The time of the senate today was
divided between the Swayne impeach
ment trial and the motion of Beveridge'
to appoint conferees on the joint state
hood bill. It is the expectation that a
vote on the Swayne . matter will be
reached Monday. No agreement was
reached in the appointment of state
hood conferees.
A resolution was introduced in the
house directing the attorney general to
proceed against the armor plate trust.
A number of pension bills from the

Tokio, Feb. 28. .following the cus
tom of the Japanese government, the
officials at the war office refuse to dis
cuss the present movements in Man
churia, but there is a general air of
confidence among the higher officers,
who are absolutely posted on the situa
tion, which is believed to indicate that
General Kuroki has again scored a com
plete success and that official announce'
ment may be expected very soon.
Up to midnight Monday no particu
lars of the fighting had been given out,
but it was stated that, so tar as was
known, only the right and center of
Marshal Oyama's army had been engag
ed and that the conditions on the left
are unchanged.
It is the general opinion among the
best informed experts in the Japanese
capital that the present movement, be
fore it ends, will result in the capture
of Mukden. - It is known that orders
have been sent to Field Marshal Oyama,
telling him that the time is ripe for
taking the Russian main position, as,
if action is postponed much longer, the
spring thaws with their resultant floods
will be upon him and it will be im
possible to do any fighting until the
roads dry up.
There is, of course,a possibility that
the present movement may have for its
object, as well as the capture of Muk
den, the isolation of Vladivostok. In
view of the recent, reports that the port
was being blockaded by sea by a Japan
ese squadron of torpedo boats and pro
tected cruisers, there can be , little
doubt that, if Kuroki crushes the Rus
sian left, such troops as can be spared
will be assigned to a special campaign
against the Siberian stronghold.

Panama Canal Commission's Plans for
. : ' i' Isthmian Waterway.
Washington, Feb. 28. The first defi
nite enigneering plans for the construc
tion of the Panama canal have just
been laid before the Isthmian canal
commission by the engineering comit
tee of that body, consisting of Com
missioners Burr, Parsons and Davis.
The principal recommendations are
summed up in this resolution:
Resolved, That this committee ap
prove and recommend for adoption by
the commission a plan for a sea-level
canal, with a bottom width of 150 feet
and a minimum depth of water of 35
feet, and with twin tidal locks at Mira-
nores, whose usable dimensions shall
be 1,000 feet long and 100 feet wide, at
a total estimated cost of $230,500,000.
"Such estimates include an allow
ance for administration, engineering,
sanitation and contingencies, amount
ing to $38,450,000, but without allow
ance for interest during construction,
expense of zone government and collat
eral costs and water supply sewers or
paving of Panama or Colon, which last
items are to be repaid by the inhabi
tants of those cities."
The committee estimates that a sea-
level canal can be completed within 10
or 12 years from the present time. .
These recommendations are the con
clusion of a report to the committee
prepared in the canal zone under date
of Febraury 1 last, and based on com
plete engineering reports on all of. the
problems involved.'
The committee decided that, under
no circumstances, should the surface of
the canal be more than 60 feet above
the sea, and estimates that this level
the cost would be $178,013,06. A 30-
foot level is estimated to cost $19,213,-406.

