FALL OF KINCHOU
JAPANESE COMPEL RUSSIANS TO re.
TREAT TOWARD PORT ARIHUR.
Military Experts Deemed the posItlon
Impregnable Advance on PORT Arth-
ur Is Expected TO Follow at Once
Russians Finally Bsssd In a Hand
to-tiand Conflict.

Toxic, May 30.--After two days Of
desperate fighting, the Investment Of
kinchou has become fact. The pre-
paratory engagements Of Sunday, Mon
day and Tuesday led to the final effort
ON Wednesday to take the heights of
Kinchou, including the fortress known
as the castle. An artillery engage
ment, beginning at dawn on Wednes-
day morning, lasted five hours, after
which period General 0ku, command.
ing all the army divisions, sent Lieu
tenant General Baron Kawamura, Of
the Tenth, Twenty ninth, ThIrty-ninth
and FoItieth regiments, to storm the
heights. This was the beginning Of
the great battle, which ended at 7
O'Clock on Thursday night, when the
japanese infantry, in a hand-to-hand
conflict, drove the Russian defenders
from the Nan Shan hill, said by mill
tary authorities to be practically inn
pregnable. From this hill, Dalny is
absolutely al the mercy OF the Japan
ese from the west, as are the hills lead
ing directly to the Port Arthur fortifi-
cations.
While General oku, through Ad-
miral Togo, telegraphs that the Japan
ese loss was heavy in the two days
fighting, Toxic is wild with Joy, and
the streets are filed with men, women
and children, marching in line be-
hind bands, and all carrying lanterns.
The great triumph north Of Port Ar
thur las confirmed the always strong
belief with the Japanese that their
soldiers are more than a match for the
Muscovite enemy. As all the dis
patches show that the Russians fought
with desperate valor, there is no doubt
also that their losses were heavy.

Ptnebot Recommends Two More Reserves
In Eastern Oregon.

Washington, May 2s.-Chiei Fores-
ter Pinchot has recommended the crea-
tion Of the Blue mountain and Maury
mountain reserves In Eastern Oregon.
In the former II Is recommended that
about 5000, 900 acres be embodied; In
the latter something over 90, 900 acres
In the center Of Crook county. Al.
though Forester Pinchos most urgently
recommends the creation Of the Blue
mountain reserve, II 10 not probable
that the president will issue a proc.
lamation creating this reserve for son
time TO come. Pinchot's recommends
tion has been referred to land Com
missioner Richards, In whose Office
there are numerous protests against the
creation Of the reserve. His records
also contain information tending TO
show attempts have been made by yari.
GUS persons 10 secure lands within the
proposed reserve, with a view 10 having
them converted into base for lieu se-
lections. The forestry bureau has,
however, carefully examined each
minor subdivision, and as far as practi.
cal has drawn the reserve limits so as
to exclude private holdings.
Commissioner Richards will make
personal investigation to see II IL is
practicable TO eliminate additional pri-
vate holdings. lie is determined that
this reserve, when created, shall gen.
crate as little lieu base rs possible,
and will only consent TO the inclusion
within the reserve Of private lands
shown 10 be held by bona flde settlers
who intend to remain there. This ex-
haustive examination will consume sey.
eral weeks, possibly months.
On the other hand, early action Is
looked for on the Maury mountain rec
OF Pinchot. This pro-
posed reserve is a clear cut proposition,
with practically all private lands elm
mated.

