NEW HOPB FOR PEACB.
Diplomacy May Soon Enter Into the Far
Eastern Struggle.
Washington, July 5. While the
officials here are satisfied from their
private advices that the recent visit of
King Edward to his nephew, F.uiperor
William, was not brought about by
purpose to initiate a movement toward
the restoration of peace between Russia
and Japan, there is reason to believe
that some very careful and discreet In
quiries as to the opportunities of some
such overtures at this time have ema
nated from Washington. lit may be
stated that the result has been to dis
close the fact that neither of the bell ig
erents was yet in the humor to sue for
peace, nor even to entertain Overtures
from any third power on that subject.
The state department will continue

Torpedo Works Destroyed.
St. Petersburg, July 5. As a result
of the leceipt of news of a fire which
took place at the torpedo works at
Cronstadt last night, this city was to
night filled with the wildest rumors,
including one to the effect that the
Peterhof Palace had been blown up.
The damage at Cronstadt was con
fined to the torpedo mechanism shops,
which were almost wholly destroyed,
together with 20 Whitehead torpedoes.
Five of the torpedoes had war heads
attached and they exploded, which
added to the fire and the excitement.
A considerable quantity of coal stored
in the works was also burned. An
alarm was given in time to prevent loss
of life and more serious loss of proper
ty. .'
The authorities here do not attach
serious importance to the accident,
and say that the worksswill soon be
able to resume at foil time.
HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
PEVIS DESTROY ALFALFA.
Qreit Damage Done la Morrow County
by Orasshoppcrs.
Heppner Grasshoppers bv the mil
lion are appearing in some localities in
Morrow county. They have settled in
great numbers in the Sand Hollow
country, a farming district about ten
miles northeast ot Ueppner, where they
are doing considerable damage. They
are doing the most damage to alfalfa
and the hay crop, and 'in some places
are taking gardens.
me nrst crop 01 auaiia, wuicn was
Immense, has practically all been
laved, but it is feared that very little
of the second crop can be saved, owing
to the ravages of Uie millions of these
insects that have been congregating in
the alfalfa fields. At llynd Bros., a
o.g rar.'li in band Hollow, they are so
thick in the alfalfa that in the evening
after the insects go to roost on the
heads of the alfalfa plants they can be
scooped up by the gallon by taking a
coal oil can or bucket and striking
through the grass. It is only the work
of a short time to fill a gunny sack.
Some of them caught in this way are
being fed to the hogs.
Along Willow rreek, where there are
many alfalfa fields, the grasshoppers
are numerous and doing considerable
damage in some places they are attack-
ng wheat fields but arenotdoing much
damage, owing to the fact that the
grain is Hearing maturity and is getting
hard. However, tiny are stripping the
green leaves from the stalks. li the
wheat belt they have not appeared in
sufficient numbers to cause any alarm
and the damage to the wheat crop will
tie of little consequence.
TENT CITY SPRINQS UP.
Prospectors Swarming to Southern Ore
gon Uold District.
Grants Pass Numbers of prospectors
are outfitting at Grants Pass daily and
starting for the mines on Thompson
creek and all through the Sucker creek
country. They are coming from differ
ent points as far away as Idaho and
Southern California.
The actual digging of gold at the
Rriggs claim, on Thompson creek, has
stopped for the present, as ttuy are
now engaged in bringing a ditch from
the headwaters of Thompson creek to
the mine for the purpose of supplying
water. All of the dirt movsd will be
sluiced or puddled in order to get all
the values they carry.
Already a townsitte has been located,
and it is reported that there are now
50 tents up and prospectors with pack
animals are arriving daily. Another
strike of a large body of rich ore has
been reported near the Bnggs find.
Damage In t'mitllla Not Serious.
Pendleton The damage to grain from
the heavy rain which visited a portion
of Umatilla county last week was not
as extensive as at first believed. Farm
ers living in sections where the rain
was heaviest report the grain lodged
in many fields, but believe that most
of it can be saved. John Crow, an ex
tensive wheat raiser on the reservation,
probably the largest loser, says his
loss will reach $5,000. The country
around Warren station received a se
vere drenching. A number of bridges
were washed out.
Oem Mine Changes Hands.
Bilker City Announcement is made
by Mr. Frank Geiser that the old Gem
mine at Sparta, one of the big produc
ers ot the Uaker City camp, will re
sume full operations by July 10, under
the direction of the Geiset-IIendryx
company. 1 lie parties interested will
not permit much of a statement to be
made at present, but suflicient is
known to make the statement that the
property has been sold to the Geiser-
Hendryx company.
Busy Month In Land Office.
Salem June has been a busy month
in the state land office as shown by the
statement of receipts made by Clerk G.
G. Brown. The rush has been due in
some degree to the payment of balances
on old notes and certificates of sale,
which payments were demanded b) the
land board some time ago and were re
quired to be paid prior to July 1. The
business of the office amounted to more
than $1,500 a dty during June.
Pest of Orasshoppers.
Pendleton Completion of cutting of
the hay crop of Butter creek and Mor
row county has saved it from what
would probably have been serious dam
age by grasshoppers, which are more
numerous than for several years in the
hay fields of the western part of this
county and in Morrow. The first crop,
however, is nearly all taken off and
the pest will be unable to work serious
harm.
Wheat Cutting Is Commenced.
Helix Wheat cutting has begun in
the Cold Spring country west of here,
near the Columbia, this section be inn
among the earliest in the Inland Em
pire. Only a few farmers are at work.
bnt in some parts of the eountv cutting?
will be continuous until Umatilla's big
harvest is all in. No definite report
has bee receivetfas to how the first
cutttbgs are running.
ALFALFA IS TAkINQ ROOl.
Successful Results of Experiments la
Marion County.
Salem The experiments conducted
by Gilbert & Patterson in growing al
falfa on one of their farms near this
city seems to be very satisfactory in its
results. The alfalfa was sown three
) eats ago, on bottom land. For two
seasons the crop was very light but the
alfalfa is now becoming well set and
seems to be a good producer.
The first cutting this season yielded
ten tons on three acres. The alfalfa is
now a foot tall and there is every pros
pect for a yield of frorri one to two tons
per acre for the second cutting, with
some fall pasturage left. The dryness
or tne season lias not yet had any ap
preclable effect npon the crop.
w Here the alfalfa is Kiowina there is
about VI feet of soil on top of gravel
containing water. Presumably the
roots of the alfalfa find their way down
to the water or at any rate go deep
enough so that the dry weather does
not affect them.
A number of farmers in this section
of the valley are experimenting with
alfalfa, and though they have difficulty
n getting a start they believe that the
ultimate results will be satisfactory
and that this fodder plant will become
a common product in this section of
the state. The fact that it need not be
resown every year or two, that it is
not affected by drouth, that it can be
cut before and after the usual June
rains, gives it its chief value as a farm
product in the vallev.
Lay Duit With Oil.
Oregon City Experiments that have
been made on Main street with crude
oil for keeping down the dust have met
with success, so claim the city offic
ials, and it is very likely that the oil
will be used in the future by the city
n solving the problem of fighting dust.
The first teft was a failure for the rea
son that the oil was carried on the
shoes of pedestrians into the stores of
the merchants. After two days the oil
had dried and there is little or no dust
n front of the stores where the oil was
used.
Large Acreage la Barley.
Umatilla Barley heading has com
menced in northern Morrow county in
the Lexington and lone neighborhoods
along the northern portion of the
Heppner branch of the O. R. 4 N.
Grain in the last two weeks has ripened
rapidly and there is every prospect that
the largest crop of wheat in Morrow's
history will be harvested. Fall grain
is bettor than normal and the only ap
parent shortage will be in spring grain
sown unusually late. '
Berry Season Over.'
Freewater The strawberry season is
about over around Freewater and Mil
ton, and the big niah is in cherries.
Final returns from the strawberry out
put show that little over half what was
expected was realized. Only a few
crates are going out daily.

