RUSSIANS ARE DRAWING
SCATTERED FORCES TOGETHER
Kuropatkin Given Command of First Army
Linievitch Says Japanese Are Plan
ing Enveloping Movement
Tokin, March 22. Reliable reports
from the front state that the Japan
ese vanguard is still on the march
north of Kauyton. No trace of the
enemy is found south of the great
wall. Indications are that the Rus
sians will make a stand between
Chang Chun and Kirin. They are
constructing defenses on the line be
tween these two places.
St Petersburg, March 22. Linie
vitch reports today that on Monday
the Russian advance posts observed
Japanese cavalry in large numbers,
behind which appeared numerous
bodies of infantry, near the village of
Mechantzy. This is taken here to
mean that Kawamura's army is about
to attempt the enveloping movement
from the Russian rear, and fear is
expressed as to the probable outcome.
A dispatch to Reuters states that
the Russian army has reached a place
of safety, bat the irregulars and
stragglers were cut off by the Japa
nese. The place of the Russian ren
dezvous is not given.
A dispatch from GunshuPass, dated
the 20th, stated: "Our rearguard

Tieling. The enemy continues to fol
low, but pursuit is slow. The main
Japanese army is apparently remain
ing in Tieling. Our four days' rest
at Tieling gave us a chance to reor
ganize the army, and the march has
continued orderly. Many of our
horses and cattle died of exhaustion.
Columns moved along on half a dozen
roads parallel to the railway. The
report of a force of irregulars which
was operating eastward was cut off
before the news of the battle of
Mukden reached them, and compelled
them to retire to the northeast, is
probably making for Kirin."
A dispatch from Gunshu Pass, 108
miles north of Tie Pass, stated that
Kuropatkin arrived there yesterday
and will assume command of the first
army. He received a great ovation
from the troops. This place, which
has a large railroad station and a
Red Cross settlement, with all the
army facilities, is now an enormous
camp, with an overflow of soldiers.
Booming guns were heard to the
right today.

PUTER GANG
STILL OPERATING
Salem March 21 In spite of being
turned down by the state government,
the McKinley-Puter crowd are believed
to be still operating in etate lands.
'nder conviction in the federal courts,
thev are oat on bail, pending an appeal
and unable to get hold of federal lands,
they are carrying on a large business ic
state school lands.
One of the firm generally makes head
quarters at the state house, and has
access to the books and records of the
tate land office, under the theory that
hey are public records, open to an?
itizen. It is stated that most of the
lands that Puter has secured or wanted
to eecare, were worthless, and the atate
is simply out money by not letting him
have them.
The method is to secure worthless
state lands, and represents them as be
ing contiguous to some reclammation
project, and thus unloaded them on
some guileless purchaser, who is, by
this process, swindled, and the etate, in
allowing this to be done, becomes indi-
rectlv a party to the transaction.
When the governor returns it is ex
pected that the state land board will
again take up the Puter case, and some
imit will be put on the use of the
public records for the process of al
ienating public lands. If the lands
have any value, the state shou'd get
that value out of them without employ-
ng the methods that are open to serious
objection of any kind.
WANTS TO KNOW
HOW SISTER DIED
Cottage Grove, Or., March 20
Whether Miss Eva Davenport died by
suicide or murder is to be determined.
f possible, by C. F. Flaiskey, brother of
the dead woman, who has just come
here from the Middle West to investi
gate her death. Miss Davenport died a
ittle over two weeks ago, under very
peculiar circumstances, a coroners' jury
pronouncing death due to suicide. Lee
Minard, a local saloon keeper was the
first to find the body, which bore a nas
tv wound on the head. Mr. Flaiskey
has made no statement of his intentions.
The young woman left 1675 in the
oca! bank and property worth about
I W0. Minard was appointed adminis
trator of her estate and, it is said, al-
egee that the young woman owed him
money nearly in the sum of the value
of her estate-. The brother of the girl
will also investigate this matter to de
termine whether this claim is .valid or
not. A second brother of the girl has
now arrived on the scene.
Minard's Appointment Revoked
Tuesday afternoon County Judge
Chrisman revoked the letters of ad
ministration recently granted Lee
Minard, a Cottage Grove saloon keeper,

appointed administrator of of the estate
upon petition of the dead woman's
brother, Chas. F. Flaiskey, who has
come out trom rieber, Minn., to look
after his sister's property.
The estimated value of the property is

