OREGON NEWS OF INTEREST
FINE TIMBER DESTROYED.
Fire on ncCully fountain Supposed
TO Have Been Set by Campers.

TO Have Been Set by Campers.
Albany-The forest fires which have
been raging in the mountains of Oregon
for the past ten days are having the
usual effect on valley towns. A pail
of smoke, 80 thick that the eyes burn,
hangs over Albany, and the herizon is
narrowed down to very short dis
tance. The sun looks like a ball of
fire, being almost hidden from view
a part Of the time.
The smoke in Albany is paraticular-
ly bad because of a fire in close p1oxim-
ity to the city. Just-east of Lacomb,
which is only about Is miles from AL
bany, is a fire which has been burning
for several days, and is doing inestima-
BILE damage. The fire is on the side of
MoCully mountain, which is covered
with one of the finest bodies of timber
in the county. There had been a num-
Der of fires in that section for some
time, but all were under control and
the loss was normal. Albany people
could see large column of smoke ris-
ing from the side of the mountain east
of Lacomb, and later came the news
that an immense and destructive fire
was sweeping over McCully mountain
with irresistible force. The fire is
thought to have been started by careless
campers, and the authorities are inves-
to see of the blame cannot be
fastened on someone.

MAYOR TO TRY
Chicago Executive Will Al
tempt to End Strike.
MEETS LEADERS OF BOTH SIDES
Numerous Conferences, With the
idea of EffeCfing Peace, Held,
But All Come to Nauqhf.

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Mayor Harrison
will attempt tomorrow to settle the
stockyards strike. He will meet to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock the rep
resentatives of the strikers and hear
their side of the controversy. Later in
the day he will have a meeting with
rep1 esentatives of the packers and listen
to their statement, and he will then
undertake the task of reconciling the
differences.
A large committee of the retail deal
ers called upon him this afternoon and
asked him to use his good offices in
ending the strike. The mayor said he
would gladly do all in his power to put
between him and the labor leaders was
at once arranged. The mayor then set
about arranging a meeting with the
packers, and they promptly sent him
word that they would meet him.
There were number of conferences
during the day, all having the settle
ment of the strike In view, but none of
them resulted in anything.
It IS settled that the alleged secret
meeting between the packers and the
strikers was arranged for by W. E..
Skinner, assistant general manager of
the Union Stockyards & Transit COM
pany, but it came to naught.
The numerous assaults that have
been taking place every day and night
in the neighbo1 hood of the stockyal ds
have stirred the police to more energet-
ic action.
President Donnelly and George F.
Golden, of the teamsters, have reached
an open clash, Donnelly declaring that
Golden had no right to go to the mail
carriers and get big contribution.
The teamsters have plenty of
money. They do not need any contri-
buttons, said Donnelly.
Police Inspector Hupt took sweeping
measures to stop the operations of pick
cts. He ordered the arrest of all pick
cts lettering about the yards, and
dozen we've taken into custody.
The $500 teamsters employed by re-
tail and wholesale markets will not
hereafter deliver nonunion meat. One
exception will be made. To save the
dealers from loss, meat already in cold
storage warehouses will he hanled

FEAR or SHARKS.
No More Reserves to Be Created in
the State of OreaOn.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE interior
department will not create any more
forest reserves in Oregon at this time
because it is afraid in 80 doing it would
open up endless opportunities for lieu
land operators"
This is the explanation given today
by an official who is handling forestry
matters under Secretary Hitchcock g
direction. While the bureau OF for
eetry. recommending the establish
ment of Blue mountain reserve, has
carefully drawn it's boundaries SO as to
exclude practically all private hold
ings, vet if a reserve should be created
on those lines, the department fears
that after the reserve was created, great
numbers of spectators would file en-
tries and allege settlement on land IN
the reserve prior to the time when the
original withdrawal was made.
The department officials admit 1t
would be comparatively easy thing
for speculaters to bring forward wit
nesses to swear falsely as to their hav-
ing established residence on this land,
and it would be almost impossible for
the government to secure evidence
which would justify the rejection OF
these entries. Once spectators estab-
lished their right to the reserve lands,
they would be entitled under the law
to relinquish them and make lieu se]ec-
tions of more valuable lands elsewhere.
"But,' says this official, "as reserves
are not created and land simply re-
mains withdrawn from entry, no base
for lieu selections can be created, and
the government is not in danger of los
ing by unfair exchange"

prepares for Final Stand.

Tienshiutien, Manchuria, Aug. II.
The relative positions of the Japan
ese and Russian armies are unchanged.
During the last few days the Russian
positions along the Mukden road have
been steadily strengthened, and 1t ap-
pears as though General Kuropatkin
has planned to make his final stand at
the Lao Yang position. Owing to
cessation of the rain, the rivers have
fallen and great activity has been the
rule in the japanese commlssary.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-THE Boerse
Gazette has received the following DIS
patch from it's Lao Yang correspond
ent: "Twelve japanese regiments have
lett in the direction of Polt Arthur. 1t
is stated on trustworthy authority that
the mikado has ordered that Port Ar
thur must be taken at any cost, even If
it necessitates the suspension of opera
tions in Manchuria, and it is quite
probable the main japanese force will
proceed to Port Arthur within a few
Gays. Rain has stopped all opera
tions."

