WOOL GROWERS

ORGANIZATION HOLDS ANNUAL
MEETING AT PORTLAND. =" =
Former United States Senator Warren
of Wyoming, President of the Asso-
citation, Delivers His Annual Adj
dress, in Which He Declares the
Interests of Wool Growers and Man
ufacturers of Wooden Goods to Be
Identical.

Portland, Oregon, Jan. i 1.-THE
convention Of the National Wool
Growers association was called to or
der here to-day with sheep men from
the western states and representatives
of allied interests from various parts
Of the country present. Among those
in attendance were two of President
tRoosevelt's commissioners to investi-
gate the public land question which
will be one Of the important matters
presented for consideration by the
wool growers.
Ex-United States Senator Warren of
Wyoming, president Of the Wool
Growers association, presided, and the
business Of the convention was in
augurated with the reading of his an
nual address.
Senator Warren's Address.
The changes since 1865 in the wool
growing Industry have brought about new
problems. "A snong them is the adaptation
oi u, Industry to the public land laws,
with a view to fostering to the greatest
degree the most important industries af-
Elected
In forest reservation matters there has
been friction and the patience of flock
masters has been sorely tried. But there
is prospect Of forestry matters being
consolidated in the department of agri-
culture, and for a satisfactory adjustment
of many of the troubles which have here
tofore attended forestry administration.
The interest of the wool growers and
wool manufa cturers are in the main mu-
tual. There is very little that the two
can or should differ about, and a great
deal upon which both should agree In
the matter Of protection by means Of
tariff for both there should be no differ
ences. One matter in which there is an
apparent difference of opinion is in the
prevention of alleged fraudulent sales of
wooden goods.
We are reasonably certain that the pres
ent protective tariff legislation will not be
disturbed, and therefore we apprehend no
violent or sudden change in the industry.
With comparative freedom from appre-
hension on this score, we have time and
inclination to seek better methods of pre-
pairing the wool for market and more sat
isfactory methods of marketing-in fact
we enter the year 1904 in condition and
with sentiment to improve and build UP
and make permanently prosperous this
great industry.

Water That Can MAGNETIC.

A reputable scientific publication is
sponsor for the statement that there
exist in at least three places in the
state of Indiana springs or wells
whose water possesses marked magne-
tism and is able to impart 1t to steel
objects dipped therein. This proper
ty has been reported of other springs
In various parts Of the world, but such
tales have been received by scientific
men with caution. In this case the
magnetism seems to arise from the
fact that considerable quantities of
carbonate of iron are dissolved in he
water. When It stands for some time
this decomposes into carbonic acid
gas, which escapes, and magnetic iron
oxide. which falls to the bottom of the
containing vessel as a powder. When
the decomposition has ceased the
water is no longer magnetic. These
springs are said to cause perceptible
deviation Of compass needle, and
knife blade is magnetized sufficiently
to sustain needles by It's point, retain
ing this property for thirty hours.
The water corrodes locomotive boilers,
but, when allowed to stand till the
carbonate has all decomposed, can be
used with impunity.-Success

THOUSANDS OF WOUNDED
DRAGGING INTO MUkDEN

Mukden, Oct. 15.-Tbe fighting ragged
yesterday with the same bitterness as
on the previous days of the engage
ment and the result is still in the bal
ance. The losses On both sides are
enormous, that of the Russians being
$4,000. Wounded soldiers are being
brought in from all directions. The
roads are crowded with long trains of
wagons, baggage and transport
wagons, as well as ambulances, being
pressed into service, even Chinese two
wheeled carts filling the mandate of
the military. Men afoot are limping
in, using their guns as crutches, the
less severely wounded supporting t|r
comrades, after a first-aid dressing
on the firing line. Even across the
fields you meet them, taking the short
est and straightest road for help and
shelter. 1t is the most pitiful feature
of the bloody drama being enacted at
the front, when, stiffening with
wounds, pain racked bodies sink to the
roadside after the support of the dan
ger and glory of active fight have been
withdrawn.
In the distance sounds of the bat
tie are still plainly heard.

RUSSIAN SHELLS FALL
LIKE THE Sewers GRAIN

SouZatoum, II miles south of Muk-
den, Oct. IA Russian correspondent
of the Associated Press gives details
of the fighting, his story beginning
with the Japanese attack about mid
night of October 10. The japanese
hurled their full force against the Rus
sian entertainments. The attack did
not cease for hours. Just as day
dawned the Russian batteries poured
shrapnel into the Japanese, and soon
the enemy was leaving the trenches.
Shells followed the Japanese literally
like wheat thrown by the hand of the
sower. In their flight the Japanese
fired village rightly calculating that
the wind from the east would carry
the smoke towards the Russians, MAX
ing a screen for them and confusing
the aim of the Russian gunners. The
fight ragged along the whole line all the
morning. At noon the Japanese bat
teries opened and the battle continued.
During the night attack the losses
were heavy. The Tomsk regiment
suffered terribly, but few of that bril-
liant command surviving. There are
only remnants left of many other regi-
ments, but the few left bravely contin-
ued the fight.
The Japanese Thursday landed an
unexpected blow on the Russian right
flank and took two batteries, but the
Russians regained them.

AMENDMENT.
lAYMEN FAVOR CHANGE
Measure Passes the Popular Body But
Fails When Count Is Made by Dio-

Force Since 1S59-High Church for
the Reform.

Boston, Oct. 15.-The house of dep
uties of the Episcopal general conven-
ton, at the close of four days de-
bate, yesterday rejected an amend
ment to the divorce canon, which
sought to prevent the remarriage of
divorced persons by the clergymen of
the denomination. While the house of
bishops may yet act on the matter, it
is certain that no change will be made
by the present convention.
The present law of the church, which
has been in operation since 1859, al
lows the remarriage of the innocent
party to a divorce granted for infidel-
Iity. At several conventions attempts
have been made to recall this law and
when vote was taken yesterday by
the deputies sitting as committee of
the whole, on the question of report
ing the proposed amendment TO the
house itself, the reformers were sue
cessful by a vote of PA to 191, and
this vote was regarded as representing
the actual strength of the contending
forces.
The final vote, however, was taken
by dioceses and orders where diocese
was evenly divided in sentiment, its
strength was counted in the negative.
The vote by dioceses was:
Clerical-For the amendment, 80;
against, 81; divided, 10.
Lay vote-For, %; against, "a; di-
vided, 6.
The issue was not a party one, al
though the whole strength of the high
church forces was given to the reform
movement. The president of the house
of deputies, Rev. DR.. r. H. McGill of
Washington, voted for the old canon,
although the clerical vote of his 'dio-
cese supported the proposed change,

Bulletin.

Washington, Oct. 15.-It developed
mail for the United States cruiser
Cincinnati, then at Nagasakl, Japan,
which was abroad the British steam
er Calchas, when that vessel was
seized by the Russian Vladivostok
squadron, was opened while in pos
session of the Russian officials, sub
seQuently resealed and sent on to its
destination. This information came
to the Iostoffice department yester-
day in a communication from the Jap
anese postal administration, in con-
formity with the practice always fol-
lowed when there has been any mis-
hap in the delivery of mail pouches.
The matter will be referred to the
state department for action, as was
done with the case of ordinary Unit
ed States mail on the vessel at the
time she was seized.
The latest phase of the seizure OF
the Calchas' mails has caused painful
surprise in official circles and if the
act of opening the pouch addressed
to the Cincinnati was willingly done
the probability is that a strong pro-
test will be lodged with the Russian
government 1t is stated at the navy
department that the mail pouch re-
ferred to did not contain any official
communications, simply mail for the
men aboard the ship.
