REVOLT IN FINLAND
Entire Populace Ready to Die
Fighting Oppressors.
GOVERNOR ORDERS REBELS SHOT
No Distinction Made for Age or Sex
Women Are Taking Leading
Part in Revolt.
Copenhagen, Aug. 9. Legalised
slaughter ot Finnish women Is promis
ed i( the troops wrry out the orders
given them by the Rnsslan governor
general yesterday. He issued a procla
mation to the commtnding officers o!
the troop, instructing them that all
persons engsged in advocating and
spreading the revolutionary propaganda
must be shot, without regard for age or
sex. Inasmnch as for the past week
the loyal Finnish women have dressed
themselves in garments ot flaming red
and paraded the streets, stopping passers-by
and forcing their way into fac
tories and shops, it is evident that the
order of the governor general is direct
ed against them.
The order followed the stabbing of
the captain of a Cossack troop who at
tempted to arreet three women who
were addressing a crowd ot working
men in the market square of a Finnish
town. As the trooper placed his hand
upon the arm ot one of them she turn
ed, and drawing a dagger that she bad
concealed in her balr, ran it into his
heart. With her companions she es
caped, and has not been apprehended.
Other reports ot similar occurrences
have been received during the last three
days, and, acting, it is understood, un
der orders received from St. Petersburg
the governor general has determined
upon the strictest icpressive measures.
AH Finland is seething with revolt,
and practically the entire populace is
ready to sacrifice lives and property to
deal blows at the military oppressors.
The Russian authorities real is this,
and are strengthening the garrisons of
all Finnish towns. Halt a dozen at
tempts on the lives of Russian officials
have occurred recently, but none have
succeeded.
CASHIER IS INNOCENT.
Officer of Defunct Ohlcago Bank Says
President Did Looting.
Chicago, Aug. 9. The Tribune today
lays:
"Henry W. Herring, cashier ot the
Milwaukee Avenue State bank, looted
by Paul O. Stensland of over $1,000,
000, is In Chicago. He has not been
out of Chicago since Monday morning.
The police department can call in its
circulars, take its detectives off the
trail and rest assured in the belief that
at 1 o'clock tomorrow, or rather one
minute after 1, Mr. Herring will be in
the custody of Inspector Shippy. Her
ring intends to give himself up and is
absolutely confident that in a short
space of time be can show to the satis
faction of every one concerned that he
had no part in robbing the 23,000 de
positors of the wrecked institution."
Theodore Stensland, vice president of
the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, and
ion ot the fugitive president of that in
stitution, bss come to the rescue of the
23,000 depositors, and it is the general
belief of those who are endeavoring to
straighten out the affairs of the bank
that there is an excellent chance that
all depositors will receive almost dollar
for dollar when a final settlement It
made. The improved condition ot lj((e
bank's affairs was brought about 'by
young Stensland, who announced that
he would turn over to Receiver Fetxer
all the real estate and personal proper
ty of Paul O. Stensland, his f ither.
The son places a valuation 0( 600,

