RAIN CAUSES KANSAS FLOOD.
Rescaes From Homes Surrounded by
Rising Waters.
Fort Scott, Kan'., April 27. -Fort
Scott is experiencing the most' serious
flood in its history. Marmatpng river
and Mill creek, which runs into the
foimer stream here, have risen ten feet
in the past 24 houis, the result of
heavy rains. Several hundreds of per
sons have been rescued in boats. As
far as known tonight no lives have been
lost. The estimated loss in livestock
drowned and property damaged is
$100,000.
The two streams began to rise at 10
o'clock last night and today the city
was divided into three sections and al
most completely isolated. Normally
Mill creek runs into the Marmatong
liver, northeast of the city, but because
of the rapid rise they formed a new
channel which cut across one end of
the city. Tonight the entire northern
part of the city is cut off, and part of
the city is inundated.
Ten feet of water is rushing through
the streets in that part of the city and
several hundred persons in what is
known as Belltown have been forced to
leave their homes. Many weie taken
away in boats -
There weie several .. narrow escapes
from drowning. Late today an aged
couple named Lemore, living north of
the city near the river, were rescued in
boats. They were completely hemmed
in. Bescuers were out all day under
the direction of Fire Chief Ausman,
Mayor Congdon and Chief of Police
Mendenhall, and they succeeded in sav
ing thousands of dollars' worth of prop
erty as well as the hundreds of inhabi
tants of that district.
Many who refused to leave Belltown
will still have to be taken away in
boats, as all avenues of escape have
now been cut off.
The gas works is three feet under
water and has closed down. The en-
gine and pumps at the water station
are 20 feet under water. The South
western Wholesale Grocery company's
warehouse is flooded and the water has
reached the office. The wholesale dis
trict is completely surrounded and mer
chants are removing their stocks of
goods. All the railroads are tied up
bridges being threatened and tracks
covered.
Washouts are reported in all direc
tions. In the low farming land the
water is from five to ten feet deep and
much stock has been drowned and
heaw damage to property caused. It
is estimated that 300 persons are home
less.
SOLDIBR KILLED IN WRECK.
West Bound Santa Fe Train Collides
With a Light Engine.
Los Angeles. Cal.. April 27. A west
bound special train carrying several
carloads of soldiers bound for the pre
sidio, San Francisco, was wrecked at
Hartoum Station, the first station west
of Needles. Cal, on the Santa Fe rail
road. One soldier, James M. Boweis,
was killed and about a dozen injured.
According to the meagre information
obtainable in this city tonight the
wieck occurred sometime during the
afternoon Sunday and was caused by
the colliding of a light engine east
bound with the troop train. The en
gine had helped a train over a heavy
grade lust west of Needles, and was re
turning to that point, presumably with
out the knowledge of the special troop
train.
Carnival at Portland.
The Federated Trades Council, repre
senting 75 labor unions, and the Lewis
and Clark Farternal Building associa
tion, comprising 34 fraternal societies,
have arranged to hold a mardi gras and
carnival in Portland June 28 to July
12 inclusive. It is intended to make
this affair the largest and most com
plete ever attempted on the Pacific
coast. A spectacle employing 300
people will be one of the chief attrac
tions of the amusement features, as well
as a circus, baloon ascensions, etc.
The management has promised that the
entire two weeks will be full of special
ties and one cannot go once and see it
all. There w ill be a monster Fourth
of July parade, also an illuminated pa
rade on the night of July 2. Reduced
i ate 8 have been secured on all transpor
tation lines running into Portland.
Irrigation Investigation at Yakima.
Washington, April 27. District
Engineer T. A. Noble, of the reclama
tion service, at Spokane, Wash, has
been instrcuted to proceed to make the
necessary investigations at the earliest
possible date concerning the develoii-
ment of the Yakima valley, to ascertain
whether the opportunities for irrigation
works there are of such a character as
to warrant the beginning of a large
government work in this city. The in
vestigation will be for the purpose
largely of securing a better knowledge
of the physical conditions of this region.
Cleaning Up to Adjourn.
