HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
PIHST CLIPS SOID.
Kcoarlng Mill at Tbe Dallas Working
Nlht and Day.
The Dalles The scouting mill In
thl city Is now running a double ciew
of sorter daily, and the mill night and
lay, turning out 8,000 ponndi of
scoured product every 24 houri. Tb
wool purchase made Iliui far have
been from stations along the line of the
Northern Pacific in Yakima county,
and at Columbia river point, inch a
The I)lles, Arlington and Kcho, where
the sealed hid plan that wai Inaugurat
ed in the itate three years ago doea not
obtain. The first cllns ihorn ar near
ly all from the warm Columbia river
rangei, which wools are more or less
earthy and ar sought only by dealer
in tbe scoured product.
There seems to be no disposition on
the part of the growers to bold this
clam of wool, and buyer ar apparent
ly glad to take them, aa they are being
absorbed by the dealers ai fait as they
are offered.
The choice Eastern Oregon wools
sought for shipping in the grease,
which are grown hack in the interior,
are now being aown. This class that in
former yean was marketed at The
Dalles, and gave this city the distinc
tion of receiving and shipping more
wool direct from Ihe grower than any
olhet place in the United Htates, has,
luce the completion of the Columbia
Houtbern railway been transferred to
Hlianiko. There the wool are all
offered under the sealed bid system.
The first sale there is set for June 2,
the second for June 14, and the third
and last for July 1.
Pendleton leads off with the first
sealed bid sale ol the season on the 23d
Instant, and lleppner follomi on the
2Uth with Hi first sale. The other two
point in the state where wools will be
offered upon sealed bids aie Baker City
on June 17, and Elgin on June 2H.

avramat Exact t to Invtatlgat
Ir
rlgatiea la Umatilla.
Washington A consultation of irri
gation expert has been ordered at Pen
dleton to determine the merit of the
Umatilla Irrigation project. Tbe re
clamation of between 100,000 and 200,
000 acres of land, lying directly west of
Pendleton, at an elevation ranging from
300 to (100 feet above the lea ii coniid
ered feasible. Examination baa shown
most of this land to be unpatented, and
that the Northern Pacific control! the
greater portion of the patented area.
It has been found impracticable to di
vert water from the Hnake river, near
Riparia, and bring it onto tbia land,
and the experta will determine tbe
feasibility of storing the flood water of
the Umatilla river in a system of res
ervoirs. If it i found such a system I
practicable and that dams can be con
structed on the respective reservoir
sites, and litigation can be avoided,
such a i threatened in Malheur coun
ty, the government will turn it atten
tion to Umatilla, and leave the Mal
heur project to be disposed of later.
I lie government la now lauinea inai
on reservoir in towuibip a norm,
range 25 and 20 east, can be built ifi
bold sufficient water to ret laim 60,000
seres, but before thii project is adopted,
it ii desired to know bow much addi
tional land can be reclaimed by water
stored in imaller reservoir in that vi
cinity which can also be supplied by
flood water fiom Umatilla river. If
tbe board report favorably on its ex
amination, a special effort will be
made to perfect tbe plan for tbia irri
gation project.
Bettor Wool, Wore Mattea.
Pendleton The fact that 12.75 and
more was realized for dry ewea and two
year oldi, two and three year ago,
while buyers are not offering more than
(2 for the same class of stock now, is
not altogether due to condition! in tbe
mutton market, though price have
fallen considerably. Tbe tendency of
Umatilla county sheepmen to breed for
wool since good prices prevailed is low
ering tbe mutton qualities, eneep
bied for selling purpose usually have
coarser, lower grade woo) than those
raised for their fleeces.
Dickering oa Sheca Prices.
Pendleton Seven eastern sheep buy
ere have just come into Umatilla coun
ty to see if tbey can pick up large con
signments to take to the middle west,
and wliile they are stlil quite a distance
apart Irom growers on price! their pres
ence make! thi prospect more encour
aging in the congested sheep districts,
where it waa feared sheepmen would
have to carry over all their last year
holdings, together with the spring in

Caa Start Off With 100 Cows.
Echo It is estimated that 100 cows
will be available to start should the
Hazelwood Creamery company carry

here. Several farmers in addition to
those already poesseiing dairy animals
are scanning their herds for dairy pos
sibilities, and with a district a dozen
miles long up snd down the Umatilla
river to draw from, it is thought zuu

LlatBLV TO BB OWN SUCCESSOR.
Brady Appears to Hav Bt of
Rac
for Oovsraor of Alaska.
Washington, May 17. Governor
John G. Brady, of Alaska, whose farm
expire June 6, will probably be ap
pointed to succeed himself. When in
Washington recently, be talked over
the lituation with the president and
hii prompt departure, coupled with the
remark h mad to several friendi,
lead to the conclusion that be I satis
fied be will have another term of office.
Secretary Hitchcock, it i understood,
ii not well satisfied with Brady, but as
tbe president ii personally interested
in tbe governor and believes him hon
est, as well aa competent, tbe secre
tary will raise no objectior. Several
men ar in the field against Brady, in-
luding National Committeeman Jobn
. Held, of Juneau; William T. Perk
ins, auditor of tbe Northwestern Com
mercial company and the company's
agent at Nome, and Oliver Roberts, of
Han Francisco. Held is supposed to
have a number of congressional indorse,
ments, including Senator Mitchell.
Perkins has the indorsement of several
senators who visited Alaska last sum
mer, and Roberts is backed by mem
bers of the California delegation.
These men all have applications on
file.
MOT TIMB FOR PEACB TALK.
Ocrsaaay Thinks th Easrwror Most
BstabUsb Mis Prastlg.
Berlin, May 17. Nothing is known
at the foreign office regarding the report
telegraphed from Berlin that there i
trong probability of peace through the
war party urging tbe ;zar to end tbe
trouble. It is pointed out in serious
political circles, knowing the view of
tbe foreign office, that tbe time is not I
yet ripe for peace efforts). Tbe German
government is aware that strong cur-1
rents in France and Great Britain are
working for peace, and that even politi-
cal influences in Russia are moving in
the same direction. It is admitted I
here that these effort would be mater-1
ially strengthened if tbe Russians iuc-laa
ceeded in checking tbe Japanese ad-
vane at Mukden. I
However, Russia cannot be satienen
ith a meie negative result of the mili-
tary operations. Tbe government of I
Emperor IMcholas feels the necessity I
for re-establiabing ita prestige, and
only after several deecisive victories for
tbe Russian arms could tbe Russian
emperor entertain proposals for media
tion.

