KEEPS THEM MOVING.
japanese Movements Do Not Give
Russians Time to Get
Located.

Tientsin, March 1O.-According to
circumstantial reports the Japanese
have secured foothold in Southern
Manchuria, and are now in force sew
enty miles east of Newchwang. Not
only that, but they have succeeded in
attaining position that threatens the
Russian connections with Port Arthur
and Newchwang. If they are success
full in the impending battle, they will
be enabled to cooperate with the army
now in Northern Korea, with head
quarters in Pingyantg, and make I'M
tenable the Russian entertainments
along the Yalu River.
BY a series of rapid marches the
Japanese succeeded in surprising the
Russian force that had been sent to
throw up entertainments at Fenghuang-
cheng, and compelled them to abandon
the position, the Russians berg out
nubered and unable to secure the com
manding position planned The jap
anese army then marched northward to
an eastern pass to Tackungling, and
are now moving on Haitscheng and
Lioyang, where force of 35, 900 Rus
slams are sstrongly entrenched
An engagement is imminent at the
latter place, and if the Japanese are
successful the line of communication
with Port Arthur will be cut, endan-
gering the safety of the fortress, while
Newchwang and its port, Yinkow, are
almost certain to fall.
In their present movements the Jap
anese are following almost exactly the
same tactics that secured them sue
cess in the Cbinese-Japanese war, and
are moving over precisely the same
ground. The rapidity of the Japan
csc movement has bewildered the Rus
sian commanders, and the result is
that many small parties have been cut
off and compelled to fight.
All of these skirmishe shave proved
costly to the Russians, who have lost
quite number of men. This, how
ever, is not the worst, as the apparent
incompetency of their commanders has
disheartened the Russian troobps, who
continually are unable to fight with
the spirit that means victory.

sHINGLE COMBINE LOSES.
Verdict Rendered Against IL IN
Gibbs Case.

Verdict Rendered Against IL In
Gibbs Case.
Tacoma, March THE federal
jury in thee ase of s. A. Gibbs against
the Western Washington Red Cedar
Shingle Manufacturers Association
brought in verdict for 81 and costs
thus ending case that has been car
ried back and forth from court to cour,
for the past four years until it has &C
quired much notoriety.
The securing of a verdict by Glib.
has the effect of saddGng upon the
manufacturers association the costs
of the suit, which amount to approx
mately 90, 900, and the attorneys fees
which are fixed by the court. Gibbs
refused to 90 into the shinglemens
association and later brought suit, as
sorting that the association had boy
cotted him, preventing him from sell
ing his shingles in the East, thus ruin
ing his business. One of his principal
contentious was that the association
was violation of the Sherman anti
trust law.
Judge Hanford decided that it was
not and threw the suit out of court
The cause then came before Judge
Bellinger at Portland on other counts
and Gibbs was again nonsuited. Al
appeal was taken to the circuit court
of appeals and both judges were re-
versed. The case came back to the
federal court here for trial year age
andt the jury disagreed. Gibbs began
another suit week ago.
The case has been one of the mos,
celebrated that has come up in Pierce
county for years and has been fought
with persistence seldom witnessed
Mr. Gibbs announces that he is pleas
ed with the decision, as the nominal
damages granted vindicated his cause
and insured him from interference by
any combination or association OF
shinglemen.

SAYS HE HAS FIVE WIVES.
President Smith Testifies He Is a
POlygamist

president Smith Testifies He Is a
Polygamist.
4 Washington, March 5.-Attorneys
for the professionals in the Smoot inves-
tigation yesterday said they intended
to prove that the defendant is associat.
cd with an organization which prac-
tees polygamy and connives at viola
lions OF the law, and that his very vote
as senator of the United States is
subject to the wish and command of
the Mormon church.
President Joseph F. Smith confessed
that he himself had continued to CO.
habit with his plural family since the
manifesto of 1890, and that he realized
fully that he was violating the laws.
President Smith also testified that
Reid Smoot had to get the consent of
his associate apostles in the church be.
fore he could become a candidate for
sentaor.
The confession of President Smith
was the sensation of the proceedings
before the senate committee on privi-
leges and elections. Mr.. Smith said
that the manifesto of 1890 had left
him and others with plural families
in the unfortunate position of being
compelled to defy the law or desert
their families. For himself he had
preferred to take chances with the
law" rather than to disgrace himself
and degrade his family by abandoning
his wives and the children they had
borne him. He admitted that he had
had children by all of his five wives
since the manifesto, and said he had
acknowledged them openly without
interference or disturbance from the
people of Utah, whom he spoke of as
liberal and broad minded.

WASHINGTON DIARIES.
Good Increase Shown by Agricul-
tural Reports.

