THE WEST SIDE JOS. A. C. BRANT, KdlUw and Proprietor. . HUIWORIPTION RATKS. , (IN DVANt .... Tbnte tnouu . Ml SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, MOO. While prosperous. rrwiideHt Har per of tho University of Chicago is trying that experiment of living on fifteen centa ft day, it mightn't he a bad ido for him to hand over the difference between that sum and his usual daily income to some poor follow who has already hwn trying the economy tent, and uot for fun.. An exchange says that , tho wife of a MethodM minister in an Iowa town has been" married throe time. Her maiden name war Partridge, her first husband's name wa Hob bins, the second was Sparrow, and the present one is Quayle. There are two Robbing, one Sparrow and two little Quayles and the family lives on Jay street. One might almost b forgiven for auggosting that the lady is a '"bird."'- A paper in a Missouri town tells of a girl who played the piano at a social gathering recently, and gave some selections from lieothoven, When she finished there was a very strange silence, and she turned to find her audience in a faint. It was the first music they had heard that was not rag-time in seventeen months. ft The beach road running from 11- waco up the coast has been sold to the 0. R. A N. company. We may look now for extensive improve ments; perhaps the road will be ex tended up the Columbia river with a possible conjunction at Portland with the .old company's lines ft ft T. W. Wann, residing across the river in Polk county, about three miles from this city, says the baleru Statesman of Tuesday, yesterday swore to a complaint charging V, L. Leab) with stealing from his farm on Saturday night, an over coat, a handsaw, a wrench, file, screwdriver and various other arti cles to the value of 110. Some of articles were sold to parties in this city and the accused, who was ar rested yesterday and placed in the city jail, practically admits the charee. He will go to iail for 60 days. ft ft ft The contemplated extension of the Corvallis & Eastern railroad from its eastern terminus at Detroit in Linn county, to Klamath coun ty, in Southern Oregon, would de velop the great yellow and sugar pine belt of Oregon. The projected line follows the grade made many years ago for the old Oregon Pacific most of the old grade remaining and some 'of it being intact. In fact, the track is complete for sev eral miles west from Ontario. ft ft ft Notice has just been issued by the United States land office that a change has been made in the home stead laws. Hitherto a person who had commuted, that is, lived a por tion of the required time on the homestead and bought the home stead clear, had exhausted his title and could not homestead another claim. This order of things has been reversed, and a commuter can take another, claim, according to information received at the various land offices. ft ft ft D. C. O'Reilly of the Columbia Southern Co., has brought suit against the other officials of the company for $130,000. Mr. O'Reily claims to be one of the incorpora tors of the company, but thinks a game of freeze out is being played on him. This promises to be one of the biggest suits ever heard in the courts of Sherman county, ft ft ft Never forget that advertising pays, that is, right advertising, and there is as much in the way you handle this portion of your business as there is in the way you stock up or buy. A glance over the pages of any large daily will prove this. Get your advertisements up in an attractive way. "Catch the eye," should be your idea at all times. When the eye is pleased you have the "people coming." ' ft ft ft Game Warden L. P. W. Quimby, reports that there are very few in fractions of the game laws at pres ent, as people are beginning td' have respect1 for the game laws. He is appointing new deputies daily One measure that has proved very eatisfactory is the appointing of deputies from Portland and send ing them out to districts where the game laws have been violated. The offenders will not recognize the strangers as Deputy Game Wardens , and will be liable to commit some act which . will betray them. If any one is appointed from their own district as a deputy, offenders will keep close watch all the time and elude detection. Mr. Quimby might send a deputy or two to this county. Bright and early every morning can be heard the popping of shot guns and the West Side has been told of many infractions of the law, but no names wer.e given. ' . Crop Failure i Prof. A. XS. Cordley, of tho agri cultural college at Corvallis, has analysed samples of grain and In a letter to a farmer peaks of poU and tho partial crop failure as fol lows: "Tho Insect that Is referred to as feeding Inlhe joints of wheat straw Is commonly known ai the Joint worm, and belongs to( the chaloid genus Ieosoina. It is an insect cap able of doing considerable injury, in fuel there was one period during the first half of tho century when the farmer in certain parts of the east were compelled to abandon the growth of cereal for a