SHELTON REALESTATE BROKER, Jus tics of th* 2«ac» Notary Publio Scio Oregon State Bank Washington, May 11.—The first field party of the United States geological survey to leave Washington this year is, as usual, the Alaskan contingent. During the past winter congress in creased its appropriation for Alaskan work from (60,000 to (80,000, which is about 1 per cent of the annual output of that territory. Nine partieswill be engaged there during the coming season in topographic and geologic work. Be sides these, three subparties, which may be counted as ottsboots of the larg. er ones, will take up special work, so that the number of survey investiga tions on foot in Alaska during ths sum mer will be 12, as against 7 of last year. The geologic work of the ¡art season in Southeastern Alaska will tai’ <■ntin- ued by Messrs. C. W. and 1 W Wright. As this is the only note worthy lode mining district of Alaska, and as its rich deposits of gold, silver and copper are only partiatlly devel oped, a study of its resources is likely to be of vital interest to the prospector and investor. The work will begin with a reconnaissance across the islands from Taku Inlet to Sitka. An exami nation of the mining district about Sit ka will follow, together with a study of the coal deposits of Admiralty Island, with Wrangell as a base. F. W. Wright will then study the local, geology and mineral deposits, while-C. W. Wright connects the geology of the Juneau district, the work of Dr. A. C. Spencer in 1903, with that of the Ketchikan district, the work of Alfred H. Brooks in 1901. If the time per mits, some of the copper and gold mines of Prince of Wales Island will be visited.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON IRRIGATION BY POWER. FINE YEAR FOR WOOL. Oasoliae Engines Used tor Pumping In Grade Is Higher and the Texture Finer Eastern Oregon. Than Usual. Baker City—A novel plan in this section is being adopted here io reclaim the arid lands lying a tew miles east of town. A few weeks ago W. J. Patterson and associates sold 780 acres of this land to Wisconsin men, who immediately be gan clearing it of sage brush. When this was completed a steam plow run by a traction engine was placed in oj>- eration and a large part of the land prepared for seeding. Wells have been sunk to water and pumps will be in stalled to be operated by gasoline en gines. The wells are so situated that a large area can be covered by water. Mr. Patterson is placing under culti vation a large tract of land in a similar manner, except that instead of gasoline engines he has installed motors and will run his pumps by electric power. His land is on the line between this city and the Cyclone mine. Mr. Pat terson estimates that each pump will irrigate 80 acres. His plant will begin full operation next week. He thinks the cost of power will not exceed that of keeping up irrigating ditches. There is a large body of rich land ly ing east of town which is practically useless withont water on the surface. Water can be obtained in quantities by sinking from 15 to 40 feet. Should this venture prove a success from a financial standpoint, it is ex pected thousands of acres will be re claimed in this way when the large electric power plant on Eagle creek shall have been completed. STOCK PROSPECTS ARB OOOD. C. J. Mlllls Views the Range In Eastern Oregon Counties. La Grande—C. J. Millie, livestock agent for the O. R. & N., has returned from an extended tour to the interior of Oregon, where he covered a vast csope of country, including Grant, Harney and Crook counties, and was compelled to make the trip incomplete on account of bad roads, as they are impassable in many places on account of spring wash outs and many bridges are swept away. Mr. Millie reports that stock pros pects are very good all through Eastern Oregon and he thinks there will be the best range this year for many years past. The spring rains and freshets have done the work for the range, even though they have swept away bridges and ruined many roads, and he also thinks that the hay crop will be ahead cf any for many years. But the prices of stock are not the best now, though a change is being looked for soon. There ¡8 an overplus throughout the country, too many stock everywhere. Oregon has a good range and this is established for the present year, and the stockmen wi'l be able to hold the stock for better prices. As soon as the roads will permit, Mr. Millie will complete the trip through the interior. Pendleton—Sheep shearing is about half over, taking Umatilla county as a whole, and the results of shearing so far have justified early expectations of what the clip would be. The grade is higher, the texture finer. What is lost in weight because the clip is cleaner this spring is nearly compen sated by the greater length of strands and will probably be more than com pensated by the improved price it will obtain over dirty wool. With one exception, only a few small clips, trifling in comparison with the en tire output, have been sold. Most of them belonged to smaller sneepmen in the sand district, who needed the money or were scared into letting goby pessimistic talk of buyers. Ry these from 9 to 12 cents was realized. “The outlook for good prices keeps up to the mark, and I can see nothing in the situation in the United States, or in the world, for that matter, which would justify a prediction of a market at all weak," said J. II. Ginn, secre tary of the Oregon Woolgrowers’ as sociation. “In fact, I believe sales days will see prices a shade better than were received last year. Grow ers should hold their clip until the Bales, and I think none of them will be sorry for it." Creamery Runs at Top Limit. Oregon City—The Clear Creek cream ery, located near this city, and operated by the farmers on a co-operative basis, is biing run to its full capacity, 600 pounds of butter being churned in a single day this week. Several new- cream rcutes are being established and the output of the plant is beng in creased weekly.' Many Clackamas county farmers have been taken in dur ing the last two weeks by a fakir who is traveling through the interior of the county selling a recipe by which it is claimed that butter can be made in a few minutes and at the same time de odorize cream. For each recipe the smooth-tongued salesman collects $5. Land Business Slackens. 'The Dalles—A report of the business transacted ind the cash receipts of the United States land office at this place showed a slackening of the rush which has continued in this office for the past two years, in which the working force of the office has been taxed to its ut most in order to keep abrenst of the current work. For the month of April 87 original homesteads, 14 final home steads and 55 Anal timber and stone proofs are reported, the cash receipts being 124,342.27-, total cash receipts, fees and commissions (26,467.95.

