BRYAN STIRS UP THE CHINESE
Convinced by Tenor of Address United
states VIII Yield Nothing
to Them.

SPOKANE. Wash. Feb n-samuel
Glasgow. manager Of milling company
of Spokane and Seattle. has received Hong
kong newspapers and letters from William
Burtt, Chinese representative of the com
pany, which state that a speech made by
William J. Bryan before the Chinese lner-
chants at a dinner given by them in his
honor had been used by Chinese agitators
to stir up fresh agitation against American
products. Previous to this, at meeting
held by about fifty commercial representa-
tives and delegates from the various
Chinese guilds of Shanghai, Canton and
Hongkong, the delegates had agreed upon
twelve proposed notifications of the cN-
clusion law. Tho American representatives
agreed to have their houses urge these upon
congress. and the Chinese agreed immedia-
ately to call of the boycott
Then, according to Hongkong papers, Mr..
Bryan appeared, was entertained by the
Chinese merchants at a dinner and declared
in "A speech that the American people
would never consent to repeal Of the
exclusion laws. One of the Chinese mer-
chants at the dinner reported the proceed
ings to the Chinese newspapers. lie quoted
Mr.. Bryan as declaring that the labor party
was strong in the United States that
Chinese workmen, skilled or unskilcd
would never be permitted to enter, and
as drawing a gloomy picture of what would
happen to American workmen II the
Chinese were allowed to take away their
employment. This informant said that
while Mr.. Bryan had agreed to support
number OF the proposed changes, he had not
been able to draw from the American
leader any definite assurance OF support
of the policy which the Chinese would
insist upon as the only condition on which
the boycott would be withdrawn
After Mr.. Bryan's speech the Chinese
became convinced that congress would not
adopt the changes recommended by the
American merchants and that their best
policy was to put on the boycott screws
tighter than ever.

LONDON, Feb, 11.-(special Cablegram
to rho e The objection to the pro-
posed inauguration by the London county
council to trade schools for the purpose OF
training young feminine pupils in dress
making, tailoring and upholstering is that
it means an increase in the taxes.
Business men are also saying that II Is
useless because many large tailoring es-
tablishments offer special Inducements to
working girls who are willing TO serve

the practical teaching secured in these
establishments is far and away more valu-
able than the theoretical instruction OF the

moving along we'll at the dam, and
Mr.. Wethey was much pleased with
the progress being made.
When questioned about the rumors
ly that the proposed system will be
extended through the Bitter Root VAL
ley to Hamilton, Mr.. Wethey said that
while he could not speak with positive
assurance in the affirmative, he had
been securing data regarding the pro-
ject while in Missoula this time, and
that if conditions warrant the line
will eventually be built. His inquiries
were for detailed information regard
ing the tonnage of Bitter Root pro-
duce that is shipped to and from Miss
oula. ,of which he understands there is
an average of 80 cars a day; the pop-
ulation of the towns and the possibility
of supplying electric lights for the
same, and also the probability of secur-
ing franchises and a right of way for
the line. "The information which I
have received regarding these thugs"
said Mr.. Wethey, sis thus far very en-
couraging, and makes the proposed
line appear feasible"

BUTTE AND BITTER ROOT
Senator Clark's Electric Railway
May Shortly Connect Hamilton
and Butte by SkalkaI1o Pass

General Manager Wethey having
confirmed the general belief that Sen
ator Clark's electric railway will be
ultimately extended up the Bitter
Root valley, must naturally suggest
the conclusion that the road will not
stop here-it will be extended across
the hills to Butte. Butte, the natural
market for the great Bitter Root val
ley, is located almost directly east of
Hamilton. 1t will be necessary to
build less than 80 miles of track. over
perfectly feasible route by way Of
Skalkaho pass and fork of Rock
creek, to connect Hamilton, the center
of the fruitful Bitter Root valley with
bountiful Butte. At present the dis
tance by rail is IT'S miles-more than
double the mileage.
Freight cars are switched on to troll
ley lines nowadays and transported
with utmost ease. The bulk of the lum-
oSI dhu ptouuSC VI tAC l)lltSI INool Is
consumed in Butte. This immense
traffic, which is growing by leaps and
bounds, would naturally be diverted
over the cutoff.
And the passenger traffic would
quickly build up to tremendous totals

there.

not a dream. 1t must soon develop in

CHAFFIN SERIOUSLY CUT
Prominent Sheepmen of Corvallis

yesterday and serious injury to both.
No one but the principals were pres

to details. It appears, however, that
the men met yesterday afternoon
about 1:3O O'Clock on the Willow creek
road about two miles east OF Corvallis.
Mr.. Kern was riding in buggy and
Mr.. Chaffin was mounted on horse.
Chaffin rode up and accused Kern of
leased by him. Kern denied this. Hot
words followed and Chaffin invited
Kern to get out of his buggy and fight
it out. Kern stepped out of his buggy
and tied his team to the fence, Chaffin
meanwhile also hitching his horse.
They quickly got together and "mixed

knocked Kern down with a rock and
pummeled him until he ''hollered
enough" and when Kern arose the lat

When the fight ended Chaffin mounted
his horse and rode to his home on the
Howe ranch, about half a mile away
and Kern also went home. r. b.

just as the men separated.
