KAoreanixatlon of Company to Pnh Completion "Well Advanced No Competition In Grain. Traffic THH) DALLES. Aug. 27.-JThe report that operations on the portage railroad on the north side of the Columbia. River were suspended proves to be correct. The men "were discharged Saturday and Im mediately came to the office In The Dalles to get pay. They -were given time checks, and those not over 515 -were paid In full. Those to -whom more than ?15 'was owing received only 50 per cent. It Is understood that the balance Is guar anteed on a certain date In the near fu ture, but there 1b considerable dissatis faction -existing: among the men. The 'work on the road Is almost completed, and, so far as the road Is concerned, but little capital will be necessary to complete It. When the corporation by the name of the Central Kovigatlon & Construction Company was organized. It was estimated that $250,009 -would be a sufficient amount to construct the portage road, secure rol ling stock, have a connecting steamer at either end and build all other necessary equipments. It now appears that the $250,000 subscribed has been spent and the system Is far from complete. Work of completion will not be resumed -until the company has been reorganized and more capital subscribed. This move mont is far advanced. Suspension of work at this time practically makes It Impossible for the road to compote In the wheat transportation this Fall, and a Great deal of support in this line had been promised. A great many different opinions are be ing advanced as to the final outcome of the road, and the most plausible seems to be that one of the Northern lines, pre sumably the Northern Pacific, will com plete the road and extend their line down the Columbia to Portland. On account of this lack of funds a great many men are without employment and it will ease the stress In other lmes. NEW ASTORIA INCORPORATION. Pac kins' Company to Do Business on Qnlllaynte River.

Wild game seems to be increasing In numbers on .Lake Creek, In Lane County. Sports men who come from the Valley to hunt every Summer are surprise at tho steady in ores bo of deer in the face of the fact that the settlers kill them with Impunity at all times of the year. Passers along the roads see bands of deer almost every day. Bears also seem more numerous -than ever, though a good many are killed every year. They seldom attack domes tic stock, keeping to the woods, where they feed on berries and wild game. Cou gars, which formerly were In these woods In large numbers, seem to be grow ing scarcer, perhaps because, being de structive of sheep, goats, calves and the like, they are hunted more assiduously than bears. Sportsmen find a slight de crease In the number of fish In the streams. Idaho Notea. The State University will open Septem ber SO. A mild form of smallpox has appeared at Preston. Grange villa Democrats cast 96 votes at their late primary D, B. Grant recently sold his farm near Genesee for $10,000. One thousand sacks of flax were recently shipped from Cul de Sac.

A German has four acres of grapes at Jullaetta and expects to make 3300 gallons of wine. An attempt will be made to have Idaho's next Legislature provide the state with a dairy and food law. A large field of flax belonging to Gage. Sresslau & Brewer, near Genesee, yielded SB bushels to the acre. A ledge bearing much galena has at last been reached in the Columbia 3nd Sham rook mines at Wallace, owned by C. H. Wood and several others. About 800 Indians from the Nez Peroes reservation have gone to Wallowa Coun ty, Oregon, for their annual outing. They ' oo much nunttag and fishing. Extensive placer operations will soon commence on Gold Creek. 25 miles north of Oro Flno. The ground Is said to net from SS cents to 76 cents a cubic yard.

In a recent Republican meeting at Wardner, one of the speakers had been a Populist, one a Democrat and one a Silver Republican, while the man who led the orchastra had been a Democrat since the days before the war, but had been driven out of the party by the Kansas City platform. So says Chairman Fenn. The Lewiston Valley has one of the largest and best grain crops In years, and farmers are rejoicing over the fact that they have been able to get their grain cut and threshed before any of the ele ments had a chance to destroy If. The wheat ordinarily Is shriveled by the hot winds, but this year the grain was cut before the hot winds could do any damage and before the rain had set in. Blue stem Is testing 60 to 63 pounds and from club wheat Is averaging 53 pound?. Bar ley is so good as to be brewing quality. Farmers are generally In good circum stances and Inclined to hold their grain for a rise in prices. AT THE HOTELS. THE PORTLAND. Henry B Lahn. Bpokn! A W Smith. Chlnrn J D Gavin.