Large
Qraln Elevator Is Burned
and
Three Lives Lost.
Boston, Juiy 7. The iinmense (train
elevator of the Boston & Maine railroad
company, one of the largest in the
world, together with three of the com
pany's freighthouses on piers Nos. 1
and 2, Mystic wharf. Charlestown.
were burned tonight, entailirui losses
of over $1,000,000.
Three li ws are supposed to have been
lost. Thirty-five sailors of the Allan
steamer Austria, which was lying at
pier No. 1, jumped overboard to save
themselves from the flames, which had
communicated to their vessel. Olga
Olsen, boatswains' mate; James Flynn,
fireman, and Patrick N. Meelian. fire
man, ate the supposed victims.
Flynn s body has been recovered.
Most of the crew swam ashore, but
11 of their number required hospital
attention. Beore the tire could be
controlled all the upper works had been
burned. ,
The fire started during a heavy
thunder storm, when a bolt of lightning
struck one of the freighthouses, in
which was stored a quantity of hay.
The flames spread ranidly to adjoining
buildings, including the elevator, and
the larger part of the fire apparatus of
the city was summoned to save other
property. The elevator is figured at
$400,000. Losses on the freight
houses, their contents, the pier and the
steamer Austria will easily swell the
total to more than $1,000,000.
Among the steamship companies
who will suffer losses on freight de
stroyed are the Allan line, tho Scandi
navian and the Wilson.

Operations at Port Arthur
Must
Be Further Advanced.
Chicago, July 7. The following
special cablegrams are from a staff cor
respondent ol the Daily News:
On board the Daily News Dispatch-
boat Fawan, Chefoo, July 7. While
the Fawan was off Port Arthur Friday
last, about noon, fierce cannonading
was heard, ending in a heavy explosion.
The Fawan stood by one of the Japan
ese picket ships till late in the after
noon, but saw nothing. All was quiet
on Saturday. While cruising toward
Talienwan. Sunday, picket cruisers
were met all along the boast at inter
vals. About 15 miles off Dalny, the
Fawan was stopped by a cruiser of the
Asami type, but not detained.
"Several shots were heard about 4 p.
m. in the direction of Port Arthur.
"The naval situation is apparently
at a standstill. No active measures
are likely to be taken by Admiral Togo
until the land operations are further
advanced."
Would Save Many Lives.
Victoria B. C, July 7. Last winS
er's terrible wrecks on the west coast
of Vancouver Island are bearing their
fruit in a strong movement to have that
portion of the coast better supplied
with telegraphic communication. At
present the telegraph line runs north
only as far as Clayoquot, just north of
Barkley sound, leaving all the coast to
Cape Scott without any means of com
munication. It is suggested that wire
less telegarph stations should be in
stalled at suitable pointB along the
coast.
Many Russians Are Deserting.

are constantly crossing the pruth into

bast. The prisons of the Rusisan side
of the border are full of men suspected
of intention to desert. The officers are
nndei the necessity of observing every
precaution to avoid a general mutiny.
More Troops for the Far Bast.
St. Petersburg, July 7. It is believ-
ed that another army corps will be
mobilized for the Far East, but it has
not yet been decided what corps will Is
