Washington, July 5.— While the officials here are satisfied from their private advices that the recent visit of King Edward to his neptiew, Emperor William, was not brought about by a purpose to initiate a movement toward the restoration of peace between Russia and Japan, there is reason to believe that some very careful and discreet in quiries as to the opportunities of some such overtures at this time have ema nated from Washington. It may be stated that the result has been to dis close the fact that neither of the bellig erents was yet in the humor to sue for peace, nor even to entertain overtures from any third power on that subject.

Washington, July 5.—Word was re ceived in Washington today to the effect that Senator Fairbanks will not resign bis seat in the senate until after the election in November. He wants to he sure of the vice presidency before relinqnishing the office he now holds. As yet, Fairbanks has made no plans for the campaign, but it is expected he will go on the stump during Sep (ember and October, particularly in doubtful states. Over $16,000 wss raised by subscrip tion pie tges from the floor of the con vention, which, with $11,000 in tbe treasury, will be the nucleus of the campaign fund. National Chairman Stewart and National Secretary Tate were re-elected. Land. Patsatctf to Railroad.

Torpedo Works Destroyed. St. Petersburg, July 5.—As a result of the leceipt of news of a fire which took place at the torpedo works at Cronstadt last night, thia city wss to night filled with the wildest rumors, including one to the effect that the Peterhof Palace had been blown up. Tbe damage at Cronstadt was con fined to the torpedo mechanism shops, which were almost wholly destroyed, together with 20 Whitehead torpedoes. Five of the torpedoes had war heads attached and they exploded, which added to the fire and the excitement. A considerable quantity of coal stored in the works was also burned. An alarm was given in time to prevent loan of life an<l more serious loss of proper ALFALFA IS TAKINd ROOT. Orest Damage Done In Morrow County Successful Results of Experiments by Orasaboppers Marion County. Heppner—Grasshoppers bv the mil lion are appearing in some localities in Morrow county. They have settled in great numbers in the Band Hollow country, a farming district about ten miles northeast of Heppner, where they are doing considerable damage. They are doing the most damage to alfalfa and the Lay crop, and in some places are taking gardens. The first crop of alfalfa, which was immense, has practically all been saved, but it is feared that very little of the second crop can be saved, owing to the ravages of the millions of these insects that have been congregating in the alfalfa fields. At Hynd Bros., a b.g ram h in Sand Hollow, they are so thick in the alfalfa that in the evening after the insects go to roost on the heads of the alfalfa plants they can be scooped up by the gallon by taking a coal oil can or bucket and rtriking through the grass. It is only the work of a short time to fill a gunny sack. Some of them caught in this way are being fed to the hogs. Along Willow rreek, where there are many alfalfa fields, the grasshoppers are numerous and doing considerable damage in some places they are attack ing wheat fields but are not doing much damage, owing to the fact that the grain is nearing maturity and is getting hard. However, thjy are stripping the green leaves from the stalks. In the wheat belt they have not appeared in sufficient numbers to cause any alarm and the damage to the wheat crop will be of little consequence. la Salem—The experiments conducted by Gilbert A Patterson in growing al falfa on one of their farms near this city seems to be very satisfactory in its results. The alfalfa was sown three years ago, on bottom land. For two seasons the crop was very light but the alfalfa is now becoming well set and seems to be a good producer. The first cutting this season yielded ten tone on three acres. The alfalfa is now a foot tall and there is every pros pect for a yield of from one to two tone per acie for the second cutting, with some fall pasturage left. Tbe dryness of the season has not yet had any ap preciable effect upon the crop. Where the alfalfa is growing there is about 12 feet of soil on top of gravel containing water. Presumably the roots of the alfalfa find their way down to the water or at any rate go deep enough so that tbe dry weather does not affect them. A number of farmers in this section of the valley are experimenting with alfalfa, and though they have difficulty in getting a start they believe that tbe ultimate results will be satisfactory and that this fodder plant will become a common product in this section of the state. The fact that it need not be resown every year or two, that it is not affected by drouth, that it can be cut before and after the usual June rains, gives it its chief value as a farm product in the valley. Lay Dust With Oil. Oregon City—Experiments that have been made on Main street with crude nil for keeping down the dust have met with succees, so elaim the city offic ials, and it is very likely that the oil will be used in the future by the city in solving the problem of fighting dust.

Pendleton—The damage to grain from the heavy rain which visited a portion of Umatilla county last week was not as extensive as at first believed. Farm ere living in sections where the tain was heaviest teport the grain lodged in many fields, but believe that most of it can be saved. John Crow, an ex tensive wheat raiser on the reservation, probably the largest loser, says his loss will reach $5,000. The country around Warren station received a se vere drer.c’iing. A number of bridges were washed out. Oem Mino Changes Hands. Baker City—Announcement is made by Mr. Frank Geiser that the old Gem mine at Sparta, one of the big produc ers of the Baker City camp, will re sume lull operations by July 10, under the direction of the Geiser-Hendryx company. The parties interested will not permit much of a statement to be made at present, but sufficient is known to make the statement that the property has been sold to the Geiser- Hendryx company.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON Salem—June has Iteen a busy month in the state land office as shown by the statement of receipts made by Clerk G. G. Brown. The rush has been due in some degree to the payment of balances on old notes and certificates of sale, which payments were demanded b) the land board some time ago and were re quired to be paid prior to July 1. The tnisinese of the office amounted to more than $1,500 a dry during June. Post of araashoppers. Pendleton—Completion of cutting of the hay crop of Butter creek and Mor row county has saved it from what would probably have been serious dam age by grasshoppers, which are more numerous than for oevsral years in the hay fields of the western part of this county and in Morrow. The first crop, however, is nearly all taken off and the pest will be unable to work serious harm. Wheat Cutting Is Commenced.
