HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
IR81QATIO.N BY POWER.

OmoBm Eagta Um4 tor Piunptag a
fatter Ora.
Baker City A novel plan ia thU
section is being adopted here to reclaim
the arid land lying a tew milea east
of town.
A few weeks ago W. J. Patterson and
associates sold 780 acres of this land to
Wisconsin men, who immediately be
gin clearing it of sage brush. When
this was completed a steam plow ran
by a traction engine was placed in op
eration and a large part of the land
prepared for seeding. Wells havebeen
annk to water and pumps will be in
stalled to be operated by gasoline en
gines. The wells are so situated that
a Urge area can be covered by water.
Mr. Patterson is placing nnder culti
vation a large tract of land in a similar
manner, except that instead of gasoline
engines he has installed motors and
will run his pumps by electric power.
His land is on the line between this
citv and the Cyclone mine. Mr. Tat-
terson estimates that each pump will
irrigate 80 acres. His plant will begin
full operation next week. He thinks
the cost of power will not exceed that
of keeping tip irrigating ditches.
There is a large body of rich land ly
ing east of town which is practically
useless without water on the surface
Water can be obtained in quantities by
sinking from 15 to 40 feet.
Should this venture prove a success
from a financial standpoint, it is ex
pected thousands of acres will be re
claimed in this way when the large
electric power plant on Eagle creek
shall have been completed.
STOCK PROSPECTS ARB OOOD.
C J. Mulls Views the Rant In Batten
Ore ton Counties.
La Grande C. J. Millis, livestock
agent for the 0. R. & N., has returned
from an extended tour to the interior of
Oregon, where he covered a vast csope
of country, including Grant, Harney
and Crook counties, and was compelled
to make the trip incomplete on account
of bad roads, as they are impassable in
many places on account of spring wash
outs and many bridges are swept away.
Mr. Millis reports that stock pros
pects are very good all through Etsfrirn
Oregon and he thinks there will be the
best range this year for many years
past. The spring rains and freshets
have done the work for the range, even
though they have swept away bridges
and ruined many roads, and he also
thinks that the hay crop will be ahead
cf any for many years.
But the prices of stock are not the
best now, though a change is being
looked for soon. There is an overplus
throughout the country, too many stock
everywhere. Uregon bas a good range
and this is established for the present
year, and the stockmen wi'l be able to
hold the stock for better prices.
As soon as the roads will permit, Mr
Millis will complete the trip through
the interior.

for Oil and Salt.
Independence A new corporation
has been formed for the purpose of de
velopine the oil ana salt prospects on
the B. F. Whiteaker farm near this
' place with a capital stoek of $100,000.
Development was begun on this prop
erty more than a year ago. Awell
was sunk over 900 feet and work
stopped for lack of better machinery.
New machinery will now be put on the
grounds and the work pushed. Besides
the oil indications discovered so far the
water flowing from the borings made is
strongly impregnated with salt.
Pine Needle Plant Moves. .
Grants Pass The machinery of the
Pine Needle company was taken from
the old factory at Grants Pass last
- week and shipped to La Grande, where
a new company with a capitalization of
$100,000 will operate. The new com
pany is nnder the control of Turner
Oliver, of La Grande. Considerable
stock has been sold at La Grande. The
company has control of a 100-acre site
and plans to put up a factory of 2,500
pounds per day.
Union Sawmills to Start.
La Grande The Casey sawmill at
Hilgard, Or., a few miles from this city
will start its summer run in a few days.
The mill will cut 3,000,000 feet of lum
ber this season. The Perry mill will
Boon start on its run. The water in
.the Grand Ronde bas been in fine shape
for the bringing down of logs and all
the mills in Eastern Oregon will cut
large amounts of logs this summer.
. FtNB YEAR FOR WOOL.
Qrad Is Higher and ta Tartar Finer
Than lUaal
Fendleton Sheep shearing is about
half over, taking Umatilla county aa a
whole, and the results of shearing so
tar have justified early expectations of
what the clip would be. The grade is
higher, the texture finer. What is
lost in weight because the clip is
cleaner this spring is nearly compen
sated by the greater length of strands
and will probably be more than com
pensated by the improved price it will
obtain over dirty wool.
With one exception, only a fw small
clips, trifling in comparison with the en
tire output, have been sold. Most of
them belonged to smaller sheepmen in
the sand district, who needed the
money or were scared into letting go by
pessimistic talk of buyers. By these
from V to 13 cents was realized.
