Two Indictments Said To Be In Order for J. N. Williamson. Portland, Feb. 7. The last week of the present Federal grand iury is at and. The long aerie of Investiga tions which have been taking the time of the jury for the past two months is drawing to a close and will end on Sat urday, if the plans of the government attorneys carry. The present week will be a busy one, for it will bring to light some of the entanglements of those high in the confidence of the state and the nation and will show still further the extent and scope of the land frauds which have been carried on in many cases to completion and in others practically to that stage during the past few years. During the week it was rumored that Representative J. N. Williamson will come under the notice of the Federal grand jury, not once, but twice.. It is said that the next few days will see the junior representative ol the state in dicted for his alleged connection with various land deals in the vicinity of his homo at Prineville and also for fraudulent transactions in the. Blue Mountain reserve. Just what the complaints are is a mystery which the government officials alone would be able, at this time, to tell. They have nothing to say. But in spite of this reticence, it is made known from various sources that the end of the week w ill see more persons implicated in the land frauds than have as yet hinted at or thought of. In addition to the names of Mr. Williamson are mentioned those of various of the former special agents of the government, and several of the ex special agents who have been sent to ilim mtnrv tn look into the alleged regularities of the land department. Beyond a rumor that several of the sjecial agents are under the eye of the grand jury, nothing definite can be learned. However, it can be stated with a reasonable degree of certainty that former employes of the Interior de partment in Oregon will be brouht to lxok for irregular work done by them during their terms of office. It is further safe to predict that Saturday will see the adjournment of the jury until the March term calls the men once more to the task ol probing into the irregularities of the land transact ions of Oregon. 0.

Hood RiverThe Howl River Apple Growers' Union shipped two cars of apples last week to New Orleans. This makes a total of 105 cars shipped by the association, and practically closes the apple shipping season. About 25 more cars have been sent from Hood River bv other shippers. There are a few more cars to follow. Word from Front street brings the Information that but few apples have been shipped from the Pa louse country, the Yakima or the Grand Ronde val leys. As there are large crops in these localities, which must soon be moved, it is feared by the dealers in Portland that the coast market must soon be flooded with apples. The Hood River growers have received very good prices. The farmers will now turn their atten tion to the strawberry fields. Creamery for Eugene. Eugene K. C.

TOO MUCH TROUBLE AT HOME With Nation in Rebellion Reserves Cannot Be Sent to Cope with Those Sent by Japan. London, Feb. 7. The highest au thority is claimed by the St. Petersburg corresjondpnt ,of the London Daily Chronicle for the statement that the grand ducal party baa suddenly decided that Russia must sue for peace. The correspondent states that the grand dukes and their supporters have held frequent conferences of late at which they discussed the Far Eastern war and came to the conclusion that the country cquld not afford to con tinue the war under the present condi tions. The immediate cause for this change of mind on the part of the very men who have right along stood in the way of peace is said to have been the recent disaster to the Russian arms on the Hun river. Coupled with the news of this defeat has come to the grand dukes the reali zation that they cannot compete with Japan's ability to throw army after army into Manchuria, especially in view of the internal situation, which may render further mobilization of reservist troops almost impossible. The correspondent states that, ac cordingly, the Russian embassy at Pans has been asked to earn the good will of Great Britain with a view to mitigating the terms which Japan is likely to impose. STREET CAR OVERTURNS. IMPROVE VANCOUVER BARRACKS Large Allotment from Army Post Fund Likely To Be Secured. Washington, Feb. 7. The army ap propriation bill, recently passed by con gress, carries a large appropriation lor the improvement of army posts. This money is distributed by the secretary of war, he approving allotments which are made op by the quartermaster gen eral. Senator Ankeny and Representa tive Jones have arranged to call upon the secretary of war and ask for a lib eral slice of that lump sum for making much-needed improvements at ancou- ver