LUMBER AT $1.50 PER.
Last week the senate voted down
an amendment for dollar lumber by
the decisive vote of 24 to 44. With
out a speech the stnate began voting
on the lumber schedule as soon as
a quorum was procured.
The first vote was on the amend
ment by Senator McCumber, propos
lng a rate of $1 on 1,000 feet of saw
ed logs, Instead of the rate decided
upon by the finance committee, which
.was S1.50 per 1,000. The committee
was sustained, 44 to 24.
From the beginning of the session
there has been a decided contest over
the lumber rate and one of the hard
est fights made by the northwest sen
ator had been for free lumber.
majority was against any reduction
as- shown by the vote, and indi
cates not only that the committee'
schedule will remain unchanged from
the senate, but that the sentiment
for protective duty Is so strong there
that It will be difficult to change the
Senate rates In conference. In the
affirmative A votes In the bal
lot only ten' were cast by democrats
as follows: Bankhead, Clay, Davis,
Gore, Hughes. Johnson, McLourln,
Overman, Painter and Tillman.
The senate adopted the finance com
mlttee's schelude on lumber, 50 to
28.
Getting the Coast Together.
One hundred Californlans, under the
auspices of the California Pormotlon
Committee and other organizations of
the state, left San Francisco Saturday
evening, June 12th, for a visit to the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition on
the most elaborately equipped train
that ever traved over any railroad.
The eleven coaches and dynamo car
were equipped with telephones and
wireless telegraph, and had all the
conveniences of a modern social club.
The object of the visit was to ce
ment closer together the bonds of
friendship between the states on the
Pacific Slope, and during the entire
time of tho trip the Californlans were
"boosting" the Exposition, and work
ing for closer commercial and political
relations between all seven states of
the Slope.
This visit fully demonstrated the
desirability of a close union of all
the Pacific Slope states, which would
be of greater advantage to the whole
district. The Exposition was found
to be of vast educational benefit, as
It was an epitome of- the Industrial
development of the empire west of
the Rockies, and those who made the
trip are strong In their desire to have
every person in Idaho, Nevada, Utah,
Oregon, California and Arizona, Join
with the people of Washington In
making the Fair" the Biiccess it de
serves to be.
The Exposition Is of highest charac
ter In Us display of the products of
soil and factory, and of the arts and
sciences, and is well worthy of a visit
from that standpoint alone. The Cal
ifornia Promotion Committee, and all
those who went with It to the Exposi
tion, strongly urges upon all who are
the CoaBt region to visit the Expo
sition, thus lending their moral and
financial support to the success of the
.effort to place the Pacific Slope prop
erly before the eyes of the world.
National Irrigation Congress.
Reclamation of arid and swamp
lands, forestry, deep water ways, con
servatlon of natural resources, good
roads and . home-building will be dis
cussed by experts in these lines at
the seventeenth session of the Na
tional Irrigation Congress, which will
convene at Spokane, August 9th to
14th. It is expected that President
Taft and several members of his cab
inet, government officials, members of
congress, governors, foreign represen
tatives, railway presidents, bankers
and deligates from various states and
territories and provinces In Canada,
also representatives from Europe, the
Latin republics and Japan and China
will, participate In the deliberations.
The purpose of this congress is to
demonstrate to the West the wonder
ful development possible by the solu
tion of these problems, and to show
to the East the economic importance
and benefit to the whole country of
this development.
Even the cheerful optimism of Pres
ident Taft has been compelled to
yield In some degree to what Senator
Depew has wittily termed "the fearful
headwinds that impede the progress
of the tariff ship". What that optlm
ism which is the chlefest characteris
tic Mr. Taft has assured his friends
and acquaintances that congress would
complete its labors in time to enable
him to sped the Fourth of July at
his summer home at Beaverly, Mass
Now, however, he has been compelled
to recognize that even a simon on the
Sahara pales Into insignificance when
compared with the amount of heated
atmosphere which can be emitted by
a Senatorial orator. Being a philos
opher, as well as an optimist the pres
ident has prepared to take his family
to Beaverly on July 3, to attend the
tercentennial of the discovery of Lake
Champlaln and then return, himself,
to Washington, calmly to await the
conclusion of the tariff debate, which
he now looks for about August 1st.
Washington, from all 'reports, Is a
pretty warm city these days, but It
is probably fortunate for the. country
that Mr. Taft rather than his pre
decessor is detained In the White
House. Where it otherwise we would
have epontaneous combustion added
to this torrid weather.
Events in the senate, especially
those related to the adoption of some
form of special taxation, continue to
furnish a series of anomalies and even
at this dlstanco the antlcsf of the re
publican conservations following In
the wake of a broadmindcd republican
president ami endonvorlng with lud
icrous awkwardness to appear to like
it, furnish no small degree of enter
tainment. Observe for Instance, the
Hon. Charles W. Aldrlch of Rhodo
Island, the Hon. Eugene Halo of
Maine, and the Hon. Boles Panroso
of Pennsylvania, vulantly endeavoring
to crush back their own Irinnto nvm
pnthlcs for the corporations and to
induce such conservatives as Mr.
Bornh of Idaho, Mr. BrlHtow of Kans
as, Mr. LoFollotto of Wisconsin, nnd
Mr. Brown of Nebraska, to join with
them In separating the unfortunate
nnd Impoverished Sugar Trust, the
Steel Trust, the Tobacco Trust, and
other infiinlte American Industries
from a portion of their hard earned
proflst. And yet this Is precisely
what Is occurlng today In the Ameri
can House of Lords. It Is hardly nec
essary to remark thnt tho course of
Mr. Aldrlch and his associates is dic
tated by fear of what to them would
lie a greater evil, tho Income tax.
Nevertheless the spectacles of those
indurated conservatives making a des
perate fight, for a tax on the net earn
ings of corporations, constitutes one
of those humorous stunts in history
which probably no other nation ever
presented to an amused world.
It is not often that there is suffic
ient moral to be extracted from a
brutal murder to make it worthy of
notice in an editorial. The recently
discovered murder of Elsie Slgel of
New York, by a Chinaman who was
successively her Sunday School nuoil.
her lover, and then her murderer, Is,
