THE WEST SIDE J08, A. C. BRANT, Bdtuwmd rmprtetor. BUBMCKliTlON RATKS. fwvlv month. .l W Tbrm fliraa lauiiUim- 8ATURDAY, BEPTEMRER 1, 1900. It teems to be pretty hard to find anything in the shape of a govern ment in China just now to make peaeo with. However, a pretty fair imitation of making war seems to be maintained without much difli culty, deepilo the same embarrass ment. When old Noah built hla ark the people of hie time called him cranb, but the colored clergyman of Texas who has just done the same " thiug encouuters no such contume ly. Noah's neighbors had never been up against Texas cloudbursts. "Wet Hen," "Horse Neck" and "Nose Cooler" are sauible names of new cold drinks said to be aV pre entin vogue at Washington. So do the great brains of the nation's statesmen become known to the people at large through the products which they put forth. Our little regular army of 27,000 men has busied itself with foreign travel during the last two years. The Hth Regiment of infantry, much to the surprise of its old Indian fighters, is now on duty in Pekin. 4 " Vice Consul Reed, at Madrid, has informed the state department that by a decree, time in Spain is here after to' be counted from one to twenty-four hours, the order to go into effect January 1, the day to begin at midnight. The inter val between midnight aud 1 o'clock will be designated by a cipher and the number of minutes as 0, 5; 0, 59 The officers of telegraph, telephone. railroad, steamship lines and al public offices are to observe the new method. ft ft ft The West Side is in receipt of a neat pamphlet from the Hood River Glacier, embodying all the Kood points of that famous valley. Bro Blytbe, the author, deserves the congratulations of his neighbors on his good work, which surely wi bring results. The jury in the Powers trial in Kentucky brought in a verdict guilty in forty-five minutes, a sur prisingly short time in view of the complications of the cese and the contradictory nature of the evidence as published from day to day. It is either a verdict predetermined or reached by the jury without discus sion after the cise was submitted to it. When a legislative board of contest was needed at Frankfort to seat Goebel the names of ten demo crats and one republican were fished out of a box prepared for the occa sion. The same box may have been used to procure the jury that brought in its verdict of imprison ment for life with such singular swiftness Saturday. ft ft ft Senator Jones, of Akansas, chair man of the democratic national committee, is one of the directors in the American Cotton company, a corporatitn with 300 plants in the cotton states and controlling the round-bale process. Some in teresting legal testimony on this point is given in a dispatch from Waco, Tex. The American Cotton company is shown to have an om nivorous appetite for smaller con cerns and for monopolizing an im portant industry. Senator Jones is not disposed to let the Tammany ice trust put on airs over the west ern branch. His cotton bale trust is one of the fattest monopolies yet taken into the courts. ft ft ft A discharged soldier recently re turned from the Philippines tells a tale of a shirt that is too good to be lost. His company was return ing from a long and tiresome scout ing trip, in which most of their wearing apparel was lost, when he saw on a clothesline in the grounds of a residence adjoining a big stone church two very good shirts hung out to dry. As he had at that time only half a shirt to his back, he nrnceeded to help himself to a L whole one, whereupon a woman came out of the house and said in passable English; "You will pay for that on judgement day." Mad am, he replied, "if you give such long credit I will take bothshirts." which he proceeded to clo. ft ft ft A farmer in Clay county la. has a bin containing about 800 bushels of wheat. About a month ago he proposed to market the grain, but on going to the bin he discovered that a hen had established her neBt on the wheat, was setting there, and that to remove the grain would "break her up." He decided not to disturb her. By the time she came off with her chicks the price of wheat had advanced until the armer had gained over $100 The O amorr. The boiler, churn, npartir, cream vat, and a few other fixture connected with a first claw cream- ery arrived Friday evening of last j wek and are now In place, Everything that is going Into the ,)lant,Mr. Eldridge says, will be new and ol tho latest pattern. The churn is different from any ever seen here, being shaped like a bar- rel and beside being used to churn tho cream into butter, it is also used to work the butter. Mr. Eldridge believes that ho will be able to make butter next week, possibly on Wednesday. Now that the recent partial fail- nre of the wheat crop has demon- strated to the farmers of the valley n.itv of ..iversiftal farming it 1 thoucht that there will be no diilicultv in keerina the creamery going to its full capacity.

