RUSSIA IN NEED OF MONEY.

Issue of $500, ,000, 900 Five Per Cent
Bonds VIII Soon Be Made.
London, April 20.-Reports are again
in circulation here of Russia's need to
raise money. When the war broke out
the gold held abroad by the Bank of
Russia amounted to $s7, 500, 900. OF
this amount $50 ,O00, 200 has been ex-
pended and therefore, according to
these reports, it would soon be neces-
sary to have recourse to the gold held
in the treasury. According to tele-
gram from Brussels printed this morn
ing the outcome of the ways and means
conference at St. Petersburg will be the
issue of 5000, 100000 in 5 per cent
treasury bonds in Paris, Brussels and
Amsterdam.
Vice Admiral Togo's report is ac-
cepted here as fully explaining the mys-
terry of the destruction of the battleship
Petropavlovsk and the newspapers pay
warm tribute to the daring and skill
displayed by the japanese, contrasting
these with the apparent lack of fore
sight and vigilence on the part of the
Russians. War correspondents arriv-
ing at Ping Yang report that the roads
are in terrible condition, but that the
Japanese troops in marching display
splendid endurance.
The Daily Nails Ping Yang cores

Grand Ronde Drive Starts.

La Grande-The logs on the Grand
Ronde river at Perry have begun to
move. The monster drive has started
from the headwaters of the stream to
ward the mills at Perry. The Grand
Ronde Lumber company will drive
about 100000 feet of logs this
spring. 1t will become necessary to
build railroads to the vast belts of pine
lying on the head of the Grand Ronde
river and Meadow creek, as it will be
too costly and tedious to haul the logs
to the river and depend on the annual
drive to supply the mills.

MAY CUT OPP PORT ARTHUR.
Superiority of Fleet Gives the japanese
an Excellent Opportunity.

Superiority of Fleet Gives the Japanese
an Excellent Opportunity.
St. Petersburg, April 20.-St. Peters
burg is flooded with rumors from all
directions regald ding the plans of the
Japanese, now that the Russian feet at
Port Arthur is unable longer to menace
their troop transports.
The Associated Press in dispatch
from Port Arthur gave 20 as the num-
ber of Japanese transports reported as
having been seen steaming in the direc-
tion of Yinkow, the seaport of Niu
Chwang. Officials of the general staff,
while having no information in this re.
spect. would not be surprised if the
number should turn out to be correct,
or even that larger number is steam
ing there.
Vice Admiral Togo's immense super
iority enables him to hold the Russian
squadron in Port Arthur and Japanese
transports, therefore, can safely pass
through the straits of Pechili and
attempt to land at the head of the Lao
Tung gulf, under the guns of the war
ships, as did General Skaters army at
Diaquiri, Cuba. Should this succeed,
the Japanese will be in an excellent
position to execute flank movement
on Liao Yang, or cut off Port Arthur.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
GOOD WEATHER FOR SHEEP.
Eastern Oregon Wool VIII Be of Better.
Cleaner Quality.

Eastern Oregon Wool VIII Be of Better.
Cleaner Quality.
"a Grande-The sheepmen of Eastern
Oregon say that the late spring, which
is 80 days behind time, will have a
splendid effect upon all of the flocks of
Eastern Oregon, and the great supply
of water now pouring down the hills on
every side will insure good pasturage
way into the summer, and yearlings
this summer will be sti onger and fatter
and bring better prices than ever before.
Lambing is now at its height, and
the increase in the focks promises to
be very large. Wool this year will be
of much finer quality and cleaner than
last year because the sheep will not
have to run in dust so long before
shearing time, which in this part of
Eastern Oregon will be about May 20,
and the sheepmen throughout the coun-
try seem very jubilant.
Wool from last year g crop in Eastern
Oregon has been sold in Philadelphia
within the past week for II cents, and
this is good indication that prices
this year will 60 high.

STOCK LOSSES REDUCED.
Warmer Weather Averted the Dangers
Threatening the Herds.