OREGON STATE ITElfOF INTEREST
NO' STATE FAIR THIS YEAR.
Attorney General Says State Funds
Cannot be Used for Race Meet.
Salem "No state fair can be held in
1905," declares Attorney General
Crawford, in anwser to an inquiry from
the state fair board. The legislature at
its recent session passed an act author
izing and directing the state fair board
to expend the annual appropriation of
$10,000 for improvements in 1905, and
relieving the board from holding an ex
hibit in that year.
The fair board, however, was anxious
to hold a fair this year and sought to
find authority therefor in section 4138
of the code, making it the duty of the
board to hold "an annual fair or exhi
bition," which section has not been repealed.
The attorney general holds that, al
though this section has not been re
pealed, expressly or by implication,
the legislature has suspended the hold
ing of the fair for one year. He also
holds that the annual appropriation of
$10,000, together with the additional
$5,000 appropriated by the legislature,
must be used for improvements at the
fair grounds during the year 1905, and
that any sum not so used will revert to
the general fund. In conclusion Attor
ney Vieneral Urawlord says there is
nothing "to prevent the board from
holding a race meet in lauo, but none
of the state appropriation can be used
for that purpose.
House Committee Reports in Favor of
Curtis' Tariff Bill.
Washington, Feb. 28. Chairman
Paine, of the house ways and means
committee, today filed a report favor
ing the passage of the Curtis bill .pro
viding for the free entry of products
from the Philippine islands, except
sugar and tobacco, on which. 25 per
cent of the Dingley tariff is to be col
lected. The report declares that ' the
enly logical result of our possession" of
the islands is free trade.
It has been definitely settled, it says,
that we will retain the islands until
their population is fitted for self-government,
and he repeats Secretary
Taft' s suggestion that this will be at
least one generation. Until the treaty
stipulation between the United States
and Spain shall expire in 1909, all
tariff advantages given by the islands
to the United States must be given to
Spain, and for that reason reciprocal
free trade is not feasible. The present
bill, says the report, goes as far as is
practicable under ' these consditions
FOUR SENATORS EXPELLED.
Twenty-Three Killed in West Virginia
Mine Explosion.
Bluefield, W. Va., Feb. 28. As a
result of an explosion in shaft No. 1
of the United States Coal and Coke
company, at Wilcoe, today, 23 miners
are supposed to have losx their lives,
and it is possible that the number will
exceed this.
Up to 8 p. m. 15 bodies had been
taken horn the shafts. A large rescu
ing party is in the mines tonight. It
is barely possisible, but not likely, that
some of the remaining entombed min
ers will be rescued alive.
The explosion was of terrific force,
and shattered windows a mile, distant
Immediately after the shock great num
bers of miners, who were, off duty,
rushed to the shaft to find great clouds
of smoke and dust gushing from its
mouth. Mothers, children and other
relatives soon were weeping and plead
ing for the rescue of those dear to them
entombed in the mine. The officials
of the mine were soon on the scene.
,f The company usually work in this
shaft about 75 miners, but today the
men were not all in, and the small loss
of life can be attributed only to this
fact.
VICTORY IS BARREN.
Monday. February 27.
Charles Swayne, district judge of the
Northern district of Florida, was today
acquitted by the senate of all-12 ar
ticles of impeachment against him.
President Roosevelt's policy of build
ing up a great navy came in for more
criticism today in the senate when the
naval appropriation bill was under con
sideration. The bill was passed, carry
ing appropriations of $100,300,000.
The house agreed to the conference
report on the army appropriation bill.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
was passed, carrying $45,272,280.
Warships Bombard Rebels.'
Constantinople, Feb. 24. Extremely
alarming reports are current , here con
cerning the situation at Batoum and
Poti. It is alleged that some vessels
of the Black sea squadron (Russian)
have bombarded Poti. An English
merchant who has just arrived " here
says he was obliged to flee from Ba
toum, where his life was menaced by
strikers and his office destroyed. This
merchant says the authorities of Ba

all Georgians, and are estimated to
number 40,000.

Rumors of Great Events.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 24. A second
day has passed without dispatches hav
ing been given out from General Kuro-
patkin, which is interpreted to support
the rumors that great events are in
progress in Manchuria. The war office,
however, steadfastly maintains that
there is no important news and that
there have been no developments since
the last dispatches made public, in
which the commander-in-chief re
ported all quiet.
Extra Session of Senate.
Washington, Feb. 24. The president
today issued a proclamation convening
the senate in special session at 12
o'clock noon on March 4 next, to "re
ceive such communications as may be