Prince OukhtomskJ, a Russian, Ac cuses Germany of Causing; the Trouble in the Orient. NEW YORK, Aug. 27. Enlistments in the Army have been phenomenal since the beginning of the trouble In China, says the Washington correspondent of the Herald. Young men In all parts of the country have flocked to the recruiting stations, anxious to receive military service In a foreign country. The recruit ing officers are taking their pick of appli cants and are having no difficulty In keep ing the regular Army about up to Its full limit tinder the law. Colonel Thomas Ward, the Assistant Adjutant-General In charge of the enll3ted men's division, said that enlistments In the Army have never been so numerous as at present. This Is something remark able, since the recruiting in the harvest- NOMINEES FOR GOVERNOR OF WEST VIRGINIA. A. B. White, Republican Candidate. lng period Is always less than at any other time of the year. Then the young men out of work find all they want to do on farms In the West. The officers' lists shows enlistments for April were 1274; May. 144S; June, 1647; July, 2700. and for the first 10 days of August, by reportB so far received by the War Department, 897. This furnishes an aggregate of 7946 men for that period. Usually the same months of any other year have furnished hardly ono-half of that number. Colonel Ward said: "Of the 2700 enlist ments for July, about 1800 were for for eign service, of which about 750 were en listed directly for regiments designated for such service, while upward of 1000 were sent to rendezvous for assignment to such regiments and those already in the Orient. The other enlistments were for depot battalions, the artillery, or for general assignment, 250 of which were made at military posts for organizations serving thereat." That the Army is getting Its -choice of the young men of the country is shown by the fact that during July no less than 9305 men who applied for enlistment were rejected. The recruiting officers have been able to respond to the demands of the various regiments for recruits and there are 1115 men waiting assignments to commands. Recruiting at present is for the Regular Army. By the existing law the volunteer force must all be mustered out of the service on or before July 1, 1901. It Is the purpose of the. War Department to begin returning the volunteers from the Philippines early in December and they will be mustered out from time to time as they reach this country. Recruits for that service have been stopped some time since and the volunteer force has fallen from Its authorized strength of S5.000 men to 31,141 officers and men. Every effort Is being made by the Navy Department to recruit the Navy up to Its full enlisted strength. To provide crews for the battle-ship Alabama and battle-ship Wisconsin, it will be neces sary to place the battle-ships Indiana and Massachusetts In reserve, and Just at this moment when affairs in China are at such a critical stage It Is considered desirable that there should be In commission all the armored men-of-war available. The authorized strength of the enlisted branch of tho service Is 17,500 men and 2500 boys. The present number of men enlisted 'Is 1Z.S9C and 1715 boys. Like the Army, the Navy Is particularly careful In making enlistments. Tho latest action taken to obtain re cruits Is the assignment of the tug For tune to duty as a recruiting ship. She is now touching at ports on Long Island Sound, and as soon as she has 40 recruits she returns to New York, transfers them to the receiving-ship Vermont, and re turns to the next point on her Itinerary. When she has completed her tour of ports on the Sound, the Fortune will go up the Hudson as far as Albany. RUSSIAN BLAMES GERMANY. The Disturbing: Factor in the Far Enat. NEW YORK, Aug'. 27. Prince Hespere Oukhtomskl, gentleman In waiting to His Imperial Majesty, the Czar Nicholas, and editor-in-chief of the Veldomostl, of St. Pe tersburg, the chief government organ of Russia, who arrived in this city on the steamship L'Aquitalne, is on his way to China as a special commissioner. The Prince declared that Germany was doing her best to hamper Rus,sla and destroy her Influence In the Far East Between Rus sia and America, he said, there was not the slightest 111 feeling and Russia was rather pleased than otherwise to see Amer ica taking a hand In the Chinese Imbrog lio. Russia was not In favor of dismem berment, he said, and all stories to that effect were entirely untrue. The Prince conversed freely on the Eastern situa tion. "German Influence Is dying in China and I must say it is a very bad Influence, for the Germans have not much to risk there and everything to gain. They began by taking the bay of KJao Chou and they have ever since been threatening the em pire. China objected to having the Ger mans so near the Capital and eagerly of fered the Invaders land In the southern part of China. The Germans, however, refused to go south and insisted on tak ing Kiao Chou- despite strong protests. "LI Hung Chang, who is a great friend of mine, told me at that time that the greatest disasters would follow immediate ly if Germany's activity did not cease. 'If you destroy our government as the Germans' do,' he said, 'the government will not be able to hold In check the peo ple." "I don't believe that Russia is at war with China. We are only fighting the Chinese who are destroying our railway, and our Generals are moving against the rebels In Manchuria. We have sent our troops to defend the central government, but I am afraid It was a great mistake for the allied troops to go to Pekln at all. They will make the difficulties greater. Now the Chinese Government will go to the Interior. They will continue to fight the foreigners and It will be .impossible to say -who rules. The Empress did her best to stop the troubles. If Germany had wished to see them dead she had only to tell her troops to cease defending the legations. "Germany went to the East to do harm to Russia, and so caused most of the difficulties with Russia In the Far East. It was the beginning of a new political era for Germany. It may be that she did not think so much about doing harm to Russia when she seized Kiao Chou as she did of conauerinir for herself. At mar rate. 1 am afrjald she la doing much harm to Russia, for wo had the predominant in fluence in China. Germany could not harm us In Europe, for there her geographical situation between