ABOUT THE BOYCOTT.
By men posted and who rea
son the opinion has been main
tained that China would suffer
more than United States in the
long run as a result of the boy
cott she was declared to have
instituted against American pro
ducts. As one or the other party
is certain to be worsted, boycott
ing becomes serious business.
It has been pointed out in these
columns before that China would
be the loser ultimately as the re
sult of the boycott. The reason
was plain she required our pro
ducts. Never at any time did
China or any other nation buy
our goods simply . to benefit us.
They bought of us because we
had for sale what they required,
and, prices and quality consider
ed, we would do better by the
purchasers than any other nation
could on the articles desired.
We do not want, nor will we
admit China's coolie horde. They
are undesirable from any sane
standpoint the country is better
off without them. This is no
discrimination against China, for
on the same principle this coun
' try would fare far better if the
scum of Europe were not allow
ed to set foot on Yankee soil".
The better class of citizens of
any civilized country will not be
excluded, although the time
1 . , a.; 1. t
w iieu our miiigiauuii laws must
be made more severe is not far
distant. Good, respectable citi-
. zens, capable of assisting in the
j development and upbuilding of
this land will be treated with all
courtesy and respect and laws
made that will be just and appeal
to the sense of righteousness of
all:
So it is with China and her
better class. While we may not
grant the Chinese the privileges
of citizenship, we will enact new
laws granting more freedom to
the better classes of that king
dom. As regards the bestowal
of citizenship that is different,
We retain as our right the mat'
ter of granting or withholding
citizenship to or from any people.
Saner counsel has prevailed in
China and steps are being taken
to subdue the boycott waged
against American products. An
imperial edict has been wafted
throughout that dragon land and
good results are reported to be
tailing along in the wake of said
imperial decree. A few days
ago the state department at
Washington received from Minis
ter Rockhill the following cable
gram, which gives an idea of the
Chinese situation and steps taken
to end the boycott: -
Imperial edict published yesterday says
that long and deep friendship between
the United States and China ha! never
been tried as now. The United States
Government has promised to revise the
treaty and people should peacefully
await action of both governments. Boy
cott wrong and harming friendly rela
tions.; It (edict) commands Viceroys and
Governors to take effective action, mak
ing them strictly responsible. Undoubt
edly will have good effect. Shanghai
reported yesterday situation improving.
From this one may safely as
sume that sumething has hap
pened to put the Chinese wise to
the fact that they can best serve
their own interests by not at
tempting to put '.'Uncle Sam"
out of business.
KEEP FROM THE EDGE.
.- v X :
As the moth is drawn toward
a flame, so we find certain folr
lowers of all political faiths act
ing. : There are those' who are
never satisfied without they are
' 'teetering on the edge. ' ' That
there is little sense or necessity
for such a teeter is ably set forth
by the Albia (Iowa) Union, as
follows:
The Republican party is old'

should be ousted and Democracy,
populism or socialism put in its
place. All the good laws we have
for the protection of American
industries and the good wages of
American workingmen have been
given by the Republican party,
and when that protection is torn
down by tinkering with the tariff
the good wages will go down
with. it. Cleveland's adminis
tration proved that so clearly
that every laborer in the land
cannot forget it. Disgruntled
Republicans of today will have
occasion to remember the hard
times of free souphouse experi
ences'and depression of business
on all lines just prior to the first
election of William McKinlev in
1896 if they continue to howl for
Bryan and La Follette, who are
stumping the country in the in
terest of populism on the Chau
tauqua passport this year. We
warn, but do not dictate. Any
man is privileged to run after
iaise goas 11 ne wants anew
altar . of worship. But the
honest toiler who wants a full
dinner pail and a job that will
make his family comfortable will
look long before he leaps into the
populist band wagon : again.

