LOOKING TOWARD
THE FRANCHISE
EASTERN PEOPLE WANT IT.
Tli Consolidated Company May
Run Parallel With It Through
Hilliboro to Forest Grove.
The Portland Journal prints the
following in reference to the street
car line headed lrom Portland to
ward this dty and Forest Grove:
The Oregon Traction company
has been approached by local agents
said to represent eastern people,
with a proposition to buy the com
pany'a franchises, right-of-way and
track now under construction.
The company's reply was that
it nothing had was for sale.
"We are getting along with con
struction work slowly but surely.
Later we expect to make more rap
id progress," said Secretary L. Y.
Keady. "Our company has noth
ing for sale. . We shall build and
operate the road to Ilillsboro and
Forest Grove. We have no con
nection with the Tillamook line,
but of course we realize that it
would be a good feeder and hope
to make arrangements to handle at
least a part of its traffic between
Ilillsboro and Portland. The con
tractors have until a year from last
June I to finish the line, but it will
be completed and in operation be
fore that time."
President Graydon is now in
San Francisco on business affecting
tile time limit of the contract. It
is said the Portland Consolidated
Railway company Is viewing the
Oregon Traction company's Forest
Grove line with acquisitive eye.
Some months ago the Consolidated
decided to locate a right of-way be
tween Portland and Forest Grove.
Three surveys were made, and it
was witn considerable swncmty
that a practicable route was found.
The easiest route has been acquired
by the Oregon Traction company,
through Batch's gulch.
The new owners of the Consoli
dated have plans for extensions to
several points. . Forest Grove,
Ilillsboro. the new line to Shaw's
island and the Mississippi Avenue
line to Killingsworth avenue are on
the list, and work on the last
named has begun.
Crops Across the Water.
In Great Britain and Ireland, the
area under wheat is estimated at
1,800,000 acres, and the yield at
63,000,000, or 33 bushels to the
acre, against an area last year of
1,400,000 acres and a yield of 39,-
000,000 bushels, or less than 28
bushels per acre.
The area of wheat in Manitoba
and the northwest territories is fully
10 per cent larger than ever before.
The acreage there is placed at 4,
000,000 and the crop at 70,000,000
or 80,000,000, by some even as high
as 100,000,000 bushels. In Argen
tine there is a good crop outlook,
and the area of winter grain ap
pears to be much larger than last
year.
In Australia, the outlook is the
most promising in ten years. De
spite unfavorable weather report:.,
the outlook in Germany seemed
fair.
In Russia, the crop prospects re
mained generally satisfactory, the
winter cereals promising nearly and
the spring grains an average yield.
In Russia it is not certain whether
winter wheat or winter rye can be
held down as average crops. -
In Hungary, the prospect was
considerably worse than in June,
but the total grain report promised
to be larger than last year.

And he need not wait long.

to stimulate men to search for new

Lightening Firea Forests.
Tacoma, Aug. 14 Charles W.
Cropp, of Balfour, Guthrie & Co.,
who has returned lrom an outing
in the Cascade mountains, witness
ed the unusual spectacle of two for
est fires which had been started by
flashes of lightning. One was
near the pass along the divide be
tween the Yakima and Skykomish
Rivers and the other a few miles
away.
Mr. Cropp thinks many of the
forest fires laid to careless campers
may be attributed to lightning.

Strike About Over.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 15. The
telegraphers' strike is about a thing
of the past, as far as the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific
trains on this division are con
cerned. For the last few days the
trains have been running on sched
ule time, or as near as they were
accustomed to before the strike was
declared. Yesterday all the trains
were practically on time, and at
present there is little fear of trouble.
The disturbance which for a time
threatened to necessitate the use of
the officers have now passed, and
the deputies sent out on duty un
der the sheriff have been recalled.

