CASTRO'S LAS f OFFENSE.
Stops
Cable Message From Foreign
Ministers In Venezuela.
Paris, Nov. 4. Advices received by
the foreign office here say that tho
Venezuelan government suspended the
despatch of cablo messages to the
United States, France and Great Brit
ain for some time. Tne American and
British ministers at Caracas have pro
tested, but the French charge d 'a flairs
has not protected, owing to the Inter
ruption of diplomatic relations between
Franco and Venezuela, though the offi
cials hero understand that the Ameri
can minister voiced tho protest of
Franco. The suspension occurred yes
terday or the day before and lasted a
day. The ground for tho suspension
was that the Venezuelan government
had not received a reply to a cable
message sent to an agent abroad.
President Castro attributed the non
receipt of a reply to foreign influences,
henco tho suspension, which It is un
derstood covered official dispatches.
The authorities here say the incident
is an additional provocation, but that
this does not change their intention not
to adopt cot reive measures until no
chance remains of securing a pacific ad
justment. Britain Willing to Consider.
Londno, Nov. 4. The British gov
ernment has replied to the proposal of
Germany for the withdrawal of foreign
troops from the province of Chi Li,

is wilting to considerr with the other
powers concerned the best means of
withdrawing the troops gradually. Ne
gotiations to this end are now going on.
An official of the foreign office said to
day that the question was more serious
to Great Britain than to the other pow
ers, since Great Britain had greater In
terests In Chi Li.

PROCLAMATION BY PRESIDENT
Calls on Peoplo to Colebrato Thanks
giving In Tlmo Honored Way.
Washington, Nov. 3. Tho president
today issued his proclamation naming
Thursday! November 30, as n day for
Thauksglvirg. Tho proclamation fol
lows: By tho president of tho United States
of America, a proclamation:
When, nearly thrco centuries ago,
tho first settlers came to tho country
which has now become this great re
public, thoy faced not only hardship
and privation, but terrible risks to
their lives. In thoso grim yeats tho
custom grew of setting apart one day
in each year for n special service of
thanksgiving to tho Almighty for pre
serving tho peoplo through tho chang
ing seasons. Tho custom has now be
come national and hallowed by imme
morial usage.
Wo live in easier and more plentiful
times than our forefathers, tho men
who with rugged strength faced the
rugged days, and yet tho dangers to
national life aro quito as great now as
at any previous time in our history. It
is eminently fitting that once a year
our people should set apart a day for
praiso and thanksgiving to tho giver of
good, and, at the samo ttmo that they
express their thankfulness for tho
abundant mercies received, should
manfully acknowledge their shortcom
ings and pledge themselves solemnly
and in good faith to strivo to overcome
them. During tho past year wo havo
been blessed with bountiful crops. Our
business prosperity has been great. No
other people has ever stood on as high
n level of wcllbelng as ours now stands.
Wo are not threatened by foes from
without. The foea whom we should
pray to be delivered from are our pas
sions, appetites'and follies; and against
these thero is always need that wo
should warn.
Therefore I now set apart Thursday,
the 30th day of this November as a
day of Thanksgiving for the past and of
prayer for the future and on that day
I ask that throughout tho peoplo gather
in their homes and places of wotehlp
and, in rendering thanks unto the moat
high for the manifold blessings of the
past year, consecrate themselves to a
life of cleanliness, honnr and wisdom,
eo that this nation may do its allotted
work on earth in a manner worthy of
thoso who founded it and of those who
preserved it.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my band and caused the seal of tho
United States to bo allixed.
Done at tho rity of Washington, this
second day of November, in the year ol
our Lord one thousand nino hundred
and five, and of tho independence of
the United States tho ono hundred and
thirtieth.

