CHINA COWED BY RUSSIA.
She Is Agreeing, One by One, to All the
Czar's Demands.
Londtn, May 21. According to -a
Pektn dispatch to the Times, dated
May 19 the situation at Niu t hwang
and in Manchuria, in 'pite of procla
mations and assurance, is unchanged.
There is a constant flow of Russians
and war materials to both the Chinese
and Corean banks of the Yalu river.
Trustworthy evidence, says the dis
patch, confirms the report that num
bers of Chinese described as former
b igands are officered by Russians.
They number at least 2,000 and carry a
badge inscribed "protectors of the for
est." ,
Reviewing the Mauchurian situation,
and commenting on the apathy of the
powers, the Tinms correspondent aver
that China is agreeing one by one to all
the Russian demands. She has already
undertaken not to alienate any portion
of Manchuria to any other power; not
to alter the present administration in
Mongolia; not to open any ne treat v
ports in Manchuria, and ha) given an
assurance not to employ foreigners in
the administration of Manchuria, and
whether China gives her consent or
not, Russia retains the telegraph lines
between Port Arthur and Mukden.
China has agreed that Russia shall
have full control of the osteins at Niu
Chwang, and there is little doubt that
an agreement exists giving Russia ex
clusive mining ri(;hti in the Mukden
province.
When Manchuria is gone, what se
curity will there be, asks the corres
pondent, for the position of Japan in
Cnrea, militarry or civil? Does any
one know what necret agreement was
signed by the eupercr of Corea during
the year he resided as refugee in the
Russian legation at Seoul?
STREET CAR TAKES FIRE.
Fainting Women Trampled Upon and One
Man Badly Hurt.
New York, May 21. In a wild rush
of frightened passengers to escspe from
a burning street car near Cypress Hills,
Long Island, Mit hael Murphy, of Ja
maica, was pushed through a window
and so badly cut by the glass that his
condition is critical.
The car was on it) way to Jamaica
when a' flas-h of flame shot from the
trucks and the motorman brought the
car to a stop. Before the passengers
were aware of the danger, fire worked
through the floor and caught the trim
ming of the grata. The 25 passengers
jumped to their feet and started toward
the rear door. Two women fell in a
faint on the floor, but the crowd was
too intent on saving themselves to pav
any attention to them. It was in the
jam at the door tnat Murphy was
crushed against the window with such
force that the glass broke and he was
shot out onto the ground. As he fell
fragments Of glass cut his hands and
fa- e in a dozen places, and a ragged
edge caught his foot. The weight of
his falling body sent the sharp edges
through his clothing and severed an
artery in his ankle. Two policemen
helped the crowd out of the cars. Mur
phy was cent to a Hospital.
SHEEP AND CATTLE FREEZE.
Loss by Unexpected Blizzard on Montana
Ranges Amounts to Millions.
Great Fal'e, Mont., May 21. The
heaviest sheep rnd catt e loss in ' the
history of Montana, the damage of
which will foot up as high as (5,000,-
000, has been caused by the terrible
storm which has been raging for the
past three days. In some sections fully
90 per cent of the sheep on the ranges
have rerished. -
Three herders, at least, have wan
dered away in the blinding storm and
have frozen to death. It is difficult to
get names. An aged herder at Portage
was lost Sunday. Two more in the
She'bf Junction country are missing
and there is no hope that they can be
found alive.
Two thousand five hundred sheep are
drifting on the ranges without herders.
The latter have abandoned their flocks
on every hand and fled for safety tothe
settlements and ranches Nothing
like the fury of this storm has ever
been witnessed in Northern Montana.
Of a consignment of fiOO cattle bound
from Havre, all but five were found
frozen stiff. Losses are reported on
e' ery hand, from Harlem, from Leth
bridge, from Chinook and Havre.
Commissioners Report No Progress.
Washington, May 20. No p: egress,
is repotted from tire United States
treaty commissioners in- China. The
exact nature of the obstacle to the con
sumation of the trade treaty is not
known. The Chinese commissioners
make one statement in the matter; the
Russian government makes another
and coLflicticg statement, anl the
commissioners do not know which to
believe. It is probable that the tate
department may feel it necessary to
canse the Chinet-e government to give
more definite instructions.
Qermin Wine May Be Excluded.
Washington, May 21. Acting Secre
tary of Agriculture Moore has reques ed
the secretary of state to ascertain from
the United States consul at Mayence
the facts regarding the trial of Dr
bchlamp Von Hope, who is charged
with the adulteration of Nietiner wines
It was aliened in this case that the
wines were largely adulterated and im
itated. If tuia wete so, nnder the act
of March 3, 1903. they would be ex
cluded from United States ports.

