Published at 245tf Stark Bt. Third Floor. TUB SOUTH AND TIIH COOLIE. The Mobile Register, in denouncing the ChlncHo exclusion net, sayB "tho South needs n million Chinese to wake tho Negro population Into activity," mid adds that "sho must have them." Tho Mobile Register Ib ono of thoso coppoihead nowspnpers whoso editors refuse to permit tho Negro population to ongngo In Industrial and commer cial activity as frco American cltlzons, Irrespective of color, nro pormltted to do In tho North and West, becauso their success and prominence In those lines of activity mean acquisition of Inlluenco and powor In political mat ters. Tho Negro, under tho consti tution, has tho right to voto, but In the South he Is seldom permitted to enjoy It without risking his Ilfo for tho prlvllogo. It Ib not becauso tho Keglster and Its Ilk love tho Chinese more, hut, on tho contrary, becauso they lovo tho Negro less. Tho China man cannot voto, no matter how much promlncnco ho may achieve In com merce. Thoro tho secret Is. Nb matter what tho South may de sire, the nation wants no more Chi nese Given a man's wages and wo havo tho measure of tho comforts of civilization with which ho mny sur round himself. With tho American of any color his wngo means n conifortnblo homo, with tho iloor carpeted, a pow In tho church, a sent in tho theater, children decently clad In tho schools, tho news paper, nomo bits of art on tho wall, some good books on tho sholf, some lawn In front of tho cottngo, bravo, intelligent progeny growing up to hon or nnd.dofcnd tho stnto, and so on.

Even If tho South can afford to Chi nalzo her states, tho nation cannot af ford to permit hor to do It. Cutting Bjatetu Now In Vme Is More Klabornte than Ulil Method. In these modem dnys tho cutting of ice is a much more elaborate process conclusions as to tho best means of than It was fifteen or twenty years ago, protecting society from tho violence of )vhcn workmen simply went out on the .. , frozen surfaces of lakes and rivers with outlaws. ft ono.i,aIujict crosscut saw nnd cut out The state exccutlvo who exercises the cakes, which were drawn up an in his power to overthrow tho good work . ellno into the Icehouses by means of of tho courts assumes a mighty respon sibility.

Tho Now Year's edition of the Ore gonlnn is n magnificent pro duction In tho way of com prehensive data of practical vnluo to Oregon particularly and to tho en tire Northwest generally. It Is pre sented In the usual nowspnper form. Statistics aro given in an nttractlvo and succinct way concerning tho re markable development of tho vast ter ritory considered. Tho grent array of. details thus carefully compiled, with out unnecessary bluster or attempt at sensational headlines, present a vol umo of evidence of tho material growth, In Industrial nnd commercial Interests, of which Oregon especially should be Infinitely proud. This great number of tho Oregonlnn should bo liberally distributed throughout tho ovorburdonod communities of tho Bast for tho Immonsurablo good It will do In tho way of disseminating reliable and much desired Information concern ing our boundless resources nnd the onso with which they may bo profit ably developed.

Nowadays encn cake is Handled more or less by about n dozen men be fore It reaches Its plnce In the Icehouse. In the first place, If the surface of tho ice Is not perfectly elenr It Is swept or scraped free of all snow or nuythlug else that may be lying upon It. Then the marker, the man who Is to scratch the Hues along which the Ice cukes are to bo cut, begins operations. In n frame, to which bnndles similar to thoso of n plow are attached for guid ing purposes, nrc two teeth, one In the rear of the other. A horse attached to this frame drugs It over the Ice while it Is directed by tho driver who holds the hnndles. The teeth cut Into the Ice deep enough to leave a fissure that can enslly be traced. After cutting lines, nil running In the sniue direction, the marker cross-cuts these with lines run ning nt right angles, thus marking out the exact size of the cakes to be cut. After tho innrklng off Is completed, or sometimes before It Is finished, the cut ting machine Is brought out on tho tec. This machine Is somewhat similar in design to the marker, but It is of heav ier construction, stronger, and has teeth about ten Inches In length. Often both tills machine nnd the marker havo an extension arm fitted with teeth, the stretch of tho arm being tho exact width of n enke of Ice. Tho cutting ma chine Is driven up nnd down the ico until the knives or teeth have cut into it their full length. If the Ice Is over ten Inches in thickness the cutting Is, of course, not yet completed nnd tho old hand-saws aro brought Into piny to fin- ...THE NEW MARKET... C. KETCHUM &. CO.

