TO STUDY AMERICAS PROGRESS
China viii Have Representatives at
jamestown Exposition to Learn
Lessons this Exposition
Has to Teach.
By ]. T. Maginnis.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. I4.-China, the
sleeping celestial kingdom, will have a
representative at the Jamestown ex-
position. An official letter received at
the exposition headquarters in Norfolk
from Robert Bacon, assistant secreta-
ry of State at Washington, says that
American Consul Ragsdale, at Tien-
Tsin, China, has been informed official
ly by the Chinese government that Chi
ma would send representatives to the
exposition. The representatives will
be instructed to gather all possible in
formation about the progress of Amer
lea as shown by the exposition.
Major A. M. Wheeler, chief of the
department of exhibits, says that Ja-
pan is to be similarly represented, and
that is the custom of all the big Euro
pean countries to send such representa-
tives, quite aside from official commits
sions to study the American exposi-
tions. At St. Louis he recalled that
French, Austrian and German repre-
sentatives went personally to each
separate exhibit, buying extensively
all manner OF articles and sending
them home. He was surprised at the
thoroughness with which this work was
performed. In addition they obtained
all the reports of State commissioners
on the exposition. 1t is expected that
merchants and manufacturers who seek
part in the growing trade of the Unit
ed States with China, which has been
growing since the open door policy has
been applied to many additional ports,
will be spurred to great activity as a
result Of this latest news from the
far East

RETURN FROM OUTING
Many Families Returning to Dallas
From Vacation at Netarts
Bay.

Theephemeral colony Of Dallas peo-
pie that sprang up at Netarts Bay
early in the present month has begun
to dwindle away, and family after
family come driving back to Dallas,
bronzed by the tan of two weeks expos
ure to the sun and satiated with the
various joys of camp life.
These returned prodigals, while
reporting that Netarts is not all that
could be desired as summer resort,
say that they return with no unsatis-
fed desires in their hearts, as the
goodly company OF friends they had
around them made full amends for any
deficiencies in the locality.
At one of their concerts. (and they
enjoyed several of these during their
stay, thirty-three Dallas people we're
present. In view of this fact, there
can be no doubt that the days passed
merrily, for we all know the character
Of our townsmen, and when thirty
three Of them meet on an outing and
in pursuit Of happiness, they are bound
to flnd it.
One of the exciting events Of their
short stay at the seashore was the slay-
ing of real bear by the men of the
camp. They were all in at the death,
and can all lay an equally valid claim
to the honors of the occasion. How
ever, suspicion points to Frank Ram
sey as the man who fired the fatal
shot.
Those who came drifting back from
he seashore last week were Postmas
er C.G. Coad and family, Dr. and
Mrs. Mark Hayter, H. G. Campbell
and family, F. S. Ramsey and family,
and W. G. Campbell and family.

Editor Woodward Of the Newberg
Graphic announces that, after Septem-
ber l, the subscription price of his
paper will be raised to $3.50 a year.
This price is made imperative by the
sharp advance in prices of paper and
printing material. Mr.. Woodward
says that rather than lower the stand
ard of his paper, he would go out of
business. 1t is this very spirit that
has made the Graphic one of the best
country newspapers in Oregon, and one
that is we'll worth $3.50 a year. It's
publisher will find that the raise from
81 to 81. so will not lose him a single
subscriber, and that his ledger will
hereafter show the profit to which his
conscientious and painstaking labor
has entitled him. The day of the dol
lar newspaper is passing, never to
return--at least, until such time as
some process Of transmitting thoughts
to paper other than with ordinary
presses and type shall be discovered.

The sawmill men Of Oregon, Wash
ington, and California are up in arms
against the proposed increase in
freight rates on Eastern shipments,
which threatens to paralyze the lum-
ber business in the Northwest. That
the mill men of the three states will
stand together to a finish in fighting
the new rates, even to the point OF
appealing to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for relief, if necessary,
was clearly shown by the tone Of the
speeches delivered at the semi annual
dinner Of the Oregon and Washington
Lumber Manufacturers Association
in Portland, Saturday night. Polk
county was we'll represented at this
meeting, among the local mill men in
attendance being George T. Gerl-
niger, of the Willamette Valley Lum-
ber Company; B. @. Miles, of the
Dallas Lumber Company: w. t.
Grier and G. A. Griswold, of the Falls
City Lumber Company Hon. Walter
L. Tooze, of Falls City, was one of the
principal speakers, his subject being
Effect curtailment Of lumber indus
try would have on the commercial
interests of the Willamette Valley"
The ways and means committee, of
which Mr.. Gerlinger and Mr.. Miles
are members, was given full power to
act in the matter Of securing a return
to former rates, and a large fund was
pledged to aid this committee in car
rying on its work. The lumbermen
declare they will never give up the
fight until the old rate is restored.

HOT AFTERNOON FIRE
Firemen Quickly Subdue Blaze That
Threatens Entire Business POr-
ton of Dallas.

Fire broke out at o'clock this after
noon in the two-story frame building
occupied by the Townsend creamery
and Vaughn's plumbing shop, on
Mill street. The building is located
in block of wooden structures, and
for a few minutes a serious confagra-
tion was threatened but the prompt
arrival and effective work Of two hose
teams quickly subdued the flames,
with comparatively little loss.
The fire started in the roof at the
rear of the building, and had
practically gutted the upper story
before the firemen arrived. Two
streams of water were turned on the
flames, and the blaze was not per-
mitted to spread to the lower story or
to the adjoining building. The beds
and clothing of some young men who
were roomers in the upper story we're
saved, and the only loss was to the
building itself.
The creamery, which had only begun
operations this morning, was not
greatly damaged, farther than a
thorough soaking Of the machinery
by water. Manager Hamilton thinks
he will be able to resume operations in
a day or two. He does not know
whether any ingurance was carried on
the machinery by the company, but
thinks probably there was none.
The building is owned by W. G.
Brown and is not insured. The loss
will amountto about $780, The origin
of the fire is not known.
