there Is rejoicing in Portland's China
town.
At 4 o'clock this morning Gum Jl's ma
terial body was destroyed, and his astral
eelf floated back to the regions of dark
ness, a crushed, bleeding, beaten thing.
JJo more will the evil spirit harass the
oeace and contentment of Chinatown
until next year.
Thousands of people visited the Chinese
quarter yesterday afternoon and last
night, remaining until after the fires were
lighted and the death of Gum Ji had been
accomplished. All afternoon and even
ing the Josshouses were filled with large
crowds of curiosity-seekers. And above
the hum of hundreds of inquiring voices,
above the smoke and flame from 10,000
tiny candles, from burning punk and
Eandal wood, could bo heard the queer,
weird chant of the Chinese priests,
Yesterday afternoon the wood for the
fires was distributed along Second street
from Oak to Pine. Promptly on the
stroke of 12 last night the first lire was
lighted. In a stand erected at the corner
of Second . and Pine streets, beneath
canopy, sat the priests as the menials be
low made the gigantic preparations. In a
smaller stand under a canopy on the
corner of Oak street, a block away sat
Gum Ji, his lips curled with scorn at the
least on the face of the earth.
All the fires were lighted by 1 o'clock.
Hundreds of sticks of punk and thousands
of tiny candles were burning In the center
of the street. Messages of good cheer to
the gods in the shape of small pieces of
paper, were thrown over the fires, to be
driven upward by the heat and to flock
the air as so many white-winged birds.
At 2 o'clock the priests descended from
their dais, passed through the the two
rows of fires and came to a stop before
the dais of Gum JI. beseechins: and temot-
ing him to come to the earth and partake
of the feast that was ready. Gum JI
curled his Hps in scorn and scoffed at
his tempters. The feast was not to his
liking.
The priests returned to their dais. Tho
Chinese band began to play. Foodstuffs
such as is never seen outside Chinatown
were devoured with a relish. Plate after
plate of chicken, rice and sugar-bars, cup
after cup of tea and gin, were disposed of
in a spirit of jollity. Alone In his dais
Gum Jl felt a sudden longing the long'
Ing for companionship. The feast en
tlced him. The viands were good to see
and the burning fires seemed to promise a
season of pleasure. Gum Jl hesitated
and was lost. He left his throne and
rushed Into the, center of the merrymak
ers, who crowded about him as though he
were a curiosity. His sinister presence
for a moment appalled and frightened
them. Then they thought of the wrongs,
tho woe and the suffering, the sorrow
and discord that Gum Jl had caused in
the past, and to a man they fell upon him
and bore him away. Torture after tor
ture was Inflicted upon him. From fire to
fire they took him, dipping him In thi3
one and that one, that he might feel the
pain of the flames. San DI Law and San
DI Gin suggested new torturer and they
were accomplished. Priests chanted while
Gum Ji writhed with pain and suffering.
Greater and greater grew the wrath of
the Celestials, and then
At A o'clock the fires which promised
pleasure to Gum Jl became his funeral
pyre.
After which San DI Law- and San DI
Gin. the two spirits of good, mounted the
paper steed wch awaited them and van
lshed into the land of the unknown and
unseen.
COST OF FEEDING THE ARMY
Commissary-General Reports the Ex-
penses Reduced to a Minimum.
WASHINGTON. Oct 15. The annual
report of Brigadier-General J. F. Wes
ton. Commissary-General of the Army,
says the total cost of feeding the Army
during tbe past fiscal year was $S,S2L
750. During the year the losses were
5418,650 In tho Philippines; 57467 "on the
transports and fl29,S53 in the United
States, Alaska, Porto Klco and else
where.
General Weston says It Is difficult and
often Impossible to prevent losses of
perishable stores. General Weston urg'
ently recommends the passage of a bill
by Congress to give authority to all offl
cers entrusted with the disbursement of
subsistence funds to hold restricted
amounts of such funds In their personal
possession. He says the exigencies of
tho public service require an open dis
regard of the restriction of the existing
lav. In cities where the treasurer or-an
assistant treasurer is located. He urges
legislation authorizing the sale at public
auction of accumulated subsistence stores
in good condition.
General Weston says the problem of
feeding the Army in the Philippines was
a difficult one, but It has been success
fully solved, and subsistence affairs In
the archipelago are now run with sys
tem and economy.
The subsistence department. It Is stat
ed, was able to make a contract for
sfresh beef for the fiscal year, 1905, by
which an annual saving of. over JIW.OW
was effected. The running expenses
gradually have been reduced to a mini
mum, the report says, and a saving of
more than $40,000 made in wages of ci
vilian employes alone.
STRIKES AT MONEY-LENDERS.
MacArthur Issues Order Preventing
Transfer of Soldiers' Deposit Books.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12. General
MacArthur .today Issued an order aimed
at aispouraging tne numerous usurers
who, for a long time, have been fatten
ing their purses at the expense of sol
diers of the regular Army. The order
forbids the transfer, pledge or sale of
deposit books issued to enlisted men
who have deposited their savings with
the Paymaster.
It has been a common practice for men.
especially when out on pass, to fall Into
the hands of sharpers who advance them
cash on their deposit books at extortion

