ELECTRIC ROAD IN unArILLA.
will Be Built IL Portage Road Is
Constructed.

Pendleton-In the event OF the con.
struction Of the portage railway between
Cello and The Dalles, which now seems
assured, an electric railroad may be
built between Pendleton and some
point on the Columbia river. This
rumor is current on the streets, and II
is believed that something tangible lies
behind ID. 1t is understood that the
promoters of this scheme are prominent
residents Of Umat;lla county and that
they will carry the project to a success
ful termination, provided the portage
road is built, seems certain.
The promoters will not talk for pub
lication, refusing to give any informa-
tion at all concerning the project. at
ls too soon to announce our intentions, "
said one of the interested persons, for
the portage road has not been built as
yet"
1t is understood that two objective
points ale now under consideration, the
one being Umatilla and the other Wal
lula. The latter point will probably
be chosen, as road between that june
tion and this city would open up un-
limited traffic out of Pendelton. Wheat
raisers are anxious that the road be
built, as the saving in grain freight
rates will be enormous.

WILL TRY TO SPREAD STRIKE.
Union Will Attempt to Call Out EV-
ery Affiliated Trade.

Chicago, Sept. IA strong effort is
to be made by the leaders of the unions
now on strike at the stockyards to
spread the scope OF the strike so that II
will include every trade which is affil-
lated in even remote degree with the
packing industry. The first step in
this direction was taken tonight, when
the stockhandlers now employed at the
yards voted to go on strike at 10 o'clock
in the morning. There are about L.
900 of these men, and their duties are
to look after and feed the cattle in the
pens between the time of their arrival
and the the time of killing. Their
action tonight, therefore, will make it
incumbent upon the packers 10 provide
other men to take their places.
President Donnelly, OF the Butchers
unioD, declared tonight he would also
be able to call out all the switchmen
employed on the railroads which do
business at the stockyards, and possib-
ly to extend the strike to other depart
ments of the railroads. A mass meet
ing of the strikers is to be held tomor-
row afternoon at Watita hall, near the
stockyards, an addresses are to be made
by number of labor leaders.
After conference with members OF
the executive committee Of the strikers
national organization, President Dom
nelly refused to divulge what had taken
place. He admitted that means of Sc
curing money for the strikers had been
discussed, but he refused to say what
else had been talked Of at the confer
ence.

CABLE TO ALASKA.
The All-AmeriCan Line TO Far North
- Is WORKING


Seattle, Wash, Aug. Sl.--Alaska
was brought into communication with
the rest of tbs United States this after
noon, amid the cheers of hundreds Of
Americans, the footing Of steamboat
whistles and the crash of bands play.
ing the "Star spangled Banner"
The cable between Seattle and Val
des was spliced at point about ten
miles north Of Seattle at 4 40 o'clock
in the afternoon, though for several
hours before the final joining of the
two ends messages had been sent from
Seattle men, guests on board the cable
ship Burnside, to Sitka and responses
had been received.
The steamship Queen carried 800 OF
seattle's prominent sitizens out to meet
the cable ship and witness the splicing
Of the cable. The Burnside was met
about six miles north of the buoy WI ere
the Seattle end rested. Cable was be-
ing laid at the rate OF four miles per
hour, and the two ships proceeded to
the buoy, within easy hailing distance.
The splicing of the cable took two
hours and 20 minutes. Finally the
work was completed and the spliced
part was held aloft over the side OF the
Burnside while the bluejackets scam
pered aloft and manned the yards. A
band on the Queen, which lay about
800 feet away, swung into the "Star
spangled banner" i" and the cable struck
the water with mighty splash. 1t
sunk into about 800 feet OF water.
The cable line ia 500 miles long and
cost 81 900 per mile. Colonel Allen
is one of the oldest cable experts in the
United States. lie helped to lay the
cable to Vancouver island 20 years ago.
The Burnside will be overhauled
here and in about six weeks the work
Of laying the line to Valdes will be
taken up.