barracks. Reports which have been submitted by the officers at ancouver show the urg ent necessity for many new buildings to replace the antiquated and dilapi dated structures now standing. Of course they ask. for more money than can be had, something over $1,000,000 in all. Nevertheless, an attempt will be made to get a liberal portion of this fund. The largest item recommended is $250,000 for erecting a new building for headquarters offices, a building of brick, with stone trimmings, large enough to accomodate all the officecrs assigned to headquarters, together with the clerical force of the post. It is also asked that four additional double in fantry barracks be erected at a cost of $230,000, and in additionl quarters for 59 officers as follows: One commanding officer's residence, six field officers' quarters, nine captains' donble quarters and nine lieutenants double quarters, to cost in all about $500,000. In ad dition $10,000 is asked for a new main sewer, $8,000 for cement sidewalks, $2,000 for extending the electric light ing system, $5,000 for water mains, $45,000 for grading and filling, $15,000 for improving the parade grounds and $70,000 for two new artillery stables. Poland Wreck Causes One Death and Thirty-one Injuries. Portland, Feb. 7. One man was killed and 31 persons injured, some of them fatally, by the wrecking of a car of the Portland Consolidated railway company on the Montavilla line, t the corner of East Twenty-eighth and East Glisan streets, at 7:20 o clock yes terday morning. The accident oc-' curred on a shcrp curve at the base of a steep incline. The car s momentum was so great that it was unable to make the turn and was overturned. , There were 66 passengers on the car at the time of the accident, the majority be ing business men and employes on their way to work in the heart of the city. It is a question whether the motor man lost control of the car or whether he did not use the usual precautions until it was too late. Five blocks from the scene of the accident the car was running at a speed greatly in excess of Ihe rate specified in the city ordinances governing street car traffic. One pas senger, who stood on the front platform of the car beside the motorman, de clares that no effort was made to gov ern the speed of the car until it was almost rounding the curve. The street car company says the brakes bad been set as shown by the fact that the wheels were worn smooth by sliding. READY TO FIGHT. Foreign Mine-s Shut Out. Tbkio, Feb. 7. After the most heat ed debate which has yet taken place in the Japanese house of representatives, the amendments to the mining law pro hibiting foreigners to work Japanese mines was parsed during Monday's ses sion. The bill was fought bitterly by the foreign residents having mining in terests in Japan, and the government has been severely censured for advocat ing a measure which must needs antag onize certain influential interests whos'' good will, it is believed by many, to be important and necessary at this time. Reservists Are In Arrest. London, Feb. 7. The London. Daily Chronicle prints a dispatch from its St. Petersburg correspondent stating that 6,000 reservists at Peterhof have mu tinied and are under arrest in their barracks. Warlike Talk of High British Official Causes Kaiser to Anger. Berlin, Feb. 7. At the foreign office it was said this afternoon that Ger many would ask England for an ex planation of the provocative anti-German speech made at East Leigh, Feb ruary 2, by Arthur H.Lee, civil lord of the admiralty, in which he said that Britain would smash an unnamed en emy in the North sea before that enemy had time to realize that war had been declared. The foreign office said: "We hope that nothing will result from Lee's speech. We prefer to be lieve be spoke more as a naval expert than as a statesman or cabinet officer. Yet it is impossible not to put a polit ical construction upon his utterances. We shall, of course, take up the mat ter." Will Fight Near Sandepas. St. Petersburg, Feb 7. Military operat ions in Manchuria continue at a standstill. iSo importance ib attacned by the war office to the Japanese move ments on the Russian center and left, rv u 11 ia ni v v wvu a vvu- . 8 1 rat ions. General Heisman, a War critic, expresses the opinion that the Russians are not likely to surrender the i I .1 i - c , lASaibiUlia IA'IU1CU uuituw, vi uauuv pas, and that a series of encounters there will probably continue until the weather is favorable for a general advance. Russia Wants More Money. London, Feb. 7. It is stated in well informed financial circles in London that negotiations have been completed for floating a new Russian loan ol $200,000,000 in Paris. The loan will bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum. The date of the issue has not yet been fixed.