Washington, March 9.-Some facts
and figures published by the chief of
the dairy division of the department of
agriculture make it appear that Wash
ington is destined to become great
dairy tsate. There has been remark
able growth of the dairy business in
the Pacific Northwest within the last
two or three years. The country is
still importing millions of pounds OF
butter every year, a lot Of it coming
from Canada, but there has been a
large increase in the domestic output.
Washington had 247 creameries in
1901, but in 1902 the number had in
creased to 345. The figures for 1908
are not yet available. The output of
creamery butter-not to mention the
output from other sOurces-was $685.
2l5 pounds in 1909, as against 1885,
1928 in 1901. In the same period of one
year the number of cheese factories in
the state increased from 81 to Al, with
corresponding increase in the output,
from l,lO5, 933 to 1923, 1885. There
was, Of course, a very large consump-
ton Of milk in its natural form, and a
good deal of milk was condensed and
canned. In 1900, the census year,
Washington ranked thirty third among
all the states in population, but 1t
ranked twenty ninth in the production
Of butter and fourteenth in the produc-
ton of cheese

| AND FRAUD CASES
INTERIOR DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS
EXPECT MORE INDICTMENTS.
vocational Developments in Re-
,,rd TO Western Land Grants
said to Have Only just Begun
Department Clerks Probably
Among the New Victims.

Washington, March 5.-More indict-
,,,srts in the land fraud cases are look
N for this month, at least in Oregon,
and probably in one or two other West
orn states. In fact, if the words of in
tor;or department officials are to be be-
Geved. the sensational developments
have only just begun. Names not
heretofore mentioned are likely to be
hrought out in connection with the
fraudulent entries of public lands and
with conspiracies to cheat the govern
ment.
So far as local sensations are con-
cerned, the most striking is likely to
no in the District of Columbia. 1t
WAS stated at the outset that the land
sharks were in league with officers or
EMPLOYEES of the general land Office in
Washington, and that the evidence
AGAINST some of the clerks in the in.
terror department was Of the most dam
aging kind. Secretary Hitchcock is
confident of securing convictions in
several cases, both here and elsewhere.
In the meantime, Mr.. Hitchcock is
continuing his close scrutiny of the
persons proposed for appointment in
the various land offices when vacan-
cies occur He has incurred the hos
tlitv of several Western senators and
representatives in congress, some of
whom are none too particular about
the character of the men whom they
recommend for Office. As has been
said many times, Mr.. Hitchcock is on
especially bad terms with the senators
from Washington and Oregon, and
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, is ac-
counted one of his opponents.
Several days ago Secretary Hitchcock
emerged from his most recent contest
with the Oregon senators part victor.
They had insisted that the present Off
GERS in the land office at Roseburg be
reapppointed, but Mr.. Hitchcock said
no. 1t was at last agreed that the men
should be reappointed only on condition
that they sever all connection with a
certain corporation which transacts
official business with the land office.

TO VALIDATE LAND SALES
Bill Introduced for Relief of Pur-
chasers of Right Of Way.

cHdstfs Oh night Oh way.
Washington, March "A bill drawn
by ex-senator Turner, of Washington,
authorizing the Northern Pacific COM
pany to sell such portions of its right
of way as are not used by the railroad
and validating sales that have hereto
fore been made, has been introduced
in both hossue and senate
A recent decision by the supreme
court held that the Northern Pacific
had no right to sell any part of its
right Of way and under this decision
title to more than *S, OOO, 900 worth of
property along the line has been thrown
under a cloud, especially in Tacoma,
Spokane, North Yakima, Portland and
st. Paul, as well as in other cities on
the line of the road. The president,
general counsel and board of directors
of the Northern Pacific have all ex-
pressed willingness to have congress
enact law which will validate the
past sale of lands embraced in the right
of way. This assurance being given,
no other objection to the bill is con-
templated. The bill is expected to pass
at the present session.

A cowARDLY OUTRAGE.

Seivert Dahl, a well-known res
ident of Goodrich, was at Wash
burn Wednesday looking up some
law points regarding the shooting
of five head Of his horses by per-
sons unknown.
Mr.. Dahl stated that last Sun
day night the horses were in the
pasture a short distance from the
house, and on going to the pasture
the next morning he found three
Of his horses dead from bullet
wounds and two others so badly
wounded that it is feared that they
will die. The FIVE horses shot were
all good work horses. Mr.. Dahl
says that the horses were not al
lowed to bother any body, and he
hated to believe that he had an
enemy who would take such cow
ardly way of getting even'' by des-
troying his stock. He has his sus-
picions who did the dastardly
deed and will be made to pay the
penalty of the crime.
A man who would do a deed like
the above is not safe to the CON-
munity to be allowed to run at
large and efforts should be made to
apprehend the guilty parties A
Aime of this kind should call forth
the severest condemnation of every
citizen in the county and the per-
pretator made to pay the penalty
to the fullest extent of the law.
