ESTHNS CHINESE HIGHLY
UNITED STATES CONSUL SPEAKS
WELL OF THEM.
John Goodnow Says That san Francis
co Merchants Should Send Represent
atives to Secure Chinese Trade.

Consul General John Goodnow is re-
turning TO his post at Shanghai He is
on the Nippon Maru and is accompa-
MED by his wife. General Goodnow
does not hold the Chinese i'm the low es-
innate that many people i'm the States
do. He places the people of China i'm a
FAR more favorable light than the world
sees them. He said that the Chinese
like the United States better than they
DO any other foreign nation, and prefer
to deal with the Americans: that San
francisco is naturally at an advantage
IN the American trade with China: that
merchants should send their represent
atiVeS TO China to hustle for the trade:
that they must bear in mind that the
Chinese are the most particular of Gus
toners, and that the goods must be pre-
pared and packed just as the Chinese
order them; and the American firms
must not delay shipments, because it
requires nearly three months to get a
consignment, which is slower than the
deals with London.
He said that San Francisco needs
more steamers for the China trade. The
steamship companies from San Fran
cisco are the only Oriental lines from
any part of the world that are not sub
sidized by their Governments, and the
result is they are handicapped in COM
petition with aided rivals, which are
given bonus to run to fast schedule
with the mails, while the American
lines get but freight rates for carrying
the mails and find it convenient to tar
ry at different ports wherever there Is
a good cargo. He urged that efforts be
made to secure additional merchant
transports from San Francisco to Chi
ma.
Mr.. Goodnow also said that Califor-
mans must not think they know the
quality of the 4OOO0O,0OO of people in
China because they know the coolies
that go there from just one province.
He declared that Ii Hung Chang is as
great as any man in America today,
that Sheng, the Controller of Tele-
graphs, would rank with James j. Hill
or Pierpont Morgan. Sheng had risen
from the position of laborer in lumber
yard.

The cup is still with the Americans
the Columbia having defeated the
Shamrock II. This cup has remained
on the American side since 1851. The
London Spectator Of Aug. 30, 1851, has
the following to say OF that race: "On
OF one OF our great naval ports the ship
building OF England has been chal.
lenged by an alien vessel and defeated
totally. II is remarkable incident and
not satisfactory to the national pride.
We may find solace In the fact that IL
was due TO accident. Ever since that
time the English have attempted to
secure the trophy but without success.
This year success was due not 30 much
to the boat as to the skillful handling
by the Americans. Four times, II is
reported, the Shamrock had the race
won and four times those In charge
seemed TO throw away her golden
phanaa

trict under the management OF Miss

The Dryden school shows smaller en-.
rollment than usual.
From the descriptions oil Hugo and
Leland by Dick and Bob respectively,
one, that has never visited either city,
is inclined naturally TO believe that they
rank along with Portland. Dryden does
not fall in line with those places in ali
respects, but we have a good water
system; and well lighted streets two
weeks out Of every month.
Quite sensation was created on the
streets Of Dryden day or two ago, when
ProfEd Hathawsy's private convey ance
came saun.ering into town uncared for.
The horse had been well trained and the
bystanders in front OF the post Office
could not account for the strange incl

A special correspondent OF the New
York Herald gives the following account
Of the newsmatter which the telegraph
companies we're called upon to handle
in Buffalo in connection with the assas.
sination OF President Mckinley, and the
way in which it was handled: "Not less
than 600, 900 words were sent out Of
Buffalo in one day by the telegraph com.
panies in special dispatches in newspa.
J pers all over the world. These $50 900
words filled nearly FIVE hundred columns
II one newspaper had received all the
special reports sent out it would have
had about eighty .solid pages OF matter
concerning the President exclusive Of
illustrations and headlines. From all
available parts OF the country addi.
tional operators have been rushed TO
Buffalo. About one hundred and sew
enty-five operators have been at work
constantly for the last iorty.eight hours
and there is no sign OF diminution OF
tie volume Of business. Nearly every
newspaper OF importance in the United
States and several OF those published in
foreign countries, have staff reporters in
Buffalo, all OF whom have been for nearly
twenty -four hours II day keenly seeking
every fact OF interest in connection with
the Presidents assassination. 1t is q
conservative estimate to say that not less
than seventy five newspaper men from
other citiesiwere In Buffalo working on
the story OF the shooting OF the President.
Many OF the newspapers had from two
to half-s-dozen staff reporters on the
ground.

ia ackson County Onions.

There 10 another industry in Jackson
County which has hitherto been given
but little attention. II is that Of growing
onions. For the past few years the In
dustry has been gradually creeping into
prominence and today, In one particular
locality at least, II 10 one Of the most
pominent sources OF revenue. The lands
near Eagle Point and up Butte creek
seem especially adapted to the growth OF
this fragrant ~ vegetable and the farm
ers are quite alive to the conditions that
surround them and are making money.
The advantage. Of this product over many
others is that 80 little land 10 required.
A. l.. Haselton Of Eagle Point, will har.
vest this fall from "a acres OF ground
not less than 100000 pounds OF prime
onions. These Mr.. Haseton has sold for
$l.16 per hundred ponds. The market
price. however, ranges from one to one
and quarter cents per pound. There are
many other extensive growers in that
locality, among whom may be mentioned
Irving Daley, whose crop Is estimated at
100, 900 pounds Royal Brown, with 12 900
ponnds; ELI Dahsck, 10000; Frank
Lewis $1,000; Jos. Moomsw, 5000;
John Daley, 6OO0, and besides these there
are several up Butte creek who will har.
vest from 5000 to 10000 pounds. Then
there 10 John Nelson, In Sans Valley,
who has 5000 pounds. There probably
are many Others whose names we are
unable to learn, The onion industry is
a CLOSE second TO that Of Newtown and
Spitzen burg apples. 1t has features that
the orchard does not possess, being
greater returns for the land cultivated,
and in that these returns are much soon.
