CHINESE GIVE THEIR VIEWS
Kb Other Method, They Soy, Can
Be Used to Call Attention to In
justice Done Merchants
v. i
and. Students.
SEATTLE, July 3L (Special.)-The Pa
cific Coast must pay the price of the
Chinese boycott against American wares.
This Is the opinion expressed today by
two of the largest Chinese Importing and
exporting firms, and all the steamship
companies interested In the Oriental
trade.
Incidental to this summing up of the
fight for changes In the exclusion laws,
two Seattle Chinese hguses summed up
the situation In a new and hitherto
scarcely appreciated manner.
"The boycott." said Chin Kay. of the
Quong Tuck Co.. "Is inaugurated because
no other method served to call attention
to the Injustice shown Chinese merchants
and students. China and America are
friendly; China has not forgotten how
President Roosevelt's note at the begln
ing of the Japanese-Russian war saved
Manchuria. Nor has China forgotten all
that America has done for that country.
But there Is elmply no other means of
forcibly Impressing the Chinese side of
the exclusion act upon Americans."
Louis Kay not related In any manner
to Chin Kay of the Man Hop Company,
pointed out another Interesting phase of
the fight. Said he: "So far as the cotton
.goods and ilour exports of this country
are concerned, America will simply find
another market. Possibly it will mean
that China must pay more for her sup
plies than would havo been paid If trad
ing with this country continued. The
world's supply of cotton and wheat is
limited, and if a surplus elsewhere is
wiped out by China's demand, America
will supply that surplus.
"The cotton and wheat-growers will not
lose anything. But the manufacturers of
all factory products will lose, for the fac
tories of other countries can handle the
additional trade without leaving a place
for America to sell her surplus. Thus the
labor unions which have provoked this
fight will be the losers."
These are the views of two of the
shrewdest Chinese in Seattle, and they
are emphasized by figures' prepared by the
steamship companies interested in the
Oriental trade. These figures, show that
the cotton goods trade has been diverted
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the
boycott threatens to undo all that the
transcontinental railroads, have spent
years to accomplish in diverting the trade
by way of coast seaports.
Here are figures that show the gains
of this Coast and the fact that during
the first six months of the present year
the cotton goods exports from this Coast
exceed the volume of business for all of
19W. The figures by ports are:
BAUES
1004 f 1905
(Tear.) (6 Mon.)
San Francisco 0.1.340 r.2,7n
Tacoraa 27.117 08.135
Seattle 12.082 S8.ri05
Vancouver. B. C S9.944 77,308
In the meantime the Suez route, which
handles cotton piece goods shipments from
the Atlantic ports of this country, took
101,910 bales' In 10M and 74,700 in the first
six months of 1903. This year the per
centage going by Pacific Coast ports is
77; a year ago it was 65, indicating the
cotton goods trade is being gradually
turned this way.
The low to the Coast In the cotton
goods trade will largely be In the mat
ter of freights and money spent in han
dling the shipments.
Steamship officials here representing
four lines declared today that no orders
for space for goods consigned to China
had been cancelled. But this is account
ed for on the ground that existing con
tracts will be carried out. AH the com
panies have space reservations made for
several months ahead and expect trou
We in the Fall when the trade picks up.
This is the quietest period in the Chinese
trade.

DROVE STAGE IN EARLY HI
Ii. O. SCOVELIi DIES IN SALEM
AT AGE OF 70.
Familiar Figure on the Box "When
There Was No Railroad on
the Coast.
SALEM. Or.. July 31. (Special.) After
a very eventful career, L. C Scovell, vet
eran stagedrlver and mallcarrier of the
Pacific Coast, died at the hospital here
today, aged 70 years. He came from
Iowa in 1863, and drove the. first stage
coaoh on the Coast, between Corvallls
and Oregon City, a year later. In 16G0 the
California Stage Company was organized
and a line established between Portland
and Los Angeles.
Scovel drove the first stage of this
line out of Portland. He continued
driving until the abandonment of
the service, in 1S72, whon the Oregon
& California Railroad was built. He car
ried mall for the Government until a few
months previous to his death, on stage
lines and between the postofllce and depot
here.
Scovell was recognized as one of the
best of the pioneer stagedrlvers and was
a familiar figure among the pioneers. It
was he who drove the stage from Corval
lls to Salem at the time of a daring hold
up on Jackson's Hill, north of Jefferson.
The tage was loaded with passengers
and carried a considerable sum of money.
At the crest of the long hill, down which
the road winds, two robbers sprang from
the brush, leveled revolvers at the driv
er's head and commanded. "Hands up!"
Scovell swung his long whip and cut the
leaders a stinging blow that sent the four
horsfK galloping down the hill, while bul
lets flew thick behind. The stage was
several times balancing on the wheels of
one side, J)ut righted itsolf and brought
its load safely to Salem.
At the beginning of an exciting legisla
tive session, before trains were running
to Salem. Scovoll's skill as driver
brought H. W. Corhett and his friends to
Salem ahead of their opponents and thus
secured for them a material advantage
in an organization fight.
The entire half-century of his life in
Oregon was spent by Scovell In carrying
the United States mall. During the last
few months of his life he was engaged In
the rural free delivery service. Always
accommodating to patrons, faithful to
employers and kind to his horses, "Cal"
Scovell was loved and trusted by all.

