Russia's firat experiment in parliamentary gov ernment ram to an Ignominious end Satarday night with the promulgation of two imperial ukases, the firt di solving the present parliament and pro viding for the convocation of its sue cesser on March 5, 1"07, more than six months hence, and the second pro claiming the capital of Russia and the surrounding province to be in a state ot extraordinary security, which is only infiniteeeimally different from full mar tial law. This measure ot safety is to provide for the outburst which un doubtedly will be provoked by this daring measure. It it now but a step to dictatorship. There it little doubt that the order for the convocation of the new assem bly will still further postpone the time, unless the new parliament promises to be more amenable than the present. The delay in fixing the time for the new elections seems to indicate a de cision to change tne present basis oi suffrage to perhaps a basis of universal suffrage with which the advisers of the emperor hope to wamp the educated liberals, the Socialists and tb work men with tb vast mas of peasantry. The only uncertainty is the coming storm- when and where it will break. The advocate of the "mailed fist" be lieve that, by dissolving parliament and provoking a collision now, they will find the revolutionary leader not prepared for an uprising at Moscow, whereat further delay would nearly give the revolutionist the time needed to organire and to continue the corrup tion of the army. Tbera are no precedent in Russian history for the execution of an order of prorogation, but today probably will find the palace in possession of tbe mi litia and the surrounding streets deliv ered to the emperor's guards. WILL USE BOMB. Terrorists Mark Victims for Death Trepoff it Warned. St. Petersburg, Juy 23. Although the victory of the reactionists seems at present to be complete, neither the S cialists nor the Terrorists have accepted tbe situation, and, while tbe people are apparently completely overawed by tbe display of force on tbe part of tbe an thorities, it will be necessary to con tinue tbe use of the bayonet for some time. General Trepoff himself is an thority for tb statement that he ha again been warned that be is marked for assassination. Despite this fact, h continue actively at work, although at all time surrounded by a heavy guard. The Socialist members o! tbe douma have held a number of secret meetings, but so far tbey have refrained from carrying out their avowed determina tion of issuing a proclamation attacking tbe czar, tbe reactionary element and more especially their former allies, the Constitutional Democrats. If they do so, trouble must come. ENTER LAND AT SHOSHONfc. Boomers' Scene of Operations Trans ferred From Lander. Washington, July 23. In acordance with a supplemental proclamation is sued by the president, tue register and receiver of the land office for Lancer, Wyo., district, shall receive entries for lands in tbe ceded portion of tbe Sho shone reservation at Shoshone, Wyo., from AuguBt 15 to October 6, 1906, in stead of at Lander, at provided in the proclamation of June 2.

All persons who draw numbers at tbe drawing, which begins at Lander, Wyo., on August 4, 1906, which num bers entitle them to make entry be tween the dates of Auguts 15 and Oc tober 3, inclusive, must proceed to Sho shone, Wyo., and make their entries instead of going to Lander, as provided in the first proclamation.

Classical, icien tific, literary, normal, business and musical course will be taught, and the institution plans to give degrees as high as master of arts. 11 1 11 - Demand for Labor in Linn County. Albany There is no excuse for a la boring man to complain for lack of work in Oregon this year. In Linn county there is a demand for laborers of every sort, and especially those wno will do farm work during the i arrest ing season, and who are willing to work around a sawmill, or in the woods. Farmers in Linn county are looking in vain for needed assistance to garner their crop1, and tbe lumbering mills along the rivers of Linn, Marion and Lane counties are advertising for help all the time. Many college students are spending their vacation weeki at the sawmills. Labor Famine in Valley. -Salem At an illustration of bow great is the demand for manual and team labor in tbe Willamette va ley, tbe Willamette Valley Traction com pany, in commencing work upon the Portland Salem electric line, was un able to secure men and teams, and employed a steam traction engine to do tbe ground breaking.