GRAIN OUTLOOK GOOD.
i
No Damage Done by Cold in Grand
Ronde and Acreage Large.
La Grande Up to the present pros
pects for the ' largest grain crop ever
raised east of the Blue mountains are
most flattering in the Grand Ronde.
The late cold spell did not do the
slightest damage to any of the fall sown
grain, which is looking excellent
Since the passing of the cold wave the
Grand Ronde has been having ideal
weather. Farmers in the valley are
overhauling their agricultural imple
ments with the intention of doing a.
greater amount of. plowing than ever.
Ground both in the Grand Ronde and
Wallowa valleys is in excellent condi
tion, owing to the abundant rainfall
during the winter months, the acreage
in 1905 will far exceed that of any pre
vious year.
Not only in cereals, but also in sugar
beet cultivation will the acreage be increased.
G. W. Buckman, one of the prosper
ous farmers in this valley, will plant
200 acres in beets. He will also put
in 2,000 acres in wheat, and will do all
his plowing by steam this season.

Anti-Trust Law Sustained.
Washington, eb. 28. The supreme
court of the United States has decided
the case of the National Cotton Oil
company vs. the state of Texas, involv
ing the Texas anti-trust law. The state
court found the company guilty under
that law and held that it had forfeited
its right to do business in the state,
The case was appealed to the supreme
court on constitutional grounds. That
court, however, in its opinion today,
held that the claim was un
tenable and sustained the verdict of
the court below.
Russians Were Able to Retire from
Position in Good Order.
Tokio, Feb. 28. The reports that are
arriving from the front indicate that
the severe engagements of the last few
days are the prelude of what now seems
will prove one of the bloodiest battles
of the war. A large portion of General
Kuroki s army has been engaged since
Thursday, and the latest reports indi
cate that the fighting still continues
with the advantage on the side of the
Japanese.
The capture of Beresneff by the Jap
anese, while a brilliant exploit, was
practically barren of results, in that
the Russians were enabled to retire in
good order, and concentrate at Tzenti
pass, which is now being attacked.
According to the latest reports from
the front that the public is permitted
to have access to General Kuroki's col
umn has been heavily reinforced, es
pecially with artillery, and many of
the siege guns of heavy caliber which
were used by the Russians at Port Ar
thur, and fell into the hands of General
Nogi's men after the fall of the Gib
raltar of the East," are now being
trained against General Kuropatkin's
forces.
Troops Moving Slowly.
London, Feb. 28. The correspondent
at St. Petersburg of the Times says that
the government is making concessions
to the railway men and placing the
railways under martial law with a view
to expediting the transportation of
troops to the Far East. The South
rifle brigade, which left Odessa two
months ago, is still near Omsk. The
latest units ordered for service include
some 25,000 men and 48 guns from
Caucasian garrisons. They cannot
reach General Kuropatkin before April,
at the earliest.
SNOW COVERED WASCO FIELDS
Only Damage to Wheat is Along the
Columbia River.
The Dalles From reports farmers
make, Wasco county has withstood the
recent cold better than almost any oth
er section of Eastern Oregon. During
the cold weather snow covered all grain
fields, with the exception of those in
the extreme north part of the county,
hence very little,.. it any, damage, was
done fall grain in the principal wheat
section of the county. Along the Co
lumbia river the snow had melted be
fore the freeze came, and in that section
grain has been more or less injured,
and reseeding will be necessary. On
Tygh ridge and about Dufur, the most
extensive grain growing section, the
damage is nominal, and only isolated
instances will reseeding be required
Where the snow has gone off since the
freeze grain is of good color and thrifty
and bids fair to make an excellent crop
New Grants Pass Iron Foundry,
Grants Pass Two carloads of ma
chinery have arrived here for the new
Grants Pass Iron and Steel works, the
enterprise that has become a necessity
by the rapid growth of the mines and
the demand for mining machinery and
castings. Local people are backing the
enterprise, and it will be the largest
foundry and machine shop in the state
south of Portland. The huge planing
machine, turning lathes and drill press.
capable of handling the largest -castings
or shaftings, are among the consign
ment and are being unloaded. A five-
ton and three-ton cupola will handle
the casting for the foundry.
Contracts to Sell Wool.
Pendleton Kil Kenney, who resides
southwest of here, has contracted his
wool for this year to Zack Brown, the
hide dealer of this city, receiving 13
cents a pound for the clip. The wool
comes from the Sandy district, and, al
though the price seems small for this
year's crop, it is an advance of 3 cents
over last year and is a good figure
Mr. Kenney is one of the few of the
county who have contracted, as the
greater number of the sheepmen desire
to hold, believing that the price will ad
vance even more than it has.
Passes Taken by Japanese.
Mukden, Feb. 28. The Russians re
port that the Japanese are m posses
sion of Taling, and also the pass be
tween Taling and Katouling. The pos
session of Taling threatens Fusharnk,
Tieplmg and Hiegesway. Taling is re
garded as of the same consequence to
the Japanese in their operations
against Mukden as was Motienling in
relation to Liao Yang. In case the
Japanese push on to the southeast,
their operations will be in the hills,

