SPECIAL CALK.
TOKIO. May 13. Japanese officials here
declare that if a naval battle bfetween
the Russian and Japanese fleets is to be
fought before midsummer, it will have to
be fought before the end of this month.
In support of this contention they argue
that the typhoon season begins early in
June, and that the Russian vessels are
not In condition to withstand any very
severe storms. Therefore, It Is said, Ro

ST. PETERSBURG. May 12. The work

Incendiary proclamations and also are
trying to terrorize the shopkeepers by
sending them threats to pillage their
stores unless they close.
Many fantastic reports are in - circula
tion to the effect that workmen are drill
ing In the neighboring forests, testing
bombs, etc. Nevertheless, the authorities
appear quite confident, saying that the
main danger Is that the agitators will
force the workmen Into collisions with
the police and troops.
Several local societies have formally re
quested the town council and Governor
General to permit the. workmen to meet,
parade and make pacific demonstrations.
General Trepoff said he would be glad to
agree to this. if he had any assurance
that the hotheads Would not display flags,

The official account of the disorders says
that a general massacre was only pre

ing the following:
"On April '22. 300 armed Jews assembled

Emperor as a target. When the peasants,
attracted by the firing, protested against
this us6 of the Emperor's portrait, the
Jews explained that the Israelites would
soon govern Russia, a few days later
a Jew struck a Christian boy of 13 years,
who used a pocketknlfe to defend himself.
He was immediately surrounded by a
crowd of threatening Jews, and was only
resetted by the police. Still later, while
several Jews, sentenced for .political
crimes, w'ere being conveyed to prison,
their ed-religionists made a demonstra

other Instance the Jews sel upon a Chris

NO FLAX MILL FOB SALEM
Project Is Postponed Till More
Straw Is Raised.
All of the flax grown in Oregon wiil
be from this time on shipped to New
York mills and no further effort will be
made to build and operate a mill In this
state for the next two years, at least.
This Is the decision that has been -reached
by Eugene Bosse and those Interested
with him In the raising of flax In the
Willamette Valley.
The flax industry has had a varied ex
istence In Oregon during the past few
years, and the long-cherished plan to
build and operate a mill at Salem will
have to be abandoned for tho time, at
least. There i not at present enough
flax grown In the state to make a mill
pay, and flaxmlll men will not establish X
mill here until more flax Is grown. On
the other hand, the farmers of the Valley
will not grow, more flax unless there Is a
mill here to take -care of their straw. It
has 'been determined by calculation that
a ton of flax straw when reduced would
yield approximately 293 pounds of fiber.
This will coil tlSM or about 6V cents a
pound laid down In New York. Working
on this baslsv It has been figured by Mr.
Boose that if the fiber could be shipped
at a rate of 1 cent a pound or 51 a hun
dred pounds from the state to the- New
York mills It would he possible to take
care of all flax grown In Oregon.
After conference with the Southern Pa
cific It has been agreed by that road to
make the required rate, and It Is an
nounced to be now it effect. It is esti
mated by the promoters of the Industry,
If the rate Is maintained, as it will be,
that it will be possible 16 educate the
farmers of the state to the advantage of
flax-raising, and thus be able to so In
crease the output In a couple of years
that there win be ample straw grown to
furnish a good-sized mill with material
for the manufacture ot the coarser grades
of linens. It Is the Intention of Mr. Bosse
and his associates, therefore, to abandon
the effort to build until such a time as
the .flax crop" of " the" state will-' Warrant
the construction of a mill, but wSen that
time comes there will he plenty of East
ern capital to finance the construction of
aa up-to-date plant.

ognize the kidneys as the cause ot
your many aches and pains, and to cure
the kidneys use a kidney medicine.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure slok kid
rteya and cure them permanently. The
kidneys begin to do their work prop
erly, and pure blood, the craateSt sys
tem regulator, restores the whole body
to health and strength.
Kidney diseases cause m6re deaths
than any other human affliction. This
Is because- they come oh so silently,
and are. therefore, neglected.
When the kidneys are" well, they re
move from the body every day nearly
on ounce of uric acid and other polsqn
ous waste.
When the kidneys are sick, this poi
son is carried by the blood to every
part of the body. It causes rheuma
tism, gout, neuralgia, sciatica, gravel,
stone In the kldjjeys, heart disease, In
digestion, diabetes and Bright's dis
ease. Doan's Kidney Pills act promptly
and give complete relief,- because their
influence Is exerted directly upon the
diseased tissues. This medicine has