nowever, an exception. This case
demonstrates so strikingly the dan
ger to American girls and young wo
men who undertake to inculcate
Christanlty In the hearts of the "heath
en Chinese," that It is worthy of some
tnongtit by all parents whose religion
zeal is such that they may at some
time be tempted to sacrifice their
daughters on this alter for missionary
fervor, it is probably a trite asser-
slon that many a true word Is snok-
en In Jest but he who will not learn
truth from humorous writings must
miss half the knowledge presented to
his understanding. It was Bret Hart,
who in humorous poem remarked that,
For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain, the heathen Chinese is
peculiar," and no truer asserslon was
ever made in the utmost seriousness
The peculiarities of the Oriental mind
are far too doep to be fathomed by
American men, to say nothing of
American "women and girls, and the
parent who permits his daughter to
enter into that close association with
Chinamen which is the inevitable out
come of Sunday School classes, should
realize that he Is far more likely to
be contributing to the work of the
Evil One than that of God. There Is
ample opportunity for the expression
of missionary zeal among the poor and
unfortunate of our own race, and the
conversion of Chinamen should at
least be left to men missionaries.
of the newspapers. Further, I know
that calling persons lobsters is
type of American slang, but I for
one do not even know what It means
The thing was literally originated
and set Into circulation by some irres
ponsible seneatlonallsts. I have never
felt that men were more to blame
than women for the disenfranchise-
ment of my sex, and until I have
cause to change this opinion I shall
certainly not take to calling names.
On the afternoon of July Fourth, at
the Exposition Auditorium, a big mass
meeting will be held to discuss "The
Duties and Obligations of Citizenship."
Many noted Suffragettes will take
part In this assembly.
In their bids for patronage, trans
continental railroads are Inaugurating
all sorts of improvements to induce
travelers to come over their particu
lar route. Among the many attract
ive Innovations are those introduced
by the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany in connection with Its dining
car service. A fifty-two-acre poultry
farm is conducted at Kent, where
eleven thousand chickens furnish on
an average 150 dozen eggs a day. In
Seattle the company operates three
large bakery ovens, having a capacity
of 2,400 two pound loaves a day. The
butter used Is from the North Yakima
creamery, incased in four wrappings
of oiled paper to protect It. Milk
is served in Individual bottles. These
Innovations are making travel to the
Northwest particularly attractive to
Easterners this year and are designed
to leave a good after-taste In all who
come to the Northwest.
The Pay Streak at the Alaska-Yu
kon-Pacific Exposition is getting the
crowds and the consessloners are
more than pleased with their business,
New attractions have been located
during the past week, among them a
gigantic merry-go-round and the Fer
ris wheel. Others are coming as the
success of the amusements has gone
abroad and excited the people who
make them their business. Nothing
is attracting so much attention as "the
Battle of the Monitor and Merrlmac.
This spectacle is Instructive because
of Its historic lesson. At the conclu
sion, the evolution of the modern
warship Is demonstrated. The owners
have sent invitations to all school
teachers in the state to attend free
of charge, so that they may have
the benefit of the picture before them
when they teach American history.
There seems to be little doubt that
Mr. Taft's proposition for taking the
net earnings of corporations will be
graven on the statute books before
tho adjounment of Congress. The
Senate loaders, finding themselves
face to face with the alternative of
this tax or a tax on Individual in
comes, have determined to accept the
former as the lesser evil, and unless
the Washington correspondents are
sadly nt fault even that extremest of
radicals "Uncle Joe Cannon" has de
termined to curtail his own profits
by taxing his longtime enemies, the
corporations.
Much Interest Is taken In the coin
ing of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, re
garded as the foremost advocate of
equal rights, who Is scheduled to ad
dress the National Suffrage conven
tion, now In session in Seattle. In
this connection, Mrs. Catt's friends
are vigorously denying that she call
ed men "lobsters and schrlmps" In an
address In London recently, accord
ing to certain printed newspaper ae-
ci'unts. Concerning the chnrge, Mrs
Cntt says the following: "I not only
did not say the thing you quote con
cerning men, lobsters and schrlmps,
but at no time in my life have I
ever said nnyUiIng which by the wild
est, st retell of Imagination could be
Itstoited into any resemblance to the
paragraph now making the rounds
Industries Center Around Cities.
The manufactures carried on in
the sections immediately surrounding
the principle cities which form the
centers of the districts are largely
controlled by capital owned by resi
dents of the cities. A considerable
proportion of the employees reside
within the cities, and frequently the
cities are the principle dlstrubltlng1
points for products. In other ways
the Industries are so closely allied to
the cities that they should be credited
to the urban rather than to the rural
manufactures. Therefore, to convey
a true idea of the industrial Impor
tance of a district, the data should in
clude statistics for the central cities
in their industrial deveolpment. This
bulletin has been prepared to show
such data for 13 industrial districts
for the years covered by the censuses
of 1900 and 1905.
The inclusion of the territory sur
rounding the central cities in these
districts has added 2,836.4 square
miles, or 2G1.9 per cent, to the trea
In 1904 the Incorporated limits of
the central cities of the 13 industrial
dlstrcts contained manufacturing In
dustries which gave employment to
i,t)!u,553 salaried persons valued at
14,702,022,170; The parts of these dis
tricts immediately outside of the cities
around which they center contained
establishments glvIuR employment to
483,597 salrled persons and wage-earn
ers ana manufacturing products val
ued at $1,421,803,317. Therefore the
inclusion of these surrounding regions
increasea the number of the employ
ees by 29.9 per cent and the value of
products by 23 per cent. In addition
to these areas Included In the Indus
trial districts there are a number of
surrounding places closely connected
Industrially and commercially with
the central cities. The manufacturing
piams in inese places reported EOS. 424
mepioyees ana products valued at
$1,251,482,925 for the year 1904. The
Industrial districts and these surround

