REACHING FOR OREGON CITY.
City and Suburban Leases ROadbed From
Southern Pacific.

Oregon City-Residents of Clackamas
say that negotiations have been con-
cluded by which the City & Suburban
railway company, of Portland, has
leased from the Southern Pacific COM
pany the railroad bed of that corpora.
tion between Willsburg and Clacka-
mas. There has for many' months
been rumors of such deal, and the an
nouncement of its consummation causes
much speculation locally The feasi-
bility of such an arrangement is recog-
nized since it is known that the South
ern Pacific company has taken the pre-
liminary steps to construct another
roadbed by which its west side trains
may reach Portland from the east side,
the Willamette river to be crossed at
Oswego. From that point the route of
the road will be northerly connecting
with the main line at Willsburg. An
other line will extend from the Oswego
crossing point up the river joining the
main line just below this city. In this
way the railroad company proposes to
avoid the existing heavy grades be-
tween this city and Willsburg, and at
the same time shorten the route by four
miles. The old line is to be used for
local trains while the heavy traffic will
be transferred to the new line.

CRUSH JAPS QUICK.
Russian Papers Advice to Its Govern
ment-IIl Feeling to America.

London, Oct. 2s,-special dispatches
from St. Petersburg report a growing
ill-feeling in Russia against both Eng
land and the United States, in conse-
quence of the supposed sympathy of
these countries for Japan. This feel
ing finds expression in the Novoe Vre-
mya, which, in commenting on the de-
cision of the Alaska boundary tribunal,
says it hopes that Canada will now
sever the ties connecting it with Great
Britain.
The Vrikina maintains bellicose at
titude, expressing the opinion that
neither Great Britain nor the United
States will interfere and Russia was
better prepared for war. This paper
urges that Japan had better be crushed
without delay.

BIGAPPROPRIATION
CHIEF OF ENGINEERS GIVES OUT
ESTIMATES FOR NORTHWEST.
Recommends That Congress Appropriate
$1,7SO,5OO for improving Rivers and
Eiarbors OF oregon, WashIngtoB and
Idaho-Bulk Of Msney to Go for Im-
provements on Columbia River.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-General Gil
lespie, chief of engineers, in his annual
report, made public today, recon-
mended the appropriation at the COM
ing session of congress Of tl,75O,000
for the improvement of rivers and har-
bors in Oregon, Washington and
Idaho.
The bulk of the money asked for is
needed to carry on work at the mouth
of the Columbia, to provide 25-foot
channel in the Willamette and Column
bia from Portland to the sea, and for
beginning the construction Of the ship
canal around the distractions in the
Columbia between The Dalles and
Cello.
For the former projects $500, 900
each is recommended, and for The
Dalles canal, $500, 900. These amounts,
added to the available balance, will
provide ample funds for continuing
work throughout the coming fiscal year,
and the fact that all three of these
works are now known as continuing
contracts" will probably mean that ap-
preparations therefor will be made in
the sundry civil bill and will not de-
pend upon the passage of a river and
harbor bill at the coming session.
General Gillespie estimates that it
will cost $2,673, 500 to complete the
improvement of the lower Willamette
and Columbia rivers, in addition to
$168, ,240, available from prior appro-
priations, while to complete the south
jetty at the mouth of the Columbia will
require $776, 181, in excess of the ST.
$50 900 still available and unexpended.
No estimate of the cost Of the new ca
nal at The Dalles has yet been made.
Among the other appropriations recon-
mended are:
Nine thousand dollars for carrying
out the revised project for improving
the Willamette between Portland and
Oregon City, as suggested by the spec
ial board of engineers; $4,000 for
uecDeUluK tllt CIdllilCl DCbWCSh all
couver, and the mouth of the. .Colum-
bia; $4,000 for completing the ap-
proaches and grounds around the canal
and locks at the Cascades; $4,000 for
continuing clearing of the channel of
the Snake river between Riparia and
Imnaha river; $4,000 for dredging
the Tillamook bay; $4,000 for Coos
river; 100000 for producing a greater
depth over the bar at the entrance OF
Coos Bay; 100000 for Coquille river,
and $500 for Clatskaanie river.
For strictly Washington improve
ments, the :. following amounts are
asked:
Lewis river, $4,000; Willapa river,
$1,000; entrance to Gray's Harbor,
$25 900; tributaries of Puget Sound,
$50, 900; Olympia harbor, $25, 900;
Tacoma harbor, $4,000; Everett har-
Dor, 100000; New Whatcom harbor,
$35, 900; Pen d'Oreille and 0kanogan
rivers, $1,000.

GREAT HATCHERY AT ONTARIO.
Enough Salmon Can Be PrOpogated
There to Keep Up Supply.

