STOCK OUTLOOK is BRIGHT.
Mild Winter In Malheur Has Enabled Cat
tie to Keep In Condition.

Ontario-Now that there is pros
pect for "break-up" in the weather,
stockmen are beginning to discuss
their prospects for 1904. The heavy
loss of stock last spring on account
of the weak condition of the animals,
occasioned by scarcity of hay and
feed. combined with the high price
paid for hay last fall and the low
price of stock caused gloomy fore
bodings as to the year 1904.
But the winter has been mild, al
lowing the stock to consume the nay
without waste. and to put on flesh
rapidly, so that when spring opens
they will be we'll prepared to pull
through the mud to do their feeding
on the new pastures. There will be
good reasons to expect large increase
with little loss.
The mildness and short duration OF
the winter weather will result in con-
siderable hay left unfed and to be
sold by the stockmen to other buyers.
With 1903 hay on hand the ranchers
will sell the new crop of hay at a
lower price than last fall. The cattle
men are expecting an advance in
prices. so that with all these condl-
tions in their favor the future is
much brighter than it was last fall

HAPPENINGS HERE In OREGON
GRASS IS GROWING IN GRANT.
Winter Has Been Very Mild-Miners Ex-
pect Early Clearing Off of Snow.

Canyon City-The cold storm that
prevailed so generally near the Pacific
section during the past week was
hardly perceptible here. Although
much snow has fallen it has been
mostly on rising temperature.
Grass is growing nicely on the pro-
tected slopes, and large number of
horses are still running on the range.
Some of these are thin, but many of
them are in good condition. All dan
ger of a serious feed shortage has
probably past, but stablemen and
others who must buy are compelled
to pay SIG per ton.
Grazing, farming and mining will
probably have one of the best. sea-
sons for a good many years. Old
miners say that there is now more
snow in the mountains than they ever
saw before at this season of the year.
In the nearby mountains it lies on
the ground at a depth of l " feet, and
on the higher ranges is four or five
feet deep. AS it is mostly loose it is
likely to melt early in the season, and
miners expect to be able to start
operations earlier than for several
seasons past.

IT CRIES TREASON
FRENCH PRESS CONTENDS JAPAN
BROKE INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Attack on the Russian Fleet Is Com.
pared to the Blowing Up OF the
Maine in havana harbor Russians
Admit That Their Hope for Victory
Lies in Land Forces.

Paris, Feb. 12.-As the-day wore on
great wave of popular sympathy for
Russia was brought out by the news of
the engagement off Port Arthur. The
newspapers without exception severely
arraigned Japan. The Temps, semi
official, said: /. .
"Japan's brutality in making a
night attack before declaration of war
is her second offense against the rules
of international law"
The Journal des Debats declares Jap
ans action was contrary to the accepted
rules of international law, giving prom
ise that japan proposes to conduct the
war without regard to modern usages
of warfare.
The Patrie gives sensational promi-
nence to its assertion that Japan COM
mitted an act of international treason,
compares the attack on the Russian
fleet off Port Arthur with the blowing
up of the Maine, and asserts that
Europe will hold Japan responsible for
this treason.
The authorities on international law
who were interviewed on the subject ex-
pressed the belief that Japan COM
mitted breach of international law.
Notwithstandin this bitterness, how
ever, universal recognition was given
to Japan's audacity, and it was evident
that Japan's naval prestige had been
materially increased.
The Associated Press was informed
by high Russian authority that now
Japan has begun war, the Russian gov
ernment, following the manifesto
which is expected to be issued in ST..
Petersburg at once, expects that the
various states will issue proclamations
of neutrality. In Russian diplomatic
circles the success of Japan literally
aroused the greatest regret. 1t was
frankly admitted that Russia expected
to be defeated upon the sea, but it was
added that she would certainly
conquer on land.

DIVISION OF STATE is ISSUE.
Washington Congressman All Agree thai
More Judges are Needed.

Washington congressmen All Agree that
More Judges are Needed.
Washington, Feb. 12.-The house
committee on judiciary today listened
to arguments by the three congressman
from Washington, in support of their
respective bills for dividing the state
into judicial districts. These mem
bers agreed on one thing only, that be-
cause of the immense amount of judic-
ial business coming before the federal
courts of Washington each year, it is
absolutely necessary that an additional
Judge be accorded the state, and that
this judge be provided with a specified
district.
Cushman advocated the creating of a
north and south district, the former to
include Seattle and Spokane, and the
latter Tacoma and Walla Walla.
Jones contended for an east and west
district, to be separated by the Cascade
mountains, while Humphrey was heard
in advocacy of a bill he introduced yes
terday creating one district of the
northwest quarter of the state, includ-
ing King county, and making the re-
mainder of the state a separate district.

EXPENDITURES WERE LESS.
The Secretary of State Hears From All
the County Clerks.

