LOSS IS MILLIONS lAROE BUSINESS PORTION OP TO RONTO DESTROYED BY FIRE. Daaaage Placed at $12,000,000 Witt $ A, 360,000 ItMrucM Acta lor Seffrere-AI PabUe BaUdlage art Placed at Their DUpoaal-ErecUM at Teaiparary Strectaree Permitted. Toronto, Out. April 22. The total loaa by tha fira whkh destroyed the wholesale district of Toronto last night will, according to tha most conserva tive estimate, reach $12,000,000, the total insurance $3,360,000. Tha area swept by the fire embraces 14 acres, and 9,000 to 10 000 persons aia thrown oat of employment. The work of tearing dowa tha dangerous walls was continued until this after noon. Tha city council this afternoon placed all public buildings and the exhibition grounds at the disposal of tha fire sufferers, amended the fira regulations to allow tha erection of temporary structures, and appointed a committee to wait on tha legislature and secure an act ordering all wires under ground. Tha principal warehouses of tha city were reduced to ashes and nearly 250 fiims were put out of business. The area covered by the fira is three blocks in length and varies from half a block to two blocks in width. Every build ing on Bay street, from MeinJa street southward to tha waterfront, was wiped out and the fire spread on Wellington and Front streets, along the waterfront from this section and tha Eeplamade along the waterfront from this section with Bay Btreet for a boundary for a few hundred feet to a whole block. From the time the fire started on the north side of Wellington Btreet, a short distance east of Bay street, in the E. & 8. Currie manufacturing plant, till it burned itself out at daybreak, there was not a moment when a shift of the wind te the northward would not have resulted in the destruction of the great er pait of the city. ' At a meeting of the Toronto legisla ture tonight, the premier and the leader of the opposition expressed sympathy with the fire sufferers, and it was decided to place a sum of money in the supplemental y estimates for the benefit of the firemen's fund. . It is probable that the prorogation of the legislature, will be indefinitely de layed because of the fire. The burning of the Warwick brothers and Butter building delays the government print ing for this year. The total number of buildings des troyed is 122; the number of fiime affected is 222. IRRIQATION WORKS FOR IDAHO. aovcrameat Decides to Taka la tha Pay etla Valley Project. . Washington, April 22. The govern ment has finally decided to take up the Fayette irrigation project, in Idaho, which contemplates the reclamation of 140,000 acres of land in Boise and Pay ette valleys, by diverting the waters of Boise river. Examinations of this pro ject have been under way for several years, and the department is now con vinced the project is feasable and can be carried out at a reasonable cost. During the coming summer, final surveys will be made for canals and other works, and it is expected that contracts for the construction can be prepared and let by the end of the season. ine ooara oi consulting engineers will consist of II. N. Savage, J. II. Quinton and W. II. Sanders which will soon examine the Umatilla and Mai hear irrigation projects id Eastern Ore eon to determine which of the two is the better adapted for government con etruction. ine report oi in is Doard is likely to lead to the formal adoption of one or the other of these projects. Blizzard Rases lo St. Louis. St. Louis, April 22. A severe storm raged cere today, at tines assuming the proportions of a blizzard.- The storm began with a sleet storm, fol lowed by a fall of 20 degrees of tern peratuie. Following there .was a snow lau oi nve incbes. street traffic was impeded and trains were late. The snow prevented the games between the St. Louis and Chicago national league teams, and St. Louis and Cleveland American league teams, scheduled for today. Five to seven inches of snow fell within radius of 150 miles of St. Louis Flew the BrltUh Flag. Paris, April 22. A dispatch to the Temps from St Petersburg says the Rus sian fleet, while making a reconnais sance just previous to the last attempt to blockade tne entrance to the harbor at Port Arthur, sighted four ships off the Maio Tao islands flying the British flag. After the warships and the forts bad sunk the vessels used by the Japan ese, the Russians identified the sunken hulks as the same British ships previ ously seen off the islands. Tralnrobbers Oct $50,000. . Tiflis, April 22. A tram cn the Trans-Caucasian railway was held up between Novosenakai and Abasha by four armed men, who entered the mail car and,' after binding the officials, escaped with registered letters and val cables worth $50,000. FIND EXCLUSION TOO SSVERB. Seaate Caaamtttea OtJctl ta Mitt Bill Regardtag Chleese. Washington, April 23. Tha general deficiency bill reported by tha senate committee on appropriations carries $11,342,149, an increase aa it passed tha house of $940,525. It contains as am amendment tha Hitt Cbineaa