Reliable News From China.

Martin Egan, the we'll known cores
nondent OF the San Francisco "Chroni-
cle," returned from China on the U. s.
transport Thomas, Saturday. He has
been acting as staff correspondent aud
has the following to say regarding re-
cent events in China.
The 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 Britain, the
good and true friend of China disclaim-
ing any intent to make war on the
Chinese and moved only by the worthy
plan OF rescuing her ministers, turned
ner Indian thieves loose and they looted
and pillaged until they siekened OF the
game themselves. Stolen property,
valued at many million OF silver dollsrs,
was sod 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 sus-
pected of completely in the anti-foreign
movement.
The Germans set up courts and shot
scores and scores Of men upon charges
OF being in the Boxer movement or con-
cerned in the anti.foreign crusade. The
treatment Of the Chinese everywhere
was ,inconceivably brutal. There were
murder, robbery and rape until the
heart sickened OF it all. Mind you, this
was all done by the armies OF Christian
nations seeking to show the poor pagan
the right way. | am proud that the
hands Of the American soldiers are clean
They did some looting, but despite the
example and the opportunity they were
not carried off their feet, and once the
confusion 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. 0ur
army will come out OF China with credit
to us all. 1t was not the best disciplined
force there, for the American can hardly
be trained down to absolute discipline
but in the matter Of fighting in showed
superior to most others and was second
To none.

Cities Of OREGON.

The census bureau gives out the fol-
lowing figures concerning the popula-
ton of Oregon towns OF more than 1000
and less than $1,000 population. 1t 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 5 1000.
These returns show Baker City to
have made the most phenomenal in
crease. After Baker City, Grants Pass
and Ashland show the largest percent
age Of increase, about 30 per cent in the
10 years. The figures show Eugene and
Salem to have receded, which hardly
appears possible in consideration Of
the great increase OF population in the
state: >

Letter From Charlton Perkins.


CALAMBA. p. |. Oct. I, 1900.
At one time it was fascinating past
time for me to write letters and my
mind was constantly filled with thoughts
which could translate on paper with
assurance that it would be OF interest to
the receiver, but that time has passed.
| now find it task TO sit down aud
write letter. Perhaps 1t is caused by
my long separation from friends aud the
world has drifted us apart so that have
nothing Of interest TO write, for have
lost the course of their ideas and
thoughts, therefore | 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.

any length OF time becomes a native in

two things here that are what you wonld
call good. They are the mango and a
select species OF the banana which grows
in small quantities through the islands
but should the fruits and vegetabl es
receive cultivation, the best or at least
