JAPAN TAKES NOTICE
Would Discourage Emigration and
Continue Friendly Relations.
Washington, Jan. 2(5. Marquis Kat
sura, prime minister of Japan, and
Count Komura, .minister of foreign
affairs, recently explained at Tokio to
Francis B. Loomis, commissioner-general
to the Japanese exposition, in a
series of interviews of uncommon in
terest and of great political import
ance, the attitude and position of the
Japanese government in respect to the
main questions at issue between Japan
and the United States.
"I was deeply and agreeably im
pressed," said Mr. Loomis, "with the
direct, explicit and what seemed to me
satisfactory statement of Count Komu
ra, minister of foreign affairs, respect
ing the United States. His, utterances
were frank, clear and cordial.
"Count Komura and Japan's aspira
tions were for peace and that, so far as
the United States was concerned, his
country most heartily desired to pre
serve unbroken and unimpaired the his
tory of the friendship between Japan
and the United States. He said the
people of Japan had long felt that the
United States had been not only a kind
friend to Japan, but a very dependable
and helpful one, and that this govern
ment earnestly desired this amicable
relationship to continue and would loy
ally endeavor to do its utmost to main
tain it. He declared the actions of
thi3 government had borne out its
words and promises.
"In the matter of emigration of Jap
anese laborers," said Count Komuia,
"we are doing our utmost to work in
harmony with the government of the
United States and to meet its wishes.
We are energetic in discouraging emi
gration to the United States and else
where except to Corea, Formosa and
parts of Manchuria. It is the definite
policy of the government of Japan to
concentrate its surplus populations
that which is disposed to emigrate in
these parts of the Orient which I have
mentioned. There is opportunity for a
very large number of our people in Co
rea. They can be of general assist
ance in modernizing the development
of that country and can add vastly to
its productiveness, and at the same
time better their own class.
LIGHTSHIPS REACH COAST.
Flotilla Arrives at Bay City 125 Days
Out From New York.
San Francisco, Jan. 26. Weather
beaten and stained by the storms of
many seas, the lightship flotilla sailed
into port today, 125 days out from New
Xork. The little fleet, consisting of
three lightships and three lighthouse
tenders, made its voyage of more than
14,000 miles without mishap, and Cap
tain Albert Mertz, who is in command,
is highly pleased with the performance
of his staunch little craft. Out of
Callao, the lightships were taken in
tow by the tenders to save coal, and
175 miles were covered in this way.
The lightship Columbia River, No.
88, will go north to guard the entrance
of the stream after which she is named.
The Swiftsure, No. 93, and the tender
Manzanita go to the Straits of Fuca,
the entrance to Puget Sound. The Re
lief and tender Sequaia will remain
here, and the tender Kuqui goes to
Honolulu.
OFF FOR PANAMA.
President-elect Taft
bark on U. S
and Party Em
Cruisers. Charleston, S. C, Jan.
dent-elect Taft and wife
26. Presi-
and many
newspaper correspondents, a corps of
expert engineers and other distinguish
ed friends, will begin tomorrow morn
in? a cruise that will end at New Or
leans February 13.
Mr. Taft and his immediate party
will sail on the North Carolina and the
others will so on the Montana. Both
boats will be crowded to the limit,
Returning from Panama the Taft party
will be transferred from the warships
to the scout cruisers Birmingham an1
Salem for the trip up the mouth of the
Mississippi river. This arrangement
will permit the North Carolina and
Montana to assist in escorting home
the battleship fleet on its return from
the world-wide cruise.
Utah May Be Made Dry.
Salt Lake City, Jan. 26. Prohibi
tion that shall be state wide and abso
lute is the intent of a bill introduced
in the lower branch of Utah's legisla
ture yetserday. The measure, which
was drawn under the direction of the
anti-saloon league in this city, and
which is supposed to have thj indorse
ment of the more influential members
of the dominant church in Utah, i3
drasttic in the extreme. Supporters
of the prohibition bill assert that two
thirds of the members of the house are
pledged in its favor.
California Race Tracks Doomed.
