Cadrò Insulta United State* Minister
Bowen.
Washington, April 12.—Throughout
the diplomatic corps keen interest ex­
ists regarding the sensational answer
which President Castro is said to have
made to Minister Bowen’* latest re­
quest for arbitration of the pending
questions tM*tween the. United State*
and Venezuela. Although the Vene­
zuelan legation officials say the text of
the dispatch was not Included in the
mail reaching the legation today; which
left Caracas after the answer was de­
livered to Mr. Bowen, it has become
noised among the diplomats that the
answer was undiplomatic and almost
threatening in wording. - A.—.....
The knowledge possessed by certain
diplomats on the subject here indicates
clearly that the character, if not the
exact text, of the answer has been
known for some time to the diplomatic
corps in Caracas, and there is reason
to believe that several foreign govern-l
ments have already been advised of it*
text.
While diplomats who have inquired
at the State department have been in­
formed that practically no action will
be taken regarding Venezuela until
President Roosevelt returns from his
Western trip, they also have received
the information that, if the exact text
of Castro’s answer comprises an insult
to the American minister, it will not
pane unnoticed.

Japan I* Ready to Meet Russia's Re-
inforced Army.
Tokio, Apri 12.—Japan is meeting
the Russian plan of reorganization and
reinforcement of its armies in Man-'
churia with an extensive expedition
from its own military organization.
The details and figures are carefully
concealed of what seems to be a plan to
double the present army units, but it
is reliably estimated that by autumn
next the total military organization
will exceed 1,000,000 men actually em-
oloye«l in the field. The fighting force
ie roughly estimated at 700,000 men,
with increases largely in^the infantry
and artillery, although an enlargement
in the cavalry branch ie also contem­
plate«!.
As a result of the manufacture' at the
arsenals in Japan, together with cap­
tures and purchases of guns, it ie pre­
dicted that this year will see a Japan■>
ese artillery superior to that of the
। Russians, in quality as well as numeri­
cally, and it ie confidently believed
that the Russians will be int^tpable of
overcoming these numerical advantages.
Wherever railway improvement are
possible they will be carried out, when
Japan will be sucffiiently strong to tqjte
and hold Harbin, and simultaneously
ainue ope rat ion* against the Rus-
forces to the eastward of that city.
OREGON STATE TOIS OF INTEREST
CANAL DEED IS CLEAR NOW
No Further Obstacle* to Construc­
tion of Cut by Government.
Salem—The Celiio canal commission,
composed of the governor, secretary of
state and state treasurer, has signed the
deed conveying to the United States
the right of way for the construction of
a government canal between The Dalles
and Celilo.
At the request of the government
officials, the state has several times
made corrections in conveyances in
order to remove defects from the chain
of title, and now the commission feels
confident that the title is perfect and
that there is nothing, so far as the
right of way is concerned, to prevent
the government from proceeding with
the construction of the canal.
The canal right of way cost the state
$74,000.
The Portage Railway commission,
which is composed of these same offi­
cers, held a meeting and received the
report of the engineer in charge of the
work on the portage road. The report
shows satisfactory progress, though it
is stated that a “walking delegate’’ ap­
peared on the rcene last week and in­
duced the workmen on the piledrivers
to strike for a nine-hour day at the
same pay received for a ten-hour day.
As a «xmsequence the bridgework was
retarded.
The greater part of the grading and
bridgework has been completed, and
one and three-quarters miles of track
have been laid. Four cars of steel rails
have been received and the track-laying
will proceed rapidly. To all appear­
ances, the road will be completed by
the appointed time, May 15.
There
are now at work 29 teamsand 136 men.
Reseeding Done in Wasco,
The Dalles—Farmers whose - crops
were damaged by the severe weather of
February have about finished reseeding,
and the new-sown grain is coming up
nicely. It is estimated that about ten
per cent of the fall-sown grain in . the
county froze out, and had to be reseed-
ed. This has been a heavy expense on
those whose grain was frozen, and as
spring sowing never yields as good
crops a* fall sowing, unless the season
is unsuually favorable, the wheat crop
this year will be somewhat shorter
than that of 1904, although, so far, the
weather has been most favorable, and
crops are making an excellent growth.
The season is at least a month earlier
than last year, whicfî will enable the
gardeners and orchardists to market
their crops early, and thereby get the
advantages of higte.prices that always
prevail early in the steasop.

