St. Petersburg, April 6.—Reports re ceived by the ministry of the interior indicate that the precautionary meas ures taken to prevent anti-Jewieb dis turbances during Easter week, when the ignorant are easily aioused to a sort of religious frenzy regarding “blood atonement,” will result in the avoidance of serious trouble. In spite of the precautions, however, it is considered possible there may be attempts at rioting, but the authorities may be relied upon to suppress these with a strong hand. The following private telegram was received today from Odessa: “Reports of anti-Jewish disturbances which are common at Easter time cause more alarm than usual this year, be cause of the occurrences last year. The Jews here are nervous but the authorities have confidence in Gover nor Eidhardt, wh» is in charge of the city, and who is an energetic and hu mane man, as well as in Baron Kaul bars, commander-in-chief of the troops in Southern Russa. Under the cir cumstances, therebre, anything like a serious dieturbanci is regarded as im possible. “The official paiers have published strongly-woided warnings, and the city is placarded with rotices that all who disturb the peace vill be severely pun ished.” Senator Gibson, of Montana, declares the hue and cry about a land lobby urging the repeal of several laws to be Scio • • . .

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON HEARS CONVICT CRY. NBW OREGON CORPORATIONS. Pictures of Discharged Men No Longer Articles Filed With the Secretary of to Be Oiven Out. State at Salem. Salem—In accotdance with instruc tions from Governor Chamberlain, the penitentiary authorities have discon tinued the practice of furnishing peace officers with pictuies and descriptions of all discharged prisoners. This change in the rules of the institution was made a few weeks ago upon the be lief that it would encourage ex-convicts to try to lead honest lives. The custom of sending out descrip tions of discharged prisoners was adopt ed in response to requests from chiefs of police in the cities. The police offi cers wanted the descriptions so that when a conviit had been discharged they could be on the lookout for him and could more easily locate him if he committed any offense. Several inci dents which came to the attention of the governor convinced him that more harm than good resulted from the send ing out of the descriptions, and he di rected that the practice be stopped. TO CONFINE THB WALLA WALLA. Free Space Under Railway With Levees WIU Be Provided. Milton—This season will probably see the last high water damage foi some time just beyond the junction of the Walla Walla river and the O. R. & N., a mile north of Mil ton, where the river bed is almost on a level with the flats on either side. For several years the piers in the O. R. & N. trestle over the river have caught brush, floating logs and debris of all kinds, causing the current to cut into the gravelly low banks on either side and scurry over the land. The piers are only 16 feet apart. The railroad has material on the ground to build a new span which will be supported by stone piers on either end, 108 feet apart. This will leave an uninterrupted space for the river, and the county commissioners of Walla Walla and Umatilla counties will di vide the expense of levees to confine the rushing waters of the fast flowing Walla Walla past the danger point. Salem — Articles of incorporaticn were filed in the office of the secretary of state last week as follows: Smith-Premier typewriter company, Syrause, N. Y., $100,000. Woodey Island fishing company, Port land, $6,000. Orpheum amusement company, Port land, $25,000. Butte Falls Hugar pine lumber com • pany, Medford, $70,000.

Engineers Are Ready to Report on (treat Irrigation ProjecL Washington, April 5.—The Boise- Payette irrigation project in Idaho has reached the stage where, having re ceived the endorsement of the engineers of the reclamation service, it is ready to be reported to the secretary 6f the interior for hie approval, as soon as the state land board has designated whs, disposition it will make of the 60,000 acres of land belonging to the state and lying under this project. It is doubtful if the secretary of the interior will pass on this project until a clear and explicit statement has been received from the state authorities as to the policy whieh will be followed by them in disposing of these lands. Un der th* provisions of the reclamation law of June 17, 1902, .the right to use water of lands in private ownership cannot be sold for a tract exceeding 160 acres to any one landowner, and such landowner must be an actual bona fide resident on such land, or' occupant thereof residing in the neighborhood. It is witbin the discretion of the secre tary to set the limit of area for each homestead, which limit shall represent the acreage which, in his opinion, may reasonably be required for the support of a family. Under the terms of this law the farm area under the Boise-Pay ette project will probably be set at 40 to 80 acres, according to the locality and character of the soil. OOVERNMBNT AID ONLY HOPE.