"Tho secretary of the Interior, act
ing upon suggestions of the Kovetnor
and prominent citizens of Idaho, an
nounces tho postponement of sales of
lots in the new townsites of Hcyhurn
and Rupert, on the Minidoka project.
The dates of sale, Novemper 14 and 21,
respectively, havo been extensively ad
vertised, and indications were that a
large attendance would be present.
Owing to the lateness of the season,
the possibility of bad weather and tho
lack of accommodations for visitors, it
was deemed wise to postpone tho sale
until early next April. At that time
pleasant weather can be counted upon.
water will have been turned into the
new government canals, and more than
1,000 new settlers will have already es
tablished themselves on the land and
will be clearing off sagebrush and put
ting In crops.
"The Minidoka tract today offers ono
of the best object lessons in the West
of tho wisdom of the reclamation law,
and present conditions predicate that
one of the most prosperous and popu
lous agricultural communities in the
world will soon rise up from out of the
desert at this point in tho Snake river
volley."
Culebra Cut is Flooded.
Panama, Nov 3. Heavy rains last
week filled the Culebra cut with wator
to tho extent of stopping the work of
the steam shovels at the Cucaracha end
of the cut. To make up for tho time
lost during the rainy season, Chief En
gineer Stevens will follow the example
of the Frenchmen, who, in the dry eea-
son, employed a double force of men.
All freight trains of the Panama rail
road exiept one each way will hereafter
run at night, so as to givo the Canal
commission's train more time on the
main line during tho day.
Ito Will Rule Over Cores.
Tokio, Nov. 3. It is reported that
tho Marquis Ito will leave for Corea
on Novembers, as ambassador from
Japan. It is likely that the candidates
for the posts of Japanese ambassadors
at tho European courts and at Wash
ington will be accedited before long. It
is rumored that Russian commissioners
will establish a head office for tho
transportation of prisoners at Nagasaki.
Most of tho releasod men will be sent
to Vladivostok, the others to Odessa.
More Fraud In Philadelphia.

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
MAY BE DISSOLVED.
Flvo Thousand Oregon Incorporations
Are Dollnquont.
Salem Two months henco 6,000 Or
egon corporations will bo dissolved by
proclamation ot tho governor unless
they comply with tho terms of tho cor
poration license law beforo that tlmo
expires. Many of these concerns hold
real property or negotiable paper, and
all will loso their power ot transacting
business from tho dato of dissolution.
Moro than that, any person who shall
excrclso or attempt to cxerclso tho cor
porate powers after dissolution lias
teen proclaimed will bo liable to n lino
ot 1,000 and imprisonment for ono
year. Tho law is plain and compre
hensive in its terms, And will operate
to 'suspend tho powers of delinquent
corporations unless thoy comply witli
the requirements.
These 5,000 corporations referred to
aro concerns which havo not in any
manner compiled with tiie corporation
license tax law, Thero are 10,000 cor
porations listed on tho books of tho
secretary of stnto, and of these 3,000
havo complied with tho law. Some
havo already g no out ot existence, hut
thero remains on tho list a largo nuin
Ixir ot corporations which, though not
doing a very active business, hold
property rights which they must pro
tect. Becauso tho corporations havo
not Imk'ii doing an active businesd and
aro merely holding property, tho offi
cers of tho company havo neglected to

