TO SMOTHER BILL.
Mouse Committee Will Prevent Passage
of Land Reforms.
Washington, March 22. Convinced
that congress will not, at the present
session, amend the public land laws in
a way to shut off fraudulent operations,
as recommended by the public lands
commission, the interior department
has determined to take advantage of
the present laws, and to construe them
in such way as to minimize fraud.
Early in the session hope was enter
tained that the timber and stone act
would be modified or repealed, and the
lieu land law robbed of its vicious
features, but there now appears to be
no chance of securing remedial legist
tion of this character. In fact, it
turns out that the Quarles bill repeal
ing the timber act and authorising the
sale of public timber to the highest
bidder, was only passed through the
senate after a deal had been made with
influential members of the house com
mittee on public lands to smother this
measure when it reached them.
The same fate awaits the Mondell
bill, modifying the lieu land law, if it
passes the house and reaches the senate
committee.
Under the present liw, timber en
tries as well as lieu selections, can be
made only of surveyed land. It ap
pears from land office records that the
most valuable surveyed timber lands in
the West have now been taken up, but
in order to get that which remains un-
surveyed, speculators and holders of
scrip have been endeavoring to have
virgin lands surveyed. It is a rule of
the department that no township shall
be surveyed until its survey is asked for
by at least three bona fide settlers on
lands within that township. In a
number of instances in Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho applications have
been recnetly made for the survey of
heavily timbered townships, the per
sons making the request representing
themselves as bona fide settlers. Up
on examination, the department finds
that in three out of four cases the men
asking for survevs are not residing on
lands for which surveys are asked, but
have merely erected crude huts, which
they point to as "improvements."
The huts are not only uninhabitable
but are unoccupied, consequently re
quests ior surveys are denied.
FLEETS TO JOIN.
Russia Plans a Rode Awakening for
the Japanese.
St. Petersbuig, March 22. The
whereabouts of the Vladivostok squad
ron is a profound official secret, but
there are those here who believe the
Japanese may wake np some morning
to hnd that thee two divisions of Rus
sia's Pacific squadron have perfected a
juncture. It is betraying no confidence
to state that both the admiralty and
vice Admiral JUakaroir, before be left for
the Far East, regarded the fact that
the divisions were separated as most
unfortunate for Russia's chances of suc
cess at sea. Realizing that offensive
naval operations are impossible under
present conditions, it is believed no
opportunity will be neglected to repair
this Initial misfortune, even should it
involve considerable risk.
Consequently the report that seven
Russian warships were sighted the oth
er day t ff the Gensan creates much
speculation here as to whether they
could be the vessels of the cruiser divi
sion under Captain Reitzenstein. The
number of ships sighted apparently
does not tally with that of the Vladi
vostok division, which properly consist
ed of four fast cruisers and the trans
port Lena.
It is learned, however, that the out
break of hostitities found two ships of
the volunteer cruiser fleet at Vladivo
stok, and there is reason to believe that
these have since been fitted out with
guns taken from mountain batteries.
It is therefore possible that the ships
sighted were those of Captain Reitzen
stein, whose object, if he ventured so
far down the coast, could hardly be
anything except to slip into Port Arth
ur. If this is true, it is calculated that
the squadron must havealraedy run the
gauntlet of the Corea strait and be very
close to Port Arthur.
Must Stay Hand of Turkey.
Paris March 22. It is the expectation
in official quaters that Prance and the
other signatories of the Berlin treaty
will unite in emphatic representaitons
to Turkey against the carriyng out of
th esultan's plans for the suppression
and probable extermination of a con
siderable portion of the Armenians.
The government is in possession of
much information showing the nature
of the troubles and Turkey! intention
in dealing with them. This informa
tion shows that some reports of the
atrocities have gone too far.
America May Decide.
Panama, Marh 22, The monetary
question is arousing much discussion
here. The partisans of the gold stan
dard apparently have a majority in
the nationalist assembly, but the most
conservative element favors a system
under which two silver dollars shall be
equal to one gold dollar. It is lielieved
that the opinion of the United Stales
may decide the matter, as the adoption
of the gold standard would double the
expense of constructing the canal.

