What a miserable showing tho
United States must have made had
the Chinese imbroglio occurred be
fore it got the Philippines and a
navy. Now Uncle Sam will be on
hand to conserve his trade and his
rights, and will play a leading part
in the adjustment of the difficulty.
The end is at hand in China.
The government has collapsed and
can only be set up again or a new
one organized by the powers, or by
one of them. The open door treat
ies are all right in their way, bat
if Russia should annex China, they
would fail just as Hawaii's treaties
failed when the United States an

Col. Bryan, it is said, will stay at

Money is the financial blood of
the community. Never send a dol
lar away when the article which
that dollar will purchase can be
had at home. Its the constant cir
culation of money that keeps busi
ness alive as much as it is the cir
culation of the blood that keeps the
body alive. When you send money
away you weaken the circulation,
consequently business is hurt. Stay
by your home merchants. Keep
your eye on the bargains offered by
. wide-awake merchants who adver
tise. The death of a juror occurred

Someone at Washington is pester
ing the West Side with ready-print
articles favoring the idea of a ship
eubsidy. We may be thick headed
but we muBt say that such a proJ
position is but another tax on the
farmer. If ship owners can't mate
enough carrying freight at the high
rates prevailing, they had better go
out of business. It seems that the
farmer catches it a going and a
coming. He pays the highest prices
for everything he has to buy (sugar
has just gone up ten cents on a
hundred pounds) while we all
stand ready to beat down prices on
everything he has to sell. We don't
believe the ship subsidy business
will benefit the farmer. Better to
pay the farmer a subsidy if you
jeally want to help him. I
A Flax Mill.
Is there any reason why Inde
pendence shouldn't have a flux
mill? What Is good for other
places ought to be good for us.
A proposition has been made to
Eugene and no doubt a similar one
might bo made our citizens. Here
is tho Eugene proposition as stated
by the Register:
We are in receipt of a letter from
E. E." Lariinoro, manager of the
Northwestern Flax and Fiber Co.,
at Scio making inquiry as to
whether or not Eugene wants a
fiber mill. We quote from the
letter as follows:
Our Works at this place are a
grand success, and will be the
means of putting hundreds of (tol
lars.in the pockets of farmers for
their flax straw which has always
heretofore been an actual loss and
waste. And Ixodes it establishes
a ray roll of from 25 to 30 men
and "pay rolls" are what are needed
to make any city prosperous.
To establish a similar riant at
Eugene would Require:
1st. A reasonable assurance on
tho part of the farmers that they
would take interest enough in such
an enterprise to sow flax, say from
HXWto low acres.
2nd. That the farmers donate tho
first year's crop, our company do
ing the threshing and cleaning o
of their seed, free of charge, and
our company purchasing their seed
or secure a good market for the
same.
3rd. A building site of at least
2 acres and of easy access to water
for retting purposes, also of access
to railroad or steamer for shipping
4th; At least ?.JU toward ereo
lion of plant.
To erect and install such a plant
will require about f 5,C(X) and this
plant will employ from 25 to 30
men, which roll would of course lie
increased as necessary.
Now, will you not kindly inquire
into this matter and let mo hear
from you. Also please inform me
1st. How many acres of flax are
sown in your vicinity this year
nu. its present condition i e,
general appearance and length of
straw.
3rd. Would my coming thero aid
in the above matter, by having per
sonal interviews with those inter
ested in tho matter.
E. E. Lakimohk, Manager.
Upon investigation we find that
approximately 500 acres of flax
have leen sown this year represent
ing ten growers and the crop in
each instance is in line shape. The
attention of the business men is
called to tho fiber mill nronosition
and should not be papsed over with
out giving the matter due and care
ful consideration.
An industry of this kind would
he of great value to Eugene and
tho county.
If wo are to have bicycle paths
let the bicyclists pay for them.
Those persons who resist tho tax
expect not only to ride and pay
nothing, but to let those who walk
pay everything. Oregonian.
How about those who drive' fast
horses and ride in fine buggies?
Do they pay any more tax than
the bicyclist or the one who walks?
Are not the roads made good
primarily, for vehicles. The wheel
men are certainly not unreasonable
to asic tor paths when they pay
their money for that purpose There
are some people who don't want to
pay a tax of any sort.

A. C. Haley, secretary of the de
mocratic county committee, return'
ed from a visit in the Willamette
valley. Hr. Haley was at Mon
mouth and also at various towns
all the way to Rosehurc. He is
familiar with that part of the state,
and states that the prospects for a
crop are very poor indeed. "Late
frost ruined the winter wheat," said
Mr. Haley, "and also killed the
fruit. And now thero are localities
where the wheat is burning up. I
have ni ver seen so poor prospects
for erain and fruit crops in the
western part of the Btate. Farmers
and orchardists will have a very
poor return for their labors in pre
paring for the harvest this year,
Pendleton East Oregonian.
Mr. Haley had better come back
and take another look over the val
ley and especially of Polk County.
'Tis true that fall grain will he short
hut that shortness will be more than
made up in the splendid crop of
spring grain, to say nothing of the
excellent prospects for hops. Out
side of prunes, there will be plenty
of fruit. It has been some years
since this section has had such a
crop of small fruits as was handled
this season. A good index to this
is the amount of sugar handled by
the merchants, who had difficulty
in keoping the people supplied.
They say the demand was great;
everybody having so much fruit to
put up. Mr. Haley was evidently
flattering his own section at the
expense of this county.

