OREGON NEWS OF INTEREST
HOP CROP WILL BE GOOD.
Linn County Growers See No Lice.
but Spray Nevertheless.

Eugene-The Spraying of hops in
this county is now in progress, and in
some yards is completed, and nothing
now remains but for the hops to form
and ripen. There are no evidences of
lice of any consequence, but the grow
ers will spray just the same as if there
were millions, for they know full we'll
how little time it takes for them to
make their appearance and ruin crop
just as it is about ready to be harvested.
Reports regarding the probable yield
indicate that the crop will not be quite
so heavy as last year in most of the
yards, the dry weather having ten
dency to cut short the yield, even
though in most cases the vines have
remained perfectly green and fresh.
The growth seems not to have been SO
strong as usual. The total output of
the county, however, now promises to-
be greater than year ago, or on any
former year, the acreage being greater
than ever before. If everything goes
we'll from now until picking time, even
though there should be no more rain,
it is safe to say this county will turn
out more than an average crop of hops.

GREAT BRITAIN PACIFIED.
Settlement of Red Sea Seizures
Satisfactorily Arranged.

St. Petersburg, July 27.-The Asso-
ciated Press is able to state on the
highest authority that the Russian and
British governments have agreed on a
mutually satisfactory basis for settle
ment of the question of the status of
Russian volunteer feet steamers in the
Red sea and the seizures by them of
British ships. A few minor points
still remain unsett led, but these will
probably be cleared up tomorrow, and
it is not expected that further compi-
cations will arise.
Great credit for the satisfactory term
ination of this incident is due Foreign
Secretary Lamsdolf, who, it is ad-
mitted, acted in the calm and concilia-
tory spirit worthy of great statesman.
The attitude of Sir Charles Hardinge,
the British ambassador, both ior mod
Grafton and dignity, also evokes praise.

JApSSEECAUSE
Russia Believed to Be Ready
to End the War.
LOOKING FOR A GOOD EXCUSE
Opinion Expressed in Japan That
Action of Cars Fleet Will In
tensify Unfriendliness.

Toxic, July 27.-The acts of the
Vladivostok squadron in the Pacific
and of the volunteer fleet in the Red
sea strengthen the belief here that Rus
sia IS deliberately seeking to effect
America, England and Germany, in the
hope of finding an avenue for retiring
gracefully from a disastrous war.
There is no argument over the right of
Russia to seize neutral vessels carrying
actual contraband of war, but the wis.,
dom of destroying neutral prizes with
out trial. unless the subject is to in
volve other powesr, is generally ques-
toned.
1t is believed that America will re-
fuse to recognize Russia g extended list
OF contrabsnd and will speedily demand
limitation to articles reasonably con-
traband, in order to protect her large
Oriental commercial interests.
1t is expected that Great Britain will
protest against the sinking of the
Knight Commander and demand trial
for seized British steamers, and that
Germany will make second and more
vigorous protest.
The Vladviostok warships are hover
ing about the course of the steamers
from San Francisco, probably with the
hope of overhauling the liner Korea.
Warning, however, has been given to
the Korea and shs has chance Of elud-
ing the Russians.
There will probably be other seiz-
ures, and whatever be- the determina-
tion of the legal questions involved, or
whatever diplomatic action be taken,
it is confidently believed here that the
seizures will create feeling of intense
| irritation and unfriendliness against
Russia in America, England and Ger
many.
Japan is anxious to localize the COM
bat and avoid involving other powers,
but views with unfriendliness the acts
of aggression against friendly neutrals
and treaty violations disadvantageous
to herself. In the latter connection
Japan regards the affair of the passage
of the volunteer fleet through the Dar-
danelles as of more importance than
the acts of the vessels subsequent to
such passage,

RAIDS TO CEASE.
Protests of Britain and Germany
Needed by Russia.

st. Petersburg, July 27.-Grand
Duke Alexis presided at yesterdays
council, which Count Lamsdorf, the
foreign secretary, and Vice Admiral
Avellan, chief of the admiralty depart
ment, and other high naval officials at
tended.
The result of the conference removes
all doubts concerning the present atti-
tude of Russia with regard to the vol
untee1 fleet. The validity of the view
expressed in the British note regarding
the irregularity of the position of the
vessels was go far admitted that the
council agreed to waive the right of
search.
After long discussion. in which
Count Lamsdorff took leading part,
it was decided that the present status
of the volunteer fleet was not sufficient
ly we'll defined according to inter ma
tional law to render further searches
and seizures advisable and that there
fore Russia, in the interests of friendly
relations with the powers should with
draw the authority given the volunteer
feet in this respect.

