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.

"Wet Hen," "Horse Neck" and

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.

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.

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

long credit I will take bothshirts."

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

Everything that is going Into 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

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.

Vashington, August 20, 1900.
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. We shall
need all the prestige we have gain-
eu y our uisuuereeieu poucr w

known but un vowed, of our allies
who are not disinterested. We
have great commercial nuoresu at

which are believed by many of our
statesmen and business men to be
absolutely necessary to inocoiuin-
ued prosperity of the U. ., and
we have European rivals for those

they may be settled in the Philip

said: 'The people everywhere are
busy, much too busy to bother their
heads about political questions that
do not directly affect them. 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. Merriman, of Spring
field, Illinois, who is now in Wash
ington, when asked for his opinion
of political conditions in the middle
West, about which so much is being
gai(j n the partisan press, replied

knows of flocks of birds that range

that boys and men with guns and

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
