The census bureau gives out the fol lowing figures concerning the popula tion of Oregon towns of more than 2,000 and less than 65,000 population. It is very likely that none of the towns named feel greatly elated over the re turns as given. We in Grants Pass think we should have at least 3,000. These returns show Baker City to have made tbe most phenomenal in crease. After Baker City, Grants Pass and Ashland show the largest percent age of increase, about 50 per cent in the 10 years. Tbe figures show Eugene and Salem to have receded, whicb hardly appears possible in consideration of the great increase of population in the state: .. ' 1S80 1890 1900.

Martin Egan, the well known corres- nond;nt of the San Francisco "Chroni cle," returned Iroin China on the U. 8. transport Thomas, Saturday. He has been acting as a BtarT correspondent and has the following to say regarding re cent events in China. Tbe campaign just closed will prob ably be without moral effect upon the people of North China, for some of the allied troops duplicated nearly every atrocity which the Chinese inflicted upon the foreigners. Great Britafn, the good and true friend of China disclaim ing any intent to make war on the Chinese and moved only by tbe worthy plan of rescuing her ministers, turned ner Indian thieves loose and they looted and pillaged until they sickened ot the game tnemselves. Stolen property, valued at many million ot silver dollsrs, waB sold at the British legation and will be divided as prize money as in good old days of piracy. The Russian and French troops, good looters, too, could not keep their unclean hands of the women of the country, and all of the soldiery, with the exception of the Americans, shot their prisoners and even unarmed men bus pected of complicity in the anti-foreign movement. The Germans sot up courts and shot scores and Bootes of men upon charges ot being in the Boxor movement or con cerned in the anti-foreign crusade. The treatment of the Chinese everywhere was inconceivably biutal. Tbore were murder, robbery and rape until the heart sickened of it all. Mind you, this was all done by the armies ot Christian nations seeking to show the poor pagan the right way. I am proud that tbe hands of the American soldiers are clean. They did some looting, hut despite the example and the opportunity they were not carried off their feet, and once the conlusion was over General Chaffee saw that his troops remained honest. There was no need to prevent American soldiers from shooting prisoners and unarmed men. They do not do that and they could not be taught to do It. Our army will come out of China with credit to us all. It was not the best disiplined force there, for the American can hardly be trained down to absolute discipline, but in the matter of fighting in shotted superior to most others and was second to none.

At one time it was fascinating past time for me to write letters and my mind was constantly filled with thoughts which I could trauslate on paper with assurance that it would be ot interest to the receiver, but that time has passed. I now find it a task to sit down and write a letter. Perhaps tt is caused by my long separation from friends and the world has drifted us apart so that I have nothing of interest to write, for I have lost the course of their ideas and thoughts, therefore I know of nothing that would interest them. Well you know this world drifts friends apart all too easily unless we stem the tide of friendship by frequent meetings. One who remains in this country for any length of time becomes a native in respect "Never do today what you can do numana." 1 find it even very hard to sit down aud read, no matter how in teresting the book or article may bq. One's miud becomes Blow acting and your perception leaves you. I send by mails bolo and a k reuse, the former, silver mounted, was captured troiu a native lieutenant when the American forces made their advance hrough these southern province. The latter came (roin islands south. Each notch in the hilt denotes the number of human beings that have been killed with the blade. I have come very valu able curios and aa I am most likely to be moving from lime to time, I shall begin to send home those that I can send through the mail, for when I take a notion to leave here I will not have ao much lugirage, I have been asked, "Do we have watermelons here." Well they have a vegetable here that resembles the melon at home but they are tasteless like all the vegetables and fruit. Noth ing hi cultivated here. It just grows up, like Topay grew up. There are only two things here that are what you would call good. They are the mango and a eelect species of the banana which grows in small quantities through the Islands but should the fruits aud vegetables receive cultivation, the best or at least among tl.e best in the world would be produced. Corn grows fairly well here without cultivation. I see the natives currying it by my door almost every day, to the market. It sells here (or about 05 cents gold per bushel. Geneial Hall and his staff with two companies of the 8th Infantry, aud 150 native scouts left on the 3rd to scour these provinces for Insurecto bands that may be here. They are constantly growing more bold and as long as the present system of kindness is practiced hundreds of Americans are going to meet death. Chahlton B. Pkbkinh. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country thau all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years ' doctors pro nounced ita local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local tieulimnl pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dlseace, and there fore requires constitutional treatment. Hall, s Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney 6 Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonlul.

