INCREASE ARMY BEFORE ATTACK.
Russia, In Meantime, Expects Makaroff
: to Fight Hard on Sea.
Yinkow, March 16. The local Rus
sian authorities are apparently in
censed and manifestly much annoyed
at the solicitous inquiries of the com
manders of foreign gunboats regarding
the projected blocking of the Liao river
before the arrival of , the Japanese,
which latter event is regarded as a fore
gone conclusion. Although the block
ing of the Liao and also the defense of
the settlement and native town are re
garded as unattainable, it is certain
that an uunimportant disposition of
guns and the arrangement of a - defense
plan have already been made. The ar
rival of General Kendravovitch, a few
days ago, however, arrested the ar
rangements and threatened to cause
the abandonment of the original inten
tion.
The highest Russian opinion obtain
able at Port Arthur and Niu Chwang
admits the government's intention to
fall back indefinitely, until the mobil
ization of 300,000 torops 16r the as
saulting and opposition of the Japan
ese, and probably 200,000 more to op
pose the Chinese.
The same opinion asserts that Vice
Admiral Makaroff will fight hard. He
is determined to weaken the enemy at
any cost, and make the operation of
the Baltic sea fleet in the Far East
feasible, though it may be necessary to
fight without the Pallada, Czarevitch
and Retvizan, which it is admitted
cannot be fully repaired within six
months. On account of the uncertain
ty of the success of the scheme of con
strncting a dock in which to repair the
Czarevitch and Retvizan, naval experts
allow a year for the work.
"COREA SHALL BB RUSSIAN."
Kouropatkln Says the Powers Have
Agreed to Keep Britain's Hands Off.
Paris, March 16 The St. Peters
burg correspondent of the Echo de
Paris says that the czar's refusal, fol
lowing General Kouropatkin's advice,
to permit Prince Louis Napoleon to go
to the Far East, is much commented
an.
.The correspondent says that six new
torpedo boats have been sent out of the
Newsky yards, and that ten others,
modeled after the French torpedo boat
Cyclone, are being completed, and
probably will be sent by railway, to
Port Arthur.
In the oourse of his conversations in
the train, while traveling from Mos
cow, according to this correspondent,
General Kouropatkin repeated his de
sire that peace should be signed only
in Tokio. The general said that
France, Germany and Austria have
agreed with Russia to prevent Great
Britain intervening with another Berlin
treaty, adding:
"We will never permit Great Brit
ain to interfere for the purpose of de
priving us of the fruits of a dearly
bought victory. Corea shall be Rus
sian." BELIEVES FLEBT IS INSIDB.
British Press Now Unable to Put Vladi
vostok Fleet Elsewhere.
London, March 16. It is a subject
of increasing remark and conjecture in
the press that nothing has been heard
of the Vladivostok squadron, and it is
beginning to be believed it is really in
side the harbor of Vladivostok.
The correpsondent of the Morning
Post at Tokio throws a light upon Jap
an's financial intentions, and says it is
estimated that Japan will be able to
maintain a war for 18 months without
borrowing abroad. The policy is to re
tain . the gold in Japan, and it is be
lieved it will not be necessary, to spend
abroad more than one-eighth of the
cost of the war, this expenditure being
chiefly on coal, cordite and steel.
It may be remarked that the British
newspapers all regard Vice Admiral To
go's report that he has laid mines at
Port Arthur as a mere bluff, and they
say such a feat would be impossible un
der fire.
Chinese Rushing to Border.
Paris, March 16. The Temps corres
pondent at Niu Chwang telegraphs:
I have just returned here from a tour
along the Manchurian frontier. The
trains are crowded with Chinese sol
diers, numbering upwards of 21,000,
on their way to garrison the border.
A Japanese attack is expected . here as
soon as a thaw occurs." The corres
pondent of the Temps at St. Petersburg
says: "The Japanese have thus far
captured seven Russian merchant
ships, whose commanders did not know
wafhad begun."
