Great Barley Shipment for Japan.

San Francisco, March 20. One
thousand tons of barley for the Japan
ese government is to be carried by the
steamer Coptic, sailing on April 2, for
the Asiatic coast. This is part of a
large shipment ordered some months
ago before hostilities began with Rus
sia. Several hundred tons of the bar
ley were sent out on the Siberia, but
the bulk of it is to go on the Coptic,
and the disability of most of the Rus
sian warships on the coast of Asia
makes it almost certain that the grain
will reach Yokohama in safety.

FLEETS TO UNITR IN FALL.
Russia VIII Completely Overhaul One
Squadron In the Meantime.


Paris, March ga St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Petite Parisienne
reports an interview with high officer
OF the Russian navy regarding the de-
parture of the Baltic squadron for the
Far East. The feet of Admiral Wire
MUS will, this officer says, be recalled
and thoroughly overhauled. He adds
that the united squadrons cannot leave
before the end of September, when the
sectional torpedo boats which are to be
sent to Port Arthur will be ready.
This will give the Russians a decided
superiority and the war, the officer as
serts, will be brought to speedy close.
The correspondence informant declares
that the cruiser Dmitri Donskoi, on &C
count of its slowness, will remain at
home.
A crisis in the tea trade, adds the
correspondent, has been caused by
merchants, who announce that a 10 per
cent advance in price will be made to-
day.

Oregon Irrigation Methods Are Above
the Average.
Washington, March 30.-The census
bureau today issued preliminary re-
port on irrigation in Oregon in 1902.
It shows that the irrigation conditions
there were above the average. The
better methods of management and a
more economical use of the ordinary
water supply are urged in order greatly
to increase the number of acres that
may be brought under irrigation.
In 1902 the number of farms report
ed was 5,133, with an irrigated area of
439, 1881 acres, an increase since 1899 of
81, ,671 acres, or 1873 per cent for the
three years. The per cent increase for
the 10 years from 1889 to 1899 was
1882.
In 1902 1855 irrigating systems
were in operation, representing total
construction cost of 81, 2,OS9, 500, an av-
erage of $S18 per system and $4.75 per
irrigated acre. The total length of
main canals and bitches was 1858
miles, an average of IA miles per sys-
tenn.
The aggregate number of acres irri-
gated by the 2,417 systems receiving
water from streams was 42S, 1926, be-
longing to 4,978 farms. The average
cost per acre was $4.81. The la sys-
TENS supplied with water from springs
irrigated 1879 acres on 131 farms,
the average cost per acre being $2.31.
Twenty-four we'll systems irrigated 292
acres, representing "a farms, at an
average cost per acre of $15.25.
The stream systems cost, initially,
$2,062, 1873 for 1904 miles of main ca.
mails and bitches and the necessary
dams and head gates. The first cost
of the spring systems was 22,S95,
and the length of main ditehes was 40
miles. The construction of the we'll
systems was $4,536.

HAWAII Is BEST CUSTOMER.
American Trade With Noncontiguoua
Territory.

Washington, March 28.-Commerce
of the United States with it's noncon-
tiguous territory now averages about
5000, 600 per month, and it is appar-
ent that for the full fiscal year it will
aggregate a round 500, 900, ,OOO.' In the
term s'noncontiguous territory are in
cluded Alaska, the Hawaiian islands,
the Philippine islands, Guam, Tutuila
and Porto Rico. Records of their ship
ments to the ports of the United States
and of shipments from the various
ports to them are now regularly pre-
sented by the department of commerce
and labor, through its bureau of statis-
tics.
These records show that the ship
ments from the United States to Alaska,
Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Philippines,
Guam and Tutuila aggregated in the
seven months ending with January,
1904, nearly $21, 100000, and the
merchandise received from them in
the same period, nearly $31 900 900.
If to this is added the gold bullion re-
our commerce with the territory in
question for the seven months ending
with January would amount to nearly
sec, 600 900, which makes it quite ap-
parent that for the fiscal year ending
with June 80 next, the total will be
fully 500, 100000.
OF the shipments to these noncon-
tiugous territories, the largest total for
the seven months under consideration is
to Hawaii, 81 ,224, ,156 worth of domes-
tic merchandise and of foreign mer-
chandise, $52,
