CORVALLIS OREGON EVENTS OF THE DAY Comprehensive Review of the Import ant Happeniags of the Past Week, Presented in Condensed Form, Most cJkely to Prove Interesting. Turkey and Montenegro are on the verge of war. John Mitchell Is expected to suc ceed Wright as labor commissioner. Secretary Hay has addressed an other note to the powers in regard to China. Senator Hoar accuses Senator Foraker and others of misrepresenting him on his Panama stand. TnrVpv and "Bnlearia are both mafc ing great preparation and war in the Balkans is considered . near. Senator Foster must give up his bill or the state of Washington will not be divided into two judicial dis tricts. Burton, of Ohio, has joined the op position to the naval appropriation bill, contending the amount is too large. John Garber, of San Francisco, has declined the appointment as canal commissioner, but some California . engineer is almost sure to get the ap pointment. Seven life convicts in the New Mexico penitentiary overpowered the superintendent and made a dash for liberty, but were subdued by guards. Senator Hansbrough has introduced a bill to end the lieu land evil. The Czar is much downcast over the war and appears little in public. Fourteen people met death in a Paris factory from an explosion. Russians expect Japan to lay siege to Port Arthur and are preparing for a long resistance. The Czar will likely proceed to the front in the spring to take personal command of the army. Japan has had a dispute with China regarding a Russian gunboat which took refuge at Shanghai. General Kouropatkin is to command the Russian army, aided by two grand dukes, uncles of the Czar. The Porto Rican has demanded that they be admitted to statehood or that the island be granted independence. Perry S. Heath has resigned as sec retary of the National Republican committee. Elmer Dover will tempo rarily succeed him. Presbyterian churches of the Unit ed States have agreed upon a plan of union. Russia has abolished the censor ship on all news excepting war move ments. Mitchell Is sure to head the inter oceanic canal committee if Piatt does not want the place. The British press warns the na tion to be prepared for an alliance by the powers against her. St. Louis constables precipitated a riot, in which six men were shot, by attempting to close a poolroom across the river in Illinois. Russia is said to be preparing to evacuate Port Arthur and make Har bin her headquarters. This is claim ed to be a much better point of rant- j age. The house Is considering the naval appropriation bill. It is the desire to have a navy which will be second to none in the world. The bill carries $14,000,000 more than last year's ap propriation. The house has passed the fortifica tion bill. Insurance companies find the Balti more fire losses were overestimated. Canada is placing heavy modern guns in all of her coast fortifications. Abner McKinley is seriously ill. A number of his relatives have been called. Tillman has re-introduced his bill in the senate to grant ex-Queen Liliuokalani a gratuity. A number of additional indictments will be made in connection with the Hyde-Benson land conspiracy. Two hundred and fifty picked ship wrights have been sent to Port Ar thur to hurry repairs on Russian war vessels. Russia is greatly surprised that Hay did not wait for its reply before tell ing of reception by powers of his Chinese note. The Lewis and Clark Fair bill will not be reported to the house until the c ommittee learns more of the needs of the exposition. Japan now has 120,000 men . in Corea. Woman suffragists will hold their 1905 convention in Portland. Hanna left an estate valued at be tween $7,000,000 and $8,000,000. Russia will prepare for action by Britain threatening her hold in. Thibet and Persia. A Sydney, Australia mob caused Dowie to quit the stage and suddenly leave the city. Russians are very cruel to foreign ers at Niu Chwang and a reign of terror is feared. An explosion is reported to have occurred at Port Arthur which badly wreched the forts. The death of Senator Hanna will probably make Senator Mitchell chairman of the committee on inter oceanic canals. Heavy landslides in California have blocked railroad traffic. Foraker officially notified the sen ate ef the death of Hanna and Gros venor the house. Both bodies adopted resolutions and took other steps to honor his memory. ON TO THE NORTH. Japanese Land Forces Advancing on Ping Yang. Wei Hal Wei, Feb! 24. On Febru ary 19 the Haimun arrived at Chemul po and started for a