BRING HIGH PRICE.
Last Years Hops Sell Well, and
Picking Soon Begins.

Salem-Krebs Brothers, hopgrowers
and dealers, have reported the purchase
of 156 bales of 1908 hops from the A.
j. Luce Hop company at 25 cents.
This is the highest price paid for some
time. Speaking of the hop situation,
Leonard Krebs said that the greatest
danger is that growers will begin pick
ing too early. Some are talking of be-
ginning September l, which Mr.. Krebs
says is fully week too soon.
In the Butterville, Hubbard, Aurora
and St., Paul districts in particular the
hops are usually too green, causing a
loss in weight and also in quality.
Mr.. Krebs says that in view of the ab-
sence of vermin this season, there is no
danger in letting the hops remain on
the vine until they are ready for pick
ing.

WILL FIGHT TO BITTER END.
Russia Less Inclined Than Ever to
Consider Mediation.

London, Aug. 1.-The Paris cores
pondent of the Times states that accord
ing to authentic information the con-
tinued defeats to the Russian arms
have not modified the resolute determ-
ination in responsible quarters to pur-
sue the war to the bitter end. He con-
tinued:
"It has been said that the Japanese
might .be prepared to consider such
conditions of peace as would not in
volve the danger of a renewal of the
war within comparatively short time.
There is good reason to believe, how
ever, that in St. Petersburg there is less
inclination than ever to entertain any
idea of a termination of hostilities
until Russian prestige has been thor
oughly relieved.
''There is still an immutable convic-
tion in responsible Russian quarters
that in the end Russian arms must be
victorious, even should the eventual
fal. of Port Arthur be followed by 9TH
er reverses. The opinion in Russian
government circles is that the resources
of the empire ,r the purposes of war
is practically inexhaustible that Rus
sia will find all the money she requires
to carry on hostilities fol several years
to come.
"The idea OF mediation, which may
have been unde, taken by
France and Germany, has throughout
the war been secuted by both belliger-
ents. At the present moment the
chances of its being taken into consid-
Grafton by Russia are much more re-
mote than ever.''

Exhibits of State.

Salem-From information that has
been received by Secretary Wylie A..
Moores, of the state fair board, it is
evident that the state fair next month
will equal, if not excel the splendid
expositions which have been held here
for the last five years. There are more
horses in training on Lone Oak track
now than ever before at this time Of
the year. Many breeders of livestock
who have never been here before are
making arrangements to come with
their herds, and the livestock depart
ment will be as great an attraction as
ever. Space in the main pavilion is
being rapidly taken for county and gen.
eral premium exhibits, and many new
displays will be seen.

GREATEST or NAVAL BATTLES.
Port Arthur Engagement Is Shown
by Official Reports,

st. Petersburg, Aug. 16.-Not since
the beginning of the war between Jap
an and Russia has anything 30 obvious
ly affected Russian spirits as the grad
ual revelation of the extent of the Port
Arthur squadron's reverses. Details
of Rear Admiral Withoeft's fatal sortie
are not known to the general public
even at this hour, though the contents
of the report of Captain Matousevitch,
Admiral Withoeft's chief of staff, to the
emperor. gradually permeated official
circles in the course of the day. The
captains statement was issued late to-
night in the form of an official report.
Captain Matousevitch makes it clear
that the Port Arthur squadron fought
what probably was the greatest battle
of ironclads since steel replaced wood
in naval construction. The effort of
the Russians to fight their way through
the Japanese would probably have
been successful had it not been for the
disaster to the battleship Czalevitch,
which compelled the squadron to fight
second battle, ending in the dispersal
of the Russian fleet in the darkness.
4uc ASSOCldt0O L T0SS JGdIuS CudG tn0
awful mortality of the officers of the
Czarevitch, which was merely stated in
the; official report, is due to the fact
that Admiral Withoeft and most OF his
officers were gathered on the bridge
during the action in order to set an ex
ample to and encourage the men, in
stead of remaining in comparative saf-
ETY. in the protection of the coming
tower. A Japanese shell burst beneath
the bridge, wrecking that part of the
ship and killing or wounding every
officer on duty thereabouts.
One of the most important features
of Captain Matousevitch' dispatch,
aside from its grimly brief account of
the battle, is the detailed statement of
the makeup of Rear Admiral Togo's
feet, which consisted of six battlesh1ps,
IL cruisers of various classes and ap-
proximately 80 torpedo boats.
According to this statement there
were in line of battle some ships PIE
viously reported destroyed. This gives
an indication of Japan's naval force
which Admiral Togo has hitherto con-
cealed.
