These ves sels are fitted out as for an Arc lie expedi tion. On the eastern portion of the tine the la bor of convict exiles is being employed to a considerable extent, and 4000 of these are said to be now al work upon the railway, The Kussian engineers estimate that the cost of the line will vary from 10,000 to !7, iXH) a mile, according to the difficulties to be overcome, but the entire sum cannot be less than &X,000,(X10. This enormous expense will be entirely defrayed by the imperial treasury. It is not supposed that the road will pay for a great number of years, but the etar is fully aware of its strairgelical value. It will enable him to command the northern boundaries ol his political neighbors with a very much smaller mililajy force than is re quired today. When this railway is com pleted, and olliclal surmises fix the year l!t for its opening, a journey of about SOW miles long can be made from Taris to the Pacific at Vladivostok. It will require about three weeks of continuous travel to make it. Tiis supreme court of Oregon lias just handed down a decision that while of inter est to the general taxpayer is of peculiar in terest to the sheritls and newspapers. The S'lit was one to set aside a tax deed. The supreme court holds that the tax deed is in valid for the reason that the first notice of sale was published June tlth and the last June '.Tin, the sale being held on July 3d, making but twenty-seven clear days. The law requires the publication to be for four weeks successively ; this means twenty-eight davs. i CUBA'S REBELLION. If reports, which are mostly from Spanish sources, are to be relied on, the Cuban revo lution has collapsed after the first decisive battle between the insurgents and Spanish troops. The Spaniards claim to have either killed or captured all of the Cuban leaders and to have scattered the insurgent forces. It is a physical impossibility for the Cubans to win their independence. While Spain is one of the weakest nations of Eoroe yet her army and navy are more than a match for the Cubans, who have degenerated to such an extent that they are only capable of carrying on a guerrilla warfare. The land is all in great plantations, owned by Spanish and other foreign nations, and the people of the island are a race of tenants. The majority of them are negroes, but a few steps removed from savages, while the poor whites by intermarriage and contact are but little better than the negroes. Outside of the few educated people ot the towns the people are too ignorant and brutal to carry on an independent government. There is little likelihood of the Cubans ever winning their indeiiendence, for the Spanish rule is constantly forcing them to louef depths of poverty and ignorance, and their only hope to better their condition is for the island to come into the possession of some other country by conquest or purchase. THE WAR ENDED. The postal receipts for the last quarter have shown a marked Increase over the pre vious quarter as shown by a report of the department. For the past two years there has been a constant decline in the volume of business handled by the postal depart ment. With the revival of business the sale of stamps increase for the mail order busi ness of the mercantile establishments pro duce a good part of the Kistal revenues. Tux new ritle, the invention of the Ger man inventor Mauser, has been exhibited at Fort Mi-Henry.

The former were to be cleaned to put lard In, while the latter were undoubtedly for that staple article, apuda. riilllip linker's lamily are all on the Im prove and two of the girls are once more able to attend school.

The following is the list of letters remain ing in the post otlice at Oregon City, Oregon, 1 :30 P. M., April 17. 1S!: ME.x's LIST. China's efforts to sesure peace has at last been successful and the war is now at an end with the terms of settlement wholly dictated by Japan. Japan gets a money indemnity of $100,000,000 and the per manent jiossession of the large and fertile island of Formosa and ot several smaller islands off the Chinese coast and to bold the great fortresses of Port Arthur and Wei-Hai-Wei with the pimnsulason which they are situated until the indemnity is paid. The result of the war is that Japan has become one of the great powers of the world while China as a military power is crushed and has no hope of ever rising again. The Chinese have shown themselves to be totally devoid of courage and patriotism, and now that they have shown that they are i neap Able of maintaining a national existence it will be but a question of time when China will be dismembered and divided between Japan and the great powereof Euroue.

School to Have Arbor Day Kiercises-Doings of the .Neighborhood J GREAT RAILWAY. The Tiumen-Om-k section of the Sibe rian railway, which was recently opened for passenger tratlic, forms the first installment of this colossal work, which is todwarfall the longest continental lines in the world. It is to be 0700 miles in length, and as yet 800 miles only are in actual use. From Omsk, which is in the extreme west of Siberia, it is to extend in an eastern direc tion to Crasnoiarski, a distance of nearly 3000 miles. The embankments and cuts forming this division are already made, and the work is already being actively conducted toward completion. From this point the road will follow a more southerly course to Irktusk, go along the southern shore of Lake Bai kal and through the valley of the Heeluig river, crose the valleys of the Lena and the Amurto Lake Colan, where excellent coal has been found. Thence it runs eastward to the steamboat station at Szejetinsk, on the Amur river, and follows the course of that stream south eastward to Hhabarotfka. There it will turn southward along the right bank of the Usstin, run to Grall'sky, and terminate at Vladivostock, on the sea of Japan. From this port operations have bf-en com menced in a northwesterly direction some 200 miles, and the road is actually running to Grapska. Thus it will be seen that about 1000 miles, or nearly one-sixth of the entire distance, is virtually accomplished. But innumerable and almost insurmountable difficulties surround the bridging of the gap between these two extremities. Siberia is a big country. It is twice as large as the whole of the I'nited Slates. Nine tenths of Its territory has never been j explored. The route ot the railroad is near the 55th parallel; that is, as far north as southern Alaska, and consequently the climate is very cold. The difficulty of pro curing and transporting men will come largely from the Ural mountains, near the western terminus of the road. Kails are shipped from England through Hood View, April 15.

The Arbor day exercises in the Wilson ville school will be on Friday the 10th. There will be a very interesting program rendered by the pupils of that school. A good time is expected and all that are interested are requested to be present. Our sick ones are gradually becoming well until there are none to speak of in the old list, and we are happy to say there are no new ones to add this week.