private anchorage that had been arranged for. Con spicuous at the entrance of the har bor were the wrecks of the Russian vessels that had been sunk after the engagement with the Japanese. Sal vage operations had already begun on the Variag and the divers were at work on the sunken cruiser. Japanese army corps was being landed In three divisions. The 12th division had already disembarked and the Imperial Guards were to follow immediately. A general advance on the road to Ping Yang is expected : soon. The methods of the Japanese excite the greatest admiration from all for eign military experts who witness them. British officers declare openly that it is an improvement over any thing in their experience and state that it indicates an organization su perior to anything In Europe. Japan's action in Corea amounts to an acceptance of responsibility for the safety of foreigners throughout Corea and all apprehensions of local dis turbances have been allayed . The original scheme on the part of the Japanese Board of Strategy has been to land at Masampho and march northward, but the naval victories changed all this and enabled the transports to land at Chemulpo. While the Russian-Siberian squadron re mains intact at Vladivostok it is re garded as unlikely that Japan will attempt to land troops on the East ern coast. The road so far as Hwang Ju is good. It is flanked by paddy fields, which are at present frost bound and covered with two inches of ice. The conditions are such that it would be almost impossible for the Russians at present to check the Jap anese advance. However, the district between the Yalu River and Ping Yang is of such strategic value as to necessitate strenuous efforts on the part of both combatants to occupy it. Success by the Russians in this re spect will render Chemulpo untenable as a base by the Japanese. On the other hand, should the Japanese suc cessfully occupy it, they will have'-'a clear field and an open sea behind them, over which they can hurry addi tional troops as they are needed. BLACK SEA FLEET MUST GO. Russia Again Negotiating for Passage Through the Dardanelles. New York, Feb. 24. The Herald Las the following cable from its St. Petersburg correspondent: "I have received further corrobora tion that active negotiations are in progress for the passage of the Dar danelles by the Russian Black Sea fleet. I am further informed that this is the reason why such pains have teen taken of late to obtain the good will of Austria. Germany will very probably be willing to further Russia's plan, being glad enough to find there by means of realizing her well-known rimbitions in Asia Minor and let Rus sia weaken herself In fighting the Far East. Russia knows all this, but is nevertheless eager to get her ships through, even if it is necessary to adopt the subterfuge of altering their appearance, disguising them as mer chantmen. The Porte is almost will ing, and if England makes any ob jection to the passage it will be the signal for an immediate advance to ward India. "The Russian government has just chartered from a local firm of ship owners four ships, which sail from Black Sea ports with cargoes of coal. Very high terms were given, and in case of capture the government will pay the full value of the vessels. "The order of the day is that Japan will be allowed to occupy Corea. The fleet has received instructions not to engage in any fight at present, but to remain quiet on defensivejmtil the be ginning of July, when half of the whole Baltic fleet will be dispatched to the Far East." Bombardment Prevented. Nagasaki, Feb. 24. The steamer Stolberg has arrived here from Vladi vostock with 20 white foreigners, 1500 Chinese and 50 Japanese. She brings in addition 40 survivors of the Japan ese steamer Nakanoura Maru, which was sunk by the Russian cruiser squadron from Vladivostok on Febru ary 11. Two men were drowned dur ing their transfer to the Russian ships. The survivors were well treated and provided with return pas sages. The Vladivostok squadron in tended to bombard Hakodate, but a snow storm prevented the vessels from entering the Straits of Tsguaru. With Japan's Exhibit. Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 24. With the most valuable cargo ever brought to the Pacific Coast from the Orient, the American steamship Lyra arrived in Tacoma today from the Orient. The Lyra brought the exhibit of the Jap anese government for the Louisiana Exposition at St. Louis, besides a mis cellaneous cargo valued at $1,000,000. It would be impossible to estimate the value of the entire cargo, for in the Mikado's exhibit are articles of such rarity that they are priceless. Philippine Commissioner Confirmed. Washington, Feb. 24. The Senate today confirmed W. Cameron Forbes, of Massachusetts, to be a member of the Philippine Commission and to suc ceed as secretary of the Department of Commerce and Police, Luke E. Wright 'FOUR SHIPS LOST JAPANESE FOOL RUSSIANS BY USE OF SIGNALS. " t Torpedo Boats at Port Arthur Captured and Crews Made Prisoners Alexiff tioes to Harbin Port Arthur Is Now Strictly a Naval Stronghold Only 20 Foreigners Remain. London, Feb. 24. The Nagasaki correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, cabling tinder date of February 22, re ports that the Japanese squadron has captured four Russian torpedo boats at Port Arthur by using Russian signals. This dispatch appears to confirm reports from various quar ters of a fresh attack on Port Arthur by the Japanese. The report reached Nagasaki fromChefoo, and ft adds that the Russian crews of the four torpedo boats have been transferred. No other news of this attack has been" received in London, but the Crefoo correspondent of the Morning Post, in a dispatch dated February 22, says the statement is current that the Japanese torpedo-boat destroyers in the attack on Port Arthur on Febru ary 14 sunk or damaged two Russian battleships, in addition to the torpedo boat already reported. Viceroy Alexieff's retirement to Harbin is now an accomplished fact, and a correspondent of the Associated Press cables that Port Arthur is now strictly a naval stronghold and, the forts are being manned by naval gun ners. Only 20 foreigners are now at Port Arthur, and they are traders dis posing of their merchandise. Some of them are under suspicion, and there is likelihood of their being arrested. There are many complaints of unwarranted arrests, unexplained expulsion and defamation of charac ter by the Port Arthur police. The report that large bodies of Cos sacks and other troops are occupying Niu Chwang and Hsin Ming Tin are unfounded. A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Hong Kong says a British-squadron is concentrating there and that a cor responding French" concentration f warships is occurring at Sagon, Indo China. This is supposedly a result of the Anglo-French understanding. MANY SUSPICIOUS OF RUSSIA Believe She Is Courting Publicity to Influence French Sentiment. Paris, Feb. 24. St. Petersburg, in time of peace one of the most difficult places for journalistic effort, has sud denly become a great center for for eign correspondents. The continental press is at present flooded with long telegrams and letters from the Rus sian capital. The sudden rush of the Russian government into publicity has aroused suspicion in many quarters, where the auestion is being asked: "What is behind the move?" It is inconceiv able that the Russian government, which took great pains to conceal ev-4 ery important happening in time of peace, should now want to make pub lic every happening of importance. A number of leading diplomats' and army and naval officers are inclined to be lieve that in permitting all manner of sensational stories to be spread broadcast, Russia hopes to influence the stock market in France, and thus cause a diversion in favor of Russia. Blood Poisoning and Puerpal Fever. Formalin is the most powerful anti septic agent known to science, and if it is really an antidote for blood poisoning medical practice has made some ad vancement. Still Its use must be ac companied by the greatest caution. It is given subcutaneously by using 1-2000 f formalin in a decl-normal salt solu tion. Of this, aixty centimeters is hypodermically administered, and in an aeur the patient's temperature may be reduced from 104 to 99. The primary effect of introducing formalin into the arterial circulatiou is to convert the blood intself into an antiseptic solu tion. Japanese Order Filled in Record Time. Philadelphia Feb. 24. In conse quence of a rush order from the Jap anese government for locomotives, a local plant has established a new rec ord by the construction of seven loco motives in a day. The engines order ed by Japan are for the military rail road that will connect Fusan, on the southern coast of Corea, with Seoul. An order calling for 20 locomotives, to be completed with 30 days, "was re ceived late in January. Eight of the 20 have already been shipped to Fu san. The remaining 12 will be shipped this week. Threat to China. New