The disadvantages are The expense. The labor of running tho separ ator. Despite tha fact that there many separator creameries in Iowa, there is still a great number of large dair- ies. and innumerable smaller ones, that still pursue the old wasteful methods of gravity creaming. To these, where the dairy is large enough to warrant the expense, the hand separator comes as a money making machine without a aouri. SSlilV from six to nine-tenths of one per cent of fat, while the beet separators will take out practically all the fat, and give a better quality of cream. the milk is certainly desirable. It seems to be a self-evident proposi- tion that the use of the farm separ- ator m'll soon become the regular thing in connection with gathered cream factories. - It is not to be expected that the use of the farm separator will be- come universal and so crowd out the 8!parator creameries, but only tho larger dairies will take advan- tage of its usefulness, and that the smaller producers will still continue the preacnt system, and the natur- al growth of the industry all over the state will Bupport all the cream- cries we now have, and in a few years will support twice as many as at present. State Fair. "Not room enough" is the com- plaint now being made to the state board of agriculture by those who wish ' to evhibit livestock at the coming Btate fair. This is the first time in many years that this com- plaint has been made. The entries of livestock for exhibition have al- ready been numerous enough to take up all the available stalls, and many more entries will be made. But the board will not let a lack of room prevent stock from being en tered for exhibition at the fair. President Wehrung, Secretary Wis- dom, and G. L. Itees came to Salem Saturday evening to look over the ground and make arrangements for the construction of as many more stalls as may be needed. They re- tnained there until Tuesday even- ing and ordered several improve- ments that are made necessary by the increase in tne entries mr tne races and exhibits. The machinery shed will probably be enlarged and some improvements will be made in the pavillion. Secretary Wis- dom will remove his office to Salem about September 1, and will remain thereuntil after- the fair. Both rreaiaent Wenrung ana secretary Widom will devote their whole time from now until September 17 to the work of preparing for the greatest state fair Oregon has ever known. E. 0.

American! have no reason to complain of the ending of the first cnapicr in mo viunoso story, wuat- ever turn may be taken in the sub- salient chapters. Our government hat taken a loading part in the movements, both diplomatic and military, which have led to the rescue of the foreigners, including our Minister and a number of other Americans, who occupied such a perilous position in l'okin for a pertoa ol nearly two nionttis, and our prestige has been added to thereby, B it in rejoicing over the safety of. those who were in-grave danger in Pekin, it is not forgotten that the immediate future is full of perilous possibilities.

They could not Ihj brougl to this country without an act of Congress, owing to tho anti-Chi nese law.

The spellbinders will have a lot of trouble stirring up any enthusiasm this year, aud, and despite the in crease in population, I predict that the vote will be much lighter than it was four years ago. Men had nothing to do those days but talk politics, and everybody got excited over tho issue and went to the poll and voted." Mr. U. O.

Tho nlmeiico of smoke, which us ually clouds tho sky at this season of the year, remarks the Kvsning telegram, has been noticed by so many, especially the old timers, that much inquiry has been made in search tor explanation of it. A oUwe observer, who has noted the unusual clearness of the August at' mosphere, says that it is duo very argeiy to the admirable system of iroiocung our wrest reserves, now in practice throughout the coast. forest tlrtm are prevented and U was heretofore tho mountain l&3k that so darkened the heavens witt smoke in tho Fall time. i i "This is not the only commend able feature of the law nrotectin. our forest reserves," said thiiM-i server. "Tho saving of hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of mer chantable timber should be noted as one of the valuable results of the forest reserve statute and its faith ul enforcement. Hunters, camp ers and tourists have heretofore ccn so criminally careless in the matter of starling forest fires and caving them to tho winds, that millions of dollars' worth of oui finest timber bus been destroyed. "I he new system of protecting our forests will save to the North west much wealth of timber; and when It is realised that toward us the lumber merchants of the great est mar s of the world are looking for supply the inestimable value of this new system w;u lu apprcciat ed" And now comes Lot I.. Pierce, of Marion county, who says he will introduce a bill in tho next legisla ture to make the open season ht Denny pheasants begin AugaM 15 and end November 15. Now Lot, dont you do any such thing unless you want to see the Denny pheas ants exterminated. Leave the Uw as it now standi, but wmw its provis ions strictly. If you open the shooting season so early, the little birds will not havo a chance to get a way from the fool boy and his gun. Even now the West Side knows of flocks of birds that range from little bits of chicks to full grown youngsters. The reason Iho birds are so shy on Octoler 1st is that boys and men with guns and dons don't wait until that date tho legal onoto do their hrnHj-.g; They must be out at any and all times, not only breaking the law but spoiling the siwrt of those who are willing to act legally. Should ono of these gentry, be informed upon, though, holy smoke, what a racket! . j The Salem Statesman says: "Reports are being received from the country that Chinese pneasants and other upland birds are being hunted indiscriminately, and that the game laws are being constantly violated, despite the fact that Stale Game Warden Quimby and his deputies are constantly on the alert for these violators " The West Side is of tho opinion that neither Mr. Quimby nor his deputies are very alert in the mat tcr of looking up thor-e who are continually shootine birds out of season, Perhaps if some one will gather all the facts and forward them to the game warden ho might look into the matter, but just now there don't seem to be any game wardens in this county over zealous in the performance of their duties, Every little while, the West Side is informed, birds are brought to town and sold as dressed chickens.

Kansas corn till suffers from the effects of the dry spell, but Kansas wheat is by fsr the largest crop of that eeiea ever harvested In that stato. Later reports may show, too, that the corn Is not injured as much as was feared. This is going to be a great year for the United States.
