(Concluded from 1st page.) could soon be expected. A few minutes later, it was announced that a sweeping victory over the Russian Siberian fleet had been gained by the Japanese second fleet, under the immediate command of Admiral Kamimura, and that a bulletin would soon be made public Shortly afterward this was done, but it gave no details of the fighting, simply saying : "We encountered the enemy's Vladi vostok fleet at 5 o'clock Sunday morn ing north of Tsushima Island. We im mediately engaged it, and the conflict which followed lasted for five hours, at the conclusion of which the enemy fled northward in a very badly damaged condition. The enemy's armored cruiser Rurik wag sunk by our fire, carrying down with her moat of her crew. The cruisers Rossia and Gromo boi fled to the northward, after having sustained serious damage. Our damage is slight." TOKIO WIVES VENT TO ITS JOV. One of tlie Most .Serious Problems of the War is Solved. Tokio, Aug. 14. News of the victory of Vice-Admiral Kamimura over the Vladivostok squadron, following bo elcsely the brilliant work of Admiral Togo at Port Arthur, causes great and general rejoicing, and tonight flags are flying, lanterns are glimmering, and numbers of "banzai" are ringing in the streets. Urderneath the jollification of the populaae lies a feeling of deep satiefac tion and gratification at the disposal of a desperately serious problem of the war. The Russian pquadron which con fronted Admiral Togo refased battle. It was stronger than Admiral Togo's squadron in battleships and armored cruisers, and had it elected to fight the result might have altered the fortunes of war. The strength of the squadron which opposed Admiral Togo compelled him to draw vessels from the squadron under Vice-Admiral Kamimura, and this left the Japanese navy powerless to operate against the Russian Vladivostok squadron and unable to prevent the raids of these vessels. The raid conducted bv the Vladivo stok squadron in July wbs extremely expensive to Japan, and not only was letaliation tempting, but it was de manded by commercial interests. The navy, however, grimly refused to make a diversion and stuck to Port Arthur. It was confident haibor soon would be untenable for the Russian warships; 1 ' ilmf if trrml.l ni-nn nnl lit f : Vl t ! . in me c'l'en prn, away iroin ine lusian land ha'tories, and that the Japanese would w;n. Tl cfil-.'n'ation of the nivv were correct, and the IIu?sirnp, with the chances even, have been hope lessly defeated. JapaneFe gun dominate the dock yaids at Port Arthur, and in view of this fact it would seem to be impossible again to make seaworthy or fightable the four Russian battleships which have returned . to Port Arthur. It is probable that the Russian battleship Czarevitch will disarm at Tsing Chou. In the fighting of August 10 the squadron under Admiral Togo was practically uninjured. The battleship Mikasa suffered the most, but 6he con tinues on the Auditing line The ruis ers Kukumo, Nishiu and Kasuca also were Idt, but temporary rtpairs already have been made, and they ate fully ser-vie- able. Eleven wounded officers and 66 wounded men arrived at Sasebo today. The Imperial Prince Eliroyaeu Kwacho, who holds the rank of Commander in the Japanese navy, whs hit in the re gion of the heart. His wound, how ever, is slight. The steamer Gaelio, bound for Shang hai, at 10 o'clock yesterday morning sigtited a Russian cruiser, evidently the Novik, steering southeast by east. The courne showed her to be heading for Vnndieman Strait. A throwing- Industry. The manufacture of wooden boxes in Portland is assuming immense propor tions, and the three factories of the Multnomuh Trunk and Box company, the Standard Box and Lumber com pany, and the Star Box company are running on full time. It is estimated that nearly 100,000 feet of spruce lum ber goes into boxes daily in Portland. Just now is the slack time between the berry and the fall fruit Beasons, but the regular local demand for boxes con tinues good. Soon will come the rush for peach, apple and other fruit boxes, and orders are already being received from Oregon and California points. Shipments of fruit boxes are made from Portland to Denver, and to other out side points. Some shipments are made to the East, but the high freight rate of 50 and CO cents per hundred makes it difficult to get into the market in Mis souri and Mississippi valley points. Portland Journal. Found 50000 Old Pennies. An old nail keg was recently unearth ed in one of our Western cities by work men engaged in tearing down an old building. Upon opening it thev became very much elated, as it was full of pen nies, but their joy was soon turned to disappointment, for on closer examina tion they were found to be commercial pennies, used during the war, and of no value whatever now. The above has also been the experience of sickly men nd women who were deceived into try ing various remedies to restore them to health, but because they contained no merit were sadly disnppcintsd. Not so, however, with thone who selected IIos tetter's Stomach Bitters to cure them of belching, heartburn, indigestion, dys pepsia or malaria, fever and ague, for today they enjoy perfect health. A trial will convince you too. The steerage rate from Europe to America and return is only $24. GO now. Don't sleep with your mouth open. Flies with a suicidal intent should not be encouraged. Suicide Prevented. The startling announcement that a preventive of suicide had been discov ered will interest many. A run down system or despondency invariably pre cede suicide, and something has been found that will prevent that condition which makes suicide likely.