York, Feb. 24. The American prints the following copyrighted dis patch from its London correspondent: "A dispatch to the Express from Shanghai says: It is officially stated that M. Paul Lessar, the Russian Min ister to China, has- threatened Lien Fang, the vice-president of the Chin ese foreign office, with the direct con sequences, if China insists on the de parture from Shanghai harbor of the Russian gunboat Mandjuf for which the Japanese cruiser Atsuhima is ly ing in wait. First Ballot for Hanna's Successor. Columbus, O., Feb. 24. Separate ballots will be taken in the House and Senate at noon on March 1 for the election of a successor to the late Senator Hanna and a joint session will be held at noon on March 2 to declare the result. This is provided in a joint resolution introduced and adopt ed in the Senate tonight, and which will be ratified by the House tomorrow. BATTLE ON LAND. Russians Badly Beaten in Engage ment on Yalu River. St. Petersburg, , Feb. 22 Authority which prohibits doubting veracity of the report, in spite of the official dis patches stating that nothing is taking place and . everything is perfectly quiet, says, outpost engagements have taken place on the Yalu resulting in the Russian advance guards being driven' back with considerable losses, which are estimated at 2,500 lives, but whether this means those who fell on the Yalu or the entire Russian losses since the commencement of the war is not exactly clear. Large Force Engaged. Niu Chwang, Feb. 22. A Japanese victory is reported near the Yalu river, but is unconfirmable from any source. According to- the report current here a large part of the forces of both Rus sians and Japanese were engaged. The Russians are said to have lost several thousand men. There are no details of the engagement obtainable. . SEEKING RUSSIAN SHIPS. Japanese Fleet Wants Battle With Cable-Cutting Squadron. New York, Feb. 22. The American's Tokio cable, dated February 21, says: Russian warships are reported between Japan and Corea. Transports carrying troops across are heavily conveyed in consequence.- Half the Japanese fleet is occupied in surveying and protect ing the landing of troops in Corea and the other half is searching for the Russian Vladivostock warships. The prefectural office has received a telegram from the chief magistrate of the Island of Miyake, south of the Gulf of Corea, reporting that 12 Rus sians debarked in a boat from a vessel in the ofilng on February 19. The sub sequent movements of this mysterious party are not reported, but inquiry is under way. The Russians were prob ably seeking to cut the cable, as three warships were reported off Okushiri Island today searching for the cable. AMERICA HAS TROOPS PREPARE Orders Issued That Men Be Ready for Service at Short Notice. San Francisco, Feb. 22. Under or ders issued by the WarDepartment, the commanders of the various mili tary departments of the United States Army are placing in readiness for ser vice at short notice the organizations under. their immediate charge. This work is being done in the quietest possible manner, and the "officers .in charge are very reticent about talking on the subject. Although it is not generally known, the San Francisco Presidio is the most active Army post in the work of pre paration. The troops of the Presidio are doing extra drill daily, and it is stated on the best of authority that within the next two weeks a large consignment of cold-weather clothing will arrive at the post ready for distri bution on 24 hours' notice. The fact that blanket-lined overcoats, fur gloves and heavy Arctic boots are among the supplies to arrive in San Francisco is significant of the intention of the War Department to prepare the troops for a climate more regorous than that of California. Another phase of these preparatory measures is the work of the Coast Artillery that has charge of the har bor defenses. The recently organized school in submarine mining has taken such an interest in its work that a corps of men is daily devoting the hours between sunrise and sunset to the study of the methods of modern harbor defense, while a large force of men is working day and night in the sheds near the Government wharves preparing platforms such as are used for placing the floating mines. WAR CALLS FOR '04 MONEY. Russia Officially Notifies St. Louis She Will Not Participate. St. Louis, Feb. 22. Official confirm ation of Russia's intention to abandon participation in the exposition was re ceived today in a cablegram to