"The outlook for good prices keeps
up to the mark, and I can see nothing
in the situation in the United States,
or in the world, for that matter, which
would justify a prediction of a market
at all weak," said J. H. Ginn, secre
tary oi the uregon Wooigrowera as
sociation. "In fact, I believe sales
days will see prices a shade better
than were received last year. Grow
era should bold their cup until the
sales, and I think none of them will be
sorry tor it."
Creamery Runs at Top Limit.
Oregon City The Clear Creek cream
ery, located near this city, and operated
by the farmers on a co-operative basis,
is being run to its' full capacity, 600
pounds of batter being chained in a
single day this week. Several new
cream rentes are being established and
the output of the plant is beng in
creased weekly. Many Clackamas
county farmers have been taken in dur
ing the last two weeks by a fakir who
is traveling through the interior of the
county selling a recipe by which it is
claimed that butter can be made in a
few minutes and at the same time de
odorise cream. For each recipe the
smooth-tongued salesman collects (5.
Land Business Slackens.
The Dalles A report of the business
transacted and th cash receipts of the
United . States land office at this place
shqwed a slackening of the rush which
has continued in this office for the past
two years, in which the working force
of the office has been taxed to its ut
most in order to keep abreast of the
current work. For the month of April
87 original homesteads, 14 final home
steads and 55 final timber and stone
proofs are reported, ' the cash receipts
being $24,342.27; total cash receipts,
fees and commissions $26,467.95.
Chilly Weather Timely.
Pendleton Chilly weather which has
prevailed for a reek in Umatilla coun
ty ia welcomed by most ranchers
through the county because it is pre
venting what promised to be a too rank
growth of wheat. Fall grain in the
county is well advanced. The hot
weather and generally fine condition of
the ground, caused a rapid shooting op
wnicn mreaienea to run tne crop to a
strong growth of straw. This is very
opportunely checked. -

TOQO ACUlN AT IT.
Japanese Make A Bother Attempt t Cloa
Pert Artaar Harbor.
Port Arthur, May 5, Another dar
ing attempt was mad by th Japanese
yealuiUay morning to block Ui en
trance to Fort Arthur. A few minute
be for 1 o'clock th first shots wr
fired, awakening th town with their
thunderous nois. Th gunboat lying
at th month of tL harbor Joined in
th cannonad of th ba'.teriea, th fir
ing gradually increasing in volume un
til there was a continuous crash of
areat guns. Some of th enemy's tor
pedo boats wer discovered, but they
wer finally swallowed up in th dark
ness, and th batteries and warahips
alter 4U minutes' activity wer again
shrouded in gloom, though the flashing
searchlight showed that th military
wer alive to the warning conveyed of
th approach of the Japanese ships.
Shortly befor 2 o'clock a searchlight
played from the sea directly upon the
entrance of th harbor, lighting it up
to show the way for th flreshtps.
Th projector moved to the right from
Liao Tishan to Golden Hill. For a
quarter of an hour th light was
watched with curiosity, and then a sec
ond cannonade began, the heaviest fire
being directed to th left of Golden
Hill, where the fiteehips wer located.
At about 4 o'clock the batteries ceased
firing, save for an occasional ahot.
Just about dawn the bark of th rapid
fire guns and the crackling of the mi
trailleuse was heard from Golden Hill.
Occasionally there was sounds of ex
plosions, as of mines going off. It was
the enemy's ships striking on Russian
torpedoes.
The fireships were ten in number and
of about 3,000 tons each. It is re
ported that two Japanese torpedo boats
were sunk, the remainder withdrawing
in a damaged condition. Eight fire
ships wete sunk and very few of their
crews were saved. Most of them were
killed.
TO MARK ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
Canadian Commissioner Is Preparing
Diapatch Surveyors.
to
Vancouver, B. C, May 5. W.
F.
King, Canadian boundary commission
er, is on the way to Vancouver to ar
range for the dispatch of three Cana
dian parties of surveyors, who are to
work jointly with the American sur
veyors in delimiting the Canadian-
Alaskan boundary under the London
award of last year. Two Canadian and
Two United States parties will survey
the country where the boundary will
cross the head waters of the Lynn canal,
Chilkat river. A joint party will
make a survey on the Stikine. This
will delimit the more important dis
tricts through which the boundary will
pass. The total distance to be sur
veyed extends about 590 miles from
Mount St. Elias, east and souths But
it is not the intention to survey the en
tire distance, only that portion of the
boundary which crosses the rivers, val
leys and plateaus where travel and
prospecting will be probable. J. J.
McArthnr is also en route to British
Columbia from Ottawa to continue tha
work of relocating the boundary line
between British Columbia and the
states of Washington and Idaho.
STORM BREAKS OUT AQAIN.
