- Portsmouth, Aug. 29 The long
and bloody war between Japan and
Russia is ended. The terms of
peace were agreed upon - by Mr.
Witte and Baron Komura at the
session of the conference this morn
ing, and this afternoon the prelim
inary arrangements for an armis
tice were concluded and the actual
work of framing the "Treaty of
Portsmouth" was turned over to
Mr. DeMartens, Russia's great in
ternational lawyer, and Mr. Danni-
son, the legal adviser of the Japan
ese foreign office. The treaty is ex
ptcted to be completed by the end
of the week.
For the sake of peace Japan,
with the magnanimity of the victor
at the last moment, yielded every
thins io issue. Russia refused to
budge from the ultimatum of Em
peror Nicholas given to President
Rooeevelt. No indemnity under
any guise, but an agreement to di
vide Sakhalin and reimburse J a
pan tor the maintenance ot pris
oners were his last words The Ja
panese met the ultimatum of ,, the
czar aDd abandoned their demands
for reimbursement for the cost of
the war and for the repurchase of
the northern part of the island of
Sakhalin, Russia agreeing to a di
vision of the island. The Japan
ese at the same time withdrew
their demands for the cession of
interned ships and for the limita
tioo of Russian naval power in the
far east.

Portland, Oregon. Dear Sirs: ' '
J I used six dozen of your fruit jars last season and am very much pleased with them.
The Economy Jar is 'the nicest Rooking and the best jar I have ever used.
;y -I canned all kinds of fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, pickles and chicken, and hadjfine
success with the Economy Jar. - .
, I was awarded all the first- prizes, consisting of 8 blue ribbons, at the Oregon State
Fair, 1903, for my exhibit of canned fruits and jelly.

whereabout is as much a mystery

' There is nothing to show why
they should wish to abandon their
children. Thus far nothing has
developed to indicate that the Rog

theory upon which the police are
working is that ; perhaps, finding
themselves without means they
committed suicide.
St. Petersburg, Aug 30. The
peace news was received here with
out any manifestationt of joy. The
city 3hows absolutely no evidence
of the receipt of the tidings. It
can safely be said however, that the
general feeling among the more
intelligent classes is that justice
has been done at Portsmouth.
Expressions of relief are heard
that there will be no further blood
shed, but the "inglorious peace
is a disappointment to many. The

The two Mason Jar caps has been examined. Upon examination the metal of the
new Mason cap was found to be pure zinc. The small, pin holes in the old Mason cap
were undoubtedly caused by the action of vegetable acids. As a result the fruit in the
jar must have been greatly contaminated with poisonous zinc compounds.
1 regard the nse of jars with zinc caps as very unsanitary and even dangerous.
Yours very truly, '

The Oregon commissioners bought all my fruit to represent Oregon at the St. Louis
Eair. I have been requested to put up fruit for the Lewis & Clark Centennial' Exposition
1905, and I will nse your Economy Jars, They are a sure seal, easy to open, and I prefer
Item to any jar I have ever used.
Yours very truly,

poisonous compounds? You know this if you use the ECONOMY JARS they are endor

ture, while a large element of the
people seem ot the opinion that an
other trial at arms with its chances
of victory would be preferable to
the present peace. The reception
of the news here today shows plain

Luther Burbank's efforts in the
cultivation of flowers and vegeta
bles have been eclipsed by a res
ident of Tolland on the Moffit road
says the Denver News. The cham
pionship in chicken breedmg has
been won by F. J. Frances. He
has discovered his new phase of the
chicken industry quite by accident.
Mr. Frances claims to have pro
duced a chicken which is ail white
meat: The condition of the meat
he ascribes to the altitude. He
avers that if a chicken couid be
baised above timber line it would
ze perfectly white from Bkin to giz
rard. Near the top of the contin
ental divide is' the place where be
has been conducting his experi
ments. Rollins pass is the highest
pois.t on the Moffit road. It is 11,-
660 feet above the sea. Here
there h no timber, no vegetation of
any kind, except a few scattering
sptcks of drying grass and hardy
sagfl brush.
' I found out what I claim about
the chickens by observing the fish,"
said Mr. Frances in discussing his
discovery. "I noticed the texture
of the flesh of fish in the lake of
Tolland was dinerent trom mat in
Teller lake, which is several hund
red feet higher. The flesh of the
fish in Yankee Doodle and Jenny
laBes, wnicn are sua nigner, is
whiter still, and if there was water
at a higher altitude that contained
fish I am sure that you would find
the flesh to be entirely white. My
theory is that chickens laiaed at a
high altitude will contain no dark
meat and will be as tender and
juicy even when old as the chicken
used for spring broilers on the bill
of fare. .
' We have 100 chickens now at
Teller lake that are being raised
with a view to proving what I
claim.

Portsmouth, Aug. 30. The act
ual work of drafting the "Treaty
of Portsmouth" began today. It
is being done by DaMartens and

respective sides. While the bases
have been accepted by the pleni
potentiaries considerable detail re

treaty.
A verv anomalous situation ex
ists as to the impression created by
the conclusion of peace. ' While
the outside world applauds, in Ja
pan there is evidently great disap
pointment in the terms and in Rus
sia the government seems to - have
received it coldly. It is an open
secret that when the emperor ap
pointed Witte, the chief plenipo
tentiary the military party expect
ed him to fail or make a 'bad peace'
and either would have spelled po
litical ruin. Witte succeeded in
securing a treaty honorable to Rus
sia. This has exasperated his en
emies and an intrigue is again at
work to ciscredit him. Not a word
or line about the receipt of the
news comes out of Japan. In view
of the situation both in Tokio and