tion of tho governor, thoy will no long
er havo power to executo a deed, col

Defines Rights of Water Company.
Salem Attorney General Crawford,
In response to a request from Secretary
Brown, ot tho State Land board, holds
that the Deschutes Irrigation A Power
company lias no right to chargo interest
on lands sold to settlers previous to
the "dato ot reclamation," as fixed by
the Carey desert land act; that is, tho
dato of approval by tho secretary of the
interior of the work done by tho com
pany to reclaim the land. This ap
proval is to bo given when tho stato
engineer certifies that tho land has
been reclaimed, which, in this case,
has not been done, and will not be
done for eomo tlmo yet.
Alfalfa Lands Are Soaked.
Milton Now that the fruit and veg
etable crops havo been harvested thero
will be no further use for water for ir
rigating purposes on lands under culti
vation. Tho water is (lowing down tho
ditches to the Hudson bay district,
where it is used to good advantage on
the alfalfa lands for winter Irrigation,
which proves beneficial to tho early
crop. The water overllowea the land,
which Is thoroughly soaked, holding
tho moisture until the crop gets a good
start in tho spring. This system ot
winter irrigation is recognized by tho
alfalfa growers as an important featuro
in this business.
Qovernor Refused to Sign.
Salem For tho first timo in tho his
tory of Oregon, deeds to state lands
havo been issued without the signature
of the governor. Governor Chamber
lain refused to sign the deeds conveying
10,000 acres of state school lands to
various holders of certificates ot sale,
which certificates tho Marlon county
grand jury reported as having been
fraudulently obtained. Secretary of
Stato Dunbar and Stato Treasurer
Moore signed the deeds, and, in tho
opinlon-of Attorney General Crawford,
theso two signatu-ea will be sufficient
to convey title.
Hop Farmers Not Alarmed.
Wood burn Hopgrowera in this sec
tion are not despondent over tho reign
ing low prices, and believe that, it
they are financially able to hold on,
tho tono of the market will be. made
more encouraging in a few weeks.
Somo think an effort is being in ado to
corner hops, and that in timo there
will 19 quite a jump upward in prices,
Tho first sales hero this season havo
been made, JohnBnn Bros, having sold
to Toozo & Pace 30 bales at 8.j cents,
and Collinson Bors. 00 bales to Wil
liam Brown, of Salem, at 8 cents.
Apple-Growing Profits Small.
Milton W. II Wllmont, who owns
40 acres of land near Freewater, which
lias been partially set out to fruit, says
that apples aro becoming an unsatisfac
tory crop on account of the uncertainty
of crop, which is a failuro nearly every
alternate year; also because ot tho low
price and expense in getting ready for
the market. Ho thinks seriously of
piling out has apples trees and setting
Italian prunes, cherries and peaces in
their placo.
Sash and Door Factory.
Astoria Work haa been commenced
on tho construction of a new sash and
door factory for the Clatsop Mill coin
any. The building is to be 30x200 feet

RUSSIA'S FIRST DAY OF LIBERTY
People Already Divided Into Parties
and Blood Flows In Capital,
St. Peterntmrg, Nuv 1. All Russia
today enthusiastically lecelved tho em
peror's gift of freedom, which the
greater part of the peoplo reeulvinl with
deepest joy, thouith In St. Petersburg,
Moscow and other cities Socialists and
revolutionists organised anil-govern-munt
demonstrations and ted Hag pa
rades, which, with the patriotic maul
testations, led to a number ot conflicts
between "nils" ami "whites," as tho
aiitigovernmeut and royalist (action's
aro respectively termed. On tho whole,
tho day passed moro quietly In Russia
tlwM had been expected, though col
lisions between thn people ami the
troops are reported from Kazan, Klsh
uleff and Poltava, and two men were
killed.
hi each ot tho two capitals, St.
Petersburg and Moscow, tho day was
one such as tho Kusclaiis never belore
havo seen. Tho Blavlo people, who,
during the long war just closed, and
tho anxious period preceding tho an
nouncement ol the new era of constitu
tionalism, seemed soil-restrained and
apathetic, gave Itself up fully to the
exuberance ot the moment and spent
the entire day In parades and assem
blies, which, for the first tlmo In tho
history of Russia, were freely permit
ted. Under the order ot Count Witto
and General Trepoft, the troops gen
erally were withdrawn from the streets
of tho cities and the fullest teln given
the people la let out their enthusiasm
In demonstrations, which, so long as
they were not destructive, were not In
tcrcforcd with.
JETTY IN URQENT NEED.
Chief Engineer MacKenzle's Strong
Opinion.
Washington, Nov. 1. "Thero Is no
river or harbor project In the United
States so desperately In need ot money
right now as tho mouth ot tho Colum
bia river," raid General MacKenxh',
chief ot engineers, today. "In my
opinion," lie added, "construction of
tho Panama canal, fiom an engineering-
point of view, does not compare
with the project wo havo tiudiirthkeu
on the Columbia rivet bar. This 40-
foot channel project Is ono ot tho most
dllllcult problems wo ever had to solve.
Our plan ot solving It is all right, hut
wo must overcome such obstacles as are
not found on any othor project In this
country; compared with them t lie ob
stacles at Panama bccoinu Insignifi
cant." General MacKentlo then pointed out
why It is essential that a large sum
should bo appropriated at tho coining
session for continuing jetty eonsliiie
tion. The money on hand remaining
from the last appropriation will last
only a few months longer. When it
Is gone work must bo suspended, unless
emigres In the mealtime shall provide
further means for continuing 0cra
lions. If wotk stops on the Jetty while
It Is incomplete vast damage will bo
dono by heavy seas, not itlouo to the
Jetty, hut to thy tramway, which ex
tends somo way beyond tho end of the
ltty.
INVfcSTIGATE LAND OFFICES.
President Issues Special Orders
to
Keep Commission.
Washington, Nov. 1. Acting on n
recent letter of tho secretary of tho In

