OBEGON'S BRILLIANT DISPLAY, The Brutality of the Foreman of a California Mine Davie Will Case Again In Court. Five large ships will load grain at San Diego tills season. The total valuation of the estate of W fi.Ladd, who died at Portland sometime ago, is7,6t)0,858.-, The Atlantic and Pacific railwav is su ing the Preecott and Arizona Central for 2o,Uw lor nee ol material. Portions of Southeastern Oregon are aid to have been devastated by grass- noppers ana crickets wis summer. Stockton ie willing to contribute (100. 000 and the right of way into the city if it can be assured ot a competing rail' road in the San Joaquin Valley. Judge Koss at Los Angeles has over ruled the demurrer in the rase of the Southern Pacific vs. Juana C. Araiza, in volving a large amount of railroad lands. The famous Davis will case is again up before the Butte (Jlont.) courts. It iB thought the Root contestants and the heirs of John Davis will divide the es tate between them. The San Diego Union says: Several Easts new to thiB part of the country ave latley been discovered by Horti cultural Commissioner Gunnis, among which are the black aphis, the woolly aphis, the Norfolk Island pine scale and the Telranychusa maculatas, commonly known as the six -spotted nute. Some of the above have never before been knownwest of the Bock Mountains. John McLaughlin, foreman of the Providence mine at Nevada City, Cal beat Charles Knnge over the head with a two-pound weight, and fractured his skull. This enraged the miners, and after McLaughlin was released by the court on a bail of 15,000 he had to be es corted by officials to his hotel, a crowd following and shouting to " hang him." If there had been a leader among these men, it is believed McLaughlin would have been strung up. Twenty-seven canneries arc packing salmon on theFraser river this year, and 1,325 boats are at work. Sockeye salmon, which is the only variety packed there in large quatitiea, are running now in immense numbers, the average take by steady fishermen being 1,U00 for twelve hours. The run has never been better than at present, and the canner ies cannot get away with the quantity of fish supplied them, though some of them are packing 1,500 cases daily. Recently hull were so plentiful that 5 cents each was the price asked by many fishermen ; but, owing to the great supply, numbers were unable to sell. If the run contin ues ten days longer, as it doubtless will, the pack will aggregate fully '450,000 cases, the largest ever put up on the Fraser river, while some canners expect the pack to run over 500,000 cases. Every packing establishment has made preparations to pack to their full capac ity, and will Jill every can. The following item is from a recent issue ofthe World's Columbian Illus trated, the official organ of the exposi tion; "Oregon has adopted a unique and practical method of displaying the woods produced in that State. At Jack son Park there is a house constructed entirely of Oregon woods. It is ten feet square and nineteen feet high, and is surmounted by an open cuiwla. The body of the structure ie a yellow pine. The roof is of red-cedar shingles, and ie supported by four Doric columns. The columns are of maple, and are very rich ly carved. The roof of the cupola is supported by four small Doric columns of carved oak. The interior is finished with panel work containing about all the woods of the State, among which are nianznnita, madrone, yew, laurel, myr tle, ash, maple, oak, spruce, balm, iir, sugar pine, bird's-eye pine, cherry, curly maple and alder. The house forms the Oregon pavilion in the forestry building." Here is another high compliment in a recent editorial correspundence to the 8t. Joseph (Mo.) Herald: "Adjoining the exhibits of Missouri in both the hor ticultural and agricultural buildings are the displays of Oregon, the Legislature of which State appropriated a scant JGO, 000 in all for the purpose of properly representing the State's resources and industries at the World's Fair. The con trast between the two displaysissogreat as to put all Missonrians to shame. In the Oregon booth in the horticultural building over sixty varieties of apples re shown fresh and beautiful on plates, while there are countless jars and boxes of peaches, plums, prunes, etc., so ar ranged as to demand the attention of all who pass. Visitors rush through the dusty Missouri space to get into the Or egon booth and admire the products of the far Western State as arranged so captivatingly. The same is true of the agricultural exhibits. While the-Mis-eouri pavilion is more favorably located it does not command one visitor, while dozens visit Oregon and inspect her honest exhibits of grain and grasses and the general product of the farm, Her wheat is shown in two-bushel sacks, and all who wish to examine it have only to delve into the sacks and try a handful." CHICAGO EXPOSITION. The duilj- coat of operating the World'B Columbian Exposition is $U!,000. A straw hat, plaited entirely by Queen Victoria, has been sent to Chicago for exhibition. Missouri will have eight bonis of thor oughbred cattle of the different breeds at the World's Fair. French and English newspapers now publish exhaustive correspondence from the World's Fair ; some