Washington, April 27. The time of
the senate will be devoted wholly to
clearing the calendar preparatory to ad
journment, which most senators still
say will occur during the present week.
There remains only one appiopriation
bill to be passed by the senate, that for
the military academy. A number of
the supply bills are still in the confer
ence, however, and it is expected there
will be more or less discussion of con
ference reports.
Improvements at Puget Sound Yards.
Washington, April 27. Bids have
been opened at the navy department for
a steel storage buliding at the Puget
sound navy yard, the lowest bidder be
ing the St. Paul Foundry company,
$30,736, and for a boatshop at the
Puget sound yard, the lowest bidder
being T. Ryan, Seattle, $165,000.
VALUE QUESTIONED
SENATE DOUBTS ADVISABILITY OF
OF BUILDING BIG WARSHIPS.
Recent Russian Losses are Cited Some
Favor Submarines Conference Re
port Giving the President Power to
Delay Construction of Battleship if
Deemed Advisable Agreed To.
Washington, April 27. The senate
today .passed a bill to provide for an as
sociate justice of the supreme court of
New Mexico.
Hale called up the conference report
on the naval appropriation bill elimi
nating the differences between the two
houses. In making a statement on the
report Hale criticised the modern bat
tleship. Continuing he said :
"1 mas, say that if I were secretary
of the navy in the present condition, I
should not dare to go on and commit
the government to the building of an
other immense battleship costing $8,
000,000. The lessons of war between
Russia and Japan thus far go to show
the vulnerability and the uneafety of
these immense and lofty battleships and
the undesirability at present of com
mitting ourselves to the further con
struction of them. .The great and sal
ient evils of war show how incomplete
as an engine of w ar is one of these
enormous high turreted battleships.
If she is struck below the water line
and the center of gravaity is disturbed
she turns over like a turtle and every
body on board is drowned.
"If an explosion takes place through
hurried, firing in a turret, it is more
than likely to ignite the magazine and
the whole ship is blown into the air
and everybody on board is killed.
Aside from the disasters in the East,
where the large Rusisaan battleships
have been disabled and put out of busi
ness, we have had three explosions on
our own battleships within a year."
Stewart expressed the opinion that
the battleship will soon be a thing of
the past and that submarine craft will
take their place.
Continuing. Hale said he thought
congress should legislate on the char
acter of battleships for the navy, and
not leave it to the department.
Allison said the discretion given to
the president to defer action for a year
was a wise one, because of the fact that
a test of battleships was going on in a
pretty lively way in the Far East.
The conference report was agreed to.
Q AM B" OF- STRATEQY.
Kouropatkin Has Large . Force Thrown
Across Upper Yalu.
St. Petersburg, April 27. General
Kouropatkin has played a strong card
in the game of strategy. A large por
tion of General Rennenkampff's Cos
sack cavalry division has been thrown
across the upper reaches of the Yalu,
and a considerable force of cavalry,
which crossed the Tumen some time
ago, is moving down to the southwest
to effect a juncture with it. Together
with this force, which, it is believed,
totals 20,000 men, he will threaten
Lieutenant General Inouye's left flank
when the Japanese are ready to cross
lower down on the Yalu.
Being composed of cavalry with a
few mountain guns, Rennenkampff's
force is extremely mobile. Unless it
should be dislodged, it will compel the
Japanese to leave a strong army to
guard the communications, whereas, if
a Japanese force should be sent to drive
it out, it would have to move directly
away from the main army while the
Russian army, if compelled to fall back,
can recross in the direction of the Rus
sian troops, concentrating in Manchuria.
KUROPATK1N TO BB CHIEF.
He Is Destined to Command Forces
Sea as Well as on Land.
St. Petersburg, April 27. General
Kouropatkin, it is believed in the
highest military circles here, is 'des
tined to become commander of all the
emperor's forces, both military and
naval in the Far East.
Admiral Alexieff may remain there
for some little time as viceroy, but his
reign is consideied practically ended
He will not be humiliated, but in order
to effect harmonious relations a way
will be found to secure his elimination.