ARnIrS ARE ABOUT EQUAL.
Russia Has All Confidence KuroDat-
kin Will Be Victorious.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 1.-The great
battle Of Lao Yang, which began early
Tuesday morning, ragged throughout
the day with increasing intensity, but
up to this hour no further official de.
tails beyond two brief kilograms given
out in the afternoon, have been received
bby the war office. Every confidence
is expressed in General Kuropatkin't
ability to meet the Japanese assault on
ground Of his own choosing, but the
city is hungrily awaiting further news
Of the progress of the fight.
The Japanese forces engaged in this
battle can only be estimated here, but
they are believed to number about
200, 900 men.
General Kuropatkin is known to
have six army corps, besides l47 squad
rons Of cavalry, in which great conf
dence is reposed, bringing the Russian
total up to about the same number that
the Japanese Sc have. How the armies
compare with regard to artillery Is not
definitely known, though throughout
the war the Japanese have shown great
preference for this arm and great skill
in its use.
Reports from the front credit the
Japanese with having about 200 guns
and many mountain batteries, and 1t is
known that they recently shipped "a
heavy guns to Yinkow. Four OF these
guns already have been mentioned in
these dispatches as being in action.
General Kurokatkin, in addition to
his field batteries, has number Of very
heavy guns emplaced at important po-
sitions at Lao Yang, where the Rus
slams have been strongly fortifying for
some time. The japanese profess to
have captured two field batteries dur
ing te past two days. Russian official
accounts admit the loss of only six
guns.
1t is stated Japanese battery was
captured south of Anshanshan during
the preliminary fighting and that sew
eral japanese guns have been destroyed
since then.
Little of the strategic situation has
developed SO far. Official news from
the front says there was desperate fight
ing in the southern center, while from
from other sources it ap-
pears the Japanese are endeavoring to
turn the Russian right from the neigh
borhood of the junction of the Taitse
and Sakhe rivers. The fighting on the
western flank appears to have ap-
preached within three miles of Lao
Yang,

TRADE or THE PHILIPPINES.
Large Increase In Imports and De.
crease in Exports.

Washington, Aug. Sl,--According to
a statement given out today at the bu-
reau of insular affairs, the Philippine
import trade advanced nearly So, ,00O,-
600 in value during the nine months
ended March last, and a slight falling
of is shown in the exports as result
OF decreased shipments in copra and
sugar, although hemp and tobacco are
exported in larger amounts than for
the corresponding three-fourths Of the
previous year.
Excluding gold and silver and United
States government purchases, the GUS
tom-house returns, the total value OF
merchandise imported for the nine
months ended March, 1904, at $685.
927 ,024, and the exports at $22, ,256,-
1859, a 7 per cent increase in imports
and 2 per cent decrease IN exports.
The ricegiowing sections of the Brit
ish and French East Indies have en-.
joyed most of the increase in trade,
the latter territory sending three.
fouiths of the 5000 900 worth OF rice
received.
Except fer those countries from
which rice is obtained the statement
says that for the first time since Amer
lean occupation, the United States
leads in the amount of merchandise
sent to the islands and that the out
going trade with the principal countries
shows decline in the value of ship
ments to the United States, more than
500, 600 of the loss being credited to
sugar exports and 100000 to hemp.
More than one-half of the imports
consisted of food and animals. while
the exports we're chiefly agricultural
products, hemp exports amounting to
$l6, 900, 900 in round numbers. The
figures on the carrying trade show an
increase in volume OF business done
under the American flag, the amount
carried tc the islands being 81 ,535, 027,
while $2,237 ,805 OF the exports left the
islands under the American flag. The
British vessels took SIS, l72,Sl9.
The sugar trade declined from $2,.
i7a,0 ,00l to 81 ,S27,0 ,074, the entire out
put being sent to Japan, Hong Kong
and China, no portion being exported
to the United States. Americans made
up more than one-half of the total az
rivals, the greater portion being classed
as professional men.

FARMERS ARE PANIC PROOF.
UmatiIIa County Assured of a Pros
porous Year.