London, March 21. The Standard's
TienTsin correspondent anys that Faul
Lessar, Russian minister to China, has
renewed his protest against the dis
patch of Chinese forces outside the
great wall and has intimated that un
less they are withdrawn, Russia may
be compelled to act on the assumption
that China is abandoning her neutrali
ty in favor of Japan. The minister is
also reported to have renewed his
threat that on the slightest movement
on China's part, Russian troops will
march on Pekin. It ia'said that in re
ply to this, the correspondent adds,
China refused to recall her troops.
There are vague rumors of unsuccess

SUNK BY LINER.
British Submarine Boat Run Down and
Her Crew Lost.
Portsmouth, England, March 21.
British submarine boat No. "A-l" was
run down and sunk off the Nab light
ship today by a Donal Curry liner and
11 persons were drowned, including
Lieutenant Mansergh, the senior officer
engaged in the submarine work. The
liner passed on and reported that "she
had struck a torpedo.
At the time she was struck the sub
marine boat was off the lightship en
gaged in the maneuvers, and was lying
in seven fathoms of water waiting the
approach of a battleship. The boat
was one of the newest of the fleet of
submarine vessels and was built from
the latest models, but she had always
been a bad diver. She was inspected
recently by both King Edward and the
Prince of Wales.
The name of the liner w hich struck
the submarine boat is the Berwick
Castle, from East London, South Af
rica. The loss of the boat was not
known for several hours after the
liner had reported to the manuevering
fleet that she had struck a torpedo.
The officers of the liner say that they
saw a glistening torpedo like shape in
the water, and it is supposed, there-
lore, that the submarine boat rose just
before she was struck. There is no
donbt that all the members of the crew
died in the steel tube. It is thought
that the Berwick Castle, in striking,
upset the trim of the boat and spilled
the gasoline in tbo tanks, rendering
her helpless. The crew was battened
down and muh have met death from
suffocation in the absense of air and
owing to the fumes.
GREAT INSURANCE TRUST.
Fire Companies Will Have Uniform RaUs
In All Cities.
Philadelphia, March 19. The In
quirer tomorrow will say the National
Board of Fire Insurance Underwriters,
at a meetingg held in New York City
today, came to an agreement by w hich
all fire insurance companies in this
country and all foreign companies rep
resented here will form a combination.
Uniform rates, esys the Inquirer, are
to be fixed for the same class of risks
in all cities, uniform legislation in all
states and cities is to lie advocated, and
all technical work of all the companies
is hereafter to be done by a central
board, instead of local, state or city
boards, as has been the custom.
Old insurance men state this is the
first time the companies have been able
to agree upon plana, although the stile
ject has been frequently jiorjiosed.
A special committee ot seven was ap
pointed at the New York meeting to
carry out the plans, and an assessment
made upon each company 'doing busi
ness in this country to make up a fund
of (100,000 annually to carry on the
work.

