HRGEY SCIO OREGON New York, June 1.—Seven freight ."■nd coal piers of the Delaware, ljtcka- wanna & Western railroad in Jersey City were destroyed today by a fire that started on the barge Allen C. Churchill, which lay alongside pier 12, on which a lot of barrels cf oil were stored. The loss is estimated at $1,- 000,000. The flames spread iapidly. Pier 12 was 800 feet long and was soon ablaze its entire length, and the fire men who were trying to fight the fire from the shore were able to accomplish but little. The flames swept ac.ioss to pier 11 and beyond, lieing finally checked at. pier 5, which is a new coal trestle, steel-framed and iron-clad. Here the firemen and fireboats made a despeiate stand and stayed the advance of the fire until the burning piers crumbled and fell into the water. Although there was little wind, sparks fell all along the water-front foi nearly a mile, endangering the Lacka wanna station and even the Hamburg- American and Bremen line piers, where the firemen were kept busy playing streams of water upon the blaze and over the ships at their docks. A number of canal boats and several tugs were burned, the loss of small boats being variously estimated at from 30 to 200. The number of freight cars is not known, but the lose on this class of rolling stock will be heavy. The Lackawanna road moved its passenger coaches out to the Meadows, and one train of freight cars was moved out and saved. Piers 11 and 12 were full of general merchandise; piers 7, 8, 9 and 10 were used for coal and pier 6 was a grain loading pier. No person was Beriously injured. Vice-President Loomis, of the Lacka wanna, placed the total I obs by the fire at $5,000,000, based on the original cost of the piers burned, on the freight stoied on them and to some extent the loss of business which must necessarily ensue. It also includes the burning of the canal boats and barges thickly moored between some of the piers. The Lackawanna company carries its own insurance.

Hayashi, Japan ese minister to Corea, has notified the ioreign office that the Japanese military authorities are constantly complaining that telegraphic communication with General San is frequently interrupted. The Japanese military authorities sus pect that the country people are cut ting the linee at various unfrequented places. M.

Japan Wants Reply Soon. London, June 1.—The Standard's Tientsin correspondent telegraphs that Uchida, the Japanese minister at Pe kin, lias demanded an immediate reply to the inquiry previously sent to the Wai-Wa-Pu as to whether China is prepared to hold and administer the territory the Japanese have conquered, adding that otherwise Japan must ap peal to other powers to undertake the responsibility at the expense of China. Minister Uchida has notified the Chi nese government at Pekin that Port Arthur will soon be captured. Kept Long In Close Quarters.

EUQENE (JETS THE FAIR. Million and a Half Pounds Change Handl Douglas County la Pacified With a Cash at Hrppner Sal«. Bonus of $SOO. Heppner—The first wool salesdav in Heppner as ananged by the Oregon Woolgrowers’ association resulted in 1,500,000 pounds of wool changing hands, bringing to the growers a little over $202,000. Thia is by far the larg est sale ever made in a single day in Heppner, and from every point of view was very satisfactory. Previous condi tions this year have been discouraging to the sheepmen and the industry in general, owing to the bad sheep mark et, but these wool sales added so much encouragement that there is a diffeient feeling, not only among the growers but in all lines of business, for the sheep is a prominent factor in the bus iness affairs of Morrow county. For almost every lot of wool offered, the growers received more than they expected. The average price received was about cents per pound, which is fully a cent better than received last year, owing to a better quality of wool, this being caused by the open winter and favorable spring, causing slight shrinkage and good staple. The early grass caused sheep to take on flesh and the fleeces were heavy, many flocks averaging a pound more to the cheep than last year. The advance in price and the increased weight of the fleeces has added thousands of dollars to the pocketbooks of the prosperous sheep- growers. The sales will take out about half of the wool which will lie handled in the Heppner market. It is estimated that about ] ,500,000 pounds yet remain in the hands of the growers in this terri tory. Other sak-sdays have been ar ranged for June 8 and 23, to be held here for the sale of this wool. The sealed-bid method in which salesdays are designated when a num ber of growers and buyers can get to gether, was inauguiated three yearB ago. The bids of ths buyers are placed in a bat, the highest offer taking the clip, if the grower desires to accept it. This method has been very successful, there having been but very few private sales. BIOQRST SAWMILL ON COAST. To Be Brected at Astoria by Hammond and Other Interest*. Astoria—Negotiations are said to lie in progress whereby the interest of A. B Hammond and the Seaside lumber company in the southern and western portion of this county are to be united and the largest sawmill on the coast is to be erected. The lumber company is composed of wealthy Eastern men, who own a large tract of spruce timber in the Necanicum district. Mr. Ham mond also bas extensive interests in that seition, and by combining the two sufficient timber is available to keep, a large mill in operation for many years. Unquestionably the closing of this deal would mean the extension of the Astoria A Columoia River railroad south to Tillamook. New State Orange Officer*.

