AIRSHlpS ARD FEW.
No Successful Flight Has Yet Been
Made at st. Louis.

St. Louis, Sept. 21.-As the closed
prize matches at the Worlds Fair ap.
proaches the question of extending
the time and otherwise modifying the
rules governing the contest is being
considered by the aeronautic commit
tee.
The time limit set by the rules, be-
fore which the contestants for the
grand prize were to have began their
trial flights, is September 80. AS this
is only II days away and none of the
contestants as yet has made a sue
cessful flight and no definite dates
have been set for future trial flights,
the question Of extending the time for
the contests rather than have them go
by default is receiving the serious con-
sideratfon of the exposition authori-
ties.
At present there are only three
aeronauts in the city who have enter
ed the match for the grand prize.
They are: T. G. Benbow, of Montana;
Captain Baldwin, OF San Francisco,
and Francis Contour, a French aeron-
aut, who arrived in St. Louis Satur-
day. OF the three, Benbow is the only
one who has made a trial flight. At
the time he essayed officially his air
ship was not free of the ground, being
held captive by rope from the
ground, and he, Of course, did not
qualify.
Captain Baldwin is the only one of
the three who is known positively to
have qualified for an entry in the con-
test for the grand prize.

BEET HARVEST is ON.
Heavy Yield of Fine Qualify in
Fields at La Grande.

La Grande.-The digging of the new
crop of beets for the sugar factory To-
Gated near this city, has commenced.
and will be pushed. The season has
been very favorable one for beet
growers, and the yield will be much
greater than in any previous year. A
number Of fields, it is estimated, will
produce over II tons to the acre, and
some as high as Is tons per acre, all
of excellent quality.
Extensive improvements are being
made in the factory, and much new
machinery is being added A large
tank for storing syrup is being built,
as the present one is inadequate to
hold the syrup left over from the
seasons run.
Flowing has begun on the 1900 acre
farm lately purchased by the sugar
company, near Union, a large portion
of which will be planted in sugar beets
for the next years crop.

Railroad to Be Extended.

Cottage Grove.-G. B. Hengen, of
New York, business manager of the
Oregon & Southeastern Railroad Com
pany, has been here several days,
looking over the affairs of the two
companies. He announced that con-
struction will commence on the ex-
tension of the railroad soon. The
road is now 16 miles long, and force
will be kept at work until the line is
completed to the reserve line, dis
tance Of four miles. A part of the
road is to be completed this winter.
Relative to the Oregon Securities
Company, he said it would probably
be 60 days before the large mill plant
would be put in operation. They have
22O feet of cross-cut in hard rock to
run yet before they strike the Cham
pion lead. The water is very low, and
they are only to run one shift day.

Lucen cutoff of the Hartman system,
running across the north end Of Great

Frighfful Scenes Enacted About port
Arthur Forts.

Chefoo, Sept. 21.-According to
Lieutenant Prince Radzivil, of the
Russian army, who reached here last
night from Port Arthur, bearing dis
patches from General Stoessel, the
commander-in-chief of the Russian
stronghold, to General Kuropatkin,
the temper of the belligerents at Port
Arthur has reached an absolutely mer-
ciless stage. Prince Radzivil served
with the British in the Boer War, and
he says that until he became aware of
the state of affairs at Port Arthur he
had no idea that war could be so hor-
rible.
It was set forth In these dispatches
some weeks ago that serious suspic-
ions were entertained by both bellig-
erents that the other was misusing
the Red Cross. The suspicious have
been increased by the commission of
various acts by the soldiers of both
armies until now even flags of truce
or surrender are not respected by
either side.
Prince Radzivil declares that the
men of both armies are absolutely
venemous in their antagonism. Lieut.
enant-General Stoessel has addressed
his garrison, saying that the present
mood of the Japanese indicates clear
ly the necessity of resisting them to
the last drop of Russian blood, be-
cause if the japanese soldiers entered
the fortress it undoubtedly would be
impossible for their officers to con-
troll them and prevent massacre
For this reason Lieutenant-G General
Stoessel is making no objection to civ
ilians leaving Port Arthur.
When the 800 women who are en-
gagged in Port Arthur in hospital work
were advised to leave, they replied
they would rather face the possibility
of massacre than desert their posts.
In consequence of the fact that
flags Of truce are ignored, numbers of
the japanese dead which have been
lying on the slopes of the hills Of the
northeast defenses for weeks past are
still unburied, and the stencil in Port
Arthur from decomposing bodies when
the wind is in the right direction is
almost unbeaTable.
The Russian soldiers, who are in
some cases posted within 500 PAGES
from heaps of decaying dead, have
constantly to wear their handker.

wise they would be unable to remain

pany, the Pacific States Warehouse
Company and the Pacific Coast Ele-
ator Company, all of whom have re-
ceived immense amounts. Hauling

WORK STARTS
Irrigation Convention Meets
at Ontario.
THIRD SESSION OF ASSOCIATION
About 200 Delegates in Attendance
-naIheur County Has an Ex-
cepfiOnaIIy Fine Fruit Exhibit.