San Francisco, Jan. 26. That rac
ing in the state of California is doomed
and that the present season at the fa
mous Emeryvlile and Santa Anita
courses will mark the passing of the
"sport of kings," is the opinion of the
majority of race followers at Sacra
mento. The passage of the Walker-
Otis anti-racetrack bill by an over
whelm'ng majority in the lower house
has spread consternation in the ranks
of the opponents of the proposed law.
Fire Scares Passengers.
Kenmore, Ireland, Jan. 26. Twen
ty-four passengers on the packet from
Liverpool to Cork had a thrilling expe
rience on Saturday night. Fire was
discovered on the shin and with etc at
fficulty all the passengers were trans
ferred to a passing Fhip. They were
landed at Holyhead this morning. The
packet was beached and buinedtothe
water's edge.
A WEEK WITH OUR
Saturday, Jan. 23.
Salem, Jan. 23. Senator Hart's
mine inspection bill provides for the
appointment of an inspector who is to
be a deputy in the oflice of the Labor
Commissioner, and give his entire time
to the inspection of mines. He is to
receive $4.50 per day and actual ex
penses while so engaged. The bill is
in general framed upon the plan of the
general labor commission law.
Secretary of State F. W. Benson has
asked the Legislature to arrange for
the publication of a small pamphlet on
the resources of Oregon, giving au
thentic information regarding all por
tions of the state, which pamphlet may
be mailed to people in the East who
write for information. At present
there is no public document which the
state officers can send in answer to
such inquiries. The secretary's idea is
that the pamphlet should contain infor
mation furnished by the several coun
ties, edited to see that it is correct,
and that each county be assigned the
same amount of space in the pamphlet.
The preparation of the matter for the
pamphlet would cost the state nothing,
and the only expense would be printing
the pamphlets and mailing them.
Senator Bailey's bill to create a pub
lic playgrounds board in Portland is
likely to run against a constitutional
obstruction. While it does not ex
pressly purport to amend the charter of
the City of Portland, it creates a board
with power to levy a tax in Portland
and to purchase and manage property
and public institutions, which property
is to be owned by the City of Portland.
Friday, January 22.
Salem, Jan. 22. The senate passed
four bills today and received six new
ones. Those passed are :
Allowing members of congress to
register without coming home; provid
ing fire escapes for all hotels and lodg
ing houses; the nine-foot bed sheet
bill, and giving the Circuit judge of
Baker county an increase of $1,000
in salary, to be paid by the county.
A bill was introduced in the house
limiting the legal rate of interest to 6
per cent, but allowing 8 per cent on
contracts.
A movement has been started which
has for its purpose the annulment of
the Statement No. 1 feature ot the
primary law.
The demand for a branch asylum
for Eastern Oregon is causing quite
stir, as is also the talk ot removing
the capital from Salem to Portland.
Some members want the state fair
moved to Portland also.
Thursday, January 21.
Salem, Jan. 21. Unless the ways
and means committees of the Oregon
legislature put on the economy brakes
hard this session will go down in his
tory as the most extravagant that ever
sat at Salem. It is sure to go down as
the most expensive.
Appropriation bills galore have been
introduced, and the session is only one-
third through. The calls for cash will
amount to fully $5,500,000, and may
reach $6,000,000
Four bills have been passed by the
house and six to the senate, among
thorn being:
Extending until March, 1911, time
in which appropriation for purchase of
Oregon City locks shall be available;
increasing penalties for highway rob
bery; permitting banks to act as trus
tees.
lwentv-hve new bills appeared in
the house today, among them ;

heur county in improving Snake river
at Ontario; creating office of inspector
of boilers; providing for state veter
inarian: prohibiting manfacture and
sale of cigarettes; appropriating $15,
000 annually to aid government in
making topographical maps of Oregon
The senate succeeded in getting only
19 new measures before that body to
day, among them :
Appropriating $2,500 annually for
experiment station in Eastern Oregon
in co-operation with government; ere
ating county of Nesmith from por
tions of Lane and Douglas counties; to
regulate appropriation of water.
