70 sell one offer was of Sl00.J00 ia gold
Tor the timber alone. They also had a
number of good offers for the land one
thlrd OF the tract is covered with timber
and Adam Patterson of Ogden, who in
sQected the proposition. said: Il have
seen the timber land in the northwest
along the Pacific, but I have never seen
anything in the United States to equal
The timber on the YeXtla tract"
The reason the timber has not been cut
IS that the land is far from the railroad
The terminus of the nearest railroad is at
balSas, thirty miles away. The trees are
OAK cedar and pine, and are of enormous
neight. Most of them are from three to
four feet in diameter at the base. The
land is from $3.50 to 700 feet above sca
level, is well watered. raises great crops

Russians Surprised.
The Japanese advanced before day
light on the Both and surprised
the Russian outposts who retired
leaving their kits, blankets and rifles
piled in their bivouacs. A short fight
followed with the Russian main posi-
ton. but the Russians soon retired
within the line OF permanent fortifca-
tions on the west and center, put held
on to Taku and Shonku mountains and
the hills close to the east coast.
The japanese line was now as close
10 the Russian line of forts as possible,
except on the east coast, where Tsku
and ShOnku mountains, strong strate-
gic points. were held by the Russians.
1t is evident that the Russians only
fought strong rear guard actions dur
ing the two months they have been
holding these positions, deciding to wait
until they could inflict more serious
loss on the Japanese and then to retire
in good order to their next natural po-
sitiOns.
Afraid of Thanking.
General Stoessel is evidently unwin-
ing to sacrifice his neil by holding
these positions. though they are strong
ones, and he is also evidently afraid of
being outflanked by q superior force.
The japanese successes were pur-
chased in the early, but they were
wonderful considering the tremendous
difficulties the Japanese encounter in
a country which is a series of natural
fortresses almost impregEable.
The Russian losses We're about 1,J00
while those Of the Japanese We're close
TO 5000.
1t is evident from their positions that
the japanese have shown great skill in
locating trenches and in placing guns.
The concentrated artillery fire OF the
Japanese was splendidly effective in
silencing the Russian guns, while the
infantry with machine and mountain
guns were enabled to climb almost i'm
possible heights and to engage the Rus
SLAMS hand TO hand.
1t is impossible to understand Cen
eraI StoesseFs determination to retake
Ken mountain. as the effort cost him
500 men, and as he could not have held
the place if he captured il, as 1t could
be easily out1anked.

Japanese Advance.
On the morning Of July IS the Japan
csc advanced and bombarded the Rus
sian positions on Anshu and Ojikai
mountains.
That night the japanese attack on
the Russian center was repuised with
heavy losses. The next morning the
attack was renewed ON Ojikei noun
tain under cover of a heavy and con-
centrared artillery fire. The advance
of the infantry was enormously difficult
as the mountain sides were almost
precipitOus.
The Russians remained in the trenches
until the last moment, anc were only
driven out by several bSyonet charges.
Many japanese were wounded. The
Jaranese were struck by loose stones
which were hurled at them by the Rus
slams above when they were climbing
the slopes.
There was also hard fighting on the
LEFT flank. where the positions were
very difficult 10 take. a body of Rus

The Japanese made a desperate effort

Desperate Struggle Still Going on at
Last Accounts.

ST Petersburg, oct 17.-Q:j5 p. M
Official reports received by the war Of
flee this morning say the battle was
resumed at daybreak today, that the
Russians still hold the right bank Of
the Shakhe river, that the pressure on
the Russian left has been relieved and
that the contest is continuing on the
right, where the Japanese are still
seeking to break through the Russian
center, evidently in order 10 get pos
session Of the railroad and cut off the
Russian army from Mukden.
Unofficial reports say that the Rus
slams had some successes at Shakhe
yesterday, where General Kuropatkin
again took the offensive.
While admitting that the Russian los
ses are very heavy, but not offering
figures, the general staff declares the
japanese reports of the Russian losses
are exaggerated, While their own are
minimiZed.

THAT rArAL LOCKED DOOR
Marshall Say. 1. Wa. Not for the Public
Inspected by Williams.

MorshAu Says 1t Was Not for the Public-
Inspected by Williams.
Marshall accepted responsibility for
placing the two gates across the stair
ways leading to the gallery. 1t was
done, he asserted, to comply with the
law and give the gallery separate
stairway Concerning the blind stair
way from the gallery. where n heavy
locked door shut OF escape for scores,
witness said 1t was not intended for
the use OF the public. @Yet 1t invited
them and they couldn't turn back. Six
ty were found dead there" comment
ed the deputy.
Architect Marshall was questioned
closely concerning the inspection by
Commissioner Williams and said that
with the owners Of the theater and
the head OF the building department
he had gone over the structure from
basement to top loft In the testimony
OF Building Commissioner Williams,
given a couple OF days ago, that Of
fetal testified that his last visit to the
theater was two weeks before the open-
ing, while Marshall said It was three
or four days before the opening, but
he said that this was only from
memory, as he made no note of 1t.
He declared that the audience ought
to have got out Of the theater in two
and half or three minutes. He said
the exit area from the upper balcony
was 100 per cent. greater than the
law required. while from the FIRST floor
the exit area was 100 per cent. great
er than necessary. He defended the
stairway plan Of the theater by saying
that the two iron gates were the very
things that made the stairways con-
form to the law, instead Of being in
violation of the building ordinances.
In other words, he said the gates
made two separate stairways. one lead
ing from the upper balcony and the
other from the first balcony The west
stairway was intended for the gallery
only, while the dress-circle audience
was expected to use the east stairs.
The architect praised the stairway sys-
tenn. saying that while the law re
Quired the stairs to be four feet six
inches wide. the Iroquois stairs were
eight feet six inches.
The flue over the stage was not built
in accordance with the law, and aisles
in front OF the boxes on the main floor
had been closed, but he argued that
both changes We're for the better. The
Iroauois gallery, in the opinion Of the
architect, is one of the shallowest in
the country. There are only ten rows
in 1t, and the average gallery runs
from fifteen to eighteen. Because
Messrs. Davis and Powers thought Il
would be little congested ten seats
were left out in the northeast corner.
Witness told of the advantagesof seats
instead of benches in the gallery. aud
that with rails the gallery could be
emptied quicker than without them.
He admitted that the flue over the
stage was not constructed according
to law, but excused this because there
was six times more vent area over the
stage than the law requires.