HASTY BULLET
STRIKES YOUTH
Eugene, March 21. Amos Hills, 14-
year-old son of J. S. Hills of Mabel, SO
miles northeast of Kugene, lies in the
hospital here with a dangerous gunshot
wound in bis head, having been acci
dent iy shot by Miss Mabel Workman
while at target practice with a 22 -caliber
rifle.
Young Hills was employed in N. G.
Hyland's logging camp, near "Mabel.
The girl is employed as assistant cook
for the camp. In tbe evening a num
ber o' the younger members of the camp
took t he rifle and began shooting at a
mark. Young Hills handed the gun to
Miss Workman and "bet" that eke
could not hit the stovepipe protruding
from the roof of the cook shanty. She
placed the rifle on a limb to take aim,
when in some manner it was accidental
ly discharged and the ball struck the
boy over the right eye. It partially pen
etrated the skull and ranged backward
lodging somewhere near the right ear.-
Help was at onoe summoned and tbe
boy was taken to his borne. A physi
cian from Springfield was sent for, but
as he could not locate the bullet it was.
thought best to bring the boy to Eugene
and place him in the hospital. He is
now resting easily, bnt is not yet con
sidered out of danger. The bullet has
not yet been removed.
SEARCHING RUINS

Brockton, Mass., March 21, The
work of searching the ruins at the (i ro

The body of Engineer Kockweil was
found this morning in the engine room.
This makes the 11th body identified and
the 56th recovered. A full Hat of -the
employes cannot be recovered until the
fireproof vault is reached, which will
probably not be opened for 24 hours.
ECONOMY IN BETTER
ROADS IN OREGON.
Grants Pass Good Road Meeting Large
ly Attended this Week.
W. E. Coman, of the Southern Pacific Company,
Demonstrates by Facb and Figures
the Savings in Good Roads
Grants Pass, Or, March 21 Interest
ing statistics in connection with lite
good roadd movement were presented at
the convention of ttie Southern Oregon
Daitrict of Oregon liood Road Associa
tion here this afternoon, when W. K.
Coman, of the Southern Pacific, talked
on "The Standpoint of Railroad Inter
ests to the Good Roads Movement.
In showiug partly what could be save!
the Western Oregon farmer in the wear
and tear on harness, vehicles and horses
with better roads, Mr. Coman used the
following table of amounts produced :
Hope 1 7, 000, t W0 pound", ovjual to S,-
500 wagonloads of 2000 pounds.
Wool 2,500,000 pmnds, equal to
1250 wagonluads of 2000 p Hinds.
Potatoe-i 75.000,000 pounds, e-jnal to
25,000 wagonloadn of 3000 pounds.
Wheat and oats 3J0,0OO,000 pounds
equal to 90,000 wagonloads of 4000
pounds.
Dried fruit 15,000,000 pound? equal
to 5000 wagonloads of 3000 pounds.
Green truit 10,500,000 pounds, espial
to3500 wagonloads of 3000 pounds.
"This," be said, "makes a total of
133,250 wagonloads, of less than 3000
poands each. Then taking as an aver
age haul three miles per load and plac
ing the cost approximately (1.20 per
load, this means an expense of 200,000
for the hauling of only a few commodi
ties. 1 think it fair to say that the
year round our farmers would haul
twice as much per load on the average
with properly built and maintained
roads as they are hauling at present.
On this basis it can readily be seen that
a vast amount of money can ! expen
ded in building public highways in
Western Oretron as a profitable invest
ment to our people, and the saving
expense to the farmer, which from the
above'ean be partially realized, repre
sents just so much value in money to
him, or to put it in another way, any
expense save. I in transporation is just
so mil. h added saved to net production.
"When we consider that there are
only 17,300 farms in this vast expanse of
country, which could have 173,000 farms
and still not be crowded, we can realize
to some extent what the situation will
be in the near future, as our prospects
for immigration from the less favored
sections of the United States in the way
of climate, assurance of crops, etc., are
of the brightest. J might add that in
this respect these same less favored sec
tions comprise pretty much the balance
of this country. We must prepare for
this coming condition, an 1 in my mind
in no way can we commence to better
advantage than by this good roads
movement of vonrs."

WANT TO START
MODEL SALOONS
Los Angeles, March 21. A syndicate
of 1. s Angeles capitalists has made in
good faith a proposal to the city attor
ney and board of police commissioners
to liave the present 200 liquor licensee
revoked, and instead 50 or 75 licenses
issued to the company. The members
would place their saloons in charge of
competent persons, under such regula
tions as do not now exist in any Ameri
can city. Treating would be considered
a misdemeanor. Coffee and soft drinks
l served, as well as intoxicants,
and a forfeit would be paid for every
(rink Fold to an intoxicated person
the ilrii. king places would be made at
tractive, and the prices uniform.
But for the fact that th's proposal is
-eriously backed by a number of men of
c;i. th, it would lie taken as a joke. A
.ormal offer is made to guarantee the
city f IS0.000 per year for the exclusive
privilege, and to spend a liberal amount
in public improvements. The syndicate
will make tbe offer, and if it is refused
will assist in the present strenuous cam
paign to bring to a vote in Los Angeles
the question of saloons or no saloons.

eral stormed at them : "How dare
you leave your men at such a moment?
Back with you nt once. Where is your
regiment?" "Here, Bir" replied one of
ficer. "What! Is that all?" the General
exclaimed in horror. "Yes, sir: this is
