Report Not Credited.
London, Feb. 13. The report or igin
atione with a Japanese firm having
correspondents in Tokio was circulated
ip London tonight to the effect that
ibree Russian cruisers, presumably the
Vladivostock squadron, had . be,en tor-K-doed-

between the island of Ilokkiado, the
northern end of three Japanese islands
and Nippon, Central llakodat is on the
-northern side of the. strait.
The Japanese legation has heard
nothing confirmatory of this report,
though it has come to it from several
sources. The. legation officials received
the report with reserve, it being con

The Japanese have a strong naval
base at Kot&mari, at the northern end
of Nippon, and on the south side of the

Editor Statesman: i
Through the kindness of some! one, I
received through the mail a copy of
your Illustrated Annual, which I have
road with much interest. I have long
wanted to move to Oregon, but have
failed so far to . convince ray family
that it . would be best for them. , 1 am
now 71 years old and am comfortably
fixed,-but land has got out of reach of"
my children, and that is why I want
to make the change, and you. seem to
be the proper one to ask for further in
formation in regard to the price of
land, cultivation. I want . te buy an
improved place, say " from 20 to SO
arres; prefer good hop land. Also the
price of wild land that will produce
good crops that grow in your country,
and the general lay of the country and
nature of the soil. ;, ,-;
I tako it for granted that what you
have published in your annual Is
strictly reliable, with no desire to over

I have lived here in this county for
sixty-eight years, and. this has been one

not to ' offend 'Rucsia. The total,: or

HONOEABLE DEFEAT.
, (From Sunday's Daily,)
In a fiercely contested and intensely
exciting game the Willamette basket
ball team last night went down to
honorable defeat before the husky
basket throwers from the University
of Washington. From the time the
two teams trotted : out onto 'the field
'until he final whistle biew, the great
est, interest was manifested by tae
large jand enthusiastic audience. Al
though the Wasbingtonians were in the
lead most of the game, it was only by
a very few points,, and "u was any
body's game" up to the last moment.
This is the first time in three vears
that the 'Varsity team has met defeat
on their own floor, and those who went
to the gymnasium last night in the ex
pectation of seeing a good game were
not disappointed in the least. The
teams were evenly matched as to sie,
and about an equal number of fouls
were called on each. The game was
rather rough but not intentionally so,
andjhe best of feeling- prevailed
throughout the game.
The visitors sprung a great surprise
on th4 start by playing, the famous
TomsBte Donald at forward instead lot
his usual place at center. , He was
easily the slar pf the team, and al
though Mltthews, who was pitted
sgaiust him in the first half, played
like a demon, he was no match for
him, permitting I; him to make four
baskets. In the . second half Pollard
was put in at guard against McDonald,
Judd want to center and Matthews to
forwand. By this arrangement the
giant from Seattle was held down to a
single1 basket. Will McDonald, who
played center, was unable to'make a
singlet -field goal, .but succeeded in f se
curing three frojii the foul line. Waller
and Hill each added two points to the
Washington side of the score, in the
first and second halves, respectively. .
Miller scored the most points for the
homo team, making a total .'of three
field goals. Matthews also made two
baskets. Pollard threw four cut of a
possible eight from the foul line. Judd
made i two failures from the fool line.
Had .Willamette been up to her usual
standard in throwing fouls, the score
would have beep different. The boys
admit that for one they met their su
periors and say tbey were fairly beat-eu-Vl!

' After tho game the - visitors were
given a reception by the Girls' Student
Association, t which was very pleasing
to them as it was tho first courtesy

Chinese Pheazant Farm. - :
W. t Bureh was fa the city 'yeater
day on business, and. to receive a coop
of nine Chinese pneasants, which he re
cently purchased from, a poultfyman
at Fairfield. He has just rented a farm
from T. M. : Jones,; of this city, the
farm being located ten miles east of
Salem, aad proposes to build up an
ideal Chinese pheasant . farm. Mr.
Burch is an authority on the subject of
raising these 'splendid birds, as be has
spent the greater part of his life in
raising them -and in the poultry busi
ness. - For several years past be has
been eaiployed by Miss Jennie Griffith,
who has .become noted for. her success
in this industry, but she has not been
able to supply the demand, and Mr.
BurcC intends to begin' for himself.
He now , has twenty-one birds . for
breeding purposes, and expects to raise
a large flock to place on the market
next summer. He. said Miss Griffith
has been selling them for 6 per pair,
but recently raised the price to 10, a
pair andfiads just as ready marketf for
them. She yesterday shipied a pair to
Kentucky, and one month ago. sold 110
birds to. the Rod rnd Gun Cluo of
Yakima, where they ' will be turned
loose and protected in hopes that they
will get a rckxI start in that county.
They tax all hunting ' dogs and guns
used in hunting, and spend the money
for importing birds, to r keep up the
supply, j I;,'--':
Oregon Stock Industry.
. Thos. W- Brunk, the prosperous farm
er from 'near Kola, in Polk county, who
has set such a good example in raising
stock of all' kinds, was in the city
Welnesday to make a final settlr ment
in the sale of -a .fine flock of Angora
goats to the firm of Gilbert i; Patter
son,' now known as the Kola Hop A
Stork Company. Mr, Kmnk is one of
the most successful breeders of fine
stock in the. United States, and is con
stantly receiving orders for goats,
sbeep. of hogs many of them for ship?
ment to distant parts of the country.
The day Mr. Br unk was in the city
was very blustery and cold for the Wil
lamette valley, and he expressed his
fdty for", the fmany horses which were
eft by their owners standing on the
streets unprotected from, the wind sad
rsin. Me' said he thought it an out
rage, and that the officers should , put
them In the stable to be fed, and let
the owners pay the cost. .
He reports that the condition, of the
stock over the -country is much better
than last winter, when hundreds of an
imals were allowed to starve for the
lack of attention on the-part of their
owners, allowing them to run, oa , the
Kasture all winter without the least
it of feelf until tbey could seek re
lief in death. He said he wondered
how people's consciences would allow
them, to treat dumb brutes in such a
shameful manner, and aside frpm this,
it was a very expensive habit. 8omc
people imagine it. is economy to stsrve
