THE WEST SIDE A. C, BRANT, K.lltor tad FMrl.Ur. SUBSCRIPTION KATES. ' ' ' K A.BVANCK) rwlv mnntha I,. TbrM ramtUia .-. .-1 ... to SATURDAY, JULY 28, VM. After the scenes at Kansua City, the lees the democrats my about bosses the bettor. ' : Pekin should have had an ofllcU cut chief of police who would have prevented the use of giant crackers and dynamite torpedoes on the Fourth of July. Oh no, the farmers are not on the fence this year. Not on your life. They are too busy working in the fields. Exports ol provisions worn wis United Btatoa during the past fisca year averaged half a million a day breaking the record for all the years past. " Uuelo Sara imported fifteen mi lions worth of gems during the past fiscal year. He is evidently bound to cut a shine in the world. Chicago is kicking because some nt Via 1in man Wttrfl nat flMintiil twice by the census man. , ft Tea is going up on account the Boxor troubles, and the wome of the country are beginning 1 learn that they have some interest in the politics of the far east aftc all. ft ft ft It is oilicially stated that the British have lost 48,000 men South Africa since the war began eight mouths ago, and the Boers Beem nearly as full of tight as ever During June the British losses were some 4,000. ft ft ft Grover must feel somewhat blue when he see that 16 to 1 was in sorted by the vote of Hawaii and remembers that he did his best to exclude those islands from the United States. 9 War nowadays is in a way civil ized. That is, its horrors are min imized as far as possible. But war with China will be a very differen thing, and will revive the old day of poisoned wells, tortured prisoners and outraged women. ft ft ft Through tho courtesy of the Sec retary of State F. I. Dunbar the West Side acknowledges receipt ol a copy of the official directory ol state officers, state boards, commis sioners, schools and colleges, state institutions, circuit judges, district attorneys, and county officers, com piled by the secretary of state on July 1st. The directory is complete and will prove useful for frequent reference. ft ft ft The President has acted in regard to China at exactly the right time, His declaration that no war is in tended against that country, al though Americans will be protected to the fullest extent, and that the United States will endeavor to "maintain the territorial and ad ministrative entity" of the empire, joined with the dispatch of addi tional troops, shows to the world that he proposes to maintain Amer ican interests despite greedy self seekers abroad, and cavilers at home. ft ft ft The United States Government is soon to establish three stations at widely separated points for the sci entifio study of magnetic currents and electrical phenomena. These are to be fixed at Washinton, Sitka and Honolulu. The construction of these stations and the adjustment of their delicate instruments will require a degree of skill and a nicety of discernment that can only be acquired by the moBt careful study. Magnetic storms and their correlation to sun spots and the phenomena of the aurora borealis are discussed upon the basis of the ory, mainly, and it is in the hope to bring demonstrated fact to this discussion that these magnetic ob servatories are to be established. This field of investigation is an en tertaining one. So close is the connection between magnetic dis turbances, meteorological phenom ena and human affairs, that it could not be otherwise. It may require years to obtain any appre ciable result from the minute study of the forces of the air, but such results as are likely to be obtained will prove ample recompense for tedious and baffling effort. , ft ft ft The household of Minister Conger at Pekin, consisted of himself, his wife, his daughter Laura, and his niece, Miss Mary Pierce, of Des Moines. Other attaches and resi dents at the Legation were Miss Payne, of Chicago, French teacher; Mr. Squires, First Secretary of the Legation, his wife and three child ren; Mr. Bainbridge, Second Secre tary of the Legation, and his, wife; Mr. Cheshiref interpreter, ami Miss Mary Condit Smith, a sister-in-law of Governor-General Wood of Cuba. While there is every reason to think that these people have fallen vie tints to Chinese atrocity, there is a slight hope, pending definite infer mation, that they may, still be living. If living, however, without power to protect themselves, their fate is even more deplorable than that of the German Minister, Von Ketteler, whose life was destroyed within a tew minutes after he was get upon by the mob in the streets Suffering that ends speedily in death is the lightest phase of the horrors incident to falling into the hands of unrestrained savages. We may hope that our people have CS' caped or been spared the latter fate. even at tho expense oi sudden dee patch. . State lair. , "' The State Hoard of Agriculture is making a great effort this year to make the state fair a represonta tive agricultural and live ' stock show. The premium list is out and is ueinir tnorouKtiiy ununuuicu throughout the state and persona efforts are Wing made to attract the attention of farmers and stock men to the very liberal premiums offered. Several counties in the state are preparing a county exhibit for the fair, for they realize it will ho a good opportunity to advertise their county in a most practical way Each exhibit will lie a