Washington. Auif. 1. Colorado, tho
Centennial State., 100 years younRer
thnn the union, today celobrates Its
thirty-second birthday. There are so
many wonderful thing in the United
States that it Is lmposnllle to select
one and say "this Is the greatest thing
In America." Hut if an American should
be called upon to point out that one fea
ture of his country, which In Itself Is
the epitome and reflection of all that Is
wonderful in American . progress ana
new world civilization, he would turn
to Colorado.
On August 1. ISTfi, Just 32 years ago,
Colorado became one of tho states of
the federal union. Kightocn years be
fore that Colorado whs a waste of
mountain and desert which had not yet
Irnnan civilization and which was un
inhabited save hv a few savages. It Is
Just 60 years since the first Introduc
tion of civilisation, the first permanent
sett lenient, to the Colorado or
History contains no
record than that.
Cantaloupes and Hospitality
Today Colorado ranks high among Its
later states. As vet It has not tho
great population of eastern common
wealths, but It has plenty of room. Its
mines give up wondrous toll In gold and
silver, lead and coal, each year. Its
mountain slopes ufford pasture for
counties flocks of sheep. Its farms
support Its own people and j?lvu of their
bounty to the rest of the world, al
though Colorado Is not accounted an ag
ricultural state. Potatoes grown in
Colorado are worth more In the markets
than potatoes grown elsewhere. The
Kocky Ford cantaloupe Is wortli three
times as much as its coarser cousin
from other states an the cantaloupe
growers everywhere honst that they use
seed propagated In Colorado. '
Iw-nver, the capital and metropolis or
the state, Is one of the most beautiful
titles of the country. Sitting aloft, a
mite above the level of the sea. It wel
comes the visitor from the lowlands to
a climate of invlgoratlon and delight.
Kccently It entertained the national
l'emocratlc- convention, and everybody

Colorado's gold and silver, Colorado s
v,oit,.nt,ir..a I'nlnrAiio's melons and Col
orado's ozone are known all over tho
world. It is difficult to believe that
all these things have been bioiight Into
being within the span of a half cen
tury. A look backward nt the days half
forgotten will not fall to profit.