short time, on account of It. So far as I have observed in this vicinity, however, only a small portion of tho stems are infested, and I believe that this insect Is only in a very slight de- greo responsible for the general fail- uro of tho wheat crop. ' "In certain sections in tho lower part of tho valley tho what has been badly injured by the Hessian fly, and of course throughout tho valley it has been slightly injured by the aphis, but undoubtedly most of tho injury is duo to our system of farming, and to unfavorable cli- matio conditions, by the growth of wheat after wheat, without the in tervention of clover or other similar cros, and particularly by our sy tern of summer fallowing, a very large projuirtion of humus has dis appeared from the soil, which, in consequence, has a tendency to be come cloddy. , ''The frequent rains of last sum mer, alternating with drying weather, urobablv increased this tendency, and as there was practi cally no frost last winter to , break up these clods, the soil has re mained in a condition very un favorable for the retension of the capillary moisture which is so es suntinl to plant growth." Mr. Cordley also requests that farmers send him samples from dif ferent parts of the state where this joint worm is found, so that he may be able to study distribution and amount of injury done. Want a Subldjr. Fred V Carter, the manager of the Pioneer Woolen Mills at Dallas, has made a proposition to the chamlcr of commerce of Astoria, to put into operation a woolen mill in that city if a subsidy of 122,000 would be given to put up the neces sary buildings on a site to .bo do nated by the chamber of commerce It is understood if tho proposition is accepted tho mill at Dallas wil be moved to Astoria. 1 he reason for moving tho plant is said to be the scarcity of help and tho inade quale water supply. Volunteers' Medal. Seven hundred medals being pro sen ted by tho state to the soldiers participating in the Spanish war and Filipino insurrection remain uncalled for at the olhoe of Adju tant General Uantonbein. One thousand have been delivered, and the adjutant general is anxious to have the others claimed by thoir rightful owners. The medals for the Oregon Lngmcer corps have been complete-.! and are now ready for delivery at the same oiuce. uregon papers pleaee copy. flood Roads. With a view to promoting and increasing the interest in good roads the Olfice of Public Road Inquiries of the United States Department of Agriculture has recently inaugu rated a movement to interest the authorities and students of the ag ricultural and mechanical colleges in the subject of road improvement To this end object lesson road im provement work has been done a the Agricultural College of New Jersey, New Brunswick; at the Agricultural Collece of Rhdde Island, Kingston; at the University of Tennessee, Knoxvillc, and at Clemson College, Calhoun, S. C. A Reading (Pa.) man buried one wife on Tuesday and married second on Thursday, having the double honor of celebrating tho first funeral and the ' first wedding in a new church edifice. He is entit led to the record. ft ft ft , Tho Geographical Center. Emporia, Kansas, used to be the geographical center of the United States. It is a town of 18,000 or 20,000 population, the homo of the late Senator numb. . On the out skirts of the city a noble monu meut was erected to mark the ctnter of the republic, the, point reached by' averaging the distance to tho tip of Florida and ; the east ern boundaries of Maine with the rest of the Atlantic and Pacific coast lines. But tho inscription on the Emporia monument will have to he amended. The annexation of Hawaii and other recent geogra phical events have made it wrong. Cooking Eggs.,;,,, To have eggs light when cxked outside the shell, stecm them rather than fry them. Break the eggs in a platter and add half a cupful of cold water. Put a spoonful of but ter in a spider, heat till it emits a blue smoke, add the eggs and water, salt, cover and let them steam till the whites are set. For boiling in the shell they must be fresh. The white of a newly laid egg, when coft boiled is like milk; one day old like rice boiled in milk; an old rgg, tough, compact and hard to digest. WASIIlMTOSn LETTER, i T Washington, I). C, August IX If Russia's order W iti minister to accept a, Chinese escort from Pekio to Tien 'Tain, after all . the other ' governments had ordered their miuisteri to remain In Pekin, should turn out to mean that a deal had been made Iwtwtmn Russia and China there would bo very little Hurprisolu Washington, where the probability of one or more of the powers supposed, to be acting in concert Against China making some sort of a dicker on their own hook for their own benefit has heen recoguliod from the first as. one of tho most prcplexing things of the wholobusiuecs. ' Neither this government nor the Chinese minister has received any ollicial notification of tho appoint ment of LI Hung Chang to boan envoy for the purpose of suing for peace. There is nothing improbable