To Improve Three Oregon Harbors.
Washington, March 16. Senator
Fulton today offered three amendments
to the sundry civil bill, making appro
priations as follows : To continue the
improvement of the entrance to Tilla
mook bay, $500,000; to further im
prove the channel over the bar at Ya-
quinabay, $250,000; to improve the
mouth of the Sinslaw river, $100,000.
These amendments are intended to pro
vide funds for carriyng on work during
the fiscal year.
For Assembly Hall at Cbemawa.
Washington, March 16. Senator
Mitchell today introduced an amend
ment to the Indian appropriation bill
carrying $18,000 to erect a brick assem
bly hall at the Chemawa Indian school.
BIG EXHIBIT SURE
EASTERN STATES PLEDGE 1905 FAIR
GOOD SUPPORT.
Massachusetts and New York Will Be In
the Front Row Former . Sets ' Aside
$25,000 Empire State Is Expected
to Make Fully as Liberal an Appro-
priation as Massachusetts.
Washington, March 16. Massachu
setts and New. York are to be among
the foremost exhibitors at the Lewis
and Clark exposition next year. This
assurance has been given Special Com
missioner Mclsaac, of Portland, who
appeared before the legislatures of
these two states and appealed to them
for liberal appropriations for transport
ing their St. Louis exhibits to Port
land next year. More than all other
Eastern states, these two have a direct
interest in the Pacific coast and Orient
al markets, and the members of both
legislatures readily realized the import
ance of having complete exhibits at
Portland. By a special message of the
governor the Massachusetts legislature
has been called on to appropriate $25,-
000 for making a Bay State exhibit at
Portland, and after conference with the
leaders at Albany, Mr. Mclsaac expects
equally as large an appropriation for
the New York exhibit.
Mr. Mclsaac has been assured that
Rhode-Island and New Jersey will be
duly represented at Portland. An ap
propriation sufficient to transfer their
St. Louis exhibits will be made.
Tomorrow Mr. Mclsaacs will appear
before the Maryland legislature and
will then start west. He will be at
Columbus, Ohio, for a week. From
that city he will-go to Kentucky, Iowa
and Mississippi. The Virginia legis
lature, which has just adjourned,
adopted resolutions indorsing the expo
sition in strong terms.
SINKS OWN SHIPS.
Admiral Makaroff Blocks the Channel
at Port Arthur. .
Niu Chwang, March 16. After the
removal of the battleship Retvizan,
four Russian steamers, the Harbin, the
Hailar, the Ningunta and the Sungari,
were anchored at the mouth of the en
trance of Port Arthur in proper posi
tions and sunk, leaving only a small
channel available, Vice Admiral Maka
roff having previously ordered the
whole fleet to remain outside with
steam up, economy in coal being un
necessary.
This dispatch is on "Russian infor
mation," and is of the first importance,
confirming the idea that Vice Admiral
Makaroff will adopt the offensive and
make a desperate effort to bring togeth
er Russia's scattered naval forces, or
endeavor to inflict damage upon the
Japanese navy.
The sinking of the ships was to pre
vent the ingress of Japanese torpedo
boat destroyers, as was done at Wei
Hai Wei during the Chino-Japanese
war.
RURAL MAIL IN FAVOR.
Both Parties In the House
Declare
Friendship For It.
Washington, March 16. Leigslation
for the District of Columbia ( and the
postoffice appropriation bill occupied
the attention of the house today. The
rural free delivery service received
most attention. Speakers of both. par
ties took the credit for its inauguration
and declared their friendship for it.
The bill was considered in committee
of the whole. Monn (Dem. Tenn.),
the ranking minority member , of the
postoffice committee, reviewed the
action of the committee in bringing the
report before the house, and said the
committee was not authorized to sit in
judgment and could not have made any
change in the report as submitted to
the committee.
At 5 :05 the house adjourned until
tomorrow.
Attempted to Rescue.
