CONFIDEN T SCOTT
New Chwang. Aug. 4.—According to
word received today the Russians at
Pori Arthur have been driven back
to their last line of defense. The
Japanese have 35-• guns in action.
The feeling in Port Arthur and. the
Russian dt-.enses is now of conster
nation and fear, .»eset by the irre
sistible armies of Japan by land and
the harbor guarded by Japanese ves
sels at sea. the Russians feel that the
supreme struggle in the Orient is
now near at hand.
The land forces of the Japanese are
crowding closer and closer, the Rus
sian position having been all sur
rendered to the last line of defenses
protecting Port Artuur.
The Japanese artillery maneuvers
are said to be magnificent. The
marksmanship is perfect and the ter
rible effect of the 350 guns has been
felt by the Russians as they have
retreated from one position to anoth
er during the past four days.
A feeling of uneasiness now per
vades all the Orient ard increased
activity among foreign vessels in the
Orient is noticeable, in anticipation
of the almost certain surrender of
the Russian stronghold.
The Japanese advances have been
made sys.emaacally, coolly, decisive
ly, without any show of effort and
the Russian troops are changing their
contempt into fear.

ASOTIN COUNTY CROPS
Red Wheat is Now Graded
With Bluestem.
The Asotin Sentinel says:
lt is
atej that all grain buyer* of this
secaon. this year, will class the Jones
.-.•d wheat aioug with the bluesiem.
ind will pay the same price for it.
The Asotin mill concluded last year
I.at it was the equal of bluestem, and
>aiil as high as eight cents per bushel
more lor it than for club wheat and
it her varieties.
The Jones wheat, straight through
his season, will likely briug five
etts more than it has sold hereto
fore
Experienced millers say it
makes as high grade of flour as blue-
.tem, ana that is what counts.
Last year Angus. Gollnlck of Ana-
.one. secured a peek of the Minnesota
hard wheat and planted it on his
place, and from that received about
eight bushels, all of which he agaiu
planted this year.
From last year’s sowing, however,
i small volunteer patch came up. and
from appearances It is going to prove
of a first-class quality. This bit of
the volunteer grain is likely to prove
a good thing and bring about some
beneficial results.
The Minnesota bard wheat, in Min
nesota. is grown as a spring grain,
but if the climatic conditions of this
section can convert it Into a good
grain to be sown in the fail, and made
to yield as good a quality as is grown
in Minnesota, it means that more
money can be made in the raising of
wheat by Eastern Washington farm
ers.
The Minnesota wheat is rated as
the best wheat produced in the Unit
ed States, and brings a higher price;
and Mr. Barron, the Asotin miller,
tavs millers would, aud could afford
to pay fully 10 cents more per bush
el for such grain, and he Lcqes that
a thorough test will be made, now
that an experiment ha* been under
taken.
