WOULD NEGOTIATE
Castro, However, Continues Active
Preparations for War.
ASKS HOLLAND SEND NEW AGENT
Interprets Sending of Warships as a
Threat and Takes Ammunition
to La Guayra Forts.
Caracas, Oct. 29. President Castro
received on October 12 the second note
from The Netherlands government,
which fixes November 1 as tho dato
or revocation of the transshipment
decree of May 14. but it was not until
the following day, October IS, that
Venezuela's anxiously awaited" reply
was delivered into the hands of Baron
von Zickcndorff, the German minister,
who is in charge of Dutch interest.
Dr. Paul, minister of foreign affairs,
closed his answer to Holland by saying
that, as an interruption of diplomatic
exchanges exists between The Nether
lands government and Venezuela, and
as the Venezuelan government desires
to arrive at an amicable agreement, he
asked tho government of Holland to
rend to Caracas a confidential agent
with rowers and instructions to settle
all pendinc differences.
Holland makes no further threat in
her note, but the fact that two Dutch
warships left Holland at the same time
as the note, and are now lying tn me
harbor of Curacoa, has been interpret
ed here to be a direct though mute
threat that force would bo used oa No
vember 1 to compel revocation of the
decree of May 14.
President Castro has answered this
threat by making all accessary naval
and military preparations to meet any
reasonable emergency, aad shells for
the large coast defease guns oa the La
Guayra mountains were carried up to
the mountains last week.
BEWARE OF JAP.
Hobson Says United States Doomed
Soon as Fleet Leaves Pacific.
Saa Francisco, Oct. 29. A few
thousand Democrats in San Francisco
were told last night by Captain Rich
mond Pearson Hobsoa that Japan is
earcrbr seeking war with the United
States at an early date.
Hobson was sailing along smoothly
ditscussicg the campaign issues with
fervid speech, when a voice in the au
dience asked him to enlighten his bear
ers on naval affairs.
The congressman, who is a member
of the bouse committee on naval af
fairs, readily complied. He asserted
that Japan had borrowed more than
a billion dollars to be used in a war
with the United States. The overtures
of peace on the part of Japan, said the
speaker, were to deVude this nation
into returning the battleships to the
Atlantic so that Japan could seize
strategic points is the Pacific and en
the western coast of America, and by
commanding the mountain passes could
prevent relief from the East. He told
his hearers that there are now in the
United Stated 65,990 Japanese soldiers.
SELL GRAZING LANDS.

this week by Waite, FJIiott & Peek tn
Fergus and Yellowstone parties murks
the retirement of another big Montana

Belgrade, Oct. 80.- Despairing nt
the prospect of being altogether ignor
ed in the coming Balkan conference,
the Servian parliament today tele
graphed to the Russian doumn asking
that Russia ally herself with Servia

Austria's absorption of Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
Tho diplomatic corps here is await,

tenegro places Russia in the peculiar
position of having an opportunity to
strengthen her hold in the Balkan pen
insula, but she has already arranged
the details of the proposed Balkan con
ference through Foreign Minister 1s

Servia and Montenegro, a new situa

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
ORGANIZE FOR GOOD ROADS
Qusiness Houses Close so Proprietors
May Attend Meeting,
La Grande Tho organization of a
County Good Road league was the di
rect outcome of n successful meeting
attended by nearly every business man
of the city last week. For two hours
every business house was closed so the
proprietors could go to tho meeting.
The new league will secure a list of
petitioners and armed with it will ap
peal to the County court for liberal
appropriations to better tho county
road.
Many farmers heard Judge Scott, of
Salem, and Walter Pierce, of thl city,
discuss good roads. Several others
talked briefly. Tho olllcers of the
new league are: W. T. Wright, Union,
president; Walter M. Pierce, Finer
Sobbelov, W. II. Bohenkamp, vice
presidents: Charles E. Cochran, secre
tary, and William Miller, treasurer.
Water for Durns.
Burns The well drilling outfit of
Swain & Smith has arrived at Burns
nd will go to work next week di tiling
for water one and a half mile from
town, at a spring that now (lows 1,000
gallons per hour. Theespring is 110
feet higher than the main part nf town
and has been examined closely by an
expert on undergrvund sources of
water supply. The water fi ids its
way through a crevice in bed lock and
it is thought by the party who made
the examination that if the bed rock is
penetrated a bountiful supply will be
found. The water is absvlutcly pure
and six degrees warmer than other
springs in the same range, indtctting
that it is of a sub-artesian nature.

State Has Good Law.
Salem That the compulsory educa

law have been beneficial in keeping
children in school is the unanimous
testimony of school superintendents in
the various counties of Oregon. Their
statements in this regard are included
in their special report to Superintend
ent of Public Instruction Ackerman re
garding the general condition of educa
tional affair. Not one of the superin
tendents suggested a single amend
