Endersby Notes.

The May day picnic at the Campbell
grove was grand success. The morn
ing opened with light showers of rain,
which no. doubt kept many from coming.
Notwithstanding the heavy threatening
clouds which hoated over the horizon,
sending forth at frequent intervals
showers of earth's delight, which was
no doubt gladness to the growing grain.
At the early hour of o'clock could be
seen carriages, men women and children
on horseback, vending their way to the
Campbell grove, where everything was
in readiness for a big time. Soon was
heard the familiar cry of "Ice cream
and lemonade, stirred up with spade >"
also the cry of the photograph man,
with the hose attachments to fit the ear,
whispering the song or lecture spoken
weeks before without disturbing the
peace and quiet of those around, for the
small sum of cents.
Eleven o'clock having arrived, we
looked around to see all the vacant seats
occupied, with groups of smiling faces
standing or reclining near by, and bands
of gaily dressed children scampering to
and fro, indicating by their movements
they were most interested. It was May
day; lets crown the queen. Soon we see
the genial face of Mr.. Brigham of Dufur,
who is escorted to the platform by the
Harmony class, where there are in wait
ing to the left the three young ladies,
dressed in white, who are to do honor to
the occasion. A song by the Harmony
class, Merry May" and neat and ap-
propriate speech for the occasion by the
speaker, the three young ladies in
white arose and stepped to the front
of the platform, the maids of honor Miss
Cora Wingfeld on the left, and Miss
Myrtle Patterson on the right, with a
beautiful garland of flowers they crowned
Miss Daisy Davidson queen of the May,
who recited with her usual style and
gesture, ssThe Frozen North to Southern
Climes." holding the vast audience en-
raptured during the recitation. Con-
graduated by their friends and admired
by all, those three will not soon forget
the picnic in the Campbell grove.
And now for the baskets and boxes
filed with good things. It looked as if
all intended to stay a week, each bring
ing enough for themselves and friends,
SO there was plenty to eat and to spare.
The day being fine the afternoon was
spent in laughable games until the even
| ing, when we found they had not only
come for the picnic but the grand con-
cert at night. Long before the time for
opening the crowd wanted admittance.
Only by the sweet strains of the Dufur
band was the crowd kept out until the
time for opening. We will simply say
we had not the room to hold all that
wanted admittance. The windows were
/ thrown open and all that could squeeze
their heads in did 30, to get glimpse OF
what was going on. The program being
long and the hall and ante rooms
crowded, half past ten found us not near
through, so we had to close with several
pieces left. The receipts for the evening
were much larger than expected.

For the better convenience of the
people, Prof. EdwardsS the great horse
tanner, will give his exhibition in tam
ing and handling wild horses, Saturday
afternoon, May 4th, in the building on
3rd street, between Federal and Laughlin
hibited, and not as previously announced
at the fair grounds.

Gently delivered by him at the William
cite University medical commencement.
The lecture will take place Friday even
ing at O'Clock, in the Congregational
church. Everyone is cordially invited to
attend. Special music will be on the
program. No admission will be charged
nor collection taken.
Some of our young gentlemen are ad-
vocating the forming of base ball club,
and to 'start the ball" will meet tomor-
row evening at O'Clock at the council
chambers to discuss the matter. The
Dalles has some excellent material for a
ball club and should by all means or
ganize. 1t is fine athletic sport, the
national game, and should not be al
lowed to fall into decay.
Mr.. Samuel A. Lester of Mitchell,
Crook county, was married at Condor
Monday, April 29th, to Miss Lizzie
Sherrard of Sumner. Coos county. Mr..
Lester was formerly clerk at the Warm
Springs, and is bright, energetic and
clever gentleman. We have not the
pleasure of knowing Mrs. Lester, but
congratulate her on having won a man
worthy of her, though she were queen.
The Herrick cannery made another
small run today, putting up about fifty
cases. Quite number of our citizens
visited the cannery, and were all pleased
with the completeness of the plant.
The run is still light, but if there is even
a moderate run the cannery will have all
the fish it can handle, but Mr.. Herrick is
confidant that he can easily handle all
that can be caught by running at night
as by doing SO he can put up 1900 cases
in twenty-four hours.
The o. <. T. concert last night was q
genuine treat, the only fault that we
have heard found with it being the
shortness of the program. The music is
the very pest and the wonder is how
such genuine talent can be retained by q
single business firm, and used to adver-
tise it's business. 1t is pretty positive
proof that advertising pays, and the
beauty Of this peculiar kind is that it pays
those who take it in. The o. K. T. com.
pany is Incompatible. Go and heal
them.

