Mysterious Shooting.

were heard about nine o'clock We'd
nesday night near the corner of Mesa
avenue and Cedar street. The neigh

able to give any explanation of Just
where the shooting occurred or who
did it. but as there has been great
deal of petty thieving going on in
that locality lately the general opini-

caught a coal thief or perhaps q
chicken fancier in his yard and took a

CORN IN PLACE OF WHEAT.

United States Consul Winslow

and that the product of these mills
is used for bread making. one large
bakery turns out 100000 loaves of
bread weekly made of mixture of
20 per cent corn flour and 75 per
cent rye or wheat. over 500 bakeries
in Berlin are selling bread made of
this same mixture.

States amounted to only $4,000, 900

MINES IN KOREA.

Korea possesses gold mines whose
output has increased from $1,15S. 900
in 1898 to s2,509,0OO in 1902. 1t
has also mines of iron. silver, copper,
coal etc The greater part of the
gold exported to Japan. Iron, al
though in large quantities, can hardly
be said to be exploited. As a matter
of fact iron used in Japanese foun-
dries comes from China. Coal of me-
dunn quality is equally abundant,
but 1t is hardly exploited. Copper is
extracted in several districts. Dur
ing the last two years 564,43 pounds
valued at $51.044, were mined.
1t is stated, in the Morning Jour-
nal, that the southern portion of
Korea belongs to the crown, and that
II is necessary to have "a special.
authorization to develop it. A re-
quest for such a concession should
be presented through the diplomatic
representative of the country of
which the petition is resident. As
rule these requests are denied, ow-

There is a sentiment i'm the Inland
Empire against raising $4,000 i'm
public subscriptions to complete the
portage road-the sentiment is not
against the completion of the road,
but against the contribution of funds
under such uncertain authority as is
now in charge of that estimable
work. The people feel that as the
Open River commission is only vol
untary organization, without bonded
officers. or even legal form of cor
poration, that $4,000 is a large sum
to give into its custody, no matter
how high the individual standing of
those composing the association. 1t
is not business to do this, and that
feeling is hindering the work of rails
ing that much-needed fund. Lewis
ton, with characteristic energy, has
solved the problem The Lewiston
Commercial Club will raise Lewis
toms share of this fund, and it will
be deposited in Lewiston banks until
the portage road is completed and
the cars are running, when the fund
will then be turned over to the state
portage commission to help pay the
cost price of the road. This is sug-
gestion that is worthy of thought IN
Pendleton. This is work that
should stimulate the best activity in
the Inland Empire and the handling
of the fund can be left to each local
ity. so there will be absolute safety
and the most rigid business regulari-
ty in its collection and disposal.

If RUSSIA LOSE.

The harried car who reads day
by day the tale of wrecked armies
and perishing hopes in the Far East
now finds his attention sharply di-
vided by the gloomy reports of his
home police.
From Finland comes the story of
a sudden boidness of action on the
part of the secret patriotic societies;
Poland reports the open defiance of
the separatists; even the downtrodden
Jews are credited with a general
movement of unrest. The thought
must inevitably Ebreak in upon the
car. as it has already struck the
minds of Old World dipIomatists. if

How would these people receive
the abasement of Russian arms, that
visible sign of their subsection ?
Maybe this question even now finds
place in the councils of Nicholas.
The failure of his armies to demol-
ish the Japanese and rush in triumph
to the very capitol of Japan, has
wrung the heart of the car and al
his councillors.