Few sessions of congress have opened more quietly than that which convened today. Advance knowledge of tbe fact that adjournment was to immediately follow the opening of - the' session in honor ot the memory of the late Senale- ora Davis, of Minn, and Grear, of Iowa, served to lessen attendance both on the floor of the house and senate in the galleries aud consequently to lessen interest in the shor' proceedings. Congressional interest it strongly cen tered in the Isthmian Canal question. Rightly rr wrongly, the announcement that the ranal commission bad cut out of ita report ita original recommendation in favor of tbe Nicaragua route, and left it to congress to decide between that and the Panama route, from the facta and figure presented, 1 taken to have been brought about by the ahresrd work of the lobbyists employed by the Panama canal company, and to pretae a fight, whicb may cause scandal betora it ia ended; the lobbyist are also credited with punting forward the Ship Subsidy bill, which is likely to be tb bitterest lought measure of the session, for the purpose of displacing the Nicaragua canal bill, whicb by resolution adopted by the senate at the last session, should he taken np on Wednesday of thia week. Thia last may hare been partly the case, but there are other reason why senators will not object to seeing the canal-bill go over for a while. Tbe Hay Pa'incefote treaty, has not yet been ratified, and Secretary Hay baa just made a treaty with Nicaragua, git- ing the Uaited States alt lbs right and privileges needed to construct the canal. Many of tbe strongest supporters of the Nicaragua caual bill think that both of these treaties should be ratified before tbe canal bill ia seriously taken up by the senate. There is constant watchfulness on the part of senators to get better seals for themselves. Applications are often Sled by senators for the desirable seats held by retiring senators, several years in advance of the date of thoir retirement, and for a senator who has a good seat, to get sick, ia always the signal for applications to be filed for his seat, In case it should be vacated. Senator Ilanna, who has had a . lesa desirable seat, filed a claim for the teat occupied by the late Senator Davis, about two years ago, and It it now hit. He did not dream, however, that the teat would come to hi in through the death ot Senator Davis. The claim was filed because Senator Davis bad filed one tor the seat of Senator Hoar, who at the time talked of retiring ou account of hit health. Representative Shaffrotb, ot Colorado, is an enthusiast and an expert on the subject ot Irrigation, tie bat introduced a bill providing for the construction of reservoirs in the arid sections of the West and for the disposal of the pub lic lands reclaimed thereby under the homestead law. He thinks it an erroneous idea that money spent In irrigation only benefits the state in which it it tpent. In hit own words: "What benefits one stale largely profits another. Thus enriching now Idle and useless ground would result In the providing for homes and a great future to thousands and thousands, of home less, helpless and penniless men in very state in the Union," Captain Carl Reichuiann, U. 8. A. who has just returned from South Africa whore he was sent by tbe war depart ment to observe the military operations of the Boers, said of the Boer com mander, whose recent successes have revived hopes among the friends ot the Boers : "De Weft a dandy. He it a little man with a clear, fierce eye and a stern visage, and weara a small black hat. One would not pick him out iu a company ot men at a warrior; and he'a a butcher, or hit brother was, but he knows how to fight." Captain Reich uiann says that although the Boers aie fine hunters and good murksmon, thoy are not good soldiers, because they are not susceptible to discipline," The story is very persistently asserted arouud Washington, although denied by war department olllcials that the president has promised to set aside the sentence of the court martial, suspend ing him from duty for aix yean, and restore General Kagan to active duty as commissary general of the army. Kagan is in Washington, but he declines to do any talking about his case. No one seriously doubtt that there will eventually be practical flying machines, but that doesn't prevent money being invested in railway and steam ship lines. Yet, a level-headed man like Chairman Hepburn of the house committee on inter state and foreign commerce, who at the last session reported and urged action on a hill for a Pacific cable is quoted as ex pressing the opinion that the claim of Marconi, whose previous experiments with wireless telegraphy have not been entirely satisfactory even for short distances, to have discovered a system by which messages can be tent across the ocean, without cables, will prevent action on the cable hill. There may be tome significance in the remark of Senator Allison, who is in the front rank of the majority leadort, that the only legislation which must abso lutely be disposed of at this sessioa In order to prevent an extra session of the next congress, outside of the fourteen regular appropriation bills, were the army bill and the reapportionment bill, and all the other proposed legislation was subsidiary and could If necessary, be laid aside until the next congress meets.

Then add white flour enough to knead. Knead well and allow it to rise again for about 3 hourt or until very light. Shape into 4 loaves handling lightly. Let it rise again in the pant and bake. During the baking, wash the tops of the loaves with milk, to gtaxe them. Water Bread Dissolve a tablespoon ful ot sugar in a pint of boiling water.
