CHINA IH FEAR OF THE POWERS
OthervriBc It Would Have Had a. Rep
renenlatlve at the Russian Con
ference to Consider Plans Xor
Upholding Czar's Policy.
PEKIN. July 10. Advices from NIu
Chwang regarding the recent cleavage in
the relations between Russia and Japan
have caused a revival of war talk, greater
than at any time for three years. The
recent sale of the British Company to
Russia has been taken to indicate a loss
of confidence by the foreign residents in
the ability of the powers to resist Rus
sia's absorption of the port Industries.
Since the departure of the Russian Min
ister, M. Lessar, for the Port Arthur con
ference, It has been learned that the Chi
nese Foreign Office intended to have a
representative at that meeting, and was
deterred from accepting the imitation
only by the fear of alarming the other
powers. Japan's demand regarding the
"'deficiency in the indemnity payment Is
taken as an indication that she Is adopt
ing a policy Independent of her British
alliance.
The Chinese Foreign Office is exerting
Its utmost to exterminate the anti-dynastic
societies In the Yangtse Province.

TItah City for $300 is denied by President
YES, "WHAT A MEASLY SHAME"
The words of the song came back to us yesterday as we overheard the remark of a lady at one of
our counters. She had evidently been "shopping 'round," for when she received back her change
on a purchase she had made, she remarked to the saleslady who waited upon her, "what a pity it
is this store could not fasten a sample of their goods to their 'ads.' Other stores copy, you so
much and trail along in your footsteps so constantly, if you could but show the goods and bargains
with every announcement, their superiority over other stores would be very manifest." Yes, but
every shopper finds out they read the ads no doubt about that, then shop around and end up by
buying here. Our results have been wondrously satisfactory this season. If every HEADER was
a SHOPPER they would discover very quickly, as the shoppers have already, that our cheap imi
tators' merchandise is as inferior to ours as is their advertising. RESULTS SHOW. We can af
ford to feel satisfied with ten hours a day business and CLOSE AT 6 O'CLOCK SATURDAY
IflGHTS but it's busy business. How about the others or are they obliged to hang around un
til after dark to copy our ads? SHOP AT THE DAYLIGHT STORE BEFORE 6 TONIGHT.

Trro Old Friends Meet.
A reporter's life is much like that of a
gambler, In that he never knows what
fate has in store for him, as news items
bob up in the most unexpected places. An
Oregonlan reporter chanced to drop In be
hind the counter of the business office of
the paper yesterday forenoon while two
men whose appearance Indicated that they
had arrived at years of discretion were
standing at the window where subscrip
tions are taken. In passing he spoke to
one of them whom he knew and Inci
dentally mentioned his name, P. W. Gil
lette. The other man looked around
quickly, and asked, Where Is he?"
"Standing beside you," was the reply. He
and Gillette looked earnestly at each other
and the stranger said to Gillette: "Don't
you know me?" "Why of course," replied
Gillette, "it is Hanna." He then Intro
duced the reporter to Rev. J. A. Hanna,
with whom he had come across the plains
to Oregon In 1552, and whom he had not
6een In 15 years. Mr. Hanna was pastor of
a Presbyterian church In Corvallls which
he organized there 50 years ago, but of
late years he has been living and preach
ing In Los Angeles. Of course, the two
old pioneers had many things to talk
about, many mutual friends to Inquire
after, and many notes to compare. Mr.
Hanna said he not long since met three
old college chums in Los Angeles whom
he had not seen before in 54 years. Gil
lette complimented him on his youthful
and vigorous appearance, and Mr. Hanna
said he was SO years and 5 months old,
and considered himself the youngest old
man who could be scared up on this
Coast. Mr. Gillette Is some three years
younger, and, despite a recent rather se
vere illness, is still a rather young "old
man," but not so boyish as Mr. Hanna.
They both came from Northern Ohio. Mr.
Gillette said he had gone down to Burling
ton to study law and had been there long
enough to "eat up his horse," when he
learned that Mr. Hanna was getting up
a train to go to Oregon. He had long
wanted to come out here, so he wrote to
Mr. Hanna and arranged to come with
him. He then wrote to his father that
he was going and that there would be
'no use In trying to stop him. He met the
train in Cincinnati, and as he had just
had the smallpox, badly scared the whole

