M clilla, Aug. 25.— General Marina,
commander o f tko Spanish forces, said
today that he planned to assume the of
fenaive within ten days. I t is evident
that he feels keenly his responsibility,
knowing that far more depends upon
the next movement that the actual sue
cess or failure o f the m ilitary opera
tions against the Moors.
The events o f the next fe w weeks
here may fix the fa te o f the Spanish dy
nasty. A reverse might prove fatal;
lieuco General Marina is leaving noth
ing to chance. When he moves he will
be at the head o f a fqjrce so strong that
the R iffs cannot by any possible means
win a victory in the open.
M elilla and the railway have been
converted into a veritable fortress and
it would require an army with a siege
train and modern ordnance to capture

Everything now turns on the con

this fails, the task o f the Spaniards will
be greater, us all the supplies must be
brought by land and exposed to Moorish
attacks.
Since the earthquake o f 1894 closed
the exit to the sea, the water at M ar
chica has evaporated and receded. By
rdbpening the channel, the Spaniards
hope to raise it to the former lovel,
making it navigable fo r transports. The
success o f this will cnuble General M a
rina to feed the army by w ay of the
sea.
Many feel that a litte more dash to
fl.v, enterprise would have been advisi-
ble, but tho memory o f P in to ’s roverse
appears to have sunk deep into the
gen eral’s mind.
' The fact that no attempt is permitted
to dislodge the enemy has resulted in
more daring tactics on the part o f the
Moors each dny, which might bo

University of Oregon, Eugene— The
second year of the correspondence study
department of the University o f Ore
gon has just closed with an enrollment
of more than 350 students. This is a
material increase over the number en
rolled last yesr, and there is hardly a
county of the state not represented
among the students.
In all respects the results of the work
of the past year have been most satis
factory, and the plans for the coming
year include expansion in all depart
ments.
Dr. Herman Burr Leonard, o f the de
partment of mathematics, who has had
a number of years’ connection with cor
respondence schools in the East, and
who has been very successful in his cor
respondence courses in mathematics at
the university during the past two
years, has been put in general charge
of all correspondence work.
He will
be assisted in the office work by Miss
Mazelie Hair, formerly an instrutor in
the department of English literature,
and the work in the field will be in
charge of Professor L. R. Alderman.
Plans for the coming year include sev
eral courses each in the departments of
mathematics, English literature, Eng
lish composition, botany, history, edu
cation, economics, mechanical drawing
and phyBics, and an enrollment of 500
tudents is expected. The correspond
ence study work will begin in Septem
ber.

Salem.— W ork has been started on
the system o f sewerage authorized by
the last legislature for the state fair,
and the fa ir grounds wil present a busy
scene to visitors until the fa ir opens on
Monday, September 13. Besides 35 con
victs employed on the grounds, Secre
tary Frank Welch had advertised that

an hour. A 22-inch sewer will be laid
from the fair grounds through north Sa
lem to the site o f the new D eaf Mute
school, where the state board o f agri
culture will co operate with the state
board o f education in the completion
o f tho project. The sewer will run from
the D eaf Mute school, thence to tho
river about one mile and a half from
the fa ir grounds.
Tho sewer fo r the fa ir grounds was
almost demanded by the state board
o f health. Besides benefiting the state
institutions, for which it was primarily
constructed to serve, it w ill g ive the
city o f Salem additional needed sewer
age, and those property owners who
have donated right of way w ill be p riv
ileged to use the sewer.
A mammoth entrance is being built
which gives the grounds this year a
more imposing appearance from the out-
Hide. Several new buildings are under
course o f construction that w ill give
more room fo r the display o f exhibits.
A ll the work is under contract to be
finished by September 13, at which
time the fa ir is billed to open for one
week.
The entries are beginning to
come in, and the office force at the fa ir
grounds is swamped with work attend

w ill easily surpass all previous exhibi

That was all, without even a signa
ture.
I was in two minds as to what to do.
I could nog disappoint hsr without seem

myself down once and for all as no gen
tleman, and yst the sight of her note
roused much of my sleeping resentment.
I f I went, I would at !*t*t show her that
two could play at her game.
I visited the larder and decided on s
menn. Then I startled Charles half out
of hia senses, though to hie credit be it
said he never showed It. "You will peck
these things” — I pointed out certain pro
visions— "In the wheelbarrow, end take

the table on the deck. I am going to
take tuppsr there with a lady at 8. You
can leave the iced tea In a bottle. Have
the supper ready at a quarter before the
hour, and then leave. W e will not re
quire any service.’’
"Yea, Mr. Felix,” eald Charles, sedate
ly. I frowned as though tha whole pro
ceeding bored me, and returned to my
work.
As half past 5 I dressed carefully and
left the house. As I walked up the beach
I could not help but contrast this sunny
scene with the night of the storm. What
ever that night had brought to Alastair,
It was clear I was not to know much
about it.
I waited on the ahore until Mias Gra
ham appeared, and crossed the path with
her to the Ship. I pulled the short rope-
ladder over the side and helped her on
board. W e beheld a »upper table Immac

saw how very pleased she was. More
over, I was the host, and ehe my guest,
and I could not cast a shadow over my
own feast. I tried, therefore, as beet I
could, to forget Islip and the locket, and
to think only of what a beautiful late
afternoon It was, of how frysh the smell
of the sea came to the old Ship's decks,
and of the beauty of the girl who eat
across from me. I think she detected
that at first I was making an effort, and
so tried to help me, for she was very
lively and talkative, making much rport
of the eupper, all the course» of which
were apread before us at once, and of
our having to wait upon ourselves.
When we had finished supper, I asked
Miss Graham's permission to light a cig
arette, and pushed my chair a little back
from the table. There was a new moon
In the sky, and I pointed It out to her.
"This is the finest hour of the day,”
I Bald. “ I f only the Ship would up an

“ I f your pirate doesn’t come now, just

Her playful words, combined" with the
Ingenuous voice and the far-away, child-