Presi dent Francis from Commissioner-Gen,-eral Alexandrovsky at St. Petersburg. The cablegram follows: . "Notwithstanding the best of feeling to America and a readiness for par ticipation in the World's Fair, Russian tradesmen think- their patriotic duty is to give the money appropriated for the exposition to the Red Cross and wounded soldiers. I am going person ally as the chief delegate of the Red Cross to the Far .East. My sincere thanks for your kind atention to our staff and me personally. My best re gards to all directors and chiefs." China Denies-Request for Aid. Tokio, Feb. 22. Advices to the Japr anese government from Pekin say that while at Mukden, Viceroy Alexiff ask ed the Chinese troops to aid in guard ing the railroad, so as to prevent the interruption of traffic. The Chinese refused the request and asked for in structions from "Pekin. The Chinese government told them to inform Alexiff that as Russia had insisted the Chinese were unable to guard the rail way in time of peace, surely Russia could not expect them to guard it in time of war. America Is Criticised. St. Petersburg, Feb. 22. The re fusal of the Commander of the United States gunboat Vicksburg to unite with. the Commanders of other" foreign warships at Chemulpo to protest against the fighting there on Febru ary 8, which Tesulted in the loss of the Russian warships Variag and Koreitz, and the fact that the Vicksburg did not take on board any of the surviv ing Russian seldiers, has created much unfavorable public comment here. Arming Black Sea Coast. Warsaw, Feb. 22. Heavy siege guns are being mounted on the coast 15 versts (ten miles) from Odessa. They will cover the approach to the harbor. Russia's feverish military and naval activity belies the optimistic official assurances to the effect that nothing nntnwnrvi is anticipated and that no other power is expected to become in volved in the present .conmci. HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON BUY THE DITCH. Hoed River Farmers Effectively Settle ' Water-Question. - '' Hood River. There is great " re joicing among the farmers of Hood River, and the thousands of people in the United States who have come to look to this little garden spot of Ore gon for their big red strawberries. need worry no longer about their supply of fruit, for the crop this year win be larger and better than ever, The water question, which has been causing the farmers so much trouble the past three weeks, is practically settled, and the irrigation ditch will hereafter belong solely to the farmers. To pay for the ditch and make nec essary repairs to insure a supply of zouu mcnes or water will require an expenditure of about $60,000, equal to 2,000 shares. Where farmers are not prepared . to pay cash for water privileges, arrangements have been made to secure loans from the state school fund at 6 per cent. It is figured out that maintenance, expenses and interest on the loans will bring the cost of water to the farmers to less than $3.50 an inch. To those able to pay cash for water right, the cost will be a little over $1.50. The cost of water each year is regulated by the cost of repairs and expenses appor tioned pro rata among the land owners. The ditch itself is to remain entirely free from debt, the farmers assuming all obligations.. As soon as a majority of stock is taken, a call will be issued for a stockholders' meeting, orginazation will be effected and a board of direc tors elected. Work will begin imme diately toward getting the ditch in shape to have water for the straw berries by May 1. TERMS OF SALE VIOLATED. Purchasers of Umatilla Timber Land Sell Wood Wholesale. Pendleton. Charles Wilkins, agent at the Umatilla Indian reservation, says that during the past six months there has been wholesale consumption of timber on ceded lands, which prac tice is a violation of the laws. The lands were sold some time ago in 40 acre tracts at $2.25 an acre, but the purchasers were informed that it would be unlawful to convert the tim ber into wood or lumber until two years after the date of sales. It is said that many have paid but little attention to this stipulation, and recently have sold large quantities of wood to Pendleton dealers. One man is said to have delivered 800 cords of wood to a fuel firm of Pendleton since last fall. Mr. Wilkins says the timber lands are out of his jurisdiction, and ac cordingly it is not within his province to prefer charges against the alleged violators. The lands are in the dis trict governed by the Land