A Successful Session.

A successful session! This ex-
clsmation in reference to the Teach
el's Summer school just closed, is the
verdict of students who realize their
own benefit; of towns-people and
visitors who watched with interest
the unusually Jealous spirit of teach
er-students in attendance; and of the
instructors, whose constant interest
gave them an insight into the real
purpose Of the student.
The report, as submitted by Prof.
Allen, within itself, shows fully the
marked success in every branch and
particular.
1t is found from that report that
though the school opened in every
trying time-:he hot days Of June
the enrolment reached 40. OF this
number there was an average attend
ance of 81 six days in the week.
Twenty of these attended every day
after entrance. There were only Is
tardy marks against total enrolment
during the session. This happened
in spite of the three weeks inclement
Weather, which was another trying
ordeal for even earnest and deter
mined teachers. Another source OF
qualification, especially to the in
structors, was that an average OF 10
hours daily was spent on studies;
which shows the merry making sea-
son was laid aside for the time being.
One of the greatest sources of ic-
spiration to the student was the
constant visits of interested sympa-
thising friends, many Of whom max
ing inspiring, practical and uplifting
speeches. OF these, one, Prof. Pat
terson Wardlaw, Of South Carolina
College, should be especially mention
ed. He gave q public address on
The Use of Libraries" containing
many practical suggestions, besides,
he spent much time with the school
at the Institute building. For all of
these valued services the school 7ot-
ed q unanimous vote of thanks.
Thursday and Friday of the last
week of school was the time set for
examinations. Thursday the classes
were examined IN the following sub
iecte: Rhetoric, Literature and
History. Friday they were examined
in the remaining subjects, Algebra,
Geography and Pedagogy. Oftbose

FLEET SHUT OUT.
Russian Ships Cannot Return tc
Vladivostok.

London, March 9.-The Japanese
legation here has received no official
information regarding the lombard
ment of Vladivostok. 1t is believed at
the legation, however, that the Jap
anese are now between the Russian
Cruiser squadron and Vladivostok
and there is reason to believe that the
Russian squadron is in the vicinity OF
Possiet Bay.
Russian official dispatches do not
mention this squadron, and this fact
lends color to the belief that the Jap
anese warships have shut it out of
Vladivostok. It is pointed out at the
Legation that If this is true, the Rus
sian vessels are in critical position,
since they must run the gauntlet of
the Japanese squadron off Vladivos-
tok or the Japanese squadron off Port
Arthur, before reaching a Russion
port
In dispatch from St. Petersburg
a correspondent of the Standard gives
a rumor that the Gear has received a
telegram to the effect that the Japan
ese feet bombarded Vladivostok all
day Monday. According to this rum
or only trivial damage was inflicted to
fhn RnC0ionu httf tuyn To
ese cruisers were sunk
There is much curiosity here con-
corning the resisting power of Vlad-
lvostok, which has been long regard
ed as the Gibraltar of the Fer East.
Vladivostok Is known to be better
equipped as naval base, and to have
greater docking and repairing re-
sources than Port Arthur, but doubts
are expressed as to the character of
its defenses. Russia has been settled
there for 40 years, and it is conse-
quently considered probable that the
defenses and guns at this place are of
a somewhat obsolete character.
1t is understood that during the
past few years all the available new
guns and war material which it was
possible to send over the single-line
Trans-Siberian railroad have been
used for the strengthening of Port
Arthur and points in ManchuTia, leav-
ing Vladivostok with old-type guns of
short range. 1t is reported that Vlad-
ivostob Is ill-supplied with provisions
and necessaries.
Dispatches from Toxic published
this morning speak of the sacrifices
being made by the Japanese nation.
According to the Daily Chronicles
correspondent at Toxic, the Mikado
is abandoning all luxuries, the court
following his example, and all are 60
ing to live abstemiously until the war
is ended.

ALL EYES ON 1T.
Russian Vladivostok Squadron Must
Soon Be Located.

Toxic, March 10-It is believed
here that there has already been a
decisive naval engagement in the
vicinity of Vladivostok, and details OF
it are anxiously awaited The Japan
ese feet did not, it is said go to Vlad-
ivostok for the purpose of lombard
ing the town, but to locate and at
tack the Russian feet stationed there.
It Is understood here that when the
Japanese fleet arrived there on Sun
day last, it found the Russian squad
ron absent. If this is true, it gave
the Japanese squadron advantage in
the way of avoiding battle close to the
inshore batteries, at the same time
putting it in a position to prevent the
Russian ships re-entering the harbor
It is doubted that the Japanese with
drew their entire squadron unless the
location of the enemy had been dis
covered, as it meant surrendering the
advantage of being in a position be-
tween the enemy and the enemy's
base.
There is a strong possibility that
the Japanese found the Russian ships
in the vicinity of Possiet Bay, and
gave them battle there. The names
and numbers of ships in the japanese
squadron have been kept secret, but
it was probably sufficiently strong to
divide into two divisions, the one to
guard Vladivostok, and the other to
cruise in search of the Russian ships.
The navy department expects to
receive dispatches tomorrow from
Gen San, where it has planned the
feet would call after the operation in
an attack upon the Russian
SQUADRON had been concluded

CHANGE is URGED
COMMISSION ASKS REPEAL OF TIM,
BET AND STONE ACT.
Forests Should Be Sold at Values Flxt d
by Appralsers-change Homestead
Law Richards, PlnchOtt and Newell
Advocate Restriction of Commuta-
tlon Clause.

