1.-The utterances of the so-called governor
of the state of Mississippi in his inaugural
address," reads the resolution, against
the loyal and progressing colored race in
this country seem to be the Illogical and
wild emanations of a brain diseased with
colored prejudice and too narrowly con-
tracted to grasp deep, broad and states
manlike views"

tional convention, to be held in Chicago,

MYSTERIoUsLY DISAPPEARS.
Missing Woman Known in This City
Publicity Disgusts Father

Miss Evelyn K. Bash, the young woman
who left her home in Baltimore twenty
days ago to visit relatives at Englewood,
N. J., and then disappeared, is known in
this city. Her grandmother, Mrs. Ker, it
is stated, resides here. The young woman's
absence has not yet been explained, and
some of her relatives are of the opinion
that she met with foul play or is being de-
tanned away from home against her will.
The thought has also been suggested that
she has joined theatrical company.
Miss Bash is twenty-four years old. She
Is a daughter of Mr. E. H. Bash of No. II
West goth street, Baltimore. She left home
January to visit cousin Mrs M w.
Doty, at Englewood She was to have tele-
graphed her father from Jersey City. When
she reached there the weather was stormy
and no message came. From Jersey City
she was to have taken an Erie railroad
train to her destination Her trunk was
checked out of the Jersey City station but
no trace of it since then has been found.
Miss Bash never reached Englewood, and
her father has had detectives working on
the case since his daughter disappeared. He
has now become tired of the notoriety
given the disappearance, and declares he
will have nothing more to say to reporters
about the case. He denied, however, that
his daughter had returned or that he had
ascertained anything to indicate her where
aboutS.
Many friends of the missing woman, as
already stated, are of the opinion that she
has gone on the stage. Her father does not
think so. 1t has been only short time
since her cousin, Miss Falconer, was in
Baltimore as member of the Run
aways," and stopped at the Bash home.
Miss Bash and Miss Falconer were together
most of the time during the latter's stay in
Baltimore The "Runaways' company is
at Newport News. and message received
from there yesterday gave the Information
that Miss Bash is not with the company.

japanese Desire That He Deal a
Crushing Blow.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 26.-There is no
news of immediate Importance from
the Far East tonight. The indica-
tions are that both sides are heavily
entrenching, although it is believed
General kuropatkln will be ready Tor
forward movement at an early moment
unless heavy japanese relnforcements
compel him to resume the defensive.
Reports that japanese reintorcements
are arriving. taken in connection with
the enforced inactivity OF the Russian
forces on account OF the weather, Is telt
to be a grave factor in the situation.
there is reason to believe that the Jap
anese are drawing heavily on the Port
Arthur army as well as on Japan, in
hopes of securing a numerical superior
ity that will enable Field Marshal Oya-
ma to infict a crushing blow upon
General Kuropatkin when hostllltles
are resumed.
General Sakharoff, telegraphing yes
terday. reported that there was no
change in the situation. The war
Office does not confirm the report that
the Russians have occupied Bentsla-
putzs.
The official returns of the Russian
losses received up to date do not exceed
80 900. General Sakharoff telegraphs
that there was no fighting during the
night of October 1924.
The Russians buried l, 800 Japanese
at Lone Tree Hill.

QOad to GaIiCe.

will be completed in six weeks. Con-
siderable freight is here awaiting the
completion of the road, among it a saw
mill for the Rand mine. The Mel lin
Townsite company has material on
hand for the constr uo tion of a tele-
phone line to Cali as soon as the road
is completed. It would be in opera
ton now, but it was desired to have it
follow the new road. 1t is intended to
carry the line four miles beyond Galice,
giving service to the Almeda, Rand,
Big Tank and other mines. The ex-
penditure of a small amount of money
will also complete the new road to the
mines named.

BARRETT SUITS ROOSEVELT.
Secretary Taft Sent to Panama at
Minister'S Request.

Washington, Oct. 26.-John Barrett,
minister to Panama, will be unable to
visit Portland and cast his vote next
month. The president has requested
him to etart for Panama November in
order to prepare for the reception OF
Secretary Taft a week later.
Secretary Hay took particular pains
today, in talking with a group OF news
paper men, to make it plain that the
sending of Secretary Taft to Panama
was in no way reflection upon Minis
ter Barrett. The secretary said Barrett
had been unjustifably criticised by
some opposition papers, and it had
been limited that the president was dis
satisfied with his conduct of affairs at
Panama. Secretary Hay went so far
as to say the reverse was true-that the
president was entirely pleased with
Minister Barrett's work, and was send
ing Secretary Taft to Panama at Mr..
Barrett's suggestion.

To Make Permanent Path Is Policy
of County Court.

Oregon City-"During the last yea'
Clackamas county has expended $4O,-
600 in roadbuilding," says Judge Ry-
an. "The policy of the county court
is to build permanently when any piece
of road is constructed and where the
funds are available" continued Mr..
Ryan. "This year Clackamas county
has been especially fortunate in its
roadbuilding. having funds on hand
with which to meet every warrant that
has been issued on this account. In
our loadbullding the court has been
disposed very generally to fellow the
plan of reducing the grade of all roads
that are treated, finding that this
course contributes much to the perma-
nency of the improvements that are
made"
The announcement that Clackamas
tounty roads will next year be expert
mented with in the use OF Oil has
aroused much interest. Judge Ryan
has received numerous inquiries from
California producers, who Lave Offered
to del yer the oil here at no greater g
cost than it costs in California. The
court will place this oil on all OF the
different kinds of clay soil in the coun
ty and determ ne its value IN road cor
struction.

ALASkANS NOT WANTED.
Indian Bureau Desires They Be
Educated at Home.

Washington, Oct. 26.-The Indian
bureau in the interior department is
decidedly opposed to accepting Alaskan
pupils at any OF its schools. 1t is the
opinion of this bureau that Indian ap-
preparations are made for the sole
benefit of the Indians of the United
States proper. Proceeding on this
theory, the Indian Office is endeavoring
to eliminate from all Indian schools all
pupils other than true Indians. The
Alaskans are in the excluded classes
g Indian bureau does not regard them
as Indians, though their exact classlti-
cation has never been finally determ-
ined. ....
There are but two Indian schools
which have Alaskan pupils-Chemawa
with half a dozen, and the Carlisle
school, in Pennsylvania, with 30.
The Alaskan pupils at both schools are
to be eliminated gradually from the
classes and returned to their homes
unless congress intervenes in the mean
time and authorizes their retention in
these two big Indian institutions.

Sowing Fall Wheat.

Albany-Linn county farmers are
sowing a great deal of fall wheat now,
and from present prospects the acreage
of wheat sown in this county will be
three or four times as large as that
sown last year. There are several reas-
ons for this. Last fall was not auspic-
ious for sowing grain, and the acreage
was small, while this fall has been q
good one for seeding purposes. The
spring grain this year was compl. ter
failure, and the spring yield for several
years has been light, so farmers in this
part of the state are beginning to
abandon the pratice of sowing at that
time.