There are at present SIX factories in
this country manufacturing sugar from
beets. Three of these are located in
California, two in Nebraska and the re-
naming one in Utah. A plant has been
located in Virginia, but has never been
operated on the same scale as the others.
The largest of these factories is the one
at Watsonville, CAL, which has cap
acity of about l GOO tons of beets per day.
The Chino factory consumes eight hum
dred tons. It was enlarged during the
past season and now, perhaps, equals
that at Watsonville. The other factories
each average about eight hundred tons
daily.

A JAPANESE CONTENTION.
It Narrowly Escaped PIungIng Us Into nm
Oriental War.

It Narrowly Escaped PIunging Us Into an
Oriental War.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-In the event
Of war between Russia and Japan the
United States may find itself an unwill.
ing party unless the Japanese retreat
from position which they assumed
towards the United States during the
progress OF the last war with China. 1t
is not generally known that just before
the declaration of the armistico which
preceded the signature of the treaty Of
peace and issue had grown up between
the United ates and Japan that threat
ened to lead to actual hostilities between
the two oountrieS and that hostile clash
was perhaps only averted by the oonolu-
sion of the Chinese war.
This issue arose through the assertion
by the Japanese authorities Of the right
of search of American vessels, They in
sisted that they had the right to board an
American vessel, and II they chose to take
from her any Chinese or any enemy they
might find, even though they were but
passengers, Minister Dun very promptly
denied the existence of any such right on
the part of u combatant, and a hot cor
respondence ensued The Japanese in
sisted on their right, and even when Mr..
Dun remiI led them that the United
States had ne to war with Great Brit
ain on just this issue, and had forced the
abandonment Of any claim to such right,
they refused TO nbate their pretensions
one jot, though the minister intimated
that the first assertion of such a right
would be regarded by the United Statea
Rs an unfrlendly act, and therefore likely
to lead to war.
The matter progressed to that perllous
state that when Admiral Carpenter was
about to escort an American merchant
steamship out of Japanese port, to pre-
vent her detention by the Japanese, the
latter, 1t is said gave orders to the shore
batteries at the mouth of the harbor to
fire upon the American naval vessels II
they attempted to do so. This fact came
out after the conclusion of tho armistice,
which fortunately occurred at Just this
point in the negotiations, thereby pre-
vomiting an incident that would certainly
have led to war. The Japanese have
steadily cluns to the same contention,
promising serious trouble In the event Of
another war In the east.

CHARLES DENBY.
scene Of the trouble 1t is pointed out that,
owing to tho meager means of communi-
cation existing in the province and the
equally poor facilities for transportation,
the relief party had made most excellent
progress, more rapid even than might
naturally have been> expected. That ID
did so, these officials say, is proof addi-
tional to that furnished by the develop
ments in the matter of the outrages at
Chengfu some weeks ago that the minis
tor is especially vigilant and active In
looking after the interests Of his country
men in China, and protecting them to the
utmost extent Of the means within his
power.
Consul General Jernigan has taken q
great deal Of interest in the recent trou-
bles, and has sent several dispatches to
the state department giving information
and making suggestions for the protoc-
tion of Americans. 1t Is the impression
among some officials that the consuls,
without being fully aware of the situa-
tion, have asked for troops from the war
ships where 1t would be impracticable for
vessels to go.
The state department. has not called
upon the navy for any ship or force to
land and proceed into the interior. Min
lbber DonDy mas auuHOrlUy 10 call upon
Admiral Carpenter for United States
forces, and under his Instructions the
admiral Is bound to furnish. them. Both
state and navy departments believe that
the United States representatives on the
ground, clothed with ample powers, are
better able to act for the best than tho1e
Lere in Washington.
Acting Secretary McAdoo said todny
that he could give Admiral Carpenter no
instructions, especially as Minister DENLY
had not asked that anything be done. As
to the suggestion that the admiral should
send a force in boats, he said that the min
lister and admiral were better able to know
whether such a course was wise. 1t might
be sacrifice Of men TO send them several
hundred miles into the interior. Tho
British government had more cause for
making a demonstration than the United
States government, and yet no English
force had been sent to the scone of trouble.
Mr.. MoAdoo said that ap order from him
to Admiral Carpenter might wholly in
tcrfere with plans or operations the COM
mander had in Wow or under way.