While Alexieff and Kouropatkin are on
lairly good terms, harmonious relations
between Vice Adimral Skrydloff and
the viceroy are considered impossible
and with the three enjoying indepen
dent commands it is. realized that fric
tion ultimately will be bound to arise
which might endanger successful opera
tions. EsKrydion and Kouropatkin. on
the contrary, are warm personal friends,
One Veto by Qove.-nor of Hawaii,
Honolulu, April 27. There was only
one veto by Governor Carter in, the
special legislative session He disap
proved a joint resolution calling for a
commission to frame a county govern'
ment act, because the matter of com
pensation was left to be determined
later. Another resolution providing
for a commission of five members and
fixing compensation was approved, and
the commission will be appointed at
once to irame a county bill.
Treaty With America to Hand.
bt. Petersburg, April 27. The draft
of the treaty whereby American firms
can sue in Russia and Russian firms in
America, over which Ambassador Mc
Cormick has been negotiating, has been
received from Washington and . laid
before the foreign officers. Since it is
no longer possible to secure its ratifica
tion during this session of congress.
: Mr. McCormick probably will allow
i the treaty to take its normal course.
SHADOWED BY JAPANESE.
Spies la
France ai
: Plans of
Trying
Russians.
to Lean
St. Petersburg, April 26. The Ruski
Slavo prints a letter from an official in
the French secret service which reports
the presence of numerous Japanese
spies in France, well -provided with
money. They shadow Russians and
watch the shipyards. Especially do
they endeavor to ascertain the exact
date of the departure of the Baltic fleet
and the points en route at which it will
coal.
The Novosti states that the Russians
should feel gratified at the strategical
achievement of the naval squadron,
which imposed caution upon the Jap
anese operations and gave Russia time
to throw a prepondering military force
into Manchuria. The most favorable
time, the Novosti continues, for Japan
ese military operations has passed.
A letter written by Colonel Apageff ,
an officer of marines on the Petrppavlo
vsk, who was drowned, describes the
routine upon the battleship. We rise,
he wrote, at 6 o'clock, learn the news
of the night and drink tea. At 8
o'clock we attend colors and then read
the papers in hope of obtaining infor
mation of the intentions of the enemy
Afterwards we go to a meeting at head
quarters and discuss questions of de
fense. Lunch comes at 1 o'clock. Af
terwards we visit the city or transact
our own affairs. Dinner at 6 o'clock,
when rumors of all kinds circulate.
If reports of the appearance of the
enemy are persistent, the letter states,
the torpedo boats are sent out, and
upon these craft falls the hardest ser
vice of the war. When Grand Duke
Cyril arrived at Port Arthur, he was
given command of a torpedo boat.
The ships in the harbor, it is stated,
were connected with the others and
with the shore by telephone.
NOT TO WATER IT.
Nation Finds Crook County Field
by Private Concerns.
Washington, April 26. The
tary of the interior has received
Taken
secre-
a pe-Farm-
tition from 300 members of the
ers' co-operative irrigation association
of Oregon asking that a thorough inves
tigation be made by the reclamation
service to determine the irrigation pos
sibilities of Crook county. The pe
tition has the indorsement of Senator
Mitchell.
It happens that representatives of
the reclamation service have made ex
tensive investigations, in Crook county.
and reached the conclusion that there
is no present opportunity for the gov
ernment to enter this field. . There are
several attractive irrigation projects
along the Deschutes river, . but all of
these are now covered by segregations
made by the state of Oregon under the
Carey act, and the government does not
desire to interfere with the plans of
private companies.
The only other water available for
irrigation in Crook county is the
Crooked river, .and the summer flow
of this stream is now fully utilized
As it would be very expensive to divert
water" of the Deschutes across the
Crook river valley onto the distant
arable lands, the government has de
cided it can do nothing in Crook county
unless private enterprises under - the
Carey act are abandoned.
SPECIAL STAMP FOR '05 FAIR.
Postal Department Is Expected to Au
thorize the Issue Soon.