DEATH AT CHINA'S HANDS
China, like a great giant. Is stirring
and stretching herself again and is pre
paring for another awakening that will
open tho eyes of the entire world and
which will keep the orient up and going
the rest of her natural life, according
to Alexander McLeod. of Shanghai, a
merchant who hag spent 44 years in the
land of the poppy.
Mr. Mcl.eoit fa at the Hotel Port
land, accompanied bv his wife. He Is
an Knirl iahnian Mrs. Mcleod an Amer
ican. Mr. McLeod Is connected with the
rirm of Olhb, Livingston Co., wnion
concern has branch houses In all the
nrlm-lnul cities of China. He Is making
a tour of this country for the benefit of
his hoaitn.
T'Thls nwakenlnr of China has been
brought about owing to the Intense In
terest of her people In the boycott that
has been Instigated against the Japan
ese as a result or tlio steamer imisu
Maru Incident," Mr. McLeod said yes
terday. "Where thin hnveott will end and Its
results no one knows or ventures hardly
to make a guess," the merchant con
tinued "as the Chinese have determined
to continue to hinder the Japanese bus
inesses and manufactures In every way
possible.
The Chinese assert tnai me uuywii
shall be kept up until the little
brown men have ben injured In a bus
iness way to the extent of 300,000,000
yen- . .
trots oil Katon euppiy.
'fin. nt the irrAtrint industries Of the
Japanese Is In manufacturing matches
for the Chinese. No more Japanese
matches are used now In the land of the
poppy. Instead China is importing
matches from other countries, and as
rapidlv as Is possible she Is preparing
to erect great match factories of her
own. In fact, several or tnese institu
tions have already been started and are
nearlng completion. Other match fac
tories nrp contemplated and being
planned in the various cities, and before
many months China will be making
every match that she uses herself and
millions of them besides for other na
tions. "This is also true In various other
Industries where China In the past has
denended entirely upon the Japanese to
furnish her with various commodities.
"The Chlneso are a determined people.
They have their minds set fullv on boy
cotting the Japanese and keeping It up.
The boycott. In my mind, will result In
the greatest awnkonlpg that China has
ever experienced. And this awakening
will bring new factories and Industries
that the Chinese never dreamed Of un
dertaking themselves until tho Taitsu
Maru incident arose on the horlson. -
"Thoy never realised until now that
they, too. could manufacture as well as
Japan or any other nation.
Cams Close to War.
"China has been more excited over
the Taitsu Maru mlx-up than anything
that has transpired during tho last gen
eration. It Is the opinion of muny
that where tho Chlneas government
made a mistake In rolng after the
steamer was with a war vessel Instead
of by means of a custom department
boat, under whloh department such
charges should be Investigated.
"The Chinese have besn talking of
the treatment thev received at the
hands of their rivals for months, and
the same subject will be the topic of
conversation for months and months,
snd I might say even for years. Just
naturally the Chinese do not like tho
Japanese. Bo China dldn t noea miwn
of an excuse to start a row. Now the
row Is on.
"China would have one to War with
Japan In a second If she had not roal
Ixed that she wore the weaker nation.
Kven reullrtns: the situation, the Chi
nese were so worked up over the affair
that they even considered war In spite
of the handiest), which thov were well
aware was against them.
"The Chinese are also to put on a line
of steamers In opposition to the Jap
anese. Many of the Japanose liners
start from Chinese ports. Since the
boycott was started these vessels have
been sailing practically empty, where
beforehand thev were well loaded.
Handle Own Shipping.
"Millions of dollars' worth of goods
eh year are shipped to Austrs Ha f rom
China In Japanese steamers. This busi
ness has all been withdrawn from the
companies flvlng the Japanese flags.
Now China proposes to handle the ship
ping business herself.
"The Americans and English doing
business In the orient are not affected
by tho boycott and are contrnulng as
before.
"Another important feature that the
Japanese nave been compelled to con
tend with Is tho abrupt falling off of
the steamship passengor business out of
Chinese prtrts. A Chinaman would no
more think of taking r Jap steamer
than ho would of coming to America
without a passport."
Mr. and Mrs. McLeod came over by
way of Vancouver, British Columbia.
From Portland they go to San Francisco.

The old proverb about the "111 wind''
Is proved In the case of Colorado, for It
Is to the disastrous financial panic of
185fi that the state owes Its beginning.
That panic was caused by the gieat in
flation of the currency by the Issue of
State bank notes. It was a panic which
struck rich and poor alike and man y
fortunes were destroyed by it. Men
turned toward tho west with hope for
the future. Pown in Georgia the panic
had wrecked one V. Green Kussell of
pnwson county. He gntnereo

was not to be a settlement for a day
or n vear. and the settlers showed by
tlirir 'demeanor that success was the
onlv end In eontemi teflon. The town
was called St Charles ami was laid out
under the laws of the territory of Kan
sas of which Colorado was then a part.
The name was changed to Penver In
honor of General J. V. Penver. who was

That 111 wind was still blowing good
to Penver. The panic, was sorely dis
tressing the country and Horace Greelejr
was saving "Go west, young man.

