MOUNDS WANTS TO
ROB MOUND CITY
OF THE COUNTY SEAT OF PuLAS.
XII COUNTY AND CLAIMS SHE
CAN EASILY DO so.

The enterpri5ing citizens of Mounds
are making a strenuous effort TO have
the county seat Of Pulaski county
moved from Mounds City to Mounds
and the Mounds Leader tells in part
how it may be done:
The method we shall adopt is no
secret, Public sentiment in Mounds
and surrounding territory must work
with us, ana the capital will be ours.
There must be no hating or faltering.
We shall write about Ii frequently.
and endeayor to crys.alize public sen.
timent in its favor. Let every citizen
aid in the movement by talking abou,
il TO his neighbor. AS soon as unblic
sentiment is ripe for 1t, vote will be
taken ON the proposition, and we will
make Mound City look like 30 cents.
When the vote was taken upon
this question, several years ago,
Mounds did not have the voting
strength she now has, nor had the
other towns north of us in this coun-
ty. With the increase in population
of these towns, we shall be able to
outvote Monnd City and her col,
leagues. for they have not increased
in population. We can secure the aid
of the Illinois Central railroad. which
has such extensive vested interests
here. which will employ enough legal
voters to assist us in landing the
prize"

Kuropatkin Says 1t Is Impossible to Re

Paris, June "a st. Petersburg
dispatch quotes a general officer OF
the Russian army as follows:
Two days ago there was confsr.
ence between the Emperor and the
chief partisans of General Kuropatki1
and Admiral Alexieff. Tho latter
were active in an attempt to infiu-
ence the Gear to send an order to Gen
eral Kuropatkin to advance at once
and relieve Port Arthur. The inten.
tioD, of course, was to upset the dis.
POSITION Of troops, made by the mill
tary commander-in-chief and compel
him to give battle, even at the risk Of
defeat.
Fortunately the good sense of the
emperor prevailed and he contented
himself with inquiring of General Kur.

his advancing to relieve the beleag.
uered stronghold, saying he wished it
could be Gone, but leaving it to his
general to decide. General Kuropat-
kin replied it was impossible at pres
ent to do anything for General Stoes-
sci and his command. Knowing him as
| do, am certain that the commander
inchief would sooner have resigned
than to have executed an order which
might have brought disaster upon his
troops.n

REPUBLICANS WIN
ENTIRE STATE TICKET ELECTED BY
A BIG MAJORITY.
Democrats Successful In a Number Of
Counties on the Legislative and
County Tickcts-LOCaI Option VIII
Carry by 1000 Direct Primary Nom.
mating Law Swept the State.

In the election Monday the re.
turns indicate that the republican
state ticket Is elected by a plurality
OF 10000.
In the Second District practically
complete returns indicate that ]. N
Williamson has been reelected by I
plurality of $4,000 votes. In the Flrst
District Binger Hermann will have
more than 1000 votes. Incomplete re
turns place his plurality slightly un.
der that figure.
Incomplete returns from rs of SO
counties make 1t certain that the 10.
cal option law has carried by a good
majority. The 1000 votes in Multi.
nomah county cast against the meas.
ure have already been overcome, and
the law has 1765 votes to spare. 1t
is believed complete returns will
greatly enlarge this majority.
The direct primary nominating law
has swept the state by more than 60
900 majority. Little opposition to the
measure was manifested at the polls,
One Of the surprises of the election
was the defeat of B. l.. Eddy, of Til
lamook, for circuit Judge in the Third
Judicial district. His democratic op-
ponent, William Galloway, Of Yamhill,
was elected by q plurality Of 100.
The democratic candidates for the
legislature have been successful In
few counties. The next Oregon IegIs.
lature will consist of 73 republicans,
one Independent republican and Is

PROMISE OF A Biz CROP.
umatllla Wheat Fields are In a Flourish.
ing Condition.

PENDLETON.-Based on reports
from the various sections of the coun.
try, the wheat crop, conservatively es-
timated, will amount to more than
Cy000,000 bushels. The condition OF
growing grain at the present time is
considered most satisfactory and un-
less the weather within the next three
weeks proves unfavorable, farmers
say this years crop will reach 1,500,-
900 bushels In excess Of last year.
The wheat in the vicinity of Pen
dleton is quite far advanced, having
headed out several days ago. The sec.
tion Of the county between Pendleton
aud Athena, which Is owned by the
Umatilla Indians, Ia an immense ex.
panss OF waving grain. Thousands Of
acres In this locality are rented by the
Indians to the large farmers at a
nominal figure, and comprise the rich
est farming land In the country. The
average annual yield is from 80 to 35
bushels an acre, and accordingly the
pront to the farmer is very large. In
reality, the profits realized by the
farmers by renting these lands are
greater than they would be II owned
by the farmers themselves, since q
comparatively small working capital
~ required. The reservation wheat
land will, this year, produce the larg-
est portion Of the crop Of the county,
provided the grain escapes injury
from any tricks of the weather during
the critical period.
Grain in that part of the county
northwest Of the city Is also reported
to be in very healthy condition. 1t
has headed and reached the stage for
haylng. The land in that locality is
lighter and of course the yield is
never as large as that of the reserva
ton lands, yet anything approaching |
a partial failure has never been known |
there.
In the Helix country wheat is look
ing good and an average crop Is in |
The early frosts did some |
damage to grain In that locality, but |
