" IiOTr by ne Storm Only Frog.
xnentary Information Xa
at Hand.
ST. PAUL. July 15. Tremendous damage
and, it Is thought, great Iobs of life, were
caused by a terrific wind ctorm which
early tonight swept In a southwesterly
direction from the international boundary
across the northeastern portion of North
Dakota. Three towns, according to the
meager reports which are obtainable at
midnight, were totally wiped out. Tele
graph lines are wrecked and there is no
communication with the section where
the most serious devastation Is thought
to have been worked by the tornado.
The little town of Borup, on the St.
Vincent line of the Great Northern, is an
absolute wreck. The final report tonight
was that the entire town was wiped out
and hardly a structure of any sort left
standing. This came from a Great North
ern telegraph operator, who, after his
office had been laid fiat, saved his key
from the ruins and tapped the wire at
the nearest available point. He also re
ported the razing of a hamlet some miles
distant, with the destruction of a large
amount of property.
From the St. Vincent branch came re
ports that the town of Eldorado, about
eeven miles from Grand Forks, and
Thompson, between Grand Forks and Lar
irmore had been destroyed. At Thomp
son the Great Northern station lies a con
fused mass of wreckage, directly across
the main line. Stores and residences are
in ruins and the main portion of the
town is wiped out. The population is
about 200.
Fragments of information coming from
Eldorado indicate the destruction of the
town of 250 people. Neither the report
from Thompson nor that from Eldorado
speaks of the loss of life.
The reports indicate that the tornado de
veloped southwest of the Lake of the
"Woods country and took a course down
across the northern portion of the state,
traveling toward the southwest.
LIGHTXIXG STRIKES OIL.
Large Fart of the Jennings Field, in
, LoulMlana, la Burning:.
JENNINGS, La., July 15.-rDurIng a
heavy electrical storm that passed over
the Jennings oil field today a bolt of light
ning struck the field storage tanks of
the Jennings OH Company, setting them
on fire. The flames spread to the der
ricks of the company, adjoining, and In
a short time the derricks and tanks were
destroyed. Burning streams of oil from
the tanks ran In the direction of Coulee.
All workmen on the field immediately
stopped operations and set about throw
ing up levees so as to prevent as far as
possible the spreading of the fire. In a
short time, however, another tank had
broken loose, and the wind had driven the
flames into the derricks of the Southern,
Northern and Crescent Oil Companies,
but they In some manner escaped de
struction. The fire is still raging tonight,
and the safety of the field depends upon
the strength of Jennings No. 2. The oil
is leaking ardund this tank, and, togeth
er with the. gas, is burning fiercely, send
ing a blaze high into the air, and the en
tire field Is threatened.
JENNINGS, La,,July 10, 1 A. M. The
fire has burned all of the packing out
of the valve on which so much depends,
and the flames are spouting as high as the
derrick. It Is feared the top of the pipe
will burn off and the flames will spread
to the derricks and adjoining tanks.
TALK OVER IMMIGRATION
Railroad Men Address Salem Com
mercial Clnb.
SALEM, Or., July 15. The Greater Sa
lem Commercial Club held an enthuslas-
tic meeting at the City Hall this even
ing, when there were present W. E.
Coman, general passenger agent of the
Southern Pacific Railroad: J. P. Jones,
traveling passenger agent of the South
ern Pacific; R. M. Hall, advertising agent
of the O. R. & N.; G. M. McKInney, gen
eral Immigration agent of the Harriman
lines, and his staff, consisting of C. Mac
kenzie, 'W. H. Burke. I. N. Cochran and
H. A. Townsend. A'ter addresses In
which the visitors outlined the work they
proposed to carry on in behalf of West
ern Immigration, a motion was unani
mously carried ordering that the Commer
cial Club place in the hands of Mr. Mc
KInney, for distribution, 100,000 copies of
a pamphlet advertising Salem and vicin
ity. The visitors arrived this afternoon, and
were taken for a three-hours' drive
through the country districts.
At the meeting this evening President
Thlelson presided, and, after speaking
briefly In commendation of the immigra
tion work tho Southern Pacific has al
ready "undertaken, he Introduced Mr. Mc
KInney as head of the immigration bureau
recently organized by Harriman. Mr.
McKinney explained the scope of the work
of his department, saying, among other
things, that he will concentrate his ef
forts upon the upbuilding of all tho ter
ritory reached by the Harriman lines, and
that his work will be of a general nature
In Western jOregon, Eastern Oregon and
Southeastern Washington. He said he
could not undertake to attract immigra
tion to any particular locality except by
distributing such literature as may be
furnished him by local commercial clubs
and In encouraging people after they have
expressed Interest in some locality. In
other respects, he will represent all re
gions equally.
The Harriman lines have 426 agencies
In Middle Western States through which
literature will be distributed, and immi
gration agents will be sent to work per
sonally with those who may probably be
Induced to move West. Having worked
10 years In Immigration work in Washing
ton, and having learned something of the
resources of Oregon, Mr, McKlnney said
he would predict that this trip of him
self and staff would result In twice as
much Immigration as has gone to Wash
ington in six years. He told of the ef
forts that Walla Walla. Pendleton, Spo
kane, Albany and other towns are put
ting forth to secure Immigration, and
urged that Salem do her part.
General Passenger Agent Coman ad
dressed the meeting upon the plan of the
work, and received hearty applause when
he said that in the lmn "ration work of
the Harriman lines, Ore- i will have her
share of attention, and hat all special
settlers' rates will apply to Western Ore
gon, i
Advertising Agent Hall, of the O. R. &
N., spoke of the need of special effort In
immigration work at this time, when
euch large numbers of people in the Mid
dle West are desirous of moving to the
Coast, and urged that he people of West
ern Oregon take advantage of the best
opportunity they have ever had to dis
tribute information through channels
which will place it where it will do the
most good.
Enthusiastic addresses were made by
several members of the club, appreciative
of the Interest the Harriman lines are
taking In this work, and there was a
unanimity of feeling in favor of pledglnjr
the utmost co-operation on the part of
the club.
The visiting railroad men left tonight
for Ashland, -where they will hold a
meeting tomorrow night. They will re
turn by special train, stopping at various
places along the line.
It is generally felt here that this Is
the beginning of a movement that will
de elop Oregon faster than has ever been
contemplated before.
WILSON CARRIES PRIMARIES.
County Convention Will Be Conduct
ed In His Interest.
SPOKANE, Wash., July 16.-John L.
Wilson, acordlng to all Indications, won a
sweeping victory in the Spokane County
primaries today, and the county conven
tion Friday will doubtless be controlled
In his interest. Of the 210 delegates In
the city, the Wilson men claim 175, white
the anti-Wilson people concede that Wil
son has a slight majority. The antl
Wllson men claim that the country pre
cincts will show that they have a clear
majority of the convention. The Wilson
men are already figuring on their candi
date for chairman of Friday's conven
tion. So are the anti-Wilson men, out
they do not appear to be confident of
being able to elect a chairman. If Wll- j
son controls the convention, he will prob
ably be Indorsed for United States Sen
ator.

