After withstanding a siege of eleven months to a day, the Russian forces sur rendered Port Arthur to the Japanese troops Monday, January 2. Port Ar-; tliur is a toial wreck and the original) Russian garrison of 35,000 is reduced to ) 0000 able to bear arms. Eleven thou sand have been killed and 18,000 are fcick or wounded. The cost of the vic tory to the Japs is not known, but it ia undoubtedly much greater than the Russian loss. The financial cost on both sides has been enormous, the ex pense to Rupsia, counting the de struction of the Port Arthur fleet being many times that to Japan. Neither power seems willing to make peace proposals and the end is not in sight.

Mays & Son, Elk City J. A. J. Fleming Newport ! O. R. ALTREE, Toledo, Oregon Senator Mitchell and Congressman Hernianu were indicted by the Federal (41 li J July luel Satul uity allol iiuuu fui complicity in the famous 11-7 land frauds. This action was not unex pected. Everyman in Oregon who is so unfortunate as to be an acquaint ance of S. A. Puter, the ring-leader in the fraud, or who has had any connec tion with public land business, has been marked by Hitchcock as a probable criminal and must stand for the search light. We do dot believe that any citi zen of Oregon who is familiar with the public careers of Senator Mitchell and Congressman Hermann believes them lo be guilty of these charges. Their connection with the affair waa evidently only what fell to them as simple duty to constituents whose honesty they had no reason to question. The Leader believes the gentlemen cannot be con victed except by testimony of witnesses who are already in the criminal class. John II. Hall, United States District Attorney for Oregon, waa removed from office last Saturday by order of Preeb dent Roosevelt, at the request of Fran cis J. Heney, who has been conducting, as the nominal assistant of Mr. Hall, the land fraud cases in this state. This man Heney seems to be a solid Muldoon with tho Administration, pos sibly for the reason that he himself was once convicted of complicity in land frauds, but was pardoned by the President, who probably was influenced by the old adage that it takes a thief to catch a thief. Mr. Hall was removed because Heney charged him with being in sympathy with the accused. The Oregonian's New Year, or Lewis and Clark number, must bo seen and ead to be appreciated. It is too big, too artistic, too meaty, too complete to be described in Tub Leader's limited Kpace. If you want several times your money's worth, send and get a copy; also send several to vour friends in the east. The price 10 cents will carry it. to any address in the United Slates which you may send with your order. The Leader contributes this notice for the food of Oregon. The New Year -number of the Oregot.ian will do good work for the state. Oregon's practically even tempera ture is emphasized by Portland's mar riage record for 1904, one month mak ing about as good a showing as another. In the words of the good old hymu, "December's as pleasant as May" pos sibly a little more so the'record being, December 149, May 101, July and August show 119 and 130, respectively. Come west, young man, come west. Every honest man hopes all the real public land frauds in Oregon will be uncovered, but the powers that be should not stoop to persecution. Ore gon's representatives are just as honest as the representatives of any other stale, and they are entitled to the ben ttt of every doubt which they will hardly get from Hitchcock and Heney. As proof that Portland is growing steadily and giving the. high sign of i ruetropolitanism, or something of that kind, her citizens point with pride to the fact that her "crippled police force" mude 8721 arrests during the year 1904 a 'healthy" gain over the preceding year. Congratulations are in order. The Salc-m Statesman's New Year number is by far tho best special num ber ever is-oed by that progressive newspapet. It is a genuine work of art aud will prove of much yaluo to the Held which it covers. Nebraska will have a big display at , 4he Lewis aud Clark Exposition.. Portland has the jiu-jitsu fever and hold-up artists will 60on find the metrop not such easy picking. The constitution of the United States is real mean. It has just been discov ered that it permits liquor to be shipped iuto prohibition states in the original packages, and state legislation against it doesn't go. It cost Russia $364,01)0,000 to carry on the war with Japan during the year just closed, and the cost in human life has not yet been figured up. The Czar probably thinks by thiB time that Uncle Billy Sherman's definition of war was entirely loo mild. Fun at Our Old Home. Tuesday's blizzard was the worst storm that has visited this section for sixteen years. The storm began Mon day with rain and sleet which soon, turned to snow; this was accompanied by a terrific wind which kept up all day aud until well into the night. Business was practically suspended in town, no one venturing out unless absolutely necessary. The railroad was blocked. and no mail was received at the post olllco after Tuesday 'morning lib til Wednesday evening. Casey (Iowa) Vin dicator, Deo. 29. The I I IVT-' ft I f It Ik - I ' J. C.

Chippendale owes his reputation to ! the fact that he published a book of I designs with over' 200 copperplate ' engravings, so that today any one who 1 wishes may get them and reproduce ' them exactly or with such changes and Improvements as suit bis fancy. That they are capable of Improvement Chippendale himself was the first to i declare. Chippendale was one of the j first makers of mahogany furniture. ! Before his time this precious wood was valued only for the medicinal qualities It was supposed to possess. The idea of making furniture of ma hogany wood appears" to have been the result of chance. A certain physician in London had a great many mahogany planks, and, wanting a candle box, he sent for a cabinetmaker and Instructed him to use the mahogany for the re quired article of furniture. The man objected that the wood was too hard for his tools, and the doctor told him to get harder tools. The man did so, and when the doctor saw the box he was amazed at Its beauty. Patients and friends taljced about It, and at last the Duchess of Buckingham came to see it She was enraptured and per suaded the doctor to give her wood for a similar box. As a result mahogany got to be the fashion. GEORGE HALL M. N. ANDERSON Hall & Anderson Proprietors mmmmmm Foiedo Livery and Feed Stable Good Rigs and well-broken saddle horses.

Howard of Husband, Pennsylvania. "At times she was unable to move at all, while at all times walking was pain ful. I presented her with a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and after few applications she decided it was the most wonderful pain reliever she had ever tried, in fact she is never without it now and is at all limes able to walk. An occasional application of Pain Balm keeps away the pain that she was for merly troubled ith." For sale by O. Q. Krogstad. The I'nlt aa It Waa Originated and Defined by Watt. When steam engines were employed to drive mills, pumps and other ma chinery which had been previously driven by horses, It was natural to at tempt to express the work done by them in terms of the working power of the horse. James Watt was the first to define the unit of horsepower, which by ex periment he found to be 33,000 foot pounds a minute. In other words, a one horsepower engine would raise 33,000 pounds one foot every minute, and so on proportionally to the number of "horsepowers" Indicated by the en gine. He arrlyed at this conclusion by ob serving U10 work done by heavy dray horses in breweries working eight hours daily and found that a home go ing at the rate of two miles and a half an hour could raise a weight of 150 pounds by a rope led over a pulley, which Is equal to 33,000 pounds ritsed one foot In one minute. Watt, for tho credit of his engines,' selected horses of more thun average power. THE ELDER TREE.

In an old play we read, "Laurel for a garland and elder for disgrace." This may have been due to the story which Shake speare has noticed that Judas hanged himself upon an elder tree: Well follow'd; Judas was hanged on an elder. "Love's Labour's Losl." This legend was generally accepted. Ben Jouson In "Every Man Out of His Humour" has, "He shall be your Judas, and you shall be his elder tree to hang on," and Nixon in his "Strange Foot steps," "Our gardens will prospw the better when they have In them not one of those elders whereupon bo many covetous Judases hang themselves."
