Japan Would Bind Russia to a Strict
Observance of Treaty.
Tokio, June 12. On the ability of
Russia to offer a sufficient guarantee
that she will live up to any treaty of
peace arranged hinges Japan s willing
ness to bring the war to an end. This
statement is made on the authority of
one of the best known Japanese states
men, on condition that his identity be
kept unknown.
"Japan wants peace," he said, "but
she will not be made a fool of by Rus
sia. That nation must agree to keep
her hands off the Far East for a long
term of years, and her treaty must con
tain some clauses which effectively pre
clude her resuming hostilities when
her army and navy are rehabilittated,
and such clauses must be of such char
acter that thev cannot liehtlv be dis
regarded. Even at the present time,
when her navy has been entirely
wiped off the face of the waters and her
army has been disrupted and placed on
the defensive at all points, we hear

4 rangements If Wanted by the
Warring Nation.
Washington, June 10. An identical
note, the text of which, by authority of "d the declared policy of the depart-
the president, was made public late to
night at the White house by Secretary
t ti t . I.. ..
iH', uas neon iorwaniea 10 i lie gov
ernments of Russia and Japan by Presi
dent Roosevelt. In the interest of hu
manity, the president urges the warring
nations to conclude peace. It is sug
gosted by the president that the nego
tuitions lot peace he conducted "direct
ly and exclusively" between the bellig
erent nations. The note Indicates the
president's belief that an intermediary
may not be necessary to effect conclu
sive negatiations, but likewise expresses
the president's wilingnesa to do all that
he properly may do to promote the
preliminary arrangements for a time
and place for the meeting of represent
atives of the Russian and Japanese gov
eruments. A formal reply to the note
may not be received for several days,
but, as already made clear, informal
assurances that it would be , welcomed
are already at hand. In view of the
significant character of the document
and of the attitude toward it which
both Russia and Japan have assumed,
it is regarded in official and diplomttic
circles as the first firm and decisive
step toward ultimate peace. At a late
hour tonight Mr. Tapkahira, Japanese
"minister, had not been advised from
Tokio of the delivery of the president's
message to the eniperor, but he was ex
pecting a cable dispatch to that effect
at any moment. The minister was able
yesterday to transmit to the president
message from the mikado that Japan
was, with Russia, desirous of peace, pro
vided it could be obtained under proper
conditions.
Aware of the preference of Japan to
communicate her peace terms to Rub
sia directly, the president in the last
few days has been active in counseling
moderation to Japan rather than in
ndeavoring to draw from Tokio some
statement of probable terms.
At the Russian embassy tonight
Count Cassini remained without advices

EIGHT-HOUR LAW ON CANAL.
SWEDISH ANGER RISING.
Norway Accused of Ignoring Rights of
Sweden by Her Action.
Stockholm, June 12. It is impossi
ble to forecast Swedish policy in rela
tion to the Norwegian rebellion but
signs are lacking of any willing acqui
escence Herein. me King, crown
prince and many others, official and
unofficial, are disposed to regard the
acts of Christiania as those of a rebel
lious cotiere of politicians which can
not be considered as necessarily repre
senting the will of the Norwegian peo
pie. However, it is difficult to see
how an official protest can be made,
since nothing short of a successful war
is likely to restore the situation. In
all, responsible men hesitate to com
mand such a course. That this hesita
tion will survive the heat of a parlia
mentary session may bo slightly doubt-