THE MOpERN JEWS.
Mysteries of Their Descent and
Physiological Changes.
' 'Chicago Tribune.
The modern Jews are not a race of pure
descent from an original stock, but are a
people of mixed orjgln. That is the latest
conclusion of scientific investigators.
There are at present two branches of the
Jewish people quite diverse In character
isticsthe Sephardim. or Southern Jews,
descendants of the Spanish and Portu
guese Jews, now found mostly In North
Afrlcn wlin nlnlm f!pcfnt from the tribe
of Judah; and the Ashkenaztm of Polish ,
Russia and Europe, who assert descent
from the tribe of Benjamin.
There are. It Is saiq, so"me 9,000.000 Jews
scattered over every part of the earth,
about nine-tenths of them being of the
Ashkenazim type, which Is heavy fea
tured In every way. The mouth Is large,
nose thlcklsh at the end, lips full, hair
and eyes black, face full, and head mark
edly short and round (brachycephallc) :
while the Sephardim Jew Is long-headed,
thln-llpped, with dark eyes and hair, but
sometimes with a tendency to red hair,
said to be derived from a cross with the
ancient blonde Amorltes. Th Jew Is
everywhere short In stature, the average
in Russia being five feet four inches, a
peculiarity which is attributed largely to
their persecution; although tho tallest
Jews under the most favorable conditions,
as in England, never reach over five feet
nine Inches. This Is taken to indicate
that the original Jew was of the dark,
short type, which Is the Mediterranean
race.
But which Is the primitive form of head,
round or long? Is the Jew Asiatic in
origin or African? The southern Jew has
the African long head and brunette type;
the northern Jew is round headed, which
is the Asiatic, typified by the Alpine race
In Europe. Or has the European Jew,
through centuries of conflict and oppres
sion, taken on the round head? Every
where the Jewish people have taken the
head form of the races about them, as
well as the stature. But one explanation
Is given admixture of races in medieval
times before the Jews were gathered to
gether In ghettos, as has been the case
for hundreds of years In Europe, but
which did not prevail at an earlier day.
Upon these facts and others Is based the
conclu&ion that the Jews, the nomads of
civilization, the only people except the
gypsies who are without a country, are
not a race, but a people who have taken
from many sources the features that char
acterize them, and which have made one
of the greatest peoples upon the earth.
There are 4,000,000 or 5.000,000 Jews In
Polish Russia, 2,000.000 In Austria-Hungary.
500,000 m Germany, a like number In
Roumanla, 100,000 In England, practically
none In Sweden, Scotland or Ireland, few
In Spain or Italy, and possibly 250,000 in
America. There are many In North Af
rica, but the number constantly decreases
toward Palestine and Egypt, the lands
which saw their greatness and their de
cline. '
A SInnder Disproved.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Incredulity naturally arises with regard
to that story that a monkey was one of
the dinner guests at Newport. We doubt
Its veracity. Nevertheless, If It Is true,
the most cogent comment Is that of the
New York Post, which says it disproves
the slander that the Newport people are
ashamed of their ancestry.

