Of . received at the headquar-
Beefsteak. I ere of the National Live
stock Association in Chi
cago, cougrcBS will have the public land
situation brought to i's Attention this
winter in a new and startling manner.
A number of prominent cattlemen "of the
west, who have been quietly investigat
ing, are preparing to show that during
the past five years there has been an
enormous decrease in the number of
cattle in this country, a decrease which
seriously threatens the beef food supply,
and that unless speedy action be taken
by congress, in the course of a veTy few
years beef.will be selling at such a fabu
lous prices that only the wealthy can af
ford to iadulge in the luxnry of a beef
steak. The cause of this rapid decline
in the nunberof beef cattlo is said to be
dur solely to the contraction of the west
ern grazing lands and the increase in
"the consumptive demand. The rapid
settlement of the west has caused the
crowded coneition has prevented the ie
seeding of the grasses, and consequently
millions of acres of once good pasture
have been turned into absolute desert.

Li Hung Chang's
Death
By ' "
Violent
Depute With
Russian Minister.
A disoa'ch fiom
Pekiu nates that a
violent dispute
with L'-Bsnr, the
Russian minister to
China, over the
Manchu: inn treaty,
appears to have been the immediate
cmep ft the death 'of Li Hung Chang.
The diplomatic events preceding this
tragic climax have enabled Japan for a
moment to frustrate the plans of Russia.
A fortnight ago the Japanose legation
secured a reliable oulline of the terms of
the treaty, and filed objections, alleging
that Japanees interests were involved.
In the meantime the Emprees Dowager
instructed Li Hung Chang to rommmu
nicate the treaty, after certain monifica
tionB, to the ministers of the powers, and
if they did not object to sign the same.
Li Hnug Chang visited M. Lessar and
explained to him the instructions. The
Russian minister strongly objected to re
vealing the text of the treary .to the
other powers, and a stormy interview
cntued. Li Hung Chang went homo in
a violent passion, and had a hemmor
rhage. which the doctors attributed to
the over-exertion of a weakened system.

Two Two Oregon appointments
Places (ire held up at YVashington,
Held and will probably not be
Up. - made until the delegation
meets there. Ivey's successor
as collector of customs in AlaBka, will be
an Oregon man, and the Burns land of
fice vacancy is etill open. The presi
dent will appoint nobody that he is not
sure is a good man for any position,' but
the impression prevails that Mitchell's
recommendation will receive more con
sideration than that of any member of
the delegation. Simon claims a prom
ise from McKinley of the Alaska collect
orship, ar.d this claim is backed by the
officers of the treasury department.
President Roosevelt might be disposed
to grant some conceecion to Simon, as
the latter says he has not been fairly
treated in the matter of Oregon patron
age. Senator Mitchell leaves Portland for

session.

attraction in the state of Washington,
for pulling all its trains between Seattle
and the summit of the Cascade range.
The Northern Pacific a'.so, is consider
ing the falls as a source of power for run
ning its trains from Portland and Seattle
to the summit of the Caacades. Presi
dent Hill has decided that electricity
shall be the motor power through the
Cascade tunnel, and if feasible, from the

summit of the Cascades to the Western
terminal!?. The Saoqualmie falls are
owned by William T. Baker, formerly of
the Chicago board of trade. His son.
Charles H. Baker, is president of the
company. The falls have a total horse
power of $100,003. Only about 10,000 of
this is now in use. The falls are 270
feet high, and at present they supply
the power for the street railways of Ta
coma and Seattle, and for the flouring
mills in the latter city.
Monday, November II.
New W. W. Campbell, of the Lick
Star Observatory, has issned a
Moving, bulletin regarding a recent
and somewhat important dis
covery made by Professor Perrine, an at
tache of the observatory on Mount Ham
ilton, in reference to the new star in the
constellation Perceos. The Btar ap
peared suddenly and unexpectedly last
February, having been discovered by
Anderson in Edlnburg. The late obser
vation is in every reBpect unique. Mo
tion on this enormous ecale or even one
fiftieth part of this scale, 'has never been
observed in any celestial body o.utside of
the solar system, and it is morally cer
tain that the observed phenomenon is
closely related to the violent disturb
ances which gave place to the birth of
the new sta. It is perhaps as wonder
ful and important as any fact yet deter-
! mined in connection with new stars.