Its direction, and. as was the case wnn
California nine years before, the ad
venturer and the outlaw went along with
the honest and hardy pioneer. Hut there
ere no mollycoddles.
"Territory of Jefferson. "
By April, 1S59. less than a year after
the first real settlement, the people of
Colorado deemed themselves quite
ready for statehood and set about ob
taining that boon. A convention was
called to meet In Penver. although
there were fewer than 1. 000 pople In
the whole territory. This convention
met and with characteristic spirit de
clared the section to be independent of
the territory of Kansas. It then set up
a provisional government for the "Ter
ritory of Jefferson." selected a governor
and a delegate to confress and proceed
ed to do business.
While the convention was In session,
on April II, 1SS9. to be exact, a wagon
train bearing a printing press and ac
companied by William X. Hyers and
'Thomas Gibson, arrived tn Perrer. Two
days later the Rocky Mountain News
iru horn and Penver had a newspaper
When the convention reached Its con
clusion, the News took down the name
of Kansas and substituted that of the
Territory of Jefferson at the head of Its
columns. Tho were brave days snd
brave men.
Tha TJsae of Fsbltclty.
Denver was attracting the attention
of the whol country by that time The
letter postage was SO cents snd the
time from New York three months. One
day in June, when penver was getting
ready to celehrate its nrsi oirtnuay .ni
nlversarv, an Important thing happened.
A coach came Into town and from It
alighted thrco famous newspaper men
Horace Greeley of the New York Tri
bune, Albert P. Richardson of the Bos
ton Journal and Henry Villard of the
Cincinnati Commercial. From that day
until this Penver has never underesti
mated the value of newspaper public
ity. The three famous correspondents
staved some time Indeed, Richardson
was a leading citizen of Colorado before
he returned to Journalism to become a
famous war correspondent for the New
York Herald during tho clvat war. Mr.
Greeley Is looked upon now as one of
the fathers of Colorado, and a most
prosperous city boars his name. Hut
there is evidence that the long trip
across the plains told upon him, for In
one of his first letters back to New
York he described the desire to go to
Colorado as "madness suicide mur
der." The horrors of that trip also
made Greeley an advocate of the Pacific
railway, a scheme first brought to con
gressional attention by Thomas H. Ben
ton in 1849. And to tell the whole
truth, Colorado never amounted to much
until the railroad came. In 18 10.
Jefferson Not a Oood Warns.
Through all those days the name
"Colorado" was riot yet thought of for
the territory. The greater part or the
country called it the western part of
Kansas. The few people about Penver
and Colorado Springs called It "Jeffer
son." When the people of the new
western settlement went to Washington
with a bill to create their new territory
congress was torn by tho dissensions
which soon woro to precipitate civil
war Jefferson was the founder of the
Pemocratlc party and that particular
congress would not have his name In
any place of honor. Many names were
suggested Idaho, Tampa, Nemara, San
Juan, Lula. Arapahoe, Weappolao, Ta
hosa. Lafayette, Columbus. Franklin
and t'olona. all havliifj tlieir advocates.
As the bill first passed "Idaho" was the
chosen name, hut afterward "Colorado"
was substituted ut the suggestion of
Senator Wilson of Massachusetts. When
the territory was organized In 1860 It
had 4.000 people, but the Inconven
ience of the life and the call of clansring
arms in tno war caiiea many or tnem
back east. The tide did not again set
toward Colorado until the railroad came.
The Panto Colorado's Friend.
If history repeats Itself, Colorado
ought always to welcome a financial
panic. The crash of 1S57 brought civili
zation to the state, and in a less direct
fashion, tho panic of 1873 brought Colo
rado to statehood. The latter panic
had caused great dissatisfaction with
the Republican party and gave the
house of representatives to the Pemo
crats in 1S74, only nine years after the
close of the war. Colorado wanted to
be a state. The Democrats believed they
had a chance to elect a president In
187ti. The Republicans needed new
senators to keen live Pemocrats from
cuntrolHng both branches of congress
Tne Republican delegate In congress
from Colorado. Jerome B. Chaffee, was
to be succeeded by Thomas M. Patterson,
a iwmocratic delegate-elect. Chaffee
believed the new state would go Repub
lican. Patterson looking at his own
success believed It would go Demo-
ocratlc. One convinced the Republican
senate, the other convinced the Pemo
cratlc house So it was arranged that
Colorado should come Into the Union
In 1S71, the centennial year. The first
plan for admission on July 4 had to be
abandoned, and It was August 1 when
President Grant signed tho proclama
tion of statehood.
One Way TUdsn Was Beaten.
The Republicans controlled the con
stitutional convention In the new stnte
and that body directed that the electors
foil the presidential contest of 1876 be
selected by the legislature, as there was
not time enough to hold an election.
The legislature was Republican and It
selected three electors who cast their
votes for Hayes, thereby defeating TU-
den for the presidency. One of the