however, about such an appoint mont; but if made it is not likely to stop any of tho warlike prepara tions on the part of the powers. If present plans are can led out before lite end of September there will bo nearly a quarter of a million foreign troops In China, of which less than ten thousand will bo American? Li Hung Chang's request that this government endeavor to prevent the landing of British troops at Shang hai will lie ignored, as it is the recognized right ot any nation to laud armed forces in another coun try when it is considered necessary to protect the lives and properly of its oitueus. j. . Much depends upon how a thing is done. For a Cuban or Spanhud or anybody else, to call the average American a liar means to get knocked down, yet in'effect they are constantly calling our govern ment a liar and a cheat and tho most that any Aurican does about it is to scratch his head and won der if tho talker luia got it straight Following are words used by Mr. Roderick Alvarez, of Havana, in ft Washington hotel, while discussing tho announced intention of our gov eminent to withdraw from Cuba next year: "If the better class o the Cubans and the Spanish on the island believed that tho U. . hai, any intention of turning the island over to the Cubans you would see a Bcaltoration and romoval of every thing movable that would surprise you. Tho fact of tho matter is, we all think that the U. 8. will bo in control of tho island for tho next ten years. It is not safe to turn the island over to a people who utterly incapable of self govern ment." Ai usual, the Carnegie aftd Beth lehem companies submitted bids for supplying anuor to war ships which divided the lot required and made the price the same. A new bidder, tle Mid vale Steel Co., o Pennsylvania, entered the contest with a lower bid, but Betting a long er timo limit for the delivery of the armor and failing to specify that tho armor would bo made by the Krupp. process. Secretary Long must decide whether he will accept either of these bids or exercisa the authority conferred upon him by tho last naval appropriation bill to establish a government plant for making armor. Ho will take-up the matter as soon as ho returns to Washington. , Representative Allen ("Private Jack"), of Mississippi, whoso de feated aspiration for a seat in the senate caused him to make promis es necessitating his retirement from tho house at tho close of his presen term, dooHn't appear to be at al downcast over his early return to private life. Ho was in Washing ton this week, and speaking of his retirement he said: "I hate to quit for some reasons, but the fact is that a man must get out sooner or later, and I do not wish to hang on until I get to tho patriarchal stage. ,After oixteen years of the legisla tive grind one is justified In lotting others serve the country." Speak ing of the possibility of an extra session of congress, Mr. Allen was inclined to be a little 'sarcastic about the sizzard with which Wash ington has . been wrestling for a week. He said: "Thero isn't much chance of an extra session of con gress, but in view of Washington's well morited .reputation as 'a sum mer resort, I have no doubt the members and senators would.be gUd to be summoned here to enjoy this balmy weather." Tho ther mometer was dancing around in the upper nineties while Mr. - Allen talked. ' , . Mr. Albert Cobb, of Augusta, Ga., is one of those who believes there will sooner or later bo a big rush of gold hunters to tho . abandoned placer mines in Northern Georgia. While he was in Washington a day or two ago ho said: "Long years ago plenty of people were making money in the placer business there, hiid I know a number'of men now who aro washing out ten or fifteen do(l,irs a day in the little streams or branches. that run in the mount- ains. borne very .largo plants are in operation, and are panning out good profits, but the real extent of the' gold veins in those old bills is not understood generally. In tho olden days primitive machinery was in uho in the numerous mines thaOwere opened and worked until that machinery became Ineffective, Then the mines were deserted, and the consequence is that you can find deserted gold mines 'scattered all over that section." '., . I'ARIH KXruSlTiO.1 LETTER. From our KttguUr C'orrvxml-ut, . Paris, France, July 30. ' The buildiugi erected by the two great countries of the Orient at the Paris exposition, if not us imposing as those of o'ti of the other coun tries, are certainly among tho mmt typical and homogeneous. China and Japan, although differing wiuV ly in cviHtoms, habit and civiliza tion, have one point in common both are powerful countries with distinct . Individualities, extending even to facial tyjH'S, to architecture, to eostutues, and even to handwrit ing, Their re refutation at tho exposition, In architectural foaturet.j in decorations, and in surroundings each having a garden planted with native flowersgives an idea of life in the east. Japan is installed near tho Tro oudoro, among the buildings of Brit