judgment requiring the Haitian to pay
81 a week into court was given, and
the trader was to send messenger
every week to the magistrate for the
money. In due time he sent for the
first installment and was informed
that the Haitian had not paid up. but
that he should be thrown into prison
for his failure.
Three weeks passed with the same
result. One morning the Haitian came
to the traders store. He was, he said.
poor man, much married. a man to
good, he asked, would accrue to the
trader IL he, the poor man, was thrown
into prison? Let the trader forgive
him his debt and earn thereby untold
rewards in future state.
After some talk the trader gave him
letter of remission, which he went of
to present to the magistrate. The af-

struck by the bad grace with which
the magistrate dismissed him. and he

asked him If he had received the 50 he

Accordingly, he went OF to the courI

was OF the old -four post variety, and
an unusually massive specimen at that.

Eventually a compromise was effected.
The bedstead was taken TO pieces. and

DISPATCHES ALL CONTRADICTORY
An Error Reported I'm Consul Warrens
ressage-Nankin now Threaten
ed-Troops are Pouring in.

London, July 9.-The foreign
consuls at Shanghai met on July
z and officially announced that
the legations at Pekin were safe
on July 4. The foregoing state
ment read with Consul Warren's
dlsr"tch to the foreign Office on
Saturday makes it possible to
believe that the legations will
hold out for number of days
yet. Having fought to a stand.
still the first outburst Of fanati.
cal fury, it is believed that some.
thing may intervene to save
them. The news, after the
sinister runors Of the last ten
days. Is enough upon which to
build hopes.
The Shanghai CORES pondent
of the Express, telegraphing on
Sunday, at $40 p. m, however,
throws doubt upon Consul War
ren s Information. He says:
"Tao Tai Shang now admits
that there was an error in his
communication to Gen. Warren.
The date of the courier's arrival
at Gilman Flu was July 3, whicn
does not apply to his department
from Pekin. The journey from
Pekin to Gilman Flu occupies five
days. The courier, therefore,
could not have left Pekin later
than June %. The date of the
massacre there, as given by
Chinese reports, was June 80 or
July /.
Tien Tsin is still hard pressed.
A Chinese force numbering from
5000 to 10000 men, as estimated
by inconclusive reconnaissance,
holds the country aoout Tien
Tsin, between which place and
Taku communication is appar-
emily possible by river only.
A Chez Foo dispatch to the
Express says the Russians have
landed 5000 men at Taku, and
the Japanese discharged several
transports. The Japanese push.
ed on to Tien Tsin, leading in the
assault upon the native city, in
which their commander was kill.
ed. Ten more transports arc
being loaded at Japanese ports.
With the 10000 British India
troops ahoat and fresh Japanese
contingents it is quite probable
that the allies soon will have so,

A SPLENDID INDUSTRY
Hulin Fruit Evaporation Makes
A Big Market.
Handles Easily About Fifteen Tons
Daily of Green Fruits and
Running Full Time.

With the erection and successful oper-
alton of the large fruit and vegetable
evapOrating plant of Hulin Bros, Col
fax and all surrounding country has
secured an industry of which it may
we'll be proud. 1t means much to the
owners of prune orchards, of which
there are many acres within reaching
distance of Colfax. Heretofore there
has been no market for the hundreds of
tons of green fruit, and it has conse-
quently rotted on the ground. Now all
this is changed. The big evaporation
handles about Is tons of green fruit
each "a hours, and has now been in sue
cessful operation almost 80 days. The
supply has been immense, and is still
coming. little but Italian prunes having
yet been handled. One carload has been
received from Hooper, and prunes are
being hauled in wagons from all points
along Snake river, from Wawawai to
Penawawa, as we'll as from the near by
orchards.
There are about Is employees in the
dry house. The expense of operating is
about $50 day, but it is a still greater
factor in furnishing employment, as it
gives many work in the orchards and as
teamsters. At least SIS or 500 day
are scattered through it's agency outside
Of the price received by the owners. The
drying is done ION halves" The entire
product is contracted for by Portland
firm OF shippers, so the market is sure
at fair price.
The plant is of the Stevens patent
doing excellent work, and is under t
direct supervision of F. NJ. and C. =
Curtis, brothers, of long experience in
the business. At the close of the prune
season in two or three weeks apples, veg
etables, ETC., will be handled.

AS to Mcdonald.

Goodyear are reported to be peddline
out to small crowds over the county the
statement that the republicans are back
ing Judge Mcdonald in his abortive at
tempt to hold onto the office which he
has disgraced as such high positions sell
dom have been. The republican party
has always consistently fought Judge
Mcdonald, and, knowing his utter u6-
worthiness, will continue to do so as
long as he may aspire to public place
nigh above his worth. AS republican
paper, The Gazette may be included in
this assertion. 1t has never been cor
rupted by friendliness for Mcdonald. as
the CommOner has; it has never matted
him on the beck as the Commoner has

been occasion to criticize Mcdonald in

Such campaign prattle will certainly not