Tokio, March 16. A supplementary
report has been received from Admiral
Togo, concerning the effort made by the
crews of the Japanese torpedo boat de
strovers in action off Port Arthur on
the 10th inst., to rescue the crews of
the disabled Russian torpedo boat-de
stroyers. Captain Shojiro Asia, com
manding the flotilla of torpedo boat de
stroyers, states that the Japanese would
have been able to rescue many more of
the enemy but for the deadly fire of the
shore batteries and the close approach
of the Russian cruiser Novik.
Chamberlain as Leader.
London, March 16. In the lobby of
the house of commons tonight there
was much comment on the unexpected
ly early departure from Egypt on his
return to London of Joseph Chamber
lain. The Chamberlain section of par
liament, glorying in their triumph of
March 9, already predicts that if the
Unionists are defeated in the general
election, Chamberlain, and not Balfour,
will be the leader of the opposition in
the next parliament.
Qreat Profits for Steamer Line.
Hamburg, March 16. The annual
report of the Hamburg-American steam
ship company, published today, shows
a net profit of $5,500,000 for the year.
The tonnage of the ships owned by the
company is 1,727,948, the largest in
the world, and exceeding the entire
tonnage of most countries, and the
average age of the vessels is only six
years and seven months. The report
declares the company receives no sub
sidies from the state. - ' ' -
tCANNONjFOR FAIR.
Speaker Of Honse Pledges Hearty Sup-
. .- j. port to 1905 Fair. s
Washington, March 15. Speaker
cannon is nearuly in favor of the pas
sagejof the Leis and Clark -exposition
Dill, and will do everything in his
power to assist the measure through
the house. He so stated yesterday
to j Senator Mitchell, Senator Fulton
and Representative Williamson, who
called on mm to discuBS the prospects
of the measure, and to ask that ample
time be allowed .for its consideration
on the floor of the house. The speak
er assured the. Oregon men that as
soon as the bill is reported by the com
mittee on expositions he will take it
up with the house leaders, and he is
confident full opportunity will be given
tor its consideration.
Following this conference, the sena
tors and Representative Williamson
called on Chairman Tawney, repre
senting the Republican membership of
trie committee on expositions, and lat
er on Representative Bartlett, of
Georgia, the ranking Democratic mem
ber, and from each of these gentlemen
received assurances which encourage
them in the belief that the amount the
committee will recommend for the ex
position will be considerably more than
has been talked of since the bill has
been before the house committee.
To members of the delegation the
outlook for the passage of a bill carry
ing a liberal appropriation is now very
encouraging.-- In view of Speaker Can
non's attitude and the friendliness of
the house committee, it isvbelie'ved
there will be no particular difficulty in
securing the final passage of the bill.
AID OF CHINA IS NOT WANTED.
Kaneko Says If She Enters War, It
flust Be as Independent Nation.
" San Francisco, March 15.-Baron M
Kaneko, an ex-Japanese minister of ag
riculture and commerce, and member
of the Japanese parliament, who has
arrived here en route to Washington,
and the St. Louis exposition, said to
day:
J. ao not understand wnat you
Americans and Europeans mean when
you speak of the yellow peril. If you
believe that the Japanese intend to
unite with the other members of the
yullow race and overrun Europe and
America, you are very much mistaken.
1 think it would be wiser to beware of
the Muscovite peril. It is much more
dangerous.
"As regards the neutrality of China,
we expect to take the same position as
outlined by Secretary Hay. The in
tegrity of China must be preserved at
all costs. We do not want her for our
ally, and if she enters the war, it must
be as an independent nation.
Japan is prepared to fight this war
to a finish without foreign interrup
tion. bhe is righting to preserve the
peace of Asia and not for any ambit
ious purposes.
We are in this war to win and we
are prepared to remain in it as long as
Russia does. Our finances are in the
best of condition and we can always
issue a special war tax if it should be
come necessary."

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
INDUSTRIES AT. NORTH BEND.
