XMPROMISE ON EXCLUSION.
TrniiH-MlsxisMlppI Congress End
Its
labors In Portlnnd.
The Trans-Mississippi Congress,
which was In session In Portland all
last week, adjourned Saturday nlpht
after passing a compromise resolu
tion on Chinese exclusion.
The California delegation made a
hard fight for a resolution favoring
the rigid enforcement of the present
exclusion law, with no excuses nor
explanations whatever, but the con
vention agreed upon a compromise
which was bitterly opposed by Cali
fornia. The resolution as passed Is as fol
lows: "Our foreign trade with China is
at present suspended and unable to
discharge its cargoes at Chinese ports
and Hongkong because of the refusal
of the Chinese to handle American
products. This unsatisfactory state
of affairs is understood to have been
produced by the Improper treatment
to which the privileged classes of
China have been subjected In the ad
ministration of our laws prohibiting
the admission of Chinese laborers to
the United States,
"There are now seeking admission
to our country large numbers of per
sons from Europe, Asia and Africa,
many of whom are undeolrable and
cannot be admitted without endan
gering the high standards of Ameri-
rd n c Itl.eiislilp. Therefore, wc re-!
spectfully petition the president of!
Hie I'ulted States to, If deemed expe
dient., reiterate his Instructions for
proper treatment of the privileged
classes or i.ntna. to ascertain through
the proper channels the reasons for
the present boycott, and to appoint
a commission to Investigate and re -
port to congress, with recommenda -
lions for a comprehensive lmmlgrn -
tlon law framed to remove all unrea -
amiable restrictions. but to exclude
from the United States and our Insu
lar possessions, all undesirable per
sons from every eountrj;."

BOATS FOR UPPER RIVER.
Many Plans Are Now Being Ijilrt to
Handle River Traffic.
Plans are maturing for the building
up of a number of steamboats for
service on the tipper Columbia liver
between the portage railroad and
l,eiston. Joseph Supple has been
asked to .quote prices for the building
of light-draft boats Mr. Supple said
to the Oregon Dally Journal:
"Indications are that contracts will
soon be let for the building of a num
ber of boats to ply on the upper Co
lumbia river. It will be pos-ihla
to have them ready for service by
early sprnlg. which Is In time to bring
the major portion of the grain crop
to the portage road from the territory
of the upper Columbia and Snake
river valleys. In fact, the river will
be at a better boating stage than than
at any other season of the year."
Mr. Supple says he will build any
boats contracted for at Portland and ;
ship them In knocked down form to
Celllo. He has built and shipped a
number of stem-wheelers and propel
lers In this manner for service In
Alaskan waters.
Prosperous Powder Valley.
J. O. Maxwell, one of the most ex
perienced and widely known farmers
In Powder valley, who wos in the city
yesterday, stated that the crops of
hay, oats and barley were not only
large, perhaps above the average, but
exceptionally good In quality and ho
did not know of a farmer who would
not make good money this season. All
this, In spite of the fact that the sum
mer had been dry, there was a very
great shortage in the snow crop last
winter, so that Irrigation this year has
been limited and dry farming forced
upon the ranchers, even where dry
farming before has not been practiced
to any great extent. Home of the fruit
crops have not been good because of
early frosts, hut vegetables and lute
fruits are doing well and on the whole

P. White and Herbert Angel, of Izee.

WANT CHINESE IN HAWAII. ,
Itlcti Planters orfcr to Give a llond
for Every One Admitted.
A private letter to the East Ore
gonlan from Honolulu says the rich
planters of the Islands desire the ad
mission of from 50.000 to 80,000 Chi
nese coolies for a period of from flvs
to 10 years, the planters offering to
give a personal bond of S1000 per
head for each Chinaman admitted.
The plan Is to have the Chinese re
turn to China, not in a body on one
date, but in installments, a few at a
time, so the Islands would always be
supplied with coolie labor and yet
with a restriction upon Chinese to a
limited degree.
There is also a strong demand
among- the merchants, laborers and
small business men for the continu
ance of the exclusion act and the most
rigid enforcement of It, as theChl
nese immigration drives out white
men and builds up the Chinese mer
chants. Two Franchises Assessed.
Seattle. Aug. 21. Two more fran
chises which had heretofore escaped
assessment and taxation were placed
on the tax rolls by the county board
of equalization last night at a valu
ation, for the two, of 162,000. The
franchises in question are the electric
lighting franchise of the Seattle Elec
tric company, more commonly known
as the Shuffleton franchise, and the
franchise granting the company tha
privilege of using its streets for steam
heating pipes.
THE PLAIN TRUTH.
What More Can Pendleton People Ask
For?
When old-time residents and highly-respected
people of Pendleton
makes such statements as the follow
ing, lt must carry conviction to every
reader:
D. W. Cook. 70 years old and re
tired from active business, now living
on Main street, says: "The dull,
dragging pain In the small of my back
felt as If two giants were tearing me
apart and at times I felt so miserable
that I could not stand or walk and
was confined to my bed. Urinary
weakness set In, especially at night,
and I was falling physically every day.
At this time I happened to read an ad
about Doan's Kidney Pills and was
much Impressed with the sincerity
of the testimony, which was much
similar to the one I am making now.
I got a box of pills at the Brock &
McComas Co. drug store and they
helped me so that I continued using
them until I had taken several boxes.
Then I could eat. sleep and get
around again without suffering the
least on of physical pain. I Indorse
all of the claims made for Doan's
Kidney Pills."
