HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
LINN FARMERS HIT HARD.
Late Spring and Long Dry Spell Have
Cost Much.

Albany Rain, which was general
over the Willamette valley last week
came too late to be Of great benefit to
farmers. Had the showers come two
weeks earlier, thousands Of dollars
would have been saved for the farmers
OF Linn county. As 1t ia, the crops
are far below the average for Linn
county farmers, in many instances are
total failure. The only benefit the
farming community will derive from
the rains will be in the way OF gardens
and the very late sown spring oats, OF
which there is small acreage.
For two months not drop Of rain
fell on the grain fields OF the county.
This is dfouth almost unprecedented
here. Its evil effect was aggravated
by the late spring rains. Farmers gen
elally were depending upon putting in
greater acreage than usual in spring
sOwn grain, and the unusually bad
weather of the late winter seemed to
assure some good working days in the
early spring. Instead Of this, the rain
held on until almost too late to plant
the spring grain at all, and when good
weather did come, it developed into a
drouth.
The result is that spring grain is
heading few inches from the ground,
and much of it will not be bound at
all. That which is threshed will
yield poorly. The heads are small and
very poorly flied. Nor is the fall sown
grain of its usual standard of excel.
leDce. That part of the fall grain that
was sowed on low ground will be fair,
in some instances making three-fourths
of a crop rarely promising full crop.
The hay crop has not averaged more
than half what it was in years gone
by. The haying season is about over,
and the genera! report is half a crop.
This will put farmers in inn county
in hard circumstances this fall. Al
ready many of them are buying feed
for their stock, and but few will have
enough to last the winter through.
The price of feed is rising in the coun-
ty, and the mills are selling it every
day to the farmers who were never
compelled to buy feed at any season
before. There are some who will have
to buy wheat for their own family con-
before the yeal ends.

BREAK OF A GREAT DAM.
Pennsylvania Valley Flooded and Much
Property Destroyed.

scottdale, Pa, July 20.-With the
roar Of Niagara, the new reservoir of
the Citizens Water company burst at
midnight and more than 1000, 900
gallons of water rushed down the val
ley, sweeping buildings in its path.
1t was discovered about 8 O'Clock
that the dam was in danger of break
ing and messengers were hastily sent
through the valley to warn the people.
Hundreds of lives were thus saved, foi
few hours later the whole valley was
under water.
The damage to the machinery and
reservoir alone will amount to at least
$50, 900. When the torrent swept
down upon the valley, buildings were
torn from their foundations and carried
on the crest of the great wave like SO
many washtubs. Crops valued at
thousands of dollars were completely
wiped out.

LOST 1000 MEN.


FaSS anu ate NepHiSeus
St. Petersburg, July 20.-General
Kuropatkin reports that Lieutenant
General Count Keller lost over 1000
killed or wounded in the attack on Mo
Tien pass, July II.
The following dispatch from General
Kuropatkin to the emperor, dated July
II, "on our Eastern 'front.'" was given
out tonight:
"AfteT the occupation by General
KurCki's army of the passes in the Fen
shut mountain chain, our information
concerning his disposition was, in gen.
eral, d.quate.
According to some reports his army
had been reinforced and had even ex-
tended his forces toward Saimatsza.
Other reports said that displacement
of his troops had been made in the di
rection Of Ia pass and Siuyjen. There
were even indications that Kuroki had
transferred his headquarters dom Tsk-
hahekanan to Touinpu.
'At about 5 80 on the morning Of
July II, the Japanese, in considerable
strength, and with numerous guns, oc-
cupied Wa Fankwan pass, and on the
mountainous bluffs to the south, on
the flank of General Kastalinsky's col
umn. From this position and from
the crest of the mountains to the east
of the heights surmounted by the tenn
pie, the enemy directed a very heavy
rifle and artillery fire.
General Kashtalinsky advanced to
occupy the bluffs, sending forward at
once one and then three battalions, but
the attempt failed, Notwithstanding
the support given by the horse noun
tain battery, as our field guns could
not be brought into action on account
of the nature of the ground.
"Our losses have not yet been exact
ly ascertained, but General Keller re.
ports that they exceed 1000.

HELD UP BY SHOT.
Russian Steamer Stops British Vessel In
the Red Sea.

London, July 20.--A dipsatch from
Alden to the Daily Mail says that the
captain Of the British steamer Waipara
reports that the Russian volunteer
steamer st. Petersburg signalled him
TO stop by firing across the bows of his
vessel on July Is, while 20 miles off
Jebel Zugur, in the Red sea.
The Russians examined the papers
of the Waipara and declared they
would hold his ship as a prize. The
captain protested, and was taken on
board the st. Petersburg, where he
gave the Russian officers a guarantee
that there were neither arms nor am
intuition on board the Waipara destin-
ed for japan. The vessel was detained
for four hours and was then allowed to
proceed.
The captain confirms the report that
the Peninsular & Oriental company's
steamer Malaica was seized in the Red
sea July l6 by the st. Petersburg on
the ground that she carried arms and
ammunition of war for the japanese
government.

LION LIES IN WAIT.
warshlps VIII Compel Russia to Olive Up
Oriental Liner.

