"It's all a bluff a case of tall wag doc.
The street railway companies have made

beautiful lake. This lake has been the
scavenger bed of the city for years. It
abounds In rich odors, and la a great har
bor for rats and other vermin. Mosquitoes
float off Its green surface In Summer time,
also sundry ills, distempers and disorders.
. "It Is said we can dam the outlet of
the lake, pump water into It. cover the
mud flats and fill the plague spots with
fresh water. As If .this were possible!
"Why. all the pumps on the Pacific Coast
could not keep that lake above the sur
faco of the river. We could expendall
of our $350,000 fund trying to keep the
water up. and still the level of the lake
would fall with that of the river ana show
up mud flats. All the water we could
pump In would only leak out underground
Into the river. The bottom of .the lake
la loose gravel and mud. In which there
Is perfect seepage. The railroad embank
ment Is composed of slabs and sawdust,
and would leak water like a sieve.
"In order to retain the water In Guild's
Lake, we should have to sink a dike all
around It down to hard clay. Just think
of the expense! And where do you think
wo should get off at? How much of our
$330,000 would be reft for the fair?
"We don't have to achieve great engi
neering feats In getting a site. We don't
have to monkey with risks when we can
get safe sites anywhere else.

Salem Flouring Mills Unable
to Obtain the Grain.
ARE OPERATED ON SHORT RUNS
Farmers Find Dairying: and Diver
sified Crop More Profitable Than
the Cultivation of Wheat, and
Cense to Groir for Export.
SALEM, Aug. 9. (Special.) When It Is
said that 10 or 15 years ago the farmers
hauled 400.000 bushels of wheat Into Salem
every year, but last year the buyers here
could get only 45,000 bushels, some lnfer-
fchanges ' will be more gradual. Prior to
the time when the Southern Pacific took
up the task of encouraging dairying, the
farmers were" neglecting their cows, leav
ing them to pick their feed In pastures.
There was no market for country butter.
But with the advent of the creamery, but
ter "was put Into shape for shipment.
Large quantities were shipped out of the
country, the price advanced when the lo
cal demand was relieved, and dairying be
came profitable. Farmers Immediately be
gan taking care of their cows. The wheat
fields were reduced to make" room for oats
and clover, root .crops and vetches. Cows
were fed with a view to producing a
heavy yield of milk. Thus the demand
for feed Increased very rapidly, though
the number of cows In the country had
varied but little. Building up dairy herds
Is a work that takes time, especially when
the price of beef cattle leads farmers to
sell cows that might be used for breed
ing purposes. It Is therefore apparent that
the increase of hay and pasture acreage
will hereafter be slow and In proportion
with the development of the dairy industry.
Why Oats Supplanted Wheat.
The reason for the change from wheat
to oats Is evident. The average price of
oats for the last 12 months, according to
an estimate of D. A. White, of Brewster
& White, has been 32 cents, or 1 cent a
pound. The average price of. wheat has