of it very amusing- Arrangcment&have been made for ex cursions of colored people from the South to the World's Fair, and it is expected that 250,000 will thus be added to the attendance. , The Boston Journal opened up a cou pon contest for ladies to go to the World's Fair. Miss Lizzie Borden received the highest vote, 100,000, but declined to ac cept, and the next highest was awarded the prize. One of India's potentates, the Mahar ajah of Kapurthala, has reached Chi cago, accompanied by one of his wives and hiB retinue. The Maharajah has come to see the fair, and will stay until he has "done" the exposition thor oughly. At the present rate the total attend ance at the World's Fair for the six months it is open will bo 25,000,000. But the estimate was for a total of 35,000, 000. The best months are yet to come, and perhaps the higher figures will be reached. The picture, " lit Mv Studio." in the German section of (he art exhibits at i Chicago has been slashed with a knife. The painting is by Kahler, who, it iB thought, had the piatnre cut so as to at tract attention. Artists think the in- jury can be repaired with little trouble. The bonds of the World's Fair offl-' cials, found guilty recently by Judge Stein of contempt of court in violating the Clingraan injunction by closing the i fair to the public Sunday, July 23, have been filed, thereby suspending proceed ings nendintt the action of the Annellate Court. The case in which the parties . are held to answer cannot take prece-1 denceon the Appellate Court calendar, and at the earliest possible time will not be called before the end of next Octo-, ber. Anthonv Comstock is in Chicaso. He called on President Higinbotham, and announced that he had come from New i ork to lead a crusade against the danc- i ing girls on the Midwav. Mr. Comstock had evidently investigated the places. As he went out he dropped a catalogue of the Midwav. On the margins of the leaves crosses and stars had been made. showing that he had visited the theaters of the giddy Persian dancers and the duskv Algerians. Mr. Conmtnr.fc will call on President Higinbotham again ' anu maxe anotner protest against the dancehouses. Failing to have them sup pressed ny otnciais ot the lair, lie will probably appeal to the city authorities. Chief Buchanan in charge of the stock exhibit at the World's Fair has an nounced the result of the cheese contest, which has been in progress there several weeks. The test was pronounced most complete, meet carefully conducted and me most tnorougn ever made. The con test was between twenty-five cows of Jersev. Guernsey and Shorthorn hi-peris each. The result is as follows, being a decided victory for the Jerseys : Milk in niteen days Jerseys, 13,2"B pounds; Guernseys, 10,938 pounds; Shorthorns, 12.188 pounds. Cheese made Jerseys, 1.461 pounds; Gttemieys, 1,150 pounds; Shorthorns, 1,077 pounds. Value of cheese Jerscvs, I1V3.V8; Guerneevs, 136.92; Shorthorns, $140.14. Value 'of whey Jerseys, 19.28; Guernseys, $7.73; Shorthorns, 18.67. Increase in live weight Jerseys, 14.72 pounds: Guern seys, 27.60 pounds; Shorthorns, 31.91 pounds. Total values Jer8evs,t2l7.9fi; Guernseys, $184.55; Shorthorns, 190.38. Net profit in fifteen days Jerseys, $119.82; Guernseys, $88.30; Bhorthorns, 81.36. . FROM WASHINGTON CITY. Further instructions in regard to the acceptance of Chinese certificates have been issued to the. Collector of the port of New York. The order calls for the detention of Chinese upon the vessels bringing them to this country until the Consular certificates are fully investi gated and until the bearers are fully identified ; in fact, until there is not the slightest doubt as to their right to enter tne united states. That a desperate fight is to be made to repeal the Geary Chinese exclnsion act during the extra or regular session of Congress is no longer doubted by those interested in Washington. While Rep resentative Geary claims to have learned nothing definite as to the administra tion's attitude toward the law, he ac knowledges that it would not surprise him if there were a mighty effort made Dy tne enemies oi tue mil to either re peal it in Congress or originate some other plan to nullify it. Mr. Geary) wouiu neimer amrm nor ueny tne report mat tne unineae nix tympanies had levied another assessment on all Celes tials in the country to raise it corruption fund to lobby through its repeal at the coming session. He did say, however: " It is possible that the'Six Companies will not be able to collect the $5 per head nu.,.,nnt 1,A.,A 1 .1.. icvrcu. vuiiinHicu aun very iiiucii uis- pleased over the ill success of the Six Companies in expending the last money they paid to prevent the passage of the law or to have the fight made against its constitutionality in the Supreme Court. There is a possibility, howover, that these Mongolians may come up smiling again with the money asked for. I don't know what Kind ol a tight I may have to make provided I ad other advocates of the law are again called upon to as sert pur rights." It iB believed that Geary has received a tip from some ad ministration official that the administra tion will not act in any direction until after the arrival of the new Chinese Minister. , EASTERN MELANGE.