SIGNS OF PROGRESS; A bowlder bridge.
"Oregon Is the place for you", has
been the slogan brought to the at
tention of 5,000,000 people of the coun
try through a big advertisement in
the Saturday Evening Post, placed by
the Portland Commercial Club, and
the same message has been sent to
1,000,000 more through other publica
tions. Reasons why Oregon is the
state of opportunity have been pre
sented. The 92 commercial bodies
of the state having membership in
the Oregon Development League have
been given an opportunity without
cost to them to immediately answer
thousands of new inquiries about Ore
gon. Never before has Oregon been
so well known and interest in the
state so generally aroused. All that
Is needed to get the best results is
for the commercial bodies to take ad
vantage of the opportunity and make
these home-seekers familiar with their
sections by sending them literature
and answering Inquiries.
That Oregon has Immense trade
possibilities with China, which offers
a great market place for the manu
factures as well as the raw products
of this country, is the opinion of Quan
Kai, a wealthy Chinese mercnant oi
Hong Kong, who has been a Portland
visitor for the past few days. He
believes an era of closer commercial
relations with the United States la
about to be drawn for his country
and he welcomes a larger commerce
with the Pacific Coast. Quan Kal
says his country is entering upon a
period of expansion and must have
railway materials, "machinery of all
kinds and manufactured products in
addition to the lumber, wheat and
flour, the chief commodities secured
from this coast, saying that his people
prefer tq trade with this country in
preference to the English and German
exporters who have the bulk of this
trade at present.
Salem is making preparations for
the fourth annual cherry fair to be