New York, May 21. The annual re

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
LAND FOR RESERVE.
Big Withdrawal Made In Warner Valley
Section, Southern Oregon.
The interior department has decided
upon another foreet reserve for Oregon,
this time in Southern, Lake county,
in the Warner mountaii country. By
direction of So.retary ilithtock. the
vacant publi lands in a tract of over
99J.0C0 acres in Lake county, and 44,
tovnshipt adjoining iiiTfortbern Cali
fornia, have been temporarily with
drawn from all ent y, with a view to
their examination to determine the ad
visibility of creating a foret revive
about the town of Lakeview. The
Oregon lands withdrawn are: Town-
ships 84 to 4 1 inclusive, ranges 16, 17,
and 18; townships 37, 38 and 41, range
19; township 36 and 37, range 20;
towmhip 36 to 41 inclusive, range 21
and 22. all onth and east. The town
ship in whi h Lakeview is located, and
the townsbi s immediately north,
south and wet, are not included in'
the withdrawal. '
A forest reserve in tho Warner Moun
tain region i re ommended by the
geological turvcy, not enly for the pre
servation of the timber, but the con
servation of the water- su u ly. . Goo.e
lake lies in the center of the withdraw
al, and a number of ttieama whi.h
tupply it with water have their head
waters within that region. Moreover,
the headwaters of Sprague river, Drews
reek, Warner creek, and a number of
other streams would all be protected by
a forest reterve in this region.
In view of the development of irri
gation enterprises in Lake founty and
in Northern California, the creation of
this forest reserve is con-ii?ered most
eseential. The lands withdrawn are to
br examined this summer, and su b
tracts as are found unsuitable for re
servation will ultimately be restored to
entry. The remainder, beyond a ques
tion of doubt, will be permanently re
served. Surveying Crater Lake Park.
Superintendent W. F. Arant has re
ceived word that Crater Lake national
ark will be surveyed by the govern
ment as Boon as the snow disappears
from the mountains. The boundaries
of the park, containing 249 square
miles, have never been defined, and
until that is done the superintendent
cannot tell exactly where his authority
begins or ends with reference to posBi
b e trespassers or tho.e asking privil
eges. Better Catch of Fish.
Reports from the mouth of the river
are to the effe t that the cat h of fish
is a trifle better, but as the tatch d it
ing the ast week or ten days has Oeen
very small, this does not mean much.
The time is fast approaching, however,
when big runs are to be expected, pro
vided, of co rse, that the weither and
other conditions t rn more favorable.
Died at Oreat Age.
Joseph Bashaw, who, as near as can
be figured tut, was at least 115 years
old, was found dead in bed at the
home of his stepson, near Sidney. He
was probably the oldest rnan in Oregon.
He was a Frenchman by birth and
served in the French wars of 1806-15,
under Napoleon. He drove nn ox team
to Oreg n in 1847, and was then a gray
haired man.
Fruit Outlook Bright.
Prune growers frcm different parts of
Marion and Polk counties report that
their trees are in excellent condition
and promise an enormous crop. The
rains did no damage during the blos
soming period. The trees are now
bearing mnch more fruit that could be
matured, but, of course, much of this
will drop off, as usual.
Fire at Ashland.
Fire which broke out at Ashland
last Monday in the middle of the busi
ness houses on the west side of Fourth
street, between A and fi, near the
Sonthtrn Pacific depot, gained such
be dway and burned so fiercely that al
most the entire block was destroyed,
involving a total loss of nearly (25,000,
upon which there was an insurance of
(10,500.
Cutting Down Debt.
The semi-annual financial statement
of Wasco county, computed by County
Clerk Lake, shows a reduction in I t
indebtedness of the connty of ( 4 1 ,70 .34
within the last six months, leaving the
total indebtedness at this time only
(8,191.14, which is the firs' time for
many years that theindeb ednessof the
county has been materially below
(100,000. .
Ready to Dig. .
Ditch digging implements and sup
plies for the Columbia Southern irriga
tion company, on the Tomello, have
been going in for several days, and act
ive operations are expected to be in
progress there soon, though no news
has yet coine of the approval of the re
clamation contract at Washington.
AH Are Busy at Helix.
The prosperous'little village of Helix,
in the vary heart of th great wheat
belt of Eastern Oregon, enjoys the dis
tinction of not having an idle man, a
vaunt storeroom or dwelling hoosi
within its limits. Everyone is busy,
and all are prosperous.