Itdi India and Egypt. It Is a de lightful corner of tho Orient, every thing, as I have said, being char acteristic, even to the fences which surround tho enclosure; in Iho gar den are tiny tree with twisted brandies; exotio growths of various kinds; mulberry trees, camphor trees, mahogany trees; tho princi pal touch of local color, however, is given by the Japanese themselves who work and move among the curious objects with an easy air of familiarity; small of stature and bright of face, they seem to fit Jr fuetly in their environment. Tliero aro four houses, in the gar den; most prominent is a pagoda built in tho old style of Japanese architecture; thick and heavy in construction, it resembles the Chin ese type more than the modern habitation which has been placed in clone proximity, ns if to empha size the progress made by tho Japanese in this lino, as in so many others, in recent years. Tho out lines of this edifice are delightfully simple; there are no superfluous ob jects; everything ho a raison d'etre, and everything Is in place. A tea house and bazar complete tho group of buildings. Tho pagoda, built by 'French workmen under the direction of Japanese, is a copy of the temple of Hondo, near Nara, and is a moxt interesting specimen of Japanese art. The goneral coloring is red and broiKoj it contains an histori cal exhibit of objects of Japanese workmanship sword sheaths, wall decorations, bronzes, screens, etc The tea house has been converted into a restaurant, and one can oh tain a variety of drinks, including the native sake, a sort of wine made from rice. Tho building has two stories, and is made of wood, in an open and airy design. The bazar consists of a series of little shops range! sido by side; many objects are for sale, but few can lw said to bo strictly Japanene; they aro largo ly of a class to bo found in any of tho little kiosks scattered through out tho exposition grounds, and in hundreds' of places in the United States. Thero are many factories, I am told, in America, whore these Japanese objects of art are tunic out. The managers of tho Japanese exhibit had the original and happy idea of inaugurating their buildings at night, tho gardens being illumi natod by lanterns disposed in uni que designs; the rosult was charm ing, emphasizing tho Oriental char- actor of the scene, and was much more effective than . tho daylight inauguration of the exhibits oi other countries. - . China is also located in tho grounds of the Trocadoro, next to Siberia; a situation which was doubtless dictated less through re spect to geographical considerations than by a desire to install between the two buildings the panorama of tho Siberian railway. Visitors to tho latter take their places in par lor cars, and see through tho win dows a moving panorama of scen ery, representing the country through which the road posses. The illustration ot traveling is almost perfect; ono might well think him self enroute from Moscow to Pekin. Tho Chinese also have a garden, and even a little lake and a stream, which afford opportunities for IsBabyThin this summer? Then add a little SGOTTS EMULSION to his milk three times a day. It is astonishing how fast he will improve. ; If he nurses, let the mother take the Emulsion, inc. and f i.ea all dragiUti. charming decorations in the way of bridges, promenades, etc, Ono of the most Striking edifices in this exhibit is a fcopy of the gieat gate of. Pekin ono of tho nine which enter the Chinese capital. Massive and at 'the same lime brilliant in color, It is ono of tho best models of tho art of tho country. ; Tho most conspicuous building is a reproduction of a palaoo, four storied and balconied. Tho first floor is reserved for an exhibit of furniture, ancient and modern; up stairs is a restaurant with Chinese waiters; there is also a theatre in tho building. Near the gate of I'ekiu is a copy of one of the six pavilions which constitutes the residence of the Km pnror In tho capital of tho Celestial Empire; it is a two storied structure with large balconies, so arranged that ono can always find shai ; the decorations are beautiful, the colors and contours harmonizing perfect ly; and tho whole is a pure spec! mtn of Chinese stylo. Thero aro also, In this little Chin so city, other buildings, used as stores in which vases, furniture and thcr products of the east .may be sold; and smaller edifices where various industries ore displayed; one can even see a few women all the more interesting as it is well known that they are seldom r- milted to leave their country. Their tiny feet aro esecia!ly an ob ject of attention on tho part of vinit ors, and one can hardly refrain from shuddering at the thought of tho suffering they must have under gone; little i loft of the foot save the big toe, which is about the sio of a small a, pie, with a slight pro jection on tho side of the toe. I ho whole is not longer than 3 or 4 in dies. . ll. UNDERTAKER, INDEPENDENCE, - OREGON Nttllce for I'ubllrstlmi. rim pull. Au. II. - IJWt pull. Oct. U, TIMIIKK LAN II.