thousand bricklayers and laborers, and
atout 2.000 ironworkers are on at, ilea

at once the strike probably w ill spread
until about 100.000 men are involved
The employers, considering it improb-
aoie that any settlement will m
reached, are preparing for the strike
which tliev think will follow. V..,.
bers of other unions who will be out of
work because they cannot proceed with
building without the bricklayers, aie
said to be Indignant.
Cuba Authorized to Mako Loan.
Havana, March 21. It is said here
that Speyer A Co., ot New York, re
cently interrogated the United Sutes
government as to whether the Cuban
loan of (35,000,000 for the payment of
the revolutionary war veterans was
satisfactory to it and In accordance
with the terms of the Paltt amend
ment. The reply received, it Is said,
was to the effect that Cuba was entirely
authorized to cum the business In ac
Cordanro with the contract.
President Signs Supply Bill.
Washington, March 21, The presi
dent today signed the legislative, exec
utive and judicial appropriation bill.
This la the second of the big supply
bills to become a law.
OOOD SUM TO FAIR.
Mouso Commltte- Will Favor 1700,000
Appropriation.
Washington, March 19. The house
subcommittee on industrial arts and
expositions today favorably reported a
substitute for the Iwia and Clark ex
position bill, recently passed by the
senate, carrying a total appropriation
of 1450,000. The substitute bill con
templates the expenditure of (260,000
for a government exhibit, $75,000 tor
the eretcibn of a government building,
(175,000 for the erection of buildings
for the Alaska, Philippine, Hawaiian,
Oriental and Oceanic exhibits, and
(250,000 for an Alaska exhibit, in ad
dition to amounts heretofore appropri
ated for the Alaska exhibit at St.
Louis.
At its next meeting, the full com
mittee will consider the substitute bill,
and may possibly add an appropriation
for a forestry building.
In addition to making provision for
the various buildings and the govern
ment and Alaska exhibits, the substi
tute bill provides for free admission of
foreign articles imported for exhibit
purposes, and creates a government
board to collect, install and care for
the government exhibit, as was done
at St. Louis and authorizes, in connec
tion with the government exhibit, a
fish commission exhibit and a life sav
ing station.
The subcommittee will further re
port in favor of authorizing the coin
age of 250,000 souvenir gold dollars,
which are to be coined at such times
jand in such quantities as the expo
sition authorities may desire. These
coins are to be sold to the exposition
corporation at part and may, by them
be sold at a premium of (1 each, thus
enabling the exposition to increase its
earnings.
While 'the subcommttee made no
recommendaton as to Sunday closing
of the exposition, it is expected that
the full committee will amend the sen
ate bill by striking out the Piatt Sun
day closing amendment, and leave the
matter entirely in the control of the
state.
Chairman Tawney, speaking of the
subcommittee's report, says that an ap
propriation of (450,000 for Portland is
equvalent to an appropriation of ((100,
000 or (700,000 at any other expo
sition, as Portland will enjoy the ad
vantage of having many of its exhibits
already collected, requiring only tran
shipment from St. Louis. lie says
Portland will have a better government
exhibit than Buffalo had for (300,000,'
and should also have as fine if not finer
exhibit from Alaska, the Philippines
and the Orient than will be made at
St. Louis this year.
PRESERVB FUR SBAL INDUSTRY.
Senate Dealres President to Negotiate
Wltb Britain for Change in Ruloa.
Washington, March 19. After elimi
nating all but three sections of Senator
Dillinghams' Alaskan seal bill, the
senate committee on foreign relations
has authorized Senator Foraker to
make a favorable report on the meas
ure. The bill as originally introduced
was practically the same as had been
presented in the house by Representa
tive Tawney, of Minnesota. The first
scetion of the bill prohibited the kill
ing of male fur seals on the Pribyloff
group of seal islands, except 6,500 to
be used as food for the natives of the
islands, and this was stricken out by
the committee.
As passed, the bill provides that
the president of the United States shall
negotiate with Great Biitain foi a re
vision of the rules and regulations
which now govern the taking of fur
seals in the ojien waters of the North
Paeific ocean and Reining sea, pursu
ant to the treaty articles of award of
the Behring sea tribunal of arbitration
made at Paris, August 16, 1893.
The revision of the regulations is for
the purpose of restoring and' preserving
the fur seal industrysnd to abate the
killing of nursing mother seals on the
high seas.
It is provided also that the president
shall endeavor to conclude negotiations
with the governments of Russia and
Japan for the purpose of securing their
areement to any satinfuctory (-vision of
the rules that may le had.
Only Settlers Can Remain.
Washington, March 19 Senator An
keny and Representative Jones today