exclu sion bill, which was accepted by tha house before tha bill was passed. Tha Hitt bill was introduced In the senate by Fenroee and referred to the commit tee oa foreign relations. In this com mittee the discovery, it is said, has been made that tha bill will affect the introduction of Chinese coolie labor in to the Panama canal sone, and to a considerable extent affect the immigra tion to this country of Cor earn and Fil ipinos and the deportation from the United States, ITawaii, Porto Rico and any teiritorvy, "subject to the jurisdic tion of the United States of any person held to come within the definition of the words "Chinese persons," and ob jection has been made to the far reach ing effects of the bill. When the senate committee on for eign relations began considertion today of the Chinese bill it was suggested that the bill might be of wider scope than was at first thought. Sections defining the words "Chinese person" were called to notice, and it was sug gested that these' might be held to re late to Filipinos, Coreans and others not intended to be included, and that the purpose of the bill might be in con flict with the existing treaties. It was late when the discovery was made, and finally the members of the committee concluded that no action should be taken on the Penrose bill in view of the fact that the Hitt amendment was reported in the deficiency bill, but that the matter might be discussed in open senate. It is understood an attempt will be made to amend the measure be fore the deficiency bill passes the senate. FLEB FROM JAPANESE. Rwaataas are Rapidly Croat! a g tha Yala Maar are Drowsed. Niu Chwang, April 23. A messen ger from the Yam river reports that the Japanese outposts are near the Rus sian intienchments with large bodies of troops five miles distant. He also states the Russians are fleeing north across the river in overcrowded boats, losing hundreds by drowning. The messenger himself met only a few of the Japanese, bat they were reported to have shown themselves in force on various occasions, afterward quickly disappearing. The newspaper correspondents ac credited to the Russian forces have left for Mukden. -They bind themselves not to divulge news respecting the re sults of engagements, or give any in formation which may awaken public uneasiness. - The Russians have issued placards in Chinese explaining away the Jap anese victories, detailing Russian suc cesses, magnifying the Russian strength, and prophesying victory for Rassia. The Chinese are not misled, but still believe tha Japanese will con quer in Manchuria. RUSSIA HOLDS IT BACK. Bxtcnt at Disasters to Her Arms Can- not Be Sent Out. Paris, April 22. The Yinkow corres pondent of the Paris Journal says he has tried tepeatedly to ascertain the ex tent of the recent disasters to the Rus sian arms, and be has tailed to do so because of the perfectly-organized sec recy of the Russians. In his conclud ing statement, he says: '.'The people., of France will be obliged to be satisfied with notices marked 'official' or semi-official state ments sent from Harbin, or Mukden many miles removed from the actual scene of war. I am close to Port Arthur, and might give the true ver sion of many incidents, the news of which, as published, has been mere conjecture, but the Russians strictly forbid all communications of land or sea events. At the moment of rending this message, grave happcisgs are pro ceeding on the peninsula; In fact, I am told that another battle is being fierce ly contested in the neighborhood of Port Arthur it Boitlsh Sympathy Much Appreciated. St. Petersburg, April 23. While ac cepting gratefully the world-wide ex pressions of sympathy which Russia has received at the death of Vice Ad miral Makaroff and the Petropavlovsk disaster', the papers seem especially im pressed with the sympathy shown by the British press, several using tbe text to argue on the opportuneness of the decision in favor of a Russo-British treaty. The Novisky says: "A sin cere approachment with Great Britain would guarantee our future develop ment" .Skrydtoff Given Full Pawer. Paris, April 23. The correspondent of the Echo de Paris at St. Petersburg says that in the course of tbe audience between the emperot and Vice Admiral Skiydloff, his majesty conferred npon the admiral full power to act at Port Arthur in accordance with the necessi ties of tbe moment. The rumor that $ 1Q,Q00,000 in cash went down with the battleship Petropavlovsk, the corre spondent also says, is declared to be unfounded. Koaropatkln Waits for Mora Troops. Paris, April 23. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Journal says friend of General Kouropatkin baa re ceived r letter from him in which the generr says he intends to await the ar rivaJ f another 100,000 men before risk jg a battle with the Japanese. ' I HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON SCHOOL MONEY LENT. Fear MUba Dollars Are New Drawing Cent. I at treat at t Pel Salem Tha state of Oregon now has $4,000,000 of school funds drawing in terest at an average of 6 per cent. This is the largest sum the state ever bad drawing interest and it represents the limit of the irreducible school fund, for a number of years hence, at least. The revenue from this fund will be about $210,000 per year, and from this the expenses of runulng tha state land de- partmnet mutt be paid, amounting to less than $10,000 per year, leaving about $230,000 to be distributed an nually among the counties of the state upon the basis of school population. The apportionment this year will be reduced somewhat by reason of repay ments of interest received from pur chasers of land where the title faill. Of this total of $4,000,000, about $3,500,000 is in the form of loans and $500,000 is in the foim of deferred payments on sales of school land. Of the loans, $3,250,000 is out on real es tate mortgage securities paying 6 per cent interest. The other $250,000 Is invested in school district bonds bear ing 5 per cent interest. The $500,000 due on sales of land is drawing intereet at 6 and 7 per cent. An average rate of intereet on the whole $4,000,000, is 6 per cent. Less than a year ago the state treas ury contained $725,000 of idle money in the school fund. There was then little prospect that this money would soon be put out at Interest, but several circumstances have combined to create a demand for the school funds. It will be the policy of the board to favor small borrowers, as the money will benefit more people In this way. In all the loans that have been made the board has been careful to . accept only gilt edge security, and it is believ ed there is not a loan outstanding that would show a loss even if hard times should bring about a decline in real estate values.

Astoria During September, 1902, Fish 'Warden Van Dusen secured a number of small salmon tbat had been kept in fresh water for several months and placed them in the Astoria reser voir. Recently tne reservoir was emptied for the purpose of cleaning it and tbe fish were taken out by Deputy Webster. The largest of the fish was only about 15 inches in length, show ing conclusively that the salmon need salt water to develop them. The. effect of this experiment will be to overthrow the theory tbat the salmon fry should be kept in fresh watei as long as possible before being turned out and permitted to make their way to sea. Planting of Sugar Beets. La Giande F. S. Braawell, field supei intendent of the La Grande sugar factory, etaets that the present pros pects for a large acreage of suear beets are very flattering. The total beet acreage last year was 1,800 acres, and this "Vear 2,800 acres are assured. The company itself is seeding 1,800 acres this year. Experiments are also being made in several sections of Umatilla county in the matter of growing sugar beets. Seeding is in progress in every section of the county, although foot hill ranchers are a little behind. School Loans Approved. " Salem The state land board has ap proved applications for loans from the school fund to the amount of $100,000. These are the applications that were pending when it was announced recent ly that the idle surplus will soon be placed out at interest. Even when the bui plus has been lent, there will be funds available from time to time as those who have borrowed in the past make repay ment or purchasers of school land pay their annual installments. Cannera to Use Oil for Fuel. Astoria Several of the canners and cold storage men have decided to nse crude oil in place of wood for fuel in their plants. Contracts have been made foi oil at 90 cents a bairel, with the guarantee that 2 barrels of oil will equal a cord of tbe best fir wood. As the latter now sells at $4.25 per cord, the change will effect quite a sav ing in the fuel bills. OREOON CREAM STANDS TEST. Coadeaaed Prod act Adapted ta Orltatal aad Alatkaa Use. Hlllsboro Tha directors of tha Ore gon Condensed Milk company, of "this city, and who manufacture tha Ormron Grape brand of evaporated cream, have received word from tha Kelly-Clark company, exporters of evaporated ci earns to Alaska and the Orient, that the recent test by the Holman refriger ator company, subjecting this cream to extreme heat and cold, has been veiy successful. The cream, in cans, was subjected to a heat ranging from 118 to 160 degrees, and several cana were froien in a solid block of ice for 10 days. After the tests were made the cans were openel and there was no separation whatever, proving that the Oregon Grape cream is excellent for Alaska and Oriental shipment. This is naturally ot great Interest to shippers, as both these fields draw heavily from Oregon for export cream. The Hillsboro factory is- the largest west of the Mississippi river, and was the first established in Oreiron, and this recent test establishes the manu facture of evaporated cream as a sue- cessful and permanent enterprise. Warehoates are Nearly Empty. Pendleton About a quarter of a mil lion bushels ot last year's wheat