Colorado Railroad Traffic Is Agala
Prac
tlcally Suspended.
Buena Vista, Colo., May 5. After
an abeyance of several hours, the torm
which has practically suspended rail
road traffic in this section, resumed
with added force this afternoon.- Six
feet of snow has fallen in the moun
tains, and while- the fall has been
heavy in the valleysj only about six
inches remains on the ground, the rest
having melted. Considerable appre
hension is felt for the safety of the
twin Lakes reservoir, which is report
ed to be running full of water.
The Colorado Midland railroad has
abandoned its tracks in this vicinity
and Is using the Rio Grande tracks
The trains on the latter road are 12
hoars behind the schedule. The Colo
rado Southern has operated no trains
on t'le Gunnison branch since Monday
morning on account of deep snow which
is piled high at both openings of the
xunnel.
Russian Officer Blamed.
Pans, May 5. The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Ecoh de Paris
General Kouropatkin. in teleeraphina
to the emperor, blames Lieutenant
General Zaosalitch's obstanncy in refus
ing to retreat in time despite the orders
he received. The Japanese artillery,
the correspondent savs. included 18
seiee guns which were brought from
Yokohama on gunboats and landed on
the Corean bank of the Yalu. The
long range of these guns enabled the
Japanese to silence the Russian batter
ies on the opposite bank.
Funds for Oreat Irrigation Work.
Washington, May 5. The secretary
of the interior has set aside, provision
ally, the sum of $1,000,000, for the
construction of the Path Finder reser
voir, on North Platte river, in Wyom
ing. The reservoir will be of sufficient
capacity to supply all of the land un
der it in Wyoming, but it is considered
necessary to increase this area by util
izing water in Western Nebraska, where
there are large areos of arid and semi
arid country. '
Insurance to Be Higher.
Chicago, May 5. It has been prac
tically settled by the committee of the
Union Fire Insurance association to ad
vance premiums in the West at least
20 per cent within a month. By June,
it is believed, the insurance rates in
Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, Salt Lake,
San Francicso and other large cities in
the West will be increased.
PORT IS BLOCKED
ADMRAL TOGO AT LAST SUCCESS
FUL AT PORT ARTHUR.
Orat Bravery ExatttUd-Oftkere War
Reedy t Let Half Tbetr Ma Mea
Wb Tk la Ftrtsfctp Persuaded
Admiral t Mak Attack ha Daylight
Instead t Night.
London, May 0. Th opinion gains
ground her that the Japanese hav at
last effectually blocked Port Arthur.
No official Japanese report hav been
received, but th Tokio correspondent
ar very positive regarding th matter,
and describe th determination with
which the enterprise was undertaken.
The Daily Telegraph s correspondent
declare th entrance to Port Arthur is
"absolutely sealed," and adds that th
Japanese fleet, in effecting its purpose,
steamed into th entrance at fall speed.
Th naval officers who mad th two
previous attempts begged perimrsion to
carry oat th next attack by daylight,
that being easier, and their request was
granted.
So determined wei they to succeed,
adds th correspondent, that they de
rided, if necessary, to lose half their
men. The number of casualties sus
tained by the Japanese has not yet been
announced.
The correspondent of th Daily
Chronicle is also positive the harbor is
corked."
In favor of the supposition of Japan
es success in blocking Port Arthur it
is pointed out that th previous at
tempts had left the channel so narrow
that a couple of vessels sunk in th fair
way would probably suffice to seal np
the entrance, while there is a notice
able evasion, and half-heaitedness, in
the Russian denials of the enemy's suc
cess.
There is no confirmation her of
Paris rumor that an engagement be
tween the Russian and Japanese squad
rons had taken place on Vladivostok,
and St.' Petersburg; knows nothing of
the rumored capture of Niu Chwang.
It is said the Japanese have advanced
to within 18 milea of Fang Wang Cheng,
and another engagement is expected al
most immediately.
Reports have been received here that
the Japanese captmJ a quantity of
railroad material after Sunday's battle.
This is supposed to indicate that th
Russians had made great progress with
the railroad from the roainManchurian
line to the Yalu. It this is so, it
would be a simple matter for the Jap
anese to repair this line, which would
materially assist them in their advance
through a difficult country. English
correspondents with the Japanese
forces on the Yalu are permitted to
send the most ample descriptions of
the people and country traversed, but
not on word about the fighting.
The Standard's Tientsin corres
pondent says he is convinced that the
Russian position in Southern Man
churia is exceedingly weak, as a conse
quence of the enormous number of men
detached to guard the railway and to
obtain provisions.
LOST TWO THOUSAND.