reciprocity with other countries
the Republican party has given
and it may be safely trusted to
with that work in the future.
Democracy means positive Free-
Trade, and the covert opinions
on reciprocity by some Repub
lican editors are furnishing
material for Democratic suprem
acy as fast as they - can make
it up and shoot into, the public
under the guise of needed recip
rocity, according to the Iowa
idea. It is not the Demoncrat,
or the Populist, or the Socialist
who is being hoodwinked. It is
the Republican alone- It has al
ways been the Republican. The
sidetrack parties are made up
from Republicans who think
more of self than the principles
of the party that , help the
Government and nation , to help
itself. These facts should be
considered and a tariff education
commenced now for the great
battle that will be on in 1908.
BAD FIRE ON C. & E.
Wealth of Timber,; Burned, Also
Farm Houses.
Friday afternoon word came to
Corvallis to the effect that Mill
City was burning up. As the
Curtiss saw mill is located at this
place, considerable anxiety, was
manifested in Corvallis,;.- for it is
well known here that this mill
is of great importance- to the
people of the entire valley. The
sawing capacity of the mill is
about 100,000 feet of lumber per
day and its loss would seriously
affect building throughout this
section of the state.
L,ate in the evening the report
that Mill City was burning up
was denied here and rumor had it
that Gates was the scene of the
fire. It became known in the
meantime that the three o'clock
train which comes from Albany
and waits here until 6 o'clock
in the evening had been ordered
to the front directly alter three
o'clock. This knowledge added
to the general uneasiness. From
reports received later it appears
that affairs were not so bad as
feared, although very serious.
The Albany Herald of Saturday
gives the following account of
the fire; '
For the past several days fires
have been burning in slashings
near Mill City, and these yester
day broke away and spread
through the woods " near . that
point, doing great damage to
farming property, timber and
wood piles belonging to "the rail
road, and yesterday afternoon de
stroyed some track and small
bridges on the Corvallis & East
ern railroad. One slashing; east

enough to take care of this great
nation in all its changes of law

what it has done in the past it
will continue to do in the future.
of Mill City has been burning for
several days, and the fire escap
ing from there spread to the
woods along the track'of the C.
& E. and vesterdav afternoon at
mile post 122, this side of Gates.
burned large piles of railroad
wood belonging to the company.
Here also several small culverts
were burned and ties under the
rails were destroyed, temporarily
mtertering with travel. A few
miles west of Mill Citv. in Linn
county, another slashing, a large
one, was burned, and the fire
from this escaped and spread out
over a considerable' territorv.
burning railroad wood and large
piles of ties owned bv the com-
pany, doing heavy damage.
1 ne nre also destroyed several
!arm houses in the hills near Mill
City yesterday and the occupants
lost tneir al", escaping only with
their lives. The fire was not re
lieved to be endangering the farm
property until a nigh wind came
up vesterdav afternoon, when the
flames spread with alarming
rapidity, and the entire neighbor
hood was called out to fieht the
fire. It was then that the farm
houses in the woods in the track
of the fire were burned.
When the eeneral office of the
Corvallis & Eastern railroad in
this city were informed of the
spread of the fire and the danger
to trie company's property yes
terday afternoon, just after the
Corvallis train had left this city,
orders were sent to Corvallis for
the train, which usually remains
there until six o'clock, to at once
return to this city. Bridge Fore
man J. H. Stevens was in the
city, and he at once gathered up
the bridge gangs and section
crews from all. along the road,
and the train running as an extra
east left Albany -at 4:30 for Mill
City to fight the flames, all avail
able men employed by the com
pany being taken along. The
engine on this train is fitted with
fire hose, and the run to Mill
Citv was made for the DUroose of
using the engine as a fire engine-
Water through the hre hose ap
plied to the burning ricks of
railroad wood soon extinguished
the flames where they threateded
the road and a large amount of
property was saved in this way.
Mill City was not in any dan
ger last evening, though the fire
was less than two miles from the
sawmills and lumber yards, and
every precaution was taken to
prevent the flames reaching the
plant of - Curtiss Lumber com
pany. A telephone message late
last night from Mill City brought
the informrtion that the fire was
practically under control, and
though it was still raging, it was
thought that the danger from
further extensive loss was practi
cally over.
It is stated that, as the fires in
both instances came' from the
burning of slashings, prosecu
tions may follow for the reckless
setting'of fires, - and if the parties
responsible for the fires can be
ascertained they will be prosecu
ted to the full extent of the law.
Fortunate it is for them that no
human lives were sacrificed in
the fires.
Business on the east end of the
C. & E. Railroad was temporar
ily tied up last evening, the
train from the front being on the
other side of the fire,, and owing
to the burning of some of the
cattle guards and culverts" east 01
Mill City the train did not come
through on time, reaching this
city at one o'clock this morning.
As the force of bridge carpenters
is at that end of the line, temno-
rary repairs were promptly made,
so thatihe travel was not inter
rupted for long. .
