CHOPS HOT WHOLLY HUINKU. looking the country over it is clear that the crops in a farm majority of states are in fair condition and that the outlook is far better than haa been rep resented. When fiery blasts are raging at temperature of 107 in the shade it is easy to imagine that the situation ia desperate. But this ia a large country with innumarable variations of weather within ita limits. A drought is always more or less localized. ITp to the begin ning of the wheat harveet the crop con ditions in all the states were hrat-ehiss. Many of the states have not suffered ser iously, and those where the heat has been excessive and rains scanty one can not tell just where they stand as to crop not yet matured. But the picture of de struction has been completely overdrawn even in the sections where the drought was worst. Abundant rains has put a new face upon affairs. Cora ia, as the secretary of agriculture says, a hot weather plant. It will not come to a ?;reat deaf in cool climate. A three ourths yield would go beyond 1,600,000, 000 bushels, and a crop of this size is till quite possible. The story of the hottest month on rec ord in this country haa been largely col ored by intense physical discomfort and lists of prostrations. The vegetable market haa suffered in some states, but the loss in general crops has been largely exaggerated. Sot one state in six has suffered any excessive damage. When the complete returns come in affairs will brighten up wonderfully, even in the worst drought centers. The talk of total destruction anywhere haa been guess work. Bnt pessimistic conjectures, no matter bow slight their basis, tend to in jure business. Great tiers of states have bad no unusual drought. A few have been injured by drv weather to an exteut as yet nnknown. The size of the wheat crop ia known, and it ia the largest on record. Just wait for the facta. They I are not iiaeiy in any case to interrupt the high tide of prosperity. One soak ing rain baa driven pessimists to cover. SCHLEY'S EXONERATION. There ia a scab politician in ihe em ploy of tbe government, a clerk in the Brooklyn navy yard, in disobedience of ine ruies ui civu service, anu at me sac rifice ot nis nonor and manhood, named Edward S. Maclav. lately referred to a. ''Historian Maclav," who ia stirring up a great deal of trouble and caueing much expense Because ne misrepresented facts concerning the battle of Santiago, in which Admiral Schley is particularly interested. Admiral Sampson is a jeal ous old bigot, and Maclay's attack on r-cbley's conduct ot that famous naval struggle is no doubt the result of Samp eon's prompting and dictation. The attempt to impeach his purpose, dis credit bis actions, question hia loyalty or disregard the extent and restilt of Schley's conduct at a time when a na tion's destiny bung largely in the bal ance ia extreme ingratitude prompted by jealousy, and nothine more. Mr. Sampson and Mr. Maclay may talk and write until doomsday upon this matter. and when all's said and done the two men will be condemned and their utter ances discredited, while Mr. Schley will hold the respect, merit the praise and command the attention of the American people for a victory due largely to hie excellent generalship and bravery, bringing a result too glorious to cause its author to be regarded with the slightest scintilla of disrespect. In re spect to whether or not Mr. Schley acted with cowardice during the progress of the battle, aa charged in Maclay's his tory of the event, Captain Eulate, who cominanueo me Spanish cruiser V izcaya, . mat, ume, says: i cannot appreci ate any maneuver of the Brooklyn in the battle in front of Santiago as an act of cowardice. The maneuver, consider ering the position of the other American ships, was a proper one." And the fur ther fact that the Brooklyn inflicted 68 per cent of the damage done to the Spanish fleet, and received 54 per cent of the damage sustained by tbe Ameri can fleet, should be sufficient answer to this character-traducing historian. TO INSTRUCT FILIPINOS. Fiv hundred and fifty more teachers have just sailed for the Philippines, the army is being reduced to less than 30, 000 men and these are being withdrawn from the sight of the natives and con centrated in three large garrisons, and a strong native police force is being or ganized to maintain order. This does not sound much like the "slavery" our antia prate so much about, nor the per petual state of subjugation they pre dict. The truth is that the amis have utterly ignored American history and me cnaracienstics of the American d people in their prophecies and aeser- tlOHB. lhat is why the great mass of the people bave paid them scant atten lion anu wny the country has gone steadily on its way doing its duty in the Orient heedless of their waitings. a0 sane man familiar with the character istics and impulses of the American tieonle has ever believed or could believe that anything but justice would be done to the ilipinos or that any other course than tho most speedy preparation of them for self-government would be pur- v..vu uihit n,T m.cu )(ivea me lie to those who profess to bave no faith in the honor, justice and love of liberty of ther fellow citizens. In spite of what they have said or. may say we shall go on with tbe work of creating a condi tion among the Filipinos which will lead to their self-government' on Ihe same lines aa we bave self government in this iiountry. According to the ideas of the averauo American no brighter future i-ould be ottered them or could be desired. TIMBER LAND KH.it 1)8. Still the timber land frauds come to the surface, in