Russia and France was bad, so she went elsewhere, where we were more vulnerable. "Germany will have .some importance In China as long as the powers keep to gether, but Germany alone can do noth ing at all. Waldersee Is coming to Shang hai in three weeks, and if he comes he will want some great and glorious defeats of the Chinese. The German press Is al ready saying 'We want to push forward. We don't want to remain In Peking The German newspapers .not long ago were opposed to dismemberment. Now they are strongly in favor of IL Russia has only to defend her Interests In Manchuria. She does not seek to annex even -a, small bit of territory, because It would be a great burden to her. I know from the very best sources why dlsmembarment of Chi na is not the wish of our government. "We could have annexed Manchuria long ago, because the Mongolians hate the Chi nese and would be glad to be Russian subjects. Manchuria, however, would be a heavy burden. "I mean to say that the awakening of China Is a. dangerous thing, both economi cally and politically. There Is not, how ever, a 'yellow peril,' In the way the German Emperor meant. The Chinese are John H. Holt, Democratic Candidate. very x good people and I think the danger Is more economic than military. "The powers will, however, try and drill national troops, and that wui be a great danger, for I am sure that In tlmo these 'foreign devil troops will form the real body of a hostile navy. "Russia does not care very much wheth er the United States keeps the Philip pines or leaves them, but I think Rus sia would prefer to have America keep the Islands as a sort of counterbalance off set to Japan, who will be our great en emy In the future, Japan will not only be the enemy of Russia, but of all the Eu ropean powers. Tho Chinese question will be hard to settle. There are too many powers in it. Why, even Italy is sending dozens of men over there. The strug gle will be of endless duration. .t "Russia has no objection to the' Ameri can flag In. Russia. Tien Wan will be an open door to Manchu, but it Is difficult to say whether all of Manchuria will be an open door. We will make a great rail way and then only use it for foreign mer chants to bring goods into our territorial possessions; It would certainly be to our advantage "I am sure America would have more trade In a united China than in a dis membered one. In fact it would be better for all trading nations. If Germany seized a part of Chlna the United States would have less chance to trade In that section than in .the Russian spheres of influence. We are not at all a trading nation, as the Germans are." Boxers Concentrating. BERLIN, Aug. 27. A dispatch received here from Tien Tsln says large bodies aro concentrating 15 miles northeast of Twang Sun. (As Twang Sun does not appear on any of the available maps or In the Gazet teer, It is possible the Berlin dispatch may refer to "Yang Tsun, on the Pel Ho River, about 16 miles, as the crow files, from Pekln.) NeTr York Police Scored. NEW YORK, Aug. 27. The Rev. W. Brooks, the colored pastor of St. Mark's M. J3. church preached a sermon before a large .congregation last night on "The Story vof the New York Riot." During the sermon the feelings of the congre gation were at fever heat and despite the pastor's frequent admonitions to be calm his hearers twice interrupted the sermon with vigorous applause. He said: "Iave been visiting the riot victims and 'making an investigation. I have a book of acts. What I say here tonight may send me before the courts, possibly to Jail. In making the following charges against the police I invite investigation: Tho clubbing in nearly every case was done by the police. We have not found a single tough character among the victims imaltreated, but honest, hard-working peo ple. Respectable and helpless women who appealed to the police for protection were cursed and threatened for their petition. Men and women prisoners were beaten by the police while getting in and out of the patrol wagon and while on the way to the police station. Men were beaten In the station-house. Men and women were taken from their beds In a nude condition by the police." ' Our Trade "With Ecuador. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27.-General Archibald Sampson, United States Minis ter to Ecuador, has arrived here on a visit to his home in Phoenix, Ariz,, after three years' residence at Quito. He says that he has just concluded a reciprocity commercial treaty with the Ecuadoran Government which he declares will be of decided benefit to both countries. The ex port of flour will be especially fostered under the treaty. Wine Is in excellent demand and flour Is J25 per 100 pounds. This excess price Is 'due to the high duty and the fact that all supplies have to be packed to the City of Quito over a diffi cult trail 31G miles up Into the Andes to an altitude of 10,000 feet. There Is great promise for the development of a large export trade from this port to that coun try. To Mark Soldiers' Graves, WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. Difficulty ex perienced in establishing the identity of burled soldiers, owing to the failure of commanding officers to state precisely tho location of the graves of men dying In the fleld or in the hospital, has prompted the War Department to issue' an' order that whenever conditions make it possi ble, every grave must be carefully marked by a headboard, with -the name, rank and organization of the deceased. Company commanders are to be held re sponsible for this- identification to the ex tent of men who die in the field, and hos pital surgeons are to answer for men dying li the hospitals. A Prlce-McCormick Dividend. NEW YORK, Aug. 27. The Metropoli tan Trust Company began paying a divi dend of 50 per cent in cash today on be half of the readjustment committee to all creditors of Price, McCormlck & Co. who have filed their claims. The first dividend to bo paid by the trust com pany will be In excess of $1,000,000. Storms in Germany. BERLIN, Aug. 27. During the last few days terrific thunder storms have caused much damage In the districts of Stutgart, Lelpelc and Rostock. Near Rostock the crops were destroyed by hall, which lay four Inches thick. In Saxony and Thur lngla, on the other hand, lightning has caused many destructive fires. EXPOSITION AWARDS LATEST LIST FROM THE PARIS FAIR. Those Given to Americans in the Department of Fine Arts.