Watco Farmers Begin Harvest. The Dalles Haying is well advanced throughout Wasco county, the bulk of the grain hay now being in the stack and the second cutting of alfalfa has begun. More bay has been cut in tbe county this year than for many years previous. This waa owing to so much of tbe grain having been injured by heat, makiDg it unfit to thresh. Next week cutting of grain will begin in sec tions where fall grain is raised, and in moet sections barley will be ready to cut by the last of the week. Farmers estimate that about half a crop will be harvested. The fall wheat will be No. 1, bufrmst of the spring wheat will be inferior. Hot Weather Hurriet Harvest. Eugene The condition of tbe crops in the Upper Willamette valley, espec ially around Eugene, during the raat week have been excellent, and all the farmers are happy. The haying season is about half over and tbe crop to he harvested will be one of the largest for years. The warm wave wnicn nas ex tended over the valley has been some what detrimental to the wheat crop, which, according to the farmers, has advanced too far. Harvest hands are reported scarce, even with the good wages offered. Construction Slow. The Dalles W. F. Nelnon, president of the Oregon Trunk road, says con duction work is progressing slowly be cause of the scarcity of laborers. Mr. Nelson expects to secure plenty of la borers after harvest. It is the purpose of the company to push the road on to Madras, a distance of 110 miles from the Columbia, as soon an it can be built, and then to build through Cen tral Oregon and make connection with some southern road. Exhibits for Jamettown Fair. Salem Jefferson Myers, president of tbe Lewis and Ulark lair commission, and on of the commissioners to the Jamestown exposition, was in Salem recently closing up the affairs of hit commission and also consulting with officer of the etate fair board relative to the collection of exhibit! for the Or- ..... - . 1 1 egon exhibit at Jamestown, uoionei Myers sayt that all exhibitors at the etate fair will be asked to preserve as nrticb of their products as possime anu the commission will purchase euch as It meritorious for exhibit at Jamet town. FOOD LAW QUESTIONED. Legal Interpretation of Two Words Mean Much to Ms Friends. Salem I'pon the legal interprela lion of the words "adulterants" and "adulteration" hangs the fate of Ore gon's pure food law when it comes np for desision liefnre Judge (irorge II tfurnett, of the Circuit court, for this county in the caps of the state vs George Fendorick, who is charged wit! selling the state lard that has been adulterated with tallow. Fondorick, who is a meat dealer in this city, is under contract to furnish the state insane asylum with a quantity ot lard, and it is charged by the mate dairy and food commissioner that the lard furnished contains a certain per centage of tallow. The point at issue Is whether an adulterant in foods means the substitu tion of a substance which is injurious to th human system for a pure article and if the court holds that tallow Is not an adulterant it will throw the whole art open to Uchnical violation in al lines of trade in foodstuffs. Big Real Estate Deaat Eugene. Eugene One ot the largest real ea tate dealt ever made in I-ne county was consummated recently when Eli Bangs, Eugene's pioneer liveryman, told a quarter block of ground at the corner of West Ninth and Olive ttreete to G. M. Bonnett, a farmer of this city, for $35,000. A two story brick build ing and a large frame livery stable building are on tbe ground, and they are included in the sale.

Armstrong has called upon all retail grocery men and secured from them an agreement not to buy from fanners any fruit infected with San Jose scale. The dealers were willing to make the agree ment and will keep it in letter and spirit. If the retail merchants prevent the sale of diseased fruit to them, the inspector can give his entire time to watching tbe far-ners who peddle fruit about town direct to the consumers. Hot Wave Spoilt Prospectt. Moro The he-t wave that has pre vailed in thia section for the patt two weeks has materially shortened the very flattering prospect for a big wheat crop. Report from farmers are con dieting, bnt there can be no doubt but that all grain ia more or lest shriveled and there will be not over half an aver age crop. Many are already cutting their wheat for hy, but at the present price for hay that will bring very satis factory returns. Treaturer-Elect Filet Bond. Salem State Treasurer-elect George A. Steel has filed his official bond in the sum of $50,000, which was approv ed by the governor. Later he will be rqeuired to furnish an additional bond in the sum of about $500 000, the amount to be determined by the gov ernor. PORTLAND MARKETS.

