DALNY OPEN TO THE WORLD. Free Port In Manchuria Can Buy Many American Products, Washington, Nov. 2. Dalny was opened to the trade of the world on September 1 without any ceremony whatever, according to a Teport made to the State Department by John Ed ward Jones, the American Consul. Mr. Jones says that many Japanese cargoes have arrived. At present no business houses are available, but Mr. Jones says a number of Japanese firms have obtained permission to re pair buildings which were damaged In the late war and merchants of other nations can obtain the same right. Haste is necessary, however the Con sul says. As the Manchurians regard whes' as their staple crop, Mr. jones Bays it is likely that the Bungarl Valley will be entirely devotlpd to wheat hp' year, and In consequence, there win be a demand for farming machinery. Cotton goods are also in demand. Some American cotton fabrics already have been received, but Japan Is work ing hard for the trade.

LEGISLATORS MEET Oregon Salons Seeking Informa tion on Public Hatters. PENDLETON ENTERTAINS THEM Vialt Washington's Jute Mdl and Ore. gon Stata Normal School at Weston. Peodloton, Or., Oct. 59. Whether Oregpn should supplant Its atovo foun dry In tho Salem prison with a Jute mill was studied today In the Walla Walla Jute plant of the Washington state prison by Governor Chamberlain. ot Oregon, S3 menibera of tho Oregon legislature, C. W. James, superintend ent ot the Oregon penitentiary, and others. While tho lawmakers have not eipreaaed their opinions on the sub ject freely. It Is evident that many of them do not favor tho change. This la the attitude also ot Governor Chamberlain , and Superintendent James. They argue that the store foundry brings to tho state a revenue twice aa big as a Jute mill would do, that a jute mill would launch tho stale in a business which Is In large meas ure speculative and risky and liable to heavy losses because the raw pro duct from India ia manipulated by a trust; that the finished bags would be sold to consumers near the factory. thereby discriminating against others not favored by proximity to the plant; that Oregon a participation In the bus iness would not regulate prices, be cause It could make only 1$ per cent of tho baga used, and the Washington plant doubled In site could make only 5 per cent of the bags used In thai state; and that the change to a juts mill would entail upon the atato an x pendlturo ot perhaps $125,000. The Oregonlans examined tho jute mill with keen Interest. It was not running, because the day was ono of ita alternate idle ones, tho Idleness coming from short Juto supply. But several of the 70 looms were put In motion for exhibition. Tho visitors, headed by Governor Chamberlain, were conducted through the plant by Governor Mead and M. F. Klncald, the new superintendent. The chief argument for tho Juto mill Is that manufacture of gTaln sacks, on like that of stoves, does not compete with free labor and that It gives farm ers sacks cheaper than the market price. After viewing the Walla Walla plant. the visitors went to Weston to view the Normal School at that place and theace came to Pendleton, where they attended a dinner and smoker tonight, given by the Commercial Association. At the Weston Normal School the party was greeted by Robert C. French, president of that Institution, and was led to the assembly hall of the school whers some 240 students were gathered. President French, to show that the Institution was not a local high school for Weston, isked the pupils residing In Weston to arise, then those whose homes were beyond the town. The latter number visibly exceeded tho former. President French said afterward that of tba 138 pupils In tho normal department, only 22 are residents of Weston. In addition aro 102 young pupils In the training department, all from Weston, their studies ranging from kindergarten to eighth grade The age of normal pupils ranges from It to 27, most of them being 17, 18 and 1. Governor Chamberlain spoHo com- mendlngly of the school, saying It would always have a place In bis heart. Representative Davey, of Ma rlon, encouraged the friends of the school by declaring that It Is one of the Indispensable educational Institu tions of Oregon. Representative Vaw ter, of Jackson, spoko the same senti ment and Jocularly said that Governor Chamberlain's remarks bad put him on record and that they would be remem bered when be should pass upon the appropriation bill ot the Republican legislature. Other speaker were Senator Smith, of Umatilla, and J. H. Raley, of Pendleton. The town of Weston took an after noon holiday to receive the visitors. At the station, a mile distant from the school, numerous conveyances were waiting their arrival, to convey them up town. The keen Interest of Weston in Its normal school was evidenced by the appreciation Its citizens showed of the visit o the Governor and the Leg islators. At tonight's dinner Governor Cham- berlaln urged co-operation of Oregon and Washington for improvement of the Columbia river and tba protection of salmon. Governor Mead responded that In Improvement of that river Washington "ought to co-operate with your state." But be pointed out that Seattle controlled a great part ot the legislative power of Washington, r that it waa not so well Informed of the needs of tho Columbia river aa It might bo. FIRST BRUSH 5STZJB FARTHEST NORTH Soldiers Outwitted Captured Ponies. - Butte, Nov. 1. A special to tho Miner from Sheridan, Wyo., aaya: Re ports of tho first brush between troops and Utes have reached hero by tele phone from Blrney. A troop of the Tenth Cavalry rounded up and at tempted to drive oft 50 head of ponies being grated by tho fugitive Indians. Tho herders sent tho alarm to tho main band. As tho soldiers were driv ing the ponies away a band of 100 bucks came riding up, and, circling the troops, succeeded In stampeding the ponies and recovered all but five. which were shot by tho soldiers. Tho Indiana did not Ore, but their determined rt'acuo of their ponies In dicates their temper. Tho soldiers felt themselves unablo to cope with the force and tho shuts killing tho ani mals wsre fired as the herd waa being driven away. The Indians aro , outwitting the troops now In tho field. A troop of the Tenth Cavalry marched all Tues day night In hopo of capturing a small baud of Utes on Hitter Creek, arriv ing mere only to find the band had moved. Later a scout reported the Indians 20 miles away. The troops then made a forced march to Powder river. Soldiers aro complaining bitterly against the actions ot the Indian scouts, American Horse, Women's Dress and White Cow Bull, employed by the government. The Indians pro fess not to know the country, but the belief Is growing that they are pur posely leading the troops In a fruitless search In order to gain time. Another detachment of the Tenth Cavalry met and turned back a small band of Cheyennea under Chief Two Face. Ho said they were hunting and they were started toward the reserva tion. The band of a hundred Crows under Sweet Mouth, which hurriedly left 8herldan Monday night, waa also met and turned back by tho Tenth Cavalry. The Indians aro making forced marchea at night to elude the soldiers, and. owing to the poor work or treach ery of tho acouts, the soldiers are un able to keep track of them. Railroad men running Into Sheridan tonight report having passed a band of a hundred Sioux marching south east within 50 miles west of Sheridan. Neither Indiana nor troopa have ar rived at Birney. The settlers are fearful of a Chey enne uprising If tho Utes reach the reservation border near Ashlsnd. Troops from Fort Keogh and Fort Meade are converging on Ashland. ALCOHOL, MAKING AND USE.

Mc- Farland, commanding the company, who was appealed to by the men. wrote a communication to the Military Secretary of the War Department stat ing that the proprietor had said that he would admit soldiers only In cltl sens' clothing. Captain McFarland referred the let ter to Lleutenant-Colonol William Paulding, who Indorsed it by stating that "it Is very unfortunate and to be deplored that the uniform of the Na tion's Army should be held In such lack of esteem by individuals In this community, and It Is to be hoped that some means may be found in correc tion."
