FIRE IN WHEAT FIELDS.
Grain Is Destroyed on Two Farms
Near Adams.

Pendleton-The first serious wheat
tire this summer visited the farm Of
Lowell Rogers, near Adams, last week,
causing a loss Of nearly 1880. Five
hundred sacks Of grain, wagon and
40 tons Of hay were destroyed. One
horse was SO badly burned that II died.
The harvest crew was some distance
away when the fire started. Two little
daughters of George Rogers were sent
after the men, and narrowly escaped
being burned'to death in the burning
gtain. BY hard work the crew finally
extinguished the fire.
The fist Of the week fire again Wis.
tied Rogers place and before it could
be extinguished over 1000 sacks Of
wheat were destroyed and about 70
acres of standing grain burned. The
grain and straw being very dry. the FIRE
spread rapidly into an adjoining field
owned by Louis 0dette. Odette lost 80
acres OF gain before the fire could be
gotten under control. Mr.. Rogers es-
Inmates his loss at 7 1000 or more BUSH
els. a number OF farming implements
and harvest supplies were also lost.
His loss will exceed $4,000. He had
small insurance. Mr.. Odette's loss is
to be 81 500.

HoLD-Up THAT FAILS.
Rock island Is Boarded by Seven
Masked Men,

FL Paso, Aug. S.--The Rock Island
passenger train, which left Ell PasC
Saturday morning, north.bound, was
held up Saturday night at II clock al
Logan, N. NJ, station 80 miles north
OF Tucumcari and 80 miles north Of
Santa Rosa, the division point. Seven
masked robbers BOARDED the train lust
as 1t was leaving Logan, uncoupled the
baggage and express cars and went on
with the engine.
Conductor John York resisted and
was shot in the leg. The engine was
run ahead a short distance, when 1t was
stopped and dynamite applied. The
small safe was placed on top of tn,
large one and then the charge waf
fired, but the only effect was to blow
the small safe through the roof of the
car, the larger one not being injured.
The smaller safe was replaced and
the second charge of dynamite put be-
tween the two safes with the same re.
suit, except that the small safe this
time was blown through the side of the
car. The robbers then mounted their
horses and rode away in the darkness.
Officers were advised this morning of
the hold-up and are on the trail of the
men who are believed to be the evans
gang"
The passengers were not molested
by the robbers, and many did not know
the robbery was in progress, as most
Of them were asleep. Owing to the re-
moteness of Logan, the details of the
hold-up were not obtained until to
night, when a south-bound Rock Island
passenger train arrived here.
The Wells Fargo officials say there
vas only 81 in the safe when it left
lere.

st. Petersburg, Aug "A report
from an apparently reliable source late
last night was to the effect that General
Kuropatkin's main force had been rap
idly moving north for seyeal days.
According to this report no troops
proceeding to the front from Russia had
gone past Harbin in the past three
days. They will be detained there and
every available piece Of rolling stock
will be rushed south empty for the re-
moving of troops to Lao Yang and
other points to the northward, leaving
a skeleton force to contest the Japan
ese advance on vital positions.
If it is true, as pointed out in the
foregoing, it leaves the Russian forces
in an exceeding serious position.
Lacking definite information, and if
the Russian information has not been
broken by the capture Of Simoucheng,
the authorities here say that if Kuro-
patkin accepts a general engagement
they believe it will occur near Anschan-
shan, half way between Haicheng and
Lao Yang, in which case the Haicheng
force will fall back on the Simoucheng
force under General Mitschensko, on
the northward road to Yanzalin, which
is already fortified, with view to such
a contingency.
Yanzalin would then become the
advanced position for Anschantschan,
the natural strength Of which is shown
by the fact that it was the only posi-
tion the Chinese successfully defended
against the Japanese. 1t is possible
that If Simoucheng is evacuated it may
be in pursuance Of the above plan and
it is also possible in this case that
General Stakelbefg may get away
north, but in any case his retreat with
General 0ku hanging to ha lear must
be difficult operation, even with the
railway to help him.

TALE ONLY HALF TOLD.
No Account Yet of the Battle That
Took Place August 2.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 4.-Allowing
for the inevitable conflict in names, the
japanese and Russian reports seem to
agree on the main points of the mill
tary developments up to August l, but
both stop short at their interesting
point, namely, regarding what happen
ed on August 2, when it is possible
that decisive struggle was going on
east and south Of Lao Yang.
The usual crowds were assembled
around the bulletin boards outside the
office of the general staff until long
after midnight awaiting further official
details, but nothing was given out be-
yond General Kuropatkin's two official
dispatches. 1t is evident from these
dispatches and the japanese reports
that the Russians abandoned Yangse
Pass, falling back on Liandinsin, a
strong defensive position in the hills
"a miles southeast of Lao Yang.
General Kuropatkin admits that
there were heavy losses along the
Saimtsze-Liao Yang road July 81.
The official account is somewhat incon.
elusive, but indicates that although
the Russians withdrew from their ad-
vanced posts Kuropatkin hoped to be
able to hold his main posistions even
in the face of the superior Japanese
force and that he evidently expected
heavy fighting along this line, probably
about Anping. This battle possibly
was proceeding August 2, although
the dispatches report that all was
quiet up to noon of August l.
In the meantime a serious envelop-
ing movement of the japanese divis-
ions was maturing around the Russian
left at Haicheng where there was also
heavy fighting July 81.
No news has cen received from Port
Arthur.

