NORTHWEST WHEAT CROP.
Oregon, Washington and Idaho Pro
duca 00,000,000 Uushels.
Portland, Sept. 5. Unless there
lould he some unoxpooted light re
turns from the late sown grain not yet
nrvMted, It now seems quite probable
iat the three states, Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho, will ior the first time
record harvest a crop of approxi
mately 60,000,000 bushels of whoat.
The figures aow submitted do not, of
course, possese the same degree of ac
curacy that would be possible a month
ater. However, thoy have been com
piled from information secured by a
arge number of men In very closo
touch with the situation. Tho totals
estimated for the three states arc:
Oregon, 12,400,000; Washington, 32,
800,000; Idaho, 4,800,000.
The crop, if theso figures aro sub
stantiated by tho final returns, avail
able at tho close of the season, will bo
moro than 3,000,000 bushels greater
than any of Us predecessors and will bo
nearly 0,000, bushels greater than that
of last year. Practically all of tho in
creaao is in the stato of Washington,
Oretron falling slightly behind last
year's figures.
Thin shortago in Oregon Is duo to tho
damage by hot weather in tho river
couutloB, whero tho crop was cx'coptlon
ally hoavy last year. The Willamette
valley, whllo turning out a vory dis-
fiDDolntlnif yield compared with that
which was expected eany in 1110 sea
son, has a bettor crop than that of last
year, and thq Grand Rondo probably
ms twice as inucli wncal as 11 pro
duced last year.
The big gains in Washington wore
arcely due to an immense amount of
nev? land that is this year turning off
ta first crop, and also to excellent
yields whore crops wore vory poor last
year. The greater part of this new
land is in tho Jtlg iiend, but more is
also a lareo amount of new acreage in
the Washtucna and liorse Heaven dia
trlcts.

Decision of Interstate Commission on
Corn and Corn Products.
Washington, Sept. 2. Tho Inter
state Commerco commission today do
ohkd that the present freight charges
on corn products and corn from Mla-
sorI river points to Pacific coast tor-
rs.nals-, in so far as the rate on coin
products is more than 5 coats abovo tho
rato on corn, constitute .discrimina
tion against corn products and produc
ers thereof at places or tho Missouri
river.
It was shown by tlia decision that
10 differential rates oa corn and com
products from Missouri river points to
California terminals was for about one
year after January 5. 1800. a differen
tial of 0 cents against corn products.
Then for about ono and one-halt years
it was 0 cents in favor of corn protects.
The rates wero tho same betweetk July.
1802, and March, 1805. when a differ
ential of 5 cents againBt corn, products
was established. In December. 1897.
tho differential was increased to 10
cents, and. ia July, 1002, in was mado
20 cents. Daring March, 1004, the
differential was fixed at Xli coats,
and In October of that year it was re
duced to 10 cents and has since re
mained at that figure.
Changes In tho relations of rates on
corn and corn products from Missouri
river points to North Pacific terminals
were not generally different from
those mentioned, except that in De
comber, 1807. the rate was made the
samo on corn and corn products, and
there is now no difference unless the
minimum carload for corn is tho
marked capacity of tho car, In which
caso tho rate shows a differential of
10 cents against corn products.

CHOLERA IN GERMANY.
Government Confident or Keeping the
Disease Under Control.
Jierlm, bept. 4. i?orty-three cases
of cholera in all hare been reported.
Nine persons havo died of the disease,
and many auspicious cases are under
observation. Tho legal and medical
machinery for dealing with this inva
slon ol tho Asiatic bacillus is now
working at full pressure. Professor
Edward Sonnenburg said to the Asso
elated Press tonight that no one need
fear an epidemic such as that ot 1802
03, becauso the health authorities since
that time had built up an organization
quite adequate to grasp the beginnings I bejnK of thousands subject to
t t 1 - I J A. A. .J A. I . ....
of such cholera and to put down the
disease with precision and firmness.
The health machinery to which Pro
fessor Sonneburg alluded is working in
co-operation with the police and other
public servants. With the exception
of one death at Hamburg, tbe cholera
is confined to West Prussian districts,
and every case of illness in these dis
tricts must bo immediately reported to
the authorities. An experienced phy
sician and bacteriologist at once takes
the case under observation, and, it the
symptoms are suspicious, the person is
promptly isolated.
FORBIDDEN BY EDICT.
Avory O. Moore, editor of tho Woiser
(Idaho) World", dollvered tho principal
atSdross at tho Portland. Labor Day ex--ercises,
September 4. The address in.
part follows:
"Eaoh, American, whether he work

