George IL. Allen, general manager Of
the Hongkong aud New York Furniture
company, recently went 10 Manila to
establish large furniture aud cabinet
making factory, 10 employ 800 or 400
people. The intention was 10 employ
cheap Oriental labor for tho conversion
Of mahogany and other Philippine
woods into furniture, from which large
profits were expected. A sto was se-
cured in Manila and arrangements made
for starting the factory. Aliens inves-
legations into the Philippine labor sup
ply were 30 discouraging, however, that
he has since loft for Hongkong, and
Intends now 10 erect tho factory there.
He came 10 tho conclusion that tho
Filipinos could not DO rockoned on In
any industrial proposition because Of
their worthlossness ms laborors aud es-
pocially as skilled mechanics. Allen
says: "In all my experience. the Flip
ino is tho poorest specimen ~ labor
proposition have ever seen. Between
fiestas and general laziness, he may be
regarded as degenerate. All he seems
TO care for is 10 exist, 10 have his little
plot Of ground, his fighting cock aud
his family around him. That Is why
we are going to locate ia Hongkong
instead OF Manila.

Good Words for Oreaon.

DIR. J. II. Kessler, who few weeks

boundaries, he thought they were do.
ing so only to get their names in print
or to say something nice about their
home, but he has now, through actual ex.
perience, learned that Oregon is fully
what it is Cracked" up to be. Says he /:
"Since leaving Portland, have travel
ed through California, Colorado, Ari-
zona, New Mexico, Kansas and Texas,
and must say to the Oregonians that
they do not know what great state they
live 10 until they have seen other parts
OF the country. If they could see parts
that haye seen on my present trip, they
would never again complain about the
rains and the weather.
Leaving the Navajo desert and roll
ing into the vast prairies OF Arizona and
New Mexico, the traveller enters beauti-
ful sections Of country, but so dry, hot
and dusty that it is most unbearable,
especially so this year. Drought has
d one great damage. Millions Of acres
OF pasture lie burned from the parching
sun, and the thought just struck me
what fertile lands these would be il the
rains OF Oregon could but be duplicated
there.
The laboring men OF the Northwest
can also feel glad OF their condition
when they get 81 day. Here they are
paid 81 per day and sl5 per month on
the farms and ranches. Contemplating
brings about the same remuneration as
hop-picking in Oregon. The cotton
crop appears to be very good this year,
and from what observations have made
along the railroad, there is plenty OF
money in circulation in the South this
season. Texas is raising rice on the
Lower Colorado River. and am told
that some growers cleared as much as
$1,000 an acre this year"

or sliding rocks. By this means it was
possible to reach the tunnel site, where
a platform was constructed on the side
of the cliff by means OF posts set in
inches in the rock, and this structure,
rooted over, now serves as a blacksmith

the little building seems to be sticking
to the side OF the wall like some monster
fly.
The tunnel is being bored through the
rim Of solid rock between the new
canyon and the old, the latter OF course,
being filed up with slide rock. The
solid rock is intensely hard, making
progress slow and difficult, but these
conditions will prevail only until the
solid rock is passed. When the tunnel
breaks through into the slide rock o.
the former canyon, the work will
progress much more rapidly. TIE
length Of the tunnel will probably be
something more than 1000 feet, of which
over 100 feet is now completed. The
tunnel is about seven feet In height by
FIVE in width and has a grade OF about
10 inches to the rod in anticipation d
its being used as sluiceway. When
gravel is reached, il the channel il