A Missouri editor announced that just for one issue he wou'd tell the truth. Here are a few items from that issue. "John Bonin, the lazient merchant in town made a trip to Bellview yesterday. "John Doyle, our groceryman, is do inga poor business. His store is dirty, dusty, and notoriously odoriferous. How can he expect to do much ? "Rev Styz preached Sunday night on "Charity." The 6ermon was punk. If the reverend gentleman would live up a little closer to what he preaches he would have bigger congregations. "Dave Sonkey died at his home in this place Saturday. The doctor gave it out as heart failure. The fact is that he was drunk and whiskey is what killed him. His home was a rented shack in Roudy street. "Married Miss Sylvia Rhoden and James Canahan, last Saturday evening, at the Baptist parsonage. The bride is a very ordinary town girl, who doesn't know any more about cooking than a rabbit, and never helped her mother three days in her life. She is not a beauty, by any mens, and has a gait like a fat duck. The groom is well known here as an up to date loafer. He has been living off the folks all his life, and doesn't amount to shucks. They will have a hard life while they live together, and the News has no con gratulations to offer, for we don't be lieve any good can come of suoh a union." The issue in which he told the truth was the last one for that editor. Now in the morn, when the dew diamonds sparkle Bnd the sweet throated birds make melody, the subscribers to that paper while it was published, drive out into the country a short way and gaze meditatively upon a piece of tanned skin hanging on a barbed wire fence. It is all that remains of the once manly form of the editor who told the truth for one week. They are telling this one on one of our local doctors. A patient called at his office, stated his ills, and tbe doctor wrote a prescription and handed it to him. The patient then inquired the probable cost of getting it filled and was told about 60 cents would pay the bill. The patient then asked the doc tor for the loan of that amount and the doctor, scratching his head, drew a line through several parts of the prescrip tion and then handed it to the patient, saving, "Now you can get it filled for a diino. Those I scratched out were for your nerve; but I see you don't need anything for that." Ex. End of Bitter Fight. "Two physicians had a long and stub born fight with an abscess on my right lung," writes J. F. Hughes, of DuPont, Ga., "and gave me up. Everybody thought ray time had come. As a last resort I tried Dr. King's New Discovery lor Consumption. The benefit I received was striking and I was on my feet in a few days. Now I've entirely regained my health."

"The Interior Department will not create any more forest reserves in Oregon at this time because it is afraid in so doing it would open up endless opportnni ies for deu land i p rators." This is the explanation given today by an official who is handling forestry matters undr Secntary Hitchcok's di rection. While the Burenu of Forestry, recommending the establishment of Blue Mountain Reserve, has carefully drawn its bouoda'ies so as to exclude practicady all private holdings, yet if a reserve should be created on those lines the Department fears that after the re serve was created, grent numbers of speculators would file entries and allege settlement on land in the reserve prior to the hme when the original withdraw al was made. The department officials admit it would be a comparatively easy thing for speculators to briDg forward witnesses to swear falsely as to their having es tablished residence on this land, and it would be almost impossible for the gov ernment to secure evidence which would justify the rejection of these en tries. Once speculators established their right to the reserve lands, they would be entitled under the law to re linquish them and make lieu selections of more valuable lands elsewhere.

One of the most vivid descrip tions of arctic scenery ever penned is given by Harry Do Windt in his hook, "Paris to New York hy Land." In it he gives the following picture of the Arctic sea : "Place a piece of coal sprinkled with h:: t a white tablecloth, a Vy ii: . k'A olf it scatter Mmie lump sugar, and it will give yon in Miniature a very fair pr snt nieni of the scenery. The !.' 1 is (he hleak coast line, cont inim'ly w ?i clear of snow by furion "rsles; the sugar, sea ice, and the loth frozen beach over which, we i-'!irneeil for over lOU wiles. The dreary outlook never changed; occasionally the elp'a vanished and our way woi'd lie across the tundras marshy plains which in summer encircle the Polar sea with a belt of ver dure and wild flowers, but which in winter time are merged with the frozen ocean in one boundless, bewildering wilderness of white. In hazy weather land and sky formed one impenetrable veil, with no horizon as dividing line, when, even at a short distance away, men and dog sleds resem bled Hies crawling up a white cur tain. "But on clear days, unfortun ately rare, (he blue sky was Med iterranean, and at such times the bergs out at sea would flash like jewels in the full blaze of the sun shine, -while blocks of dark green ice, half buried in snow under shadow of the cliffs, would appear for all the world like "cabochon" emeralds dropped into a mass of whipped cream. But the reverse of this picture was depressing in the extreme. For on cloudy day the sun would assume a dull lead en appearance, and the sea ice be come a slate gray, with dense banks of woolly, white fog encir cling the dismal scene. Fair and foul weather in the arctic remind ed me of some beautiful woman, bejeweled and radiant amid lights and laughter, and the same divin ity landing disheveled and sea sick from the deck of a channe) steamer." NOT A FARMING COUNTRY. Got. B6y'i Reports, Saya an re All Wrong Rich In Metals Only. "When people read that Alaska 1 capable of groat agricultural develop ment, they should pass up the state ment for rv.Miisn and nonsense." Fairi Mr. H.