GRAND JURY REPORT.
Declares the Bonds of All the
County Officers, Except Judge,
Clerk and School Superln
tendenti Illegal and In
sufficient. To Honorable T. A. McBride, judge of
the circuit court ot Ulackamas connty
We, the undersigned grand jurors of
the circuit court of Clackamas county,
for the November term of said court,
do hereby make this our linal report to
wit:
We have examined all charges of
crime, which have been brought to our
attention and within our notice, and
have returned one true bill and four not
true bills. Realizing that it is imnoaai
ble, in the limited time fn which the
grand lury may remain in session, to
carefully examine the books and accounts
of the various county officers, we have
not done so except generally, and such
general in I oiuiatiou as we have is not
sufficient, lor us to certify either to the
correctness or incorrectness of the hooks
or acconntr, or conduct of the various
couuty offii ' M. We believe that tiie
surest way 1 1 iiiBure the county against
any tinancit.1 loss from any of its olllc.-is
is to require tlieui all lo give bonds, and
therefore we huw taken pains to exam
ine the bonds given oy various officers,
and as to the qualifications of sureties on
bonds, and therefore call the attention of
the honorable circuit judge to some of
the irregularities found.
The bond of the recorder is insufficient
in form ; the bond of the assessor is in
sufficient in form and contains the name
of the deputy assessor as Burety. While
the statute does not say expressly that
the deputy assessor shall not be such
surety, we think that the spirit of the
law would render him disqualified ; the
bond of the surveyor is not in the form
provided by statute, and contains a
surety who is an attorney-at-law, who is
by lav. disqualified to become a surety.
The justification of the sureties on the
coroner's bond is sufficiently ambiguous
as to be susceptible of a construction that
the same is illegal The general bond
of the sheriff is insufficient in form and
contains the names of two sureties, one
an attorney, and the other a deputy
sheriff, both of which by law are dis
qualified; the bond of the sheriff as
tax-collector "will faithfully perform all
the obligations required of him," does
not say specifically "that he will pay
over all moneys that may coma to his
hands as such coll. ctor," which is the
form by law designated as the proper
form for the bonds of all officem, and
the said bond contains the names of two
attorneys who.are by law disqualified as
such sureties. The bond of the county
treasurer is not in the form by statute
prescribed and contains the names of
two attorneys who are by law disquali
fied as sureties. We say generally, of
all bonds, that the sureties thereon
should be carefully examined as to their
properiy qualifications, and recommend
that all now, or hereafter given, bo sub
mitted to the district attorney, or to his
deputy before the same are accepted r
approved, and we recommend tuat the
county officers, whose bonds are above
mentioned as irregular and containing
disqualified sureties, be required to give
new bonds which, Bhall in all resp-cts,
be as by law required.
We have examined the city and county
jails and find them clean tnd well kept,
but recommend that the entrance door
of the county jail be changed or placed
in such condition as to prevent any ef
fort of prisoners to escape.
We visited tiie various county oflicng
and find th?t they are sullieient, for the
comfort and convenience of the officers,
except that more vault room is needed
in the office of th recorder.
VISIT TUB MAODALEM HOME.
We visited the institution known as
"The KiBterr of the Good Shepherd of
the Magdalen Home," which is also a
foundling asylum, and we found therein
15 babies under three years of age, and
six ehildren between the ages of five and
14, which children are such as the law
authorizes tho institution to receive
irora the state the sum of $50 for each
child's support. There rre also other
inmates of such institution who are sup
ported by the institution itself, which
inmates consist of women who are in
the course of reformation, who are there
voluntarily, and one minor girl who is
kept there with the consent and at the
request of her guarding. All the child
en and other inmates are well clothed
and kept, and the institution is well ap-
: ..... .1 mi , i
pointed. There is a laundry run in con
nectiort with the institution, which is an
ordinary steam laundry, that is clean
and well kept and the employes not
overvorked. The grand jury was
trei.ied courteously by those in charge of
the institution, and we were shown
through the same. Having completed
our labors we ask to bo discharged.

FARM TALKS.
Somi Experiences of Practlca
Clacknmxs County Fanners.
" Onions 'are becoming an important
product in Clackamas countv. and the
demand seems to be increasing. George
vv. Killin, ol Handy, says that Seeley
Brothers in that neighborhood raised
d.uuu Dustieis ot onions from three acres
oi ricn son loam Altogether seven or
eight thousand sacks of onions will be
the output of that particular locality.
and the present prevailing price is 1 1-2
cents per pound.
W. II. Seltzir, of Mulino, is making a
Luccess of fatteninj; hogs with corn and
barley chop. He has a tine lot of pork
ers this Beaaorrof fattening age, and alsc
a neiu ot corn that yielded well and ma
tured properjy. Combined with the bar
ley it makes an excellent feed, putting
soiiu nesn on tne irames ot hogs. Mr
Seltzer has his wheat and other grains
used for hog feed, ground in the chop'
ping mill of a neighbor.
Frank Bates, of Damascus, says that
the potato crop will bring more money
into uiacuamts county this season, than
any other product. In the vicinity of
uamascua mere is a large acreage and
immense yield of potatoes. A portion of
the potato crop still remains in the
ground, the tons of the . vines not -vet
having been killed, so that the tubers
win ripen.
An Jiastern man, who was recently
.uoKin over vjiacKamas county with i
view of engaging in apple and near oro
duction, gave the experience of some of
lus neighbor?, who purchased fruit
atAShland. 1 hey sprayed their apple
trees thormghly woile they were in
bloom, and as a result there wew no
worms or peats in the fruit. It does no
good to spray aprln trees after the bios
83ms have fallen off. It is thq practice
in the Etst now to sptay the blossoms,
and it provi s a success.