Butte County Canal Open.
Gridley, Cal., June 12. With the
opening of the headgates and the turn
ing on of the water into the Butte
county canal today, what is probably
the most important irrigation enter
prise in Northern California is now in
working order. There were no hitches
or accidents, the river pourirg its water
into the canal as the gates were raised.
The canal is 14 miles long, 30 feet wide
on the bottom and carries 25,000 inches
of water, equivalent to 500 cubic feet,
a second, and will irrigate 80,000 acres
of fine land.
Great Drydock Launched.
Baltimore, June 12. The govern
ment drydock recently built by the
Maryland Steel company at Sparrow's
Point, which will be towed to Manila,
was successfully floated today. Miss
Endicott, daughter of Rear Admiral
Endicott, christened the new vessel
"Dewey." The Dewey is the largest
floating dock in the world. It will lift
25,400 tons and cost $1,125,000. Its
construction required 500 men con
tent ly at work.
Moody Holds It Applies to Laborers ton
and Mechanics.
Washington, June 10. The opinion
of Attorney General Moodj regarding
the application of the eight-hour law
on the Isthmus of Panama was made
public today. He holds that the act of
August 1, 1892, which limits and re
stricts to eight
ment of Agriculture, is that the timber
on the reserves may now be cut and
disposed of to the highest, bidder. On
many ot the reserves there are great
inutilities of mature timber, and on
some of them the facilities for irettimr
it out at a reasonable cost are excellent.
The forest service, which has charge of
the administration of the reserves, is
anxious to begin the cutting of this
mature timber as soon as possible, and
it is prepared to consider offers from
lumbermen who wish to undertake
such operations.
It is perhaps well to call attention to
the fact that this announcement does
not mean that the forest reserves ate
going to be devastated under authority
of the government. On the contrary,
the distinct and definite purpose of the
forest service is to improve the re
serves by utilizing the material that
is now fit for lumlter. In doing so, it
will also provide for the reproduction
of the forest and the restocking of
those areas upon which forest condi
tions are defective. Work of this kind
has been successfully carried on for
some years in the Black Hills forest
reserve, and has leen begun with the
greatest promise of success on the lands
of the Chippewa Indians, in Northern
Minnesota, from. which it is propositi
to create another National reserve.
The public in general, and lumber
men in particular, will be interested
to know that in this last case the re
strictions imposed by the forester have
in no way hampered the lumlcriiig
operations. Timler sold at public
sale, with full knowledge of these re
strictions, brought higher (trices than
were obtained for white ami Norway
pine in the same region, and the slash
lias been burned and got out of the
way at a cost of about 12 cents per 1,-
000 feet board measurement.
The smtervisor of each forest reserve
is authorized to receive applications for
the right to cut timber; intending pur
chasers should communicate with him.

Salem - J. C. Stohr, of Chicago,
assistant traffic director of the Ilarrl
man lines, accompanied by Genera)
Freight Agent It. B. Miller, of the O
R. iV N.; General Passenger Agent W.
E. Coman, of the Southern Pad lie. and
II. K. Iiouushury, traveling freight
and passenger agent of the latter com
pany, were here last week to make In
quiries into the practicability of the
establishment of a linen mill here,
and held a conference with Eugene
Bosse, the tin x expert, ami Mrs. W. I
Lord, a tlax enthusiast, in the reception
. t in n . i
room oi me wiiianuue hotel. AS a
result of the conference Mr. Stohr states
that he Is convinced that a quality of
fibre that in i not be excelled any place
else in the world can be grown in this
vallev, and that everything from the
coarsest of tw ines and cordages, crash,
etc., 10 wie very nnesi linens and laces
can tte manufactured ftom it.
He is also assured by Mr. BoHse that
with the aid of a new ilax pulling ma
chine which is now in course of per fee
tion and completion the raw material
can le produced quite as cheap, if not
cheaper, than in the foreign countries,
and that the finished product could be
placed upon the market at such prices
that the foreign or eastern mills could
not compete with.
Mr. Stohr collected a great amount
of reliable data concerning the industry
while here, and will rarrv it back to
Chicago with him to make his rctort.
He would not state what particular
action the Harrimnn system promised
to take toward promoting the develop
ment of the industry, but he savs if
the project looks feasible to the man
agement it will exert its influence
toward interesting Eastern capital to
invest in the enterprise.