Newberg is to be congratulated
upon the energy displayed by its
people in securing the establish'
ment of the large beet-surar plant
in that city. Three quarters of a
million of dollars will be invested
in the business and no subsidy was
asked; only a guaranty that the
farmers would grow enough beets
to keep the .plant running. The
example of Newberg is well worth
imitating by any or all of the
valley counties. There is room in
Polk county for a beet-sugar factory.
Would our people grasp the op-i
portumty wcw it offered them?;
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, June 25.
President MoKinley is gratified
but not at all surprised at the com
mendation ho is receiving from all
quarters for hi promptness in or
dering troop to China to joiu with
those of other clviliied nations in
protecting the persons and property
of foreigners. Neither this govern
ment nor any Euronan govern
ment considers itself at war with
China, but the Chinese government
having failed to protect foreigners
from the "boxers" thoclvillnod gov
ernments are going' to do it them
selves. Li Hung Chang has cabled
to Secretary Hay, promising to re
store peace and see that all foreign
ers are protected, and tho Chinese
Minister to the U. 8. has received a
cablegram saying that all the
foreign missionaries at Pekin are
safe and well, but all that hasn't
stopped any of the preparations for
sending reinforcements to China
from tho Philippine just as quick
as they can be gotten there. The
Chinese Minuter insists that there
can be no war between China and
tho civilized nations, and that his
government has not sanctioned any
of the fighting. All that he says
may be strictly true, but tho fact
remains that there has been fight
ing and that it is still going on,
and that one side is made up of
soldiers and marines belonging to
the civilized nations, and the other
side of Chineso. The question of
the responsibility of tho Chinese
government may be determined
later, but tho first and foremost
duty of the civilized powers is to
put a stop to the fighting by whip'
ping' the Chinese fighters into sub'
mission, and President McKiuley
intends that the U. S. shall do its
share of that duty.
Director Merriatn, of the census
bureau, has given the press a slate
ment. intended as an answer to
thousands of letters asking for
figures shown by the census in var
ious localities. By showing tho
routine through which tho returns
from each enumerator's district
must go, the impossibility of giving
tho information at this time was
made apparent. As fust as the
oflieial count is completed tho totals
will lo bulletined at the census
bureau, cities being taken first.
Notice bus also been given that
there will no more examinations
for appointment to clerical posi
tions in the bureau, tho eligible list
already containing many more than
will over receive appointments.

named on the ticket by acclama
tion." Mr. A. D. McPherton, of the Chi
cago Financial Review, who has
just returned from an extended
business trip through tho south,
said while in Washington: "While
I do not mix politics in business,
still I could not help asking ques
tions, and I gathered from talks I
md with men of all shades of opin
ion and politics that there is a big
surprise in store for somebody this
fall. The south is waking up. Pro
toction and expansion una no
warmer advocate than in the sunny
and that we have so long beon
taught was hopelessly given over
to Democracy. In my humble
opinion McKinley and Roosevelt
will carry at least threo Bouthern

Paris, Franco, June 21.
I Win a Paris paper this inoru
ing that Senator Halo character,
ized the Paris Exposition as a "bud
performance." This was tho opin
ion of M. Bcnon, of all expositions;
ho despised them and bluniwl
women for thorn. Lot anyone re
call hit own impressions of tho
Chicago Exposition.' Nine out of
ten will first think of the Midway
plaUance attractions; a majority of
visitors will recall the tawdry in
substantial architecture', the li re
work, tho Ferris wheel and a wil
derness of show cases differing hut
little from those of the great sterol
in many cities of tho United Btal. .
The Paris exposition is not sale
statuially different from this. Its
Midway Plaisance is not crampi-d,
it is scattered here and therein ilif
fereut parts Thero is a great dis
play ' of architecture that will U
torn down. The Paris exposition,
liko all tho rest, is a mammoth adV
vertising scheme and France has
the hog's inaro of the advertising
while Pari will profit by theihCr.
Tho part played by our country U
far from conspicuous. W'o appear
only here and there by an exhibit
marked by an American flag and
there is nearly always adjoining us
or across the aisle an exhibit of tho
same class by another count ry. Of
course this means nothing to those
who think or know that tho Unid-d
Slates exhibit is nothing more than
the "lay-out" of some firm or firms
that strive to find or increase their
business on this side of the water.
1 do not know anything about
tho niisusi; of the appropriation of
1,400,000 made by the government
for this exposition, as alleged in tho
charges of Senator Jenes. There
has doubtless been extravagance
and errors of judgment in building,
purchasing and in tho hundreds of
incidents in which the numerous
personnel of tho American commis
sion employes had to pay out mon
ey. Not one in five of them cuk
French or can make change in cen
times, francs and lots without get
ting cheated, or at least running
the risk.
Anyone who has traveled in Eu
rope knows that the French arothe
greatest, most fkilful and mobile
robbers on the continent. A con
tract fur a dinner is followed by an
overcharge for the napkin and the

