sums up the number of possibilities
thus; Fulton and Geer are now most
talked about, yet II does not by any
means imply that there will be no
other candidates In fact there will
be several, and since the return Of
senator Mitchell from Washington
there has been unwonted activity in
the interest OF more than one whose
desire IL is to succeed Senator Simon.

DOESN'T LIKE CHINA.

III. B. Miller, VINO mas Deen Onlteu
States Consul at Niu Chwang, China,
for two years and a half, does not
think that portion Of the Celestial
Empire desirable place for an
American to live in.
Its very well if a man has large
commercial interests or good Gov
eminent position to reside there for a
few years, )" he said, but under ordi-
nary circumstances an American is
better off at home. Society, except
that of foreign representatives, is a
myth, and extravaganza of European
and Russian Government agents there
almost compels the American resi-
dents to fall into the same methods.
1t takes money to keep up with the
procession, and so the man of ordinary
income is likely to be appalled, at the
prospect.
"The Russians are particularly ex-
travagant, and with them champagne
flows like water. Social functions
are frequent and costly, and lavish
expenditure is the order Of the day
all the year round.
Mr. Miller was located in that por
tion of North China known as Man
churia, and he was asked if the Rus
slams and not the Chinese were not
really in authority there.
"They tried to take matters into
their own hands in Niu Chwang, he
said, "and we had several lively
clashes with them. They arrested
some of the sailors of an American
gunboat for breach of the peace, and
attempted to try them with their own
courts. protested against this, and
it was some time beofer they would
accede to my request, but they finally
did so and liberated the prisoners,
after which they rendered an apology
and were as nice as pie. We have
had no trouble on that score since.
"Do you think the Russians will
give up Manchuria?" 81 expect they
will-when we give up the Philip
pines and the British give up Egypt. -
Mr.. Miller, who is largely interest
ed in the cultivation of apples in
Rogue River valley, was asked what
the prospect was for market for
Oregon fruit in China. He said:
"When l went over there l thought
we might work up quite demand
for Oregon fruit in China, but / must
say the prospect is now discouraging
When one realizes that the cost of liv-
ing of the average Chinaman over
there is about two cents day in gold,
he can readily realize that the average
Chinaman cant buy many high priced
apples. There is a wealthy class of
Chinese, but their needs in tins direc-
tion are limited. A good many apples
are raised in China and in japan
These are of poor quality, but they
are made to do.
In jams, however, there is posi-
bility of II large business being done
with the Chinese, Mr.. Miller thinks,
and profitable trade might be work
ed up by Oregon merchants in this
commodity.
Mr.. Miller expects to return to Min
Chwang in November, but does not
expect to retain his position as Con
sui very long In fact, from what he
said incidentally. he has already
started preparations to hand his office
over to some successor and return to
Oregon for good.

FOREST RESERVE INSPECTION.

S. G. Bartrum, forest supervisor of

Of inspection of the work of the

TRACY IMITATORS.

Spokane, Aug. 12. -Emulating the
deeds and career of the notorious CON
vict Harry Tracy, three youthful
Spokanites started out on tour of
their own last Tuesday. They are al
legged to have stolen a Winchester,
money and ammunition and to have
lived in lawless and irregular way
until they were picked up by the op-
lice, and are now in Jail, awaiting
trial on the charge of burglary. The
youths are by name William Terrill,
aged II years Charles Dickey, aged II

goods.

CHAs. FAIR AND WIFE KILLED
BY AN AUTO.

Deyereaux., France, Aug. l4.-Mr
and Mrs. Charles Fair, Americans
who were related to Mrs. W. X. Van
derbilt, Jr. Miss Virginia Fair
were returning to Paris from Trou-
Vile today when their automobile
swerved and crashed into tree, 10
miles from here. Both were killed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fair had been staying
at Trouville during the week. They
had very fast 45-hOrsepower auto
mobile. which attracted considerable
attention and with which they were
highly pleased. Mr.. Fair had been
from Trouville to Paris and back
again in one day with the machine.
Theaccident occurred at . 80 O'Clock
this afternoon, and almost in front OF
the Chateau Buisson du Mai. The
Fairs intended to dine and spend the
night in Paris, and return to Trou-
Vile for lunch tomorrow. The wife
of the gatekeeper of the chateau was
the only witness to the disaster She
saws she noticed big red automobile
coming along the road at tremendous
pace. Suddenly something happened
and the heavy machine slid sidewise
from the right to the left side of the
road for about GO yards. 1t then dash
ed up an embankment, turning com
plete somersault and crashing into a
big elm tree in front of the gate OF
the chateau The automobile was
completely wrecked. The front axle
was broken, and other parts OF the
machine were smashed, including the
steering gear.
When the automobile turned oyel
the wife of the gatekeeper says, she
saw Mr.. and Mrs. Fair thrown high
in the air and fall with a heavy thud
to the ground. The chauffeur, who
was sitting behind the Fairs, was
precipitated into "a ditch. He stag
gered to his feet, calling for help
The gatekeeper's wife rushed to his
assistance and aided him in extric at
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Fair, who werc
buried beneath the wrecked machine
and in the last thores of death. Boil
had sustained ghastly injuries, ant
were almost unacceptable. Mr.
Fair head had been crushed in, Will,
his wife's skull was split. ThC
chauffeur was terribly affected at the
calamity, and seemed bereft of hi
senses. NJ. Barson, owner of thu
Chateau Buisson du Mai, was sum
moned, and after advising the loca
authorities of the accident, he ordered
the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Fair to b,
carried to the gatekeeper's lodge
Here they now lie on mattresses anf
flowers have been strewn over them.
The accident was evidently due t,
the bursting of tire. At the time i
occurred, the automobile, which wa
capable of running IA miles an hour
was going at the rate of G2 miles al
hour.
Charles Fair was one of the thre,
heirs to an immense estate, estimated
in value at between S25, 600, coo an,
$50, GOO, 600. The other two are hi
two sisters.
