DECENTRALIZATION FRAUD.

Dishonest people resort to va
rious means to defraud not alone !;
their neighbors and patrons, but !
their government as well. Our
tariff laws are in the nature of a !
tax for the purpose of maintain
ing our government; but the
tariff has an additional duty to
perform, that of protecting our
manufacturers, our producers,
our laborers, from the manufac-
tured wares Of cheap-labor coun-
tries.
Some party has always been
in evidence with some scheme to
defeat every just law that ever
was passed. The Dingley tariff,
Just and equitable as it is, has
been evaded and it's end defeated
on many occasions since it's pas
sage in 1897.
The scheme of undervaluation
was the one that did the trick
for a time, but the call down
given George Borgfeldt & Co.,
New York City, is likely to be
productive of good. This COM
pany import vast quantities of
pottery, glass and chinaware each
year, and in order to avoid the
payment of just duties, it became
a fixed policy with them to have
their importations undervalued
when shipped.
Lesley M. Shaw, secretary of
the treasury, undertook to secure
a fair administration Of the law
and force importers to place q
correct valuation upon their i'm
portations. This did not suit
Borgfeldt & Co. and they enlist
ed the Merchant Association OF
New York against the findings
of the treasury department. AT
fairs went from bad to worse un'
til finally it was referred to Pres
ident Roosevelt.
Believing in a square deal fol
every man" !" the president listen
ed to both sides Of the question
March 80. It is very gratifying
to note that he very promptl!
gave his opinion in support of tn
treasury department in it's effor
to put down an attempt to de
fraud the government by an eva
sion Of the payment Of tarif
duties. This is another instanc
when our president has "stoo'

ARE NOT RECOGNIZED.

The management of the Lewis
and Clark Fair certainly have
little desire for an educational
exhibit from their own state. The
accusation that said management
is not informed regarding the
merits of the various educational
institutions of the state would be
a reflection upon the intelligence
of this board. But if well in
formed, why so little attention
to such an educational exhibit as
could have been produced by the
schools and colleges Of the state :?
The Oregon Agricultural Col
iege, located in this city, is the
largest college in the Northwest
and for more than year has
been at work preparing an ex-
hibit for the Exposition. For
such an exhibit as OAC can make
considerable space would be re-
quired, as our college does moth
ing on small lines. It is now un-
derstood that OAC is to receive
a floor space SKIS feet.
Think of it.! A whole year for
such a space-there never was a
time during the past fifteen years
that OAC could not have cram
med such a little 'cubby hole"
full on fifteen minutes notice,
and never have missed it.
OAC is not the only college cut
down on space. We have heard
mutterings to the effect that our
college will not send an exhibit,
but have heard Of no definite
plan Of action for such a course.

Hundreds of thousands of frecrackers
were discharged in Chinatown last
evening to the accompaniment of
screeching and changing Chinese bands.
They announced that the harvest of
the full moon had again arrived. The
celebration was general among the
Chinese and every clubhouse was bril-
liant and gay with novel electric and
floral decorations, and in nearly all of
them banquets were held late in the
evening.
Once a year the full moon festival
comes around. and it always arrives
in the month of September. Tt is a
time of rejoicing among Chinese, es-
pecia1ly in the F1owery Kingdom, for
it marks the time when the harvest is
all in and in plenty.

GREETING To
MISSIONARIES
Reception Given Them
at the Christian
Church.