not long ago where a soldier had to pay
one of the money sharks 52S0 for a loan

LONDON, Oct. 12. A letter from Ben

and telegraphed from there to the Dally
Telegraph, gives an even column descrip
tion of the battle of Liao Yang, which
he describes as by no . means a Pyrrhic

Russian works were stronger than those

BOOSEVELT'S ATTITUDE.
How He Regarded the Grafters of
Postal Department.
William Allen White In McClure's.
Tha President's attitude was from the
first one of angry abhorrence for the al
leged thieves. Ho went at tho investiga
tion as a terrier goes after a rat. wnen
tho Washington Times was printing Its
exposures. Beavers was brought to the
Times ofilce and agreed to ell all he
knew under promise that "that damned
wolf. Bristow. be kept off him. For,"
said Beavers, as his fat cheeks, shook with
fear and horror, "that damned wolf would
never rest until he saw me in stripes and
behind the bars and stood there grinning
at me."
The President knew how the Postofflce
officials hated Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter-Gneral Bristow. His work In Cuba
had nr0Vea his mettle. And it was Bris-
tow whom the President set upon the
thieves. Before he bad been at worka
month Beavers left his desk and fled.
and Machen, the cooler scoundrel of the
two, set to work with all hia power of
Congressmen and editors (and he had
them on hU staff by tho hundreds) to dis
suade the President from probing the
scandal. Party papers all over the land.
to which Machen had been furnishing lists
of farmers on free-delivery routes, began
to discredit the investigation. They at-
tacked Bristow and said he was inspires
in his search for Kachen's misdeeds by
Jealousy for Machen. Congressmen and
Senators whom Machen had favored came
storming to the White House and said
the exposure would ruin the partyand
would defeat the President for re-election.
Men high in the party councils and close
to Machen were first persuasive and then
wrathful in their insistence that tho in
vestigation be dropped. But it went on.
When It touched the President's friend
and political sponsor. State Senator Green,
of Blnghamton, N. X., and when he was.
about to be Indicted for crookedness, the
two Senators from New STork and every
prominent Republican in the state begged
for mercy, and then threatened President
Roosevelt for allowing Bristow to Indict
Green. Bristow furnished the President
with the evidence against Green. It waa
shown that he was at the head of a pow
erful secret society which would be hu
miliated at Green's downfall and that the
members of tho society enough to carry
New York against the President this year
would vote against him and lose him the
Presidency if Green were indicted. But
Roosevelt looked, at the evidence and
Bristow went on with his work; the in
dictment was issued.
An Amateur Entertainment.
Atchison Globe.
Tho amateur entertainment given at
Mclnteer Hall last night was, with one
or two exceptions, the rottenest thing
of the kind ever seen In Atchison. The
singing of Miss FJldae Farllnson waa
something awful, sounding most of the
time like a pig squealing for something
to eat. Miss Farllnson Is a victim of
politeness. Her friends pretended to en-
Joy her singing in private, whereas they
were bored, iney spurred ner on to mane
herself extremely ridiculous last night.
and did her great harm by not giving
her a hint of the truth. The Lenderson
sisters played a duet on the piano for
fifteen minutes oy the watch, it was
simply awful, but the audience thought
It would not be polite not to appiaua, ana
brought on a second attack, which lasted
ten minutes. The sisters were prooaoiy
ruined for good housekeepers by this
misapplied kindness of the audience. Fal
son Interson, a youth who should be put
to work, sang one of those maudlin popu
lar songs about Sadie going away from
home because her father would not keep
her supplied with street-car tickets. Fal
son loafs around with tho girls too much,
and he will never amount to anything.
The vialln solo by Miss Ancherly was too
bad for description, and the accompani
ment was no better. The recitations by
Annie Chanter and Alice Polnten were
the same old thing, on the same old sub
jects. Yet both were applauded, and
their minds turned from the right channel
of housework and dishwashing. It .was
an unfortunate and painful affair
throughout, and no good can come of it.
Man's Way.
Atchison Globe.
A deep melancholy has settled upon an
Atchison young man because the girl he is
fond of doesn t care for him. She can
cook, she can't sew, she Is not a kind
daughter, and his friends feel that he
should really get from under the cloud
of melancholy and call for a clear floor
and a ragtime tune. He doesn't know
what he has escaped; he will never know.
Years from now, when he marries some
quiet, worthy woman, he will torture her
by talking sentimentally of the girl he
loved years ago.

