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,-

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.