ho profpsees, is entitled to bo judged by

Mr Chairman, and friends;: I have
chosea these words from. a recent public
address- of a prominent member of the
Brotherhood of locomotive Firemen
Theodore Roosevelt. In, their spirit it
will be my endeavor ta speak to you
today.
It is in tbe nature of man to follow
example when he will not give heed to
precept, asd it rejoices me today to
know that the American citizen has
continually before him a pillar of
cloud by day and a pillar of fire by
night the life and character of tbe
noblest among living men tbe presi
dent of the United States. He it is
who says, "Eaoh American is entitled
to bo judged on his wortL as a man."
He it is who says, "Every man de
serves a fair deal neither more nor
less." These are the truths that power
is denying in practice, but which over
a million American worKingmen are
banded together to defend.
It was the "Bard of Avon" who said:
"Oh. it is excellent to have a giant's
strength-but it is tyrannous to use it
like a giant." The power which -gold
confers does not possess the character
of benevolence. True, there have been
instances wherein men have acquired
power and used it gently, but they are
rare and as refreshing as the Bhowers
that come in summer. The abuse of
power is the rule, and it is the abuse
of power which is giving the people
concern.
The auarrol is not so much with the
man who has power as with the condi
tions which bestow it. The system

Chlnese Emperor Orders Suppression
of Boycott.
Oyster Bay, bout. . China has
placed the boycott of American pro
ducts under the imperial ban. An
edict has been issued by the govern
ment commanding viceroys and govern
ors of provinces to take measures for
the suppression of the boycott, and
holding them strictly responsible.
The State department at Washington
has received a cablegram from Minister
Rockhill giving a summary of the
edict. The cablegram was forwarded
immediately to tho president. The
text of the cablegram follows:
"Imperial edict published yesterday
says that long and deep friendship be
tween the United States and China haa
never been tried as now. Tho United
States government has promised to re
vise tho treaty, and therefore people
should peacefully await action of both
governments. Boycott wrong and harm
ing friendly relations. It (edict) com
mands viceroys and governors to take
ffoctive action, making them strictly
responsible. Undoubtedly will have
good effect." "
Treaty for Mutual Defense.
London, Sept. 4. Diplomatic circles
here are taking deep interest in tbe
now Anglo-Japanese treaty, but as yet
they aro not in possession of anything
beyond tho brief outlines. They are
satisfied that it provides a defensive
allianco, on one hand guaranteeing
Japan tbe fruits of her victories in the
Far Eaat. and on the other hand in
suring Great Riitain against aggression
in Indi" -aO diplomats express thorn
aeK well eatisfiod that it guaran
tees peace. In German circles tbe
treaty is looked upon favorably.
Great Storm In Chicago.
Chicago, Sept. 4. The most severe
storm of tho year raged for two hours
this evening. Tho wind at times blew
40 miles an hour, and nearly two inches
of rain fell. In the business sections
of tho city a number ot signs and awn
ings were torn loose. Tho thunder and
lightning were terrlfio, and several of
the large office buildings were struck.
Several fires wero Btarted in the out
skirts of tho city. In the parks and
suburbs much damage was done.
Fair Booms Yellowstone Park.
Salt Lake City, Sept. 4. More
Americans have visited the Yellowstone
National park this summer than ever
before, according to M, II. Albin, man'
ager of the Monida-Yellowstone stage
line, who ia now in this city, Fully
20,000 persons have visited the park
since the season opened. The record
for last year was 13,000. Mr. Albin
attributed the large increase to the
Protland fair.
price of an individual, or an association
of individuals, is wrong, and to diffuse
thiB power among the people should be
the ambition of every man, whether in
private or in public life.
My brothers, I have not come to you
with a message of pessimism. One
cannot breathe the free air of Idaho's
glorious valleys and not catch the sun
shine in his life; so when I say to you
that there are great wrongs to be right
ed in thiB land we love so well, I would
have you know that I believe they can
be and will be righted righted by the
genins, and in the wrath if need be of
him who Ib greater than all tne crowned
sovereigns that have been or are your
brother and mine the American cm
zen.
Ours is a government designed to es
tablish man in the fulnesa of liberty,
and ite people will not be shackled in
mind or in industry, because shackles
strong enough for that purpose have
never yet been forged.
But they are a patient nation, the
American people. Conscious of the
strength of a race of giants, they have
elected to remain gentle under provoca