NOT READY TO MOVE YET. School Board Decide That Ockley Green Mnst Walt for a Building. After six weeks vacation the School Board held a meeting last evening. The matter of removing the Multnomah school building to Ockley Green was dis cussed, and final action was deferred. A reward of $5 was authorized for the ar rest and conviction of any person for breaking windows In schoolhouses with air-guns and bean-shooters. Director Wittenberg was called to the chair. In the absence of President War ren. Director Beach was also absent. Director Thompson, concerning the re moval of the Multnomah school building, said he preferred to make a report when all of the members of the board wero present He stated that he had been to Ockley Green had ascertained that the place can muster 20 pupils In all, which Is not enough to maintain a school. Mr. Wittenberg At the meeting which they held, they claimed to have 84 pupils. Director Thompson They are lining out, there will not bo more than Zl peo ple If the school Is moved there, but they say they are going to have a large settlement. Another thing to observe is our cash account, or we will be get ting behind. Mr. Wittenberg asked how much ground there was at Multnomah and what It was worth, and was Informed by Mr, Thomp son that there are eight lot3 valued at about 54000. Director Wittenberg then said; "It's on ly a matter of business policy if we can afford to move the school. I don't see how they can say they have S4 pupils. We have a pretty good piece of property at Multnomah. If we can sell It and make it take care of the other, I am in favor of moving the building." Thompson explained that it would cost $3400 to move the building and set it up, and a block at Ockley Green In a suitable location can be purchased for $700 to $1000 approximately. The eight lots at Multnomah were worth $4000, but could not be sold now. there being no demand. Director Williams suggested that the change would probably have to be de ferred for another year, while It was true some children would have to go quite a distance to school In the meantime. Mr. Thompson stated that when he In terviewed the residents at Ockley Green he learned there wer quite a number of seventh and eighth grade pupils who would have to go away anyhow. He told the people the school would have only one room, and could not accommodate all of the pupils, and that when he ex plained that ona teacher could not teach pupils In four or five different grade"?, they appeared to be satisfied. He made them understand that the school if moved now would contain only a primary grade, and accommodate the 20 or so small chil dren and the older ones would have to continue to go to Thompson school. While the discussion was in progress mention was made that Francis I. Mc Kenna seemed to be greatly interested In having the school placed at Ockley Green and Mr. Wittenberg suggested in View of this fact that Mr. McKenna might try to sell the Multnomah lots for them, and If he succeeded, then the Multnomah building could be moved. The board has already decided- to move the Multnomah school building from Its present location In Multnomah addition, to Ockley Green, as there Is ample room in the Thompson school for the Multnomah children, and the change does not discommode thom. The only question Is, Shall the building be moved now or later on? Director Thompson, Just before adjourn ment, raised a storm about air-guns and bean-shooters, and said they must be sup pressed. Thirty-four panes of glass have been broken by them In the Brooklyn school, and 28 In Couch school. Mr. Will iams said five panes were out In North Central school, and the buildings gener ally have suffered. Mr. Thompson said It seemed they could not rely on the police, and he moved the board offer a reward of 55 for the arrest and convic tion of any person found breaking wln dows in schools. The attention of Mr. Thompson was called to the fact there was a standing reward of $10 for this offense, and Mr. Thompson moved that this be a special reward to apply to air guns and bean-shooters, which must be put Into disuse. The motion prevailed. Mr. Wittenberg remarked that the jan itors ought to be made special police of ficers. Mr. Thompson said this formerly was tho case. He did not know when the practice stopped. It was Informally de cided by the board, that the Police Com missioners be advised with on the sub ject. Three Ncfirroes Killed. LITTLE ROCK. Ark., Aug. 27.