Ontario, Or, Sept. 20.-The third
annual irrigation convention met here
yesterday afternoon, President Devers,
of Portland, presiding. Rev. David
Sepp pronounced the invocation, after
which Mayor Lackey extended a most
cordial and hearty welcome to the del
egates. President Devers responded tc
the welcome.
The convention took a recess after
President Devers' address until 8 P. M.
The evening session was held in the
Congregational church, which was
crowded to its capacity, most all of the
delegates having arrived on the delayed
trains since the afternoon meeting.
After singing "America" Governor
Chamberlain was introduced as the
first speaker of the evening. The gov
e1nor congratulated the people of NAL
heur county on the magnificent fruit
exhibit. He said he had visited St..
Louis and viewed the horticultural ex-
hibts from all the states, Oregon in
cluded, and he could state, speaking
from personal knowledge on the subject,
that the exhibit made by the people of
Malheur for this convention was finer
in every respect than that of any state
or territory at St. Louis. The governor
sud he had wired President Myer, of
the state commission, to come over and
secure and send this exhibit to St.
Louis at once.
The governor then spoke at some
length in regard to the irrigation pro-
jects inaugurated under the Carey act.
Contracts have been signed and lands
segregated to the extent of 120, 500
acres and applications are pending for
267 $50 acres more, enough to provide
homes for 80, 900 people.
H. B. Gates, of Hillsboro, member
of the state irrigation commission,
spoke of the proposed irrigation laws
the commission is preparing and con-
graduated the people of Malheur on be-
ing the first in Oregon to secure govern
ment aid for irrigation.
Judge Lowell, of Pendleton, said he
wanted to live to see the day when the
line of demarkation between East and
West Oregon would be wiped away by
the heartbeat of a united people, and
in closing he gave the convention the
sentiment: "Oregon for Oregon"
E. M. Brannik, of Portland, spoke in
the interest of the Lewis and Clark fair
and urged the people to work for and
aid the fair in every way possible.
The evening was enlivened by several
songs by Rev. DR.. Sepp.
President Devers, at the request of
the local committee, appointed F. W.
Sheffield, DR.. Withycombe and Pro-
lessor F. w. Young to act as judges OF
the horticultural and agricultural ex-
hibits. The exhibits of fruits made by
the fruit growers of Malheur county
has proved to be the most attractive
as we'll as the most astonishing feature
of the convention. Nothing to equal
it, says Governor Chamberlain, Presi-
dent Devers, Judge Lowell and others,
has ever been seen in Oregon. ALI
visitors from other portions of the state
join in this opinion. There are about
200 delegates in attendance.

No Permit for Sheep.

Enterprise.-Hubbar Flerchinger,
a sheepman of Asotin county, who
was arraigned in the justice court on
the charge of running sheep into this
state without a permit from the stock
inspector of this county, was fined
$50. Deputy District Attorney S. q
Henderson prosecuted the case, and
Hon. J. A. Burleigh, ex-representative
for Union and Wallowa counties, was
for the defeuse. The sheepmen of
Asotin county have been running their
sheep into this county for several
years, and there are reported to be
six other sheepmen from that section
who have their sheep in the northern
part of the county at the present
time, and who will in all probability
have to answer to the same charge
as Flerchinger. The case tried will
be appealed to the circuit court.
Fire in Cascade Reserve.
Albany.-Parties returning from the
Breitenbush Hot Springs report de-

mountains along the North Santiam
river. One Of these fires is in the
magnificent timber of the Cascade
forest reserve and is doing consider
able damage. It started about 16
miles northeast of Detroit, and is
burningsin a northern direction.
This fire is in the heart of the Cas-
cade forest reserve, and quite a dis
tance from the course of travel or
camping places Of pleasure-seekers.
It Is presumed to have been started
by the Indians in an effort to destroy
the feed on the reserve and thus keep
out the sheep, great herds of which
are annually driven over the Indian
hunting grounds in the reserve.