tion to strike, and strike hard. But he
who Bays they are afraid does not read
their history aright.
There are five men in this country
today who, acting in concert, could
stop the wheels of industry and bring
about the desolation that followB panic.
True, they don't do it it wouldn't pay
in dollars and cents juBt now; but the
power is theirs the power that the
people must regain. It does not alter
the condition any to say that one of
theso men is a prominent member of
the Baptist church; the church long
ago found him a burden. It does not
subtract anything from the danger to
say that another of these power en
throned men is erecting free libraries
of marble and granite. In the eyes of
labor these are but the monuments
offered by a stricken conscience to the
martyred toilers of Homestead and Lat-
timer martyrs to the despotism of
power.
From servile courts they have wrung
the brutal injunction, and with the
fruits of labor's toil purchased legisla
tion to keep themselves in power then
asked applause for erecting schools that
tho children of the poor are not permit
ted the leisure to attend, and for filling
libraries with books that thoy do not
know how to read.
I rejoice that tho despotism of power
does not rest so heavily upon tho men
and women of the golden west as upon
the toilers of the eastern states. Life
in thiB Eden-land gives an intorprota
tion to liberty that they have not ex
perienced and therefore cannot under
stand; but in tho great struggle that
engages them thoy have the right to
expect holp from you.
And the time will come, add come
quickly, when you will need their help
to preserve America for tbe American
people. It has long been one of the
unholy ambitions of the despotism of
power to throw open the portals of tha
republic to tho pagan honks of the
Chkioso omplro..
You all have reason to khnow what
that would mean to American labor
and! to American institutions. Yet
undor the hypocritical pretext that to
continno to exclude Chinese from thia
country will be to forfeit our trade
with China, the despotism' of power de
clares that the bars mutt como down.
It spoke through a national gathering
here tho other day spoke-cowardly and
to. the sham of the states represented.
But tho timo will soon bo at hand for
American labor to speak and when it
comes it will say in thunder tones that
will reverberate throvgh every corridor
of the nation's capitol, that tho repub
lic's sacred soil shall never become a
haven ior a race of men who do not
want to call it "home;" that becauso
manhood, and not the dollar, is tho
standard of valuo in measuring great
ness wo do not want, and will not
have, tho trade ol China, if it must
bring-tho labor of China with it.
Do vou ask mo how the despotism of
power must be overthrown? Brothers,
believe in the ballot the easiest
weapon to use, and the one weapon of
which power stands in deadly fear.
Use it, workers of Oregon, but first join
bands.
And I believe that the ballot should
be in tbe hands of everj American wo
man. There is no phase of existence
that woman has not brightened, and
tho American political eystom will bo
come free from tarnish and take on lus
tre whenever woman is established in
the elective franchifle. Years ago wo
struck the word "man" from the con
stitution of my state, and every election
day since then has seen tbe husbands
and wives, the fathers and mothers of
Idaho traveling hand in hand in the
steadfast ways of Citizenship. And we
would not return these wive3 and
mothers of Idaho to subjection any
more than we would take the other
steps backward into barbarism. The
happy experience of the past few years
has rendered us proof againBt ridicule
and the false doctrine of the superi
ority of man. When men say to ua
that that the ballot degrades woman
hood but they don't say that to tho
men of Idaho; it wouldn't be well with
them if they did.
Yea. the workers of this country will
come into their own through the ballot
box, and through the ballot box alone.
They will obey the laws as they find
them but change tbem when tney aro
wrong. Power prefers to obey the laws
it pleases to obey and break tno
others at will. But examples set by
power will not remain very long. Each
day ib developing strong men in the
public service men so Btrong that they
are demanding obedience to the law
alike from the hovel and the palace.
The proper employment of the ballot
will develop more of them. Then
tho despotism of power will pass for
ever. This is tbe last word of counsel
that I would leave with you today: Do
not let the superficial things of lifo
blind your eyes to the things substan
tial. Men with the reins of power in
their hands will try it, either directly
or through their minions in congress.
Don't be deceived. When your con
gressman talks to you about a larger
navy or tbe dual tariff, remind hlhr
that a national employer's liability win
be on the calendar as "unfinished busi
