Winter Wheat Pronounced Good
Throughout the Entire
Country
RYE CROP ALSO YIELDS WELL
Spring Grain Is Bad In About One Third cl
the Country, But Outlook Is
Encouraging

ST. Petersburg. August s,~-(Corres-
rondenee OF The Associated Press.)-A
statement has been issued showing the
official crop prospects for European Rus
STA up To u fortnight ago. Winter
wheat Is pronounced good in the south
west, comprising nearly all the country
up to the Dneiper, Il strip from the
hcadwaters OF this river to the German
frontier, small part Of the central
black earth belt and considerable
stretches south of the Don and the ko-
una. respectively, 1t is declared salts
factory In all the other wheat districts
except comparatively small districts
around kharkouv, Nizhuy, Novgorod
and on the other hand on the right
bank of the Dvina.
Rye is elassed as good in the lower
half of the trans Dneiper southwest be-
tween Zhitomir and Gradno. almost all
the way between Nizhuy. Novgorod and

Spring grain is bad or unsatisfactory

however, excellent crops are expected
from kovno to Etaterinoslav and south
to the line between these cities and

The remaining satisfactory districts

LYNChING IS DENOUNCED

New York. August i7.--Dr. Robert $,
Macarthur, pastor OF the Calvary nap-
tist church. has vigorously denounced

his sermon he said:

ours is the only country on the globe
that roasts at the stake men uneondem-

pagan land where such atrocities are
committed.
We must Insist that sheriffs and other
officers Of the law shall be fearless In
the defense Of :heir prisoners. even

Praises The
High School
DR.. Hill Of Portland Says Astoria
Principal Educational lnstitu.
ton Is Well to the Front

pr. J. W. Hill. principal and p.vp-
rietor Of the Hin Military Academy,
Portland, arrived in the city yesterday,
accompanied by his wife, en- route for
North Beach. He is registered at the
0ccldent.
rr, Hin is one Of the most prominent
educators in the Pacific Northwest, He
has lived in Oregon since 1878, ana has
been engaged continuously since that
time in the boarding school business at
Portland. for twenty-three years as
lessee and principal of the Bishop Scott
Academy, and the last two years as
proprietor and principal of the Hin Mil
itary Academy, During his extended
career he has had under his tuition hun
dreds of sons of the leading citizens
throughout he Northwest. Among AS
tnrians are Arthur Manner, William L.
Tallant, Mark and William Warren
Max Young's three sons, Capt, Hiram
Browns two sons, Herman Wise and
Others
One secret of the doctors popularity
with his students is that "once his boy
always his boy" The doctors new
school has been success beyond the ex
pectations OF his warmest admirers,
At the close of the first year the ca
pacity of the large building was taxed
to the Utmost, and last year II was
necessary to open another cottage to &C
Commodate the overflow. The location
Of the school is in the very best part
Of the residence section and it is not
very far from the site of the Lewis and
Clark fair grounds. The buildings are
new, modern and up-to-date in every
particular. The school is non-sectarian
and is conducted by the doctor on strict
ly business principles. There are no
boards or trustees to interfere in the
management OF the institution. He has
surrounded himself with an exceeding
ly strong faculty; his teachers are col
lege graduates, and have been with him
from three to twelve years,
Interviewed at the hotel yesterday, DR..
Hill said: The state of Oregon is far
in advance of many of the older states
in educational advantages. The many
local high schools. of which your own is
a splendid exponent, have made rapid
Strides in modern methods of imparting
instruction, and the teachers are as
conscientious and painstaking as can be
found in any community. The state In
stitutions at Corvallis and Eugene have
made most marked advance along the
lines above mentioned. Another Pc
culiarity is. notice. that our Oregon
boys. trained In Oregon schools, hold
their own with any boys when they go
to the large institutions In the East"
DR.. Hill leaves today for the beach.
His academy opens for the fall term
September Is, and as he wishes to rest
up thoroughly he decided that it would
be folly to remain here for the regatta:
Il know what sort OF entertainment
you Astorians are in the habit Of pro-
viding. at the regattas," he said, "and
the man who comes here for rest will
find that there is nothing to be had but
good time, and 80 I must forego the
pleasure of nhngling with the crowds"

Russia Fears for Safety Of the
Polar Explorer Baron
Toll
LEFT QUARTERS IN JUNE. 1902
Three Relief Parties Now in Search Of the
Scientist and Associates...No Word
From Them

st. Petersburg, July Si.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press,)-The
Imperial Academy of Science is begin
ming to entertain most serious fears for
the polar explorer Baron Toll, from
whom nothing has been heard since he
left the yacht zaria, July Is, 1902. in
company with two Yakouts and start
ed for Bennett Island, The Zaria left
its winter quarters early in June last
year to find Baron Toll as well as his
associates, the BIOLOGIST Birouliu who
had gone TO New Siberia, The vessel
was unable to accomplish its mission
and returned late in the season TO the
River Lena. Birouliu escaped across
the ice. Three relief parties We're sent
out by the academy this last spring.
Lieutenant Kolchask and Engineer
Erosnav each with a number of ex-
parieuced Yakouts and coast people pro
ceeded towards New Siberia and Ben
nett Island, while Lieutenant Mattise
undertook to recover the Zaria. Dr.
Brosnav was also accompanied by a
number of Russian and native traders
who make annual journeys to this coast
for mammoth tusks and furs while
Lieutenant kolchask took with him a
portion of the former crew of the Zaria
There seems to be no doubt that they
reached New Siberia quite early in the
season as the ice was very strong and
the present hope is that Baron Toll may
have been able to return to New ST.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES


 Rev Willard Beard preached to a large audience in the Congregational church, Sunday morning, and his dis course was especially interesting as he considers himself a representative of this particular church, of which he is still a member. He constantly re- ferred to his field in China as our field to which the church in Huntington had sent him. MT Beard also spoke on the need of woman's school build ing in Foo Chow and as Mir Beard had previously spoke of desire on the part of Rev Edward Seymour to build a memorial for his father, Rev Bella N. Seymour, somewhere in China, the matter of getting contribution from each church over which Rev B. N. Seymour had been pastor to add to the fund from his estate was discussed. It was voted that this church have a part in this memorial and that the matter be left in the hands of pastor and deacons. It is hoped that the money will be immediately raised for a suitable building which it is evident the women of Foo Chow are so much in need of. Special mention should be made of the music at the morning ser vice. Robert Latin had the choir in charge uand accompanied on the violin very pleasingly. His cousin, Albert Latin, of Waterbury, led the singing with his magnificent tenor voice, and the large audience joined in with en- thuSiaSm.