L. L. Hawkins. "There are 15 strong men
on the Lewis and Clark board," he went
on. "They have been bluffed, or at least
partly so, by the car companies, who say
they would not extend their lines to the
City Park site because extension would
coat $640,000, exclusive of right of way.
Think- of St $610,000 for two miles of tra'clf !
Tnats JZO,wo a muo: -jum anyDoay ever
hear of the like?
"Why, It's preposterous It's absurd! It's
case of tall wag dog. The fair should
wag the car lines, not the car lines the
fair. The Lewis and Clark board should
stand up and say to the car men. 'Gen
tlemen, we will choose this fair site ourselves.'
"Mr. Swigert, of the City & Suburban
Company, and" Mr. Fuller, of the Portland
Railway Company, were Invited to say
whether they would extend their lines.
They preferred to have the fair at some
other place which It would cost them noth
ing to reach. Therefore, they said they
did not like the City Park, or words to
that effect, and everybody flocked off like
a band of sheep down to Guild's Lake.
"Let me say right here that I speak
In entire good humcr. I Impeach nobody'3
motlvea But I desire to call the attention
of the public to the absurdity of the posi
tion of the car companies. I do It without
reference -as to whether the City Park is
a good site or not.
- Board Shoald Investigate.
'JThe Lewis and -Clark board has ac
cepted the report of the street-car engi
neers apparently as final. It seems to
agree that what these engineers have re
ported as to grade and probable cost Is
Just right. But why should the board not
engage engineers of Its own? Why should
It run the risk of the car companies not
being biased?
'We are told, that a route from Jefferson
street would cost $350,000 at a maximum
grade of between Ai and 5 per cent. The
route from Washington street would cost
$290,000, at a maximum grade of 10 per cent.
but I have been told on unimpeachable
authority that .the steepest grade would
not be more than 7 per cent.
"This Is an unheard-of expenditure. Did
anybody ever hear of a railroad that cost
$320,000 n mile to build? Why, the -money
the companies estimate, or rather allege,
the extensions would cost wourd pave
the routes with gold. The companies have
laid themselves open to discredit if not
ridicule.
"The only argument that seemed to hold
water against the City Park was this
seemingly impervious one of transporta
tion. But what does the argument look
like when it has such a discreditable punc
ture in it as this? I say It looks like 30
cents. And everybody who knows about
railroad building estimates Its value at
the same fraction of a dollar.
Who Are the Financiers f
"Why, $60,000, under the most adverse
conditions, would build and equip 32 miles
of road at $30,000 a mile. But do we want
32 miles, or only two? The Hlllsboro
electric line la building a road over the
hills back of the city. Will that road cost
$320,000 a mile? If so, and If Its promoters
calculate a return on the Investment, why
cannot the other companies perform the
same feat? What kind of financiers have
our two street-car companies, anyhow?
Do they need brain food or do they want
the fair to be at a place to which it will
not cost them anything to extend their
roads?
"I say, with all 4ue respect to the Lewis
and, Clark, board, its members should
choose the site. If they wish to choose
It, they should have estimates of their
own. Otherwise they must swallow what
ever the car companies tell them and go
to whatever site the companies pick out.
"I believe the board has sufficient stam
ina to say to the- companies. 'Here is the
site for the fair, and here the fair will be.
We are not going, to build up to you, but
you will have to build up to us.'
"In the Eastern cities they do not stop
for grades,. When the grade Is too heavy
for the power of the car, they run the
car on an elevator, and pull car, passen
gers, carriage and all up any kind of a
steep incline. And they don't get tired at
It, either. Do we get tired before we be
gin? "I believe it Is easy to lift people up to
the CJty Park site and to lift up any num
ber of them. If the car companies will
not build jjp to It. well and good; we can
devise more popular ways of lifting the
public. But the companies will build.
And if they plan to expend $320,000 a mile
they will have more money when they are
done than they know what to do with.
. "Now. as to the Willamette Heights
site. The great charm of this site Is the
the Exposition building as 'a site. His
suggestion was more sensible' than he
Imagined. Next to the City Park. It Is
the best location offered. Just think about
it. It is in the heart of the city: It Is
touched by all the street-car lines. It has
plenty of area. It has plenty of water, for
Canyon -Jrtek- fles'uiid'erneat'n' and -any
number of weih? eoiifd be sunk. - It has
beautiful hills encircling it. which could
be made Into bankfi for lagoons. Haw
thorne Park, of course, has the same'nd
vantages. 'but It Is not near enough the
center of the city.'
"As one advocate of the City Park, I
am glad sentiment has had a chance to
troop off to Guild's Lake. It has shown
that "objections can be raked against any
site that ls'offercd: We can1 troop off to
any site and find disadvantages. If we
should go over to Hawihorno" Park we
should find them also, although many good
people deny IV
PRINCE CHEN ARRIVES.
Xevr Chinese Minister to United
States Accompanies Him.
NEW YORK. Aug. 9. Prlnc Chen, who
was to have represented the Chinese Im
perial Government at the" coronation of
King Edward, when that "event was ex
pected to take place In June, arrivedhere
today by the steamship St. 'Paul from
Southampton. The Prince was accompan
ied by a numerous suite, and by Sir Liang
Chen Tung, who is to succeed Wu Ting
Fang as Minister to. this country next
January. The distinguished Chinese were
met at quarantine by Assistant Secretary
of State Pierce, representing this Gov
ernment; Wu Ting Fang, James B.
Reynolds, private secretary to Mayor
Low; the Chinese Consul and the Vice
Consul. The Prince greeted the receiving
party heartily, arid after the exchange
of salutations he addressed the assembled
newspaper men as follows:
"Her August Majesty the Empress of
China desires mc to express her thanks
to the American people for their kindly
feeling toward us, and sends her gopd
wishes to all," and adding: "Every Amer
ican 13 my friend."
Upon disembarking. Prince Chen and
his party were driven to the Waldorf-Astoria.
Monday the Prince will go to Oys
ter Bay at the Invitation of President
Roosevelt. His stay in this city is limited
to three days. . t
Sir Liang Chen Tung said he was
pleased beyond expression at. his appoint
ment as Minister to the United States.
"I was satisfied they would send .me to
Paris," he added.
Drowned Man nn Airship Inventor.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9. It Is believed the
body of the man found drowned lnf the
sound near Marnaroneck Thursday with a
satchel containing machinists' tools tied
around the neck was that of Hugo "Ring
well, of this city. Rlngwell, who was a
machinist, was about 30 years old. and
a native of Switzerland. Ho was highly
educated and spoke four or five languages.
As an Inventor he had perfected .plans
for an airship and had learned the ma
chinists' trade in order that he might
build the craft. His employer said Ring
well seemed to be In comfortable circum
stances, but spoke little of his personal
affairs, of which nothing Is known.
Before leaving his boarding-house "In
this city, the Inventor destroyed all his
drawings and models, and told the land
lady to say he had gone to Germany. '

