When the Roosters Crow.
To be continued.D

The feelings of some honest folk from
the country when they visit large city
have been very accurately described by
Chicago paper, and as this old farmer
says, there's very little difference be-
tween city and country II you only look
for the things which they have in COM
mon.
"I'm all right in Chicago If can hear
the roosters crow once in WHILE" said
John, "but when don't hear them get
pretty homesick, and want to hurry
back to the old farm In Ford County.
That's why always pick out lodgings
as close as can get to South Water
street.
II come up here once in a while on
business of my own, and feel at home
well enough down at the ock-yards
in the daytime, where the hogs grunt
and the cattle below, but I'm lonesome
at night when can't hear the ROSTERS.
'I reckon II you was down on my
farm a night or two, you'd be mighty
glad to hear a street-car gong, or a
steamboat whistle, or q wagon clatter-
ing over the stones. When fellow has
heard a rooster crow about sunup every
morning for forty years, he doesn't feel
just right when he gets where there are
no roosters.
"You can talk all you please about
your clean city and your city beauti.
full, as the newspapers call it, but I'd
rather smell clover field In this town
when I'm lonesome than the sweetest
flowers you've got on State street.
~ recollect Parson Cross saying once,
in sermon, that touch OF nature
makes the whole world kin. Somehow
when hear a rooster crow up here, or a
sheep bleat, or get the smell of stable,
it makes me feel that Chicago people
amt so much different from us on the
farm, after all"

WANT HON PRICES.
rIarIOn County Fruit and Wool Men Or
ganIze Unions for Mutual Benefit.

Union among producers to compel
competition among buyers was the
watchword at the meetings Of fruit
growers and woolgroWers in Salem last
Saturday. The producers propose TO
stand together for their mutual benefit
and to compel BUYERS to bid against
each other for the produce they have 70
sell. To secure the highest price the
market will warrant Is the purpose,
and those who are identified with the
unions feel confident Of successful
outcome Of the cooperative movement.
About so owners Of sheep met and
organized the Marion county wooIgrow-
eFs' association. A sales committee
was appointed. Committees were also
appointed to draft resolutions as basis
for the organization and 10 prepare a
constitution. A large committee, COM
posed OF residents OF different parts Of
the county, will be appointed to solicit
membership.
The Salem fruitgrowers' union, which
was organized last year, held . meet
ing to discuss the methods Of disposing
of this years crop of berries and cher
ries. 1t was the general opinion that
competition must govern the prices, but
after the early fruit has been disposed
Of the Salem cannery will be given the
preference at the same price that shall
be offered by shippers.
The growers we're unit in voicing
their loyalty to the cannery and assert
ed their intention to give the cannery
their patronage, provided that the pro
prietor would meet the prices of ship
pers. Some of the early fruit will be
shipped fresh, while the prices are
high, Dut after that the fruit will be
offered to the cannery in preference to
shipping fresh, the price being the
same or better. An earnest desire for
the success of the cannery was ex-
pressed by many, for the reason that
this enterprise furnishes market for
the fruit and prevents glut in the
local market. A determination to pro-
duce bstter quality of fruit was also
expressed.

NAVAL OFFICERS BRIBED..
Charge Of BOOdIIng Against Builders of
Philippine 0unboats.

Victoria, B. c., May 4. - Two Jap
anese papers publish stories to the
effect that the American officers sent
over to watch the construction of the
Manila gunboats for the United States
by the Uruguay dock company we're
bribed and passed work which resulted
in structural defects in the first gun
boat.
The Niroku Shimpo says that three
United States officers superintended the
construction of the first gunbeat and
some Japanese officers who took her to
Manila saw that, although outwardly
the vessel was we'll constructed, there
were some defects. They reported to
Washington, and new inspectors were
sent, and the four gunboats now on the
stocks are being reconstructed at q
heavy loss to the builders. The Japan
Mail discredits the stories of bribing.

RUSSIA DEMANDS ANSWER.
Wants TO Know Why China Rejects Her
Terms.

London, May alma dispatch from
Pekin the correspondent OF the Times
says that in an inte1view held on We'd
nesday with all the ministers Of the
Chine Office. N. Planchon, Russian
charge d'affaires, pressed for reasons
for the rejection of the Russian de-
mands. The ministers replied that
they we're unable 10 give the reasons
separately. NJ. Planchon then, on be.
half OF his government, requested
statement Of China's intentions. frst,
the contemplated alteration in the gov
ernment Of Mongolia; second, the non-
alienation BY lease, concession OF other
wise Of any portion of the Liaou valley
TO any other power, and, third, the
opening Of new treaty ports in Man
churis.
To the first clause the ministers re.
piled that the alteration had not re-
ceived imperial sanction; to the second,
that China had no intention OF aIienat-
ing any Of her territory; and TO the
third, that the opening Of ports would
depend upon trade developments.
NJ. Planchon profeesed 10 be satisfied
with these answers, but the Chinese
are still uncomfortable, knowing how
impossible it is for her to resist Rug
sia's demand. 1t is announced that
NJ. Lessar, the Russian minister to
China, is returning to Pekin, anil that
the fulfillment of the terms Of the
Manchurian convention will be post
poned until after his arrival and will
result from his negotiations.
"The fact that Russia now appears
anxious to repudiate the orders given
M. Planchon," concludes the Times
correspondent, "does not mean that her
demands have been abandoned; by
these orders Russia has acquainted
China with what she expects"

THE NAVY IN THE EAST.
Representation in the Orient Will Be
Materially Increased.

The United States naval representation
In the orient will be increased materially
as soon as the vessels now under orders
to proceed to those waters arrive there.
The Navy Department in making this in
crease contemplates squadrons in Asiadc
and Philippine waters under three general
heads, viz: Vessels Of the line Of battle,
made up of the battle ships Kentucky,
Oregon and Wisconsin and the monitors
Monterey and Monadnock, all of which are
now there except the Wisconsin, which
sails from Puget Sound about May 1; Sec
ond. the cruiser squadron, made up of the
New Orleans. which is already on the
Asiatic station, and the Raleigh, now in
the Caribbean sea, and the Albany and
the Cincinnati, and the third squadron,
made up of gunboats and small craft de-
signed especially for service in the smaller
bodies of water, where the larger ships,
because Of their draft, are unable to 60.
The idea Of the three-squadron formation
is a favorite one with many naval officers.
who to some extent have arranged its
counterpart with the vessels Of the At
lantic fleet
1t is said here that the change in the
character of the Asiatic squadron IL due
primarily to what naval experts consider
the proper division of our navy, and was
decided on some time ago. 1t also Is felt
to be a good precautionary measure to
have a strong representation in the far
east ready for service should the occa-
sion Unexpectedly arise.