WANTON CRUELTY
AT THE ASYLUM
INSANE PATIENT BEATEN.
Throe Attendants Thrash Patient
Unmoroially and Two Are Dis
charged Without Ceremony.
Salem, Or., Aug., 14 For gross
violation of rules in beating a pa
aient at the State Insane Asylum,
two attendants at that institution
have been discharged, and a third
has been dismissed because he
stood quietly by and witnessed the
affair without attempting to inter
fere to protect the man under bis
charge. The men who have lost
their positions are Dave Waddell
and George Widdersheim, who did
the beating, and Ralph Walker,
who failed to interfere. '
The patient who received the
punishment is a man giving the
of name Swirling.who was picked up
at Hood River. He formerly lived
in' San Francisco, but so far as
known he has no relatives. He is
confined in the violent ward, over
which the three defendants have
charge. He is of ugly disposition
and loses no opportunity to play
aggravating tricks which tty the
patience of his guards.
Last Saturday the attendants
were sorely provoked by him and
thought to teach him a lesson by
severely thrashing him. While
they were in the act Dr. W. D.
McNary appeared upon the scene
and immediate dismissal of the at
tendants followed. It is one of the
first and most important rules of
the insane asylum that an attend
ant must, under no circumstances,
beat a patient. The victim in this
instance was badly bruised, but
will suffer no permanent injury.
Labor in the Philippines.
Victor S. Clark in his' report on
Labor Conditions in the Philip-
pines prints an exienaea state
ment made by an American con
tractor, in which he asserts that
Chinese labor is not needed or de
sired in the Philippines.
"Americans are themselves re
sponsible for most of the present la
bor troubles. They came ' into a
country where the prevailing rate
of wages adjusted to the standard
of living and to the cost of produc
tion in competition with other
countries, was about 32) cents sil
ver currency, or what would be 14
cents American currency at present
exchange rates. Actuated partly
by motives of sentiment and by in
experience with tropical labor, the
government authorities in employ-
. a a
ing men, raisea wages neany 000
per cent, or to $1 American a day
in many cases and, I may add,
they raised the labor cost of works
a nearly equal amount. The Phil-
ipno, like other tropical laborers,
does not increase his output to cor
respond to higher wages, neither
does he raise his standard of living
and personal expenditure with in
creased pay, but he works fewer
days and spends more time in idle
ness. So if you multiply wages by
five or six, you divide your supply
of labor by almost the same figure.
You cannot suddenly make a new
and artificial wage standard, or lift
up the standard of living by main
force in a country like this. Such
changes must extend over a period
over generations. So we are
able to get what men want to work
for us for a wage equaling 15 to 20
cents in American money at a time
when some government working-
men are receiving five times that
amount. And our men are prob
ably better contented than the oth
ers. There is an increase oi about
30 per cent in the rate of wages
paid by the railway for formation
work, such as grading, to corres
pond with the higher cost of living
on account of the cattle plague and
the two short rice harvests. We
pay our construction gangs by the
amount of work done from 9 to 1 2
cents a cubic yard. They do about
two cubic yards a day, where an
English navy would do eight cubic
yards. So while wages are one-
fourth, the cost of the work is easi
ly the same as in England.
"We don't want Chinese. The
railway concessions from the Span
ish government contained a clause
permitting us to import Chinese
coolies, and we did bring some for
grading on one section, but they
were not as successful as the Fili pi-
pi nos. So we employ only Filipi
nos. Our present construction is
delayed some, but not inuvh, by
lack of labor. We have to use lo
cal labor that living in the vicin
ity. I want to repeat, I don't be
lieve an excessive wage attracts
the Filipino, and it rather upsets
labor."
Fulton Denies It.
Astoria, Or., Aug., 14. Senator
Fulton declines to make any state
ment regarding the appointment of
a United States Judge for the .Dis
trict of Oregon further than to de
ny the reports that he has told any
one that Justice Bean or any other
particular man will be selected.
Senator Fulton is known to have
written a letter to a political sup
porter in Salem saying that (the
person addressed) would be pleased
with the appointment of federal
judge, who would be Bean. The
recipient of the letter could place
no other construction on it.