Movement Profits by Riot.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9. As a result of the

ence may be made of the change that has
taken place In the wheat-growing' Indus
try In this vicinity. Ten years ago, when
the wheat had been threshed the farm
ers would begin hauling to town. The
wagonloads of grain would be strung out
for. one or two blocks waiting for a
chance -to Unload at the, mills, and the
farmers could not go home to supper un?
til 9 or 10 o'clock at night because they
had to take their turn at the mill. Now
tho mill operators are doing the waiting,
and they look Impatiently up the street
for the loads of grain that come strag
gling in, Even with the Inducement of 5
cents per bushel premium over market
quotations, one of the Salem flouring mills
could not get grain enough to supply Its
orders for flour. The wheat was not to be
had In the local market, and the mills had
their choice of closing down or shipping
in wheat from a distance. Competition
will not permit the payment of freight
charges, and the other choice was ac
cepted. The wheat hauled to Salem, did
not supply the local demand.
-Past and Present.
Twelve years ago two large mills, one
on North Mill Creek and the other on
South Mill Creek, were In operation. The
big brick mill, of which Salem was Justly
proud, had a dally capacity of 00 barrels.
The other mill, destroyed by fire In 1S99,
had a capacity of 600 barrels. The two
inllls were operated the whole year round,
with the exception of the few days when
they were closed down for repairs. The
brick mill la now as silent as the tomb,
except when it Is In use by the flax man.
who uses a small part of one floor. Tho
mill that was burned was replaced by a
nw mill with a capacity of 350 barrels
per day, and last season's run was only 72
dnys. Bryant & Reeves, formerly of
Aumsvllle, erected a small custom mill
last year and handled some 10,000 busnels
Volcanic Activity Story Denied.