with determined resistance by pickets aid
ed by sympathetic teamsters. As soon
as the wagons got a few blocks away.
the drivers were stoned and attempts
made to cut the horses' traces.
At Van Buren and State streets, a non-
union driver of the company was at
tacked by the driver of an Ice wagon and
threatened with an ax. While this was
going on several men, supposed to be
tickets, cut the harness. The baggage
wagon driver ran for ms uie, leaving, nis,
wagon In an alley. Four arrests were
made. One prisoner was J. W. Young,
business agent for tho Van and Baggage
Teamsters' Union.
Trouble was also experienced about the
Auditorium Hotel where the baggage han
dlers had gone on .strike. Several ex
press wagons loaded with trunks and
valises from the depots drove to the
hotel and unloaded with' difficulty under
police guard.
A crowd of 20 men attacked one of the
Scott wagons at the Polk-street depot.
while the driver "was attempting to deliver
baggage from one of the hotels. Knives
were drawn and only the arrival of the
police prevented the traces being cut.
One of the company s drivers got a load
of trunks as far as Clinton and West
Madison streets when he was pursued by
a crowd of strike sympathizers gathered
by pickets. In trying to get away ho
turned a street corner so swiftly that he
fell off his seat, striking on his head. Tho
crowd then fled.

LONDON. Oct 13. The St James Ga

the British people to extend, oospiiauiy
to their American cousins aboard the
cruiser Olympla and the accompanying
vessels of the American Navy, which
have been anchored in the Thames for
several weeks. It says:
"It has been left for the Pilgrims, a

