From Homes Surrounded Rising Waters. SHADOWED BY JAPANESE. by Fort Scott, Kan., April 27.—Fort Scott is experiencing the most serious flood in its history, Marnatong river and Mill creek, which rgns into the foimer stream here, have risen ten feet in the past 24 houis, the result of heavy rains. Several hundreds of per sons have been rescued in boats. As far as known tonight no livea have been lost. The estimated loss in livestock drowned and property damaged is $100,000. The two streams began to rise at 10 o'clock last night and . today the city was divided into' three" sections and al most completely isolated^ Normally Mill creek runs into th. Marmatong liver, northeast of the city but because of the rapid rise they Urmedauew channel which cut ariose ie end of the city. Tonight the entire northern part of the city is cut off, and pert of the city is inundated. Ten feet of water is rushing through the streets in that part of the city and several hundred persons in what is known as Belltown have been forced to leave their homes. Many were taken away in boats. There weie several narrow escapes from drowning. Late today an aged couple named Lemore, living north of the city near the river, were rescued in boats. They were completely hemmed in. Rescuers were out all day under the direction of Fire Chief Ausman, Mayor Congdon and Chief of Police Mendenhall, and they succeeded in sav ing thousands of dollars' worth of prop erty as well as the hundreds of inhabi tants of that district. Many who refused to leave Belltown will still have to be taken away in boats, as all avenues of escape have now been cut off. The gas works is three feet under water and has closed down. The en gine and pumps at the water Btation are 20 feet under water. The South western Wholesale Grocery cornjiany’s warehouse is flooded and the water has reached the office. The wholesale dis trict is completely surrounded and mer chants are removing their Btocks of goods. All the railroads are tied up, bridges being threatened and tracks covered. Washouts are repotted in all direc tions. In the low farming land the water is from five to ten feet deep and much stock has been drowned and heavy damage to property caused. It is estimated that 300 persons are home less. The cazr has signed an order recall ing Viceroy Alexieff. The Japanese lines on the Yalu river now extend for 30 miles.

Washington, April 27.—District Many floating mines have been seen off the Shan Tung promontory in the path followed by vessels bound to and from Shanghai and Che Foo and Tien TBin. This is extremely dangerous to shipping and probably will cause an increase in marine insurance.

Noble, of the reclama tion service, at Spokane, Wash, has been instreuted to proceed to make the necessary investigations at the earliest possible date concerning the develop ment of 'he Yakima valley, to ascertain whether the opportunities for irrigation works there are of such a character as to warrant the beginning of a large government work in this city. The in vestigation will be for the purpose largely of securing a better knowledge of the physical conditions of this region. Cleaning Up to Adjourn. Washington, April 27.—The time of the senate will be devoted wholly to clearing the calendar preparatory to ad journment, which most senators still say will occur during the present week. There remains only one appiopriation bill to be passed by the senate, that for the military academy. A number of the supply bills are still in the confer ence, however, and it is expected there will be more or lees discussion of con ference reports. Improvements at Paget Sound Yards.

Salem—The Btate of Oregon now has $4,000,000 of school funds drawing in terest at an average of 6 per cent. This is the largest sum the state ever had drawing interest and it represents the limit of the irreducible school fund, for a number of years hence, at least. The revenue from this fund will be about $240,000 per year, and from this the expenses of running the state land de- partmnet must be paid, amounting to less than $10,000 per year, leaving about $230,000 to be distributed an nually among the counties of the Blate upon the basis of school population. The apportionment this year will be reduced somewhat by reason of repay ments of interest received from pur chasers of land where the tit!« failed. Of this total of $4,000,000, about $3,500,000 is in the form uf loans and $500,000 is in the form of deferred payments on sales of school land. Of the loans, $3,250,000 is out on real es tate mortgage securities paying 6 per cent interest. The other $250,000 is invested in school district bonds bear ing 5 per cent interest. The $500,000 due on sales of land is drawing interest a’ 6 and 7 per cent. An avemge rate of interest on the whole $4,000,000, is 6 per cent. Less than a year ago the state treas ury contained $725,000 of idle money in the school fund. There was then little prospect that this money would soon be put out at interest, but several circumstances have combined to create a demand for the school funds. It will be tne policy of the board to favor small borrowers, as the money will benefit more people in this way. In all the loans that have been made the board has been earefui to accept only gilt edge security, and it is believ ed there is not a loan outstanding that would show a loss even if hard times should bring about a decline in real estate values.

