Xiate Strawberries. A number of
strawberry plants well laden with ripe
and half-matured fruit were left at The
Oregonlan office yesterday by X. Shey
docker. a gardener on the Macadam road.
The variety is a new one to these parts,
the seed being secured in France a little
over two years ago. The donor gives
the name of "Sheydecker's Everbearing"
to the specimen. Ripe fruit was taken
from the plants as early as May, and Mr.
Shevdecker is confident that a prolific
vleld will continue until the first frost.
Tho most peculiar feature about tho
berry, however, is that the "runners"
bear verv nearly as heavily as the parent
vine the same season of their appearance.

Rough Mountain Fun. A jolly party,
consisting of Matf Keith, O. Strelblg,
J. Malley, George A. Beavis and Jack
Schmecr, are rusticating at St. Martin's
Hot Springs on "Wind River, and are hav
ing lots of fun. They went up to Pan
ther Creek fishing a few days ago and
Malley got tired of fishing and went to
sleep on a log and rolled off Into the
creek. O. Strelblg plunged In to the res
cue, and was badly exhausted when he
brought Malley ashore. Then Beavis ap
peared on the scene with a bottle of
tonic and saved them both. Keith went
to sleep at the camp and when he woke
up found a cat, not a catfish, attached to
his hook and running away with all the
line. There are about 200 campers and
boarders at the springs, and Sehmeer is
the life of the camp, and drinks more
hot water than any of them.
Xot Boting IaAnd Xow. There seems
to be a temporary lull in timber land
deals for the past few days, but those
interested look for increased activity m
a short time. A drought in the grain
growing districts of the East has put a
dampr on the demand for- lumber, and
the timber speculators of "Wisconsin,
Michigan and Minnesota are not so keen
to buy timber land as they were. One
man came out here from Duluth two
weeks ago to purchase 20,000 acres of
timber land in a body, but he received
a telegram ordering him back about the
time he had finished looking up the land.
The deal would have amounted to J250,
000, and a railroad into the belt would
have cost $50,000 more. The agent here,
however, has hope of consummating the
trade Irter on.
Railroad Magnates Coming. President

WILL DIE LIKE SHEEP.
Gloomy Picture ot the Outloolc This
"Winter at Jfome.
"Five or eIx thousand persons will die
at Xome this Winter unless something
is done to help them," said J. J. Whlt
aker, an experienced mining man, yes
terday. Mr. Whitaker spent about six
weeks in the "vicinity of Nome this sea
son, and does not pronounce it a fake,
but he says there are more people there
than can obtain employment, and as they
have no means, they cannot get away.
"When the first rains fall," he said,
"these people will die off like sheep,
of pneumonia, as they wil' be compelled
to sleep on the wet, soggy ground, and
fuel cannot be obtained to keep them
warm. When a man is broke, ho cannot
pay J75 a ton for coal, and there is no
wood available in that country."
He Faid many persons had applied to
the military authorities for free transpor
tation, but tho department up there could
do nothing for them. With the first rains
prospecting and mining will begin on
the creeks to the eastward, but people
without means cannot prospect, and the
few claims employing miners will be
overrun with applicants for work.
"In a few years Xome may be a bet
ter camp than it is now," he said, "as
some good placer diggings may be found
in the mountains. I think Anvil Creek,
Dexter Creek and Snow Creek are rich
in places, and after the question of title
has been settled, there may be some
permanent mines established. It would
not do. however, for moneyed men to in
vest there now, as there are a large
number of clalmowners waiting for 'suck
ers.' having located lands upon which no
sign of gold has been found. In other
places colors can be discerned In the pan,
but not In paying quantities. Xome Is
therefore a good place for both men of
means and poor men to keep away from
at present."
Tho country oast of the dividing range
has been prospected more or less within
the past two years, but not a trace of
goldhas been found, and the locality is
therefore decided to be worthless by men
who have traveled over it He thinks
that what gold may yet be found at
Xome will be along the beaches or on
the adjneont creeks.

