OREGON NEWS OF INTEREST
AsYLun NEEDS AN ADDITION.
Steady Increase of Insane Is Crowd
Ing Buildings Capacity.

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 $26 900 and
the legislature will be aksed to appro
pirate money for that purpose. The
growing population will also necessi
tate the construction of new dininI
room at cost of $4,000, the new ad
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 lavatoIies and 81 wer 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. Superin-
tendent Calbreath will recommend in
his biennial 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 $55, 900.
At the ref, rm school, mute school
and blind school only minor repairs
and improvements will be necessary
and not very heavy appropriations will
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 betterment fund, which may
be expended for repairs and improve
ments 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.

UNIONS FEAR WAR.
Large Plants are Adopting "OpeR
Shop" POLICY.

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-The opening OF
the plants Of the international Har-
yester company and the Pullman COM
pany on the "open shop" basis, free
from labor union regulations, has
alarmed Chiago labor leaders.
The fact that 1000 union men will.
ingly returned to work for the big har-
vester company, under the new condi-
tions, is admitted to presage disruption
of theil unions.
Fear is expressed that the recent de-
ieats OF labor unions, and the Ieduc-
tions obtained in wages, may be fol-
loEed by many other large concerns.
That gave crisis is felt in labor
union affairs seems to be certain from
the fai ilure Of the sto. kyards, the ma
chinists and the garment workers
strikes. All these walkouts have re-
suited disastrously for the union men
and women. In addition to this, the
following companies have reduced
their wage scale and established the
open shop:
Inland Steel company, Illinois Steel
company, Republ lie Iron & Steel com.
pany, and concerns in the Chicago
Metal Trades association. After being
closed down sinee September is, the
car shops OF the Pullamn company re-
opened with force Of 1000 men, out
Of total of 1000, who agreed to &C.
cept a cut Of 10 to 20 per cent in theii
pay.
The union leaders are inclined to lay
the blame on "lack of proper organiza'
ton" and government officials for ios'
tering the policy Of tho "open shop
by their action in the case of employer
of the government printing bureau.

ALExlErr TO CONE HONE.
His Position will Be That of An
Advisor to the Emperor.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 29.-Although
an official announcement to the effect
is not expected Immediately, since it
will require some little time to get Rus-
sia's second army in the field, the des.
ignation of Grand Duke Nicholas
Nicholaevitch, the inspector general of
cavalry, as commander in chief is re-
garded as practically settled. The sit
uation at the front, with two, and per-
haps ultimately three, big armies, is
considered to demand, above all else,
that the supreme commander be of
such personal authority as to lie be-
yond jealousies and the possibility of
intrigue on the part Of subordinates,
and such man the emperor now rea-
lizcs can only be supplied by member
Of the imperial family. Grand Duke
Nicholas is regarded as extremely we'll
fitted for this great responsibility.
Grand Duke Nicholas will not rely
upon single adviser, but on staff
comprising the ablest strategists Of the
general staff, who in reality will con.
stitute board OF direction Of military
operations.
viceroy Alexieff is regarded as al
most cel tain to return here. The re-
port that he may become chancellor of
the empire, however, is exploded. He
is more likely to retain his title and
come to st. Petersburg, nominally in
the capacity Of adviser to the emperor,
and will thus efface himself as factor
of the military situation in the Far
East.

VHSUVIUS VERY VIOLENT.
Curious Tourists Kept Back From
Danger with Difficulty.

Naples, Sept. 28.--Ths eruption Of
Vesuvius continues to increase In force,
and IL now more violent than any time
since 1872. Red hot stones are hurled
to height Of 800 feet, falling down
the tanks Of the mountain with a deaf
ening sound.
The director OF the observatory says
that between o'clock this morning
and 6 o'clock this afternoon his inStiu-
ment registered 1874 violent explo-
sions, and that one stone thrown out
weighed about two tons. Lava flowing
from the crater has melted the metal
Of the Funicular railway, and destroyed
the wooden huts In which the guides
live. All vegetation within a radius OF
one mile Of the crate has disappeared.
Several earthquakes we're felt today.
Some Of the people in the surrounding
villages have left their homes and are
camped in the open air, The curiosity
Of tourists to approach the volcano II
such that large number Of carbineer
guards have been detailed to prevent
them from pressing beyond the pre-.
scribed limits.

BLOCKADE TIGHTENING.
Absence of News From Port Arthur
Alarms the SlavS.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 29.-The entire
absence OF news from Port Arthur, it
is feared, indicates a closer blockade
there. Hitherto, dispatches from
General Stoessel have been coming
through semi-weeKly. The admiralty
has not received any details Of the re-
ported sea fight off Aniva, at the south
eastern extremity of Sahalin. The
Vladivostok squadl on, it is understood,
is still in the harbor. The cannonad-
ing at Aniva was probably a 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 being modified there. There are
only two army corps in the Caucasus,
and one of them has apparently been
ordered to 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 situ-
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 is observed at Sianchan, on
the Hun river, 80 miles southwest Of
Mukden, and Japanese cavalry is mass
ing in the vicinity of the Pu river.
The latter is 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.
Oyama's armies now apparently COW
er a front OF 60 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, it is evident that the
fate of Mukden cannot long be delayed.
If General Kuropatkin intends to try
to hold the city fighting on his tanks
will begin almost Immediately.

DEATH LIST GROWING.
Slxty-TwO Victims of Wreck on the
Southern Railroad So Far,


Knoxville, Ten, Sept, 2s.-The
death list, as q result Of the fearful
wreck on the Southern railway, near
New Market, has grown tonight to so,
and it will probably exceed 20, as many
Of the injured are In q serioos condit.
ion and more deaths will occur at the
hospital. Today there were six deaths
at that institution.
A force of l50 men toiled all day
long at the scene Of the wreck. Be.
fore 2 o'clock the track was clear fol
through trains, but 1t required many
hours to clear the debris.
Small fragment Of bodies were found
today, but it 10 thought that they be-
long to bodies already found and
brought to this city. One little baby
was found by the wreckers, but that
was all.
The cause of the terrible loss OF life
on the heavy east-bound train was ex-
planned today. 1t seems that the Sec
ond coach plowed it's way into a bank
in such q manner that the other cars
were iammed into 1t and pushed on by
the weight of the heavy Pullmans were
crushed like egg shells.
The physicians at the hospital state
tonight that OF the long list of injured
which they have in their care, 1t is
probable that not more than four will
die. The complete list Of injured as
given by the railroad officials shows
total of 1862, but this included all per-
sons who were slightly hurt or scratch

CATTLE WILL STARVe.
Farmers Did Not Rotate Crops, and
are Short of Feed,

Salem-"The unfortunate situation
in which Willamette valley farmers
find themselves this year because of a
shortage of feed for their stock is a
cause fol regret, specially since it is
entirely unnecessary. When ]. K.
Sears said in all interview few days
ago that cattle will starve in the valley
this winter for want Of feed he told the
plain truth 1t is a truth we dislike
to acknowledge, but it 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.
81 don't mean that any large pIopor-
tion of valley livestock will starve, or
that they will die because of the on.
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 is as unnecessary as it is un.
fortunate. This has been 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."

Ashland Foundry Burned.

Ashland-The Ashland Iron works,
foundry and machine shops have burn
ed involving a loss which may reach
$40 900. BY hard work the detached
pattern shop building was saved, but
the molding, machine shop and office
buildings, in which we're much valua-
BILE machinery, were badly Quilted.
The fire started between thu foundry
and the machine shop rooms, from a
cause unknown. The company carried
insurance amounting to $4,000. The
plant was kept busy with orders, and
employed a good sized force.