OuipOStS are Endaaed.

With the japanese army in Man
churia. at the headquarters OF General
Kuioki, July 20, via Antung and Sc.
oul, Aug. 1.-The conditions on the
right remain practically unchanged,
although numerous engagements be.
tween the outposts of the two armies are
OF constant occurrence. There has been
severe fighting in the center, although
no details have as yet reached here.
The Russians are strongly entrenching
their secondary position five miles west
Of Lao Yang and are expected to make
a stand there.

Smaller Loggers Lose Heavily.

Astoria-The failure OF the usual
freshets last winter entailed consider
able loss to the smaller loggers operat-
ing in this vicinity. 1t is estimated
that there are at the present time over
10000, 900 feet Of logs above tide water
in the Lewis and Clark river. These
logs were cut last fall and winter, but
there was not sufficient water in the
stream to float the n down. They are
valued at fully $40, 900.

Government VIII Run Hatchery,

Oregon City-Fhe Upper Clackamas
hatchery, located about go miles up
the Clackamas river from this city, has
been turned oven to the government for
operation, having been conducted for a
number of years as state enterprise.
The Clackamas hatchery Is considered
bv fish culturists to be the best hatch
cry in the state, not because of its
equipment and location, which are
ideal, but because of the quality Of the
Chinook fish that are propagated there.
The employees now at this hatchery
will be continued this season.

PATENT FOR LIEU LAND.
Received by the State In Accordance
With Recent Act of Congress-.

Salem-The state land board has re-
Ceived patent from the United States
government conveying to the state 49,
600 acres OF lieu land in accordance with
the act passed by the last session of
congress. This land was selected
upon Klamath reserve base, made
available by the readjustment of the
boundaries of the reserve. The selec,
tions were made in 1901, but there was
some question in the department as to
whether the state was entitled to use
school sections within the new boun.
daries as base. The question was set
tied in April last by the passage Of an
act of congress directing that the
states selections be allowed and the
issuance of the patent is the formal
compliance with that act. The state
sold the lieu land as soon as it was Sc.
lected, in 1901, at $3.50 per acre., the
legal price at that time.

RUSSIA RECEIVES INVITATION.
Will Decline to Participate in Peace
Conference.

Conference.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 9.-Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff has, received,
through Charge d:Affaires Eddy, the
American proposal for a second peace
conference at The Hague to proceed
with the work begun in 1899, especially
relating to the rights and duties of
neutrals and other questions, like the
commandment of undefended coast
towns, left undecided by the former
conference. The note, it is understood,
took pains to avoid the appearance of
desiring to wound the susceptibilities
of Russia, the action of the United
States having been prompted by the
initiative Of the St. Louis peace con-
gress. No response has yet been made,
but there is strong reason to believe
that although Russia cannot show
offense at the proposition from the
United States at this time, inasmuch
as the United States was actually at
war with Spain when Emperor Mich
olas proposed the original conference,
Russia will decline to participate so
long as the war lasts. At the foreign
office the opinion has been that con.
ference after the war would be profit
able, enabling the powers to agree
upon many vexed problems, but that it
is impossible for Russia to participate
during the war in a conference whose
tendencies will be to limit the activity
of belligerents and in which questions
with a bearing on part Of the struggle
are sure to come up for discussion

RUSSIANS NEED OFFICERS.
About 1900 Killed and More Are Being
Modified,

ST. Petersburg, Nov. 9.-The neces-
sity for officers for service at the front
has resulted in, the mobilization Of all
reserve of1cers}in st. Petersburg, Vii
ma, Warsaw, Kieff, Odessa, Moscow,
KaZan and the Caucasus. The loss Of
officers at Liaoyang and below Muk-
den was about 1900. The mobilization,
while intended to supply the de.
aciency, is also necessitated by the
grand scale on which the war In the
Far East is to be prosecuted.
The news from the front indicates
that General Kuropatkin Is devoting
his attention chiefly to keeping the
Japanese busy along the line of their
Notifications below the Shakhe river.
The Russians apparently are enjoy
ing some superiority In the matter Of
artillery, as many of the heavier field
trains and mortar batteries are now
arriving and being brought into serv.