But It 13 not lnck of good advertising that keeps America us out of the navy. Ap parently It has never occurred to tho olllcers who deviled the poster that tho fact that a young men cannot rise from the ranks to n commission Is the bar that keeps ambitious young men from entering tho service. They can never rise above the rank of a non-conunlssloncd officer.

In addition to that, tin aspirant should buoy his hopo for a nomination with a presentation to tho people ut largo of his (nullifica tion to perform tho service ho seeks. The people who pnitlclpato in tho pri maries should know him. These sonic what unusual conditions may account, In a measure, for tho ottmonlliinry ac tivity In local political circles at this time. Whllo It Is observed thnt tho number of cnseB of drunkonnoss trontod by tho municipal court has consldornbly In creased of late, It should bo noted also that tho population of Portland has been wonderfully nugmontod during tho pnst six months. Tho proportion of tho hobo olomont has boon main tained in this extraordinary Incrcnso nnd then n city election is soon lo bo hold. National financiers and acuto obser vers of conditions have begun to urgo congress to chock tho inflow of monoy to tho nntlonal treasury by suggesting tho repeal of tho war tax.

Tho question of pardons for convict ed criminals has again begun to elicit attention from tho state press. Tho pardon by Governor Oeer of I.uhrmnn, convicted of killing his paitner, mid of a fako French count named Uigny, convicted of promoting a new system of robbery by an extraordinary con fidence game piomulgated In solar walk boclety, scorns to havo provoked u general attack on tho advisability of turning criminals loose after they havo been caught, tried and convicted in courts of Justice. It must bo admitted that the general Milk Vermis Wwter. Thnt milk Is uot equal to wntcr ns a Htcuui-produclug agent was demon strated ono morning recently on the Erie & Central Now York Itullroad by passenger train No, I!. A Syracuse nowspnper tells tho story, The train left Clucluuntus nt half past seven o'clock, and was duo In Sy racuse uu hour and a half later. It stopped at the water-pump In Clucln iiatiis for a supply of water. Tho water Is pumped from n creek through it milk depot by the samo pump, It seems, that Is used to force milk Into the large vats. The fireman, a new employee, set tho pump going, nnd after taking aboard what he deemed a sutllclent quantity of water, stopped the pump and tho train started. The steam dropped rapidly, and such a sputtering began about the gage that tho engineer became alarmed, and at Freetown telegraphed to tho train do sputeher at Syracuse that his engine had gone wrong, anil requested that an extra be sent to haul his train to the end of the tun. This was done, and the rejected en gine was sent to the yards for Inspec tion. There It was dUenvereri that tho boiler was filled with milk Instead of water. Tho fireman supposes that ho must have "connected up wrong" some how, nud pumped milk Instead of water Into the boiler. ItCNiiltH of Irrigation.

