RESIST RICE EXPLOITATION.


Pekin, April 25.- Attacks upon
magistrates and several mission build
ing at Changteh Flu and reports of dis.
turbances at other points in Human
province have aroused diplomatic cir
cles. Concern is felt lest the trouble
started in Changsha may develop wide
Significance.
The Chinese government, fearing
revolutionaries may take advantage OF
the unrest growing out Of the food sit
uation, Is taking stringent measures to
suppress disorder. Fuller advices
from Chsngsha emphasize that the
rioting is not primarily due TO anti
foreign feeling, but was turned against
foreigners only upon the discovery
that the governors efforts TO prevent
the expectation of rice were baked
largely through foreign influence.
Thousands are on the verge Of starva-
tion, owing to the failure Of the crops.
Several weeks ago the governor. to
prevent high prices, prohibited all ex-
portation of rice. British and Japan
ese merchants and shippers engaged
In the rice trade protested TO their re-
spective legations at Pekin in an effort
to induce the diplomatic corps as
body to protest. This was frustrated
by the refusal Of the American and
German legations to join.
The British and Japanese then pro-
tested TO the Wal WI Pu, which, In
view Of the treaties now In force, was
compelled to instruct the
governor that he must postpone his in
hibition Of exports. A jump In the
price Of the peoples food quickly fol-
lowed the suspension Of the inhibition,
and drove the poor In desperation TO
wreck the government buildings, and
afterwards consulates, missions and |
,ther foreign buildings.

MosIER DISTRICT DRAWS.
Picturesqueness Of County One OF Its
Features-72 Miles From Portland

Picturesqueness Of County One OF III
Features--72 Miles From Portland
The Mosier fruit district Is rapid,
drawing to itself the attention Of fruit
land investors. The Mosier country
lies on number of hills and ridges
radiating somewhat like the fingers Of
the hand. From these various ridges
many beautiful views are obtained, oft.
en- including Mt. Hood and Mt. Ad-
ans, and glimpses Of the Columbis
river. The picturesqueness of the
country is one Of its features, and
many will find there pleasing country
homes within 72 miles Of Portland. In
fact, many Portland people have al
ready settled there, and others have
holdings Of real estate in that district
which they are developing.
The orchardists at Mosier follow
their sister district of Hood River.
The trees are set out after the cleared
ground has been well prepared. From
55 to SO trees to the acre, for an apple
orchard, is the prevailing rule.
Many plant peach "fillers" between
the rows of apple trees, to be taken out
when they begin to crowd. Intense
is the secret, and the price
of these successfully grown orchards, a
lust mulch conserving the moisture
and the absence Of weeds allowing the
trees to get the full strength Of the
,oil. Cultivation usually ceases by
he middle Of August. Many put in q
,over crop, Of vetch or rye, which,
when plowed under adds fertility and
,umus TO the soil.
The favorite varieties Of apples at
Mosier are the Spitzenberg and Yellow
a. the soil and climate are
adapted TO their perfect
growth and maturity. Peaches, pears
md prunes also do well.
