GENERAL NEWS OF NATIONAL HAPPENINGS
CHINA TURBULENT.
State Department Advised of Serious
Conditions in Provinces.


Washington-China is reported to be
on the verge of another upheaval SINH
lar to the Boxer uprising and the lives
of foreigners are in jeopardy. Recent
advices from government officials in
China express the belief that an out
break at any time would not surprise
them. The State department has in
structed officials to maintain a close
watch on international conditions.
All through the summer months
there have been mutterings of discon-
tent in some of the Chinese provinces,
due to the rice famine, dynastic differ
ences and dissatisfaction over acts of
the Pekin government as to foreign
investments in China.
Good harvests mitigated, to some
extent, the gravity of the situation,
but there is still general feeling of
unrest, according to personal letters
received here from men on duty in that
quarter, The army and navy are pre-
pared for any emergency, but their
readiness is solely a precautionary
measure, and should be taken as an in
dication of immediate danger.

WHOLE COAST is CHECKED UP
Suggestion of Fraud in One City
Arouses Doubt AS to All.

Washington-The probability is that
the census returns of every city Of
any consequence on the Pacific coast
will undergo thorough investigation
before the figures are given out.
Three experts from the bureau are or
the Coast already and the sending OF
several more men to assist them is
contemplated.
Director Durand continued to apply
the soft pedal in speaking of the sus-
picions of padding. 1t has been con-
fidently expected that the totals for
San Francisco would be given out this
week, but it seems that some subordi-
mates in the bureau had found new
cause for inquiry and as a result the
report for the city is again held indefi-
nitely.
Mr.. Durand declares emphatically
that the probability of sweeping in
vestigation does not mean that all the
Pacific Coast is under suspicion of
padding. 1t would seem that his prin-
ciple of operation is that if one city is
found to have padded reports then all
Coast cities are to be mistrusted. Sew
eral months have elapsed since the
enumeration, the work of going over
the reports is difficult and tedious, and
the time within which publicity of Pa
cific Coast totals might be expected
is in an offhand way extended to "a
month or more.
Hawaii alone is above suspicion.
The count was under the direction of
an expert sent directly from Washing
ton. The totals have been sent to
Hawaii's governor that he might in
corporate them in his annual report,
but are being withheld until a segega-
tion of the races can be made.

A PHASE OF SPRING.
The Wandering Orchestra n Feature
Which PIeases Nearly Everyone.

The Wandering Orchestra n Featur'
Which PIeases Nearly Everyone.
The season Of the year has come
when the wandering orchestra goes
around, cornet, clarinet and barytone
and last but not least the big bass
horn, says the New York Sun. Cornet
may shrek and clarinet creak and
then barytone soften things some, but
for grand effects, vast thunder in tone,
all depends on the big bass horn.
Hear its rumble and rebound, its
swelling surge of sound, its deep and
mighty oomph-ah! Let the cornet
squeak and the clarinet bleat and the
barytone mildly ponder-lost, all lost,
submerged and swallowed up in the
bass horns mighty thunder.
Spring is the season when the wan
dering band comes, when the weather
mellows and people open their win
dows, and generally 1t seeks the In
terror courts of flats and apartment
houses, where its audience flatters it.
self with the fancy that this is a pri-
vate concert given to it alone and is
willing to pay accordingly.
But the band has its vicissitudes.
Sometimes 1t is cut off abruptly In the
middle of the first number by an OBJ
durate janitor who comes in and says
"Skiddool" Sometimes somebody looks
out Of a window and says softly, "Sh-h!
You mustn't play here. Somebody
sick" Then as the news works around
to all the players the music peters out
with a wall; but commonly the band
is welcome, and now the cornet
screams, and now, now hear the big
horn boom, with avalanche-like rever-
berations within those enclosing walls.
Loud as it is ever, yet for some rea-
son or other it always sounds loudest
now in the spring. This may be be-
cause people have missed 1t through
the winter, and now it comes as some
thing new, but the more likely reason
is that the bass horn man stores up
thunder in the winter, which he turns
loose in greatest volume In the vernal
season, when he first brings the horn
into play.
Be that as it may, there is no sound
that so appeals to people as that Of the
big bass horn, in whose deep and bill
lowing and all pervading roar Niagars
and Vesuvius are combined.

COREAN ANNEXATION AIDS.
Japanese Control Assures Protection

rectly with Toxic in the securing of

Carshops Are DESTROYED.

Tucson, Ariz.-The Southern Pacific
shops here were destroyed by fire Sat
urday night. The loss is estimated at
$3.50, 600. The fire was the second one
within an hour and the cause of neither
is known. Ten locomotives, eighteen
oil tenders and four ballast cars were
destroyed. Immediately across the
yards were the tanks holding 200, 900
barrels of fuel oil, which were barely
saved. Their destruction would have
doomed the entire city. The destruc-
tion of the shops takes from Tucson
her chief industry.

minimum, and he hopes to make the

OREGON APPLES YIELD BEST
Government Report on September
Says Crop is 90 Per Cent Full.


According to statistics compiled by
the department of agriculture, Oregon
leads the United States this year in
apple production. The report shows
that on September Oregon had SO per
cent of full crop, while Washington,
the nearest competitor, had 80 per cent
of full crop.
Furthermore the report shows that
in the whole country there is less than
half crop this season, the percentage
46.8. The crop condition in the West
is the best in any section.
The South Atlantic Coast states show
the next best per cent of a full crop.

third. The report says that the apple
industry in Oregon and the Northwest
is capable of almost unlimited growth.
1t states that Oregon obtains the best
prices of any state for its apples.

Fish Chowder.

A delicious fish chowder may be
made OF any of our fresh water fish.
Clean and boil them, removing the
bones and skin, then shed the fish and
add to the other ingredients prepared
as follows: Fry out a piece of fat salt
pork (half pound, cut in dice), add
half dozen potatoes, sliced three
onions and sufficient water to cover,
cook until the vegetables are tender,
add quart of milk, half a dozen large
crackers. butter and salt to taste.
Serve hot
1t seems too bad that people living
inland should not enjoy the fish
chowders of the seashore; the fresh
fish may take the place Of the salt
water fish and make a dish very little
inferior to the coast chowders.
