After trapse of ten years, the mystery of the disappearance -iif S.

The disappearance of Davis iten years ago was one of the greatest ,;mysterUj of Oregon. An examina tion of nre skeleton shows it is prob- ynniy mat or Davis and that he waE - murdered.

If : JDIAMOOO Bmrm IW Purine Kn F mm illvpljir M ail I UkntMHldi 3 ASK- h lltlMUMrfini IS HARRLMAN STILL ' FOOLING WITH OREGON? Two strong Indications that Harrl man is Btlll "playing horso" with Ore gou, so far as railroad building is concerned, have developed in the last day or two. 'In the first place, despite his reiterated promises that the road p the Deschutes River would be be gun In the near future, Harriman stated, yesterday, before leaving San Antonio, Texas, tor New York, that the public need not "expect any ex tensions of railroads until conditions have chauged materially." The other significant thing is that W. W. Cotton, general counsel for the 0. R. & N., has received official advices from Washington that noth ing will be done on this project un til the Department of the Interiqr has sent a couple of special agents out' here to check up the conflicting loca tions of the various routes surveyed and have reported back to their chief. This will, no doubt, take several months, If the dilatory tactics of the Harriman people is any criter ion. .What' Harriman meant in his statement by saying "until conditions ave changed," nobody but himself knows, but the advices received by wire from Washington by Judge Cot ton, are definite and clear. The tele gram Is from A. A. Hochling, a Har riman attorney at Washington. He says: . "The secretary says that after a full conference with Director Newell, he has decided to refer the Deschutes river railroad situation to two special ageints of the reclamation service for examination In the field as to the mat ter of conservation of water resources at that place, and ask for a speedy report, thus passing the matter over the next administration. I rPT-t that this is so, but have feared it for somo time." It Is clear, from the last sentence. that tho Harriman officials who have been working on the project havo had no idea that the road could be otton under way for some time, and yet, local officials and even Harriman himself have been repeatedly misrep resenting the situation to the pub lic. These features of the situation which newspaper criticism has brought out during the past two or tnree months are absolute corrobora tlon of the statement made to a Tele ?ram man during the holidays by an official who is In a position to tnow. to the effect that "not a shovel- "ul of dirt would bo turned on the entrnl Oregon extension within the next six months.' It looks now as If ie would have been just as safe In waning it iz instead of bIx months. Portland Telegram. HAWAII, A LAND OF PEACE, Ten years ago the white residents in Hawalll considered bolts and bars and locks on their houses as almo3t supernuous. Almost nobndv took the trouble to lock their doors at nignt, and burglary was a crime al most unknown in the Territory. This was irue even In Honolulu and main tains In many country districts even today. The Hawalinns were never Slven to thievery or crimes of vio lence, and a century ago it used to be the boast of the kings that a wo man or child was safe to sleep by me roaasiae in any part of the do main. Civilization, however, has broueht to the Islands the uncivilized trails of human character, and now locks and keys are only less numerous than in otner parts of the world. The Hawaiian still maintains his Drln clples of honesty, but with tho Influx or races from all parts of the earth It is not strange that the old time feeling of security In person and nronertv Is IpMpninv Rvan however, It Ib doubtful if aAy other place of like population can show as low a record of crime as does the city or Honolulu, with Its 45,000 In habitants, of almost every race and coior. o C.

