There is a New York nun in TltC Dalles who wants to start barrd factory in tho Ute, aomovhere handy to timber. He wi)i want plenty of oak gtul. Well, now, gentlemen of th In dependence Board of Trade, here U an opportunity for some good uork. While a barrel factory isn't very much, it will help to swell business and every Uttlo helps. We have plenty of room for these industries and any quantity of raw material for a barrel factory. Come, gentlemen, get in touch with thia New York man. It is said that there are three kinds of people in tho world, .the wills, the won'U and the can'ts. The first accomplish , everything, the second oppose everything, and the third fail in everything. ' Within two years the 9th U. S. infantry has fought Spaniards, Fil ipinos and Chinese, and traveled from east to west 10,000 miles. Ser vice under Uncle Sam has ceased to mean quiet garrison duty. ' - A St. Louis man wants to trade us some breakfast food for .adver tising. Now that is something like, says Newt Bry'son. We don't care whether it is breakfast food, dinner food or Buppcr food. Jusl bo it is feed. We are getting tired of getting propositions for swap ping ad vet Using for electric belts, liver pills, patent chums and cot tage organs and we welcome the feed proposition as a shipwrecked mariner welcomes the sight of land. Send on your feed, brethren, and get your advertising. ' The late Count Muravieff was so "incurably double" that Russia was frequently suspected of designs of which Bhe was innocent. For tunately, the old diplomacy by which "an ambassador was sent abroad to lie in the service of his country" is going out of fashion. It has been found as costly as the economy of the farmer who made a fence of unseasoned boards. He said they twisted the posts out of the ground, twistod themselves off the posts,' and actually twisted wrinkles in his corn-field! We need not look for a better ar gument for diversified and intensi fied farming in tho Willamette val ley, says the Eugene Register, than is contained in this year's shortage in the wheat crop. Witlrin the last thirty years the valley has been wheated to death. Land, like the human stomach, becomes nauseated by too much of a sameness. , The valley lands have been crying out for a number of years for a change of crops and unless that cry iB heeded the soil will ultimately re fuse to produce a bushel of wheat. Give it a chance for its life. There - is no need of rushing our valley lands into a premature grave by everlastingly and eternally demand ing wheat when other productions would be restful to the soil and restore in it the fountain of per petual youth. The extraordinary carelessness of ' parents in leaving dangerous drugs within reach of children is in mark ed contrast with governmental su pervision over druggists and phy sicians. A few weeks ago a man bought some chloroform with which to kill a dog, and while waiting to use it, wrapped the bottle in a cloth and tucked'it into a work-basket. Two little children found it, pre sumably fancied it a doll, and took it to bed with them. In the morn ing the child clasping the uncorked bottle was found dead; the other unconscious, past recovery. So bit ter an experience emphasizes the oft-repeated and oft-forgotten warn ing that the first essential for the family medicine-chest is a lock and key. . One of the charges which the Chinese make against the "foreign devils" is that they dig up the soil and thereby release evil spirits which prey upon human life. It is true that much mortality fol lowed the founding of the English settlement at Hongkong, and deaths have been frequent since the dig ging in and around the new Ger man town of Tsing-tan. A writer in the Forum offers the' explana tion, which the Chinese are too superstitious to accept. The soil in both ; places is disintegrated granite, and has been so long occu pied by a dense, population that, except where it is frequently aerated by agriculture, it is reeking with disease germs. The "evil spirits" released by the spac'.e are bacteria. The .farmers of the Willamette vliey stand face to (ace with what practically a failure of the grain ,ops. While the yields reported would not iu many other states be deemed a crop failure, yet In Ore gon failure is the only thing to call yields so small. It is practically the first in the history of the Wil lamette valley and because it is so general there is universal toaroh tor some new and strange pest to be blame! for the widespread damage. Of course, says the Corvallis Tin es, pests may have assisted, but it has not been bugs or worms or weather that has done all tho dam age. Underlying suuh damage as these may have wrought, there is a tar greater cause for the shortened crops. For forty years Willamette vallev farms have been cropped in wheat. Every bushel grown Jhai taken from the soil a portion of tho original nutriment. It has been demonstrate.! that when a farmer hauls to market a load of wheat tha.t brings him 115, he hauls away also in his load 17.50 worth of thia wheat nutriment. Drained and drained of it strength for yre and years, the fields have reached that stage of impoverishment whore the old time yield of grain can no Ion ger be expected. Thus nffocted in a year of unfavorable climatica like the present has been, tho weakness of the soil betrays itself and there is general failure This is our chief pest. Its cure is a rotation of crops and a keeping as far as possible of the. soil pro ducts on the farm by larger atten tion to stock" aud otherwise. Iowa's redemption from poverty to thrift bv the latter process, stands as fh controvertible proof of wherein lies the Oregon farmers' opportunity But the Times fails to explain shy crops fell short oj new land which had never been seeded before, just as much as on old fields. , A man coming up from tho Tort land a few daye ago, said he was looking for a steady job. He ba; been working in Eastern Oregon where he said the work wasn steady enough, so he threw up the job ho had and started for the val ley. He began work at 4 o'clock in tho morning, stopped for a few minutes for breakfast,-worked un til noon, stopped a short time for dinner, worked until 6 o'clock stopped for supper, and then worked until 9:30, when they quit work entirely until 4 o'clock next morning. Wnat he wanted was a place where there was work all the time. Albany Democrat. "Post Check" Money. A bill is before congress which. if it shall become a law, will great ly simplify the sending of money through the mails. It provides that all $1, $2 and $5 bills now in use shall be replaced by new bills of like