crop in this county remains unsold, and nearly all the sold portion has been moved, leaving the Umatilla ware houses comparatively empty. The wheat still held is principally in small lota, 10,000 to 15,000 bushels being about the largest. Moat of it is residue of crops already partly sold. The market is quite inactive, quotations being made only on request. From 65 to 66 cents has been the ruling price on club for several days. Fair Haa the Fonda. Portland An official document at testing that the Lewis and Clark expo sition has $600,000 available funds has been dispatched to Washington. The document, bearing the signature of President II . W. Scott and Secretary Henry Reed, is required by provi sion of the appropriation bill, and must be presented to the treasury department before the $450,000 covered by the gov ernment's appropriation may, be touched. DlvUloa af Wade Property. Pendleton A report oi the sale of C. B. Wado's portion of the Wade blooded herd has been filed with Ref eree in Bankruptcy Fitzgerald. .The proceeds ot Wade lutereat amount to $3,912.53. ThU brings the total amount derived from the sale of per sonal property up to $18,581.29, which is over $3,000 above the appraised val ue.. The first dividends will be declared in behalf of creditors this week. Beginning to Make Proof. Alba Members of the co-operative colony, which holds 15 or 20 home steads and which was originally com posed el Umatilla county teachers, are beginning to make commutation proof The colonists have their united hold' ings leased to. cattlemen. Most of them will reside on their filings this summer. PORTLAND MARKETS. Wheat Walla Walla, 73 74c; blue stem, 81c: valley, 8183c.

Such a seat would AM ADJCSTABLB WA0O SI AT. be very handy to use when doing rough hauling, while It might not be sufficiently attractive to use on the road. It la comfortable, which la the main point to be considered. aUklaar Draft U01 There Is one thing that the man who Is trying to raise big horses should not overlook and tbat Is plenty of food for the colts. A draft-bred colt that has not enough to eat will not make a draft horse he will be a chunk of some grade, not heavy enough for a draft horse. Some peo ple claim that draft colts will not re quire any more feed than colts of a lighter breed. That Is an error, Tbey do require more, but not so much In proportion to their size as does the light horse, because they are of a quiet disposition and put more of their feed Into growth and less Into exer cise or nervous fretting than the light horse. But' no big horse will be pro duced If the feed Is lacking. Give the colts enough to keep them growing, and they will pay a good price for all they eat when the time comes to sell them. At a sale In Ohio last week draft geldings coming 4 years old sold to feeders at $200 to $283 a head. When feeders can afford to pay such prices for horses to fatten for, market there is nothing wrong wltblhe draft horse business. But there were no stunted colts la the bunch that sold for these figures. Three Iloreea to a Wagon. Here's a device for hitching three horses to a wagon. The method Illus trated substitutes two wagon poles for one, the middle horse between tbe two M I if 1 ' 1 ill r" 1 H THBII-HOnSK DIVICK. poles or shafts. There are two neck yokes and a triple evencr. The mid dle horse has one-third of each double tree, making two-thirds of both, while each outside horse has two-thirds of the evener he Is hitched to. Sanitary Straw Hog Hon. The best bogbouse on earth Is made by eettlng two rows of fence posts one foot In ground and four feet apart one way, and one post length apart, the other way, so posts may be used for stringers on top. Put cord wood cross wise on top of stringers and build straw pile over all, leaving hole In one end big enough for a hog to enter. They will all follow in and complete Interior arrangement of house to suit their hoggish artistic taste. ' , This house will always be dry and comfortable and will save many a heated argument with the hired man airaut cleaning put and bedding the hogs. Hogs can be fed out of doors, or a board feeding room may be built at one end of stack with door 'be tween. In summer, pull out posts and burn straw hoghouse, haul out refuse and build new each year. Then you will have healthy hogs, avoid mange and many other parasites. I winter 80 hogs every year In this kind of a bouse. A. A. Andrews, North Dakota Ueee of Canned Ego-. The nse of refrigerator eggs has be come ao widespread as to cover a greater part of the habitable earth. There has been a great trade in can ned eggs recently. - Large quantities of canned eggs are bought by confec tioners, and they are also used in the manufacture of linen. Several coun tries supply eggs for such purposes, but the supply is not equal to the de mand. Large Importations of canned eggs come from Russia, Germany and Denmark. These usually arrive ta large packages and are packed lo some ULknown preaervaUve and are hermet ically sealed. The