WILL BOYCOTT UNITED STATES
Chinese of Portland to Put U $2
Eaoh to Hela China Beyoott
American Made Cooda.
Washington, Aug. 15. Dis
patches received at the state depart
ment today from China show that
Shanghai is the only place where
the boycott against American goods
has assumed anything like a seri
ous aspect. At Canton the move
ment has made some headway, but
at other points it has not been suc
cessful. '
This information was supplied in
response to instructions sent some
days ago to Minister Rockhill and
the consular officers in China to
keep the state department advised
as to the progress of the boycott.
One dispatch on this subject re
ceived today was not made public
at the state department, but sent to
the president at Oyster Bay,
ONLY A PRIVATK ENTERPRISE.
San Francisco, Aug, 15 Among
the passengers on the steamship
Mongolia, which has arrived here
from the Orient, is WongKah Kah,
Chinese Imperial Tiade commis
sioner, accompanied by bis secre
tary. He is going to Washington.
It is stated that the object of his
.trip is to discuss the boycott and
the proposed new exclusion treaty.
The Mongolia brings news that
the boycott is stated in Honolulu
to have had its origin there, where
it was urged among Chinese as
long ago as February, 1 904. Ching
Yee Om, editor of a local daily Chi
nese paper, which has some circu
lation in various parts of China,
claims to have been the originator
ot the movement. A year and a
half ago he urged such action up
on his countrymen, on the ground
that their government was not
strong enough to resist the treat
ment being given by Americans to
Chinese having a right to travel in
America.
He said today: "I shall probably
go to the different commercial cen
ters which have trade 'with our
country. I have nothing to do
with the boycott, nor in my mission
to the United States with reference
to it. I want to be understood
that there is not an official in Chi
na who would have anything to do
with the boycott, and, as the last
word, I will say it is the earnest de
sire of my government to have the
most friendly relations with the
United States."
Ten thousand dollars will be
raised by the Chinese of Portland to
aid in the boycott in China against
American goods going into that
country says the Portland Tele

gram. Two meetings of the local
colony have been held at one of the
joss houses, with large attendance,
and keen enthusiasm was shown.
It was decided that each Chinese
in Portland should contribute at
least $2, but higher sums will be
accepted. Already subscription
lists have been circulated and they
are meeting with good success. It
is not known at this date how much
has been raised, as so many ot the
subscription lists have been sent to
the canneries of the surrounding
district, and they have not been re
turned. The work of collecting money to
aid in the boycott is being conduct
ed by officials at San Francisco.
The movement in Portland was
started by receiving a communica
tion from there.
"The feeling to aid in the boycott
is strong among the Chinamen of
Portland," said a Chinese merchant
this morning. "We intend to give
as much aid as possible. There
are several of the merchants who
are at the head of the movement,
and it is believed that we will be
able to raise about $ 10,000. We
have sent out subscription lists and
they will be returned in a tew
weeks. We will complete the col
lections shortly after the close of
the canning season.
"We want a free trade of people
between China and America, the
same as you have with other na
tions. We are only a small colony
to aid in this matter. Every Chi
naman in the world has been asked
to put up $2. Some of the wealth
ier class will give more. At home
lecturers are sent out to explain the
matter to the people.

Fever Causes Banana Famine.
Chicago, Aug., 15. With the
visible supply of bananas reduced
to less than half the usual amount,
because of the restrictions on im
portation made by the quarantine
at New Orleans, wholesale dealers
along South Water street are pre
dicting a famine in the fruit.
Prices during the last two weeks
have shown a steady rise, until
they about double what they weie
a month ago and the demand is
greater than the supply.
The best bananas could be bought
a month ago for $1 or 1.50 a bnnch,"
said a well-known South Water
street commission man last evening,
"They are now bringing $2 and
we can't get enough of them for
our customers."
The Chicago dealers usually sell
about 60,000 bunches a week, but
at present the sales will not exceed
20,000 bunches. Telegram. 16. .