Pendleton-The financial depression
and the businss stagnation which usual
y precedes presidential election has
not and will not affect Umatilla county
or any other community in the North
west this tall. The immense crops and
the general prosperity have stimulated
trades in all lines go much that there
is no likelihood Of such a period. Al
though the deposits in the banks are
no larger than is usual for this time Of
the year, money is more plentiful.
Toward the middle of September, when
farmers begin to get their money or
their crops, the deposits will increase
and outstanding paper will be paid off +.
As it is, few have received the money
for the wheat sold, and only few are
drawing more than enough to pay off
their help. Later they will draw their
money and the general prosperity of the
year will be fe't more generally.

German Experts Believe japanese
Will EncIrcle LAO Yang.

Berlin, Aug. 3l.--German military
men are discussing the situation OF
General Kuropatkin with the keenest
interest. They have information that
the defenses Of Lao Yang are OF extra
ordinary strength. The fortifying of
the town was entrusted to General Mel.
ishtko, who enjoys here the reputation
OF being a master Of military engineer
ing, During the past two months he
has fortified all the strategic positions
around Lao Yang in manner we'll
nigh implegnable.
The German critics think Lao
Yang's defenses about equalize the diff
ference in numbers between the Rus
estimated at 1870, ,000--and the
japanese, numbering 240, ,000.'
The danger Of General Kuropatkin's
situation is recognized as being bottled
up like Field Marshal Bazaine, who
surrendered Meta to the German forces
in 1870. 1t is doubted by the experts
II General Kuropatkin will be able to
prevent the complete encircling Of Lao
Yang, which would mean probably the
eventual loss OF his army.

The committee does not expect to meet
again, President Donnelly, Of the

in Mayor Hairison's office. They re-
ported that the packers refused to
make any concessions.

The union leaders withdrew and not
long afterward the committee ad.
journed.
Two important meetings were held
by labor unions tonight to discuss the
packing house strike, but no action was
taken at either gathering.
The first meeting was held by the
packing house teamsters, who went out
on a sympathetic strike. The session
was turbulent, but the sentiment was
strongly against returning to work.
Cornelius Shea, leader Of the national
organization of teamsters, was present.
He asked the men to take a vote on the
question Of whether they would return
to work, but they refused to take such
a vote. Several speakers who advocated
the vote were shouted down.
After the adjournment of the team.

OREGON NEWS OF INTEREST
TESTING STATION AT EUGENE.
Bureau Of Forestry Has Natter I'm.
der Consideration.

Salem--The United States bureau Of
forestry has under consideration the es.
tablishment OF testing station at the
University Of Oregon at Eugene, and 1t
is learned from reliable source that
the officials who have the matter, in
charge are very favoraby impressed
with the need OF such station here.
The work of such station would be
TO make careful and accurate tests of
the strength, durability, elasticity,
etc., Of all kinds Of building and con.
struction material, such as lumber,
stone, brick, cement. Such a station
would require an initial Investment OF
IS, 900 for machinery with which to
make the tests. The custom Of the
government has been to require the
state to furnish the testing laboratory,
while the government employees the ex-
pert to taEe charge OF the work. After
the laboratory has been provided there
would be no fui ther expense to the
state.
The advantage to the state in the es.
tablishment Of a government testing
station would be in the advertising
Oregon material would get as a result
Of the tests. A report Of all tests
would be published in government bull
letins, and an official record would be
kept showing the merits of Oregon
building material.
The nearest government test station
is at Berkeley, CAL, where the bureau
of forestry maintains station similar
to that proposed for Oregon. In add-
tion to setting before the world reliable
information regarding the merits OF
construction material, these stations
afford an opportunity to ascertain
whether materials being used in con
work are of the character
called for by contracts OF whether they
are suited to the purpose for which
used.

Confident of HoIdlnn Out.

Lao Yang, Aug. lS.-Numerous re-
liable reports which have reached here
through dispatch carrier and other
persons are to the effect that despite
the extreme Japanese measures of the
past fortnight to perfect blockade Of
Port Arthur by means of sinking all
the junks near that place, the Russians
outside Port Arthur are considerably
underestimated, as is also the existing
power Of the fortress, which is likely
to hold out for two months and possibly
until January, even under such an
assau as the Japanese are using.
