THURSDAY, AUG. 18, J904.
Within the past week Admiral
Togo's fleet has not only met, de
feated and very badly damaged the
Russian Port Arthur fleet, but the
Vladivostok squadron has been al
most annihilated by the second
Japanese naval squadron under
command of vice-Admiral Kinii
mura, and Japan is again master
of the sea. Both the Russian
squadrons were so badly damaged
it is believed they will not be of
further service during the war
With her war vessels all on the
shelf, her armies badly demoral
ued and fort Arthur on the verge
of capitulation, it would seem there
is not much left for Russia but to
ue for peace and endeavor to pro
cure the beet terms she can under
the circumstances.

Noted Show Bull Sold.
W. 0. Minor sold, yesterday, to 3. P.
Graves, of Spokane, his pemium Short
horn bull, Belted Valentine, for $500 to
be delivered at the close of the state
fair. Mr. Minor baa made the circuit
of state fairs the past two years and
Belted Valentine has taken first prise
everywhere shown. He will take this
ball to the state fair at Salem next
month, along with eleven others of his
show herd. After the fair Valentine
will be delivered to Mr. Graves at Spo
kane. Ten of his other eleven head of
show cattle have also been sold to be
delivered at the same time, but we did
not learn to whom they were sold.
We recognize the organization of
capital and the organization of
labor aa natural outcomes of our
industrial system. Each kind
organization is to De tavorea so
long as it acts in a spirit of justice
and of regard for the rights
others. Each is to be granted the
full protection of the law, and each
in turn is to be held to a strict
obedience of the law; for no man
is above and no man below it. The
humblest individual is to have his
rights guarded as scrupulously as
those of the strongest organization
lor each is to receive justice, no
more and no less. The problems
with which we have to deal in our
modern industrial and Eocial life
are manifold; but the spirit
which it is necessary to approach
their solution is simply the spirit
of honesty, of courage, and of com
mon sense. Theodore Roosevelt.
Must Dip Sheep.
The government stock inspector re
ceived notice this week from Geo. S.
Hickok, the agent in charge of the an
imal inspection bureau at Salt Lake
City, that all sheep leaving the state
must be dipped at least once. The no
tice reads :
"Sheep that are being shipped into
other states for feeding or stock pur
poses or for breeding, must be dipped
once as exposed, and twice if infected,
in s&me of the (one) dips approved by
this bureau, and under the supervision
of a federal employe."
This order holds up a shipment of
13,000 sheep that were to have been
shipped from Pendleton this week,
While the ruling has created conster
nation among those interested in the
immediate shipment from Umatilla
countv, on account of having to hold
the animals until dipping vats are pre
pared, at a considerable loss in shrink
age, it will doubtless prove of great
benefit in the long run, as it will pre
vent the shipment into this state as
well as out of it of infected animals.
When historians write the true
story of the Japanese-Russian war
their pageB will be illumined by
accounts of some of the moBt dar
ing exploits that have ever taken
place on the high seas. There was
a skill in planning and boldness of
execution in the raids of the pirat
ical crews who sailed under the
flag of Sir Henry Morgan, bucca
neer, and also the men who "fought
with Blake and sailed with Drake."
But no coup ever executed by
these historical rovers of the seas
surpasses some of the work of the
little brown men, who are now in
flicting such telling blows on the
floating property. Fatalists to a
man, the Japanese on sea and
shore have taken chances of dis
tructhn that would never be ac
cepted by the fighters of a highly
civilized race, and by sheer audac
ity have won where more prudent
fighters would have been defeated.
The old statement that "fools rush
in where angels fear to' tread"
might be amended to include Jap
anese, for no "front" that the Rus
sians have yet put up on sea or
shore has stayed the movements of
the Japanese any more than a red
flag stays the movements of a mad
dened bull. Oregonian.
Sold 500O Sheep.
Douglas Belts has sold to Hunter A
Stevens, ' for shipment to Nebraska,
about 5000 fat mutton for immediate de
livery, says the E. O.
It appears that the buyers seem to be
gaining some slight advantages in the
contest now going on, as they paid (1.25
for old ewes and $1.65 for lambB, and
all the animals are in the finest condi
tion. These sheep are on the mountain
ranges and finer stock sheep never went
out of the state. They will be fed in
Nebraska for the Eastern markets. In
the event of a settlement of the strikes
at any time within several months and
the consequent clearing up of industrial
conditions, the purchasers of these
sheep are reasonably sure of making
big profits on the deal.
Sheep sold and shipped from this
county a few weeks ago are said to have
sold on the Chicago markets at $3 net,
a clear profit of (1 per bead, so it can be
seen what is in sight for the Nebraska
buyers if the Chicago situation turns
out favorably.

Happened at Baker.
A funny little incident occurred in
the office of one of our city attorneys
yesterday. A gentleman who bad been
married to bis wife for ten years wished
to bave deed to a tract of land made to
his wife; whereupon the lawyer pro
ceed to draw the deed "good and stout."
When be came to the place where bis
name should be inserted be turned to
the gentlemen and asked: "What is
your wife's name?" The gentleman
pondered a minute, walked across the
room once or twice and finally, after
several moments' reflection, eicla'med:
Well, I'll be darned if I know! I
lived with her for the past ten years
and never knew her by any other name
than 'Sis' " and immediately started
home to get at the fact. He soon re
turned with the requisite momorandum
copied from the family Bible, and the
real estate was forthwith deeded, con
veyed, etc.. unto said "Sis," her heirs
and assigns forever. Baker City Democrat.

What the Trap Heat Shew.
If poultrymen could be persuaded to
tise trap nests they would be surprised
to discover what difference In egg
production exists between bens from
the same flock. In the Maine experi
ment station test one White Wyan
dotte ben laid 210 eggs In a year and
another not one. Of four Plymouth
Itocks one laid six eggs and the other
three 237, 240 and 251 respectively. The
general nse of the trap nest wonld dou
ble the profits of poultry keeping with

It fa the prevailing opinion of chem

where It la practicable it la best to ap
ply manure and urine to the soil In the
freshest possible condition. The ferti
lizing constituents of well rotted ma
nure, as already explained, are more
quickly available to plants, and the
manure Itself ia less bulky and easier
to distribute. On the other hand, fresh
manure mixed with the soil readily nn-! jCjj

Guinea hens, both a useful and or
namental birds, should have a place
on every farm. The only objection
usually made against them is on ac
count of their noisy outcries. One
soon becomes acenstoroed to their pe
culiar music tnd hardly notices it or
disregards it on account of their many
desirable qualities. They are attrac
tive to the sight, amusing In their hab

flesh and eggs are considered superior