that defects existed In the organization
and business methods of a number ot
'the. bureaus connected with his depart
ment, and suggesting that tho matter
be referred to the Keep eominitteo for

quested tho committee to enter upon
tho investigation at its earliest conven
ience and that special attention bo giv
er, to tho methods of business employed
In tho general and local laud olllces,
the olllco of tho surveyor general, the
Reclamation service ami tho Indian
service.
The inquiry will deal specially with
the general and local land olllces. One
of tho questions which will receive the
attention of the committee la whether
tho services ot receivers at local olllces
may not ho disiensed with without det
riment to good administration,
Ex-Senator Sentenced.

JETTY NEEDS CASH
Engineers Want $1,200,000 to
Coiniiloto Work.
AVAILABLE FUND ALL EXPENDED
Only Enough to Finish This Year's.
Work No Economy In Ploco-
nionl Appropriations.
Washington, Nov. 2. Every dollar
appropriated for Improving the mouth
of the Columbia river has been expend
ed, Including tho $ 100,000 carried In
tho last river and harbor hill. Tho
work which Is In progress today Is be
ing done on credit, Congress having
authorized the expenditure of $300,000
In excess ot tho amount actually appro
priated, it being assumed that thla
amount will bu madu ava'lablu at tho
coming session. But tho contracts now
In fotco expire December 31, 1005, and
on that date prautlrally all q( this
$300,000 will have been consumed by
contracts, so that, when congress 'act
ually appropriated this money, It will
go to pay (or work completed, and not
(or work yet lo he dune.
Major l.uimlltt, on duty at tho-office
uf the chief ot engineers, says that ap
proximately $1,260,000 Is necessary to
complete the Jutty, which will extent' It
seaward aliout one inllo he)oud tho
Milnt where It now ends. Mo Is satis
fied, as Is the chief ot engineers, that
the liest results will be obtained by ap
propriating this full amount nl tho
coming session, so that tho Jetty ran
he rushed to completion next neuron, If
Mislhle. Like General MacKetizle, ho
liel level a suspension ot work will mean
considerable damage, especially to tho
liamway, a lews wlilch would lie large
ly avoided If work could be resumed
next spring.
Tho reasons why the money appro
priated and authorised at the lnt ses
sion was expended ro rapidly was to
demonstrate that the completed Jetty
will Increase the ill pth on tho bar, to
give Portland the benefit of a deep,
channel at thn earliest Kssihlo day,
and to open the way for an impropria
tion this winter siilllelent to enable tho
engiiieurs to complete ilm Jetty.