ballast from Honolulu to load lumber
for Shanghai. She coines under charter

company. W. A, Anderson of Van

It is believed that tho Uucrania will
have to go on the drvdock for a general
overhauling, but this question will not
be definitely settled until Mr. Anderson
lias consulted thu captain of the big
tramp. The steamer Is supposed to
have heen damaged some way on her
way to Honolulu with a cargo of coal
for the Atlantic fleet. She was one o
the first vessels to deliver fuel at the
Islands for the fleet. The Bucranla will
carry all of 3.500,000 feet. The cargo
will bo furnished by mills of this city.
It was announced this mornlnir that
the charter of the Russian steamer tiun
garl to carry lumber from this port to
Shanghai has been canceled. The Bun-
jarl Is at Guayinas, having been lylnfj
uib mere several montris. Another
steamer will be substituted for ih
Russian, since the cargo has been
bought and Is about ready for shipment.
It is understood that tho Russian
steamer was not large enough for I he

(Special lLpateb to The Journal)
New Turk. Aug. 1. The tenth floor
of the big Metropolitan Lifo building,
overlooking Madison Square, presented
a scene of aotlvlty today. Closeted be
hind the doors of the Inner chambers
men were engaged In animated confer
ence, In the ante-rooms tho clerks and
attendants were suavely granting or
denying admission to visitors, and
everywhere there wore messengers scur
rying hither and thither.
The scene was tho headquarters of
tho Republican National committee and
the occasion was the first dav of busi
ness In connection with tho presidential
campaign. Many visitors called today,
but comparatively fow were given an
audience. The heudiiuarters will not be
In shape Tor real ouslness until next
week, when Mr, Hitchcock and his ua
slstants will tnko off their coats and be
gin work In earnest.
From tho headquarters In the Metro
politan building tho Taft campaign will
lie directed In Its every detail. Chi
cago and Cincinnati will be scenes of
activity In connection with the Repuhll

quartern will he the fountain-head from
which all Important orders will be Im

contributions will flow.
No Drones In This Hltre.
The national committee will work In
elosa harmonv with tho congressional
committee, which is to have Its head
quarters In tho St. James building. The
two headquarters have been connected
by private wire and It Is expected there
will ho frequent conferences between
tho members of the two committees.
Tho relations between ti two In fact
will be far more Intimate than was ever
the case In any previous campaign.
I he headquarters of the national I
committee are the same ns those occu
pied as local headquarters In the last
two national campaigns. Hut the vis
itors, today found few of the old famil

rounded himself with a clerical force
that Is almost entirely new to the work.
For the most part the clerks and at

that It wiil have to get along with a

Gold Beach, Or., Aug. 1. The follow

icle refers to Captain Kobert Caughell,
wljo for some time was captain of th-a
gasoline schooner Berwick and a resi
dent of this county. He Is a nephew
of Captain James Caughell of this
place:
"Robert Caughell, captain of the ferry
Steamer Antelope, entered the office of
O. R. Georgeson, a prominent real es
tate dealer, und offered him a document
to bo copied and signed In his hand
writing which purported to bo a con
fession of Georgeson that he had made
Improper advances to Caughella wife
The two men entered a private office
and locked tho door.
"Caughell Is supposed to have nro
duced a revolver and forced Georgeson
to copy the document but when tiro
signature was reached Georgeson re
fused to affix his name. An employe
of the Freeman Art company, next
door, heard a scuffle and telephoned to
the police station for aid. Officers en
tered the offlcs and placed Caughell
under arrest.
Ueorgeson was found lying on the
floor unconscious and bleeding from a
beating he had sustained at the hands
of Caughell. Caughell fired one shot,
but failed to hit his man. Georgeson,
fearfully bruised and lacerated about
the head from tno beating received from
Caughell. was rushed to the hospital,
and ut last accounts was not In a
critical condition. Caughell was placed
under $5,000 bonds."
Caughell. after having been relieved
of tho command of the small schooner
Berwick, was employed as mate on the
steamer Breakwater plying between
Portland and Coos bay. but did not hold
the position but a few trips, 'hlle
here li had the reputation of courting
notoriety.