air Is excluded la some manner, as It will not do to beat them as In canning fruit, as that would destroy the value of the prod uct. Science la still doing wonders, and we may be able to have fall con trol of the egg trade of the whole world In the near future. Great strides have already been taken, but there to room for more Improvement readies Oate la the Sheaf. One of the first things I leaned when a boy was that feeding sheaf oats to horses was wasteful. Howsver. I had to do tt last fall and I now wish I bad aaved a portion of my thrash ing bill that way. Several years ago I read of a certain farmer condemning a cow because she leaked her milk, while he bad other cows that did not pay their keep, although they did not leak their milk, while the first cow paid well In spite of her leakage. Now, In tbe case of my horses, I have known them to pass oats with their manure In so perfect a state that they would grow, and no scheme ot driv ing nails in the bottom of their feed boxes, putting In stones or having their teeth flatted by a horse doctor had any effect on them. But lot wheo 1 fed there sheaf oata, not the first vestige of aa oat could be aeeo la their manure. Now. what difference does it make where or how tbe oata are wasted? And If a few plga could have access to tbe stable when tbe horses were out la the field, it seem to ms that sheaf oata would have the best end of the argument Farm, Btock and Home. Bemorliur Wart a froaa Uor Take about four leaves of strong cured tobacco, place them in a vessel. pour about one-half gallon ot water over them, place on tbe fire, letting tt boll down to a strong Juice, and apply to the wart Always pick tbe wart ao as to make It bleed before the appli cation, that It may strike Into tbe fun gous growth. A few applications will aoon do the work; gradually the en largement will decrease and disappear as If by magic. As an evidence of ita efficacy, some years ago a horse that we drove had a bleeding wart on his back that tlij lines kept continually bleeding. It waa about the slse of a walnut with a neck about the else ot one'a Index finger. I would occasion ally sprinkle a few crumbs of tobacco on It from my pocket d the wart went away. I have removed wart aa large as a pint cup from horses' Irga by taking the tobacco leaves, dipping them tn hot water and binding them to the affected part Try tt and you will be rewarded for your trouble." Exchange. Oeeae oa Lowland. Geese are extremely hardy and long lived. They thrive on low-lying landa which would not be suitable for fowls. Old pasture Is beat suited to their re quirements, as tbey crop the grass very short and would likely destroy the roots of newly sown grass. Tbey must be afforded -liberty and lota of grassy range. They are very coarse feeders and will eat nearly anything la the shape of green food. Although It is dealrable to batch early, tt is not always advisable, as It depends upon the climate and location. Goslings need grass, and do not thrive unless green food is supplied when they can not get range. Importance of the Hen. It Is estimated that the production of chickens tn the United Stares last year reached 8,330,000,000, and of eggs thirteen billion. The total-value waa $200,000,000. The true Importance of the poultry business will, however, be better appreciated by the following comparisons: Our annual wool clip la about $28,000,000; sheep. $05,000,000; swine, $180,000,000; cotton, $250,000,- 000; wheat $227,000,000; tobacco, $43,- 000,000; potatoes, $80,000,000; barley, $30,000,000; oats, $200,000,000. Onr Butter State. The manufacture and consumption of butter In the United Stater Is con stantly growing. In 1870 we made 615,000,000 pounds,' while thirty years later, In 1000, we made nearly three times as much 1,492,000,000 pounds. Of the great butter-producing States Iowa comes first New York second. and the others In the following order: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illi nois, Minnesota, Michigan, Kansas, Indiana. Farm Notes. An important item in stock feeding Is regularity. Long feet are frequently the causa of lameness in horses. It If a waste of feed to give more than an animal can digest With all stock, food may be wasted by giving too much or too little. Sheep, when being fattened, should have protection from wet and cold. With all stock, there Is no single feed that possesses only good quali ties. Early pampering suould be avoided if mature and healthy development Is desired. - . Tbe sheep raiser who is not progres sive cannot expect to attain perfection In his calling. Labor, even on the farm, Is most ef fective when directed by intelligence and thought To Injudicious feeding may be cred ited a large amount of the fatality among hogs. - ; The brood sow should have plenty of nourishing food such as will cauB a healthy growth ' Without too much fat .. ,. ..... - .Variety of live stock on a farm quite as much as variety of cropping Is a source of wealth accumulation In tha holding. - t