lecture room and an object room for the home seeker, where he can get informs tion, along intelligent lines, and will be worth many dollars in ad vertising the county's resources. The live stock show will undoubt edly the K'st ever held on the coast. Breeders all over the country are preparing to exhibit at the fair this year. There is an opportunity here in Oregon for the farmers who have been running into debt raising wheat, to turn their attention to the profitable production of beef, mutton and pork, or engage in dairying which has already taken its place as a leading paying in dustry in this state. There is a de mand for the best specimens of all breeds which will continue to grow for years to come, and there nothing that will encourage this industry so much as stock shows at state and county fairs. Athletic Couteata. The board of regents of the state Agricultural College at Corvallis, have passed a resolution prohibit ing inter-collegiate athletic con tests. . Considerable discussion, pro and con as to the merits of the resolu tion and the effect its adoption would have upon the future of the col lego was indulged in. I ho reso lution reads as follows: "Whereas, inter-collegiate games have passed the bounds of reusjn and developed into a form of mania that is demoralizing to the moral, mental and physical well being of college students, and " tiereas, the records of all edu cational institutions show that the standing of those students engaged n athletics compare in nearly all cases unfavorably with the. stand ing of other students, and " hereas, the same overtaxing of strength and endurance in dumb brutes that is visited upon athletes is made a misdemeanor, punishable by stalulo law, and "Whereas, tho doings of the few athletes absorbs the attention and demoralize the studies of the whole body of students for long periods, to the utter prostitution of the pur poses for which colleges of agricul ture and mechanics wero benefi cently endowed, therefore he it "Hesolved that tho board of re gents hereby prohibits the students of the Agricultural college fnm engaging in inter-collegiate athletic contests, or contests with any other college, school or club; but the fac ulty should encourage as much as lossible all healthful athletic or other sports upon tho grounds of the college." lhere was considerable discussion of the general subject of athletics while the resolution was pending. Kxpressions of opinion were vouch safed by most of those present. A substitute tor the resolution was offered. It proposed the encour agement of athletics and the em- loyment of a physical director. It received but two votes, being the votes of the members who made and seconded the motion for its adoption. In the discussion of the original resolution it was arguod that a loss of some students might result. It was argued from the other standpoint that throughout the state nine out of every ton would applaud the adoption of the resolution and that a greater rather than a diminished attendance would result. On the final vote all but two of the members present supported the resolution. Belgian haros must tie groat meat producers, says the Corvallis lines, suppose a doe raises hve ltters of eight young each, she has 40 to her credit. Presuming half of this litter to be does, there are four, and these four, if all roes well, will produce two litters by the end of a year. Figuring on the same basis they will produce 104. It may be presumed that tho se ond tter of the original doe will pro duce once, and on this basis of fig uring there will be 62 more, making total of 16b antes as the increase of one doe. If they are of cood breeding they will weigh eight pounds each at the age of eight months. Thus it will be seen that hree figures are required to express he weight of the increase of one doe in the course of a year. I'arih EXi'osmos letter. Frura our IWauWr CtM-tvipomtatil, Paris, Franco, July 0. What tho Paris exposition most needs is condensation by eliniiua tion. , I shall continue to call it the Paris exposition and not as it calls itself L'Kxiitwition Universal et Internationale. The nations hav boon "taken in," squeezed and ah ioi bed, but considering the bloat ing bigness of France in this gre it advertising scheme and the com parative peliness of all others there is no reason why we should he the deception by calling it univer sal or international.- France need ed money, 1'itris needed money, and they said: Lol let us invito all the peoples of the earth to board with and buy from us for a season. And they built great structures and tow ers and wheels and assembled their merchandize and made a great fair and established within it, and around it, booths for dancing girls, and dives and joints and fakes, and bt(t(u and loud was tho roar and great was the villany and humbug thereof. Unless these abominable fakes and side shows can be abated and unless an exposition of what genuine and meritorious can be condensed and put in reasonable space, they ought to bu discon tinned. Here in mid summer it is yet iniH)ssihle to see what is worth seeing, either because it is not ready or because you lvavo to walk around acres of the baldest of fakes am humbugs, ravenous to "tako you in" or to sell you something. Lime and dust tiill the air and make sight seeing uncomfortable if not unsanitary. There are many guide books and they