Then Hopes to Arrange Treaty Witli

ern Question.
KT. PETERSBURG, April 19. A com
mission headed by Vice-President
Wentzel, of the Kast Chinese Railroad,
left here tonight for Harbin and will
endeavor to arrange directly with the
Chinese authorities a settlement of the
dispute over the administration of Har
bin. Russian officials believe the mis
sion will be accomplished to the satis
faction of China, as well as the United
States and other powers.
As soon as the Harbin difficulty' Is
out of the way it Is probable that Rus
sia will negotiate for an agreement
with the United States on Far Eastern
questions, but the basis of this accord
must be the limitation of the railroad
administration at Harbin strictly to the
terms of the contract, which contem
plated only the exercise within the rail
road zone of the functions necessary to
the operation and defense of the line.

vides that whenever the Board of Slieep
Commissioners regards the sheep of the
state as free from Infectious or conta
gious diseases, it shall have the power to
declare such annual dipping: not required
and such declaration shall be made by
proclamation. Owing: to the healthy con
dition of the flocks It was thought un
necessary to require the sheep to be
dipped this year.
It was found that in the Willamette
Valley especially, sheep are afflicted with
lice and In several Instances losses have
resulted from this pest. It Is urged that
all flock masters dip the sheep to kill
these, as there have been complaints from
Eastern Oregon and Idaho of lousy bucks,
and unless sheep are kept rid of the
parasites, the buyers will be reluctant
to come to the Valley to purchase.
Further, according to Secretary
Smythe's report, sheep In the Willamette
Valley and west of the Cascade Moun
tains are troubled with Intestinal trou
bles, including liver flukes or leaches,
causing considerable loss and making It
almost impossible to raise sheep in cer
tain parts of the Valley. State Sheep
Inspector Lytle was instructed to pre
pare a bulletin on prevalent diseases,
including scab, lice, etc., among sheep
in Oregon, and the secretary was in
structed to have the bulletins published
and cent to every . sheepman in the
state. The secretary was also in
structed to prepare a directory of all
sheepowners in Oregon.
The Hecretary of Agriculture has been
requested to co-operate with the officials
of the state in controlling and eradicat
ing foot-rot and other diseases among
sheep.
A regulation was also adopted requir
ing all bucks brought into the State of
Oregon for breeding purposes to be
dipped af least once and quartered in
some suitable place for a period of, GO
days. This does not apply to bucks
brought into the state for fair or show
purposes.