Astoria — During September, 1902, Fish Warden Van Dusen secured a number of small salmon that had been kept in fresh water for several months ar.d placed them in the Astoria reser voir. Recently the reservoir was emptied for the purpose of cleaning it and the fish were taken out by Deputy Webster. The largest of the fish was only about 15 inches in length, show ing conclusively^ that the salmon need salt water to develop them. The effect of this experiment will be to overthrow the theory that the salmon fry should be kept in fresh watei as long as possible before being turned out and permitted to make their way to sea. Planting of Sugar Beats. La Giande—F. S. Bramwell, field superintendent of the I ji Grande sugar factory, staets that the present pros pects for a large acreage of sugar beets are very flattering. The total beet acieage last year was 1,800 acres, and this year 2,800 acres are assured. The company itself is seeding 1,800 acres this year. Experiments are also being made in several sections of Umatilla county in the matter of growing sugar beets. Heeding is in progress in every section of the county, although foot hill ranchers are a little behind. School Loans Approved. Salem—The state land board has ap proved applications for loans from the school fund to the amount of (100,000. There are the applications that were pending when it was announc<-d recent ly that the idle surplus will soon be placed out at interest. Even when the surplus has been lent,there will be funds available from time to time as those who have borrower! in the past make repay ment or purchasers of school land pay their annual installments. Cannera to Uso Oil for Fuel. Astoria—Several of the canners and cold storage men have decided to use crude oil in place of wood for fuel in their plant«. Contracts have been made fol oil at 90 cents a bai rei, with the guarantee that 2X barrels of oil will equal a cord of the best fir wood. As the latter now sells at $4.25 per rord, the change will effect quite a sav ing in the fuel bills. Hillsboro—The directors of the Ore gon Condensed Milk company, of thia city, and who manufacture the Oregon Grape brand of evaporated cream, have received word from the Kelly-Clark company, exporters of evaporated ci earns to A laska and the Orient, that the recent test by the Holman refriger ator company, subjecting this cream to extreme heat and cold, has been veiy successful. , The cream, in cans,'was subjected to a heat ranging from 118 to 160 degrees, and several cans were frozen in a solid block of ice for 10 days. After the tests were made the cans were opened and there was no separation whatever, proving that the Oregon Grape cream is excellent for Alaska and Oriental shipment. This is naturally ot great interest to shippers, as both these fields draw heavily from Oregon for export cream. The Hillsboro factory is the largest west of the Mississippi river, and was the first established in Oregon, and this recent test establishes the manu facture of evaporated cream as a suc cessful and permanent enterprise. Warehouses are Nearly Empty. Spiez la Franca are Trying to Lean Plans ot Russians. St. Petersburg, April 26.—The Ruaki Slavo prints a letter from an official ia the French secret service which reporta the presence of numerous Japanese spies in France, well provided with money. They shadow Russians and watch the shipyards. Especially do they endeavor to ascertain the exact date of the departure of the Baltic fleet and the points en route at which it will coal. The Novosti states that the Russians should feel gratified at the strategical achievement of the naval squadron, which imposed caution upon the Jap anese operations and gave Russia time to throw a prepondering military force into Manchuria. The most favorable time, the Novosti continues, for Japan ese military operations has passed. A letter writtezj i by ‘ Colonel Apsgeff, an officer of marini íes on the Petropavlb- vsk, who was drowned, describes the routine upon the battleship. We rise, he wrote, at 6 o’clock, learn the news of the night and drink tea. At 8 o’clock we attend colors and then read the papers in hope of obtaining infor mation of the intentions of the enemy, Afterwards we go to a meeting at head quarters and discuss questions of de fense. Lunch comes at 1 o’clock. Af terwards we visit the city or transact our own affairs. Dinner at 6 o’clock, when rumors of all kinds circulate. If reports of the appearance of the enemy are persistent, the letter states, the torpedo boats are sent out, and upon these craft falls the hardest ser vice of the war. When Grand Duke Cyril arrived at Port Arthur, he was given command of a torpedo boat. The ships in the harbor, it ie stated, were connected with the others and with the shore by telephone. Pendleton—About a quarter of a mil lion bushels of last year’s wheat crop in this county remains unsold, and nearly all the sold portion has been moved, leaving the Umatilla ware houses comparatively empty. The wheat still held is principally in small lots, 10,000 to 15,000 bushels being NOT TO WATER IT. about the largest. Most of it is residue of crops already partly sold.