Baker City—At a mass meeting of citizens held here it was resolved to organize a fair association for the pur pose of providing a race traça and grounds for the Eastern Oregon District Fair,.wjiicii will be held here this fall. There was a large number of prominent citizens present, and most of whom signified their intention to subscribe liberally for the stock of the associa tion. Two years ago the district fair was a failure here because there was no race track and no suitable buildings for the accommodation of exhibits. Push Work on ths Creamery. Two Divisions of Fleet. La Grande—Work on the new cream ery trick building on Elm street is be ing pushed. The structure will l>e resdy for occupation in about two weeks. 8. L. Hunter of Union has the contract. This will be the third at tempt to establish a creamery in this city. The building is 40x50 feet, and will be supplied with the latest im proved machinery.

The dynamos, the only part of her machinery seriously damaged, will be changed. Pendlton—The scouring mills got under way with night and day shifts last week, and will run full time until the wool clip is exhausted. Thirty-six hands are employed in all. Washing ton wool has been coming in for several days. Scouring Mills Operate. Eugene—H. L. Traver, F. A. Rankin and J. M. Williams have returned from Roseburg, where they were suc cessful in securing the location of the next exhibit of the Second Southern Oregon District Agricultural society at Eugene. There has been a etrong de sire to have the fair here again this fall, and the local directors have been working for some time with that end in view. Douglas county at first ob jected on the ground that they were still in debt $2,000 on their grounds at Roseburg, which they hoped to be able to raise if they had the fair there. At a meeting it was arranged that the fair should come to Eugene this year and that Douglas receive from Lane county $500 bonus, and also that two new directors will be chosen from this part of the district to succeed those from Douglas county, who soon retire. Reservation Land For Sale. Oregon City—The Oreogn City land office has been authorized by the inter ior department to offer for sale town ships 5 and 6, ranges 7 and 8 west, in the Grand Ronde Indian reservation. The sale will be made by separate sealed bids, which will be received be tween August 1 and August 8, and opened at 1 o’clock p. m. August 8. Each bid is to be accompanied by a certified cheek for 20 per cent of the amount bid, the same to be credited on the purchase price anil the balance paid on establishing his citizenship. Sheep Hurry In Early. Japanese Paid Doarly tor Kinchou vic tory-2,000 Russians Killed. Tokio, May 31.—The Japanese casu alties at Nan Shan are now estimated at 3,500. The number of Russian guns captured exceed 70. White Japan paid heavily for her victory she scored a sweeping and val uable victroy over the Russians, in cap turing 57 guns, clearing the way to Port Arthur and inflicting losses on the Russians, which, in the end, are ex pected to total 2,000 men. It is doubtful if the Russians will stand again north of Port Arthur. They retired from the field beaten, and they failed to rally at Nan Quan Ling, where it was anticipated a second stand would be made. The desperate onslaughts of the Jap anese on the heights of Nan Shan were telling, fur the Russians left 300 dead in the trenches there. A complete search of the field is expected to show a greater number of dead. Nan Quan Ling was occupied yester day morning by a force of infantry, ar tillery and engineers under the com mand of General Nakamura. The main Japanese force spent Friday night billeted in the villages around Nan Shan. The soldiers were greatly fa tigued as a result of the constant fight ing, but they entered with much spirit upon the new operations. A force fo Russians held San Chi Li Pu station, which is northwest of Dal ny, but the Japanese drove them out. The Russians abandoned and burned the station and retreated in the direc tion of Port Arthur. The estimates of the Russians engag ed in the defense of Kinchou, Nan Shan hill and the south shore of Talienwan bay vary, but it is evident that the Russians drew for men from the forces at Port Arthur and offered all the resist ance possible. It is understood here that Lieutenant General Stoessel, com mander of the military forces at Port Arthur, was in personal command of the recent < p nations.