various part of the ex tensive timber districts of Oregon. They have iHHin (toing on lor yeara, and the ollleiiiln, federal and state, mutt have Known all about than. The law appears to be eullk'iont on its face, to protect the public aguinst the timber laud tiharke, but it is generally construed in their fa vor, and the most palpable violation of the law are unnoticed. It aometimei) looks to an observer as it the moat for- j mal and nominal proof will serve if some I corporation or capitalist is niakmg a big 1 timber land raw, but any opposition must furnish the moat complete and ab solute proof imaginable. When tlfty or adjoining claims, taken up about the transferred u one man or curpormimn, wuw wiuipb in nu makes payment, there U not n officer of thefforernnienl, from the secretary of the interior down, but what knows that the law has been audaciously vio lated and wholesale perjury committed, yet these transactions are accepted as a matter of course, and approved bv the department, which thus makes itself an agent of outrageous robberies ol the American people at large, to whom this timber and these lands.before being law fully acquired by individuals, belong. The lieu land law is another piece of leg islative iniquity, designed as such from the beginning, and it haa worked to the entire satisfaction of the despoilera of the public. The men who take advant age of these lands, or of the practices allowed, if not encouraged, are not to be blamed ; they onlv take the gifts the po litical gods provide; but there is no lan guage too severe whereby to censure the olliciais, who for many years have toler ated and apparently been in "cahoots with this wholesale robbery. Telegram. The Chinese inhabitants of the United States are decreasing, but the Japanese residents are increasing. There is no special objection to the Jap- anese, though it they were to reach as high figures as the Chinese had ten rears ago there might be some talk of putting up the bars against them. The Japan ese are superior in most respects to the Chinese. They conform more nearly than the Chinese to American ideas of civilization. There are 21,000 Japanese in the United Stales as compared with 89,000 Chinese. As the former are grow ing, however, while the latter are shrinking, the chances are that by 1910 the numbers of the two races may be pretty nearly even. At present the Chinaman ia not a menace, but the ex clusion law should, at its expiration next May, be extended for another ten years. The Pacific coast is very little nuder stood by the average Easterner. It is a land of' wealth, but there is no clear idea of ita vast resource and the cli mate that makes it one of the finest residence portions of tbe globe. There is also an idea prevalent that a person can't make a living unless he haa large sum of money to start with. A large number is now coming to the coast and learning the untruth of these ideas and the undeveloped portions of the country will in tbe near future be settled and the vast resources of the country brought out. There is no bet ter portion of the United States than the North Pacific coast, and no better home for the nmu of small means. Gram ia being threshed in many sec tions of the state thia week, and the yield ia far hetter than in mtat. vpn ru The average will be at least a third bet ter, and the grain ia of much better quality. When good crops predominate the farmer is happy, and when the far mer has money to spend everybody is benefited. Good crops and a fair price make good times for all. The flax crop, too, ia much better than in past seasons, and this crop will be the means of dis tributing many thousands of dollars among our people. The crop ia being pulled this week, and tbe average price of 15 per acre is being paid for pulling, which is scattered anionic old and voune. and many families are devoting their entire time to flax pulling. Superintendent's Beport. School Superintendent Copland has the distinction this year of being tbe first superintendent in the state to com ply with the law and get the report of the condition of the schools and other school statistics in the hands of the state superintendent by Auzust 1st. Thia report shows the following statis tics of the condition of tbe schools in Una county: No. persons from 4 to 20 years. .. ,2,251 No. pupils enrolled 1,058 No. pupils under 6 vears 32 No. teachers employed No. holding state certificates No. 1st grade certificates. ... ... .

Tbe state treasurer haa made the an nual apportionment of the interest on the irreducible school fund cnllra-ted during the past year. The total number of persona of school age in the state was found to he 135,818, the amount of money apportioned, $165,0if7.98. making a per capita distribution of (Q.22. This is a smaller apportionment than was made last' vear or in 1899, and this is explained by the fact that in 1899 and 1900 a large amount of accrued interest was collected and made available for ftritmt on ninnnr tha t,,.U this year there is lees of that, the bark interest having been collected up durine the two previous yeara. Another mat ter having an influence in reducing this year's apportionment is the fact that the interest rate of school fund loans has been reduced from 8 to 6 per cent per annum, a loss to the schools of 25 per cent in their income. According to the state treasurer's fig ures there are 2,251 school children in Columbia county, and tbe amount ap- i"-" n'jneu ia a. inis amount has already been received by the county treasurer, but according to the law gov erning the matter, the money will not be apportioned until Octolier.
