FOR DEEPER CHANNEL
Plans for Giving Forty Feet
at Mouth of Columbia.
IN THE RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.
Improvement IL Justified by the Great
Increase In the Rivers Ship
ping Trade.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The project
and plans for deepening the channel at
the mouth OF the Columbia river to 40
feet have been received by the chief Of
engineers, but will not be made public
until sent to congress. This project
will probably be included in any river
and harbor bill that is prepared In the
coming session. From statistics that
have been submitted it Is shown that
over / ,000,00 tons of exports and i'm
ports, valued at $40, 900, 600, have been
carried by sea-going craft using the
river between Portland and the ses
during the past year, and 1t is the gem
eral belief that q waterway handling
such an immense traffic is entitled h
the fullest recognition.

HEAVY FIGHT is NEAR.
Large Force of Beers Reported to BE
Moving South.

Moving South.
London, Nov. 21.-This mornings
news gives little that alters the COM
plexion OF the situation. Since the
fight of November 9 matters, so far as
known, have been fairly quiet at Lady
smith. 1t is not unlikely that the
Beers, badly informed as to the nature
and extent of British preparations to
advance to the relief OF the town, may
be hesitating regarding the next move-
ment. The situation in Natal is very
complicated, more especially if the re-
ports be true that the great Tugela
bridge has been destroyed. The sue
cess of the next move on either side
will depend more ON strategy than on
superior numbers.
The Beers have three lines of action
open. They can hold the railway with
the force they have at Ennersdale, fall
ing slightly back before the British ad.
vance and threatening it from Weeneni
or, in the second place, they can ad'
vance from Weenen and try to carry
Estcourt; or, in the third place, they
can advance due south from Weener
to Weston, cut the railway and blow
up the bridge over the Mooi river. i
it be true that there are 10000 Beers
under Joubert and General Botha
marching south to meet the British re-
lief forces, heavy fighting is in store.

With the help of banking syndicate

New York, Nov. 20.-A dispatch TO
the Herald from Shanghai says: Your
correspondent has just returned from q
trip through Japan and China, where
he went to investigate the rumors OF a
possible rupture between Russia and
Japan--rumors which have been mys-
teriously and persistently circulated
for some time, and which have finally
found their way into print through
English channels. 1t can be stated
authoritatively that these rumors of an
approaching war find no corroboration
whatever among Japanese officials.
In fact, the Japanese officials point
ont the failacy of such rumors by de-
claring that Japan is in no position tc
go TO war, even If she had the DISPOSE
tion to do 80, owing to the condition o.
her navy.
Experienced and well-informed for

opinion that no war is lowering ovel

Alaskan Islands That Produce Skins
Worth as Much az 300 Each.
From the Tacoma Ledger.
c. r. 1sham United States commissioner
of Cnga Island, Alaska. while at Tacoma,
on his way to Washington, recently said of
the district he administers:

the eleven Islands of the Shumagin group,
including Unga, produced from the sur
rounding waters thirty-four sea offers. The
value of these skins is 500 each. Besides
ms the Islands are producing blue and
black fox skins In large numbers. One ISL
ana alone had produced up to the time 1
left ninety skins. worth $40 each, or $500.
other islands are also producing stead
lily The black foxes were planted orig
tnally In Unga, Sanak, Belofsky and other
Islands by the Russian-American Fur Com
p&ny to augment the scarce supply left after
the companys men had been long trapping
on the Islands. After the United States had
had the country for some years our gov
eminent leased the eleven islands to diff
fefent traders and Aleut chiefs for the
purpose of raising blue foxes. The islands
were well stocked with the blue variety
and these have been crossed with the black
In many cases. and an unusually fine fur
resulted.
This year the natives of Belofsky Island
caught seventeen sea offers, enough to
carry the whole village of 25O people
through the winter in good shape. The In
dams go forth on the sea in their bidarkas,
and shoot the offers with their shotguns
as rule. In some cases they use nets, but
shooting them is the usual way. These OF
ter skins are the best found in any market
in the world.
Il am going to Washington now to try
to get the government to erect board
houses on the islands for the use of In
dams in drying salmon. and also desire
to get a medical dispensary and doctor
for the Indians. Diseases of different kinds
have broken out among them. Substantially
the Aleuts need. besides this, only -four,
tea and ammunition. and these supplies
they can buy of the traders from their OF
ter and fox skin catch. There are plenty
OF Goldfish, eggs of wild fowl and some
game, in addition to the salmon, as gen.
eral thing. but once in while there Is a
hard year. and the Indians have to live on