HIRING ARRESTED.
Cashier of Chicago Defunct Dank De
nies His Quilt.
Chicago, Aug. 10. Henry II. Herlng,
cashier of tho Milwaukee Avenuo Stats
bank, which closed its doors Monday,
was arrested yesterday and will bo re
fused his release on ball until his con
nection with ihe disappearance of near
ly 1,000,000 of the bank's funds is
cleared up. Paul O. Stensland, presi
dent of the dolunct institution, Is still
a fugitive, and, although nearly 100
detectives are searching for him, his
whereabouts is as much ot a mystery
as ever.
Herlng was arrested yesterday after
noon, two hours after tho time he had
previously promised he would give
himself up. He was taken at on re. to
the oflko ot Chief ot Police Collins and
put through a thorough examination as
to hia knowledge ot President Stons
land's mismanagement ot tho Institu
tion. Hering declared ho did not know
where Stensland was and had had no
communiciation with him tor ovor a
week. Tho cashier strenuously denied
the charge that ho himself was partly
responsible for tho failure of the bank.
Hering maintains that, it he is guilty
of breaking the banking laws ot Illi
nois, Stensland is responsible, as Her
ing in his examination declared he
never benefitted a single dollar by
Stensland's peculiar system of banking.
Bank Examiner Jones and Assistant
United States Attorney Gleason were
present during the examination of Her
ing. Neither they nor the police offi
cials were satisfied with his explanation
of his connection with the collapse ot
the bank, and it was accordingly decid
ed to refuse bail until tho matter bad
been further investlgacd.
fO PURCHASE SILVER.
Government Enters Market for First
Time In Thirteen Years.
Waebntgton, Aug. 10. For the first
time in 13 years tho government an
nounced today its purpore to pnrcbaee
silver for coinage purposes. Tenders
are invited at the offico ot the director
ot the mint in this city on Wednesday,
August 16, up to 1 o'clock p. m., and
every Wednesday thereafter until
further notice. These tenders are to be
for delivery at the Philadelphia, New
Orleans or Denver mints, settlement to
be on the New York basis ot bullion
guaranteed .999 fine. The treasury re
serves the right to reject all tenders or
accept such part of any tenders as may
suit its convenience.
It is understood that, anticipation
that its reappearance as a purchaser
might temporarily disturb the market
unduly, tba treasury has obtained con
trol of considerable amounts for furture
delivery, so that it is in a position to
drop out of the market for several
months it desirable. The average re
quirements of the treasury throughout
the year will probably not exreed 100,
000 ounces per week, and it will be the
policy of the department, while keep
ins a reasonable amount on hand, to so
distribute its purchases throughout the
year that Its demands will be uniform
and not an element of uncertainty in
the market.
TREAT BOTH NATIONS ALIKE
Japan Says China AJIows Russia Free
Trade In Manchuria. '
London, Aug 10. In at' dispatch
from Toklo the correspondent of the
Dally Telegraph saysft Is stated with
authority that Japan will only consent
to the establishment of a Chinese cus
tom house at Fprt Dalny to levy duties
on goods preening Inland beyond the
Kwan Tung peninsula on condition
that a slijiilar system be inaugurated at
the BJfnern frontier railroad stations
I" JJorthern Manchuria.
'It is asserted, tho correspondent con
tinues, that at present merchandise is
pouring into Manchuria ovor the Siber
ian railroad, from both European Rus
sia and Vladivostok, without the pay
ment of duty. It can therefore be sold
very cheaply. Russia's policy, the
correspondent concludes, obviously Is
to Isolate Port Dalny and divert all the
trade to Vladivostok, in order to rob
Japan of the fruits of victory.

I OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
' ' .I "
REPORT ON OREGON.
Irrigation Expert Investigates
State
and Issues Circular.
Washington Oregon farmers who re
sort to Irrigation, will bo deeply Inter
ested In a 30-pago circular Just Issued
by the department of Agriculture en
titled "Investigations ot Irrigation
Practice in Oregon." The book Is
written by A. P. Stover, Irrigation en
gineer, who spent last season in Oregon
making a study of Irrigation as it is
practiced, so as to find out the errors
that have been mado and gather data
which would bo helpful in Instructing
the irrigators how to avoid mistakes of
the past. The report is not as compre
hensive as might be desired, but con
tains a great many valuablo sugges
tions, and is worth the persuat ot every
farmer who is obliged to artificially
water his lands.
Mr. Stover made a study of the pro-
clpatlon In various parts ot the state,
and to n limited extent gathered data
on tho dlschargo of the principal
streams that can bo utilised for Irriga
tion. He states, in opening his report,
that the greater part ol the arable land
of Oregon lies in the arid section and
ran bo brought under inteusive culti
vation only by irrigation. lie found
that the low water flow ot most ot the
streams of Eastern Oregon has already
been appropriated for private irriga
tion, but as yet practically no steps
have been taken to conserve the winter
floods.
He finds that little ot the water now
being diverted is used economically, so
that there is a large supply for future
development.
Because of Its comparatively low ele
vation and consequent mild climate,
Mr. Stover save that Northeastern Ore
gon has advantages over the southeast.
The practice of wintet irrigation,
now practiced along the UmatilU river,
Is described, and the value of this prac
tice is indicated. It Is shown that
these Umatilla lands, under the Max
well flood water canals, yields a net
profit of $24 an acre, when planted In
alfalfa. It teems that the Umatilla
valley, howevtr, la exceptionally well
adapted for this sort of irrigation, be
cause ot tho unusual formation of the
soil and the underlying bedr ck. Few
localities will bo found where winter
irrigation will be as successful. On
Butter creek, where winter irrigation
has reached the highest stage of nerlec
tlon, fruits .'are sucessfully grown by
combining the principles of winter Irri
gation and dry farming.
Several pages are devoted to a detail
description ot Irrigation canals along
the Deschutes river, which have been
In operation for the past tew years, and
also ot the Maxwell and Irrigon canals
in the Umatilla country. For tome
reason there is nothing In the report
bearing directly on private Irr'gatlon
in the Klamath country. The rerort,
however, contains something of interest
to all irrigators, and will be fnrnl'htd!
by the department upon application.
Fix Hop Picking Price.
Salem .One' dollar per 100 pounds,
or 50 jnts per box, will doubtlees be
t'ae popular price paid for hop picking
In the valley this year, slnre tins seem
ed to be the predominating sentiment
as expressed at a meeting of about a
score of members of the Oregon II ip
growers' association, held In this city
last week. The prevailing tendency on
the part ot growers, also, is that hops
will go to 20 cents by harvest time and
all present were in favor of holding out
for that figure at least.
Dry Weather Hurting Hops.
Salem The continued dry weather
is showing its effect upon tne hop crop,
especially in old yards, and those not
cultivated as thoroughly as they should
be, and It Is declared by many that the
yield will be far under the 126 000
bales that has been predicted. l arils
that have been well cared for are stand
ing the dry weather In good shape.
The potato and corn crops are also keep
ing a good appearance where cultivation
has been good, and the recond crop ot
clover is coming on In good shape.
Linn County Wheat Heavy.
Albany New wheat is coming into
the Red Crown mill in Albany dally
now. This Is the Portland r louring
Mill's Linn county branch, and annu
ally receives all the wheat it can Ret in
this vicinity. The new wheat this year
is qulto Heavy, and la running well up
in yield. In many localities the yield
is reported mora bushels to the acre
than in years past, and everywhere the
crops are good.
Harvesting In Yamhill County.
McMinnvllle Harvest is now in full
swing in old Yamhill. Most of the
threshing crews began work last week.
The runs will probably extend from 25
to 30 days. The harvest this year will
be tho largest for a number of years.
Wheat Is yielding 23 bushels to Ihe
acre. Oats yield 40 bushels to the acre
and weigh 30 pounds to the bushel.
Barley Is yielding from 50 to 00 bushels
to the acre.
MORE JUDGES NEEDED.
Supreme Court Badly Behind With
Its Appeal Docket.
Salem The fact that the Oregon Bit
piome court la about a year behind In
its work and has been losing ground In
the last few months has revived the
suggestion that the number ot Judges
be increased from three to five. Tharo
are now' on tho docket ready fur trial
07 cases appealed from Western Oregon
counties. There are also somo on the
Eastern Oregon docket at Pendleton,
but tho exact number is not known.
The rases now ready tor trial oxtend
back as tar sa December, 1903. There
are alto on the preliminary docket 84
cases which will bo ready for trial In
the next tew mouths, so that there li
evory prospect that tho supply ol cases
to bo heard will not diminish.
Tho causes of the court getting be
hind in Its work aro several. Thn
numbor ol appealed cases has been un
usually large and several cases of extra
ordinary magnitude havo occupied an
unusual amount ot attention. Then
there has lieen a change on the bench,
which always causes some delay. Judgo
Hailey was appointed to the supreme
bench last winter. He had extensive
business Interests at his home In Pen
dleton and could not at ence adjust his
private business so as to give his whole
time to his Judicial duties. Then tlie
political campaign came on and took
considerable Minn for two months.
Another change will be made the first
of the year, when Judge hakln

Clover Huller In Linn County.
Albany For the first time In tho
history ot Linn county a clover huller
has brgun a season's threshing. Frank
Roth and Ernest Howard, proprietors
of tho huller, havo already listed about
1,000 acres ot clover to hull which
assures a 40 day's run and success for
the venture. In the past threu years
the rise ot tho clover Industry In this
county has been remarkable and oven
it tho present phenaminal Increase In

lers running the mason will bo an es

County Poultry association it was de
cided to hold the first annual poultry
show in Eugene from December 12 to
