'Our secretary of state,-Mr. Knox,
has addressed a note to the powers
of the world in answer to one from
the German government heartily i
agreeing to the expressed necessity.1
of their united and steady co-operation
in the protection of the integrity
of China. There are a lot of jmzzards
of different tongue, but of one pur
pose, sitting on the Chinese boundar
ies waiting till, the nation seems dead
enough to warrant their going In to
dismember the body.' Russia already
has been accused of taking steps to
ward the acquisition of Mongolia, and
there are others that would likely
with international non-conscience
filch a slice of the celestial land.'!;';''

Have you heard of Burbank's new
invention ? : It is for special use In
t!ie arid regions of any land warm
enough to protect it from, the chilly
; nights. It is called the potmo, a com
bination of the potato and the onion.
The onion portion causes the eyes of
i'the potato to water, and tills affords
the necessary, water for irrigation..

.Dr. Wiley has been exonerated from
nil blame In matters connected with
the combinations of them who wquld
oust him from the seat of pure food
legislation and supervision. Hereaf

are no microbes in the yeast our wo

So great ' is the importance or our
trade that M. Caslmir Perler, son of
the lute president of France, spent 24
whole hours, in Portland this week
Ing over the possibilities of commerce
on our north coast.; Surely he will
have a wiole hatful of effervescing In
formation to give to the frog-eater
when' he linlefully halls the shores of
his '-homeland. Twenty-four whole
hours In Portland! ' ' . ''
M Perler was here In the Interest
of the opening 6f the Panamanian can-

al. A recent. Missouri ': oralor.. said
that if all the hogs in. his state were
made into one hog that original rooter
could stand with his hind feet in the
Mediterranean sea, his fore .feet: on
the Caribbean sea and with one effort
of his nose could dig out the Panama
canal. To be sure, those of us who
know the unimpeachable veracity of
the high qlass MissQurjan cannot for
a moment doubt that lucid statement,
But, hurry along that hog, for M, Per
lef wants to ship some vin ordinaire

The Chautauqua board has shown
its "high character and ability" to
choose the best things In the fine pro
gram already Becured, and-in the, -co-!
operative forces obtained. A stroke of
practical progresslveness . was exhib
ited when the active energy .of the
farmers was effected.. There had been
a misunderstanding resulting, in a
disruption of the finer sympathies and
this has been bridged now and team
work will Bucceed in the place of the
conditions heretofore'., seen, '.:'. One
whole day will be set apart for ,the
Farmers Union and Grange Interests
and these people will secure the kind
nmount of talent they prefer. . One
of the most Intellectual treats of the
season Is to be the lecture of Dr.
."aacsi E. Talmage of Utah who' is an
acknowledged and accepted authority
on geology.1 His address will come
Monday, July 1, and will fittingly end'
the "educational day,', . , t

"Facts - Funnier Than Fiction
might well be the title of a chapter. 6'
history enacted In Portland this week
Two bankers had been indicted joint
ly In a miserable; transaction some
person or persons ' had . committed.
One of them pleaded "guilty," the oth
er "not guilty," The latter was tried
and the judge declared the evidence
insufficient to convict and dismissed
the case.. Now the other man who
was guilty and confessed It, comes in
to court and declares he has had a
change of mind and remembers ha is
not guilty. Thereupon the court dis
misses that case also. Funny business
Is law sometimes. ; .