Their nonchalance when detected
is fine. Their faces are too red to
show a blush. The American com
mission is somewhat luxuriously
installed. They have not denied
themselves in fine desks and chairs
and carpets, and quite luxurious
otlices. "Republican simplicity" is
not very severe hero. It may be

ball team went to that place hist
Wednesday with tho understanding
that they were to get their meals-
dinner and supper and one-third
of tho gate receipts or two-thirds if
they won the game. Owing to the
inclomency of tho . weather there
were but few spectators at the game
and consequently only $5.10 wag
taken in at tho gate, l ho captain
of the Independence team Brant
conclude! that they could not stand
tho expense of meals for our boys,
and our team had to go down into
their own pockotB and pay for thorn.
Besides, this cost our team $10 for
transportation, bo they were out,
altogether, about $12.50. This

Owing to the rain, but a small
amount was collectod at the gato,
consequently tho McMinnville end
of the purse, two-thirds, was too
light to pay their expenses for toam,
dinner and supper, and bo forth
(whatever that is). The manager
then tried to brow .beat our boys
into paying all this, saying it was
so understood; but the reputation
of the follow as a grafter was too
well known and he could not make
his scheme work. He has Bucceodod
in getting the Valley Transcript to
take up tho cue and last issue of

scurrilous attack on our boys. The

America and t'bliis's Partition.
The question, Will China bo Pi
vided? 1 the issue which tho war
In that country brings to tho front.
In a large degree tho answer to this
query lies with our nation. The
report that the United States has
been asked to join with the Euro
jiean powers in the partition,' and
to signify what part of China it
would ask as it own portion,' is
probably not correct. There Is not
tho slightest doubt, however, that
the only thing which stands In tho
way of China's partition at tho
present moment is tho consent of
tho United States. It is easy to see
that tho Chinese government is dex
terously playing into the bands of
tho enonba of its country. Its re
aistotico to tho American and Euro
pean sailors and soldiers in China,
who were thero for the purpose, of
protecting their own citizens, will
put tho world against it, and has
ten tho day when, unices tho ro
form iniluonces begin soon to assert
themselves, tho division of that
country has to come as a . measure
of protection to civilization. The
only barrier which stands between
China and division at the present
moment is the consent of the United
States. ' ,
China's own acts are making tho
position of the American govern
ment as her defender against spoli
ation more and more difficult. Her
troops are fighting against tho
Americans. Some American lives
have beon lost in tho warfare which
is under way. Much American
projierty has been destroyed. At
the present moment half a dozen of
tho foremost nations of the world
aie arrayed against China. It is
not tho Boxers whom tho United
States, England, Russia, ..Germany
and Franco are fighting at tho pres
ent time, but tho Chinese govern
ment itself. China's authorities
have taken tho side of the recent
rebels, or alleged rebels, against her
government. This is tho circum
stance which makes tho situation
in China serious.. The Boxers nu
easily bo put down even by the
small forces of the Internationa
army and navy which are on tho
ground, but tho interference of tlrts
Chinese government in liehalf
tho reactionary elements gives tho
situation an aspect for which none
of tho nations, with the exception
of Russia, apMars to havo been
prepared or to have expected.
This is the aspect of tho Chineso
situation which hits tho greatest
concern for tho Americans, The
United Slates has a decided inter
est in tho rescue of her citizens who
are imperiled. Tho lives of some of
them probably have been lost a
ready. But Chinese nsistenco wil
quickly bo overcome in any case.
The Chinese officers who are ro
sponsible for tho attacks on the
foreign armies will be degraded
ami 8 me of them may bo executed
Tho leaders of tho Boxers will un
doubtodly be executed. Tho flags
of tho United States and of the
other nations which are taking part
in the trouble will float over Pekin
Then the divergenco of sentiment
between tho United States and tho
other countries will como. This
country simply wants tho reform
elements to bo restored, as in the
caso when tho recent emperor was
in power. England will undoubted
ly stand with tho United States on
this point. But England at the
present moment has her hands tied

continental European nations wi
robably suggest division of the

ing to allow the United States

of her consent to tho partition. On
this point tho position of this coun
try may be stated with the utmost
confidence. . The United States will
neither enter into any alliances

Tho Tacoma accident on the
Fourth, whereby 30 people were
killed and piany more injured, was
a frightful affair, almost equaling
that at Victoria in 1806. The ac-
cidont Beema to have been caused
by a steep grade, a sharp turn in
the road leading over a high bridge
where the car left the track, turned
upside down and falling GO feet.

THE SHARPLESS CREAM
SEPARATOR.
It is tho simplest separator raade, conse
quently the best. They will all separate
the cream from the milk best. Many
other separators have so many parts and
are so complicated that it takes a long
time to clean them after lieing used. One
man who bought a separator said it took
an hour and a half to clean it.
THE SHARPLESS-
Can be thoroughly washed in ten
minutes.
We carry the SHARPLESS i stock. Be sure
and examine it before buying. "
