fore the wind.
The formidable forstress of Bayan-
tun, strongly garrisoned and armed
with five big Krupp guns and other
artillery, stood in his way. Most
commanders would have sat down to
besege it in a leisurely fashion, ac-
cording to the approved theories of
war. Not so Sakharoff. AS soon as
he saw the place he ordered an extra,
ration of vodka to be served to his
men, battered away at the mud walls
with his artillery for half an hour,
and then personally led his men in a
desperate charge through the breach.
The Krupp guns were taken, the gun
ners slain and within an hour Bayan-
tun had been captured.
Captured Fortress After Fortress.
Not waiting even a day Sakharoff
marched on and reached the next for
titled place-San- Sin-almost as soon
as the refugees from Bayan-tun did.
He treated that fortress in the same
fashion, and then marched on, almost
unopposed, until he reached Hardin.

hour as the advance guard of Gen.
Chicagoff's Ussuri army, which had
been marching from the east. There
was a hot race between the five di-
visions to see which could relieve
Hardin. Sakharoff and Chicagoff
came in first, a dead heat; and the
other three were only a few days be-
hind.
Gen. Chicagoff is a pure blooded Co.'S

most entirely of the Kubanski Cos
sacks, with whom Gen. Grodekoff
had garrisoned the Ussuri province

the truth of the theory they had al

become source of danger to their
Asiatic possessions until she trans
formed herself as Japan has done. It
fully justified the boast of a famous
Cossack general that he could take
Pekin and conquer the entire Chinese
empire with $4,000 Cossacks at his
back.

FREE FROM DUST.


Highways Rendered DustIe.. In
France by Use of Tar.
A recent official report OF the depart
ment Of bridges aud roads in France
shows the continuance OF the good re
suits obtained In rendering roads free
from dust by coating the surface with
tar.
The engineer for the Seine and Marne
departments reports that after an un.
successful trial OF mixture OF oil
and petroleum coating OF tar was in
the summer OF 1902 laid down on seven
different lengths Of road. After care
fully observing these during period
OF twelve months he finds that dust
ana mud have wholly disappeared, and
the cost OF maintenance of the roads
has been considerably reduced.
Further comparing the previous out
lay on the roads with that or those
with nrred surface, he says: "It ap.
pears that the tnrrlng method requires
no greater outlay and nt the same time
very considerably improves the condl.
tion OF the roadway. In la Cher two
lengths Of the Chausce Rationale were
coated with tar In June and August Of
1902.
Both these experiments have been
entirely successful, the road now being
covered with an elastic skin, while the
sound OF foot passengers tread IL muf.
fed, ana horses ana draft oxen require
only onehulf the effort they put forth
before. The noise and vibration caused
by yohlcular traffic are much reduced,
nnd neither dust nor mud Is formed ON
the tarred surface"

these excursions will leave Portland
June 9TH, and the second June 18th.
The rate from Grants Pass will be

cursiOnists going via the Denver &

Employment of Prisoners on a Texas
County's Hfghways

There seems to be no reason why
states, counties or cities should sup
port in idleness those who have broken
the law, and especially those who are
serving but short term In some minor
Institution, says the Municipal Journal
and Engineer, Organized labor has
made strenuous efforts TO prevent the
employment OF convlcts in the manu-.
facture of goods that will compete
with free labor, but there is a way by
which convicts may be employed to
advantage and at the same time not
compete with free laborers. The man
who is serving a term OF month or
year is a different proposition from
one who is sent to the state penlten-
tiary for long term.
Dallas county, Tex, has been using
these short term men on its roads, and
they are returning TO the county more

OF the legislature in 1895 authorized

A Society Organized to Plant Trees

The Chicago Tree Planting society
was organized recently to plant trees
In the streets of Chicago. With the
election Of officers It was announced
that one OF the first works the society
would undertake would be fight on
the gas and smoke nuisance, to be
urged along new lines.
Then will come the planting OF trees
In the slum districts, the distribution
OF literature that will educate the pe0
pie In tree planting and the starting OF
a movement to have the care and some
times the planting Of trees In streets
placed I'm the hands Of the park boa rds
Chicago has practically LOO miles

tion, "and the planting Of trees In them
Is an immense task. Gas and smoke
are the greatest enemies OF tree growth
we have. one OF our first duties will
be TO get after the smoke nuisance
from n new angle"
Many thousand pamphlets telling the
kinds Of trees that will grow here and
how to care for them, as we'll as urging
their planting, are to be circulated in
an effort TO get people TO plant trees
In front OF their homes. Officers OF
Improvement associations are to be
asked to cooperate with the society In
the tree planting plans, and residents

unite In their tree planting efforts so
as to secure uniformity. Citizens are