Conrad Krebs Declares Project
Big Combine Will Win.
Salem Although a week has not
passed since the Issuance of the circu
lar letter to the hopgrowers of the Pa-
el tic coast, New York and England, by
the firm of Krebs Brits., of this city,
proposing the organization of a gigantic,
liop pool or corporation, President Con
rad Krebs, ol the firm, says he has re
ceived replies from almost every hop
growing section of this state, and that
all spoke favorably of the proposition
and pledged their hearty supstrt. Ho
has already received promises aggre
gating 25,000 bales of the U'O.'i crop
hops.
Ho far letters have been received
from growers in the districts of Forest
Grove, WoimIIiuiii, I ayton, Corval lis,
Eugene, Amity, Oregon, and Cow lit.,
Washington, while verbal assurances of
support have been received from the
growers of the Independence, Pallas,
I'hampocg, St. Paul, Aurora, Brooks
districts and Washington and Yamhill
counties.
"I feel much encouraged over th
outlook," said Mr. Krebs, "and I
think there Is no question that the
move will win. The letters I have re
ceive 1 are from the principal growers
and represent the business element of
the industry, and when they reoognlxo
the feasibility and practicability of the
scheme it only remains for others to
fall into line and the thing is done.
We shall probably wait two weeks to
hear from all over the coast ami east
before any steps are taken to call a
meeting, but I now feel quite certain
that it will be called."

Berlin, June 10. Prince Leopold
von llohenzollern, cousin of hmneror
William, who came to Berlin to attend
the wedding of Crown Prince Frederick
William and Duchess Cecilia, died
suddenly tonight of appoplexy, aged 70
years. The prince will be remembered
in history as the candidate of the Span

as having been unwittingly the cause of
the Franco-Prussian war. He lived at

Indianapolis, Ind., June 10. Judge
James Leathers, of the Marion county

the present tendency to criticise the
great Baptist brotherhood in the person
of one of its most active members, and
this in the face of the fact that there is
no evidence to prove Mr. Rockefeller
is or ever lias been either directly or
indirectly connected with conduct that
is out of line with the highest molal
ity." This resolution caused a storm of
protests today at the convention of the
Northern Indiana Baptists' association.
It was voted down after vigorous com
ment, both in defense of it and in op
position to it.
The defense of John D. Rockefeller
was drawn by Rev. Mr. Wheeler, of
Elkhart, who introduced it and made a
speech in defense of it. Rev. Mr. Lan
kin, of Mishawaka, also defended it.
The protests were started by Rev. C.
It. Parker, of Laporte, who, among
other things, said :
"Rotten things should be dealt with
in the most rigid way."
State Employes Dislike Certificates of
Allowance.
Salem At a meeting held hist week
the state employes decided to levy an
assessment upon themselves to raise a
fund to defray the expense of hiring an
attorney to test the question whether It
IS the duty of the secretary of state to
issue salary warrants on the first of
each month. The assessment levied
was at the rate of 2 pet cent on the
monthly salary.
John A. Carson was employed to con
duct the mandamus proceedings, which
will probably he commenced this week,
after the monthly payroll has been pre
sen ted to the secretary of state and he
has refused to issue a warrant.
Secretary of State Dunbar takes the
position that it is his duty to proceed
under the general law and issue 'certifi
cates of allowance for the reason that
no appropriation is available.
The employes contend that under the
Kay law, passed by the last legislature,
it is the duty of the secretary of state
to issue warrants for salary claims,
even though there be no appropriation
available. The difference to the eni'
ployes is that if they receive certificates
of allowance they mutt discount them
at 10 per cent. A warrant would he
worth its face value.
Sumpter Valley Extension to Begin.
Sumpter A working crew has gone

the objective point of the road this
season, and that the company will be
satisfied with this much of an exten
sion for the present. The large force
of men being put to work leads to the
impression that if it is possible the
road will be extended further.

Stockholm, June '.). The Norwegian

the Opp mine is one of the most prom

on the coast.
Besides this extremely rich ore, they
are taking out large qiiautiti s of high
grade free milling ore, ami the width
and depth of the vein increases. The
first strike amounted to 20 sacks of ore
that was almost pure gold; the second
one consisted of five sacks of an esti
mated value of $ 1 ,500 ; the third one,
the ore of which is considered richer
than either of the other two, consisted
of 40 sacks, already taken out, and
there remains mi unknown ouantity of