. Heavy Buyer ol Timber Lead.
Deeds have been filed for record con
veying the title to nearly 3,000 acres of
timber land along the Kiatskanie river
to W. W. Boman, of Forrest, Pa., mak
ing a tract of about 7 00 acres that he
baa recently purchased in that vicinity.
MILL AT LUCKY BOY MINE.
Contract Has Been Let for an Increase of
Fifty Stamps.
A contract has been made by the
Lucky Boy company in the Blue river
district, for the machinery to increase
the mill at the nines to 50 stamps,
and other machjnery for the operation
of the mine. The officers of the com
pany have been negitiating for several
days- with - the 'Union Iron works, of
San Francisco, and have let a large con
trail tor machinery.
There will be an electric power
plant, which will be located on the
McKenzie river, biz miles from the
mine, from which power will be trans
mitted to the mine. The machinery
will be increased to 103 stamps next
season, which will make it one of the
most extensive plants on the coast.
Work on th flumes, buildings, etc.,
for the power plant wili begin at once.
The improvement now projected will
involve an outlay of (95,000.
Stripped of Timber.
W. H. B. Kent and H. D Langell.
of the department of agriculture, are in
Baker City from Washington to exam
ine the lands and report in regard to
the establishment of the Blue mountain
iorest reserve Already they have
made a partial examination of a por
tion of the land, which it is proposed
to embrace in the reserve, and they
find that a reat deal of the marketable
timber has been cut off They will re
main in that vicinity for some time.
Half a Hop Crop.
Much comp'aint is being expressed
by the hop growerB around Harrisburg.
From some cause the vines have not
come up in many hills in the yards
thereabout, whi-e many of the vines
are blighting. It is the opinion of the
growers that the troable is due to
worms in the roots. Slill there are
those who do not incline to this opin
ion. However, all agree that tlure
will not lie over half a crop in that lo
cality.
Activity in Blue River.
Following the contract for extensive
improvements on the Lucky Boy mine
in the Blue river district, the news is
now given out that the Sunset mine, in
the same district, will begin systematic
development. A stamp mill will be
put in to test the richness of the ore in
a practical manner, and work will be
prosecuted in the tunnels so as to open
up the ledge in a manner to woik sys
tematically. Joining Two Branches.
Again it is reported that the long
looked for link connecting the two
lines of the Southern Pacific between
Springfield and Eugene wili. soon be
built, and the report seems to come
from a reliabla source. A surveying
party is to be sent by the company at
one a to make final location of the route
for the connection, which it is the in
tention to construct daring the present
year.'
Water Supply Fails.
There is a shortage of water at the
Oregon agricultural college. The source
of supply is a large well, which for
merly afforded sufficient water, but the
growth of the college and the largely
increased amount of water required ren
ders the output of the well insufficient
to meet the needs. Every day now the
well is pumped dry, in spite of the
fact that there is careful husbanding of
water in all the departments.
Sugar Beets Need Rain.
About 30 Japanese have arrived in
Pendleton from Portland k to work in
the beet fields of the Oregon sugar
company, and 120 more are expected
to follow soon. The beets are growing
elowly and almost at a standstill for
want of rain. Grain, gardens and
orchards are also suffering.

CAQAYAN IS PLAQUtD
Caraboas Has Rain, Lands Overflow, Lo
custs and Smallpox Came.
Washington, Msy 20. The bureau
of insular affairs of the war depart
ment has received the annual report of
Governor Gonzaga, of the province of
Cagayan, P. I., for ths year 1902. It
says in part:
"The province of Cagayan, situated
in the extreme northern part of the
island of Luzon, has continued in a
peaceful and tranquil condition since
the establishment there of civil gov
ernment, which was accomplished with
out the least disturbance or occasion of
disorder in September, 1901. The
most complete peace has reigned.
"Prosperity has been prevented by
the mortality of Caraboas and other
diseases of cattle and horses. This was
followed by unexpected rising of the
rivers, which overflowed land planted
with corn. Then came the smallpox
and the scourge of locusts, and the
cholera, which, while it has not
wrought much havoc, has greatly un
settled the minds of the people.
"The dire calamities mentioned, to
gether with the depression in tobacco,
which is the principal product of the
soil, placed the inhabitants of the tobacco-raising
pueblos of the prcvince in
a most deploraDle condition.
"All of the pueblos of the provinct
should be given American teachers,
and there should be established institu
tions of higher learning in the island,
of agriculture, arts and trades in the
provincial capital, for the education of
the Cagayan youth."