Newell Finds Land Sharks Con

WORK IN IRRIGATION FIELDS
Chief of. the Service Says They Can
Have,No Idea, Where .the Gov
ernment Will Begin Their
.Operations..
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington,. Oct. 12. Ever since the inception
of the Government work looking toward
the Irrigation of arid lands, numerous
bands of swindlers have been engaged in
victimizing homeseekers Interested in the
various reclamation projects undertaken
by the Government. F. N. Newell, Chief
of the Reclamation Service, discussing the
matter today, said:
"The Teccnt activity of these 'locators'
in Oregon, and the fact that they are
meeting in a certain degree, with success
is most surprising. In view of the nu
merous warnings issued by Federal offi
cials. It should be clearly understood that
only a relatively small portion of the area
ultimately to be Irrigated under the Mal
heur project Is unpatented, and It is not
possible that any land under the project
can be. watered inside of two years, so
that any homesteader filing on the land
now will find it very difficult to comply
with the homestead laws. Any such
entry. In which the terms of the law are
not fully compiled with, will be almost
certain to bo successfully contested by
other settlers when the proper time ar
rives to take up the land.
'It has been called to the attention of
the department that for a consideration
of from $50 to $100 these locaters guaran
tee to place settlers upon the best Irri
gable lands under the irrigation .works.
while the fact is that the Government En
gineers themselves do not have the final
approval of the location of canal lines.
and stakes marking the lines run for esti
mates are no indication of the line upon
which the construction will finally occur.
"Settlers who make filings based on In
formation received from these swindlers
will not only lose the money paid out, but
are liable later to find the lands are not
Included In the Government's proposed
system. When the proper time come3 for
throwing open to entry lands under the
Malheur, or any other great Irrigation
project, the becretary of the Interior will
give due notice through the public press.
Until such announcement, it will not be
safe for settlers to locate upon these
lands."

ERAHKNESS AND SIMPLICITY.
Traits Conducive to tho Growth .of
Highest Manhood.
Orson Swett Marden in Success.
There is no more delightful trait in the
young or the old than absolute frank
ness and openness of nature, that trans
parency ot cnaracier wnicn xeis us see tne
best and the worst In them, their strong
and their weak points, without any effort
at concealment.
Everybody admires the openhearted, the
people who have nothing to conceal, and
who do not try to cover up their faults
and. weaknesses. They are, as a rule,
largehearted and magnanimous. They in
spire love and confidence, and, by their
very frankness and simplicity. Invite the
fame qualities in others.
Secretlvehess repels as much as frank
nesq attracts. There Is something about
ine very inclination to conceal or cover
up which arouses suspicion and distrust
We cannot have the same confidence in
people who possess this trait, no matter
flow good they may seem to be, as In
frank, sunny natures. Dealing with these
secretive people is like traveling on
stagecoach on a dark night. There is al
ways a feeling of uncertainty. We may
come-out all right, but there is a lurk
ing fear of some pitfall or unknown
danger ahead of us. We are un
comfortable because of the uncertainties.
They may be all right and may deal
squarely with us, but the trouble Is that
we are not sure and cannot trust them.
No matter how polite or gracious a se
cretive person may be, we can never rid
ourselves of the feeling that there is
motive behind his graclousness and that
ho has an ulterior purpose in view. He Is
always more or less of an enigma, because
he goes through llfo wearing a mask. He
endeavors to hide every trait that is not
favorable to himself. Never, If he can
help It, do we get a glimpse of thereal
man.
How different the man who comes out
in the open, who ha3 no secrets, who re
veals his neart to us. ana wno is xranx.
broad and liberal! How quickly he wins
our confidence! How we all love and
trust him! We forgive him for many a
slip of weakness, because he -Is always
ready to confess bis faults and to make
amends for them. If he has bad qualities
they are always in sight, and we are
ready to make allowances for them. His
heart Is sound and true, his sympathies
are broad and active. The very qualities
he possesses frankness and simplicity
are conducive to the growth of the high
est manhood and womanhood.
The Boy and the Flag.
Everybody's.
The Board of Education of Orange, N.

him than the prospect of being allowed to

Tho Orange, educators think that the
plan would foster patriotism. At any
rate, it might serve to discourage devil

sible to Buspect, and there are grounds
for the suspicion, that In case of war,

due honor, but the fighting bad boy is
