SAYS BOYCOTT CAUSED RIOT
Foreign Official Declares Trouble Is
Direct Result of Agitation
BY Associated Press.

Oy IASSUCIHIeU FTVSS
CHEFOO, Dec. 20, 10 p. MA prom
irent foreign official who is visiting
Chefoo, crystallizing the opinions of
persons thoroughly acquainted in China
and with the present disorders, states
that the Shanghai troubles were the
direct result of the American boycott.
He thinks the American officials at
Washington should have opposed the
Chinese demands for revision of the
exclusion laws and insisted upon the
immediate suppression of the boycott
He characterizes the boycott move
ment as an excuse for an exhibition
of the anti-foreign feeling resulting
from an inf1ammatory propaganda car
ried on throughout China since the
commencement of the Russo-Japanese
war.

Damage by Fire, $500

Fire of unknown origin nearly de-
stroyed the home of Clarence Hanro-
ham of 23S South Avenue Twenty early
last evening. The fire was discovered
by neighbors and AN alarm was tele-
phoned to the department. The family
was absent, and before the firemen
arrived and could gain entrance the
flames were beyond control. The dam
age is estimated at $500.

Says Boycott Is Harmless

'While the boycott in itself is harm
less" continues the official referred to-,
''it has been used by the revolutionary
anti-foreign faction of the Chinese to
precipitate a repetition of the Boxer
troubles, though it is probable that
the eXcitable elements have eluded the
control of the real conspirators and
caused premature demonstrations.
"Unless the Washington authorities
take immediate and strong measures
to suppress the agitation in Shanghai"
concluded the official quoted, troubles
which are now merely local will
spread"
The foreign boycott agitation appears
in Chefoo to be due undoubtedly to
the stern demand of the American
Consul Fowler that the Chinese re-
frain from holding meetings or issuing
inflammatory placards, resulting in the
inability of the dangerous Chinese ele-
ment TO successfully prosecute their
agitation.

BRITISH PLAN DEMONSTRATION
Quiet Prevails Because of Armed
Force in Chinese City
BY Associated Press.


By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON Dec 2O.-The state
department has received a cablegram
from Shanghai announcing the arrival
there last evening of the men from the
cruiser Baltimore.
Ihe state department advices of this,
morning are to the effect that the Brit
ish were preparing for a large demon
stration by both army and navy Ger
man, Japanese and Austrian cruisers
were on their way to Shanghai
Quiet prevailed yesterday evening,
but only because of the armed force
controlling the city The mixed court
was still closed. The Chinese author
tiles were trying to effect a compro-
mise, but demanded q removal of the
British assessor which demand was
refused. There was no report of trou-
bic at the outposts, but the mission
aries were becoming alarmed and many
were arriving in Shanghai.
AS understood here the trouble arose
from the action of the British assessor
leVying a tax upon a Chinese resident
of the foreign settlement, the court
is q curious body, made UP of q Chinese
magistrate who holds sittings every
week day.
Mixed Court Causes Row
On two days of each week an Amer
lean official from the consulate general
sits with it in the capacity of assessor
on two other days a similar German
official sits and on the remaining two
week days a British representative
This court has jurisdiction over all
licenses and taxes payable by the
Chinese in the foreign settlement OF
Shanghai. The Chinese municipal
authorities have always been jealous of
this court and there have been many
clashes in the past owing to the efforts
of the Chinese to collect these taxes
themselves. The court also possesses
the power to punish culprits and fur
ther causes the -nine-tails to be
laid on, while the Chinese whip cul-
prits with bamboos. For a long time
past the Chinese have been trying to
reduce the authority of the mixed
court and it is inferred here that the
present trouble has arisen from the
assumption of jurisdiction by the Brit
ish over some of the Chinese mer-
chants.