party to the fraud.
A contractor 1c bosnd by his agree

lien.
SALEM. Or., July 3L (Special. Mrs.
Emma Murray, of Santa Rosa, Cal., won
in the Supreme Court today in the suit
brought against her by Sam Casto for the
possession of the pacing stallion Diablo.
Casto claimed the right to possession of
the horse under a contract of employment
with William Murray, the owner, and un
der a contract with Mrs. Murray, after
her husband's death.
About a year ago Mrs. Murray, Dr. T.
E. Strong and E. D. Crockham broke the
lock on the stable door at. the State Fair
grounds and took the horse away. This
replevin suit was then brought A trial
before Circuit Judge George H. Burnett
resulted In a verdict for Mrs. Murray and
Casto appealed.
The Supreme Court holds that whatever
right Casto had to the possession of the
horse was under his contract with Mrs.
Murray, but as the alleged contract was
made after the husband's death and be
fore the appointment of an administrator,
no title was conveyed thereby. Mrs. Mur
ray, as an heir, had a right to the pos
session of the horse pending the appoint
ment of an administrator, but no title
could be secured by any person except in
pursuance of orders made by the County
Court in due course of administration. The
opinion of the Supreme Court was writ
ton by Justice Moore.
A. A. Kaddorly, appellant, vs. City of
Portland, respondent from Multnomah
County, M. C. George. Judge, affirmed;
oplnI6n by Chief Justice Wolverton.
Improvements were made on East Burn
side street In Portland, between East
Eighth and East Twenty-eighth streets,
under the chartor of 13S- The collection
of the first assessment" was successfully
enjoined, because the proceedings were
Irregular and the City Council reassessed
the abutting property for the cost of the
improvement.
This suit was then "brought to enjoin
the reassessment on the ground that no
tices were not mailed to property-owners;
that the contractor did not make any
attempt to comply with the contract and
that ttie City Engineer and his deputies
fraudulently represented that the contract
had been compiled with, and thus secured
.the Issuance of warrants. Other defects
in the proceedings wre alleged.
The Supreirie Court holds that the pub
lished notice was sufficient. Upon the
question of fraud. It Is held that the
plaintiffs had a hearing before the City
Council and the Council, having passed
upon the objections, the plaintiffs are pre
cluded from raising the Issue In this suit
unless it be shown that the Council itself
proceeded fraudulently, which Is not al
leged. No error being found, the suit Is
dismissed.
John Gray, respond on t, vs. M. L.
Jones, appellant, from Marlon County,
William Galloway, Judge: revorscd and
dismissed; opinion by Justice Bean.
Gray contracted for the construction of
a dwelling for Jones for the sum of 51150.
according to certain plans and specifica
tions. The contract provided, among
other things, that Gray would save Jones
free from the payment of any Hens for
labor or material. During the construc
tion many changes were made In tho
plans and Gray brought In a bill for ex
tras amounting to JSS2.15, upon which
Jones paid $1465.16 and refused to pay the
balance on the ground that the charges
were unreasonable. This mechanic's Hen
was then filed and was sustained by
Judge Galloway. The Supreme Court,
however, holds that Gray Is bound by
his' agreement to hold Jones free from
liens, and dismisses the suit.

