Bryan may be wrong, but he cor-
' tainly has a backbone. If he said
something was "plain duty" he

who is "amenable" to reason.
Genoral Miles wants to go to
China and it is probable that he

The Christian Scientists are try

Mr. Astor, it is said, has taken
offense at his exclusion from Eng

United States and become natural

right for Great Britain but has Mr.
Astor thought of what he is impos
ing on this country.
It is too bad. Here is Neely
using up his half the postal receipts
of Cuba in paying expenses while
he waits to be extradited, and there
is the government spending the half
that he allotted to it, in arranging
for his extradition and yet nothing
comes of it all.
Last year the wheat crop was
large but the total price it brought
was less than that of some former

There are two periods at which

The Oregonian says that it does
n't place a high value on the ap
al for the "unsuspecting victims
of the gambler." Those "victims"
may keep away from the ganjtder,
if they desire. But they hunt up
"the game of robbery" because they
hope to be the robbers themselves.
Then the pitiful cry is raised that
they are undone. The so-called
"unsuspecting victim" is just as
much in fault as the man who "runs
the game," and quite as dishonest.

The Statesman suggests that
since the enactment by the Salem
city council of the new bicycle or

men the city authorities should in
dicate, bf clearly painted signs or
other means, conspicuously dis
played, the sidewalks from which
cyclists are prohibited. In the ab
sence of any sign of warning,
scarcely a day passes but wheelmen
are seen speeding over forbidden
territory. Signs could be establish
ed at the proper points similar to
those already in use and the dis
position on the part of the small
boy and some of his larger brothers
to displace them could be effective
ly .overcome by severely punishing
the first lad caught in tho act.

WASIUXUTOI LETTER.
Washington, I). C, July 23.
'Americans, Japanese and Chin
ese fighting side by Ide against
Europeans for the maintenance of
tho Chinese Empire, is one of the
possibilities of tho near future in
China," remarked all Euroican
member ot the Diplomatic Corps.
That is probably an extreme view,
but it is certain that the European
powers, whatever may be their pro
fessionsk wish to divide China
among themselves, while tho U. S.
and Japan would prcfor that the
Chinese Empire remain as U Is.
Tho situation in China st this
time so far a we know, is largely a
matter of opinion. Officials believe
that the niessngo received from
Minister Conger, saying that him
self and other foreign ministers in
lVkiu, were safe, although much in
need of assistance, was genuine,
while nearly everyltody else regards
it with suspicion and not a few as
being a bit of Chinese trickery.
Tho one bit of absolute fact In sight
Is the disappointing cablegram from
Admiral Kemey, saying that the
allied forces would not begin the
march to Pekin before the middle
of August, owing to luck of har
mony among the allies. General
Chaffee will probably arrive at
Taku early nest week, hut he can
do little without tho assistance of
others, as ho will have less than
four thosaud men.
Americans do not monopolize
imporanl industrial discoveries aud
inventions. Tho U. H. Consul Gen
eral to Germany, in a report to the
Department of State briefly des
cribes a new and successful method
of welding cast iron pipes, tramway
rails, etc., which is both cheap and
siuiple. The process is thus des
cribed in the rejnrt: "Briefly staled
it consists in mixing powdered al
uminum with oxide of iron and
adding to it an rasily ignitable
subxtancu. This powder is put into
a clay crucible and ignited by a
match. The resulting chemical
action renders the mixture liquid,
and this liquid is then poured
around the place to be welded, the
object assumes a white heat aud
tho welding is done by a very sim
ple apparatus. Tho welded places
show the same firmness as the
original piece, and manifold appli
cation of the method is possible,"
When the present plans of tho
Navy Department are carried out,
there will be about 4,000 Murines
in China to act in concert with the
army forces. This will not only l
the largi st force of American Mar
ines ever on foreign soil at once,
but will be the largest force of
American marines ever assembled
at any one place. The full author
ized strength of the Marino Corps
is (5,000 and special-efforts are now
lieing made to recruit up to the
limit.
Mr. C. Tower, U. 8. Ambassador
to Russia, who is so unfortunate as
to bo away from his important poet
at this particular time on vacation,
arrived in Washington a day or
two ago. Ho left St. Petersburg
before the Chinese trouble had re
suited in tliO'attacking of the for
eign ministers in Pekin. He doubts
tho stories of Uusnia's intention to
declare war on China and go it
alone, and believes that the powers
will act together. He thinks that
this government will necessarily
be a sort of umpiro in all disputed
questions that may arise among the
allies or between the allies and the
Chinese government, because it is
tho only government which possess
es the unreserved confidence of all
others, and which , is regarded by
all as being absolutely without
selfish motives in its policy towards
China. J Mr. Tower said of the
Trans-Siberian Itailway, which the
Russian Government will complete
in two years: "Americans will profit
much by the commercial field it
will open to them, although Vladi
vostock is to bo the real end of the
road, another terminus will touch
Dalney on the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Li,
near Port Arthur. 'That will be a
free port, and a stretch of territory
around it is, to be set apart for the
use of manufacturers desiring a
base for manufacturing the pro
ducts imported there from the rest
of tho world. That means a great
opening for American materials."
The official announcement that
this government will get out of
Cuba us soon as the Cubans get a
government of their own and that
the election for delegates to the Cu
ban Constitutional convention,
which will construct the framework
of that government will be hold in
September seems to dispose of all
the stories about this government
encouraging the annexation move
ment. That annexation will even
tually come is the opinion of many
of those who have deeply studied
the matter, but it now looks as
though it would not be 'until after
the Cubans had full opportunity
to go it along long enough to deter
minefor themselves.
If Mr. W. W. Itockhill, who has
been given a diplomatic commission
as special envoy, ranking something
like an Ambassador, and ordered
to proceed to China at the earliest
jHJSsible moment, can't get informa
tion in China, which is what ho U
to go after, probably no outsider
can. Ho Ik one of the few white
men who can speak and write tho
Chinese language thoroughly. .

