“ X m us, say that if I were secretary
of the navy in the present condition, I
should not dare to go- on and commit
the government to the building of an­
other immense battleship costing $8,-
000,000. The lessons of war between
Russia and Japan thus far go to show
the vulnerability and the unsafety of
these immense and lofty battleships and
the undesirability at present of com ­
mitting ourselves to the further con­
struction of them. The great and sal­
ient evils of war show how incomplete
as an engine of war ia one of these
enormous high turreted battleships.
If she is struck below the water line
and the center of gravaity is disturbed
she turns over like a turtle and every­
body on board is drowned. ,,
“ If an explosion takes place through
hurried firing in a turret, it is more
than likely to ignite the magazine and
the whole ship is blown into the air
and everybody on board is killed.
Aside from the disasters in the East,
where the large Rusisaan battleships
have been disabled and put out of busi­
ness, we have had three explosions on
our own battleships within a year.”
Stewart expressed the opinion that
the battleship will soon be a thing of
the past and that submarine craft will
take their place.
Continuing. Hale said he t'.ought
congress should legislate on the char­
acter of battleships for the navy, and
not leave it to the department.
Allison said the discretion given to
the president to defer action for a year
was a wise one, because of the fact that
a test of battleships was going on in t
pretty lively way in tbe Far East.

OAMB OF STRATBOY.
Kouropatkin Baa Large Force Thrown
Across Upper Yalu.
8t. Petersburg, April 27.— General
Kouropatkin has played a strong card
in the game of strategy. A large por
tion of General Rennenkampff’ s Cos­
sack cavalry division has been thrown
across the upper reaches of the Yalu,
and a considerable force of cavalry,
which crossed the Tumen some time
ago, is moving down to the southwest
to effect a juncture with it.
Together
with this force, which, it is believed,
totals 20,000 men, be w ill threaten
Lieutenant General Inouye’ s left flank
when tbe Japanese are ready to cross
lower down on the Yalu.
Being composed of cavalry with a
few mountain guns, Rennenkampff’ s
force is extremely mobile. Unless it
should be dislodged, it will compel the
Japanese to leave a strong army to
gpard the communications, whereas, if
a Japanese force should be sent todrive
it out, it would have to move directly
away from the main army while the
Russian army, if compelled to fall hack,
can recross in the direction of the Rus­
sian troops concentrating in Manchuria
KUROPATKIN TO BE CHIEF.
He la Destined to Command Forces on
Sea as W ell as on Land.
8t. Petersburg, April 27.— General
Kouropatkin, it is believed in the
highest military circles here, is des­
tined to become commander of all the
emperor’s forces, both military and
naval in the Far East.
Admiral Alexieff may remain there
for some little time as viceroy, but his
reign is considered practically ended.
He will not be humiliated, but in order
to effect harmonious relations a way
w ill Ire found to secure his elimination.
W hile Alexieff and Kouropatkin are on
fairly good terms, harmonious relations
between Vice Adimral 8krydloff and
the viceroy are considered impossible
and with the three enjoying indepen­
dent commands it is realized that fric­
tion nltimately will be bound to arise
which might endanger successful opera­
tions. Skrydloff and Kouropatkin, on
the contrary, are warm personal friends.