Nanalmo's Existence Threatened hy
Fuel Company's Stand.
NANAIMO. B. C, July 21. (Special.)
"It is the intention of the "Western Fuel
Company not to reopen No. 1 mine dur
ing the remainder of the year, and not
then, unless conditions now existing are
materially altered."
So said Superintendent Stockett today
when approached on the strike situation.
If this threat is made good, it will result
In the bankruptcy of at least three
fourths of Nanalmo's business houses,
the closing up of many institutions and
bringing the city on the verge of ruin.
Referring" to the Breachln mine, Mr.
Stockett stated that in deference to the
wishes of a number of miners that an
other opportunity will be given them to
work here, the conditions not being the
same as at No. 1. the big mine on which
the city depends for its support. The
colliery company will receive applica
tions for miners up to "Wednesday, and If
enough can "be secured. Breachln mine
will resume operations Thursday. Other
wise it Is reported the mine will be
filled with coolies.
The Western Federation of Miners,
whose membership does not exceed 20,
voted today to return to work. The
United Mine "Workers, with a member
ship of 700. and with whom the Issue and
the colliery company has narrowed down J
to a straight fight for recognition, are j
still obdurate. It now remains to be '
seen if the "Western Federation can mus
ter up sufficient force to operate the col
lieries, in which event a-clash between
the two unions Is feared. .

A petition is being circulated among the
business men of Pendleton, which,, when
signed by the majority of property
owners and citizens, will he presented to
the O. R. & X. Co.'to ask for relief of
the present congested passenger service.
During the past six weeks trains pass
ing through Pendleton, going both east
and west, have been loaded down to such
an extent that it Is almost Impossible
to travel with convenience.
Though the company has placed addi
tional day coaches and sleepers on all
through trains, the situation does not
seem to be relieved. Tourists as well
as old-time patrons of the road have been
crying for an Improved service, and there
now seems to be a movement among the

an extra passenger train.
The people of Pendleton are desirous
that an extra train will be put Into
requisition by the O. R. & X. at least
until the end of the Lewis and Clark
Exposition.

OBJECTION IN VAIN
Documentary Evidence to Be
Admitted Against Collins.
JUDGE LAMPMAN SO RULES
Convincing Showing Is 31atle by the
San Francisco Law Agent Be
fore the British Columbia
Justice at Victoria.
VICTORIA, B. C July 31. Judge
Lampman this afternoon decided
against tho objections raised by George
D. Collins In the extradition case pro
ceeding here as to the admissibility of
documentary evidence sent from San
Francisco. Collins contended at length
that, the evidence sent from San Fran
cisco which included depositions and
records in the suit brought against "him
by Charlotta Collins for maintenance.
In which, tho perjury alleged against
Tilm was said to have been made, was
Immaterial, Irrelevant and not properly
authenticated.
As to the depositions the questions
of authentication were not decided, but
the Judga held that tho papers in the
maintenance suit were to be admitted.
Mr. Higgins showed them to be admis
sible under the Canadian evldenco act.
and under the British Columbia of
King vs. Cooto X it was shown that all
papers bearing1 upon the case shoiild
be admitted.
Collins said he proposed to attack
the constitutionality of Canadian evi
dence act, holding- that Great Bri
tain alone could decide what was evi
dence. Ho objected to the deposition
of Charlolfa Collins being Included, on
the ground that a wife could not give
evidence against a husband, and she
had alleged she was his wife.
Mr. Higgins pointed out that under
the Canadian evidence act a wife's tes
timony was not only admissible hut
she was a compellable witness. The case
has been adjourned uptil "Wednesday.

vorce, the Judge ordered that Collins

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by HI Onn Case for a
Tlme. N
It's easy to understand how ordi
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facta
.A physician speaks of his own ex
perience: "I had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe It was
injuring me, although I had palpita
tion of the heart every day.
"Finally one day a severe and almost
fatal attack of. heart trouble fright
ened me and I gave up both tea and
coffee, using Postum Instead, and since
that time I have had absolutely no
heart palpitation except on one or two
occasions when I tried a small quan
tity of coffee which caused severe irri
tation and proved to me I must let It
alone.
"When we began using Possum it
seemed weak that was because we did
not make it according to directions
but now we put a little bit of butter In
the pot when boiling and allow the
Postum to boll full 15 minutes, which
gives It the proper flavor and the deep
brown color.
T have advised a great many of my
friends and patients to leave eft cof
fee and drink Postum. in fact, I dally
give this advice." Xamo given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea- and coffee In
their own homes and prescribe It to
patients. "There's a reason."
A remarkable little book. "The Road
.to Wellvllle," can be found in each pkg.
