Affairs in Japan.

Yokohama, Jan. Is, via San Fran.
cisco, Feb 3.-The event of this week
has been the arrival OF the United
States transport Grant with the Forty
eighth regiment, U. S. V. (colored), on
board. In consequence OF the break
ing out of the plague in Honolulu, the
Grant was Obliged to put in here for
coal. Permission having been granted
by the authorities, dress parade OF the
regiment was held this afternoon and
great crowd witnessed the unusual
spectacle OF an armed body OF American
soldiery landing upon the shores OF
Japan.
The entire disappearance OF the
plague from Kobe and the occurrence
of no more sporadic cases in other parts
OF the empire, its ravages being no"
confined entirely to the city of Osaka,
is fact attracting much attention. In
the later city it has assumed its most
dangerous form. that of lung attack,
and has thus become the very breath OF
pestilence. In spite of this, however.
only 80 cases have occurred there.

Polk Dews. who lives on the Big
Applegate, below the Nick Wright
place, is opening promising ledge on
the hill west of the creek, says the Ash.
land Tidings. The first discovery of
this peculiar formation revealed only a
number of stringers, but they were
very rich in free gold and almost
wholly free from sulphurets. Further
prospecting shows these stringers to be
coming together, and Mr.. Dews now
has ledge about foot wide, and the
ore is of the most promising character.
Persons who have examined this dis.
covery think it will develop into per.
manent vein of much value. Mr.. Dews
is greatly pleased with his prospect. and
will push work as fast as possible ON
the ledge.

from two short side races, and was the
result OF eight or 10 days run.

sion was an original Democratic doc.

Saw Mill to Re Moved.


Patton & Holsches, of Scoggin val.
lev, have leased the old mill site. ~
miles west of Forest Grove, formerly
owned by Colonel T. Il Cornelius, and
will commence at once the removal of
their saw mill from Scoggin valley to
that point. The mill at this location
will be accessible to large supply of
the very finest yellow fir, and situated
10 miles from Seghers, where the lum.
Der will be loaded ON cars and shipped
to Eastern parties, who have placed
two large contracts with the mill.
There is not an idle saw mill in Wash
ington county, and this year, owing to
the demand for lumber outside OF the
state, will be the best year for the in.
dustry in the history of the county.
As to Issuing School Warrants.
The state superintendent has deliv.
cred an opinion to the effect that school
district warrants should not be issued by
the clerk or signed by the directors un-
til they have first been audited and
allowed; nor should the warrants be
delivered by the clerk until he has pro.
cured the signatures of the directors.
"The usual way OF doing this is at a
meeting OF the directors. After the
claim is audited, the warrant should
be signed as a part OF the transactions
of the meeting, and the clerk should
then deliver the same to the party to
whom it is due. 1t might, however,
come under some method OF procedure
covered by some bylaw that the board
has adopted"
To Saw More Lumber.
The lumber business is active in
Clackamas county, and new machinery
is being added to increase the capacity
of several mills. Miller Bros, OF
Eagle creek, are having improvements
made that will increase the cutting
capacity of their mill to 10000 feet
daily. F. l.. S. Bagby, of Bagby Bros,
Molalla, came up from Portland, where
he had placed orders for machinery
that will increase their cutting capacity
to $4,000 feet per day. The latter firm
is doing considerable business in the
way Of furnishing oak lumber to boat
builders in Portland

THE OREGON ELECTION.

Oregon is one OF the states which

therefore regarded as a sort OF polit-
ical straw, showing which way tbs
wind Of popular favor is blowing. The
election was held last week. The
campaign was long and hot one, all
the elements opposed to the Repuhl!-
cans having got together on fusion
ticket, and being further aided by the
Anti-ImperialistIc League. which Is
said TO have distributed some tons OF
literature" among the voters.
The main issue was made by the F'rl-
sionists on what they call imperial.
ISM" silver being side-tracked for the
time. Mr.. Bryan set the keynote of
the campaign, when he was there early
in the spring, and the Fusionists fol-
lowed his lead. \ few years ago or-
egon was a fusion state. and Psnnoyer
made himself as celebrated as Waite
did in this state. Two years ago the
Republicans carried the state by pIu-
ralIty OF about 5000; last week they
carried 1t again by a matocity OF about
10000. All the Republican state Of
ficers are elected, both Republican
congressman and the Legislature is
Republican in both branches.
