La Grande-The new creamery at
Haines is now practically completed
and in running order, and is without
doubt one of the best equipped institu-
tions of its kind in Eastern Oregon.
The main building is 24x4O feet, and
built in substantial manner. A good
sized engine room adjoins the building
on the north side and refrigerator
ska feet is being constructed in one
corner for storing butter in warm
weather.
The capacity of this plant will be

day, but is not running at its full ca
pacity at present. The operation of
the plant is under the management of
E. D. Severance, and W. J. Harlow
has charge of the butter making. The
machinery is all up-to-date and they
have 10-horsepower boiler, a Victor
combined churn and worker with ca

Attempted to Rescue.

Toxic, March 16.-A supplementary
report has been received from Admiral
Togo, concerning the effort made by the
crews of the japanese torpedo boat de-
stroyers in action off Port Arthur on
the 10th inst, to rescue the crews of
the disabled Russian torpedo boat-de-
stroyers. Captain Shojiro Asia, COM
manding the fotilla of torpedo boat de-
stroyers, states that the Japanese would
have been able to rescue many more of
the enemy but for the deadly fire of the
shore batteries and the close approach
of the Russian cruiser Novik.

AID OF CHINA Is NOT WANTED.
Kaneko Says If She Enters War,
r1ust Be as Independent Nation.


San Francisco, March 15.-Baron M .
Kaneko, an ex-Japanese minister of ag-
riculture and commerce, and member
of the Japanese parliament, who has
arrived here en- route to Washington,
and the St. Louis exposition, said to-
day:
"I do not understand what you
Americans and Europeans mean when
you speak of the yellow peril. If you
believe that the Japanese intend to
unite with the other members of the
yellow race and overrun Europe and
America, you are very much mistaken.
l think it would be wiser to beware of
the Muscovite peril. It is much more
dangerous.
GAS regards the neutrality OF China,
we expect to take the same position as
outlined by Secretary Hay. The in
tegrity of China must be preserved at
all costs. We do not want her for our
ally, and if she enters the war, it must
be as an independent nation.
"Japan is prepared to fight this war
to finish without foreign Interrupt
tion. She is fighting to preserve the
peace of Asia and not for any ambit-
ious purposes.
'We are in this war to win and we
are prepared to remain in it as long as
Russia does. Our finances are in the
best of condition and we can always
issue special war tax if it should be-
come necessary"

To Manufacture Fruit Ladders.

Oregon City-A visitor from Colo
RADIO has called on the Oregon City
board of trade with proposal to in
stall in this city plant for the manu-
facture of fruit ladders, fruit presses
and other horticultural apparatus. The
local commercial organization has the
matter under consideration and will
strive to secure the industry for this
city. No bonus or other consideration

Russia, In Meantime, Expects Makaroff
to Fight Hard ON Sea.
Yinkow, March 16.-The local Rus
sian authorities are apparently in
censed and manifestly much annoyed
at the solicitous inquiries of the COM
manders of foreign gunboats regarding
the projected blocking of the Lao river
before the arrival of the Japanese,
which latter event is regarded as fore
gone conclusion. Although the block
ing of the Liao and also the defense of
the settlement and native town are re,
garded as unattainable, it is certain
that an uunimportant disposition of
guns and the arrangement of defense
plan have already been made. The ar
rival of General Kendravovitch, a few
days ago, however, arrested the ar
rangements and threatened to cause
the abandonment of the original inten-
tion.
The highest Russian opinion obtain
able at Port Arthur and Niu Chwang
admits the governments intention to
fall back indefinitely, until the mobil-
ization of 100000 torops ior the as
saulting and opposition of the Japan
ese, and probably 20O,O more to op-
pose the Chinese.
The same opinion asserts that Vice
Admiral Makaroff will fight hard. He
is determined TO weaken the enemy at
any cost, and make the operation of
the Baltic sea fleet in the Far East
feasible, though it may be necessary to
fight without the Pallada, Czarevitch
and Retvizan, which it is admitted
cannot be fully repaired within six
months. On account of the uncertain
ty of the success of the scheme of con-
structing dock in which to repair the
Czarevitch and Retvizan, naval experts
allow year for the work.

