OREGON ITEMS.

The o. r. & N. Co. at La Grande has
promoted 20 firemen to the position Of
locomotive engineers within the past
two years.
James H. Gwinn. secretary of the
Oregon Woolgrowers' association, is
hopeful that the sheepmen Of Oregon
and Union county will receive good re-
turns from the clips In the spring, and
does not believe. as has been reported,
that the price Of wool will have to fall
before 1t will be bought by the COM
mission men.
Because he could not hear himself
swear and thus give vent to his anger
when a stick of wood he was splitting
struck him in the face, William Rogers,
an IS year old deaf mute of Portland,
turned the ak and tried to chop OF his
head. Three terrific cuts he made,
then fell, unconscious. His mother
heard the dull sound Of the blows and
ran to the yard to find her soon bleed
ing from his self inflicted wounds.

entrance Of the Port Arthur harbor
on Friday and again on Saturday with
out any notice being taken of the craft
by the Russians. The correspondent
states that the fort on the western
side of the mountain, three quarters
of mile from the harbor mouth, seem
ed to be completely dismantled as a
result of the Japanese shell fire. The
same is true of the forts along the
Tigers Tail peninsula.
Sunken Ship.
On the east of the harbor entrance
there was visible the masts of a
sunken ship, while the harbor contain
ed many destroyers, apparently In a
damaged condition. The correspondent
reports encountering the British collier
Foxton Hall, which was in the harbor
during the bombardment. The crew
confirmed the report from Japanese
sources that the squadron on March 10
silenced all of the Russian forts. The
crew declares that the Russian loss
on this occasion was SO killed and
more than 100 wounded.
The rumor Of the evacuation Of Port
Arthur is repeated from different
points, but is absolutely without con.
firmation. According to the St. Peters
burg correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph, vague rumors are current there
that later kilograms describe the bonn
bardment Of Port Arthur a. much
more serious than has been admitted
officially.

ticularTy the absence or rltf1anS ana rude horse play in a Japanese crowd. Many strange things strike one all over Japan. There are laws and regulations for every feeling and emotion. A bride wears mourning because she leaves her home and her parents. A widower mourns three months and then con- soles himself with No. 2. A widow mourns thirteen months. One readily sees the difference in estimate of the loss of husband or wife, while the loss of baby under three months is never looked upon as an occasion for mourning.
 The most Japanese of all products in the empire is the lacquer, as the name of the country means lacquer. The largest area of land is. devoted to sthe cultivation of rice, and the whole land is cultivated like a garden. The year begins in the spring, when the feasts of cherry blossoms, plums, wistaria, etc, gladden. the hearts of the people. Then all work stops, and every man, woman and child bows before the beau ties of nature in her fresh loveliness, homage that no other nation in the world finds time to beStow upon her In the mad struggle for existence. The cherry and the plum trees are cultiyat- ed not for their fruit, but for the per lection and beauty of the blossoms.
 Some of the Japanese gardens are the most elfish affairs. For thousand years the Japanese have propagated variegated plants and dwarf trees. Ev- cry man has his pet tree in his home interior tied and twisted into the most weird shape, an epitome of the great trees that grow under heavens own blue, untouched by the transforming hand of cultivation and art. Every one in Japan. be he rich or poor, seems to have an inherent love for flowers. They are part of the peoples life as well as the motive of their best art.

THE DRAMA

A large audience, thoroughly repre-
of Honolulu society and cul-
ture, gathered i'm the opera house last
night to see Miss Ethelinda Schaefer's
Greek play "Alcibiades,' and showed
appreciation by frequent and hearty
applause The subject is an ambi-
tious and difficult one, both for the
playwright and those who made up the
cast of characters, but the production
was successful to a degree of which
the young authoress and her friends
must feel proud.
The stage setting and costuming were
excellent and the young amateurs
showed the results of very good train
ing. The lines, difficult to render as
is always the case in productions of
the kind, were as a rule spoken with
clearness and good effect. w. d.
Adams and Mrs. Hoffman assisted in
the preparation and staging of the
play The play is in four acts. The
following synopsis of the plot shows
it's high scope and fine dramatic oppor-
tunities
"Zeus has called an assembly of the
Gods in Olympus to demand their aid
in the overthrow of Alcibiades,
wealthy and popular Athenian noble
man, through whose recklessness and
treachery Great Athens had lost her
power The Gods promise their aid
and descend to the earth, planning the
capture and death of the traitor.
"Alcibiades is captured while on his
midnight revels but is rescued by the
/ vtshA
gainsay. The following night as Helen
the High Priestess, sleeps while guard
ing the sacred fire, Eros pierces her
heart with love for the man she first
behOlds on awakening. The maiden
wakes to see Alcibiades quenching the
holy flame. Her sister estals accuse
her of having committed the crime and
as her love for Alcibiades restraints
her from telling the truth, she is con-
demned to die. Lamachus, the friend
of Alcibiades, overhears her condemna-
ton and, knowing her innocence, would
| fain rescue her but fears for the
safety of Alcibades. The latter, hav-
ing been captured outside the city walls
suddenly appears and accuses Lama
chus of the crime. The love of Lama
chus for his friend causes him to take
the guilt on himself though his life
and honor be the forfeit.
Helen, FALLING on the gods for
strength, betrays the falseness and
perfidy of Alcibiades. The Gods enter
confirming her words and pronounce
the doom Of the traitor"
The four acts are set in Olympus. a
street in Athens, The Temple of Hes
tia and an outer court of the Temple
The cast of characters was as follows:
Zeus, king OF Gods and Mem .....
