STATE DESERT BOARD IS
DIVIDED ON CENTRAL PLAN
nitlTBD PHI 88 lUltD WlBl
Possibilities of a division on the Stato
Desert Land board with relation to the
state taking over and reclaiming with
the asistance of the government a unit
of the Central Oregon Irrigation Project
have been disclosed. There are 34,000
acres in the Unit, and the company
offers to relinquish it for $300,000. An
additional $150,000 will be required to
complete it. Stato Treasurer Kay de
clared that with the present high taxes
he did not regard the scheme as feasible
and Secrotary of State Olcott, and At
torney General Crawford seemed to
Bhare hia view. Governor West and
State Engineer Lewis regarded it as
feasible. The question of taking over
the unit will be decided at the next
meeting. All the board could do at
the present would be to recommend that
the interior department and legislature
appropriate money to reclaim the lands
in the unit.

By The Rev. 0. T. Aked, D. D., LL. D
China continues to surprise us. Newi
hag just been received that the govern
ment of a great province in the inter
ior of China has asked an American mis
sionary society to take entire charge
of the public school system of a laro
section of the country. Shansi is the
name of the province. It was here that
so many American missionaries were
murdered during the Boxer rising iu
1900. Within the last few weeks
the provincial government has made thi.
amazing request of the representatives
of the American Board of Foreign Mis
slons. The government offers to fur
nish the schoolhouses and to equip them.
The government guarantees a certa.n
yearly cash subsidy. It guarantees, as
well, full religious liberty. The Bible
and the Christian religion may be
taught in the schools.
Such a story seems Incredible. It goes
far out beyond our dreams. But it is
perfectly true. The information comes
direct from the authorities of the mis
sionary board concerned.
The "Memoirs of Li Hung Chang '
have recontly been published. They
have the interest of an absorbing drama.
The glamor of romance is over them.
Two men in history would have de
lighted in them, Shakespeare and Rob
ert Browning. The play of characto,
the development of a great mind, its
emergency into imperial conditions, and
its influence in world-business woull
hftve delighted the soul of either if
these two supreme students of human
nature.
The editor of these "Memoirs" U
an American newspaper man who was
privileged to interview the Chinese
statesman and convey to the world his
sence of obligation to the American
people. He prints as introduction to the
"Memoirs" a sketch of Li Hung Chang
contributed by anothor pen.
With pardonable hero-worship this
writer speaks of Li Hung Chang as not
only the greatest man the Chinese race
has produced in modorn times, but, in
a combination of qualities, the most
uniquo personality of the past contury
amongall the nations of the world.
And he proceeds to explain this ex
traordinary oulogy.
Li Hung Chang was a soldier, scholar,
statesman and diplomat and in each
capacity 'one of the world's mastors.
"He was distinguished as a man of lot
tors: as a soldier , in important cam
paigns he rendered valuable services to
his country: as a statesman for thirty
years he maintained a recognized pre
eminence over his countrymen in the
oldest and most populous nation of the
earth; and as a diplomat his achieve
ments entitle him to a front rank in the
international relations of all history.
The editor of the "Memoirs'" does
well to bring into prominence the friend
ship displayed by tho United States for
China in the day of her trouble, and the
abiding gratitude of Li Hung Chang.
"All the foreign nations are against
us," tho statesman writes at one time.
"Ko, there is an exception, and tho ex
ception may prove our salvation." Tho
exception of courso, is the United Slate?.
The powers had docrecd the partition
of China, what Li Hung Chang describ
ed as "slicing up China like a water
melon," America held out agaiiiBt any
such cynical policy. The European
nations might think first of plunder.
The United States thought first of jus
tico. "I have received assurance from
tho American commander," ho writes,
"and from tho Washington Govern
ment that the United States will oppose
morally, and physically if necessary,
tho pnrtition of China." And Inter, in
joy over the delivoraneo of his country
from the threatened disruption, and In
gratitude; "Tho position taken by the
American nation means tho integrity
of China. Tho United States has woi
over the othor powers to her way of
thi. king."
The volume is a gold mine of inform
ation and of interest. There are hun
dreds of paragraphs one woul"d love to
quote. The editor says truly that
amongst them all nothing is moro enter
tuinii.g than tho great man's views con
cerning Christians and Christianity,
First of all, while still a young man
of twenty-six, having taken his li. A.
degree and at the moment studying for
his LL. D., he conceives that it would
be " noble and glorious career, high
ly pleasing to the sacred gods and his
ancestors," to expose the teaching of
the "foreign devils," and refute thoir
"sacriligious utterances." He is sat
isfied that the foreign devils come to
the country for no good purpose. H)
bo'itves that every one of the black
vobed individuals is "the paid agent
of some foreign power," only present
in the country to spy upon its govern
ment! Of the teaching of the "foreign dev
ils" he cannot speak in terms of con
tempt sufficiently contemptuous. Ho
understands that it is a part of thoir
teaching that "the Heavenly Father
allowed His Son to come to earth to die
for wicked people," to him this Is pal
pably absurd. He could understand it
if it were said that He 'died for good
people. But "if the gods are good
and want men to be good, will they al
low members of their families to bo
killed like criminals for the sake cf
criminals!" And he is satisfied that
"the crazy fad" will die out!
We road on. Twenty-one years later
he has become a great general and
a great statesman. His mind has been
growing all the time. His eyos have
opened to a thousand facts. In 1370 ae
writes:
"It cannot be said, even by my worst
foos, that 1 have been a bosom friend
to the foreigner, either the man that
comes to force his trade upon us, or the
fellow who would cram his religion
down our throats . . . yet in spite of
all our dislikes, if we truly have the
best interests of China at hoart, we
will no longer oppose the coming of the
foreigner, whether he be trader, mis
sionary, or tourist."
He is ready for toleration: "When
last I saw Tseng-kofan we spent several
hours in full discusion of this great
problem . . . Tson-kofan, like my
self has changed his views exceedingly
in the past five or six years, and is no
longer a tater of the Christians. H?
told mo that it was his intention some
of these days to memorialize tho throuo
to issu.i an edict of complete tolerance
for ull foreigners of whatever profoB'
sion r occupation, and I told him that
I would gladly join in Buch a memorial
if he would so desire."
His latest recorded views were written
in 1883. Whether he ever went boyon.l
tho position reached at that time there
is no evidence to show. But the ground
then taken is simply marvelous, lie
contluik-s that there is no reason for
hating ClnistiniiB. Devoted as ho is,
mind and spirit, but sentiment, and by
reason, to the teachings of Confucius, he
is now ready to place Jesus Christ on
tho same exhnlted level as thnt of
China's hero-sago. He affirms that in
America cr Kuropo he would be a fol
lower of Johub, as iu Chinji he follows
Coufusius, Ho say that even iu China
there are thousands, perhaps millions,
of his coin trymen who would bo the bo
tor ."or Christianity. He declares that
ho must never again bo thought of as
unfri wi lly to the people of tho west,
whether 1 hey coino to China as merch
ants or misionnries, or whether they
do not come at all. And, finally, that
it is time ( hina China from the south
to the north recognizes that some
Christians nro better than some Taoista
and some followers of Buddha.
The missionaries who poured the blood
out for China and for Christ did not dii
in vain.