JAPAN'S NAVAL EXPANSION
FOURTEEN AVAR VESSELS TO BE
BUILT IX NEXT SIX YEARS.
Little Faith Placed In Torpedo Boats
Provisions for the Training
of Officers.
TOKIO. July i. via Victoria, B. C July
15. The question of Japan's proposed na
val expansion appears to be shrouded In
utter uncertainty. According to the Nip
pon, almost all the departments contem
plate making their estimates for the next
fiscal year as largo as possible so as to
leave only a small margin available for
the expansion of the navy. Tho naval
authorities, on the other hand, arc said to
be determined to acnleve the object of the
expansion, despite any obstacles that may
arise. The plan of the expansion decided
upon by the Naval Department Is to build
In six years four battle-ships, four first-
class cruisers and six second-class cruls
ers. The Japanese naval office seems not
to place much confidence In torpedo-boats,
which are regarded much more as instru
ments of defense than of offense. So long
as tho fortifications are strongly armed
there-is not much use of torpedo-boats. It
Is, therefore, believed that the'expendlture
to be allotted for the construction of torpedo-boats
will be used for the strength
ening of the fortifications. Regarding
the training of officers to be distributed to
the newly built warships, It is said that
last year 230 students were admitted into
tho college, and ISO more will be admitted
this year. When the 14 new men-of-war
are finished, after six years, these men
will be fit to take their places In them.
Kim Chal Sok, the Corcao who was
sent to Japan some years ago to assassi
nate Corean refugees, who were plotting
against the Corean Emperor, butvfalled In
his purpose, being expelled from Japan,
recently Informed his Emperor that the
refugees were plotting with the Minister
of Foreign Affairs of Japan to -make Corea
a republic He asked the Emperor to
Increase the reward for each refugee from
10,000, yen to 20,000 yen. N
Prince Boris Vladimlrovltch, a Russian
Grand Duke. Is being received here with
imperial honors. He arrived on the Rus
sian battle-ship Sevastopol, and has since
been personally decorated by the Emperor,
by whom he was received In special audi
ence. He proposes visiting the entire
country, and Is attended by a guard of
honor attached to his suite by the Em
peror, consisting of half a company of
royal cavalry guards. It Is believed that
the visit indicates a desire on the part ot
Russia to establish more Intimate rela
tions with Japan.
Copies of a general report anent the
Perry monument, which was unveiled in
July last j'ear, beautifully framed, have
been recently presented to the Japanese
Emperor and Crown Prince, through
Baron Kaneko, president of the-Amerlcan
Friends' Association.
John Barrett, Commissioner-General of
the St. Louis Exhibition, left Nagasaki
for Shanghai June 29.
Despite the fact that Japan is enjoying
the expected downpour of the "rainy sea
son," the "glorious Fourth" was quietly
but enthusiastically celebrated by loyal
American residents.
The United States men-of-war Kentucky
and New Orleans left Nagasaki for Kla
Chou Bay June 2S. This Is said to be the
first time any American warships have
proceeded there.
Considerable interest was taken here in
the news that Messrs. Rosenthal and
Cohen, of the firm of A, S. Rosenthal & i
Co., the largest Importers of Japanese silk
in America, had Deen arrested in New
York on the charge of defrauding the cus
toms, and the fact was made the text by
Japanese papers for homilies on the "un
scrupulous dealings" of foreigners. The
members of the local branch of the firm
Involved are necessarily reticent, but ex
press no doubt that the matter will bo
satisfactorily 'cleared up. From, silk ex

The explosion was felt severely on board

the Germans. It Is naturally repugnant
to the natlonaj. feeling that weapons

German troops. And Germany has an
arbitrary way of settling national ques

than to the Individual.
The dairy schools ot Russia have brought
that country to the front as one of the fore
most producers ot butter, cheese and milk In
the world.

soaps, as no one would

disguised. Beware of a
soap that depends on
something outside of it.
Pears', the finest soap
in the world is scented or
not, as you wish ; and the
money is in the merchan
dise, not in the box.