Russian acncral's Official Report on
Vain Battle
th
St. Tetersbuig, May 6. The Russian
losses at the battle of Kiu Lien Cheng
were 2.000 men and 40 officers, far
greater than previously reported.
This is the official estimate of Major
General Kashtalinsky, who directly
commanded the division that suffered
the, brunt of the attack, and whose re
port has not been received by the em
peror. Many are inclined to place the
Russian losses even higher.
General Kashtalinsky mentions also
that more than 700 wounded had ar
rived at Feng Wang Cheng, and these
may not be inclnded in his calculations.
He made no attempt to estimate the
Japanese losses, merely stating they
must have been colossal.
The magnitnde of the Russian losses
had an almost stunning effect on the
authorities, and aroused general grief,
m'tigated only by satisfaction at the
bravery displayed by the Russian
troops.
Not for a moment was there any in
tention to pay such a terrible price for
delaying the enemy's crossing of the
Yalu.
Building Torpedo Boats for Russia:
Berlin, May 6. It is reported that
the Vulkan Shipbuilding company at
Stellin, is busily engaged in the con
struction of torpedo-boats and destroy
ers in sections for the Russian govern
ment. These sections, with all needed
machinery, are to be shipped to Liban,
j where the boats may be completed,
or
they may be sent by the railway to
Port Arthur or Vladivostok. Whether
the construction of these vessels in sec
tions is a breach of neutrality is a sub
ject upon which it is impossible to se
cure an official opinion.
Nearly 5,000 Shots Fired. .
Port Arthur, May 6. There have
been no developments since the attack
on Fort Arthur, May 3. During the
bombardment the big guns of the Rus
sian ships and batteries fired 2,600
sbots, while the machine guns of the
ffunboat Giliak fired 2,000 shots. The
Novikrai says it learns that the Rus
sophobe Chinese, headed by Viceroy
Yuan Shikai and General Ma, are car

Btop Eatina.
I act on the theory that most people
eat" too much. Much is said of the
evils of Intemperate drinking and but
little Is said about Intemperate eat
ing, yet intemperate eating bas killed
hundreds of people where Intemperate
drinking bas killed one. I aim to eat
temperately, always leaving the table
with the ability to eat more, and with
the appetite for more food, yet when
I feel indisposed I stop eating. I do
not always stop entirely. If my all
ment is not serious, I eat perhaps one-
half or one-third as math as usual
and always find relief. If your horses,
cows, poultry, sheep or swine are all
lng it iff safe to take away their feed
for a short time, particularly their
grain. If we or our animals are not
enjoying usual health,' in addition to
giving them less feed It Is well to give
them more exercise. Less food,' the
drinking of more water and more ex
ercise In open air, these are my prln
cloal remedies for alls and aches.

Disking Land tor Corn. .
A correspondent writes us that bar
ing beard of quit successful corn
growing In Illinois without plowing .
th land first, Inquires whether one
can safely disk the corn land, list and
plant without th usual breaking.
Sometimes the lighter prairie soils ar
prepared In this way and corn Is plant
ed and does fairly well without first
breaking the land. This has been ao,
however. In seasons following deep
winter freezing, and llttl spring rata
to run th soli together. Only th
light blank soils mixed with som
and hav been successfully grown to
corn by disking, rather than breaking.
In wet spring' seasons aotn risk is
taken even with these soils to plant
In this way. It Is far safer to break
th ground first and pulverise It for
corn. And the clay loam should be al
ways be so treated, and It Is best to
break them deeply. Disking heavy
Bolls and listing for planting would be
great mistake In any kind of a
aeason. These sous are run together
and hardened by the usual spring
rains more than others are, and our
correspondent would make a mistake
to undertake corn growing on his clay
loam landa by merely disking them.

Swelled Lea Treatment.
Horse that have run at pasture are-
often troubled with swollen or
"stocked" legs when first brought to
the stable in the fall, and others that
do not run to grass are so affected
when suffering from "general debil
ity." The following Is aa excellent
remedy for such cases;
Powdered sulphate of Iron (cop
peras) three ounces, powdered gentian
root thre ounces, sulphlt (not sul
phate) of soda thr ounces. Have the
druggist mix these Ingredients thor
oughly In bis mortar and then divide
the compound into twenty-four pow
ders. '
Give one of th powders night and
morning mixed in the grain feed, until
nil are used. Moisten the grain slight--ly
before putting In the powder.'
If this docs not . effect a cure, give
a tablespoonrui or giauuer saus in me
grain feed every night for two or three
months, if necessary. Cases where the
legs have been "stocked" constantly
and quite badly for some time have
been permanently cured by glauber
salts alone.
