MITD TO CANADA.
America Loses but One Point in tne
Dounilary Case,
tondon, Oct. 20. Tho Alaskan boun
dary commission has verbally agreed to
grant all tho American contentions ex
cept that of the Portland canal, which
goes to Canada. Tho formal agreement
is being drawn up.
The successful termination of arbitra
tion came as a complete surprise to all
interested in the caw, except perhaps
the commissioners themselves.
No hitch occurred during the entire
lllieratlons. and as these progresod
the confidence of the American commis
sioners that a dceesion substantially
upholding the American claims would
be given, increased; but it was admit
ted it would lie necessary to agree to n
compromise on the Portland canal.
The only disquieting leaiuro tor me
Americans during tho last few days had
lieon a vacuo idea that Chief Justice
Alverstone, even if he concluded to take
the American view, might bo unwilling
to go on record with a decision to take
effect, and a disagreement was not un
likely.
All that now remains to be done Is
for the commissioners to atllx their slg'
natures to tho decision and complete
tho map which will accompany It. Un
tho man w ill be marked tho boundary
line, definitely fixing the division of
American and British territory on sucn
a basis that no American citiien will
lose a foot of land he already lelicved
ho held, while tho United States will
get all the waterways to the rich Alas
kan territory with the exception of the
Portland canal.
Whether Messrs. Avlesworth and
Jctte, tho Canadian commissioners, will
sign the decision and mako ll unani
mous is not known, but it will not
affect tho validity of the agreement if a
minority report is submitted. The
actual marking of the line on the map
which shall forever determine tno re
tractive territories will ocupy some
time.
CANADA IS MUCH DOWNCAST.
Portland Canal Concession Is Little Bet
tcr Than None at All.
Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 20. The Canadian
government has not yet received the
official notice of the reported decision
in the Alaskan boundary matter. If
the decision is as reported, namely
that Portland canal is to remain in
Canadian territory, there is a feeling in
official circles that tho Dominion has
not much to be thankful for. Canada
in holding tho Portland canal retains
Wales and Fearse islands, which over
look Port Simnson. the proposed term
inus of the Giand Trunk-Pacific. It
would lie inconvenient to have lost
these islands, but as they were clearly
marked on Vancouver's map as being
in Canada, it is difficult to see how this
could have been done.
As the government has no official in
formation, none of the ministers will
speak on the subject for publication
North of Port Simpson, Canada will
have no harbor and no outlet on the
Pacific coast from tho Yukon goldflelds
WILL RISE TO A MAN.
People ol Rula Ready to Uphold the
Czar In the Far Eat.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 20. While ex
pressing the hoie of a peaceful issue of
the far Eastern crisis, the Novoe Vrcm-
ya points out that if war breaks out,
the Russians will rise as one man at
the call of the czar, and there can lie
no doubt regarding the ultimate issue.
The Novoe Vremya asserts that the
Japanese belief that Viceroy Alexieff
represents the Russian war party is
quite erroneous, adding:
"While the viceroy has been given
extensive administrative powers, he is
only the executor of the orders of the
czar in matters of foreign policy. Ono
of tho czar's chief aims, the mainten
ance of peace, is the fundamental basis
of Russian policy in the far East.
"This has been modified since the
institution of the viceroyalty, and tho
holder of the post cannot depart from
tho very clearly defined policy of the
Russian government w hich has no other
obiect than the peaceful prospreity of
the satte."
Pre Again Belligerent.
Paris, Oct. 20. Although tho ofli
cials do not take an alarmist view of
tho Russo-Japaneee situation, their lat
est advices indicate a renewal of its
somewhat serious aspect. Tho Russian
admiralty has prepared for a conccntra
tion of warships on tho Mediterranean
station, and at other European points
The reason for this is understood to
be the presence of Japanese warships in
European ports. Ino Japanese press,
which for a time was restrained by tho
government, has again adopted a belig'
ercnt attitude.

TO TEACH FARMING.
A New Study for Common School Course
U Proposed.
Sl.m The teaching of the elements
of nrgiculturo in the common schools
of Oregon is advocated by Superinten
.lout of Public instruction J. u. .w
man. The purpose of the introduction
nf this study would not bo to teach
ii,r oliihlron the technical side of scion
title farming, but rather to give them
an undeistandmg of such elementary
facts and principles as every person
who resides in an agricultural country
linnl.l know. Superintendent Acker
man believes that at some future time
such a study should be placed in the
common school course, and that before
thn tonrhlne of this branch is com
menced, timo should be given for the
teachers to prepare for tho work they
will be required to do. He would have
every applicant for a teacher's certifl'
cate' tako an examination in the sub
ject of elements of agriculture.

SMULTUR FOR UNION.
Great Plant to Be Installed Shortly In
I'mtcrn Oregon.
Union The consummation of ono ot
the most gigantic mining propositions
ever promoted In Union county, if not
In the entire state, was announced hero
a few day ago. lieorgo H. Downs, the
mining promoter, who has been mak
ing tho town ol rtli Powder his head
quarters tho past two year while at
work upon this big deal, stated that
his project has the backing ol isew
York capitalists, nnd that tho matter
has reached tho point of certainty of
consummation.
The company has lust perfected its
ncorporatlou, and the articles will be
Med with the county clerk hero and
with the secretary of state. The name
of the corporation Is the Eastern Oregon
Mining, Milling, Transportation, bmelt
Ing A Generating company. Tho capi
tal stock Is placed at f 5,000,000. The
first officers of the corporation will be
11. O. Gorham, president and treasurer;
V. II. Gorham, vice-president ami
George H. Downs, secretary and gen-
nil manager.
The company proposes to erect a 250
ton smelter near the town ot oxlt
Powder, in Union county, about 15
miles south of Union, for treating all
tho various grades of gold and copper
ores found In the southern part ol
Union countr and northern part of
Baker county, and in order to bring
such ores to the reduction works it is
proposed to build a number of short
electric lines to the mines, covering
distance of over 50 miles.
These lines are to lie built not only
for carriyng ores, but passengers and
freight as well. Manager Downs dc-
clincd to give particulars as to tho
routes of the lines, but says the entire
project is a certainty.

trict covered by a tiro which started
yesterday In the Muck block on Hume
treet. Tho loss is intimated at not
ess than $1,000,000, and tho Insurance
is not more than ouc.thlrd.
There wero four fatalities from (all
ng walls and suffocation and live other
persona wcro slightly Injured. All tin
buildings burned, except the Knuftman
dock, wero ol wood, and only vacant
areas ol land hero and there prevented
the entire town from U-liig fuel for the
(lames.
The fire started In tho Mack block, u
three story structure, occupied by tin
poverlshed bachelors, who cooked their
meals on small oil stoves. In one ol
these rooms a bhito was soon but lie
fore the department got to work tho in
terior was a mass of llauies. Two lives
were lost in tho building.
The lack of sufficient hose nnd tl
failure ot the big new engine to work
properly kept the lire deiirtment froii
saving property and dynamite was used
at several points to stop tho progress of
the lire.
The arrival of the department of
Monlesano and HiKiuiain and a large
corps of volunteer from each place
helped materially in gelling mo lire
under control. The fortunate clrcutn
stance ( the lire i that no mill prop
ertv was burned nnd no one Is thrown
out ol employment, except store clerks
and this will be but temporarily.
While the tire will lie severely lelt
bv all business men it is looked iiihiii
in ono sense as lieing auspicious for
the future of tho city as tho council
will establish a fire district and permit
only the erection of brick and stone
buildings.