Will The I BIS & =?

r. sGr1a respects tAn matter
may be 60 siderad Of q delicate
nature, but perhaps the 'livest"
question in Oregon today relates
to the course likely to be pursued
by those wac heretofore repre-
sented this s.; ate at the meetings
Of our national congress. It is!
patent to all that Mitchell and
Williamson, and Hermann, too,
are in such positions that they
are not likely to be able to render
Oregon any service whatever at
the next meeting Of our body Of
national legislators.
Surely they must know their
positions even though friends
have shielded them from all
contact with those little features
and incidents relative to their
standing before their fellowmen.
In the cases Of these men fullest
Justice has been accorded them,
by press and public, and even on
their arraignment there was a
loathing in the minds of all
against giving undue pain or
causing needless modification
This courtesy in large measure
has been melted out to them.
Will they now be equal to the
occasion and come forward like
the men they were reputed te
be and resign? From any sane
standpoint they may as well, fol
to hold on will add not to thei
glory at home or abroad. Fo
Oregon they can accomplish alb
solutely nothing in congress
And now, perhaps as much a
that Of any other time in tn
states history, is a time whel
good men are sadly needed. 1
good harmonious working dele
cation from Oregon, laboring i
connection with representative
from other western states, ma
do much for the benefit of tn
entire coast and of this benef
Oregon will secure her quota.
Some of Oregon's represents
tive men state that there
neither use nor sense in sendin
inexperienced men to Washing
ton. Such talk is foolish-notl
ing less. Does all the wisdol
in the state belong to Mitchell
Williamson, or even Hermann
Il SO, then God help Oregon, fl
her condition is truly a pitiab
one. AS the case now stand
we have but one man in a pos
tion to do good work for OF
state-Senator Fulton.

Venice.


Throughout her career Venice IN
spired in her sons such devotion as
passes the patriotism Of most peoples.
They revered her as queen, they loved
her as mother. Although an exclusive
oligarchy ruled the state, yet every
Venetian felt that Venice belonged to
him. St. Mark was the patron equally
Of doge and dustman. The legend
which all believed, tie pageants in
which even the humblest had his place,
sprang out of the heart of the whole
people and symbolized the unity which
bound all together. And life in Venice,
mere physical life, was pleasant to a
larger proportion Of the inhabitants
and during more generations than it
has been in any other city. No wonder,
therefore, that when Tintoret, the
greatest of her painters-in so many
respects the greatest of all painters
was commissioned to decorate the vast
wall of the hall Of the great council,
wishing to express the feeling of every
Venetian toward his Incompatible city,
he chose for his subject paradise

IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED.

The men who unselfishly give time
and effort, risk life and limb in the
service of the community, should have
all honor and praise, should have
every facility for doing good work and
every comfort that can be provided.
On Saturday night, what might have
been a much more serious fire was
fought by Wenaohees firemen with
combined fury and cool judgemen
that would have been a credit to the
best equipped and differed depart
ment in any city in the land.
Through their heroic efforts much
property was saved that without them
would have been lost The spread of
the flames was checked, other build
ings were saved. All night these men
stood guard and fought while the city
slept in safety.
What shall we do for them that
stand between us and terrible de-
struction and death? Shall we not
give them every facility for doing
their work? Their quarters should be
comfortable and we'll equipped as those
of any fire department in any city any
where. Nothing should be too good
for these men who stand ready to die
to protect not only their fellow mems
lives, but their property as we'll. Now
is the season of great danger, every
thing is dry and without these brave
men our city might easily be destroyed
in night.
If anything can be done to improve
the conditions under which these
b4ave men work, it should be done
and that q ickly; it sho1ld be done
now. Let those i'll positions of au-
thor.ty, our leaders, act Immediately.
Let's all get to to work and set the
wheels moving that will perfect our
fire-fighting organization and make it
an even more powerful force for safe
ty than 1t now is. Let the word be
action, immediate action. Don't wait
for anyone, talk for it, work for it
yourself. BY and-bye will be eternal
~ too late Do it now. Get busy.

Wheat Crop Ready for Harvest.

CENTERVILLE, July 22.-The
wheat crop now being harvested in
this county is larger than that of any
previous year. The yield is much
better than for a number of years and
there is larger acreage than ever be-
fore, several hundred acres in the east.
ern part of the county being in for the
first time.
Fall wheat is now being headed ana
it is thought that a great deal of 1t
will thresh forty bushels to the acre
and some even more. Spring wheat
Will be ripe in two weeks. About a
dozen threshers will be running in
a week and then it is probable that
there will be scarcity of farm hands
to harvest the grain. Klikatat's
wheat producing area is not so large
as that of many Eastern Washington
counties and scarcity of farm hands
will only lengthen the period of har-
vesting few days.
