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

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

goods. All the railroads are tied up,
bridges being threatened and tracks
covered.
Washouts are repotted in all direc

Washington, April 27.—The time of

say will occur during the present week.
There remains only one appiopriation

OREOON CREAM STANDS TEST.
Four Million Dollars Are Now Drawing Condensed Product Adapted to Oriental
Interest at 6 Per Cent.
and Alaskan U m .
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.

Experiment With Small Fry In the Big
Astoria Reservoir.
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.

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

Afterwards we go to a meeting at head

If reports of the appearance of the

the torpedo boats are sent out, and