Salem Secretary of State Dunbar
has received the last of the annual
reports of County Clerks, showing the
expenditures of the several counties
for the year 1903, except for road pur
poses. The reports show that in the
state as a whole the expenses were
100000 less than for 1902, the de-
crease being due largely to the alb
sence of election expenses, the repeal
of the scalp bounty law, and a re-
ductiOn in miscellaneous expenses.
In 1902 Baker County's expenses
were swelled by reason of the ac-
quirment of the Panhandle country
from Union County. Morrow County
had an expense of SAT .634 in 1902 for
a new court house and has $4,000 ex-
nense on the same account in 1908.
In 1901 Wheeler County had an ex-
pense of $1,000 for new court
house

MONEY ON wAsHsTAND.ss--=
Witness in Benson Hy de Land Fraud
Case Makes Revelations.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The federal
grand jury in this city is listening to
testimony in the famous Benson-Hyde
land fraud cases, and from evidence
already submitted Secretary Hitch
cock is confident that a number of in
dictments will result.
One of the most important witness
es yet examined is clerk in the gen.
eral land office, who admitted he had
co-operated with Benson and had fur-
nished him with advance information
whenever the department was prepar-
ing to create forest reserves. This
clerks services were engaged by Ben
son, so it was testified, during one OF
Benson's visits to Washington. When
the two had reached an understand
ing the clerk was invited to call on
Benson at his hotel.
After a brief conversation Benson
asked his visitor if he would like to
wash his hands. Taking the hint, the
clerk stepped into the bathroom,
found a $1O0 bill on the washstand
and promptly appropriated it. He
testified that after subsequent visits
to Benson he found large sums of
money in his overcoat pocket, and at
other times when Benson was in San
Francisco he received money at diff
ferent times through the mails. No
letter accompanied the funds, which
were invariably inclosed in blank en-
velopes.
So great became the demands of
Benson for information that this
clerk found it necessary to employ a
confederate, and it is then believed
that Harlan, who was chief of the for
estry division at the time, was taken
into the scheme. Together these two
men, it is alleged, by utilizing a
cipher code furnished by Benson,
kept the San Francisco Office advised
whenever and wherever reserves
were to be created, and gave them
such other inside information as would
assist them in their operations.

SAVES STATE $4,000.
Result of Private investigation by State
Land Commissioner West.

SaIem-By conducting special in
yestigation on his own account. State
Land Agent Oswald West saved the
state some $4,000 last week. Last
spring the State Land Board sold
section of newly surveyed land at auc.
ton and the successful bidder offered
s14.25 per acre. The land was heaVl-
Iy timbered and was favorably locat-
ed. AS soon as the sale had Deen
made it became known that several
persons had filed homestead claims
Upon the land and claimed to nave
made settlements before the land
was surveyed. If they made actual
settlement before survey they couio
hold the land and the state would
lose it, being entitled to lieu land IN
stead. AS the land is valuable and
had been sold at a good price, Mr.
West undertook to establlsn tne
states title He made inquiry as 10
the persons who filed the homestead
entries and from what he learned OF
the occupation and place OF ABODE ne
had reason to doubt whether they
had made settlement at the time al
legged by them. He learned turther
that the men had been voting In Al
bany during the time they Claimed
residence back in the mountains.
With this information in his posses
sion he met the homesteaders with
the suggestion that they cease to as
sert a claim to the land. They de-
INJURED at first, but when West gave
them a hint of the evidence In ms
possession and backed this up by NJ
ing contests in the General Land VI
fee. they came forward with REIN
uuishments. thus leaving the state
with clear title to convey to the pur-
chasers at auction sale.
Mr.. Vests experience shows What
can very often be done in the way OF
overthrowing homestead entries maze
by SPECTATORS if some one interested
will take the trouble to investigate
the facts regarding the entry and the
term of residence.

WENT TO DEATH BRAVELY.
Russian Bands Played National Airs as
the chemuipo Battle Was Begun.

Nagasaki, Feb. 15.-The survivors
from the Variag and the Korietz, the
Russian cruisers that were sunk by
the Japanese fleet at Chemulpo last
Tuesday still remain on board the
British cruiser Talbot, lne Italian
cruiser Elba and the French cruiser
Pascal,
The situation is becoming acute, as
the Japanese have twice made de-
mands on the commanders of the
three foreign vessels that the Rus
slams be surrendered as prisoners of
war. The captain of the Talbot, be-
ing the senior naval officer, each time
replied that he was awaiting instruc-
tions from his government.
None of the Russians are on board
the American gunboat Vicksburg,
whose commander considers that the
japanese are right in their demand,
as the Russians took advantage of
the clemency of the Japanese in re-
turning to the harbor, then taking
refuge on the foreign vessels and re-
fusing to surrender, whereas the jap
anese fleet refrained from sinking
them in the open sea, as it could have
done.
A magnificent episode in the battle
was the second sortie of the two
Russian cruisers. With bands play
ing the national anthem the interna-
tional fleet loudly cheering the brav-
cry and gallantry of the Russians, the
Variag and Korietz faced the Japan
ese fleet in what was certain death
The position of the wrecks appears
to be such that it will be easy to re-
cover the guns. The Russian losses
were one officer and 40 men killed
and 464 wounded.

ENGINEER FAILS TO STOP.
Fourteen Lives are Lost in Head-On Col
Hsion Following.

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 12.-Fourteen
persons were killed, and more than a
score injured, in a collision between
two passenger trains on the Canadian
Pacific, near Sand Point today.
The trains in collision were the east
bound and west bound $500" specials
Both trains were under orders to stop
at Sand Point, and pass there. An
official statement given out by the Ca
madam Pacific places the responsibility
for the wreck upon the crew of the
west bound train. Conductor Nidd, of
that train, this evening admitted that
his engineer had orders to stop at Sand
Point, but failed to obey them. Ten of
the killed were passengers