Tho cakes of lco aro then ready for tho ninn with tho crowbnr, who prle them npart and sends them fioatlng down toward the point where they leavo tho wnter 011 the way to tho Interior of the Icehouses. Tho cakes aro generally cut alioiit twenty or twenty two Inches square, as tho most con venient size for handling and transpor tation. Tho houses for storing tho Ico are, of course, built so close to tho water that tho elevator for hauling up tho Ice can reach from tho top of the building down to tho water's edge. The build ings are, as n rule, about the height of a three or four story structure, and are from 100 to lf0 feet In width by more than that In length. Tho walls nro usually double, with an nlr eljamber of about 11 foot between tho two walls. Sometimes tho walls aro treble, with two air chambers for the protection of tho Ice. Tho Interior Is divided Into several great compartments, which nro as separate ns If they were In different buildings. This nrrnugenient is inniio so that It will not be necessary to exposo tho whole of tho Interior to the outer ar when taking out a load of lco for market. An endless ehnln system, more or less llko tho straw elevator of n thrashing machine, Is used for carrying tho lco from tho water to the building. This chain Is operated by a steam en gine placed just underneath It nnd Just outside of tho Icehouse. Tho chain Is a wide, fiat surface, wide enough to ens- Uy accommodate n cake of Ice, or even more. The chain dips down Into the wnter, and while It Is moving workmen push tho cakes of lco upon It and they aro carried upward and Into tho Ice house, where they nro packed evenly togother by Ico shovers. Nothing what ever Is placed about tho Ice, tho old sawdust packing system being quite rmss.0. When tho house Is filled hoy or btraw Is placed upon the top layer of cakes and tho pncklng Is then complete. Twenty or thirty thousand tons aro often packed away In one house. James McUuck, 11 Mnuayuuk spinner, hn& nn nnnchhlr covered with a soft and silky fabric of Titian red, which ho wove toilsomely out of rock, out of "red shell," tho crumbling stone of which Mnnnyunk masons build cheap houses. McGuck thus describes tho weaving: "I throw about a ton of tho rock, In lumps ns big as your head, Into tho picker. Tho picker blades were dulled, but tho rock was erushert. and canio out good stock, with n staple uu Inch long like nsbestos. , "This fluffy stuff I throw Into my cardlug-iuachlne, and first It becamo a soft, Inch-thick rope, then a hnrder, quarter-Inch twine, nnd nt this point my undo took It nnd twisted It till IC was nn ordinary thread, llko that you seo on a spool of cotton. I wove It on a bond-loom then. "This llttlo piece of cloth-It's eigh teen Inches square Is till I got. It took a ton of rock to make It. I clnlm It Is tho first cloth ever woven out of real rock lu tho history of tho world." WHY THE NAVY LACKS MEN. No Chance for a Bailor to Iteacli an 0 nicer' llcrtli. Tho Navy Department Is having an exceedingly bant time in keeplug tho enlisted forco up to within several thousand of tho maximum allowed by law, says a Washington special to the Pittsburg Dispatch. Many olllcers aie wonderlug why this Is so. Tho bright geniuses of tho bureau of navigation, f of which Admiral Crownlushleld Is the head, appear to have como to the con clusion that tho "paper" of the depart ment soliciting recruits Is not alluring enough. So they havo devised u new pattern of a poster Intended to wean PropiiciUhig- tho Mistletoe Tho story of how tho mistletoe gets on tho trees Is 11 most interesting one. Cov ering tho nilstletoo twigs aro pearly whlto berries. Thoso come In tho win ter season, when food Is comparatively scarce, nnd hence some of our birds eat them freely. Now when a robin eats a cherry ho swallows simply tho meat and Hips tho stono nwny. Tho seed of the mistletoe tho bird cannot HI p. It Is sticky and holds to his bill. Ills only rcsourco Is to wipe It off, nnd he does so, leaving it sticking to the branches of tho tree on which ho Is sitting nt tho time. This seed sprouts after a time, nud uot finding earth which Indeed Its ancestral habit has made it cease want ing It sinks Its roots Into the bark of tho treo and bunts thero for the pipes that carry tho sop. Now tho sap lu the bark Is tho very richest In tho tree, far richer than thnt lu tho wood, and tho mistletoe gets from Its host tho choicest of food. With a strange foresight It docs not throw Its leaves nwny, as do most parasites, but keeps them to uso In wlutor, when the treo Is leafless. La dles' Homo Journal. Klubby' Ketort.
