LOW RATES TO PORTLAND FAIR
Round Trips From ST. Louis Cheaper
Than to Its Exposition.

The Northern Pacific has announced
rates from it's eastern terminals to
Portland for the Lewis & Clark expo
sition next year that are lower than
any transcontinental rates ever offer
ed by the railroads before, and are
SIS less than similar rates to the
worlds fair at st. Louis. The rates
are made to include the whole north
Pacific coast and are good to Port
land, Tacoma, Seattle, Victoria and
Vancouver.
The exposition will be from June
to October Is. Round trip rates from
ST. Louis, with 80 day returning linn
it, will be $3.50. A similar ticket
from Portland to the st. Louis fair
was $40 Tickets from st. Paul will
be $45 and from Chicago $3.50.

TRAVERSE OCEAN UNDER WATER
New Submarine Boat Planned by Mr..
Simon Lake.

A keel has been laid at the ship
yards in Newport News for new
and larger lake submarine boat, in
which the inventor, Simon Lake, ex-
poets to make a trip across the At
lantic under her own power, in an eff
fort to demonstrate her seaworthi-
ness. The new vessel will be 83 feet
long and proportionately larger in
every way. She will carry four tor
pedo tubes, 10 torpedoes, and without
assistance will have a cruising radius
of 1000 miles.
This will be the first submarine
boat of any class to attempt to cross
the ocean," said Lake. There is no
reason however, why she should not
cross in safety. Ordinary torpedo
boats have made the voyage without
inconvenience, and the craft we are
now having built will be more sea
worthy than any torpedo boat ever
built"

PASSENGERS GO DOWN TO DEATH
Broken Rail Throws Train Down an
Embankment.


Holden, Mo-, Dec. 4.-Missouri Pa
cific passenger train No. l, westbound,
from st. Louis to Kansas City, due
here at O'Clock Saturday, was wreck
ed at the water works bridge. two
miles east of here, resulting in the
injury of as passengers, 10 of whom
are seriously injured. The accident
was caused by broken rail which pro-
jected from the track, catching the
first coach behind the mail car, throw
ing it from the track down a 20 foot
embankment and causing two other
coaches, a Pullman and the diner to
follow it.
The broken rail was on the bridge,
and the rear Pullman rolled off the
bridge into the creek below, and the
passengers inside we're all seriously
injured.
Supposition has it that orders were
given the train crew at Center View
to slow up at the water works bridge
on account of a broken rail there. II
seems that the train was behind the
schedule time and this order was not
needed.

PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
The Japanese Make Very Important
Capture.

Military Developments in the far
east last week we're confined princi-
pally to the neigLborhood of Port Ar
large significance.
There was the usual diminishing
along the line on the Shake river,
the Japanese generally taking the ag-
gressive. The most important move
ments were against the Russian left
and continued throughout Sunday and
Monday A rather stubborn fight oc-
Cured at Tsinkhechen Sunday even
ing with the combatants struggling in
binding snowstorm, but no perma-
nent advantage seems to have been
gained by either side.
On Monday one of the fiercest en-
gagements of recent weeks took place,
the Japanese making furious assault
on General Rennenkampff's front.
There was a large mortality on both
sides. but no significant change of po-
sitions resulted from the encounter. A
Japanese cavalryman captured by the
Russians and brought into Mukden de-
clared that there was no truth in the
report of the killing of General Ku-
roki.
