The News From St. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg, May. 3. The general
staff account of the operations on the
Yalu river Saturday is as follows:
"At 4 o'clock this morning Japanese
field batteries and 47 guns opened a
terrific fire on our position at Turen-
chen and our troops near Potientensky.
"The overwhelming superiority of
the Japanese in artillery and the heavy
losses their fire inflicted on our troops
occupying these positions made it clear
to General Sassuhtch that it was im
possible to hold Turenchen. Conse
quently t'.ie troops were ordered to re
tire from Turenchen while still holding
tne rotientensky road.
"when General Sassulitch dis
patched his telegram the Russian
troops were retiring in good order from
turenchen and Schakhedzky to their
second position, and the battle was

Togo Wants No More Raids Made by the
Vladivostok Squadron.
St. Petersburg, May 3. A dispatch
received here from Viceroy Alexieff
says:
"The continued presence of the Jap
anese squadron off Vladivostok has con
vinced the authorities that Vice Ad
miral logo has taken to heart the sharp
lesson taught him through his failure
to consider the possibilities of mischief
by the formidable Ruswian division at
that port, and is now seeking means to
stop furthei raiding operations in the
Sea of Japan. It is evident that as
soon as the Japanese were informed of
the operation of the Russians inCoresn
waters, the government instructed Vice
Admiral Togo to dispatch a strong
squadron and send it to Vladivostok to
cut on the Russian ships and confine
tbem to the harbor so they could do
no further damage. The former pur
pose failed, owing to the celerity of
Rear Admiral Yezsan's movements."
While there is no expectation that
Kear Admiral Yezsan will risk an en
counter with a superior force by put
ting to sea, even on a raiding expedi
tion, it is said he is a bold, careful
commander and will spring surprises
upon the Japanese.

subdue the flames, worked frantically
to save what they could from the stores
in the path of the conflagration.
The work of salvage accomplished,
there was nothing for the people to do
bat look on while the fire ate itself
out, although efforts were made by the
volunteer fire brigade which resulted
in finally extinguishing the flames
when they had died down sufficiently
to De nana iea oy tne nre ngnting ap
paratus at hand.
The loss is this afternoon estimated
at (900,000. How much of that
amount will fall as a loss is not yet
known, but it is asserted that the
merchants were fairly well insured,
and that as a consequence the insurance
companies will lose heavily.
Fernie is a town of 3,500 to 4,000
inhabitants, the population being to a
large extent composed of coal minert
and those dependent upon that indus
try.
The head offices of the Crow's 'Nest
Pass coal company are located at
Fernie, and the company is a heavy
loser.

and Cockran, each ot whom was in his
scat.
Ilemenway find.) called up the con
ference report on the general deciflency
bill. The report was unanimously
adopted, and the bouse then proceeded
to the consideration ot the conference
report on the suudiy civil appropria
tion bill. On a yea and nay vote.
the report was adopted, 138 to 129.
Uverstreet (Ind) called up the con
ference report on the postolllce appro
priation bill and explained it was a
complete agreement of the conferees.
The report, said Moon (Tenn.) the
ranking minority member ot the post
office committee, was in the spirit ot
compromise. He declared, however,
that the appropi iatiou of (45.000 to
the Oceanic Steamship company for car
rying the mail to Tahiti was a pure
gift, because of the fact that it cost the
government (0.50 for every pound of
mail sairied to that island. The reso
lution was adopted,
The house then resumed considera
tion of the bill requiring the employ
ment of vessels of the United States for
the transportation of supplies for the
army and navy.

until 9 o clock tonight.
V hen the house reconvened,- Burton
(O.) presented the conference report
on the emergency river and harbor
bill. It was adopted without debate.

up, and Lucking (Mich.) offered two
amendments to the bill, one providing
that no greater charge shall be made
by vessels referred to in the bill for the
transportation ot supplies ot the army
and navy than are made by such ves
sels for like goods of private parties or
companies, and the other restricting
the traansportation to ships manned by
American sailors as against those
msnned by Mongolians. The amend
menta of Lucking were disagreed to,
and a test vote showing a majority for
the bill, the Democrats forced a roll
call on the adoption of the previous
question.
The previous question was ordered
by a strict party vote and the house
passed the shipping bill 123 to 98.
WILL EX Afll NB ALASKA FORESTS.
Expert Is to Ascertain Whether Reserve
Should Be Created.
Wsshington, April 30. W. A.Lang
ville, an expert in the bureau of for
estry left for Alaska today, where he
will remain throughont the summer

visability of creating additional forest
reserves. About two years ago a forest
reserve was created to embody most of
the islands of the Alexander archipels
go. It has since been reported to the
government that other, islands in the
group and part of the mainland should
be added to this reserve.
Langville's early work will be con
fined to this region, and on his report
the department will determine whether
the Alexander forest reserve shall be
enlarged. Later in the season he will
proceed to Norton sound, where, on
August 5, last, the secretary of the in
terior temporarily withdrew about 6,
000 square miles, with a view to creat
ing a permanent reserve. The govern

