Unable to withstand the tremendous
assaults of the Japanese, Kuropatkin
has been forced back to position
north of Shahke river after a battle
of the most desperate and sanguina-
ry character. Absolutely no official
news of today's fighting has been
given out at st. Petersburg, but a cor
respondent there of the Associated
Press after repeating unofficial but
circumstantiai reports said to orig;-
nate in high places, cables that the
public is convinced that kuropatkin's
advance is a complete disaster with
such friehtfu losses as to staeger
Russia. Oyama reporting to Toxic
says that the fighting continues but
the Russians are retiring, and cor
respondent adds, "kuropatkin is evil
IDENTIFY defeated" The japanese com.
mander estimates the Russian losses
at thirty thousand.

Mukden, (Friday) Oct. 14.-News
has been received here to the effect
that one of the Russian eastern col.
umns has overcome the desperate re,
sistance of the Japanese and captur-
ed Lumin pass, which opens a direcc
route tc the right flank of the ian
anese main position at Yetai mines.
If this report be true Kuropatkin's
plans have succeeded and the Rus
slams have taken the Japanese in the
flank and rear. One more effort 1t
is asserted and the Japanese must
retreat with heavy loss from Shahlle
river or run the risk of being cut. Fl

SALEM
Big Meeting of the
Commercial Club
Committees Hard at Work
TO Enlist Capital for a
Good Proposition

The Greater Salem Commercial
Club held a special meeting at the
police court room last evening. A
number OF the prominent citizens
were present, and discussed various
plans for the upbuilding of Salem.
The special committee appointed
to look into the Dallas-Salem railroad
reported that three members had been
over the route of the proposed road,
and also made a trip from Dallas to
Falls City, a distance of 10 miles,
where the railroad is now in opera
ton, and they were well pleased with
the outlook
Hon. Tilmon Ford, chairman of the
committee, said that he had gone over
the matter very carefully with Mr..
Coovert, the engineer who proposes
to build the road, and was satisfied
that it was a good proposition. He
said that Salem was asked to loan Mr..
.Coovert $4,000, to secure terminal
grounds in West Salem, and the right
of way for a short distance. The
terminal grounds will be 500 by 800
feet, and are located on the lands
owned by Mrs ]. j. Murphy and her
children. Mrs. Murphy has been
asked to set a price on the land, but
the committee had not received her
figures at this time, but would prob
ably in a few days.
Mr.. Ford said that he intended to
head the list with a good-sized sub
scription for the bonds If the arrange
ments could be adjusted satisfactory
with Mr.. Coovert He believed that
the builders meant business, and did
not think they would put their money
into the road If it was not a paying
d. j. Fry gave a good description
of Falls City and the advantages that
had accrued from the completion of
the road to that place by these same
people. He said that two large sam
mills are in operation day and night,
and the town is building into quite
commercial place.
He said the committee found q
good broad gauge track and well
equipped for all kinds of traffic. The
mills are sending out over the road
large amount of lumber, last month
AZ cars coming out, and they expect
ed to make the total over so cars this
month A large amount of the timber
back of Falls City is suitable for use
in the paper mills at Oregon City, and
when the road is built to this city the
logs can be hauled to the Willamette
and foated down the stream at a very
small cost. The net earnings of the
road from Dallas to Falls City is
over $4,000 per month, and the state
ment can easily be verified by the
gross tonnage handled from the mills.
Il. T. Barnes thought the plan very
feasible, and that the road would be
a paying investment. He corrob-
GRATED Mr.. Fry in his statements.
C. S. Hamilton said that the city Of
Dallas had also prospered during the
past year. and was building up at a
very rapid rate. Another item of
profit that could be handled by the
road was slab wood and limbs from
the logging camps, and Salem needed
cheaper fuel He thought that II
would be solution of the fuel prob
lem, and would add to the revenue of
the railroad.
Mr. Coovert explained that he had
modified his former proposition. and

A False Report.

It was reported here the latter part
of last week that horse thieves had
made another raid, the fourth within
the past two or three years. on Mr..
Abrahamson, near Garfield, and had
stolen two more horses from him.
Quite a lurid account accompanied the
story to the effect that Mr.. Abraham
son had caught the thieves in the act
and had taken two shots at them with
IA shotgun loaded with buckshot,
wounding one of the robbers, who es-
capped in the darkness, however. The
robbers returned the fire, killing one
of Abrahamson's dogs, so the story
said. Later information obtained
from Mr.. Abrahamson by Sheriff Nc
Coy is to the effect that the horses
have since been located at the place
in Hedgeman county where they were
bought some time back. They had
evidently strayed away and gone back
to their old home, which leads To the
conclusion that, while Mr.. Abraham
son has surely been having a tough
time with thieves lately, it does not
do to always believe all of the stories
which get into circulation about such
happenings Tiller and Toll
err, July D.