denominations to be known as "post check" bills. The design of the new bills is to provide blank lines on which any owner of a bil who desires to send it away may write the name and address of the person to whom it is sent. This makes the bill payable to that per son or his endorsee by the post master. The bill must also be stamped with a 2c postage stamp, which is to be cancelled by writing on it the date and tho sender's initials. The bill is thus contfo verted into a check upon Uncle Sam, which is as safe as a bank draft for sending. The bill before congress provides also for , the is suance of fractional currency in the form of little post check bills, which may be converted into checks by writing the name and address of the payee and affixing and can celling a lc stamp. The convenience of such a sys tem will be especially advantageous for farmers in making up their re mittances for periodicals, books and merchandise. .. The details "can be all attended to at home and with out the "red tape" and with but a fraction of the expense of the money system. It is estimated that the revenue derived from the stamps used in this post check system will far more than repay the cost of is suing new bills to take the place of those retired by this system. A further advantage will be tho rapid retirement of bills before they be come old and disease-infected, . . The measure is strongly urged by mail order dealers, by publishers and by officials of tho post , office department. Its utility is so mani fest that congress should pass the bill without delay. . -.. - To Test Parity of Water. Ho much sickness is attributed to the use of impure water that it would sometimes save suffering and doctors' bills if tests were oc casionally made of the drinking water. A simple and safe test, well known by chemists, is as fol lows: Draw a tumblerful from the tap at night, put a piece of white lump sugar in it and place it where the temperature will not be under 60 degrees. In the morning, the water; if pure, will be perfectly clear; if contaminated by sewage or other impurities, the water will be milky. IMJI M Hll.l. I l.i II. 1 1 I. LJ.1IMIHM1I m - I WASHISUTOS ' LETTER. Washington, D. C, August 0. The Chinese government is either throwing off the mask and defying the powers rr it making a gigantic bluff. Its notice to the powers that tho foreign mmuteri at I'ckm would not be allowed to send or re ceive cipher messages is an acknow- edgemont that the ministers are prisoners, held as hostages, and in eti ad of resultiug in stopping the tho march of the allied army to I'ekln, it is likely to hurry It, if any thing can conquer the international jealousy and bickerings sufficiently to hurry it. The war department now knows that the press dispatch es announcing the starting of the army for I'ekln, were premature It also know considerably more about tho situation at Taku aud at Tien Tsin, as it has received two long messages from Gen. Chaffee, which it was deemed inadvisable to maka public. In view of tho strong and nggres live attitude this government has taken in demanding its treaty rights in China, it becomes import ant for everybody to know just what those rlabts are. First and foremost, of course, comes the obli gation of tho signatory powers to protect the person of each others ministers, diplomatic and consular airents. This all the world now knows, notwithstanding many con Hiding statements, tho Chinese gov eminent failed to do, and there are grave doubts as to whether it even made the attempt to do until after it imagined it heard the tramp o tho allied army on its way to IVkin Next in importance is that section of tho treaty dealing with citizens of either country residing in the othof. That promised the broadest protection, in tho exact words of the treaty, promising to "assure to citi zona of t'e U. S. in China, and to Chinese in the U. S. cntiro liberty of conscience ami exemption from disability or persecution on account of their religious faith or worship in either country." It is not denied that American citizens have been butchered by Chinese, for no other causo than their practice and preaching of Christianity; That is another count that China must set tie satisfactorily with this govern munt. To what extent our com mercial treaty rights have been vio- lated is not yet definitely known but every dollar of damage done will have to be paid by China, wit interest. Revenge is not dictating the policy of this government which is asking no more and wil take no less than what belongs to it under its treaties with China Director Morriam, of . the census bureau, could safely offer a valuabl prize to tho city that is satisfied with the census rttums of its popu lation with little danger of bavin to award it. If there is such a city it hasn't been heard from, while the dissatisfied ones are heard. from hourly by mail, by 'io and by word of mouth, and the hearing is not pleusant for Director Merriam and his immediate subordinates The burden of all tho complaints is tho same. Tho overlooking thousands that should have been counted. Of courso, on genera principles, tho census officials deny that anybody was overlooked by tho enumerators, but they are nevertheless a little uneasy on. ac count of the threats of business men in several cities to have a new census tak-m at their owny expense. just to show the carelessness and worthlessness of that made by the U. 8. Prominent citizens of Cin cinnati insist that at least 40,000 names wore omitted in taking the census of that city. A Jfew Yorker, who haa been in Cuba for nearly. a year thus gave his impression of matters over there, in a talk with a Washington friond: "Strange as it may seem tho people who are now showing themselves to be the best friends of tho U, S and the most grateful for what this nation has done for Cuba are tho ones who nave been given the least consideration by tho rep resentatives of our authority in tb island. This is probably more be cause they have not sought to ob strudo upon the American author ties than from any intention of the latter to slight them. The theory of our officials seems to have been that tho noisy demagogues, tho agi tators who were liable to foment trouble, had to be kept in line by the use of patronage, of the island, and the result is that the best class es in Cuba have had little or noth ing to do with tho temporary gov ernment. For the good of Cuba it is to bo hoped that the administra tion will come now to realize its mistake and that these safe and re liable Cubans will supplant tho ir responsible classes in the formation of the permanent government.