London, July 2l,-It is believed by
leading naval officials here, who are
cognizant OF certain sweeping orders is
sued yesterday by the admiralty, that
the British government intends to com
pei Russia to surrender the Peninsular
& Oriental liner Malacca, seized as q
prize of war by the Russian cruiser st.
Petersburg, and en- route TO Libau
under a prize crew. II is also gener-
ally understood in naval, circles that
no other British ships will be stopped
by the Russians after the British cruis-
ers reach the scene.
The orders to commanders OF the lat
ter vessels are declared to be short, but
explicit, and provides that British ves-
sells shall be free to navigate Eastern
waters, without recognizing the war
ships OF any other power, or the right
TO search them for contraband.
One Of the developments yesterday
was the detachment by Admiral Dom
vile, commanding the Mediterranean
feet, of his two swiftest cruisers to pro-
ceed at full speed to Poit Said, which
is at the northern end Of the Suez ca
nal. 1t is understood that these two
vessels will arrive at Port Said before
the Malacca, and be there when the
latter emerges from the canal. 1t lie
considered likely that they will compei
the Russians to give up their prize, al
though, OF course, their future action
is carefully guarded, and Iaymen can
only conjecture and reason from the at
titude of the naval chiefs.
Naval officers generally agree that
such action can be confidently expected,
and they are for the most part now dis
cussing the probable attitude of Russia
when the Malacca is taken by force.

Two More Steamers Held Up.

London, July 2O.-TAe Daily Mails
correspondent at Alden says that the
British steamers Woodcock and Dali
malta were held up by the Russians in
the Red sea and detained for three
hours. The correspondent says the
captain of the Russian volunteer fleet
steamer st. Petersburg has notified the
British residents at Alden to wire the
British consul at Suez and Port Said
that he would seize any British steam
ers bound for the Far East, if the con-
tents of their packages were not clearly
shown on their manifests.

FLEET ON RAID.
VIadivostOk Ships Enter Pacific Ocean
and lake Japanese Steamsr.


Toxic, July 21.-The Vladivostok
squadron has overhauled japanese
steamer eastward of Tsugar straits.
The name of the vessel captured and
her fate has not yet been learned.
The Vladivostok squadron, unac-
companied by torpedo boats, entered
the Pacific ocean today at z o'clock.
Its destination is unknown, but it is
suggested it possibly plans to raid the
east coast of Japan and then either re-
turn to Vladivostok, escaping to the
southwark, or attempting to form a
junction with the Port Arthur fleet.
The squadron was discovered in the
straits Of Tsugar at 8 o'clock this NOM
ing, steaming rapidly eastward.
At $3.50 A. M. it was reported of
Tappicape, and at 7 A. M. observers at
Hakkodate discovered and reported to
Toxic that it was then steaming east
Warnings have gone out to shipping
along the eastern coast of Japan and
merchantmen are burriedly seeking
cover. 1t is expected that most OF the
shipping will be warned before the
Russian ships can inhict serious dam
age, if a raid is intended.
Ordinarily, lack of ccal would pre-
vent an extended cruise, but it is possi-
BILE that the Russians possess a collier
at rendezvous in the Pacific ocean.

LabOrers Needed at Oregon CITY.

Oregon City-Labor of all kinds was
never more plentiful nor were wages
ever better than they are in this city
this season. 1t seems impossible to
find available men to perform the
many improvements that are being
made. The Willamette Pulp & Paper
mills has been advertising for addition
al men to assist in the building Of their
new mills where 200 laborers are al
ready employed. The management Of
the local woolen mills is finding it next
to impossible to engage sufficient
force Of operatives.

sition but the general attack is being
postponed until supplies and reinforce
ments come to the front. Progress
along the muddy roads and mountain
passes is slow.

Eiemmed In By Big Fire.

Oroville, Cal, July 2O.-Fire at the

destroyed the mill, engine room and
other buildings close to the mouth Of
the big tunnel. A huge pile of timber
lay close to the mouth of the tunnel
and this caught on fire. Four men
were working in the tunneI when the
fire broke out and fears are entertained
for their safety, as the tunnel is strong
ly timbered and it is thought these
timbers will catch fire from the huge
fire now blazing.

Mexico City, July 20,-The formal
transfer of the volcano Popocatepetl
to New York capitalists will be com.
pIeted this week. The Inter- Ocean
railway will take the sulphur from the
volcano to Vera Cruz. 1t is believed
that sulphur can be landed at New
York for s4S per ton (gold), which
would make the sulphur an effective
competitor of the Italian article. The
reorganization is interpreted here to
mean that the German directors were
not willing to support the Standard in
fighting the other oil interests.

FAMILY OF SENATOR QUAY.
Two Daughters and Son Constitute
His Home Circle,

Senator Quay's two charming daugh.
tiers care little for the whirl of so
ciety either in Washington or else
where. They have a beautiful home
in the national capital and another in
Florida, but would rather live at the
old homestead in Beaver Pa, than
either of the others. 1t is an old
fashioned place, roomy and comfort
able, almost within sight Of the church
where the senator's father used to
preach long ago. At one time Dick"
Quay, the son. thought he rather fan
cied society. Then the fine old stock
showed and he got married and made
power Of himself in the steel and
tin plate world, instead Of a graceful
figure leading cotilion. 1t is be-
lieved the senator is able to leave a
million to each member Of his family.