Office a La "Grande and it will be for the Land Inspector to investigate the irregu larities. A great deal of apprehension is felt. It is believed that many prominent farmers will be included among the violators. NURSERIES DO A BIG TRADE. Milton Firms Supply a Large Ter ritory. Milton. Two large nurseries do business here, and just now the man agement is busy preparing for the shipment of nearly $50,000 worth of trees to all parts of Washington and Oregon for spring . planting. Ship ments will be made during the early part of next month in many cases, other: orders going out later. These trees are grown near this city, and all the care and attention is given by local men. The varieties generally are those that are known to thrive well in this climate and the principal output is apple trees. During the past decade a large amount of money , has been sent out of the country for fruit trees, and a few years ago local capital became in terested and a nursery was establish ed to furnish trees for the orchards which seemed to be certain of estab lishment. The business proved satis factory, and it is , now. difficult to get farmers to send away .for nursery stock of any kind. -Following the suc cess of one nursery, another was es tablished, and now Milton sends out more trees annually than any other place of similar size in the northwest. Grand Ronde Apples Go Fast. La Grande. Within the past three weeks the Blue Mountain Fruit Com pany in La Grande has shipped to the Eastern markets 15 carloads of Grand Ronde apples, which were held over last fall by the growers. J. D. McKen non, one of La Grand's leading grocers, has shipped out two carloads of apples and several carloads of potatoes of late. About 20,000 boxes of saleable apples were raised in the Cove " district alone in the year 1903. and a much larger crop is expected in the year 1904. To Move County Seat Back. La Grande.Petitions have been put in circulation in almost all locali ties in Union County asking the coun ty Court to submit the question of re locating the county seat from Union to La Grande to the vote of the people at the general election in June. This petition is formulated under the gen eral law of . 1903, which provides for submission of the question upon peti tion of three-fifths of the total of all the votes cast. ., 'To Reduce Rate of Interest. Astoria. The Astoria school dis trict has bonds amounting to $12,000, which ran be redeemed on March 1, and the directors have made arrange ments to refund them by borrowing money from the state. This will re tlio'rato of Interest from 6 to 5 per cent and effect quite a saving to the district ASSESSORS' -TERMS OF PFFICE Do Those Now In Hold for Two Year Longer! Salem.

FINE COWS FOR DAIRYING. Jackson County Farmer Buys Hoi- steins Big Farm to Be Made. Jacksonville. Bropby Bros., the Owners Of a fine rlnirv- rnnv i valley, have received from Scappoose, uiumDia uounty, a carload of flne Holstein cows to add to their already choice herd of milch cows.

Fine stock is to be kept upon the land, and Mr. Bowers plans to have one of the best selected neras in Kosue River vallev. Isaac Householder has snlrt his in. terest in the Kain's Creek limekilns near Jacksonville, and will at once put in a wood camp on Poorman's; Creek and a woodyard in Jackson ville. Double its Capacity. La Grande. The La Grande Cres cent Knitting Mills, the only factory of its kind in the Northwest outside -of Portland, is arranging to double its capacity and has ordered a dozen new machines. The factory makes stockings, shawls and underwear. Suits of underwear are placed on the -market all the way from $2 to $25 per -suit, and are manufactured of cotton, wool and silk. It is now impossible for the factory to fill all the orders -coming in. This factory has been in. operation in La Grande only a little -over six months. Busy Times at Prairie City. Prairie City. As spring approaches development of this district begins to assume shape. It. is now conceded : that the Sumpter Valley and Bonta railroads will race for the occupancy of this field. The Bonta road has se cured a part of the right of way and the surveying corps is busy locating -the remainder. The enterprise has - been financed, and it is given out that it 'will be a steam road instead of an electric. This brings it in touch. with the O. R. & N. and simplifies the- transfer from one road to the other.. PORTLAND MARKETS. Wheat Milline Quotations: Walla Walla, 7778c; bluestem, S283c; Valley, 82c. : " " " Barley Feed.