Bunn, of I lie Northern Pacific railway,
stating that his company Intends to
deal liberally with bona fide settlers on
the lands within the "overlap" limits,

preme court. Settlers who settled

homes thereon, will lie permitted, un
dor the act of 1808, to retain title.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
INDUSTRIES AT NORTH BEND.
Box Factory Under Construction-Mills
Rushed With Orders.
North Bend Construction work will
begin at once on a box factory hero to
manufacture 15,000,000 feet of spruce
timber per year into boxes. The plant
Is being installed by San Francisco cap
italists. It will cost (5.500 and em
ploy 75 men. The product will le
shipped to California and Eastern
markets in the form of shook s.
George L. Bickel, of Portland, and
E. J Seeley, of Albany, have begnu
work on a condensed milk plant, the
building to be 70x90 feet, and will in
stall their own can making machinery.
Forty people will be employed. The
owners expect to double the capacity
of the factory whenever the milk sup
ply wilt warrant the step. At present
they have85,000 pounds per day en
gaged, with a vast extent ot fertile
dairy lands yet to be heard from. The
sites for both these industiies have
been donated by L. J. Simpson, and in
each instance the enterprising citizens
of the town have subscribed a handsome
sash subsidy.
Mill No. 1 of the Simpson lumber
company now has on hand for imme
diate delivery orders for CO business
and residence buildings, all of the bet
ter class, many of them 1 1 cost several
thousand dollars each. Plans are now
being prepared for a modern hotel
building three stories in height and to
contain 80 rooms. Construction will
begin on this at an early date. The
large lumber mills of the Simpson lum
ber company are running full blast and
although their capacity has been large
ly increased, they are still unable to
fill orders ss fast as received.
The North Bend woolen mills ami
the sash and door factory are also in
full operation and the pay roll com
bined is over (25,000 er month. A
foundry and machine shop is now lie
ing erected and will be an up-to-date
plant in every respect. Machinery is
ordered and now on the way, and the
company expects to be ready for buei-
nesa within 60 days.
HAINES CREAMERY COMPLETED.
Plant Is tp-to-Date In Every Particular
-A Credit to the Iowa.
La Grande The new creamery at
Haines la now practically completed
and in running order, and is without
doubt one of the best eqiupped institu
tions of its kind in Eastern Oregon.
The main building is 24x40 feet, and
built in a substanial manner. A good
sized engine room adjoins the building
on the north side and a refrigerator
8x14 feet is being constructed in one
corner for storing butter in warm
weather.
The capacity of this plant will 1
1,000 pounds of high grade butter tier
day, but is not running at its full ca
pacity at present. The operation of
the plant is under the management of
E. I). Severance, and W. J. Harlow
has charge of the butter making. The
machinery is all up-to-date and they
have a 0-horsepower boiler, a Victor
combined churn and worker with a ca
pacity of 600 pounds of butter at one
churning.
Fcbo Beets Mature Early.
Echo The preparation of ground for
the Tilantinit of beets bv the Amalira-
r "l
mated sugar company is well under
way here and planting will all lie over
here lieforn work is begun in the Grand
Ronde alley. The company is anxi
ous to get in a large crop here, for they
say that beets will mature here from
two to three weeks earlier than at la
Grande, and this will enable them to
run the sugar factory there just that
much longer each year. They offer
the same price here for beets as they
pay at the factory.
Co-Operative Creamery That Pays.
Oregon City The year 1903 was a
prosperous one for tbe ('tear Creek
creamery company, a co-oiierative but
ter making institution that is located
on the Clackamas river a few miles
from this city. In the 12 months this
plant manufactured 4 1 ,201 pounds of
butter. This pioduct netted the pat
rons an average for the year of 29 cents
per pound for his butter at the cream
ery or 24 rents when his cream was
called for. The cost of making the but
ter was 2 cents per pound. The
business Is increasing.