Tho giant university of the west that has been so splendidly en dowed by Mr. Rockfellor hsi a most interesting exhibit at I'aris, show ing features of university work and experimental scientific apparatus. Many of the instruments shown were invented by l'rof.. Nicholson, nd made in the university labora tory, Among theso is an apparatus or anylixlng sound; a ruling en glue for drawing lines of great fine ness on metal; a machine for mens uring lengths ami angles to the ac curacy of a wave length of light, and several others of interest to scientists and siMcialists, Univer sity extension is picturesquely ex pressed by map shotting its great spread and progress. A glance at these maps will show that the work has btyn extended from westont Pennsylvania to the Hawaiian Js- lands Foreign savants and edu cators are no little impressed with the immensity and growth of tie Pki.iUf.rk t T .1 1 ... .pull Tho tJritisn ana American ex hibitors at Paris are holding re unions twice a month in Paris, and are getting better acquainted with each other at the festal board. Their last dinner ami smoking con cert, as it is called, was held at the Restaurant des Palais Avenue do Suffen. Theso reunions of a people who speak the same language, and the language which is rapidly be coming the universal language, will no doubt have an effect to strength en friendship between the many in dustrial representatives of the two nations assembled in Paris. By showing my card as the representa tive of your paper, I secured ad mission last week to the English pavilion, notwithstanding tho fact that it was closed that day. Tho manaiteineut is in the habit of des ing it every rainy Buy to prevent tracking it with mud and wetting it with the drippings from umbrel las. This building is ono of the most interesting of the pavilions in tho Rue des Nations., It isarcpro duction of Kingtlon House, brad ford on Avon, and a fino example of the old English residence. It includes private' apartments for the use of tho Priuce of ' Wales, If be shall visit thoex)osition. Hundreds of barrels of choice American apples are a part of tho agricultural exhibit of tho United States in Paris. They aro kept In cold storage. Small lots are ex hibited from day to day in order to keep a fresh supply in the glass receptacles. French, Herman, Swiss and Italian fruit growers aro very much astonished at this display. The cold storage is especially puz zling to them. Chicago must be credited with the daring and enterprise of setting up an American barber shop with American barber chairs, in the heart of Paris. Tho shop is not far short of an Amcrica-n exhibit, al though it is not within tho grounds Frenchmen and foreigners stand without aim look on with curious surprise. .The American barber chair is much more elaborate and luxurious than the little stiff-backed chairs in which Frenchmen aro ac customed to bo shaved. Another exhibit scarcely less in teresting is an American boot black, with an improved chair and paraphernalia for producing shine. His use of J. wo brushes and a ribbon of cotton producing a brilliant polish astonishes the na tives. Ho is doing a thriving busi ness, and is perhaps tho only artist in Paris capable of giving boots the brilliant finish they get in America. Tho members of tho jury on wines had a most sumptuous ban quet last week at the hotel Mar cuory. It was given by Prince. Galitzino, tho forema'n of the jury The Parisian papers call it a Lucul his, feast, v Twenty-two kinds of wines were served. The bldest was a sherry of 1754, and tho youngest a' JohanneBberg of 1S63. Tho first wino served was an oporto, of 1815. It would seom ro markablo that this jury was abletc; render n verdict on tho comparative merits of tho wines after this foast. The Russian ambassador, Prince Ouroussoff, presided and the guests included prominent representatives in official life. Tho two twenty-two times happy Americans present we're Mr. Lee J. Vance, of New York, and Dr. IIV W. Wiley, of Washington. The dinnerlasted from' seven P. Mr until midnight.