DENVER, Aug. 9. Chairman Smith, of

of wheat, but could not get near all the 1
grain they wanted. A part of the scarcity
was doubtless due to the operation of
mills and warehouses at other places In
the country.
A dozen years ago wheat was brought
to Salem In large quantities by boat, and
some Is'stlU brought in that manner, but
the decrease in the amount hauled In by
wagons, and the falling off in the amount
of flour manufactured, shows that this
section of Marlon. County has practically
abandoned wheat-raising. Back from the
river the' change has not been so greatj
but In all sections there Is a very notice
able drift from wheat to other branches
of farming which are believed to yield
greater profits and more certain returns.
Hop yards prune orchards, hay fields
and pastures have taken the "places for
merly occupied by grain fields. Wheat
has also given way to oats, and though
the local premium on wheat for home
consumption la likely to keep the aver
age nearly up to the present area, the
day of wheat-raising for export has al
most passed In Marlon County.
Good Quality of Wheat.
Tho first lqad of 1902 wheat was received
in Salem the .other day. In color, texture
and weight It was up to the highest
stahdard, and there Is every reason to be
lieve tHat the whole crop will be first
class. This, of course, was Winter wheat.
There have been reports to the effect that
the hot weather Injured Spring wheat by
shrlvcllng it, but the story has not been
confirmed. Local grain-buyers who have
been watching the crop, and who have
been oit in the country the last few diys.
Bay that they see no reason yet to think
that either Fall or Spring-sown grain will
be pther than first-class. Threshers arc
now running In several fields near here,
and soon the grain will be coming to
market.
J. G. Graham, of Balfour, Guthrie &
Co., and Bryant & Reeves, estimate that
the wheat acreage of this county Is 10 per
cent less this season than It was In 1901,
but the wheat fields abandoned have been
given to oats. The average of grain re
mains unchanged. Both these firms esti
mate that the yield of wheat per acre will
be enough better than last year to make
up for the loss' Jn acreage, so that the
total yield of wheat In 'bushels -will re
main undiminished. The yield per acre
of oats Is also' greater than last year, and
It Is estimated that tho combined increase,
of acreage and yield will make the total
crop 15 to 20 per cent greater than In 1901.
Some have estimated the Increased yield
of oats at 30 per cent, but 20 per cent
Is probably more nea?ly correct.
The rapid development of the dairying
Industry made a very marked change In
the production of wheat, oata and, hay
i during the last two years,
been about SO cents, or perhaps a little
better. Oats yield 30 to AO bushels per
acre, while wheat on the same ground
will produce from 13 to 25 bushels. The
difference in financial results Is too great
to be overlooked.
Not so much" wheat land has been given
up-to hay this year as-misht be expected.
This is accounted for in part by the gen
eral tendency toward the abandonment of
the practice of Summer fallowing.1 While
many farmers still believe ln.lettlng the
soli lie Idle one season while It is culti
vated, many are adopting thej?lanof
rotating crops and put In clover, corn, or
potatoes, and thus the average of -Idle
land Is diminished. Back In the hills It is
said that there is the usual amount of
Summer fallow this season, but in the
region that has been reached the most by
creamery routes other means of keeping
up the productiveness of the soil are be
ing pursued.
'Tho progress the dairying Industry has
made," says Mr. Reeves, of Bryant &
Reeves, "has resulted In large quantities
of wheat and oats being fed to hogs. The
farmers who now have skim milk keep
hogs to consume the milk, and must also
have chop-feed to go with It. Since deal,
ers have commenced buying eggs for ship
ment, the market has Improved and all
the farmers are keeping poultry. Fruit
growers, hopgrowers and many others do
not raise wheat and'must buy their chicken-feed.
The amount of wheat that Is.
hauled to Salem and sold to the dealers
and by them retailed to people in the
country, where it Is fed to poultry and
hogs, 13 by no means small. The man
who wants wheat for chicken-feed will
pay more for It than It will bring for
milling purposes."
Diversified Farming.
All these observations show- a strong
drift toward diversified farming in this
vicinity, andthough each Individual pro
ducer may glye his chief attention to one
commodity, the effect in the aggregate Is
to give tha community the advantage of
a condition which makes a complete crop
failure Impossible.
NO CONSIDERATION FORLIFE
Medical Officer Reports Terrible
State of Affairs on Transport.
MELBOURNE. Aug. 9. Captain Shields,
medical officer of the transport Drayton
Grange from South Africa, has made a
report, in which he says:
"The overcrowding of the ship .was
shameful and scandalous, and with
out consideration for health or loss- of
life. The air was poisonous and foul, and
the decks were always, wet, causing
oleurisy and pneumonia."
Captain Shields adds that the supply
of medicine on board was aosura, ana
that the conditions of the ship were di
rectly responsible for the epidemic and
deaths on board.
(A dispatch to the London Times from
Melbourne. August 7. reported that the
Drayton Grange had arrived there from
South Africa, greatly vercrowaea, ana
with many on board ill. Five men died
on the voyage and SO were taken to hos
pitals In Melbourne.)
Usurpation of Judicial Functions.
XEW YORK. Auk. 9. The Board ot

eral Appraisers has renderci a decision
of sreat importance to" all classes of Im
porters. It relatesto the jurisdiction of
the board. It is neia mac uie jurisdic

down under the law Is absolute and is

For some time past it is said there has
been a growing practice on the part of
the Treasury Department to withdraw
Drotests that come before the board, pre
sumably to correct errors, and thon never
bring the cases before the board again.
Instead of that, the department would
simply announce a ruling which would
cover the case In question.

