A llrol Factory.
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

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.

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

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

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.

it is not from overeating all that is
necessary is to soak the feet In hot

J: H. Joy, of Clarke county,
Wash., a successful gardener, says
when ho sets out cabbage and to
mato plants ho sprinkle a little
land Plaster in tho holo and over
tho plants then and a uln inter, if
necessary, and this keeps off inju
rious insects.
Hero is something forkillingcab-
bauo worms, and it is said to l
"dead shot": Take dog f.-nnel,make
a stronu tea of it and when cool
sprinkle it on tho cabbage, and the
worms won i even squirm auerwaiu
It will keep away all kinds ol in