The people of Salem make a big event
every year of the cherry show and
the fete this season will eclipse any
thing of the kind ever held there, ac
cording to those in charg of the pro
grammed The fair will be held at the
time of the M idsummer meeting of the
State Horticulture Society at Salem.
There will be addresses by prominent
orchardists and specialists and a trip
through the orchards about Salem on
Friday, July 9. will be a feature of
the gathering. Fruit growers of the
state are making plans to attend.

One of the most remarkable freaks
of wind and erosion known In the
west is to be found in one of the small
er side canyons of the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado river In Arizona.
In a narrow gorge, carved through
centuries of flow of water and wind
driven sand down the little vulley.
there lies a huge bowlder us big as the
average house moving van seen on a
city-street. It Is held up solely by
friction on the sides of the gorge and
Is entirely free from any solid connec
tlon with the sides of the sandstone
walls.
From the sandy bed of the little
gorge to the rock Is fully seventy five
feet The Indians who once roomed
over the Grand canyon country have,
of course, legends to account for the
location of the big round rock, but as
a matter of fact it Is believed to have
rolled off the slope of u rocky and pre
cipitous mountain about five miles
distant from the canyon and to huve
been picked up In the path of some
cloudburst years ago and rolled to its
present resting place.
The stoue hangs only by a small
projection ou each side, but It Is so
solid that It forms a convenient foot
bridge across the gorge over which the
pedestrian may take his way. Kansas

Chinese Methods.
To transfer a man Into n beast would

particles from the entire surface of the
body, and to the bleeding parts bits of

feet are so mutilated that the beast is
forced to walk on all fours), could not
utter articulate sounds, rise aud sit

of this monstrosity bad him brought to
his palace, where bis hairy skin and
bestial appearance caused quite as
much terror as surprise. Upon being
asked if he was a man the creature
replied with an affirmative nod. He

In eight Industrial towns, where the
proportion of married women of child

different type, where the proportion oi
married women at work was only 8
per cent, the Infant mortality was only
150 per 1,000. The excessive rate In