Cougars Destroying Stock.
Cottage Grove Cougars are quite
numerous in the mils west oi this
place. A few farmers have reported
combined loss of $140 in the last few
months and numerous goats and sheep
have been disappearing for the past
month. Several cougars have been
killed this winter, and if there was
bounty for the killing this part of Lane
would furnish its share of the beasts
Where a cougar turns his attention
to goats, he often "gets away" with
about two a day.
RICHER THAN FIRST REPORTED,
Strike in Bohemia Mine Improves on
Further Development.
Cottage Grove The strike in the
Crystal Consolidated mine in Bohemia, .
made over a month ago, of six feet of
ore, partly free milling and partly base,
has greatly improved since then. The
drift has been extended some 25 feet
and the ledge now shows seven feet of
solid ore. The ore is high grade. Test
were made on the ore at the time of
the strike and assayed $54 per ton, car
rying copper, lead and zinc.
One of the miners just arrived from
there reports that the ore is now much;
better than it was given when the test
was made. The company is getting;
everything ready to start its stampmill
as soon as the weather will permit,,
probably April 1. The object of mill
ing this ore is to reduce it to concen
trates, whioh will probably be 4 to 1,
and separate the copper, lead and zinc
on their concentrators. The concen
trates will then be shipped to smelters
where that class of mineral is treated.
Another Independent Line.
Chemawa Poles have been set and
wires strung for the Chemawa farmers'
telephone line. A stock company has
been formed and incorporated and the
members of the association have done
the construction . work among them
selves. An agreement has been entered
into with the Pacific States telephone
company on terms that will assure the
subscribers of the system very reasona-
be rates. They now have about 30
phones on the system, which taps one
of the best suburban districts of the
capital city, and will mean an increase
of business for several Salem firms.
New Telephone Line March 5.
Pendleton The change from the old
style telephone system to the central
energy system will be completed by the
5th of March, when the "cut over will
be made. Under present circumstances
the old telephones may be used with
the new board, which has been planed
in position, but the new instruments
will not work with the old board. The
new instruments are a great improveent
over the old ones in appearance, being:
much smaller. The battery box is dis
pensed with and the electricity generat
ed at the central office. x
Peach Crop Injured by Cold.
Milton S. . Shields, commission
merchant here, says that on his inves
tigation and inquiry from others the
peach crop for the coming year has been
seriously injured by the recent severe
cold snap. He estimates that there
will be half a crop or better. The va
rieties most injured are' the Elberta,
Solway and the late Crawford. Other
varieties seem to have fared better.
Other kinds of fruits seem to have es
caped. Almond Trees in Bloom.
Grants Pass Almond trees are in
bloom in Grants Pass, the warm weath
er of the past month having brought
them out several weeks earlier than
usual. Peach trees are also ready to
burst into bloom, and will be in full
blossom within the next ten days. The
bloom is very heavy on the ' almond
trees, and if no't nipped by late frosts,
the crop of almonds from Southern Ore
gon will be good this season.
Will Open Seed House.
' Pendleton S. H. Forshaw, the flor
ist, has leased the Despain building on
Alta street, formerly occupied by , D.
Kemler with a grocery store, and will
open a seed room, handling also cut
