he troops of his command in Camp Ia
con. The soldiers, consisting of cav

and militia, to the number of about
5000, passed in review before the gen

The review provided one of the fin
eest spectacular affairs ever witnessed
by the people of the Pacific northwest.
The troops were In khaki uniforms and
light marching order. They were re-
viewed in brigade formation. 1t took
just one hour for the five brigades to
march past. The review was most sue
cessful in every way. The troops were
in fine condition. The civilian crowd
was as orderly as the soldiers them
selves.
This review closes the first week of
the encampment and the state troops
will return home tomorrow and Tues
day.

A Modern City.
VALPARAISO. which has recently been
destroyed by earthquakes, for a long
time was only a small village, exposed
TO the attacks Of Corsairs. In 1918,
when It had a population Of but 200
souls, it was rillaged by Drake, ana
again in 1894 by Sir Richard HaW-
kins.
VALPARAISO is a fortified seaport OF
Chile, and the most important com
mercial town of the west coast OF
South America.
1t has a population Of about $780,
900.
It is the capital Of the province OF
that name and is situated on a large
BAY in the Pacific ocean, IS miles west
of Santiago, with which it is connected
by rail.
The bay of Valparaiso, which is we'll
sheltered on three sides, is bounded
by ranges of hills rising to from 1900
to 100 feet high. on the slopes OF
which a considerable portion Of the
CITY of Valparaiso is built.
On the south side of the bay are the
spacious suburbs of Neuvo, Maelcon
and Gran Avenida, from which pass
out on the finest thoroughfares of the
city the Avenida de las Delicias. The
lower central section Of the city is con-
stituted by the Almendral having
regular and attractive streets and
containing the principal business
houses, the Plaza Victoria and the Ma
tional theater.
To the northwest of this section, in
the quarter of the city known as the
Puerto, in which are situated the
greater number of public buildings
and the vast warehouses which line
the quays and docks. In this portion
of the city, however, narrow and
crooked streets are still a feature, but
the newer sections of the city have
an attractive modern appearance, the
buildings being massively built.
The city has various academic and
collegiate institutions, a naval school,
school for marines, museum of natural
history, photographic bureau, ETC., and
its industrial establishments comprise
%foundries. railroad and machine shops,
sugar refineries, large bottling works
and factories of all kinds. Elevators
connect the lower parts of the city
with the villa section on the heights.
The port of Valparaiso is the terminus
of many important lines of steamers
for Europe via the straits of Magellan
and Panama, and is the center of the
South American coasting service. 1t
contains a numerous foreign colony,
composed chiefly of British, German
and French merchants. There is a
custom house wharf alongside of
which steamers of any tonnage can
moor, but most of the loading is done
by lighters from a quay surrounding
the town. The harbor is defended by
modern, well mounted batteries. Sc
we're storms and a tidal wave at Val
paraiso June 80, 1899, wrecked the rail-
road and did great damage to the
city.

TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE NEARLY
DESTROYS WHOLE CITY.
Without the slightest Warning the

Valparaiso, Chile - Without the

quake visited that city last Thursday
night, bringing death to hundreds OF
persons and leaving many hundreds
more imprisoned in the ruins, many
Of whom were burned to death before
aid could reach them. Fire started
Immediately after the first shock AMI
every branch of the city'S service was
indescribable followed, and those who
escaped death and injury became fren-
zied with fear and could render little
assistance to the victims.
The business section OF the city is
almost entirely destroyed. AS night
aglow with dnobstructed fires, and
clouds of smoke and vapor settle in
the streets where throngs of homeless
ones are wandering about crazed by
the awful calamity.
Telegraphic communication is cut
off in all directions and every one here
is too much depressed by the calamity
at home to seek information in other
places. No trains have arrived in the
city or left it since the shock came,
as all of the railroad tunnels r filled
and miles of track are twisted and
rendered useless. 1t is only known
from general accounts that death and
destruction are on all sides.
There were two distinct shocks, the
second che following almost instantly
after the first and completing the
work of destruction.
The day had been unusually calm
and pleasant. At 8 o'clock the whole
city seemed suddenly to swing back
ward and forward, and there came a
sudden jolt of such mighty force that
rows of buildings toppled to the earth
as if made of brittle plaster. Whole
rows of buildings were down in a few
minutes.
AS soon as the second shock had sub
sided it became known that the bust
ness part of The town was doomed.
From the Bella Vista section little was
heard, but before midnight fires we're
seen burning there, and it was learned
that that section of the city also was
doomed.
The city stands upon a formation of
granite gneiss, which seemed to accen-
tuate the force of the shock.
Before the stunned people were
given time to realize the magnitude.
of the calamity again the city was
shaken with violence greater than be-
fore. The earth in places lifted and
pitched the buildings forward. In
other places there was a terrible ire
NOR that shook every structure to the
ground. This shock continued longer
than the first. When it subsidized fires
were blazing up and thousands Of ter
rified persons were praying, and panic
swept the city.
Many landslides have occurred
around the city and scores of lives
have been lost.

Buenos Ayres.-Most of the damage
is done in the center Of the city. ex-
tending from the Plaza del Orden to
the Plaza Pratt. Probably one-third
of the city Is in ruins. Many lives
were lost, but the number is not yet
known, estimates varying from 500 to
5000. Hundreds of persons were in
jured. The property losses will total
scores of millions. A state of panic
prevails.
Los Andes, Is miles east of San
Felips, and having a population of
5000, was almost totally DESTROYED.
The finest buildings of the town-gov-
eminent houses, hotels and public of.
fices-were completely wrecked.
Other towns on the Chilean side
of the Andes. wholly or partially de-
stroyed, are QuiIIota. with a population
OF 5000; Llay Llay, with a population
of $500; Illapel, with a population of
5000; Vallenar, with a population of
5000. and San Felipe, having 10000
inhabitants. Quillota is a mass of
ruins and there was a great loss of
life there.
From Santiago to the Andes every
bridge and tunnel on the railway was
utterly wrecked and the railway lines
torn up.
The shock is supposed to have been
caused by the eruption of a volcano
near Jenin Los Andes.

TOPEKA, kas.--F. -. Coburn, secre-
tary OF the state board OF agriculture, has
started to work gathering statistics and
other information regarding the sum
flower. and during the winter will make
an effort to have the two Kansas expert
ment stations and the agricultural college
take up the culture of the sunflower For
some time Mr.. Coburn has been receiving
letters and Inquiries about the uses 10
which the sunflower can be put. n the
sunflower is useful and the seeds market
able. Mr.. Coburn is going TO learn all
about IT, lie hopes to have the expert
merit stations make series OF expert
ments which will determine the best
varieties, the means OF cultivation and
the method of preparing the seeds for
market.
Mr. Coburn has sent out number of
inquiries and has found that the seeds
produce an oil which makes tho finest OF
vegetable soaps. The oil when properly
prepared Is edible, and is OF much the
sane rature as olive oil and serves the
same purposes. Not very many years ago
the cotton seed was considered worthless.
now the oil Is one of the most valuable

Hon. A. H. Dawson: The repub-

protection 10 American labor--the
protection which has come to be
synonymous with prosperity-the
policy which has also been coinci-

history of our country has vindi-

and yet the democracy stands
pledged by its national and state
platforms TO destroy IL,
Protection insures steady employ
ment to labor at good wages, and
provides a large and steady market
to the farmer for his products. II
preserves the home market for our
own producers, and keeps at home
the profits which would otherwise
so abroad.
The republican party will main
tain this policy in all its virility
and strength, and to do this Il IA