It. A. CrosNun, the well known
Salem hop buyer, pay the HtntcH
man, 1ms just retumed from North
Yakima, Washington, where ho lmi
been for ft month in the center of
tho Eastern Washington hop-growing
district. While in the Ever
green State, Mr. Crmsan made tho
purchase of about 150 bales of the
l8'jyero and made several con
tracts with individual growers for
this year's crop,
In discussing the hop situation In
tho section ho visited, Mr. Cronsun
says the 18iH crop has been prac
tically all sold, there being less than
150 bales in the state. Many ltsK)
hops have been contracted at Id
cents although A few contracts wro
written earlier in the season at 9
cents. Ho saye the Washington
hop growers have not yet shown a
disposition to contract for tho rea
son that they are all very busy har
vesting their crops which are unus
ually good this year.
Mr. Crossau thinks the prospects
for a crop in the Yakima sect!!6
this year are good" although bo ex -1
pvct there will bo a (ailing on of
probably 1000 bales in the yield
over that of last year whluh is csti
mated nt 15,(MHJ fur that section.
The yards have attained about the
same growth as the Oregon crop,
tho hops just going into the bur.
Extremely warm weather has pre
vailed in Eastern Washington fr
the past few weeks, w hich has quite
completely exterminated., tho hw
lice that had appeared and the
vards are now practically free from
all lice.
Many hop growers in tho Yakima
district have become discouraged
with hop raising and are very gen
erally abandoning the work and
finbarkhg in tho dairy business
which is being quite successfully
introdueoj in that agricultural sa1
tion. Mi. CrosAan estimates that
from 5 to 10 per cent of the hop
acreage in the vicinity of Yakima
has Inten plowed up, which is ret
ponsihlo for the prosjH ct of a re
duced yield this year.
Reports from Western Washing
ton are that the 1VK.K) crop will lie
about the same as for last year. In
that section spraying is lieing more
generally and thoroughly prose
cuted than in other sections. The
total yield for Washington this
year is estimated at from 30,000 to
to 35,(100 bales.
The hop situation in New York
is backward,' which gives promise
ot a shortage that will materially
increase tho price of Oregon hops.
Tho condition in New York state is
given in tho following letter receiv
ed by Food and Dairy Commit'
sioner Bailey from 0. Hunting,
Commissioner of Agriculture of New
York: " ,;
"Will you write mo at the ear
liest moment consistent with your
knowledge of tho facts, tho condi
tion of the hop crop of your state
for 1900: First, as to quality; sec
ond, as to tho nuinK'r of boles.
"The proHjHeta for the crop in
this state are that it will bo small,
due to the heavy winds Und the
cold and backward season, as the
vines are short and tho acreage has
been reduced materially."
Mr. liailey answered thoabovo
by saying that present prospects
forecasted a crop of good quality
and quantity. If tho warm, bright
weather continued, tho quality, he
said, would be excellent. The quan
tity, from .present indications, will
bo from 10,000 to 15,000 bales short
of last year, which yielded 85,000
bales. !
Hop raising has been spoken of
as synonymous with gambling.Hays
the Chehalis Nuggett. It is quite
a gamble. Tho brewer can be com
pared to tho bloated aristocrat who
runs the house. Tho dealer is the
hired man who tends the game and
rakes in tho percentage, and tho
growers art like the boys who nit
around the outside of the table and
fritter away their hard earned mo
ney. Once in awhile they make a
winning, then Mr. Dealer pats them
on the back and advises them to
double their bets and get rich while
they cm, and in a little while there
is an over-production and a grand
razzlo dazzle in which the dealer
rakes in everything in sight and the
bouncer comes around to make
room for a new crop of "speculators"
A hop grower, in answer to the
question as to the price for pirkingi&woue year,
this ye tr, told the West bide that
he thought the growers would pay
40 cents per box.
, There seems to be ft difference of
opinion as to tho price indifferent
localities. It seems to be generally
understood that some yards would
pay 35 cents. Silverton growers
met and icsolvod to pay but 334
cents, with a $50 fine to the man
who paid a higher rato.
Tickers aro not engaging thorn
selves very fast, although some of
tho growers havo engaged all the
help they need. ;
Hops aro coming on in good
shape and present indications are
favorable both as to quantity and
quality, Many, pickers will be
heeded,' and though the price hue
not yet been definitely settled it is
the goneral opinion that it won't be
under 35 cents per box.