In effect, that such action rjally amounts

OYSTER BAY. N. Y.. Aug. 9 PresI-.
dent Roosevelt today made public tho
full text of the conditions under which
he will approve of the plan to lay a sub
marine cable in the Pacific to connect
the XTnlted States with its Pacific Orient
al possessions. The subjoined memoran
dum clearly states the position of tho
President. To the conditions which he
formulated, the Pacific Commercial Cable
Company, or any other similar organiza
tion, must accede before President Roose
velt will stamp the project with his ap
proval. The memorandum Is not a con
tract. It simply defines a situation in
which the President will consent to the
laying of the cable. It is qulto probable
that an act of Congress ratifying the
condltlpns imposed will be necessary, but
that is another story. Thus far, the only
proposition of a responsible and definite
character that ha3 been made to the
Government to lay a Pacific cable ha3
come from the Pacific Commercial Cable
Company. That this proposition made by
Thomas F. Clark, on behalf of the com
pany, was not born entirely of a phil
anthropic desire to aid the Government
Is pretty clearly lndlcaed by the follow
ing letter of Attorney-General Knox to
the President:
"Marlborough House, Atlantic City, N.
J.. Aug. 5. 1902. To the President:
"I herewith return, as per your direc
tion, letter of Thomas F. Clark, dated
July 2S, addressed to the Secretary of
State, and by him transmitted to you,
and by you to me. with direction that
answer bo furnished you. The answer
to this letter is that the Interests of the
Government. In respect to tho matters
referred to therein, have been carefully
considered and safeguarded. I Inclose for
your Information a copy of the conditions
upon which you were willing to consent
to tho laying of tho Pacific cable. Mr.
Clark's letter seems predicated upon the
theory that the Government did not un
derstand the full situation. You will ob
serve that the conditions you have ap
proved go much further than Mr. Clark's
suggestion for the protection of the In
terests of the United States v and the
commercial Interests of its people as
well.
"Very respectfully. P. C. KNOX.
"Attorney-General."
The memorandum of the conditions im
posed bythe 'ExeciitlVevwas 'as' 'follows;
'The President, having duly considered
said application, herewith' consents thajt
the company may lay, construct, land,
maintain and operate telegraphic lines of
cables on the Pacific Coast of the United
States and the various territorial waters
of the United States, to connect the Clty
of San Francisco, CaL, the City of Hono
lulu, Island of Oahu. Hawaiian Islands,
and by the way of Midway Island and
the Island ol Guam, the Island of Luzon,
Philippine Islands, and a point on tho
coast of the Empire of China not yet de
termined.
"It is conditional to the granting of con
sent that the company was to file Its writ
ten acceptance ot the following terms and
conditions ora which consent is given:
"The company has not received any ex
clusive concession or privilege, and is
not combined or associated with any com
pany or concern having such concession
or privilege, such as would exclude any
other company or concern formed In tho
United States of America from obtain
ing the privilege of landing Its cable or
cables on the coasts of China, and will
not receive or become -associated with a
concern having any such excessive conces
sion or privilege.- The company's cablo
shall touch at no other than American
territory from the United States to tha
Chinese Empire.
'The line from .the Philippines to China
shall be constructed bj said company
and operated Independently of all foreign
companies or concerns.
"The rates to be charged for commercial
messages shall be reasonable, and In no
case In excess of the tariff- set before tha
57th Congress by George G. Ward, vice
president of tho Commercial Pacific Ca
ble Company.
"The Government business shall havo
priority.
"The United. States shall at all times
have the right to purchase tho cable lines,
property and effects of the said company
at an appraised value.
"The Government shall havo authority
to assume full control of the cable when
at war or when war 1b threatened.
"All contracts entered Into by the said
company with foreign governments for
the transmission, of messages shall bo
null and void when the United States 13
engaged In war.
"The operators and employes - of said
company (above the grade of laborer) after
saTd cable shall have been laid, shall bo
exclusively American citizens.
"The company shall agree to maintain
an effective speed o.t transmission over
the main cable route from California to
.Luzon of not less than 23 words per min
ute.. "The line shall be kept open for daily
buslness and all messages in the "order
of priority heretofore provided for be
transmitted according to the time of re
ceipt. "No liability shall be assumed by tho
Government of the United States by ves
ture of any control or censorship which
it may exercise over said line in the
eveht of war or civil disturbance.
"The United States Government does not
Insure or Indemnify said Pacific Cable
Company against any landing rights
claimed to exist In favor of any company
or companies In respect to any of the In
sular possessions of the United States.
"The consent hereby granted shall be
subject to any future action of CongrPS3,
or by the President, affirming, revoking
or modifying, wholly or In part, the said
conditions and terms on which thio con
sent Is given."
While the conditions are regarded as
stringent. It is believed the company will
accept them, and that the work of lay
ing an American cable to the Orient will
soon be begun.