Eastern Oregon Lands Nay Yet
Be lrriOafed

Washington, July 26-It now ap-
pears that the Malheur irrigation prof.
ect in Eastern Oregon will become a
reality, and not have to be abandoned,
as was feared. Advices were received
by Chief Engineer Newell, of the re-
clamation service, today to the effect
that the farmers living along Malheur
river have aroused themselves and in
tend to submit to the government
their written promise to cooperate
with the government in constructing
this irrigation work. Mr.. Newell's crit
icism of these farmers, expressed
through these dispatches a short time
ago, and his threat to remove his en-
gineers from Malheur country unless
the farmers acted on his suggestion,
has had the desired effect, and the To-
cal engineers are now convinced that
before long the farmers along the NAL
heaur river will comply with the gov
ernment's requirements. If farmers
cooperate, they will have to pay but
So per acre per year for 40 years, in
order to- get water from the govern
ment reservoirs onto their lands, and
at the end of that time the entire works
will be turned over to the users of
the water. The government will mere
ly retain control of the work of con-
| struction until the cost has been re-
paid by settlers who are benefited.
Work along the Malheur river is in
such shape that as soon as the farm
ers owning lands within the proposed
irrigation area pledge themselves to
pay the required amount, the govern
ment will be ready to make final sur
veys and plans preparatory to letting
contracts. In the eyes of the engin-
eers this project is no longer ques-
tionable, but one that promises com
plete success.
| It remains with the farmers to say
when work shall commence. 1t is ex-
planned in this connection that the
government will not accept a partial
promise Of cooperation, or promises
from only part of the farmers within
the irrigation district. Every man
who will be benefited by this work
must pledge himself to contribute his
share of the cost before the govern
ment will adopt the project.
The government today advertised
for bids for $4,000 barrels of Portland
cement to be used on the Minodoka
irrigation project in Southern Idaho
Bids will be received by Engineer D
w. Ross, at Boise. until August rs.

SHEEP SwARniNG IN.
Thousands are Being Moved Onto
Cascade Forest Reserve.

Salem-The news has reached this
city to the effect that the country in
the neighboIhood of Breitenbush, in
the western part of the Cascade forest
reserve, is threatened with devastation
OF vegetation by reason of the encroach-
ment of the Eastern Oregon sheepmen,
with their enormous focks of sheep.
Already hundreds OF sheep are to be
seen in the vicinity OF Detroit, and, it
is said, there will be no less than 49,
900 head in that part of the reserve be-
fore the grazing season closes.
There is quetsion of whether the
grazing permits contemplate the en-
croachment upon this territory, and
the settlers in that section are vigor-
ously protesting against it.
Hon. John Mimic has returned from
visit to Mimic pass through the Cas-
cades, and reports the encroachments
of Eastern Oregon sheepmen on the
western part of the forest reserve
are alarming the people of that part
of the country. Mimic said that be.
tween Warm Springs and Detroit, a
distance of 16 miles, he passed through
six miles of sheep, 1,700 in number.
Mimic considers it an outrage, as he
does not think the sheepmen have the
rights so far west as they are coming.
but they claim they have stretch two
townships wide there, and will bring
900 sheep into the district.
Summer cutters and others there are
worried, thinking the sheep will de-
stroy all pleasure, and also the oppor
tunity for keeping domestic animals.

SCHOOL ALL THE YEAR.
Change Under Contemplation at Orc
gon Agricultural College.

Corvallis-The faculty of the Ore
gon Agricultural college has been in
structed to prepare a plan for contin-
uous school at the college, and to re-
port the same for the consideration of
the board of regents at the annual
meeting next July. The action was
taken at the last meeting of the board.
The proposal for the continuous col
lege session is an innovation on the
coast, but is much in vogue among
larger institutions in the East. The
college year closes about June IL, ordi
narily, and opens about September 20.
There are those who believe that many
students, were a fourth term added to
the year, would continue in attendance,
enabling them to gain year in taking
the college course. Steps taken so far
are only preliminary, and future action
by the board is necessary to determine
whether or not the plan will be finally
inaugurated.

japanese Holding Them Back fol
the Final Blow at Port Arthur.

On Board the Mikasa. Admiral
Togo's flagship, off Port Arthur, July
20, via Fusan, Corea, July 26.-In re-
ply to addresses made to him by the
newspaper correspondents who are on
board the steamer Manchuria, Admir-
al Togo said, modestly, that he felt
complimented to learn that the world
was interested in his victories, and it
was his desire. through the press, to
send his thanks to those persons who
admire him.
The Japanese naval policy is to hold
their larger warships in reserve until
the time comes to deliver a crushing
blow at Port Arthur. In the mean
time, torpedoboats are to make con-
stant and harassing attacks. Every
night the Japanese lay mines at the
harbor entrance. The entrance to the
port is now clear.
The steamer Manchuria is making a
tour of the theatre of war with mem
bers of the Japanese Diet, foreign at
taches and newspaper correspondents
on board

Probable Action of Russia.

St. Petersburg, July 26.-While not
admitting the illegality of the action
of the Russians in converting vessels
of the volunteer fleet into warships af-
ter they had reached the Red sea, it is
probable, in view of the fact that neu-
tral ships did not receive previous
notice, that Russia, in order to remove
the shadow of cloud upon their
right to fly the war flag, will formally
notify the powers of their conversion
into warships, thus putting all neu-
trails upon their guards. In the mean
time. ali the ships seized will be re-
leased.

Toxic, July 27.-The passage of the
Dardanelles by the Russian volunteer
fleet steamers, the seizures of German
mail and the capture in the Red sea by
Russia of the Peninsula1 & Oriental
steamer Malacca have attracted great
attention throughout Japan. Tie
government is watching the situation
keenly, but it has not given any form

matter.