Wednesday, Januaty"20.
Salem, Jan. 20. Confirmation of
Chamberlain's election as United States
senator was made today by the legisla
ture, in the manner prescribed by the
Federal statute. The two houses met
in joint assembly, heard the reading of
yesterday's journal, relating to the
election in each house, and received
from President Bowerman, of the Fen
ate, the announcement that Chamber
lain had been elected.
The only unusual event was the read
ing of the protests of the legislators
who had cast unwilling votes for Cham
berlain and Cake.
Twenty-nine bills were introduced in
the house today, among them the fol
lowing: Providing for insurance department
and creating insurance commissioner at
a salary of $4,000 per annum; requir
ing doors of public buildings to open
outward; regulating use of hatpins and
limiting length to 10 inches; appro
priating $130,000 for additional build-
Good Prices for Grain.
Klamath Falls Wheat, oats and
barley are now selling in Klamath
county at $2.50 a hundredweight, and
flour at $1.75 a sack. The shortage in
last year's crop, as well as the amount
of work going on in the county, has
put up the price. A good many farm
ers are still holding their crops, bo it
is not like'y there will be a serious
shortage before next summer, when the
railroad will be into Klamath Falls,
and shipments of grain can be made.

000; to divide state into five normal
districts, retaining all present schools
and establishing a new one at Port
land; appropriating $20,000 for hatch
eries on coast streams south of the Co
lumbia; to establish state sanitoria

therefor and abolishing all other state
normals.
A large proportion of the bills in
both houses were of a local nature.
Tuesday, January 19.
Salem, Jan. 19. When President
Boweiman at noon announced that the
time had arrived to ballot for United
States senator every inch of standing
room in the chamber was taken. Prom
inent citizens from all over the state
were seated by the side of members
or sandwiched in the crowd outside the
railing. There was a tense stillness
when the voting began, broken by ap
plause when Senator Abraham, first on
the roll, cast his vote for Chamberlain.
There was also scattering applause
when the first vote was cast for Fulton,
by Beach. But the greatest enthusi
asm was reached when Senators Kay
and Selling closed vigorous remarks
with votes for Chamberla'n.
His seating , in the United States
senate will be contested on the ground
that he received but 29 free votes in
the house, or two short of a majority.
His five additional votes in the house
were cast for him by Republicans un
der protest, who declared that they
were constrained to do so by their
Statement No. 1 pledge, and that they
were not exercising their constitution
al free choice.
Those' who voted for Chamberlain
and placed their protests in the journal
are : Senate Schofield of Clatsop and
Johnson of Benton; Barrett of Wash
ington did the same, but his protest by
some oversight is omitted. House
Brady, Davis and Mahone of Multno
mah, Richardson of Union and Muncy
of Curry.

meet in joint assembly and President
Bowerman will declare Chamberlain
elected.

Bandon Puts in Bulkhead.
Bandon James Laughead, of Tort-
land, has arrived here and will begin
at once the construction of a bulkhead
on the north side of the Coquille river,
to protect the bank from the breakers,
which dash against it constantly who.-"
they come from the southwest. The
bank has been washed away to such an
extent that the residence of the light
house keeper on the north side of
the river is in danger of being under
mined. The inheritance tax law is likely to
be revised so as to provide more reve
nue. A new move is on foot to have the
government take up the Malheur irri
gation project.
SCHOONER IS WRECKED.
Strikes Near Point Where Valencia
Was Lost Two Years Ago.
Victoria, B. C, Jan. 25. The Amer
ican four-masted schooner Soquel, Cap
tain Jamieson, from Callao, due De
cember 9, to Port Townsend in ballast,
is a total wreck on Seabird Rocks, at
the mouth of Pechena Bay, close to
where the steamer Valencia was lost
with 140 lives on the same day two
years ago.
The Soquel was endeavoring to make
her way into the straits for Port Town
send, anl Captain Jamieson's wife and
child were killed by falling spars
when two of the masts came down soon
after the schooner drove on the rocks.