aro no doubt in a way helpful, but in buildings cover ing many acres and filled with miles of show eases and machinery of great height, a compass is of con venience and many have them. I find the United States exhibit ors situated here and there, appar ently without system in the main Champ de Mars building. Their location is always indicated by the stars and stripes, and these are seen over the U. 8. pavilion; in many places in Champ do Mars; in a number of annexes; and at Vin cennes, which place is about two hours out of l'uria, a most inaccess able locality, but here most of the United Stated machinery is to be found. It was way out on this frontier that 1 found an American pioneer, lie told me that his ex hi bit, the Reliable Incubator and Brooder Co., of Quinccy, Illinois was the first exhibit that had been set up at the exposition. Ho hus handsome independent pavilion and is turning out machine chick ens right along. As an addittona advertisement, the little chicks are of all the colors of caster eggs with some tints of the rainbow thrown in. Medals from many fairs in the United States and two European countries are shown, and he appear ed to be without competition or htn t commit, as tho French say. Seeing tho flag in an unexpected place yesterday, I found that it marked a very interesting exhibit of greater New York. It onsists of a map 27x33 feet. Undoubtedly the finest and ntott expensive map in Paris or any where. Nothing be fore has been accomplished on such a scalo. Twelve men worked con stantly on this map for one year beforo it was completed. It lies on the floor surrounded by a brass balustrade. Every hill, house, ele vation and depression of the city and surrounding country and water in minutest detail, is shown. In order that it may bo seen at great est advantage, a platform has been built, giving about four feet eleva tion, and this platform is supplied with opera glasses. Tho platform is, as it were, off Sandy Hook, and the visitor who will study tho map for five minutes from this vantage, will get a broader and minuter im pression of tho future greatest city of the world than in any other way. The gentlemen in charge at this ex hibit begged me to state that the map was the work of the munici pality of New York City, and that the state had nothing to do with it. Its object is to impress the world with the present greatness and the future greatestness of New York, and its desirability as a location for business or residence. Last night there was a special il lumination of the Champs de Mars, the fountains, the cascades, the Eiffel tower and other architectural attractions. The price of four tick ets was charged for entrance, which made the crowd select. It was, nevertheless, very large, and seated in chairs rented for two sous each, thirty or forty thousand people, many of them in evening dress, Bat for an hour or two enjoying the brilliant, illumination. ' The ' fcene was one of rare splendor, and for the time the fake shows in and around the exposition ceased to attract. , , I atttended a tea yesterday, given in tho Palace of Congresses by an organization of French, American and English educators. They all hold professorships in colleges gj universities of their countries, and have formed a kind of lcriatUo educational band or organization, tho object of which is to make the Parts exposition and future expo sition more helpful to the visitor, Tho plan Is to help him see with minimum excuse of tinil and money, what is best worth seeing, and to protect him from what b worthless and frivolous. This done by furnishing us guides, edu cated specialists in the various classes covered by tho exposition The guides will accompany groups of visitors who will set out with a defined uhjective and thus avoid the waste of time and tho fatigue of aimless wondering in a wilderness of exhibits, which seen in this way are no more instructive than hhep windows. The guides who are ex perts In their sixiciul eludes and some of them famous will explain as they go in a familiar, untocliji- cal way. WASHIXUTOX LETTER. , Washington, 1). C, July W Secretary Boot who is deply interested in the future of Cuba, said on the subject, "My own ex perience in Cuba lends me to beleive that the dusire for independence is both strong and general among the people. I do not think they want annexation, even supposing that we want them. Under the Con gressional declaration, we aro in honor bound to give them indepen dence first. If, subsequently, they they wish annexation, that Is a matter for them to determine, Hut it should be determined when they are In a petition abolutely hide ondent of us. Even then it is a case where it takes two to make a bargain." (ion. Wood is now on his way to Washington to consult with Secretary Hoot alniut the pre liminaries for tho Cuban Constitu tional Convention soon to be held. Mr. Do Weston, a well known Kentuekian, now in Washington, said of politics in his state: "T democrats will not carry Kentucky this year. I voted for Bryan four years ago but have seen the mistake and am willing to admit it. The Goebel law was a disgraceful meas tire, und Mr. Bryan came into our state supHrting it and its ad her- ents. Ho wilt find that h'm attitude In that campaign has lost him many of the votes that otherwise might have been his. You can place Kentucky among the republi can states this year."
