Here it comes again. American
goods are growing in popularity every
where. But we should sell a great
many more dollars worth of our prod
uCts abroad if we took a little more
trouble. Special Agent Roland R.
Dennis Of the department of commerce
and labor writes: Il had a most inter-
esting conversation with the principal
importer and dealer in American inn
plementS in Genoa. He has lived sew
eral years in the United States, has
an American wife and is great be-
lever in the possibilities of the Ameri
can implement trade in Italy if our
manufacturers would only be more
careful and thorough i'll conducting
their foreign trade That if means,
the special agent gives American
manufacturers to understand, that if
they would put forth more effort to
meet the tastes of foreign customers
pack their goods more carefully and
look more thoroughly into all the con-
ditions in foreign countries they would
do more business in that direction
And American consular representa-
tives have said the same thing before.

China's Future.


Bishop August Henninghaus OF
Shang- Tung, speaking as a Christian
worker in a promising mission field,
Feinforces and to a large extent cor
Eoborates what WI Ting Fang, the
Chinese minister to the United States,
has said as the official representative
of his people and his government. Mr..
Wu has told in vivid language OF the
advance China has made and OF the
much greater advance the Celestial
empire is preparing to make. Bishop
Henninghaus says: There is new
China coming in a few years, and,
when it does, the country will not fall
back in the rut 1t is the most i'm
portant time in its history, and there
is a great awakening. The dynasty is
weak, and it is hard to predict what
will be the outcome. But there is a
new China coming, and one radically
different from the present country"
The new China is likely to mean
many changes in methods as well as
in ideas. There may be some clashing
before all the readjustments are made.
But one Of the most hopeful features
of the case, in the opinion of the Troy
IN. " Times, is the liberal and pro-
gressive spirit that is being developed
by those most likely to be put in
places Of power and responsibility.
The leaven of westernism is working
in the Chinese body polite, while a
great many sturdy virtues which the
Chinese nation possesses are likely to
be retained. The United States may
be credited with large share of this
desirable transformation, for many of
the present generation of progressive
Chinese have had their ideas broad
ened through being educated here or
otherwise brought into contact with
the best American influences

WORK is STARTED
ON S25,OOO PLANT
Mill Will Have Daily Capacity OF 25
Tons and Will Employ Ten Men
j. f. Murphy Of Portland, the
Builder-Also Leases Henrietta
Mills for Period OF Five Years.

Echo, Ore, July S.-(Special to
the East Oregonian. Work on a
$4,000 alfalfa meal mil was COM
menced in this city this morning by
j. +. Murphy of Portland,
The mill is to have a capacity of
% tons every "a hours and will en-
ploy about 10 men the year around.
The building is to be fire proof
throughout being constructed en-
tirely of steel, iron and concrete. 1t
will be 80 feet wide, 60 feet long and
IS feet to the ewes.
Murphy has also leased the large
Henrietta FIGURING mills for a period
of five years and will operate them
in connection with his alfalfa plant,
thus insuring the operation of two
big industries for this city.
The erection of the alfalfa meal
plant also means that Echos suprem-
acy as a stock feeding and shipping
center is to be continued and increas-
ed. The capacity Of the mill, how
ever, will more than supply the local
demand for a number of years at
least.

COST OF BARNES TRIAL.
Walla Walla County Must Pay S235S
for Murder Case.

Walla Walla, July S.-Now that
Bud" Barnes has been tried twice,
found guilty and sentenced to be
hanged by the neck until dead" there
is a general curiosity as to the actual
expense Of the two cases.
According to the cost bills the jury
fees for the first trial amounted to
s53O.S0, and for the second trial to-
tailed $4S2.3O making a grand total
of $1013.10. Witness fees in the two
cases came to exactly the same
amount, having been s460.70 for each
trial, and making a total Of $921.40.
The witness fees and jury fees togeth-
er with the bailiff's fees of S4S for
the first trial and s24 for the second
trial amounted to $200S.50.
The cost bill for sheriff's fees has
not yet been compiled, and no estimate
of the expense attached to the trial
through the services of the sheriff's
office has been made, though it is
thought that $3.50 or 5000 will fully
cover that part of the expense, bring
ing the grand total up to s225S or
$2S5S.

Though no action has yet been TAX

Of the police committe to reduce the
size Of the police force and after the
first of the month the number of Of
ficers will be lessened by at least one
man.
At present there are two day men,
Chief of Police Gurdane and Officer
Sheer while the night work is done
by officers John and Clarence Kear-
ney. Ii is now the intention to do
with but one day man in the future
but II is regarded as unsafe to reduce
the number of night men at present,
Since prohibition went into effect
here there has really been little do
ing" for the police. But one solitary
man found at the corner of Webb and
Main streets the day after the cele-
bration at Walla Walla. Aside from
that one man the police nave made no
arrests except in two instances where
men were found fighting. Since the
first of July the city bastile has been
deserted castle.
Another effect of prohibition, and
It is one that lessons police work, is
found in the depopulation of the ten
derloin. Since the first of the month
one half or two thirds Of the inmates
of the red light district have left for
parts distant.
This fact, together with the passing
Of the drunks, has greatly lessened
the troubles of the night officers, for
in the past their hardest work grew
out of troubles incident to the ten
derloin.
Should the police force be reduced
Il will be up to Chief of Police Cur
dane to select the men to remain. AS
all three of his deputies are "tried
and trusty' men he will doubtless
have difficulty in making a selection
At present the chief Of police receives
salary Of $110 per month, while
the deputies receive $S5 per month.
The city recorder draws a salary Of
sS5 per month and the city attorney
$75 per month.

FIRST CROP REPORT
SHOWS GOOD YIELD.

The first report Of threshing to
reach the grain dealers Of the city is
that Of the Dave Nelson farm. four
miles northwest, where wheat is yield
ing from 2j to 80 bushels per acre,
an average crop. As this is in the

Is especially gratifying and it is be-

will show that a good wheat yield is
to be enjoyed by Umatilla county
farmers this year, despite the pessi-
mistic reports.
Barley is yielding from 10 to 20
sacks per acre in the south part of
the county, which is a fair crop, con-
sidering that no rain has fallen during