outfit, but he stuck to them and got here
in safety. Mr. Hanna said he was booked
to t?pend the month of September in Ore
gon. The Presbyterian Church whih he
organized In Corvallls was to celebrate the
anniversary of the event by a jubilee
and the whole synod of this region would
take part in the affair. .
RACE WAR ON DESERT.
Mexicans and Japanese Are Dealing
Death to Each Other.
NEW YORK. July 11. A bloody battle
between 150 Japanese and the same num
ber of Mexicans ha3 been raging five days
on tho desert between Barstow and VIc
torville, according to a Tribune dispatch
from Los Angeles. Four are reported dead
and about 50 wounded, and the end of the
struggle Is not In sight. The combatants
are all employed by the Santa Fe Rail
road laying new rails, and the company
has been forced to suspend operations In
that section.
The Japanese and the Mexicans "had been
working peaceably side by side for some
time, but on Monday a Japanese made an
Insulting remark about a Mexican, and the
fight began. When the two workmen came
to blows sides were quickly formed and
lines drawn. Tools used in roadbuildlng
and boulders from the bottoms of the Mo
javo River were the weapons, and In a few
minutes many heads were cracked. The
Japanese were finally driven across the
river amid showers of stones almost as
effective as bullets, their leader remaining
in the front to the last Both sides In
trenched behind plies of sand, and many
sallies have been made since. The attack
ing force has invariably been repulsed.
Two men were killed Friday when the Jap
anese earthworks were stormed by the
Mexicans. The foreman Is making every
effort to patch up a truce, but the men
eeera determined to fight while any are
left, and It may be necessary to call out
the state troops to quell the fighters.
Mexicans all over the section are devel
oping a fierce hatred of the Japanese, be
cause the latter are supplanting the Mex
icans In many kinds of work, demanding
less wages, as usual, but giving better sat
isfaction. Hood River May Have a Rival.
There are prosjgects of Hood River Val
ley having a rival as a strawberry-pro-ducjng
section. Eagle Cliff, In Wahkia
kum County, Washington, on the Colum
bia some 65 miles below the mouth of the
Willamette, is the section named for this
honor. The land Is Bome S00 feet above
sea level, and appears to be peculiarly
adapted to producing late strawberries. L.
S. Davidson, of Eagle Cliff, was in the
city yesterday, and brought along for ex
hibit some very fine specimens of the
Wilson strawberry and Trlomphe du
Gard, which In size, flavoring, coloring and
plump form condition proved a striking
contrast to the few berries noy being
brought into market and the tall end of
crops of various berry gardens in this
vicinity. Mr. Davidson says the berries
on his platfe are now Just coming Into
prime condition for marketing, and he Is
of opinion that if fields were planted on
Eagle Cliff the crop would bring a good
price as being later than all other straw
berries In this region. Early berries, ex
cept the very earliest, have to compete
with the crops of many sections. The
very earliest Oregon berries have to com
pete with the California berries, and only
have the advantage of excellence over
them. The late berries from Eagle Cliff
would be the only strawberries In the
market at this season, and It Is probable
that there would be a large demand -for
them at a good price.

BUILDS A BIG DREDGE
PORTLAND BOATBUIIiDER SHIPS
CRAFT TO IDAHO.
Was Ordered by Mlningr Company,
and Is Intended to Work
Bars in Snake Reiver.
Joseph Supple will ship four carloads of
the parts of a dredge today for Glenn's'
Ferry, on Snake River, Idaho, and will
follow this shipment up with men and ma
terial for setting up tho dredge at that'
place. This dredge Is for mining on the
sand bars in Snake River, and It will bo
the largest and most complete ever built
for the Snake River. It contains some ap
paratus for saving the fine gold In the
bars in the river.
The dredge is for N. L. Raber & Co.
It will be 100x40 feet in dimension, and
will be very strongly built.' Mr. Raber Is
now In Chicago ordering the machinery,
which alone will cost 550,000. Mr. Supple
said yesterday that the company which
Mr. Raber represents has ample means,
and so much confidence in Mr. Raber's
new methods In dredge construction that
It has furnished him with all the money .
required to build and equip the boat as a !
first-class gold-saver.
Mr. Raber says that the dredges on '
Snake River lose more gold than they
save, but he has developed some new Ideas ,
by which he Is confident that he will
change all this and save the fine gold In '
these river bars. In the single Item of
sifting and sluicing In the new dredge 3000
feet of burlap is used, while In the other :
dredges not more than 300 feet Is used. The i
parts of the boat have about all been made
here, and will be quickly put together at
Glenn's Ferry. With the Improvements
in the way of saving the fine gold abound
ing In the sandbars on Snake River there
will be a revolution in this kind of min
ing. A small launch and a barge will also be
built to go with the large boat. When
this dredge Is 'completed and in opera- j
tion, Mr. Raber will have several more
built on the same lines. They will prob
ably be built in Portland in parts knocked
down the same as tho first one.
SUBSTATIONS WORK WELL.
Bnt There Are Not Enonfih Carriers
to Make Prompt Deliveries.
The substations on the East Side, which
took the place of Station A, are giving
satisfaction to the public. J. W. Single
tary. who has tho station on Grand ave
nue, near East Morrison street, has been
kept busy since Station A was closed. It
happens that his place of business is very
central, and he catches the" main portion
of the postal business that went to Sta
tion A, on account of Its convenience.
Calls are made for stamps, money orders
and registered letters. Mr. Singletary
also says that more than 500 letters have
been left there for mailing. At the other
substations also much business is being
done.
However, owing to the accumulation of
mall papers and other mall at the post
office, and the taking In of so much more
territory. on the East Side than was cov
ered before the station was abolished, the
deliveries have been delayed. Only five
new carriers were given, where Postmas
ter Bancroft asked for 20. It will take
fully 10 or 15 more carriers to cover the
iarso territory on the East Side. Until
