NAY BOTTLE kUROpATkIN.
German Experts Believe japanese
will EnCirCle Lao Yang.

Berlin, Aug. 31.-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 fortifving of
the town was entrusted to General Mel
ishtko, who enjoys here the reputation
of being master of military engineer
ing. During the past two months he
has fortified all the strategic positions
around Lao Yang in a manner we'll
nigh imp1egnable.
The German critics think Lao
Yang's defenses about equalize the diff
ference in numbers between the Rus
sians-estlmated at $50. .O00-and the
Japanese, numbering 240, 900.
The danger of General Kuropatkin's
situation is recognized as being bottled
up like Field Marshal Bazajne, who
surrendered Metz to the German forces
in 1870. 1t is doubted by the experts
if General Kuropatkin will be able to
prevent the complete encircling of Lao
Yang, which would mean probably the
eventual loss of his army.

FARMERS ARE PANIC PROOF.
Umafilla County Assured of Pros
porous Year.

Pendleton-The financial depression
and the businss stagnation which usual
ly 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 60 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 pape, will be paid off.
As it is, few have received the money
for the wheat sold, and only a 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.

ELECTRIC ROAD IN unAT,LLA.
Will Be Built IT portage Road Is
Constructed.

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 it
is believed that something tangible lies
behind 1t. It is understood that the
promoters of this scheme are prominent
residents of Umatilla county and that
they will carry the project to success
full 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. cit
is 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 UmatiIla and the other Wal
lula. The latter point will probably
be chosen, as road between that juno
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.