derstood for what they are, and can
not be truthfully classed as "shoddy."
The intent OF the measure Is two
fold; the encouragement and extension
and profit Of the wool growing and
manufacturing industries ana the pro-
lection OF the public from imposition
The motive is good, undoubtedly. but
the whole bill is Weakened and It's pur-
pose injured by the improper definition
given to the word "shoddy.' Every
reference. to II Is, 'as defined In this
act The proper meaning is thus per-
verified and should not be applied to the
provisions of this intended legislation.
The association invites suggestions
IN regard TO the bill before 1t is pre-
sented to Congress. The Deseret News
offers these criticisms, with the sug-
gestlon that the measure be modified
throughout so as to designate "shod-
dy' properly and to require fabrics not
composed entirely OF wool TO be labeled
or tagged with truthful statement
Of their contents. Such measure
would be much more likely to pass than
the bill in its present form, AS It now
stands It would be, in our opinion,
violently and reasonably fought by
both manufacturers and dealers in ar
ticles OF mixed manufacture, and by
congressman who understand the
meaning OF words and the nature Of
fabrics.

line, that around Lake Balkal is yet to

there on large ferry beats, distance
Of forty miles.
The Siberian railroad, is an enterprise

deal of interest throughout the world.

A REPORTED GIFT.

A special to the Tribune from Madi-
son. wisconsin. gives particulars Of an
alleged gift to the Historical Society OF
that State by former Salt Lake attor-
ney who had a sort Of mania for the
collection Of anti-"Mormon" literature
II is stated that he has made a present
to that society Of this valuable 90 IL
brary. This Is somewhat surprising, In
view of the fact that the owner valued
II at $4,000, for which sum It could
have been secured by the Mormon
authorities II It had any such value or
approximate worth in their estimation
II seems little doubtful that he would
give It away, considering his need Of
money and the price which he placed
upon II here.
The matter is OF small concern, but
what the collection has 10 do with the
history OF Wisconsin is not easily dis
cernlble. "Mormonism' did not origln-
ate In that State nor has It figured
very largely in any way within Its bor-
ders Few Of the books are worthy Of
preservation. Apart from the copies OF
genuine Mormon" publications. there
are scarcely any which are even re-
motely reliable. The stuff they contain
Is chiefly 0 rehnsh of exploded stories,
framed during the first years Of the
rice Of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints, and the monstrous
tales told about Mormon massacres
and murders and atrocities that might
have been written by Baron Munohau-
sen To use vulgar term, they are
principally the yeriest rot"
The gatherer Of this mess Of myth
and mummery, truth distorted and
falsehood rampant. peryersion of
Mormon" doctrine and attacks upon
Mormon" leaders, is an avowed athe-
ist who rldicules all religion and re-
CARDS It's professors either as knaves
or fools, yet some very pious sectarian
ministers who ilsht "Mormonlsm' with
III concealed malice and disregard Of
truth, have awaited themselves OF his
assistance, in mlsrepresenting our faith
and llbeling its promoters. II he has
really made free gift OF his collection
OF monstrosties to the Wisconsin His
torical Society, It is certainly because
he could find no dumping ground for II
which would give him financial COM
pensation for his labors of several
years.
Any library that receives these rak-
ings from the rubbish Of defunct liter
allure. will place upon its shelves many
volumes Of worthless pabulum for alb
formal appetltes. But II the genuine
publications of Mormon" authors also
find place there, some good VIII prob
ably accrue from the collection,
through the contrast that win be al
forled by comparison between Nor
mon truth and anti Mormon fiction.

regard to this reported presentation.

Lord Rosebery Is anxious to see the
experiment tried Of having government
run by business men. He asks II the
people get their moneys worth for the
money spent on government. II is very
doubtful II they do, and they are be-
ginning to think that the old answer,
that they get their moneys worth in
the protection afforded life and prop
erty is somewhat Of a humbug. No one
can expect monetary return on what
he pays In the shape OF taxes, and II
he does he has false notion OF what
government liz instituted for Govern
ment grows more expensive every year,
but Is there a relative betterment? To
the extent that there Is an increase OF
expense without corresponding return
In betterment Of government to that
extent government is failure as any
other business u.s. The question that
Lord Rosebery asks is one that people
everywhere are asking. AS yet no one
has answered It definitely and salts
factorily.