Chefoo, May 10.—Passengers arriv ing here on the steamer Petrarch from NiuChwangaay that when they left Niu Chwang the Ruaaiana had com menced to evacuate. Some guns had been taken from the forts and many troop»« had already gone. In other re- spects, Niu Chwang was quiet. The passengers understood before their departure that the Japanese had cut the railway, but they learned no particulars. London, May 10. — The Morning Post's Shanghai correspondent reports that Dalny was captured Friday, while the Tokio correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, cabling under date of Sun day, says: “Dalny wyis invested yesterday." The Daily Mail’s correspondent at Niu Cbwang, in a dispatch dated May 8, says: "Yesterday most of the Russian troops retired to Tashihichao, and dur ing the night moat of the guns were re moved from the fort and sent to Liao Yang, where all the Russian forces are concentrating. A conference of the civil and military authorities was held this afternoon and it was. decided to prepare to leave at a moment's notice." GREAT GLOOM IN RUSSIA. Probable Movement of the Enemy Source of Anxiety. a 8t. Petersburg, May 10.—Two offic ial dispatches, calculated to increase the depression existing among all cir cles in Russia were given out last night. From the point of view of the progress of the campaign, the most important ia that regarding the capture by the Jap anese without opposition of Feng Wang Cheng, on May 6. The second gives details concerning the killed, wounded and missing among the troops under the command of Lieutenant General Zaeaalitch, as the result of the fighting on the Yalu. the number of which totals 2,397 officers and men. Now that General Kuroki is eatab- liebed at Feng Wang Cheng, the Rue sians are puzzled as to what move be will make next. The fact that he sent two companies to Daliandiapu Tso, ten miles northeast of Feng Wang Cheng, might indicate his purpose to proceed along this road to Ting Chang Gien, 90 miles north from where he would march due west to Liao Yang. This would permit an effective flanking movement, but it is not considered probable, the likelihood being that he will move along the road by which the Russians retreated toward Liao Yang. TO PICK *OS SITB. National Board Will Send One of Its Members to Portland. World’s Fair Grounds, St. Louis, May 10.—The members of the govern ment board of the Lewis and Clark ex position left for Washington today to report upon the site offered for the gov ernment buildings by Henry E. Doech, commissioner general of the Lewis and Clark centennial to the Louisiana Purchase exposition. All bnt two members of the government board were present, and organized their board with Theodoie A. Bingham, assistant secre tary of agriculture, as chairman, and Major William C. Fox, of the bureau of American republics, as secretary. J Mr. Dosch offered the government either the peninsula in Guild’s lake or a site on the higher ground overlook ihg.the lake with the rest of the Build ings. The members of the board are in favor of the peninsula site, and will detail one of the members as a repre sentative to visit Portland and report on both sites. The government build ing, Alaskan building. Philippine building, Hawaiian building, forestry building and other insular buildings will be located at the same time. Mr. Dosch, who served as commissioner general for Oregon at the Chicago, Oma ha, Buffalo, Charleston, and Osaka, Japan, expositions, is director of ex hibits for the Lewis and Clark expo sition, is assured that about two-tbirds of the exhibits in the government build ing here will be taken to Portland and Mr. Doech will be requested by the board to select what exhibits he would prefer. The Portland bnilding, Mr. Doech says, will be ready November 1, and exhibits from St. Louis removed direct. Shaw Draws Canal Warrant.