"dr"eT ~edtueT AverIeQ the hangers
Threatening the Herds.
Pendleton-Stock reports from south
ern Umatilla and Grant counties show
conditions much improved since the
heavy snowstorm of two weeks ago, and
stock losses, which threatened for a
short time to materially thin out the
herds, have been to great degree
averted. In valleys, where it was pos
sible, range stock was gotten out to
where grass could be found, while
enough feed was on hand for domestic
cattle.
In valleys where stock could not be-
gotten out to better locations, cattle
and sheep went OH short rations for
some time, but escaped after nominal
loss. as warmer weather came. Nights
were not severe after the storm, con-
dition which also greatly helped. Sew
eral thousand head of sheep and cattle
perished, but the loss was probably not
over one or two per cent above nominal.

AMERICA CAN HARDLY ACT NOW.
Precedent Against Intervention for Wire
less Telegraph Company.

Precedent Against Intervention for Wire
less Telegraph Company.
Washington, April 19.-One of the
principal wireless telegraph companies
has filed at the state department an
energetic protest against the decree of
Admiral Alexieff that newspaper cor
respondents in the Far East during the
war shall be treated as spies. The
state department has taken the protest
under consideration, but following the
almost unbroken practice it probably
will decline to take any action on a
hypothetical case. If an American cit
izen is arrested by the Russian officials
the state department Immediately will
lay down a line of policy to meet this
novel departure in international law.
1t is realized that newspaper cores
pondents using wireless telegraphy in
the neighborhood of naval operations
might unwittingly give information OF
great value to the enemy, whose ves-
sells, being also equipped with wireless
telegrahy, might readily take up mes
sages sent to shore station.
The state department is loath to es-
tablish precedent by protest that
might hereafter embarrass our own
naval commanders. The matter is
said by distinguished military officer
here to emphasize the pressing need for
an international agreement fixing the
exact status of newspaper correspond
ents in case of war.

Seoul, April 20.-A dispatch from
Ping Yang, under yesterdays date, re-
ceived here at o'clock this morning,
says the conutry in the wake of the
Japanese army is resuming its normal
condition. The majority of the in
habitants left their homes before the
troops arrived, but are now returning.
They have learned that the japanese
soldiers treat the people well, paying
for their supplies, and are under
strict discipline.

Canal Papers All Drawn Up.

Paris, April 19.-All the papers nee
essary for the transfer of the Panama
canal to the United States are now COM
pleted. They include inventories and
schedules of the property belonging to
the company in Panama, here and else
where. These have been carefully gone
over and checked by W. A. Day and
Charles w. Russell, the assistant attor-
ney generals who came from Washing
ton to assist in the transfer of the prop
erty and the officers of the company.
The most important paper is the con-
tract for the sales.

Influx OF Chinese:

Victoria. B. c., April 2O.-One hun
dred and twelve Chinese are coming on
the Canadian Pacific steamer Empress
of China for this port, according to
special cable dispatches to the head
quarters of the company. As each
Chinese has to pay $500 head tax, the
officials here are puzzled to know what
it means. It is surmised that the En-
press crew of Chinese may be wanted
ashore, but the officials have no reason
for such q step.

the Russian fleet to leave Port Arthur
before the arrival of Vice Admiral
Skrydloff. 1t is the opinion in high
naval circles that it will not be neces-
sary to dispatch the Baltic squadron to
the Far East, as the army, it is be-
lieved, will be able to cope with the
Japanese forces.

Japan VIII Have Submarine Boats

London, April 19.-While it is au-

have no submarine navy at the present
time. and therefore it is impossible that
the Russian battleship- Petropavlovsk

class, it is understood that the Japan
ese arsenals and navy yards are working
overtime on two or more submarine
boats, which will be ready before the
Russian Baltic squadron reaches the
Far East.

As it was, it is said 200 or 800 head,
principally old cattle or those in poorer
