War Funds are Assured.

Toxic, March 24.-The Diet has
adopted resolutions thanking the navy
in the name of the nation for the sew
eral successes that have resulted since
the beginning of the war. 1t is an
nounced by the leaders of both political
parties that they are in complete ac-
cord with the program for raising the
revenue needed for the conduct of the
war. The compromise whereby the
tax on land has been reduced and that
proposed on salt and silk stuffs is elm
mated from the bill has disarmed the
opposition, and the revenue bill will
likely be passed without dissenting
vote. The total amount affected by
the changes is about IS ,000, 900. It ia
said that the bill as finally passed will
provide that the increased tax shall be
levied for one year, and not five, as
was at first supposed.

BAKER GETTING OUT OF DEBT.
Economy in Expenditures Brings War
rants Nearly to Par.


Baker City-Baker county is fast get
ting out of debt. Four years ago the
bonded and floating dett of the county
was over $3.50, 900. County warrants
were way below par and. the county
burden was increasing fast.
By practicing economy and calling a
halt on reckless expenditure, the float
ing debt has been almost wiped out.
At the present rate the entire indebted
ness will be discharged next year.
County warrants are now worth 80
cents on the dollar, which makes them
practically as good as cash, because in
vestors do not care to handle them on
such a small margin.
Last week the Indebtedness of the
county was reduced about $4,000 by
the payment to Union county of the
amount due on account of the "Pan-
handle" annexation. A portion of
Union county, known as the "Panhan-
die" was annexed to Baker county by
the legislature four years ago. Baker
county had to pay Union county about
$4,000 in settlement of various claims.
All this debt has now been paid.

ing Troops In Corea.
Chinampo, Corea, March 25.-The
organization of the Japanese in Corea
is perfect. Elaborate preparations have
been made for landing troops and ad-
vancing them through the country,
and pontoon bridges and stables are
built wherever they are found to be
necessary. The greatest difficulty fac
ing the Japanese is the commissariat,
as, owing to the poor food supplies of
Corea, it is only possible at present to
maintain 80, 900 men.
The Japanese hold two enormously
strong positions at Ping Yang and on
the. Miakokak-San range between
Hwaing-Ju and Seoul. The latter is
practically impregnable and secure
from land attacks from the northwest.
In the event of defeat, it is intended to
hold the passes at Kazan, thus protect
ing Ping Yang valley. The Japanese
troops are suffering from dysentery and
pneumonia, and many of the cavalry
horses, which are poor, have died, but
the army is full of spirit.
There are probably 1000 japanese
at Ping Yang, which might easily have
been taken, when the Russian scouts
first arrived, there being then only $50
Japanese soldiers.

tion of Lane county took tangible and
permanent form. A constitution was
adopted and good membership Sc
cured at once.
It is the intention of this association
to take active steps toward the securing
of first-class highways in all parts of
the county, and to work in the direc-
tion of securing judicious and scientific
returns for the money annually ex-
pended for road improvement. The as

Japan VIII Not Run Risk of Russia Oc-

Vienna, March 25.-The number of
alarming editorial articles in the Aus
trian press regarding the probability of
China coming to the assistance of Jap
an and making common cause against
Russia has bad the effect of creating
genuine alarm throughout the nation
against the "yellow PERIL" and the
Japanese minister has been addressed
on the subject. The result has been
the receipt of an official statement
from the Japanese government setting
forth the "real position" of Japan.
After stating in unmistakable terms
the relations between China and Japan,
and the latter's intention of compell-
ing China to maintain an attitude of
strict neutrality, the statement con-
cludes by saying that "Chinese aid
and support would be in many respects
advantageous to Japan, vet the Japan
ese government cannot run the risk of
Russian occupancy OF other Chinese
provinces than Manchuria.