H. B.' sillier, who has not yet reached
his station in China, writes to Food Com
missioner Bailey from Nagasaki, under
date of July 10, as follows:
"As I have just read Qf your election,
I will congratulate you. It will seem
strange to receive congratulations two
months after, but this Is the best that
I can do.
"I have received only one letter, and
not a single paper since leaving home.
Sailed from San Francisco May 16, spent
four days at Honolulu, and reached Ma
nila June 13, and epent two weeks there.
Arrived here on the 2d, and will be, here
until the loth, when I sail for Shanghai.
"Have arranged to leave my daughter
here until the war Is over in China, I
am not much inclined to go Into the
interior of China, but if the Government
insists upon it, I suppose that I shall
have to go and have my head cut off in
good Cnlnese fashion. We all here be
lieve that the Ministers and all foreign
ers in Pekln aie killed by this time,
"I would like to have you write me
at Shangnai, care of United States Con-sul-General.
'Any old thng will be news
to me, and, coming from you, will be In
teresting. You have no idea how strange
it is to drop completely out of Oregon
all at once, and get Into the odd and
Lental country. Japan is nice and in
teresting, but the Philippines are not
fit for a white man to live In, although
they are rich in many ways. The cli
mate takes the starch out of a man In
short order, and does put anything in its
place that any one wants. Don't ever
get the Manila fever. The most disagree
able feature of this country Is absence,
of news, especially in times like this.
"What do I think of the country?
Japan is an interesting and progressive
country, with more people than they
need. Hills as steep as those going to
Portland Heights are cultivated. Thest,
little fellows are active and industrious;
they do not eat much and wear less, and
live better than any people in the world
on tha same amount of wealth and pro
duction. They are the cleanest people
that I ever saw, all classes and con
ditions being very neat and ever at
work scrubbing.
"This is the rainy season here, and
it has been raining most of the time
since my arrival, and it beats Oregon
all to pieces on rain. At Manila I took
the train and went to Dagupan, seeing
much of the agricultural section. I am
going into the country here as soon as
it ceases to rain.
"The degradation of women is the most
distressing thing to me In all of these
Oriental countries. Here women and
children work along with the men coal
ing ships and any kind of work. The
greatest work of civilization needed here
is the respect for and elevation of
woman. This is beyond question the most
licentious place I ever saw. It is not only
common, but seems to be eminently re
spectable. Everybody that wants one
can have a Japanese woman."
THE CRIMPS OF OUR PORT.
They Make an Added Charge Upon
Every Ton of Wlieat.
PORTLAND, Aug. 6. (To the Edltor.)
It was with some surprise that I read the
remarks under the caption of "Scarcity of
Sailors," in the shipping columns of, TJie
Sunday Oregonlan.
I believe that there is a desire on the
part of most law-abiding citizens of this
state to purge its ports of the reputation
they have unhappily acquired for the
most impudent extortion on the part of
the "crimps" of any in the world, and
this cannot be done by . crying peace
when there is no peace, or by suppressing
facts. It would be vastly better for the
reputation of the ports that there should
be some delay than that the laws
should be openly derided by a set of
rogues. Whether there is any use for
the crimp is questionable, but I deny
that the arrangements of last year were
the most satisfactory ever had for the
supply of sailors or that the crimps of
Portland and Astoria merit any more con
sideration for their contemptible business
than is given them elsewhere. In the
year 18S9, when the provisions of law
respecting crimps now on the statute
books of the state were enacted and
rigidly enforced, for some time after
the result was that plenty of
men were to be had who made their own
arrangements with shipmasters and no
"blood money" was paid. The rascally
business of crimping was then at a low
ebb, and could have been kept so by
the samo means. If this business is a
necessary evil, which is extremely doubt
ful, it can better be kept within bounds
by the competition of several sets of
rogues than through the dictation of a
syndicate of law-breakers. I am ready to
admit that there are masters who will
take what your reporter calls a "rake off"
wherever they can get it, but I am not
prepared to believe that such was tho
reason for the coalition between the
rivals in this thieving business, which
is now costing the people of Oregon 2s
Cd per ton on every ton of wheat shipped,
nor that many masters can be found
who -will not secure their crews on the
cheapest possible terms in their owners'
interest. Neither do I believe that many
of them would consent to be partakers
in the iniquity of the whole business, and
I should require better proof than the
statements of any crimp to this effect.
Whether freights are high or low, own
ers naturally object to extortion, and
would prefer to pay higher wages to the
seamen than to submit to a new form of
exaction under the pretext of shipping
men under wages by a payment to a
set of men who grow rich by inciting
sailors to break one contract so that they
can sell their services after they have
been robbed of everything they possess.
Why not give the owners, masters and
seamen a chance by protecting them
through a strict application of axistlng
laws? Employment agents, I believe,
get from $1 to $2 a man for procuring
employment for other laborers, and the
law allows tho munificent remuneration
of $10 per man for hunting up sailors,
which would satisfy any reasonably hon
est man. It is a dishonest business at
bestj and in no part of the world has a
crimp any standing amongst decent men,
but here I believe the service is paid
at the rate of ?S2 50 per man, and in
addition $30 per man is now insisted up
on for keeping down wages. I recently
read a letter from one ot the largest
shipowners in the United Kingdom, and
whose ships have taken no small part
in the commerce of this port, in which he
expresses his intention of fighting shy of
the port unless he could get a rate of
freight which would compensate him for
such enormous charges, and I believe his
sentlmants are reciprocated by most own
ers. The producers of Oregon must there
fore look to paying 2s Gd extra or more
for every ton of freight shipped unless
something is done to protect the ship
owner. Are the people of the state pre
pared to keep some seven or eight men
in comparative affluence at their expense
for doing a service which any lounger on
the street could do as well?
I naturally favor the British system
of licensing seamen's boarding-houses
under heavy penalties and stringent rules
for the conduct of the business, as it
has worked so well. Under this system
the crimping business has been practi
cally killed there, and with a strict en
forcement of laws the same can be done
here. There Is said to have been a
time, years ago, when some London
crimps had fine places in the country
and drove into the city in their own
carriages to attend to their Iniquitous
business. Legislation, properly enforced,
stopped all this. I nave to apologize for
the length of this communication, but
the subject is one which, more deeply
than most people are aware of, concerns
not only the shipping trade of my own
country, which I am nere to protect, and
also that of every maritime country, but
even more deeply every citizen of this
city and state. Yours respectfully,
JAMES LAIDLAW,
H. B. M. Consul,

Information.
Relieve your eyes in every pos
sible way. Use glasses as soon as
any benefit may be derived from
them. The most valuable ideas in
the construction of spectacles are
but a few years old. The most val
uable methods and instruments of
the present day ior the examina
tion and correct diagnosis of vis
ual imperfections have been given
to us within a short period. I have
made myself familiar with these
methods, and have the best instru
ments in my possession. Accuracy
In, fitting the face with the proper
frame is as important as the fit
ting of the lenses. It requires skill
and experience. I HAVE BOTH.
Safe, honest advice is yours in
every case. See me about it.
