At the foreign office It Is said that Russia does not wish to in any way re cede from the basis of the agreement, but she propose a modification of the language submitted in England' text.

Portland, Nov. U. (Editor Astortan) I read your article on the Toswlblll ttea of Dairying" In your papr of today with much Interest. Every word you said was true. I knew the locality you referred to White river valley, King county. Washington, fully 45 years ago; had a personal acquaint ance with almost every settler in that valley. Thomas M. Alvord. who came Into the Puget sound basin In 1S5J from New York state, began clearing p a farm near where Kent now stands to I860, and probably has had as much to do with preparing the way for the condition which now obtains tn that vicinity as any other man. But unrortunately, in your article, you only told half the story or rather, you failed to make the application. In other words, you might have said! truthfully that . Clataon county has greater possibilities for the production of condensed milk section for sec tionthan King county, Wash, has. The area capable for being converted Into dairy farms In King county Is limited: on the other hand, there Is scarcely a mile square in Clatsop coun ty which may not be made available for such purpose when the timber Is taken oft, as It had to be tn King county Time will show that Clatsop county may become one of the greatest dairy counties in Oregon, or In the world. It has all the natural advantages that any other county in Oregon or Wash ington has, and only needs the deter mined, united effort of its own people to make the above statement an as sured fact GEORGE H. HIMES. COMMERCIAL CLUB TEAM TO LIVE UP TO ITS AGREEMENT There is absolutely no foundation for the statement which has appeared to the effect that the Commercial Club football team would decline to meet the Multnomah Club eleven at Port ; land. While members of the Commer ' cial Club entertain the opinion that ; the Multnomah eleven should make the Astoria trip, it is well understood that Astoria promised to go to Portland for the next game, and the date fixed upon, December S, will find the local men on Multnomah's gridiron, striving to de feat the Portland clubmen. An Astoria dispatch in last night's Telegram contained the statement that the Commercial Club team had called eff the proposed match, giving as the reason for the action the refusal of the local men to go to Portland. The dispatch also refers to the alleged lo cal feeling that Multnomah must play here next, and to an arrangement with Manager Watklns, of Multnomah, that his team would consent to come to this elty. The Telegram publishes Mr. Wat kins' statement regarding the matter, in which he says he never agreed to bring the team here and that it can not come. One would Infer from the dis patch and Mr. Watklns' statement that the game was off. "The Commercial team will certainly fill Its engagement with Multnomah," aid Captain Stockton last evening. We would much prefer to play the game here, but it has all along been understood that Multnomah could not or would not make the Astoria trip this season. If we had our way about It, Multnomah would meet us on the Astoria field, but there has never been any such agreement, and we will play at Portland. "We are now endeavoring to secure a game with Multnomah at Portland on Christmas day. Multnomah has no game for Christmas and we would like to meet the Portlanders then. The teams are very evenly matched and a game every week would bring out the crowd. Perhaps matters will be so arranged that the game scheduled for December 3 will be called off and Christmas day substituted. "We realise that It Is more difficult to win away from home than at home. In order to get at the strength of the teams, two games should be played one here and the other at Portland. However, If Multnomah can not come to Astoria, we can go to Portland. So far as Commercial Is concerned. It re gards It as settled that the two club elevens are to meet December 3. We will live np to our agreement." The Commercial eleven has no game in sight for Sunday. Several proposed games have been canceled, as the out side teams have proved themselves too weak to make a good showing with the Commercials. ing the wardroom and wounding a priest, who afterwards died at Tangier from the injuries which he sustained The Russian admiralty contends that this Is additional proof Of the food faith of the vessels which fired on what they believed to be torpedoboats. not having seen either the fishing vessels or their own ships of the cruiser divis ion. Lieutenant Ott, one of thi Rus sian witnesses, will swear positively that he saw flames rising out of four funnels of a low-lying ship. ' Lieutenant Ellis, another Russian witness, who was in a turret of the Russian battleship Alexander III. sighted a gunboat, but did not fire. He declares that he Is positive he saw torpedoboat-destroyer. Captain Claudo also one of the witnesses, Insisted that he saw two torpedo boats, and the de positions of the officers of the Russian transport Kamchatka say they saw four boats resembling torpedoboats.

Lack of common language caused a misunderstanding ef the orders given by the French navigators of the Francois airship to day and resulted In an accident which splintered the prow of the flying ma chine and was indirectly responsible for two large rents in the top of the immense balloon. It was nearly dark when the airship was taken out of the aerodrome today. When released It rose to a height of 35 feet and headed over the north fence of the concourse. When the airship was almost over the fence Francois shouted In French to cut lose. The English-speaking attendants misunder stood and hauled In the guide rope. The pull on the rope exerted the low ering force and the airship crashed Into the fence, breaking the prow. The breaking of the forward sup ports parted the guy ropes and It was found the balloon was raised too high In front to enter the aerodrome door. The top of the balloon scraped agalnBt the roof of the aerodrome, and two holes were torn In the silk covering. DIFFERENCE HAS ARISEN. ef Trouble 'Develops Over Language North Sea Convention.