The missionaries aboard the China
| who are en- route to their stations In
Japan, Korea, China, the Philippines
and India, were entertained yesterday
by members of various churches, and
| We're given a reception last evening at
| the Christian church.
| During the day the missionaries
rious points of interest. A special car
| conveyed them to Kalihi and back
again to Kapiolani Park, where they
| visited the Aquarium, which was a
! source of wonder to the visitors.
Luncheon was served at noon at Engle-
| side, the Y. w. c. A. and Y. NJ. c. A
! boarding home. and in the afternoon
/ there was more sightseeing.
| In the evening the Christian church
! was the rendezvous where many local
! churchworkers, whose business inter-
ests prevented them from meeting the
missionaries during the day, were
present with others to greet them.
Rev. G. D. Edwards of the Christian
church and Mr.. Snodgrass had charge
of the function. Rev. J. w. Wadman
of the Methodist church. who for years
Iabored in Japan in church work. was
ciiLOlIS lDOSS pISSSAl. ne q
prayer, after which several of the mis-
isionaries were called upon to speak.
The first speaker was Mr.. H. C.
Saum, who is on his way to India. He
referred to the happiness he experience
ed in having been able to stop over In
Honolulu a whole day. He and the
rest of the missionaries had been roy
ally entertained and they would never
forget their stay here. He had been
impressed with this thought while in
the city: The church had never before
had such an opportunity to evangel-
ize the world, and never before did
the church realize its opportunity
more than now. AS to India, it needed
at least one missionary to every 25,-
900 people.
Miss l.. Oldham, was then introduced
as next to the oldest missionary of
the church in Japan. which Mr.. Snod-
grass corrected amid smiles, to mean
in point of service. Miss Oldham
spoke long and Interestingly of her life
in the Empire, and detailed the diff
culties which beset her in spreading
the gospel. She had been placed among
Japanese largely of the student class,
although there We're poor people as
well. Out of her own funds she had
saved $1,000 in about three years time to
devote To the erection or a chapel
which held about 800 Japanese.
She also maintained a school for
poor children, and had about fifty pu-
pills, until the governments order went
forth that the only schools that would
be permitted We're those which did not
teach Christianity. That closed up
her school as well as nearly all Oc-
cidentally established schools In the |
empire.
She told of a great evangelistic move
ment held recently in Japan in which |
all the church denominations Joined |
hands. She told how she stood on !,
street corners distributing thousAnus |
of invitations to Japanese to attend |
Many took them gladly others stood |
before her and tore the papers into |
shreds, saying 81 hate Christianity"
Other speakers told similar expert |
ences and the reception ended in an |
informal manner.

Badly Hurt

Joseph Fruchtl, proprietor OF the
Kendrick Brick Yard, was severely
hurt Saturday morning last, al
though it might easily have been con-
siderably worse.
Water getting on one OF the belts
attached to the engine, he was clay
ing and wiping it off with piece
OF burlap when his hand was caught
and the wrist thrown against a post
close to the betting: at the same time
his face and head were thrown
against an overhead belt which was
running rapidly. The time of contact
was not over a half minute but the
result was IL broken wrist, a cash
over the eve and along the head
While this was rather serious, the
employees say it was wonder Mr..

AS result of the M. E. Conference
which closed it's labors Sunday even
ing, Rev. George Pease has been re-
turned to Kendrick field for the COM
ing year. Also one other important
change is in the Assignment of Elder
Gibson to one of the large churches
in Spokane, and the appointment OF
Rev. Skye to the Eldership
OF the Walla Walla district. The de-
parture of Mr.. Gibson will be noted
with regret by both his members
and the public generally, as he is a
strong character, powerful worker
and very popular, That Mr.. Pease is
retained here as the local pastor is
very satisfactory to the church
which under his care has had a more
satisfactory growth and is stronger
today, than any record for "a like
period covering the post and the
meml ers feel that his services are
still needed here.

A Bad Wind

Sunday evening at about p. m.
heavy clouds began to hank in the
west which seemed to presage rain.
About six however the wind increased
and at 6:30 we were enjoying a dust
storm, such as has never been exper-
fenced in this section-no, not by the
Oldest inhabitants thereof Most of
the dust in this section was carried
to Cedar creek while every thing
from the streets to the best room in
the house was well covered with
Snake river sand.
For about two hours the gale
blew with unabated velocity, but
died down about 9p. M. Reports
from surrounding sections show a
like experience, although no material
damage was done except to fruit. In
this quite heavy loss is noted es-
pecially Bartlett pears which are
just in condition to ship. Most all
telephone wires suffered, and Lew
iston was isolated for a few hours;
also the tops of a few stacks were
blown away. but no houses were up
set or lives lost, as near as we can
learn although the wind at one time
was travelling 60 miles an hour.
During the worst period the
canyon was simply a wall of dust,
which the eye could not penetrate
for more than fifty feet, and the
good people of our town have been
busy this week, cleaning house,
stoves, goods, in fact cleaning every
thing.
