pace That Kills" Worry Over Inability to Carry Through I1U Pet Scheme Causes a Break. NEW YORK. Aug: 2L (W. E. Curtis' letter to Chicago Record-Herald.) Charles M. Schwab, one of the wonders or modern industry and finance, wno nas gone to pieces, Is off for Europe today for rest and repairs. There has been a great deal about him and his illness in the papers lately, and considerable con tradiction and conjecture, but the plain facts are that ho has been running un der too great a pressure for a year or more, and has broken down. His com plaint is described in long words by the doctors, and it is one that never troubles poor men or men who live regular lives. It Is called nervous prostration when women get It. It Is the result of over work and worry, and In discussing the causes and consequences. Mr. Schwab's TO REPRESENT UNITED STATES AT HAGUE TRIBUNAL WILLIAM L. WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. William L. Penfleld. solicitor of the State Depart ment, has gone to The Hague to represent the United States Government before tha arbitration tribunal, which la to meet on September 5 to eettle th controversy between tho United States and Mexico over "th pious fund of the Calif or nlas." The four arbitrators are all members of the permanent tribunal of arbi tration which was provided for by The Hague conference. They are to eelect & fifth arbitrator or umpire, who will have the deciding vote. This case la re garded with a great dealof Interest by all the powers, .because It is tho first to .come before the permanent tribunal, and will in a measure serve as a test of tho efficiency and necessity of such a body. particular friends ascribe it to the anxiety add mortification he has suffered because of the opposition to his scheme to con vert" a lot of preferred stock of the steel trust into bonds. You will remember that , he proposed to do this, and that a syndi cate of underwriters was to undertake tlje "financing" of the project for a lib eral commission. The proposition was severely criticised in the newspapers, and on tho street; it was resisted by some of the heaviest holders of tho securities of the trust; many of the dissatisfied threw large quan tities pf stock upon the market, which Mr. Schwab was compelled to support, and finally the Vice-Chancellor of New Jersey Intervened arid prevented the con summation of the deal. It was Schwab's first great failure, but he considered It a "throw-down," and In his disappointment and humiliation bitterly reproached for mer friends whose support he expected, but did not receive. Those who aro familiar with his condi tion say that Schwab ordinarily is not so sensitive as he has shown himself to be In this case; that he I has the hide of a bull, and was never, suspected of having such a thing as a nervous system among his assets, but he was very badly hurt by events which he would have passed over without winking a few years ago. Hence they argue something is wrong with him, and the collapse might have been post poned, but it could not have been pre vented had be been spared the anxiety of the. disappointment he suffered on this, occasion, and it was bound to come soon er or later; he lived too fdst and worked too hard; the pressure was kept up too long, was sure to find the place of weak ness in his constitution, and "something' was bound to bust." Mr. Schwab Is one of the most remark able men of the generation, but Is not well balanced. He has shown extraordinary ability both as a technical expert and as an executive, as a salesman, as an or ganizer and as a financier. He has tre mendous energy and lndurance, both phys ical and mental; a "ten-thousand horse power dynamo," as one of hia subordinates described him tireless, irresistible, com prehensive and far-sighted, an Industrial genius, so much so that one of the con ditions which Mr. Carnegie Insisted upon when he consented to put his great works in the trust was that Mr. Schwab should have the management of the new com bination, for he considered him the great est industrial master he had ever known. But with all this talent and capacity Schwab lacked some of the most Import ant essentials for a successful man. He does not possess the moral fiber, nor the poise, nor the tact, nor the discretion, nor the sense of propriety, nor the philosophy of Mr. Morgan. Mr. Carnegie, Mr. Rocke feller, Mr. Stlllman. Mr. Hill. Mr. Perkins and other of the great men of the financial and industrial world. Of the humblest origin, without educa" tlon other than that acquired outside of schools, or the polish that comes from contact with men of culture. Mr. Schrab has more vigor than reflnemenL He Alls every room he enters; he "likes to hear himself talk," as they say: he Is fond of reading his name In the newspapers; Is almost as. reckless in his extravagance as John Gates; slings his money around as if he were not aware of Its value, and never counts the change; he loves display, and .seldom fall3 to let hl3 left hand know all about the transactions of his right Ho -Is temperate In his habits, and -free from what are called "fashionable vices," but both In Europe and In Amerjci he has cut what Is usually termed "a' wide swath," and has not only cot there .with both feet, but has boasted of it far and near. At Monte Carlo he made the oldest gamblers, shiver at the recklessness of his play; In Parts he astonished the most blase observer of the antics of American millionaires, and Is said to be the mod6l , leading character in tho openuLsinco his return from the Islands, that "Florodora." At Vienna he gave the most expensive dinner ever served at that extravagant capital. The newspapers of every European city were filled with accounts of his doings and sayings, and thoy sounded familiar to those who have read the story of Monte Crlsto. Upon his return to the United States his notorety was sustained by frequent publication about his luxuri ous apartments; his sumptuous banquets; his palatial private car; hl3 elaborate preparation for affairs which most men would prefer unnoticed, and for his .sen sational plungins into all forms of dis play and