Salem-The newSstate salmon hatch
cry at Ontario is the largest of its kind
in the United States and perhaps in
the world, says state treasurer G. s.
Moore. The State Treasurer and Sec
retary of State Dunbar have just re-
turned from an official visit to Ontario,
where they inspected the new hatch
cry. They report everything in salts
factory condition and feel confident of
a good seasons work. A large number
of fish have been taken and good sup
ply of eggs seems certain.
"The new hatchery has a capacity of
40,OO0,000 young fry a year," says Mr..
Moore, (which is greater than the Ca
pacity of all the other hatcheries in
the state combined. We believe that
the problem of keeping up the supply
Of salmon has been solved and that
this will be clearly demonstrated in
four or five years when the product of
this hatchery begins to come back to
the Columbia river. Cannerymen say
that only about 100000 salmon
year are taken in the Columbia. If
only one in every 20 of the fish we
turn out at Ontario should come back,
we would have enough to keep up the
supply"

APPEAL TO RED CROSS FOR AID.
rIacedonian ms Ask Clara Barton to Re.
Iieve Their Distress.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Macedonia's
plea for aid in her distress was placed
before Miss Clara Barton, the head Of
the Red Cross society, today. Con-
stantine Stephanov, the special Mace
donian delegate, told Miss Barton of
the urgency of the situation and begged
her to take immediate action to insure
the forwarding of Red Cross relief to
Macedonia. Miss Barton asked for de-
tailed information as to the character
and scope of the aid needed, and said:
"The Red Cross feels that it would
be humane and noble thing for the
American people to undertake to re-
lieve the suffering in Macedonia.
Such a thing would be in keeping with
American tradition in other exigencies.
The situation, in view of the approach
of winter, would seem to require a sys-
tematic, substantial and immediate
effort on the part of the people general
ly. Diplomatically the problem would
be an extremely delicate one, and
would require discretion and experience
for its successful solution"

OFFICIALS SAID TO BE CRUEL.
American Missionaries In Congo Free
State Among COmpIalnants.

Washington, Oct. 28.-Although not
directly involved, the state department
is watching with interest the quarrel
between the British foreign office and
the administration of the Congo Free
State, which has led the former to de-
mand reconstruction and reformation
of the administration of the Free State.
The king of Belgium is the titular
holder of the suzerainty of this state
and he has supplied the state depart
ment with a detailed answer to the
charges made against the Congo admin
istration by the British government,
These charges are in substance that the
Congo officials have been guilty of NAL
administration, Of gross cruelty to the
natives and OF bad treatment of the
missionaries.

Two Thousand Head Of Hogs.

Enterprise-Kiddle brothers OF Is
land City are receiving 1000 head Of
hogs at different points in Wallowa
county. About 400 of the number are
fat hogs, while the balance are feed
ers, which they will drive to Island
City and intermediate points to fatten.
The price paid was four cents for feed
ers and four and one half cents for fat
hogs. The price of wheat and all other
grains is so high in this county this fall
that the farmers are selling off their
stock of hogs rather than feed them
and take chances.

Lump Is Of Iron.

Oregon City--It now seems an as
sured fact that the huge lump of iron
found on a farm near this city recently
is meteor. An assay has been made,
and it is found to be nearly pure iron,
with a trace of nickel. 1t is excessive
ly tough, and broke several hack-saw
blades in efforts to cut off small pieces.
The meteor is estimated to weigh
about 25 tons. The object had nearly
buried itself in the ground and has ap-
parently been there for years. When
struck with a metallic substance it
rings like bell.

Railroads Won't Cut Wages.

New York, Oct. 29.-Emphatic de-
NAL is made here by representatives OF
several important Western railroads to
widely circulated rumors that a con-
certed effort was to be made by West
ern roads to reduce wages. The opin-
ion was generally expressed that no
such plan was under consideration, and
in some quarters that such move
would not be feasible. Reduction in
expenses are being made by the West
ern roads in common with those in
other parts of the country, but by re-
duction in shop expenses.

How He Raises Big Crops.

Oregon City-George Randall, a
farmer residing near New Era, reports
a yield of $50 bushels of potatoes per
acre from a ten-acre field. The pota-
toes are of the Burbank variety and
above the average size. Mr.. Randall
accounts for his success in growing this
vegetable from the fact that he does
not seed the same ground TO this crop
for two or more successive seasons. He
raises a crop of potatoes only about
every four years from the same field.

For New ExtraditlOn Treaty.

Ambassador Porter has begun negotia-

extradition treaty between the United
States and France to cover bribery.
The formalities will take some weeks,
but the informal conferences indicate
the willingness of the French officials
to make the desired extension. 1t is
doubtful, however, whether they will
be willing to make the clause include
bribery committed before the clause
goes into effect.

Aberdeen, Wash, Oct. 2s, 3 A. NJ
A fire, which promises to equal in
magnitude the recent holocaust which
destroyed the major portion OF the
business part of Aberdeen, is now rag
ing, and the fire department is wholly
unable to cope with it.
AT an early hour this mroning fire
was discovered in the center al the
Commercial block. With indescriba-
BILE rapidity it has spread to the Glasgow
block, the postofiice, the Becker block
and the Y. NJ. G. A. building, all OF
which are now mass of flames.
The fire department is utterly power
less to stay the progress Of the flames,
which the wind is fast driving toward
the unburned portion of the town.
The Commercial block contained 10
stores, besides several which opened
temporary quarters there after the re-
cent fire.

Judge John A. Silvers is filling ev-
cry prediction made by his most
enthusiastic friends, in the conduct
OF his Office. This spring he over
hauled the records and in all cases
where settlements were not made
properly and in full, the parties were
cited to come before the court and
show the cause. A number OF cases
that had been left open for a long
term OF years were closed up, the par
ties in some cases coming from other
states. Every administrator and
executor who does not make prompt
settlements are required to givegood
excuses therefor. He has employed
ex-county clerk Broaddus to go
through all the papers in the Office
and arrange and classify them under
their correct headings and file them
away properly indexed. The county
court deserves much credit for this
as they readily saw the need Of such
work when pointed out by Judge
Silvers and promptly authorized him
to have the work done. Judge Silvers
is correct and methodical 10 his work,
is a good lawyer and is making Bates
county Probate Judge the people
can be proud OF.