Heavy Snow Falling and Temperature
Drops to Zero.
John Day-A snowfall of more than
. foot occurred last week in the higher
valleys of this county. The storm is
quite general, but the fall is not so
great in the larger valleys. The tenn
perature fell to IA below zero at this
place. It is almost zero in the colder
sections. With very few exceptions
this is the coolest weather of the year.
In some of the higher val
aeys the stock situation is decidedly
serious. Bear valley stockmen are en-
tirely out of feed. Although cattle are
generally strong, grave fears are enter
tanned.
A disquieting runner has been grow
ing, started by messages over the tele-
phone. In some places, herds being
moved to better feeding grounds, have
been overtaken by the storm and are
now strung along the public roads,
staggering and falling dead. In one
instance the road supervisor found it
necessary to give orders to owners to
remove carcasses from the road.
Stockmen are grimly whetting their
skinning knives, preparing to save the
hides. Only a speedy raise in the
temperature can save enormous losses.
Sheep and horses have not suffered
much loss yet.

$3.50, 900 for government buildings,
which will include in addition to the
regular government exhibit, the Philip

The bill provides that the plans for

the appropriation for buildings, and
authority is granted for the coinage of

who has the bill in charge, will report

to conference. As all the conferees-
Senators Burnham, Hansbrough and
nopiol and Paproaoptotivor Tounav
Sherman and Bartlett-are strongly in
favor of the Lewis and Clark expo
sitien, there is good reason to believe
they will increase the appropriation to

JAPS DRIVEN OFF.
Admiral Togo's Entire Fleet BembHds

Admiral Togo's Entire Fleet Bembards
Port Arthur.
St. Petersburg, March 24.-Another
attack by the Japanese fleet on Port
Arthur, beginning with operations by
torpedo boats and ending with bonn
bardment by battleships and cruisers,
took place after midnight Monday.
The emperor received the first mes
sage regarding tho attack late this af-
ternoen, but nothing was allowed to
reach the public until 10 O'Clock.
All information which has reached
st. Petersburg shows that the defend
ers of Port Arthur had taken seriously
to heart the coup of the japanese tor
pedo boats at the beginning of the war,
and were now maintaining a sharp
lookout.
The Japanese torpedo boats were
twice discovered sneaking toward the
harbor entrance under cover of dark
ness. but both times they we're detected
far out at sea, and were driven of by
the hot fire opened on them. The
breaking OF day necessarily prevented
further torpedo boat operations, but
Admiral Togo brought his battleships
and cruisers up. The division of his
feet was for the purpose of making q
cross fire upon the harbor in the hope
of destroying the town and of damag-
ing the Russian ships lying in the
basin, or at least demoralizing the per-
sonnel of the defending force. When
the first official dispatches we're re-
ceived the belief gained ground that
Vice Admiral -Makaroff had put to sea
and that naval fight had taken place.
Later advices established the fact that
the admiral had simply gone with the
undamaged portion of his feet to the
outer roads, where he could more effec-
lively support the batteries, and at the
same time take advantage of any weak
ness which might develop in the enc
my's attack.

What Does tho Pork Costf
It is periods Of depression in values
that put the hog grower to the crucial
test. w. A. Henry, the Wisconsin ex-
pert on porcine matters, insists that
the corn belt hog grower has not yet
got down to the basis of making pork
at a minimum COST When corn is
worth 25 cents a bushel it can be
thrown to swine ad Hbitum, but with
grain worth 40 cents, the horse as
sumes a different hue. Growers unite
in declaring that they cannot make
pork profitably at four cents. G. ].
Maggenheimer, of Hamlet, Ind, a sue
cessful grower on a large scale, told
the writer only recently that $4.1O was
the cost Of his hogs at the shipping
point. Consequently, thousands Of
growers are taking the easy horn Of
the dilemma and shipping the stock
to market lacking maturity.
The problem at present before tho
growereis whether or not he can fur
nish his hog crop and market it at
heavy weights profitably. Feeding
either hogs or cattle for recreation is
not desirable. Many feeders did both