Washington, April 2b. At the sug
gestion of Senator Mitchell, the post-
office department has taken up the mat
ter of preparing a special issue of post
age stamps tc commemorate the Lewis
and Clark centennial. The department
can issue such stamps without special
authority of congress, and in view of
the department's attitude on the tc
casion of other expositions, it is expect
ed that the postmaster general will
soon authorize a special Lewis and
Clark issue.
Senator Mitchell has also requested
the department to supply the Portland
postoffice with a special cancelling
stamp bearing some such words as
"Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposi
tion, 1905, Portland, Oregon," or
"World's Fair, Portland, Oregon,
1905."
This suggestiayi has been taken under
advisement. Senator Mitchell believes
the stamp issue and the special cancel
lation stamps will be an excellent
means of advertising the exposition.
Will Qef Boats Ordered by Oermany.
New York, April Zo. some sensa
tion Jias been caused in Berlin, says a
Herald dispatch, by a rumor to the
effect that Germany has ceded to Rus
sia certain torpedo boats building in
private yards, which are on the point
of completion. Eight of these, which
are being built by the Schichau yards,
are the largest torpedo boats as yet
constructed in Germany, being 550
tons, with an average speed of 28. In
order to prevent a breach of neutrality
it would be necessary that the German
government annul its contract.
Exhibit for the 1905 Fair.
Denver, Colo., April 26. That the
Colorado exhibit will be transferred
from the Louisiana Purchase exposition
to the Lewis and Clark exposition at
Portland is practically assured. Gov
ernor Peabody today promised C. H.
Mclsaac that he would exert every
means in his power to accomplish this,
and said he believed the centennial
state was also to furniBh sufficient funds
in its next budget to provide for the
erection of a building.
Japanese Land Near Port Arthur. .
St. Petersburg, April 26. A report
is current here that the Japanese have
landed 20,000 troops at Kin Chau,
above Port Arthur. This report, how
ever, cannot be confirmed tonight. v i
HAPPENINGS "HERE IN OREGON
SCHOOL MONEY LENT.
Four Million Dollars Are Now Drawing
Interest at 6 Per Cent.
Salem The state of Oregon now has
$4,000,000 of school funds drawing in
terest at an average of 6 per cent. This
is the largest sum the state ever bad
drawing interest and it represents the
limit of the irreducible school fund, for
a number of years hence, at least. The
revenue from this fund will be about
$240,000 per year, and from this the
expenses of running the state land de
partmnet must be paid, amounting to
less than $10,000 per year, leaving
about $230,000 to be distributed an
nually among the counties of the state
upon the basis of school population
The apportionment this year will be
reduced somewhat by reason of repay
ments of interest received from pur
chasers of land where the title failed.
Of this total of $4,000,000, about
$3,500,000 is in the form of loans and
$500,000 is in the form -of deferred
payments .on sales of school land. Of
the loans, $3,250,000 is out on real es
tate mortgage securities paying 6 per
cent interest. The other $250,000 is
invested in school district bonds bear
ing 5 per cent interest. The $500,000
due on sales of land is drawing interest
at 6 and 7 per cent. An average rate
of interest on the whole $4,000,000,
is
6 per cent. '
Less than a year ago the state treas
nry contained $725,000 of idle money
in the school fund. There was then
little prospect that this- money would
soon be put out at interest, but several
circumstances have combined to create
a demand for the school funds.
It will be the policy of the board to
favor small borrowers, as the money
will benefit more people in thia way
In all the loans that have been made
the board has been careful to accept
only gilt edge security, and it is believ
ed there is not a loan outstanding that
would show a loss even if hard times
should bring about a decline in real
estate values.

SALMON QRBW VERY SLOWLY.
Experiment With Small Fry in the Big
Astoria Reservoir.
Astoria During September, 1902,
fisn warden van JJusen secured a
number of small salmon that had been
kept in fresh water for several months
and placed them in the Astoria reser
voir. Kecently the reservoir was
emptied for the purpose of cleaning it
and the fish were taken out by Deputy
Webster. The largest of the fish was
only abcut 15 inches in length, show
ing conclusively that the salmon need
salt water to develop them.
