C. AshbaughProp. r Vladivostok, June 4. From the ac counts of participants in the battle of the Sea of Japan as given here can be constructed a picture of the first day of the fight on the morning of May 27: When the Russian fleet found itself 120 miles south of Tsu Island, it was headed for the straits in three columns. the battleships and five cruisers on the left, the light cruisers on the right, and and the transports and torpedo-boats between. The weather was fogey ana the view, therefore, difficult. At 8 o'clock in the morning the Rus sian fleet was discovered by the Japan ese cruiser Idzumo. which blundered upon it in the fog and narrowly es caped capture. At 10:30 o'clock four Japanese cruis ers, the Chitose, Kasuga, Tsushima aDd Nitaka, were discovered to the north east of the fleet and were fired on by the battleship. Ttie Japanese cruisers disappeared and the Russian fleet pro ceeded through the straits, Suddenly, at 11:30 o'clock in the af ternoon, a gaunf silhouette ot Japanese vessels, their greenish-blue paint mak ing them scarcely visible in the fog, loomed up to the westward of the Rus sian vess.ls. The Japanese consisted of four battleships and the armored cruisers Tnkiwa, Nisshin, Kasnga lwate t.nd Idumo. They immediately opened a heavy fi.e which was especial ly directed against the flagships of the various squadrons of the Russian fleet. Admiral Rojeblyensky signaled to the torpedo-boats to place themselves on the right of the squadron of light cruk ers, so as to increase their distance from the fight in portion of the fleet, which was now hotly engaged and Buffeting under the well aimed fire of the Japat. ese. Uwi g l0 the precision of the Jupan e e and the concentration of their fire on the flagthips, within an hour and a half the Knibz Houvarotf and theOelia- bia were reduced to wrecks and soon sank. Almost at the same time as the openiinr of the engagement between the battleship divisions a column of liKht Japanese cruisers appeared from the eastward and fell upon the retiring Ru8 sian transports and the light cruisers. The ci ulcers Vladimir, Monomaeh and Dmitri Dmskoi were detached from the left column and sent to their aid. They were repulsed by the Japanese cruisers, but n t before the Ural had beeu brought to a sinkiDg condition. Ti I . . . ine name continued until 5 o'clock without any farther noticeable change in the situation. Soon thereafter the battleship Alexander III bean to list badly and dropped out of the line, but was quickly repaired, resnmin her plane and re-opening fire. The batle ship Borodino was then heading the line. The Japanese, noticing U19 condi ionofthe Al-xan.ler 111. concentrate their fi e upon her and she dropped out of the line, this time finally, and disap peared. .Such a heavv lire from the Japanese 12-inch guns was then directed aeainst the Bjrodino that she was disabled and sank. This was at 7:30 o'clock in the evening. The battleship Sissoi Veliky was now ablaze, but as firing every available gun. At this hour the onslaught of torpedo bats from the coast of Japan and the closing in of the battleships holding together. during the night the Japanese tor pedo attacks continued, the result of which was not known here until the re port of the commander of the cruiser Izumrud was received from Vladimir Bay. During the battle a mass of Japanese junks is said to have obstructed move ments of the Russian fleet. The Rue sian officers assert that these junks scattered mines in the paths of their vessels The bodies of Lieutenant Machli?, of the cruiser Almaz, and other officers and sailors brought here by the Almaz. and the torpedo-boat destroyers were bnried here today. Captain Reiff, of the destroyer Grozeny, describing the capture of Ad miral Rojestyensky, said that his vespel in company with the destroyer Bedovi, on which Admiral Rojestven6ky es caped, were steaming northward when they encountered two Japanese destroy ed. The Bedovi signaled the Grozeny : 'How many knots can you make?" and on receiving the reply, "23" ordei- ed full speed for Vladivostok. The Grozeny, insteHd of obeying the tignal engaged one of the Japanese de stroyers, but the Bedovi raised the white flag and the red cross flag. While doing battle with her opponent the G-rzeny was unable to go to the aid of her consort, which was taken in tow by the Japanese de.troyer The Grozeny succeeded in shaking" off I er opponent und later encountered another Japanese destroyed vfhwh she sank, in a running fight.