extravagance. It was only a few weeks ago that the newspapers were filled with illustrated descriptions of the magnificent palace be has planned to build on Riverside Drive. New York, which is Intended to surpass all private residences in the world. His life has been a moving picture, al ways on exhibition and full of sensational interest Of courso this ostentation was the subject of comment among his friends and the public generally. Many attributed It to a desire to gratify his own vanity; others assumed that "Charley Schwab-" was not contented with his eminence In the Industrial world, as the executive head of the largest corporation that was ever organized, and aspired to social dis tinction. No doubt both theories were more or less true: but the general im pression was not favorable. Thero has been a well-defined, but cautiously and anxiously spoken doubt among the con servative element of New York business men, whether Mr. Schwab possessed "tho serious qualities that fit men to be In trusted with great Interests belonging to others. No one questions his technical ability or his executive capacity, but many haVe felt that the representative of a billion dollar corporation who controls the In- PEXFIELD. vestments, perhaps the entire resources, of hundreds of thousands of -people, and directs the financial policy of a concern of International importance, should pos sess a mind and a taste that would not seek gratification in sentimental news paper notoriety and vulgar display; At the same time this distrust has been min gled" with admiration for the abilities and tho genius of the man and for his hearty good nature and enjoyment of life. His affection for his father and mother are among his most attractive traits. They aro simple country people, but he seems to enjoy their society better than that of any one else, and finds his greatest pleas ure In providing for their comfort and en joyment. His father always has been and still la a livery stable-keeper in a little town called. Loretto. in the Alleghany Mountains, about the center of Pennsyl vania. When Charles Schwab was 9 years old he began his business career as a clerk In a village grocery, and several years later, when the grocery was moved up to the town of Braddock, he went with it, and there by his personal qualities at tracted the attention of W. R. Jones, manager of the Edgar Thomson steel works, which afterward became a part of the Carnegie establishment. Jones took him out of the grocery at the age of 15, when he was drawing wages of J3 60 a week, and gave him a job in the mill at 46 a week. Just 10 years later the grocer's boy became the successor of Jones as general manager of tho steel works at a salary of $36,000 a year $0000 a month; and it was not long before he was the president of the Carnegie Com pany with a salary of $50,000 a year. Now. at the age of 40, he Is the president of the steel trust at a salary of ww.OQO, and controls the labor and the wealth of more people than any private Individual ever did in all the world before. No other man ever had such a career. His advance has been so rapid and con spicuous that he may be excused for his vanity, particularly when he knows that his ability has won it for him. He com manded the confidence of Mr. Carnegie by hlo management of the Edgar Thom n works, and the other stockholders of the company regard him with equal re spect. It Is the prevailing opinion that Schwab will soonx recover his nervous vitality and return to his pest. He Is to take a course of baths and treatment at ono of the great German cures for ner vous diseases, which will continuo for three months, and with a vigorous con stitution to work on he ought not to suf fer any permanent effect from his break down. " Grand Island' 3Iooae Herd. x New York Times. Four mooso calves passed through Du luth from the Canadian Northwest by ex press Sunday. The little fellows are" the first of a herd to be established on Grand Island, in Lake Superior. 35 miles east of Marquette, and In the State of Michigan. The island consists of 13,000 acres, and Is I owned In largo part by William G. Math- or. of Cleveland, president of the Cleve land Cliffs Iron Company. R. E. Follctte. of Chicago, vice-president and general manager of the Inter national Forestry, Fish and Game Asso ciation, Is In charge of the calves. The moose were obtained In Manitoba by per mission of the Canadian Government. W. G. Mather Is putting them on Grand Isl and for the purpo-o of propagation. The moose were captured by Indians. Well Enough to Remember. Xew York Times. Those amiable people who have suf fered so severely from the losses sus tained In battle with the Filipinos could find, If the' chose but, of course. Mhy won't a measure of consolation In a linn of thought suggested by General Loyd iT.ieaun. ine omccr is quotra as saying. "the devastations of war have cost many lives., and the loss among the natives has no doubt been large, but when one takes Into consideration the hundreds of thou sands of lives that have been saved by reason of the sanitary precautions pf the American Amy and Civil Commission that loss by war seems infinitesimal." Tho anti-Imperialist, with his tender regard for the inclinations and preferences of all races except his own, v.ill doubtless ob ject that it Is no favor to save the lives of people by forcing them, to follow cus- toms and endure Governments distasteful to them, but with the world as small as It Is nowadays, this argument Is decidedly weak, at least so far as the customs are concerned. The unsanitary have become public enemies, and modern war, with all its enormous evils, does spread habits of clean living amcng the "natives" and the ' unprogrosslve" whom It leaves alive. In General Wheaton's opinion the victims of our arms in the Philippines were only a handful compared with the number who would have died of smallpox. plague, and cholera If we had not gone there. Anfl in making up this account the comparison between the present death rates of Cuba and Porto Rico and those of the past should not be forgotten. DAILY CITY STATISTICS. 3fnrrlace Llccnucs. W. J.
