good joke and send it back home at
the very first opportunity, They care
fully considered all the jokes that were
sprung, and OF the entire list all but
one were regarded as likely enough to
merit consideration. The one bad joke
was that of the two salmon which met
out in the river, one bound upstream
and the other downstream, the former
replying to the latters question, Il will
go east II can Despite the fact that
the pioneer jokers decreed against this
bit OF humor. the joke has been sprung
since the year 1911, and it is part of
local history that man was hanged
for springing it In 1889. Fortunately,
present day Astorians are not accus-
toned to taking the law In their own
hands, else they might add few grew
some pages to local history.

Generals 0ku and KurOki
Join Forces and Advance
From VafangOw.

LIAOYANG, June 24.-It is reported
that Generals Oku and Kuroh have
Joined forces. and are advancing from
the direction of Vafangow.
There is talk Of serious engagement
shortly. 1t is also rumored that the
Japanese forces which were recently
advancing in this direction have fallen
back on Fengwangcheng.
The state Of tension existing may be
illustrated by the fact that the value Of
the ruble fell mysteriously at the
Russo-C Chinese Bank. At first this was
thought TO be the effect Of the result Of
the battle of Vafangow. but it was dis
covered later that Chinese from Port
Arthur had declared that the fortress
had been evacuated and that the troops
had sailed off on number of British
ships. The value Of the ruble has now
returned to the normal
1t is reported from Yinkow that they
are recruiting a number OF Chinese
bandits and are paying them good
wages.
