I'VE are making every possible eff
fort to secure a big, strong delegation
to represent the northwest at the ma
tional irrigation congress, Eel Paso,
Texas, November 1918, and from pres
ent indications, believe that a large
number will go. The late activity
along irrigation lines has greatly slim
ualted the interest in this years con-
vention, as has also the prospect of
securing the next congress for Port
land in 1905.
Over $4,000 is being expended for
entertainment purposes, which will in
clude banquets, balls, barbeques, smok-
ers, excursions, drilling contests, In
dian exhibitions, bull fights, etc. A
convention hall is being erected which
will comfortably seat 5000 people, and
there will be heard the addresses and
discussions prepared for the occasion.
Papers will be read and speeches
delivered by the most able propogan-
dists along their respective lines that
there are in the country. For conven-
fence, the program has been divided
into sections each in charge of men
of national reputation. Hon. Clifford
Pinchot, chief of the bureau OF Tor
estry, will superintend the forestry
section. Chief Engineer F.. H. Newell
of the reclamation service will con
duct the section devoted to engineer
ing and mechanics. Climatology has
been placed in charge of Willis l.

TRADE REPORT.

Dun's Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business improves steadily, and there
is no evidence of anxiety regarding the
future. Payments are more prompt
ly met, tending to stimulate prospects
for coming trade, and the disposition
to limit purchases to immediate needs
is gradually disappearing. Conserva-
tism during the summer and autumn
had beneficial effect, reducing stocks
to a low point. AS demand broadens
this scarcity Of supply operates for
quick delivery and prices are strength
ened. Aside from imitation caused by
speculation, there is no better sign OF
commercial progress than advancing
commodity markets.
All the leading branches of manufac-
ture are in better positions.
Wholesome progress is recorded in
the iron and steel industry, sentiment
tai improvement being succeeded by
actual business.
Limited supplies maintain hides in q
very strong position, and some lines
are bought on advance of sailing.
Raw wool has again advanced, and
is an important factor in the situation
Commercial failures last week in the
United States were 229.

VLAD|VOSTOK WELL GUARDED
A SECOND PORT ARTHUR-HAR-
Dor is MINED.
Garrison Is Strong-Europeans Are
Not Leaving-MaiI Trains Arrive
and Depart From the City Every
Day-Immense Supply of Coal on
Hand.

Chefoo. Nov. S.-As the result of
months of preparation Vladivotsok is
now strongly protected, according to
Captain Halvorsen of the Norwegian
steamer fungus, which, as told in
these dispatches last evening, arrived
here five days out from that port with
700 Chinese refugees, who were unable
to live at Vladivostok any longer ow-
ing to the high prices of food and other
necessaries, due to the war.
Captain Halvorsen says that the
Vladivostok system of Notifications be-
gins many miles outside the city prop
er and grows stronger as the city is
approached.
Ships laden with food, cannon, am
munition and all sorts of military sup
plies frequently arrive at Vladivostok,
according to Captain Halvorsen, who
says that five ships engaged in I'M
loading their cargoes were in port
when the fungus sailed.
The captain is unable to estimate
the strength of the garrison, but he
seems to be either an officer or an
ordinary soldier.
The European residents of Vladivo
stok show their confidence in the Sc
curity of the city by evidencing an
unwillingness to leave il.
II the Japanese make an attempt
to capture Vladivostok it is the be
lief of Captain Halvorsen that they
will find it to be second Port Arthur
Captain Halvorsen says that he be
lieves submarine boats have arrived
at Vladivostok, but adds that he is mo-
positive in this belief, for the reason
that at present the Russian naval sc
crets are being most closely guarded
The harbor of Vladivostok, he says
has been mined for distance of sever
miles. In four miles of this are'
contact mines have been laid, Will
in the remaining three miles electri
mines have been planted.
Mail trains arrive at and depar
from Vladivostok every day, and Their
is now stored there an immense sur
ply of coal taken from mines in tn
neighborhood of the city.

in progress. Speaker Brisson left the
chair, thus suspending the sitting

the sitting being resumed, Syveton's
temporary exclusion was voted. The
member, however, refused to leave his
seat, and it became necessary to again
suspend the sitting while he was re
moved by military guard.

WILL WE EVER KNOW?
Cars Government Keeps North Sea
Incident a Secret.

London.-It begins to seem doubtful
whether the world will ever know
much more about the North sea trag-
edy than 1t knows now. Everything
London learns concerning the attitude
of the Russians lends itself to the view
that the cars government has deter
mined so far as it is able to suppress
the truth touching the horrible affair.
1t is not believed here by those whose
opinions are entitled to the greatest
weight that the Russian admiralty is
without full information of what took
place off the Doggerbank. On the con-
trary it is believed that the Russian
authorities are in possession of facts
which show that her warships fought
one another with shot and shell, and
that there was not the sign of an en-
envy anywhere about.

one-third of the ninety members of
the United States Senate expire with
that of President Roosevelt. In few
states their seats have already been
filled, but in many others the complex
ion of the legislature elected on Tues
day will decide. Upward of a score
of the states will elect governors and
some others choose minor state Of