Delay Has Fallen Into th Hands of

Chicago, May 17. A special to th
Daily News from Cbefoo saya: When
the Daily News dispatch boat Fawan
arrived off Dalnv early tbia morning a
heavv bombardment wai in progress.
As tbe channel wa thickly mined
by the Russians, and Japanese Admiral
Kattakao had issued strict orders thai
noncombatants' boats were to be ex
cluded, it waa impossible to get within
the loadstead. Hence an accurate re
port of the proceedings is impossible.
As far as it was possible to ascertain
the armored cruiser Yakumo. four other
cruisers, one gunboat and one battle-
ihio. having cleared the channel, en
tered tbe harbor shortly after daylight
and began a heavy fire. The land bat
teries were silenced.
It is estimated that 20,000 Japanese
troops are investing the town and there
i. every lesson to believe that they are
now in possession ol the city.

EXCLUSION LEGAL
UNITED STATES HAS RIGHT 70 DE
PORT AKARCHISTS.
OpInloB Rendered by Halted State S
prtos Court la tb C el Tarawr,
tb English Aarcnlt-Chkf Jastlc
Say Act la Not Opa to Cattt
tional Objection.
Washington, May 18. In an opinion
today by Chief Justics Fuller, the
United State supreme court sustained
tbe action of the immigra'.ion authori
ties at the port of New York in order
ing the deportation of the Englishman,
Turner, alleged to be an anarchisi.
Tbe chief justice said in bis opinion
that Turner himself did not deny that
he is sn anarchist. The opinion up
held tbe law for tbe exclusion of an
archists, and affirmed tbe decision of
the circuit court for tbe southern dis
trict of New York, which refused a writ
of habeas corpus for Turner.
Chief Justice Fuller, in his opinion,
first reviewed the facts in tbe case, in
cluding tbe claim of Turner that he is
a lecturer on sociological questions,
also thst bis counsel contended that he
was an anarchist in theory merely.
He then referred to the fact that Turn
er'! counsel attacked the immigration
law as nnconstitutional on the ground
that it is in contravention of th first,
fifth and sixth amendment, and also
section one of the constitution, because
"no power is delegated by tbe constitu-
tion to the
general government over
alien foreigner with reference tc their
admission to tbe United State or other
wise, or oer the beliefs of citizens,
denizens, sojourners or alien or over
the freedom of speech of tbe press."
All of these contentions were nega
tived by tbe decision of the chief jost-
ice. who said, among other things
"Whether rested on tbe accepted
principle of international Jaw that
every sovereign nation bas tbe power
inherent in sovereignty and essential
to self preservation, to forbid tbe en.
trance of foreigners within ita dominion
0r to admit them only in such case
and on inch conditions as it may see fit

WASHINOTON BILLS TO WIN.
atlcy of Ladrs for Bcoaoaay Disas
trous t Many.
Washington, May 14. Tb record
of th Washington delegation for tb
aeaaion just closed does not compar
very favorably with that of th delega
tion from Oregon, nevertheless, th
failure of th men from Washington
is largely attributable to tb fact that
tha Uadere in congress used every
means within their power to bold down
appropriations, and lo prevent the pas
ssge of all but necessary legislation.
Waihington baa no Lewis and Clark
bill, but loyally supported th men
from Oregon in their efforts to secure
the passage of their bill. There was
ne way in which Oregon could recipro
cate, so waihington hid to take tb
responsibility for local legislation al
together on ita own shoulders, with
the result set forth below.
During the session just closed Sena
tor Foster introduced 26 public bills,
most of them of local importance to
the state of Washington. Out of that
number, five were passed by both
bouses, either as independent measure,
or as amendments to appropriation
bills; four passed the senate, but failed
in the bouse; six were favoraably re
ported to tbe senate, but did not pass,
and tb other were never even report
ed by committee.
The bill that finally passed author
ize tbe sale of Poyallup allotted landi;
grant landa to Port Angelea for use a a
public park ; allow vessel of less than
30 tons' bnrden to engage in trade be
tween Puget sound and the islands of
British Columbia; made appropriation
for the new Dungeneas lighthouse sta
tion, and validate sales of right-of-way
landa, made by tb Northern Pacific

Tb entire second army under General

the Japanese are declared to be confi
dent of their ability to reduce the town.
General Kurokf a forces, who are op

London, May 13. The correspondent
of the Times, cabling from Wiju, says:
The Russian position at Feng Wang
Cheng, if properly held, ought to have
been impregnable, even with the eacri- 11
flee of 10,000 men.
Judging from their disheveled ap
pearance, the Russians must have been
in the trenches for several days.
The Japanese are showing the great
est kindness to the wounded piisoners,
and tbe captured Russian officer, at
being treated by tbe highest among
th Japanese as respected guests.
The censorship is becomng very se
vere. I am loroiaaen 10 iransmii uie

A painful incident of the Yam battl