Celilo, Or., June 3 Amid the lusty cheers of a vast and enthusiastic throng, and just as the hands of the clock stood at 12:30 today, George E. Chamber lain, Governor of Oregon, struck the last spike at Celi'o, which c wnplet-s The DaI!ee-(VIilo r.!tge Railroad, opens up to the euiiiniMM of the world the vast In-' ml Fnipi'e and realizes the dream t.f ii quarter f a centurv. It was a happy and suspicious func tion, and the deed was done under the' eyes and amid the applause of three I states whoe interests are ntfected in the climax of the greut undertiking. The spike sank into the now histor'c tie at the hands of the Governors of three states Geo-ge E. Chamberlain, of Oregon, Albei t E. Mead, of Washing ton, and Frank R. Gooding, of Idaho. It was an impressive moment when the word was given for the climax, and all was in readiness. First to wield the sledge was Governor Chamberlain, next was Governor Mead, then Goverrcr Gooding, then Senator Heyburn, of Idaho; Joseph N. Tea', otPoitlnd: W. D. Wheelwright, of Fortland ; Sena tor Clark, of Wyoming, and Judge Mariner, of Blalock. took the hammer and helped to make the future commer cial history of the Northwest. It was an enthusiastic throng that witnessed this realization of the ho; es of years. Nolens than 1000 stood 1 e fore the tlag-draped platform and chee: ed the utterances of the speakers which voiced the c-lebra'ion of an event for which so mny years of strenuous ffort have labored. at the opening of tl e Lewis and ;Chrk fair made use of the following statistics of the s'ate of Oregon. The governor said in part : Leaving the dUt'i uuished representa tives of the several states which have been mentioned to speak for their owt particular sections, let us consider for a mon ent ths progress which Oregon has made and ita present condition ard possibilities At the beginning of the present vear the population of Oron had reached 600,000, or ab iiit six persons to every square mi e of territory. A wocdtrful increase, indeed, under the circum stances of its separation from the rest of the world, but small as compared with the older ttates of the Union. If Ore gon were as thickly settled as Massa chusetts it would have a population of 40,000,000. Nor would it be difficult for the ttate to support such a popula-ion, and it h safe to predict, judging the fu'ure bv the p iet, that when once the country to the westward of the Cascade mountain and that which is situated between the Cascade mountains and the eastern boundary line of the state has been opened up by the construction of truuk and branch line railways, there will be a tide of immigra'ion set in unequaled in the annals of history. Tbe vast mountain ranges whir-h pir- al'el the coast line are covered fron bae fo peak with majestic forests o fi', larch, spruce, piue and cedar, mor. ex ensive than can be boasted of by anj o'hsnaUie in th JJuion,.-whil8t only u be developed are mines of go'd silver, copper, iron and coal exce ding in valm tlie wealth of "Ormus or of Ind." Nestling at the base of the coas range on the west and kissed by tin waves of the Pacific are to be s; en beau tiful tracts of land occupied in part bi nuine-ous settlers, and in part t-till opei to the homesteker, where dairying anc farming are engaged in, and will he er,- 1 T .uccAiui.-ueiy as ttio c nn try becomes more thickly settl. d. Tc the eastward from this range of moun tains and lying betwof-n it and the Cascade range on the east is the o'der settlement ot the beautiful Wi. Lunette. R"gue river and Umjqua valleys, rich beyond measure and bearing in abund ar.ee cereals, fruits and every variety of flora Hiid fauna. The climate of these two sections is not unlike, without ex tremes of heat or cold, and the time N not far distant when the tourist will seek an asylum here from the rigor and heat of both the extreme northern and southern sections of the cmntrv. Farther to the east is e beautiful valley of Hood River, and still farther east lie the higher tab'e lands of eastern Oregoo, thousands of acres of which are susceptible of the highest stage of cu) i vation, and many thousand acres more are being converted into lovely homes and farms by immense projects for irri gation on the part of the Cni ed States. The soil of this section is even richer than that in the western part of the state, and the climate, though elightlv severer is nevertheless milder and more inviting than is that of those states farther toward the east. No better idea can be formed of the wealth of tbe stae than by a sta'ement of the amount and value of a few of its products for the year 1904. It raised in wheat and flour 12,930,010 bushels, valued at if 13,806,000. Its timber output was 1, 415,(00,000 feet, valued at $12,650,000. Its hop yield was 16,00,000 rounds, valued at $4,000,000. I's fruit or.tpnt, consistii g of appleer, prunes, pears, peache", cherries, grapes, strawberries and snull fruits was worth !2,413,500. Its livestock was valued at $21,920.- 000. Its mining product was $10,000,000. Its wool arid mohair was valued at 3.000,000. I ts 'dairying produce was 97.052.SI0.' Its fishing industry proJuced $3,365,-641. Saved by Dynamite.
