ASYLUM NrEDs AN ADDITION.
Steady increase Of Insane Is Crowd
Ing Buildings CspscIty.

Salem-The steady increase In the
number Of patients at the state insane
asylum will make necessary the con-
struction OF new cottage next year,
with room for 100 patients. Such q
cottage, TO be constructed at the asy-
lum farm, will cost about $4,000 and
the Legislature will be Hkeed TO appro-
pirate money for that purpose. The
growing population will also necessi-
tate the construction Of q new dining
room at a cost OF 90, 200, the new adj
dition to be 40x40 feet and two stories
high.
The last legislature appropriated
money for the expense Of replacing
number Of wornout lavatories and
that work has been attended to.
Other old lsvstories and sewer connec-
tions have become faulty with age and
must be replaced. To put these in
good condition will require an appro-
priation Of $4,000
The asylum building has not been
painted for many years and because OF
that fact it is rapidly showing the
effects Of time and storm. 6uperin-
tendent Calbreath will recommend in
his bi, nnial report that the main
building be repainted throughout.
This will cost about $4,000. All the
permanent Improvements needed at
that Institution will cost in the neigh
borhood OF t55, 900.
At the reform school, mute school
and blind school only minor repairs
and improvements will be necessary
ana not very heavy appropriations win
be needed for them. At the state pris-
on many improvements have been
made in the past year without definite
appropriation and not much in the way
of large improvements will be needed
at that institution next year. The las.
legislature passed an act providing that
the proceeds Of convict labor shall con-
stitute a betterment fund, which may
be expended for repairs and improve
menis under the direction of the COVER
nor. BY virtue of this act money has
been expended from time TO time and
the prison property has been put in
good condition.

the revolutionists were not actively

BLOCKADE TIGHTENING.
Absence OF News from Port Arthur
Alarms the SlaNs.

AuTNS lN& StaNas
ST. Petersburg, Sept. 2S.-The entire
absence Of aews from Port Arthur, II
is feared, indicates = closer blockade
there. Hitherto, dispatches from
General Etoessel have been coming
through semi-weeGly. The admiralty
has mot received any details Of the re-
ported sea nght Of Aniya, at the SOUTH
eastern extremity Of sahalin. The
vladivostok squadron, II iS understood,
is still In the harboE. Ths cannonad-
ing at Aniva was probably Japanese
attack on blockade runners.
A telegram received here from Bat.
oum reporting that reserves are being
transported along the Caucasian coast
brings the first intimation that troops
are beng mobilized there. There are
only two army corps in the Caucasus,
and one Of them has apparently been
ordered 10 the Far East.
Prince sviatopolk-Mirsky was re-
ceived In audience yesterday by the
emperor. The prince will assume
charge Of the ministry Of the interior
today.
The latest Developments in the stu
alton at the front is the definite estab.
lishment OF the fact that Field Marshal
Oyama has now begun TO move up his
left. General Kuropatkin's report
shows that the japanese have reached
Davan. on the west bank Of the Lao
river. A considerable concentration Of
Japanese 10 observed at Sianchsn, on
the Hun river, SO miles southwest Of
Mukden, and japanese cavalry is mass
ing in the vicinity Of the Pu river.
The latter is 8 tributary of the Hun
river, which crosses the line OF railway
midway between Tie pass and Mukden,
and may furnish natural line Of ad-
vance from the west.
0yama's armies now apparently COW
or front OF go miles for enveloping
movements. His wings are extended
to the northeast and west of Mukden.
Thus far the Russians have found little
strength of pressure from the Japanese
center. Oyama seems to be moving
with great deliberation, probably gath
ering strength for rapid advance Of
both wings when an attempt is made
TO close the net.
Although the imaginary line connect
ing the extreme Japanese advance and
west Of Mukden still passes ten miles
below that city, 1t is evident that the
fate OF Mukden cannot long be delayed.
II General Kuropatkin intends to try
TO hold thecisy Aahting on his TANKS

OREGON NEWS OF INTEREST
CATTLE WILL STARvr.
Farmers Did Not Rotate Crops, and
arc Short OF Feed.

81 SbtVAN W bN~As
galem--"The unfortunate situation
in which Willamette valley farmers
find themselves this year because Of q
shortage Of feed for their stock is q
cause foi regret, epecially since it IL
entirely unnecessary. When J. X.
Sears said in sn interview 3 few days
ago that cattle will starve in the valley
this winter for want Of feed be told the
plain truth 1t isa truth we dislike
to acknowledge, but 1t should teach us
lesson"
This is an assertion made by Director
James Withycombe, Of the Oregon ex-
perimental station, at Corvallis, while
he was attending the state fair.
~ don't mean that any large proper.
tion Of valley livestock will starve, OF
that they will die because Of the en-.
tire absence Of feed. What mean,
and what Mr.. Sears evidently meant,
was that feed is 80 scarce that many
farmers will put their stock on very
short rations, with the result that
they will become emaciated and will
die from disease or exposure. Call it
what you will, it is starvation.
"Now refer TO this only because ]
want to say and prove that it is con-
dition that lie as unnecessary as 1t is un-
fortunate. This has been q very dry
season, such as Willamette valley
farmers had no reason to expect, but
this does not excuse their being unpre-
pared for it. Our experience at the
agricultural college farm shows that if
crops were rotated as they should be,
the yield Of hay would not have been
light, and spring.sown grain would
have produced well, Notwithstanding the
lack of lain."