Cormick has been negotiating, haa been

spies in France, well provided with

They shadow Russians and
watch the shipyards. Especially do
they endeavor to ascertain the exact
date of the departure of the Baltic fleet
and the points en route at which it will
coal.
The Novosti states that the Russians
should feel gratified at the strategical
achievement of the naval squadron,
which imposed caution upon the Jap­
anese operations and gave Russia time
ts throw a prepondering military force
into Manchuria. The most favorable
time, the Novosti continues, for Japan­
ese military operations lias passed.
A letter written by Colonel Apageff,
an officer of marines on the Petropavlo-
vsk, who was drowned, describes the
routine upon the battleship. We rise,
he wrote, at 6 o ’clock, learn the news
of the night and drink tea. At 8
o ’clock we attend colors and then read
the papers in hope of obtaining infor­
mation of the intentions of the enemy
Afterwards we go to a meeting at head­
quarters and discuss questions of de­
fense. Lunch comes at 1 o ’ clock. Af­
terwards we visit the city or transact
our own affairs. Dinner at 6 o ’clock,
when rumors of all kinds circulate.
If reports of the appearance of the
enemy are persistent, the letter states,
the torpedo boats are sent out, and
upon these craft falls the bar Jest ser­
vice of the war. When Grand Duke
Cyril arrived at Port Arthur, he was
given command of a torpedo boat.
The ships in the harbor, it is stated,
were connected with the others and
with the shore by telephone.
NOT TO WATER IT.
Nation Finds Crook County Field Taken
by Private Concerns.
Washington, April 26.— The sec re
tary of the interior has received a pe­
tition from 300 members of the Farm
era’ co-operative irrigation association
of Oregon asking that a thorough inves­
tigation be made by the reclamation
service to determine the irrigation pos­
sibilities of Crook county.
The pe
tition has the indorsement of Senator
Mitchell.
It happens that representatives of
tbe reclamation service hare made ex­
tensile investigations in Crook county,
and reached tbe conclusion that there
is no present opportunity for the gov­
ernment to enter this field. There are
several attractive irrigation projects
along the Deschutes river, but all of
these are now covered by segregations
made by the state of Oregon under the
Carey act, and the government does not
desire to interfere with the plans of
private companies.
The only other water available for
irrigation in Crook county is tLe
Crooked river, and the summer flow
of this stream is now fnlly utilized.
As it would be very expensive to divert
water of the Deschutes across the
Crook river valley onto the distant
arable lands, the government has de­
cided it can do nothing in Crook county
unless private enterprises under the
Carey act are abandoned.
OREGON NEWS OF INTEREST'
OREGON CREAM STANDS
SCHOOL MONEY LBNT.
Four Million Dollars Are Now Drawing Condensed Product Adapted ts
and Alaskan Use.
Interest st 6 Per Cent.
Salem—The state of Oregon now has
$4 000,000 of school funds drawing in­
terest at an average of 6 per cent. This
is the largest sum the state ever hai
drawing interest and it represents the
limit of the irreducible school fund, for
a number of years hence, at least, lh e
revenue from this fund will be about
$240,000 per vear, and from this tne
expenses of running the state land de-
partmnet must be paid, amounting to
less than $10,000 per year, leaving
about $230,000 to be distributed an­
nually among the counties of the state
upon the basis of school population.
The apportionment this year will be
reduced somewhat by reason of repay­
ments of interest received from pur­
chasers of land where the title tailed.
Of this total of $4,000,000, about
$3,500,000 is in the form of loans and
$500,000 is in the form of deferred
payments on sales of school land. Of
the loans, $3,250,000 is out on real es­
tate mortgage securities paying 6 per
cent interest. The other $250,000 is
invested in school district bonds bear­
ing 5 per cent interest. The $500,000
due on sales of land is drawing intereet
at 6 and 7 per cent. An average rate
of interest on the whole $4,000,000, is
6 per cent.
Less than a year ago the state treas­
ury contained $725,000 of idle money
in the school fund.
There was then
little prospect that this money would
soon be put out at interest, but several
circumstances have combined to create
a demand for the school funds.
It will be the policy of the board to
favor small borrowers, as the money
will benefit more people in this way.
In all the loans that have been made
the board has been careful to accept

Pott ml Department Is Expected to Au­

Washington, April 26.— At the sug­
gestion of Senator Mitchell, the post-
office department has taken up the mat­
ter of preparing a special issue of post­
age stamps tc commemorate tiie Lewis
and Clark centennial. The department
can issue such stamps without special
authority of congress, and in view of
the department’ s attitude on the ic-
casion of other expositions, it is expect­
ed that the postmaster general will
soon authorize a special Lewis and
Clark issue.
Senator Mitchell has also requested
the department to supply the Portland
postoffice with a special cancelling
stamp hearing some such words as
“ I.ewis and Clark Centennial Exposi­
tion, 1905, Portland, Oregon,” or
“ W orld’s Fair, Portland, Oregon,
1905.”
This suggestion has been ta’. ’ i under
advisement. Senator Mitchell belle,
the stamp issue and the special cancel­
lation stamps w ill be an excellent
means of advertising the exposition.

SALMON QRBW VERY SLOWLY.
Experiment With Small Fry In the Big
Astoria Reservoir.
Astoria — During September, 1902,
Fish Warden Van Dusen secured
number of small salmon that had been
kept in fresh water for several months
and placed them in the Astoria reser­
voir.
Recently the reservoir was
emptied for the purpose of cleaning it
and the fish were taken out by Deputy
Webster. The largest of the fish was
only abcut 15 inches in length, show­
ing conclusively that the salmon need
salt water to develop them.
The effect of this experiment will be
to overthrow the theory that the salmon
fry should be kept in fresh watei as
long as possible before being turned out.