Hansbrough Say* Next Session Will
B* Devoted to Rate Question.
Washington, April 11.- — Senator
Hansbrough, of North Dakota, a strong
advocate of a readjustment of thetariff,
believes that the chance of tariff revis­
ion lias passed and that nothing will be
done in the immedate future looking tg
the readjustment of the Dingley rate*
to meet changing conditions. While
Mr. Hansbrough is a strong protection­
ist, lie believes the existing tariff
should be readjusted, but he has come
to the conclusion that the stand-patter*
have convinced the president that no
revision is necessary.
He thinks the postponement of the
extra session until October 15 put an
end to all chance of tariff revision. It
i* hi* opinion, and the view is shared
by many other men in Washington,
that a session called to meet October 15
for the purpose of passing a railroad
rate bill will not find opportunity to
consider another such weighty topic as
the tariff. He declares that congress
will conaume the time from October 15
to December 1 jn organizing commit­
tees and getting ready for actual work.
He furthermore believes that the two
or three weeks preceding the holiday
recess will be wasted on soj^e pretext
or other, and that congress will not get
down to business before the second
week im January. Ib his opinion it
will be easy enough to drag out the dis­
cussion of the railroad rate bill through
the entire long session, leaving no time
for a consideration of a tariff bill. This
being the situation, as he sees it, Mr.
Hansbrough has abandoned all hope of
having the tariff revised.
Marion County Plan* for Better High­

Salem—“The people of Marion coun­
ty will contribute $10,000, $16,000 or
perhaps as much « $20,000 in labor
for the improvement of the public roads

Scott, as he finished preparing a num­
ber of blank agreements for use in road
districts where the property owner* are

“The county court has decided to
spend its surplus road funds in those
district* where the people contribute
work, and it is very evident that this
year will see more progress in road
building than in any previous year in
the history of Marion county. Our plan
is to use what money is necessary in
the building of bridges, and in the re­
pair of roads in a few places where
county work is of immediate necessity,
and the balance of the fund will be di­
vided among the districts. We do not
know yet what rate of distribution will
be adopted, but the amount distributed
will be enough to encourage Hie enter­
prise of the people in road building by
contributed work.”
In the immediate vicinity of Salem
work to the amgant of at least $7,000
will be done, M'l it will probably much
exceed thi* amount.

Federal Grand Jory Has Secrets

BOOKS GARFIELD DID NOT HID
Chicago Inquisitor* Dive Into Eight
Trunk* Containing Story of '
Packer*' Dealing*.
Chicago, April 11.—The content* of
eight myesterious trunks, unearthed by
government secret service men in the
vaults of the National Safe Deposit
company, occupied the attention today
of the Federal grand jury which is in­
vestigating the affairs of the beef trust.
A subpoena duce* tècum for Daniel
Peckham, secretary of the safq, dep«jeit
company, was issued by Judge Landis
to force the company to produce the
trunks in the jury room. The trunks
were taken to the office of District At­
torney Morrision, where, it is said,
they were opened and . their contents
examined.
What the trunks contained and what
connection they have with the case is
not known, as the government officials
refuse to discuss the matter, declining
to either deny or confirm the explana­
tion current that the trunk* might be­
long to the packers.
District Attorney Morrision institut­
ed the action by which the bunks were
seized after a witness, whose identity is
carefully guarded, had startled the
grand jurors with revelations as to the
former business methods of the pack­
ers. He is Mid to haVe testified that a
double system of bookkeeping had been
employed by certain packing firms, one
set of books showing the secret relations
of the alleged combine and being ac­
cessible only to truste«! employes, and
the other set showing figures to which
the packers invited the attention of the
government experts who investigated
for Commissioner Garfield.
While Mr. Peckham declined to dis­
close the identity of the person or per­
sons who stored tlie trunks with his
company, he admitted that this was
done on March 23, three days after the
grand jury began its investigation*.
Suspicions have been entertained for
a long time by the Federal officiali con­
nected with the investigation that' The
readiness with which the packing firms-
welcomed an examination of their
books by the government experts was
not altogether genuine. The work of
the secret service operators produced
results, it is saidt„ which tended to
strengthen these »Uspicons, and when a
witness who testified more than a week
ago let drop the hint that Commission­
er Garfield’s experts had not seen all
the books of the packers, he was called
upon to explain.

the Right Men.
Chicago, April 10. — Weetern men
are to have a long leeway allowance in

sectional discrimination in selecting
the subordinates who serve under the

unm T, P. Shonto said today:
“We wish to employ the men who ,
have practical knowledge of direct con­

for New York tomorrow, and from there
go to Washington, to be with the com­
mission yntil such time in the near fu­
ture aa I can leave for Panama.
“In selecting superintendents, fore­
men, engineers and the other skilled
labor to t>e employed on the canal, we
will dig up the man that can think,
