Japanese Send Warahlp.
Pokln, April i'B. Itunsla ha de
maudixl that Ohlna sign an agreement
practically ceding to her fowolgnlty
of Manchuria and nxcludlng other na
tlon from that country. Tho Itussian
chargo d'nffaircs, M. Planchon, ha In
formed Prince Ohlng, president of tho
foreign allien, that no further step In
tho evacuation of Manchuria will bo
taken until thin agroomont Is signed.
Prlnco Chlng lefuwd tha Kuenlnn
term, but his rofiiKal probably pleases
Itiiaula a well a his acceptance would
havo thiiio, bccaui-n oltlior alternative
mean tho relinquishment of CM now

Pint No mora atanchurian port or

enth Russia Is entitled to atUch tho
telegraph wire and jtolesof nllChlnonj
Hue In Manchuria, and, F.lghth no
territory in Manchuria is to bo allonat
ed to any other power.
No explanation has Imon given to thu
Chlucrtt of tho Russian Interpretation
of thu fourth demand. Chlnems offi
cial are greatly dlturled, butthoy are
poworlot. Wliiio tho foregoing do

Idoration, M. Planchon asrured iil
rollenguo explicitly that tho only reas

ment of Mil Chwaug to thn Chinese
wan tho organisation of a sanitary com
mission. Tl.ero lias been much feeling in llrlt

Russian onmnilsuloner in Nlti Chwang,
but this revelation of ltussta'H iloterm
Insllon to retain control of Manchuria
and clone tlm door there robs this ap

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
MARION COUNTV CROPS.
Warm Rain Needed, Otherwise the Out
look la Very Favorable.
, Crops in Marlon county are In good
condition as a genera) thing, and there
i nothing yet to ditcourago the farmer.
It would to better for every thing, how
over, should thero bo a heavy, warm
rain, which would havo a two-fold ben
eficial effect It would etipplv the ne
cessary moisture now demanded in
many place, and it would bring tho
snow out of tlio Cascades, thus insur
ing warm spring weather, which it is
proverbial cannot 1m had until Tablo
Rock and the lower ridges of the moun
tains nro bare of their white tost.
Fruit I coming on in good shape, the
load of bloiwms indicating a plentiful
crop, but it Is too early to feel safo yot.
Thu weathor most dangerous to fruit in
this country la that which brings the
cold, beating, sleety rains late in April,
when the pollen Is in the blossom, to
bo washed rut by thoie rains, leaving
thu blossom lifeless for frultmaklng
purposes. Thore is always a good crop
of fruit when that clan of rains comes
before the blossoming I far nd van rod
or when tho warm spring arrives with
out much rain at all.
Thu hop crop is at that point where
thero I merely speculation a to the ro
suits. As usual, much is heard of mis
sine hills, damaged vines, and a heavy
shorlago In prospect for this year, but
past experience lis shown that In many
rears when similar predictions were
mado, the yield turnod out reasonably
good.
Sheep Shearing In Umatilla.
Twenty sheep shmrers hao , arrived
In Umatilla county from different parts
of tho country, nd will comrnoco work
at once. This number will bo consid
erably Increased within a week or ten
days, a three crew are employed in
tho section around Pilot Hock during
the shearing season, which lasts about
00 days. Usually there aro about 12
men to a crew. These men are paid 7
and H- cents a head for shearing stock
sheep nnd 15 a id 25 cents forpuro-brod
owes and buck. Home of the men
average 110 per day. Sheep will not
bo sent to the mountains as early this
year a last, as thero is no scarcity of
feed,
Ilulldlng at Reform School.
Plan are noaily completu for tho
now industrial schcot building which ia
to bo erected at the state reform school
at a cost of from $12,000 to $15,000.
The plans will bo submitted to the
board of trustee by Architect O. O.
UiwIm, of Portland, tho first of next
week, and tho board will immediately
advertiso for bids.
Snow Deep In Cascade.
It. N. Hoover, tho well-known shin
gle manufacturer of Detroit, says that
snow in the Cascado mountains la deep
er now than It ha been beforo nt this
season in tho pair-eight yoars. Bhonld
the weather turn warm suddenly so as
to mvlt the snow rapidly, he believes
the Willamette river will be high this
)oar.
Denied a Fr-inchlse.
Tlio Ilakot City council has refused
to grant a franchise to the Oregon Ida
ho Central railroad company for a
right ot way and terminal facilities to
ontor that city. This ia tlio proposed
Bovon Devils road, a company for the
construction of which was orgaulzod
last fall.
At the Psnltentiary,
Superintendent O. W. James, of tho
Oregon State Penitentiary, has tiled his
tlrst roport with tho Secretary ot Statu,
for tho quarter ending March 31, 1003.
Tho earnings nnd receipts ot tho prison
lor tno quarter aggregates a total ot
$4,435.11, and tho expenses $7,003,32.
Crook County Judge Resign.
County Judgo W. A. Booth, ot
Crook county, has tendered hia resig
nation to Uovornor (Jliamoorlatn. Tho
resignation is to take effect May 1.
Judgo Booth gave no reason for his do
Biro to relinquish tho office.
No Hop Peata In Polk.
Examination has boon mado ot Hum
orous yards in Polk county and they all
show n healthy growth, with no posts
on tho vines. Tho cold weather has
not put yards back in that county.
FLOCK TO LAKO COUNTV.
Large Number of Men Waiting for Snow
to Melt In Order to Locate.
Timber men contlnuo to arrive at
Lakevlow by overy stagoandfiom evory
direction, nnd tho Lakovlow land office
is working to its lull capacity. Several
locators with scrip are waiting for tho
snow to disappear, so thoy can get Into
the timber.
Sliver Lake promises to be the tlm
bor cruiser' headquarter this year,
arid with it two newspaper is expected
to wieid considerable influence In the
affairs of Lake county in the fnture.
The extension of the railroad from
8hanlkoto Deschutes promises to divert
all the trade north of Uoosn Lake Val
ley from Fan Francisco to Portland,
and give passengers a shorter and
better route via stago to tho railroad,
as there is a good road at nil soasons
of tho year from Lakovlow to the Des
chutes, and no mountains to cross.
The season Is very backward. No
gras ha yet started and sheepmen aro
anxious, a tho lambing ooason Is at
hand, and thore is no grass, and nights
am very cold. Heavy losses have boon
sustained in the last two weeks, and if
tlio weather doe not got warmer in n
few days, tho losses will be heavier
than ever beforo.
A few sheepmen have cominonccd
shearing wether, but many fear to at
tempt it yet, although it is far past the
usual time to begin.
Hanging of Armstrong.
An examination of the law governing
the execution of death sentences, which
was pased by thn last legislature, re
veals the fact that Armstrong, the mur
derer of Minnie Knsmlnger, at IUker
City, will have to bo executed lu that
city, if the supremo court conOtms tho
judgment of tho lower court, when the
caso comes up on appeal in May. If
the sentence of the court is carried out
it will bo the first legal execution in
the history of Baker county, since it
was organized, over 40 years ago. In
tlio early days thero was a lynching at
Auburn, then tho county ecat, on
which occasion a Chinaman was hung
for murder.
Some Prison Improvement.
Fuperintendent James, of tho ilata
penitentiary, Is making a number of
improvements intended to lietter the
condition of the prison and niako it
moru secure. Probably no changes will
bo mado in the construction of tho pris
on wall, but it will bo more thoroughly
guarded so as to prevent the Introduc
tion of woapons by that means. The
number of dy guards on tho wall has
recently been reduced by tho transfer
of cno guard to the shops.