Box Factory Under Construction Mills
Rushed With Orders.
North Bend Construction work will
begin at once on a box factory here to
manufacture 15,000,000 feet of spruce
timber per year into boxes. The plant
is being installed by San Francisco cap
italists. It will cost $5,500 and em
ploy 75 men. The product will be
shipped to California and Eastern
markets in the form of shooks.
George L. Bickel, of Portland, and
E. J.Seeley, of Albany, have begun
work on a condensed milk plant, the
building to be 70x90 feet, and will in
stall their own can making machinery.
Forty people will be employed. The
owners expect to double the capacity
of the factory whenever the milk sup
ply will warrant the step. At present
they have 85,000 pounds per day en
gaged, with a vast extent of fertile
dairy lands yet to be heard from. The
sites for both -these industries have
been donated by L. J. Simpson, and in
each instance the enterprising citizens
of the town have subscribed a handsome
cash subsidy.
Mill No. 1 of the Simpson lumber
company now has on hand for imme
diate delivery orders for 60 business
and residence buildings, all of the bet
ter class, many of them t cost several
thousand dollars each. Plana are now
being prepared for a modern hotel
building three stories in height and to
contain 80 rooms. . Construction will
begin on this at an early date. The
large lumber mills of the Simpson lum
ber company are running full blast and
although their capacity has been large
ly increased, they are still unable to
fill orders as fast as received.
The North Bend woolen mills and
the sash and door factory are also in
full operation and the pay roll com
bined is over $25,000 per month. A
foundry and machine shop is now be
ing erected and will be an up-to-date
plant in every respect. Machinery is
ordered and now on the way, and the
company expects to be ready for busi
ness within 60 days.
HAINES CREAMERY COMPLBTED.
Plant Is Up-tcDate in Every Particular
A Credit to the lown.
La Grande The new creamery at
Haines is now practically completed
and in running order, and is without
doubt one of the best eqiupped institu
tions of its kind in Eastern Oregon.
The main building is 24x40 feet, and
built in a subetanial manner. A good
sized engine room adjoins the building
on the north side and a refrigerator
8x14 feet is being constructed in one
corner for storing butter in warm
weather.
The capacity of this plant will be
1,000 pounds of high grade butter per
day, but is not running at its full ca
pacity at present. The operation of
the plant is under the management of
E. D. Severance, and W. J. Harlow
has charge of the butter making. The
machinery is all up-to-date and they
have a 0-horsepower boiler, a Victor
combined churn and worker with a ca
pacity of 600 pounds of butter at one
churning.
Echo Beets Mature Early.
Echo The preparation of ground for
the planting of beets by the Amalga
mated sugar company is well under
way here and planting will all be over
here before work is begun in the Grand
Ronde valley. The company is anxi
ous to get in a large crop here, for they
say that beets will mature here from
two to three weeks earlier than at La
Grande, and this will enable them to
run the sugar factory there just that
much longer each year. They offer
the same price here for beets as they
pay at the factory.
Co-Operative Creamery That Pays.
Oregon City The year 1903 was a
prosperous one for the Clear Creek
creamery company, a co-operative but
ter making institution that is located
on the Clackamas river a few miles
from this city. In the 12 months this
plant manufactured 41,261 pounds of
butter. This product netted the pat
rons an average for the year of 29 cents
per pound for his butter at the cream
ery or 26 cents when his cream was
called for. The cost of making the but
ter was 2 H cents per pound.- The
business is increasing.
Move for Electric Road.
Forest Grove At a jneeting of the
citizens of this place here a proposition
was presented by Messrs. Heidel, Sew
ell and Shute, of Hillsboro, to subsidize
the West Side electric road from Port
land to Forest Grove to the extent of
$100,000, $25,000 to be raised at Hills
boro and $25,000 here and in this vi
cinity, and the balance in Portland.
A committee was appointed to look
after Forest Grove's interests, and ap
point solicitors.