Kouropatkin Says the Powers Have
Agreed to Keep Britain's Hands Off.
Paris. March 16-The St. Peters
burg correspondent of the Echo de
Paris says that the czar's refusal, fol-
lowing General Kouropatkin's advice,
to permit Prince Louis Napoleon to go
to the Far East, is much commented
ON.
The correspondent says that six new
torpedo beats have been sent out of the
Newsky yards, and that ten others,
modelled after the French torpedo boat
Cyclone, are being completed, and
probably will be sent by railway to
Port Arthur.
In the course of his conversations in
the train, while travelling from Mos
COW. according to this correspondent,
General Kouropatkin repeated his de-
sire that peace should be signed only
in Toxic. The general said that
France, Germany and Austria have
agreed with Russia to prevent Great
Britain intervening with another Berlin
treaty, adding:
"We will never permit Great Brit
ain to interfere for the purpose of de-
priving us of the fruits of dearly
bought victory. Corea shall be Rug
sian."

$2S, S,OOO-Empire State Is Expected
to Make Fully as Liberal an Appro-
prlation as Massachusetts,.

Washington, March 16.-Massachu-
setts and New York are to be among
the foremost exhibitors at the Lewis
and Clark exposition next year. This
assurance has been given Special Com
missioner McIsaac, of Portland, who
appeared before the legislatures of
these two states and appealed to them
for liberal appropriations for transport
ing their St. Louis exhibits to Port
land next year. More than all other
Eastern states, these two have a direct
interest in the Pacific coast and Orient
al markets, and the members of both
legislatures readily realized the import
ance OF having complete exhibits at
Portland. By special message of the
governor the Massachusetts, legislature
has been called on to appropriate $685.
600 for making Bay State exhibit at
Portland, and after conference with the
leaders at Albany, Mr.. McIsaac expects
equally as large an appropriation for
the New York exhibit.
Mr.. McIsaac has been assured that
Rhode Island and New Jersey will be
duly represented at Portland. An ap-
preparation sufficient to transfer their
St. Louis exhibits will be made.
Tomorrow Mr.. McIsaacs will appear
before the Maryland legislature and
will then start west. He will be at
Columbus, Ohio, for week. From
that city he will.go to Kentucky, Iowa
and Mississippi. The Virginia legis-
lature, which has just adjourned,
adopted resolutions indorsing the expo
sition in strong terms.

Washington, March 15. - Speaker
Cannon is heartily in favor of the pas
sage of the Lewis and Clark exposition
bill, and will do everything in his
power to assist the measure through
the house. He so stated yesterday
to- Senator Mitchell, Senator Fulton
and Representative Williamson, who
called on him to discuss the prospects
of the measure, and to ask that ample
time be allowed for its consideration
on the floor of the house. The speak
er assured the, Oregon men that as
soon as the bill is reported by the COM
mittee on expositions he will take it
up with the house leaders, and he is
confident full opportunity will be given
Tor its consideration.
Following this conference, the sena-
tors and Representative Williamson
called on Chairman Tawney, repre-
senting the Republican membership of
the committee on expositions, and lat
er on Representative Bartlett, of
Georgia, the ranking Democratic MEM
Der, and from each of these gentlemen
received assurances which encourage
them in the belief that the amount the
committee will recommend for the ex-
position will be considerably more than
has been talked of since the bill has
been before the house committee.
To members of the delegation the
outlook for the passage of bill carry
ing liberal appropriation is now very
encouraging. In view of Speaker Can
mons attitude and the friendliness of
the house committee, it is believed
there will he no particular difficulty in
securing the final passage of the bill.

much longer each year. They offer