The effect of this experiment will be
to overthrow the theory that the salmon
fry should be kept in fresh watei as
long as possible before being turned out
and permitted to make their way to sea.
Planting of Sugar Beets.
La Giande F. S. Bramwell,
field
sugar
beet
supei intendent of the La Grande
factory, staets that the present
pects for a large acreage of sugar
are very flattering. The total
acreage last year was 1,800 acres, and
this year 2,800 acres are assured. The
company itself is seeding 1,800 acres
this year. Experiments are also being
made in several sections of Umatilla
county in the matter of growing sugar
beets. Seeding is in progress in every
section of the county, although foot
hill ranchers are a little behind.
School Loans Approved.
Salem The state land board has ap
proved applications for loans from the
school fund to the amount of $100,000..
These are the applications that were
pending when it was announced recent
ly that the idle surplus will soon be
placed out at interest. Even when the
suiplus has been lent, there will be funds
available from time to time as those who
have borrowed in the past make repay
ment or purchasers of school land pay
their annual installments.
. Canners to Use Oil for Fuel.
Astoria Several of the canners and
cold storage men have decided to use
crude oil in place of wood for fuel in
their plants. Contracts have been
made foi oil at '90 cents a barrel, with
the guarantee that 2 barrels of oil
will equal a cord of the best fir wood.
As the latter now sells at $4.25 per
cord, the change will effect quite a sav-1
ing in the fuel bills.
OREQON CREAM STANDS TEST.
Condensed Product Adapted to Oriental
and Alaskan Use.
Hillsboro The directors of the Ore
gon Condensed Milk company, of J, this
city, and who manufacture the Oregon
Grape brand of evaporated cream, have-
received word from the Kelly-Clark.
company, exporters of evaporated
ci earns to Alaska and the Orient, that
the recent test by the Holman refriger
ator company, subjecting this cream to
extreme heat and cold, has been veiy '
successful.
The cream, in cans, was subjected to.
a heat ranging from 118 to 160 degrees,,
and several cans m ere frozen in a solid
block of ice for 10 days. After the
tests were made the cans were opened
and there was no separation whatever,
proving that the Oregon . Grape cream
is excellent for Alaska and Oriental
shipment.
This is naturally of great interest to.
shippers, as both these fields draw
heavily from Oregon for export cream .
The Hillsboro factory is the largest
west of the Mississippi river, and wast
the first established in Oregon, and
this recent test establishes the manu
facture of evaporated cream as a. suc
cessful and permanent enterprise.
Warehouses are Nearly Empty.
Pendleton About a quarter of a mil
lion bushels of last year's wheat crop,
in this county remains unsold, and
nearly all the sold portion has been,
moved, leaving the Umatilla ware
houses comparatively empty. The
wheat still held is principally in small
lots, 10,000 to 15,000 bushels being;
about the largest. Most of it is residue
of crops already partly sold. The?
market is quite inactive, quotations
being made only on request. From 65
to 66 cents has been the ruling price on
club for several days.
Fair Has the Funds.
Portland An official document at
testing that the Lewis and Clark expo
sition has $600,000 available funds has;
been dispatched to Washington. The
document, bearing the signature of
President H. W. Scott and Secretary
Henry Reed, is required by a provi
sion of the appropriation bill, and must
be presented to the treasury department
before the $450,000 covered by the gov
ernment's appropriation may be
touched.
Division of Wade Property.
Pendleton A report of the sale of
C. B. Wade's portion of the Wade
blooded herd has been filed with Ref
eree in Bankruptcy Fitzgerald. The
proceeds of Wade's interest amount to.
$3,912.53. This brings the total
amount derived from the sale of per
sonal property up to $18,581.28, which;
is over $3,000 above the appraised val
ue. The first dividends will be declared
in behalf of creditors this week.
Beginning to Make Proof.
Alba Members of the co-operative-coiony,
which holds 15 or 20 home
steads and which was originally com
posed ef Umatilla county teachers, are
beginning to make commutation proof.'
The colonists have their united hold
ings leased to cattlemen. Most of
them will reside on their filings thia
summer.
