Davidson, an Amrican merchant,
who had Russian coal contract and
was or1sr red to leave Port Arthur on
February Is last, is now at Tsingtau.
He tells the Associated Press CORE

On account of the Russian warshipe

months and the enormous quantities o.

The Japanese have since then cut OF
the water supply, when the garrison
would have to depend entirely upon thu

the town must be getting water from
impure water wells, which would als'

Some of the bodies have not yet been

This appalling loss of life ana
manning OF the living resulted sppar'

given to the two trains to meet al y
station which has for long Tune
been their regular meetlng-point.
This action on the part OF the engl-

CINE rushed by the station, and mile
and a half further on came upon an
eastbound passenger train. The pos
sibility exists that the engineer may
have been asleep.
The trains were on time, and moi
making over 35 miles an hour, ye'
the impact as they rounded curve
and came suddenly upon each othel
was frightful. Both engines and ths
major portions of both trains were de

Moscow-M. L. Goldmsith, state
land selector, and @. Munson. special
appraiser of state lands, are in Moscow.
Mr. Goldsmith said the state would
have another land sale in Latah county
this fall, the same as was held last year
at this place, and that it would occur
sometime about the middle of Novem-
Der. 1t is proposed by the state board
to put up about seven sections at this
sale. This will include some agricul-
tural lands and some timber lands.
Contrary to the former policy of this
administration, some timber lands will
be offered for sale by the state, but only
those sections situated at such points
where the timber is being stolen from
them or where the timber is in great
danger of being burned. From Mr.
Goldsmith it was learned that the state
has made sufficient selections to cover
the land grants for the support of the
state university, and the Lewiston
normal school and some of the other
grants have been half or two thirds
filled.