Russia Probable Foe, but, Nippon Al so Iiookinf for Troublo Across tho Pacific Ocrnn, LONDON, March 4. Japan Is pre paring for another war. England knows it and eo does the rest of Eu rope. That Russia Is to be the foe is not doubted' in many official quar--ters; but the fact is not overlooked hat Japan Is preparlug for possible eventualities across the Pacific. arwui has been building up her army and navy since tho close of tho war with Russia. It 18 announced that at the annual military maneuv ers next fall the Japanese Emperor will review an army of nearly n mil lion men. The army has been re organized, and is now thoroughly equipped and all who followed the Mikado s armies in Manchuria know what Japan means by thorough equip ment. But it Is on the navy that Japan has expended her greatest eifort. Since the war with Russia the ship yards, steelworks, armor and gun factories of J a turn have been engaged almost day and night. Prlvato ship yards and gun factories have been subsidized. The fleet with which Togo whipped tho Russian armada Is being strengthened beyond all present needs. Japan's XhvmI Strength. Sir W. H. White, former chief nnval constructor In the British navy, In an article In "Thd Spectator," gives seme Idea of Japan's naval strength. Ho Eays: "Japan in the year 1908 had 12 powerful battleships and 13 armored cruisers, with an aggregate displace ment of 315,000 tons, most of which are lcss-thnu 15 yDars old. In addi tion, thero aro 19 protected cruisers of modern types and high speed,- 52 destroyers, nearly as many first-class torpedo boats, 1 1 submarines, and irany small vessels. Tho mercantile marine can furnish all necessary aux iliaries colliers, store and ammuni tion ships, etc., as lt'did during the war with Russia. "Tho vcsselB In construction, It Is reported. Include two or thrco very large battleships' and two or more armored cruisers exceeding In di mensions tho Invincible class of the British navy. For tho moment tho rato of expenditure on these vesselB will apparently be somewhat reduced from Iriiat originally contemplated becauso of the financial position' ot the country; but thero Ib no inten- ; j ! ; tlon to abandon or curtail the pro gramme. No authoritative official statement 'Of that programmo has been made. : rrogriimmo for 1015. "it has been rumored that Japan Intends to have available for service in 1915 20 battleships and 20 arm ored crulsors, none of which shall ex ceed 20 years In age; fourteen scouts and swift cruisers, 100 destroyers, 50 submarines and various small or aux- ltltnl - v .an.nl. I'M., nruHin.,. nn be completed without difficulty if funds are forthcoming, but it would mean au Increased annual expendi ture on shipbuilding. In recent years about $15,000,000 has been spent each yenr on new construction and armaments, and the total naval expenditure haB been between $45,- 000,000 and $50,000,000, very mod erate figures as compared with those for the leading European navies nnd that of the United States. . As matters stand, Japan posses ses a fleet ready for Bervice which no European nation could hope to overpower without detaching for ser vice in the Far East such a large pro portion ot Its nnval force as would dangerously weaken Its position visa-vis to other European powers, and thuB Involve risks too serlo'us for acceptance. Isolation Aids Nippon. "All maritime countries lucludV lug tho United States-s-must be at a serious disadvantage In conducting a naval campaign against Japan be cause of their great distance from that country. The permanent naval bases which foreign navies possess in the Far East are, moreover, so sit uated or of such a character that no country not excluding Great Brit ain could undertake naval opera Hons In the China sea on equal terms with Japan. "Theso geographical advantnges aro- fully understood aud utilized by the Japanese government, which Is content with a navy that in numbers and types, but not In efficiency. Is confessedly Inferior to tho Btnndard thought necessary by France, Ger many and the United States. Conse ancntly a much more moderate navnl expenditure has proved sufficient hitherto aud will probably continue to serve. TO THE PUBLIC.

Hoy nf 10 and His Dog Rags Tlirro Monster Mountain Lions. SPOKANE, Wash., March 4. In to tho county commissioner's office at Coeur d'Akme, Idaho, Roy Peters, a 19-year-old lad from St. Maries, who is known near his home as "Fighting Bob Evans, walked with the skins of three big cougars, all of which he hod killed with tho aid ot "Old Ben", ' the best known cougar dog In the St. Maries country. Tho largest of the skins, that of a male cougar, was nine feet from tip to tip, but those jof the two females were nearly as large. Petera killed tho cougars near Santa, in the loops of tho St. Maries river. The hound had trailed the "varmints" through the snow and treed them. It took the boy but 20 minutes to bring all three down. Beside tho bounty of $15 each giv en him by the county, the boy will realize from $10 to $15 for each ot the skiiiB, making the adventure worth $75 or more to him. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. D. R.
