PATENT STEEL TEMPERlNG.
5lacksmiths of Republic Are Inventors
of the System.

Weston 4 Graham, a blacksmithing
firm of Republic. Wash, claim to have
developed process for tempering
steel likely to surpass anything of the
kind ever before brought to light.
The process consists OF the use of
certain chemicals in water or oil in
the tempering vessel, but what those
chemicals are is the firms secret. 1t
is claimed that by their use any kind
of tool from a blunt hammer head
to keen edged razor can be tempered
to a perfection never before realized.
In a correspondents presence Mr..
Graham, with an AK tempered by this
new process, cut several big gashes in
cold bar of steel without dulling the
edge Such a blow as was dealt at
the bar with any other kind of tenn
pering would have broken big gap
in the blade of the ak, If it did not
destroy it for all further use.
Mi. Graham says he thinks the pro-
cess is as perfect as it ever can be.
John Nieber took set of 81 drills
with him to the south half which had
been sharpened and tempered by the
process and used them 40 days in driv-
ing the tunnel on the Wasco mine,
through the hardest kind of rock, with
out the need of resharpening.

They have driven the Russians from
the parade ground, which lies about
two miles north of the harbor. They
have destroyed two forts at Chaochan-
ko, which is within the eastern fortif-
cation, and they have advanced to .
point near Chaochanko. This news
confirms information previously re-
ceived The junk heard firing about
midnight of Augut 20. Scarcesly .

ed. Four large warships. unable to
fight, are at Port Arthur. Only one
ship, vessel with two masts and two
tunnels, has guns on board.
The fire of the forts not captured by
the Japanese, together with the effect
of the land mines, is given as the rea-
son why the Japanese have not yet con-
quered the Russian stronghold.
Admiral Katato reports that as tho
Russian battleship Sevastopol was
emerging from Port Arthur she skuck
a mine, after which she was seen to DO
listing to starboard. She was towed
back into harbor.

AMERICA UNGRATEFUl.
Russia Tells of Her Past Devotion to
United States.


The Indiana members of congress
have received copies of pamphlet
published in St. Petersburg, Russia
entitled, Services Rendered by Rus
STA to the American People During the
War of the Rebellion The pamphlet
contains a recital of the attitude of
Russia toward the Union in the civil
war as contrasted with the attitude of
Great Britain.
It is charged that persons with let
ters of marque, issued by Jefferson
Davis, used English ports as base
of operations, which ruined the mara
time commerce of the northern states,
These souvenirs says the pamph-
let, have not had time to fade away,
but we are already subjected to the
painful spectacle of what human in
consistency can do. While generous
blood is flowing far away in the de-
Tense of Port Arthur, this same people
that we remember having loved so re-
Gently is fraternizing with the Japan
ese and drifting into one of those
stampedes, which, in this age of emo
ton, one is almost tempted to call
political mob hysteria.'

that ut the passing OF the great men
of each generation there is pessimis-
tic feeling prevalent that "there We're
giants in those days" But the feeling
has never had any warrant in the
actual deficiencies of the oncOming

gone, and sometimes their immediate
successors have not been discernible.
But In time the men have emerged who
have taken their places and who have