Car Will Us Army to Enforce Hit Will in Russia. St. Petersburg, July 1. If report in circulation In official circles this morning are grounded on fact, the su preme crisis In the affairs of the Rus sian nation is impending, and within a fortnight at most event must transpite that will result either In th.t perpetu ation of absolutism in Russia or the map of Europe will be changed. According to reports, the rr.nr, after weeks of twinging from one extreme to the other, decides that he rannot grant the reforms demanded hy the people, and has decided that th arbitrament of physical force shall le appealed to. He has, through (ienerals Trepoff, Kaulhars and other leadeis of the oil) clal military class, canvassed the olli cers of the army, and has decided that they can be depended on, if it should come to a clash with the people, and ao he has decided that from now ou the wishes of the riar and his wishes alone shall le considered. This means, should the rumors I true, that the donma will soon be dis solved and that the new cabinet will represent more than ever the wishes of the governing classes and disregard the demands .f the people already made through the donma. None ot the members of the cabinet who could be reached last night would discuss the matter. However, the de lay in announcing that the various de manda of th douma are even being considered, th concentration of tried troop at all centers where advocates of a constitutional form of government are strongest, and the generally defiant at titude of the bureaucracy, all tend to lend credence to the report. Disturbance in all interior Russia continue, and riot, murder and rapine are the rule. In many camps pitched battles between soldiers and malcon tents are reported, hut all details are completely censored and are not per mitted to become public. CLIMAX OF ADMINISTRATION. Roosevelt Will Invoke Conspiracy Law and Dissolve Standard Oil. Washington, July 18. Dissolution of the great Standard Oil trust may 1m the result of the prosecutions socn to be begun against that corporation by the government. Assistant Attorney General Purdy, who has direct charge of the preparation of the prospective casee, returned to Washington today from St. Paul, where for two weeks he has been in consultation with Special Counsel Kellogg, of the latter city, and District Attorney Morrison, of Chicago, and, while he refuses to discuss details a to the plans under way, there is good authority for the statement that the administration is aiming at a more vital object than fines or even impris onment for the trust offenders. The cases against Standard Oil will be ma le under the conspiracy act. It is of recent memory that conspiracy in restraint of trade in violation of the provisions of the Sherman anti-trust law resulted in the dissolution of the Northern . Securities company. More recently the government won another sweeping victory in the courts ami dis solved the Western paper trust. The same sort of success met the movement against the elevator trust in California The breaking np of the monster Mandaiil Oil combination may come as the culminating grand climax of the Roosevelt administration, and in the light of today's developments persons in Wahington have recalled to them with striking force these words spoken by President Roosevelt shortly before the adjournment of congress: "The prosecution of the Standard Oil company is the most imjortant thing in this administration. Bartlett Wat Short $33,000. Waehington, July 18. It was stated at the Treasury department todav that an investigation recently concluded of the affairs of the late Major George A Bartlett, disbursing officer of the Treat ury department, snows a shortage ap proximating $33,000.

BONDS SELL WELL 530,000,000 lor Panama Canal More Than Subscribed. ALL BIDS ARE AT GOOD PREMIUM Average Premium of Nearly 4 lrr Cent Is Offered--Interest at 2 Per Cent. Washington, July 21. HMa were, opened at the Trensiiry department la'c yesterday for the $30,000, 000 lO-IU. Panama Canal bonds, bearing 2 per rent interest, under Secretary Hhaw'a circular ol July 2 an I, although no awards will be made until today or later, it Is evident that the entire issii. ha hern s'ibs Irbed tor at an averagn ,f from 10.I H4 to lo.'l iM. Mr. Hhaw and other officials of the Treasury de partment a pressed themselves aa high ly pleased and entirely satisfied with the figures ohtalned. The total number and amount of bids made will not be ascertain .1 until today, out it ia apparent that the whole, issue has been subscribed for several times over. The largest and beat tin gle offer was that of Hk A Robinson, of New York, who mad ad bids of $5,000,000, each at an average of 103 85. Smaller bids at higher prices, however, will probably reduce the amount which will likely awarded to .hem to about $15,000,000. Due bid of 106 for the whole Issue came from a man named Lindsay at New Orleans, but on account of condition named and for other leaaons the bid was not considered. Several telegraph ic bid were received too late to tm con sidered, but the price named were too small to he successful. The secretary having Stated that the bond would be numbered serially be ginning w ith the highest bid, one offer was tun le at 125 tor 11.000, thus s. cur ing to the bidder !ond No 1.

LOSS LOOMING BIG. San Francisco Insurance May Reach) Total of 300.000.000. San Francisco, Cal., July 21. It now looks as if the insurance risks In the burned district of San Francisco will foot up considerably more than $250,000,000, and the total may go up to nearly $300,000, COO. The esti mates ol insurance manager have been crawling upward alt the time, and the figures given In reports tiled by the companies with the New York Insur ance department indicate that even the highest estimate which they have mad is too low. Several weeks after the conflagration a detailed estimate of the amount of acli company's risks flied the total insurance in the hurried district at $,.'.r)2, 363. 000. Thirty. three companies which have made sworn returns t the New York Insurance department, ad mit a liability of $102, )!'., 000. The estimate of their liability whs $'.MI,0ll.'i.. 000. Takiiig the same percentage of differences for all the 1 OH compsnies which were included in the list, the. total of their liahilitha would he placed at $26i,271.0UO. An addition must h made for Lloyds, for the "uiidrgrround" con cerns, and for the comi anies which hail some risks here but were not named with the 108. This addition mav li estimated at $10,000 000, which brings the totaU up to ahout $280,000 000. From this calculation the Herman. of Freeport, and the ( ierman National are omitted, as their returns to the New lork Insurance department have a pe culiar look. On the basis of th r. turns of the thirty-three companies above referred to, the German, ol Free- port, ami the (ierman National, would he involved to the eatent of $6,213,000 in the disaster, but they admit a loss of only $2,817,000. Reciprocity Treaty With Spain. Madrid, July 21. American Minis- ter Collier has left Madrid for San Se bastian, where today he will sign with Foreign Minister Ctullon the new com mercial treaty between the United Slatei and Spain.