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
SCHOOL MONEY LENT.
Four Million Dollars Are Now Drawing
Interest at 6 Per Cent.
Salem The state 'of Oregon now has
(4,000,000 ot school funds drawing in
terest at an average ot 6 per cent. This
Is the largest sum the state ever had
rawing interest and it represents the
limit ot the Irreducible school fund, for
number of years hence, at leaBt. The '
revenue from this fund will be about
i
ztv,uuu per year, ami irom mis me
expenses of running the state land de-
partmnet must lie paid, amounting to
less than (10,000 per year, leaving
bout (230,000 to be distributed an
nually among the counties ot the state
upon the basis of school population.
The apportionment this year will lie
reduced somewhat by reason of repay
ments ot interest received from pur
chasers ot land where the title failed.
Ot this total of (4,000,000, about
(3,500,000 Is in the form of loans and
500,000 is in the form of deterred
payments on sales ot school land. Of
the loans, (3,250,000 is out on real es-1
tate mortgage securities paying 6 per
cent Interest, The other (250,000 is
invested in school district bonds bear-
ng 6 per cent interest. The (500,000
due on sales ot land is drawing interest
at 6 and 7 pur cent. An average rate
ot interest on the whole (4,000,000, is
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 the 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 careful to accent
only gilt edge security, and it is believ
ed there is not a loan outstanding that
would show a loss even it hard times
should bring about a decline in real
estate values.

Experiment With Small Fry In the Big
Astoria Reservoir.
Astoria During September, 1002,
Fish Warden Van Dusen secured
number of small salmon that had been
kept in fresh water for several months
and placed them in the Astoria reser
voir. Kecently the reservoir was
emptied for the purpose of cleaning it
and the fish were taken out by Deputy
WeliBter. The largest of the fish was
only abcut 15 inches in length, show
ing conclusively that the salmon need
salt water to develop them.
The effect ot this experiment will be
to overthrow the theory that the salmon
try should be kept in fresh water as
long as possible before being turned out
and permitted to make their way to sea
Planting of Sugar Beets.
La Giande F. 8. Brartwell, field
superintendent ot the La Grande sugar
factory, staets that the present pros
pects tor a Urge acreage of sugar beets
are very flattering. The total beet
acreage 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 Umatil
county in the matter ol growing sugar
beets. Seeding is in progress in every
section of the county, although foot
hill ranchers are a little behind.
School Loans Approved.
BaUm Th state land board has ap
proved applications for loans from the
school fund to th amount of (100,000.
These are the applications thst were
pending when it wss announced recent
ly that the idle surplus will soon bo
placed out at interest. Even when the
silt plus hss been lent, there will be funds
available from time to time as those who
have borrowed in the past make repay
ment or purchasers of school lsnd pay
their annual installments.
Canner to Use Oil for Fuel.
Astoria Several of the canneri and
cold storsg men have decided to nse
crude oil in place of wood tor fuel in
their plants. Contracts hsve been
mad (oi oil at 00 cent a barrel, with
the guarantee that 2 barrels of oil
will equal a cord ot the best fir wood.
As the latter now sells at (4.25 per
cord, th change will effect quite a sav
ing in the fuel bills.
OKliOON CREAM STANDS TEST.
Condensed Product Adapted to Oriental
and Alaskan Use.
lllllsboro The directors of the Ore
gon Condensed Milk company, ot thin
city, and who manufacture the Oregon
Grape brand of evaporated cream, have
received word from the Keny-ciar
company, exporters of evaporated
cieams to Alaska and the Urltmt, that
.the recent test by the Holman refriger
ator company, subjecting this cream to
extreme heat and cold, has been vciy
successful.
The cream, in cans, was subjected to
a heat ranging from 118 to 160 degrees,
and several cans were frown in a solid
block ot 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 ol great interest to
shippers, as both these fields draw
heavily from Oregon for export cream.
The Hillsboro factory is the largest
west ot the Mississippi river, and wan
the first established in Oregon, and
this recent test establishes the manu
facture ot evaporated cream as a suc
cessful and permanent enterprise.