Income From Incorporation Amonpts to

salem--0ne year ago the Eddy cor
poration law went into effect. This
state has received under the provisions
Of that law sl06, ,s66 .Os. During this
first year Of the operation Of the new
law, 465 new domestic corporations
have been formed and 200 foreign cor
porations have qualified lOr the trsns-
action Of business III this -aate.
The total number OF domestic coFpor-
ations 10 now 2,022, which number,
with the 200 foreign corporations
makes a total Of 2,022 companies auth
orized TO do business in Oregon.
During the next IL months the re-
ceipts from declaration fees OF foreign
corporations will be very small, but
this will be more than made up from
annual license fees from foreign cor
porations. In the past year many of
the foreign corporations paid only for
a fraction Of year, but hereafter they
will pay Tor full years.
The income OF the state from the
Eddy corporation tax law will there
fore exceed $1,000 a year and within
a year or two will probably reach
1920, 900 or 10000 a month. The
expense Of maintaining the corporation
is about $4,000 year.

NEUTRALs FEAR TO COMPLAIN.
IL May Be 20 Their Advantage to Plant
Mines In the Future.

London, May 2s.--Sir John McDon-
nell, one Of the highest authorities in
Great Britain on questions Of interna-
tional law, in an interview regarding
the sowing Of mines in the open sea by
Russians, today said:
II think with our imperfect knowl-
edge OF the facts, IL is quite premature
to express an opinion as to what has
been done by the Russians in the wat
ers adjacent to Port Arthur. am re-
luctant TO believe that they have re.
sorted to an expedient so wasteful, and
altogether uncertain in its effects, Of
sowing or scattering mines in the wat
ers of the territorial zone.
Every belligerant is free, take it,
10 destroy his opponents vessels wher-
ever they may be found, by all Gus
tomary means, including the use Of
mines, II in attempts to destroy the
enemy's work he accidentally destroys
neutral property, he would, of course,
be liable for damages. OF course, II
mines are scattered broadcast on the
high seas, neutrals might complain
with justice, and think it would not
avail belligerants to argue that they
had given notice Of their intention to
make certain waters impossible.
''Neutrals, however, are no longer
united to arrest encroachments of bel
ligerants. Now that many powers
have large navies, and are looking for
ward to the time when they will be
supreme on the seas. they hesitate to
condemn acts to which in the past they
would have severely objected, because,
as they say, who knows how soon it
may be to our interest as belligerants to
do the very acts which as neutrals we
today suffer from "

FEW BOOKED FOR NOME.
LabOring Men Have HAD Unpleasant Ex-
periences la the North.

Seattle May 3O.-A year ago 1000
steerage tickets had been sold by this
time on the Nome liners. Up to the
present time 500 have been booked on
the first boats out Of this port for the
North.
From these figures operators are
drawing the conclusion that there will
be shortage Of common laborers IN
Nome during the coming season. In
view of the TACT that the Council City
& Solomon railroad will use about l.
200 men during the season there is APP
parently some basis for the contention
that more men should be taken North.
Laboring men are not apt to flock to-
ward Nome this year, for those who
went North last year had a hard seas
on. Most of them loafed about Nome
without work, and the season was so
short that those who found plenty Of
did not make much.
While there is promise of long season
and more work than usual, laboring
men regard the situation as one that
only benefits the steamship companies.

KURoKrs FORCES NEED FOOD.
cOssacks are Also interfering With
Movements Of Ammunition.

London, May 26.-The Mukden cor
respondent of the London Morning Post
cables that be has been informed on
excellent authority that the Cossacks
under General Remenkampf have sue
ceeded in cutting two transport columns
OF the japanese army and secured a
very large quantity Of supplies. Ac-
cording to the correspondent, the Cos
sacks have also succeeded in greatly
harassing the Japanese line of commu-
nication, with the result that General
Kuroki's column is in need of food and
ammunition. This fact has compelled
the Japanese to remain at Feng Wang
Cheng much longer than has been
planned, and forward movement will
not be undertaken until troops arrive
in sufficient strength to prevent further
interference with transport service.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Post states that General Kuropatkin,
after a minute inspection of Lao Yang
and its defenses, told Admiral Alexieff,
who was with him, that the position
was vulnerable and should be aban-
doned This advice was resented by
the admiral, who declared the position
was absolutely impregnable.

Owing to high waters Of Grand