New llumestestl Law Explained.
The general land ollice has lent
out a circular letter to the register
aud receivers of offices through
out tho West setting forth the terms
of tho law relative to tho acquire
ment of homesteads on western
public lands. The oints brought
out are that persons who have al
ready made entries are not disqual
ified from tho bunollts ot the general
homestead laws, but can make
nother entry. It also set forth
that under the law those who have
commuted their entries by the pay
ment of cash in lieu of a longer
period of residence are entitled to
. i l mi
secure another nomesiuau. inu
circular letter quotes tho sections
of the law that apply, and then
enters into their explanation. 1 ho
act is that of Juno 5, 1900, passed
in the closing hours of the last
session, and tho letter says:
Section 2 provides that any
jterson who has heretofore made a
homestead entry and commuted
sumo under section 21101, Revised
Statutes, and the amendments
thereto, shall bo entitled to tho ben
efits of the homestead laws, as
though such former entry had not
been made; but commutation under
suction W01, Revised Statutes shall
tot be allowed ot an entry made
Uider this section.
JMeetlon three provides that any
.'Kelsrfn Who, prior to the passage o(
this act. has made a homestead
entry, but from any cause has lntt
or forfeited the same, shall ho entit
led to the mtnefits ot tho homestl ad
laws, as though such former entry
had not been made. Therefore you
will not hereafter reject a homestead
application on the ground that tho
applicant cannot take the prescri
bed oath that lie has not previously
made such an entry, or because he
ms perfected title under section
2.'10l, Revised Statutes, to land en
tered under the homestead law; but
he will be required 10 show by affi
davit, designating tho entry form
erly made by description of tho
land, number and date of entry or
other sufficient data, tax enable mo
to identify tho sumo on the re. or us
of this office, and that it was for
faited or commuted, as the case may
be, prior to the passage of this act.
In any ease where the former
entry was made subsequent to the
date of tho act tho rule 01 a previous
circular dated July 11, 1899 ro
mains unchanged. It will bu ob
served that an entry made under
section 2 can not bo perfected by
com mutation under . section 2.(01,
Revised Statutes. Tho tact that
applicants have purchuscd, under
tiio provisions of tho act of March
2, 1SX5, lands patented to the Flat
head Indians in Montana shall not
bo held to have impaired or ex
hausted their homestead rights by
or on account of any such purchase.
Threshing Trices.
At a meeting of Linn County
threshers it was decided to raise the
price 1 cent, doing oats for 5 and
wheat for 0 cents. A short crop is
assigned as the reason for the ad
vance. ".'" "' :"
Some people put advertising "on

The Hon. Ilonry W Corbott is a

L'aVfc awaited the termination of the
case before1' making' tho effort to ex
cite, sympathy on the ground, of
being a martyr. Because has been
charged 'with stealing a. wife's af
fections is no reason whatever that
the. people should Bend' him to
Washington as their representative
in the eenato. It is truly laugh
able. What greatly tends to make
it more ridiculous is that Portland
has elected a distinctively anti
Corbctt legislative ticket. .Why do
not this old man's friends lead him