The steamers Tees and Lebro, the
latter carrying the crew of the wrecked
Bamfield creek motor lifeboat, with
difficulty rescued five of the crew.
The Lebro's boat was swamped during
the rescue work and some of the life
savers were almost drowned.
The Tees boat picked them up. Six
men, one prostraled with a broken leg
as a result of a falling spar striking
him, could not be got off, and darkness
came. They were left on board the
wreck and the Tees went to Bamfield
to land those saved.
The United States revenue cutter
Manning, on special detail as life-saving
packet, put out from Neah bay at
4 :30 this afternoon to render assistance
to the wrecked craft. She took with
her the lifesaying crew ef Waahdi is
land station. The Manning found the
Soquel so firmly impaled on jagged
rocks that there is small chance she
will ever be gotten afloat again.
The five men rescued by the Tees
were recovered from one of the Sea
bird rocks, which are almost awash at
high water. They reached the rocks
early this morning. They had built a
fire on the rock with driftwood and
were huddled about the fire awaiting
rescue.
COSGROVE IS WEATHERBOUND
Will Remain in Car at Oakland Till S.
P. Road Is Cleared.
San Francisco, Jan. 2b. Governor
elect Cosgrove is not so soon to leave
California for the north. He was due
to leave this afternoon at 2 o'clock,
but word came that the Southern Paci
fic lines were blocked and he will re
main in his private car indefinitely un-
tl he can go through without delay
It will probably be soeral days before
his car moves.
In the meantime he is located at th
Oakland mole, as his physicians believe
it would be unwise for him 1o go to a
hotel. The place is not adapted to
quiet, as trair.s are moving at all hours
of the night, but the governor is deter
mined to make the best of a bad situa
tion. The car is so equipped that all
meals can be served without his mov
ing from the train.
It is sa d by those close to the gover
nor that he obstinately refuses to dis
cuss the political situation, but that he
is anxious to return to Olympia to set
tle the tangle as to who is governor of
the state of Washington.
SWELTERING IN JANUARY.
Chicago Experiences Warmest Winter
Weather in 39 Years.
Chicago, Jan. 25. Chicago today
experienced the warmest January
weather since 1870. The temperature
reached 66 above, th former record
being 65. this point being reached in
1870, and again in 1876. January 29.
1906, the temperature reached 61
above, but only for a brief time.
Today people went about thinly-clad,
forsaking wraps, and in homes and
offices all heat was shut off and win
dows and doors thrown open to the
limit. Physicians say the unseasona
ble weather will result in much illness,
as it will plant the germs of pneumo
nia and kindred ailments.
Continued warm southerly winds are
responsible for the peculiar conditi ns
here. Rain is predicted for tomorrow,
after which it will become colder. De
cidedly warmer weather prevails
throughout the middle west, and the
snow is disappearing everywhere. One
peculiarity of the unusual weather is
the soggy nature of the atmosphere,
making it difficult to breathe.
Duke Again Triumphant.
Washington, Jan. 25. That the
Duke de Abruzzi is the only man who
has succeeded in reaching the top of
Mount St. Elias, in Alaska, was
brought out in the consideration by the
house committee on foreign affairs of
the appropriation asked for marking
the Alaskan boundary. This moun
tain is one of the peaks which are
crossed by the boundary line and is an
evidence of the difficulties attending
the work of marking the boundary be
tween Alaska and Canada.
Man Dies of Nightmare.
Eugene, Or., Jan. 25. Marion Nice,
a farmer, living near Thurston, died
early Saturday morning while under
the spell of nightmare. Mr. Nice was
in usual health yesterday, but has been
subject to nightmare for a number of
years. When his wife was aroused
early in the morning by the groaning
of her husband, she paid no particular
att"nt'nn, purh rpells being not unusual
with Nice. When he failed to rise his
wife found him dead.
Thi'gs Dynamite Bank.
Fredonia, Kan.. Jan. 25. The state
bank at New Albany, Feven miles west
of Fredonia. was robbed of $2900, at
an early hour today. The robbers cut
tho telephone wires leading out of the
little town and then dynamited the
bank. They then broke into the Frisco