Washington, March 9.-The com.
mission appointed by the President on
October 22, 1903, consisting of w. A.
Richards, commissioner of the gener-
al land office; Clifford Pinchot, chief
forester of the department of agri-
culture, and F. H. Newell, chief en-
gineer of the reclamation service, to
make suggestions regarding revision
of the laws relating to public lands,
has made to the president a partial
report which was sent to congress to.
day. 1t recommends the repeal of the
timber and stone act, and the substi-
tuition of suitable provisions for sell
ing, after appraisal, the timber on
public lands that is needed in large or
small quantities for industrial pur.
poses.
The committee also recommends
the repeal of the law permitting as
signment of entries un0er the desert
land law, and urges the importance of
more careful administration of law
especially as to those provisions re-
lating to obtaining an adequate per-
manent water supply
1t advocates the restricting Of the
commutation clause of the homestead
entry where such entries are located
within forest reserves or where the
land is chiefly valuable for timber. 1t
suggests the outlines for a law permit
ting homestead entries upon agricul.
tural lands within forest reserves and
the survey and description of such ag-
ricultural lands by metes and bounds
rather than by the regular system,
thus permitting the agricultural lands
to be selected along the valleys and
t. embrace the good tillable land with
out taking in extensive tracts of side
hill.
The recommendation also is made
that when lands are restored to entry
after temporary segregation ample
time should be allowed homesteaders
to exercise their rights, giving them
the preference over persons who may
wish to select the land by the use of
scrip or other form of entry.

DAMAGED BY SHELL FIRE.
Japanese Make Impression on Batter
les at Port Arthur.

Niu Chwang, March 9.-New arriv-
ais from Port Arthur confirm the ru-
mors in circulation here last week that
the westerly batteries have been bad
ly damaged by the Japanese shell
fire. Desultory bombardments contin-
ue, but there has been an absence of
concerted action on the part of the
Japanese warships for couple of
days. All Of the civilian popuation has
been expelled from the town.
A heavily-laden train was derailed
near the town Saturday, but it is not
known how much damage was done.
The wreck was caused by an obstruc-
tion being placed en- the track by Jap
anese agents.
There has been no recent damage to
the Russian squadron at the hands of
Japanese, the cruiser Askold has been
floated, and Expert Gilchrist now de-
clares that he can save the battleship
Retvizan. The attempt to repair the
drydock so that it would accommodate
the battleship Czarevitch has been
abandoned, and she will remain in a
disabled condition until the close of
the war, or until she can be sent to
Vladivostok, where the drydock is
large enough to accommodate her.
Niu Chwang is now occupied by a
small detachment of Cossack cavalry.

POWER FROM MORGAN LAKE.
La Grande May Soon Have Suburban
Electric Lines.

La Grande.-Morgan Lake, situated
about two miles above La Grande, has
been thoroughly tested as to the
amount of power and water that can
be obtained from it, The power will
be used for different important things
for the benefit of La Grande and the
community More power will be used
for the electric light plant and to run
a motor line to Hot Lake and other
points in the county.
The engineer reported to the officials
of the electric light company that
their plan was entirely feasible and
practicable. The plans call for a frac.
tion over two miles of pipe and the
power obtained through the pipe will
be equal to 500 horsepower. The res
ervoir when filled will contain water
sufficient to furnish this AMOUNT of
power for period Of one year, with.
out receiving any additional supply
In other words, when the lake is filled
1t will contain enough water to sup
ply water for 500-hOrsepower. The
lake is situated 100 feet above the
power station, which according to the
plans of the engineer, will be located
near the site of the Old Town Touring
mill.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
KNOW TIMBER BUSINESS.
Many Men Coming From Middle
Western States.

There is indication of large immi
grafton to Oregon this spring from the
Middle Western States, of nature
that will be very important in the
development of the timber resources
of the safe. c. H. Stewart of Albany
one of a number of people interested
in timber claims, the applications for
which were suspended because en-
tered in the wrong district, has been
corresponding with the holders of sus-
pended claims, with a view to con-
eerted action in the matter Of getting
their applications reinstated.
A number of people in the Middle
Western States are included in the
list of holders of suspended applica-
tions, These people have been com
municated with by Mr.. Stewart, and
great many of them have written
letters to the effect that they will be
here this spring to assist in looking
the matter up.
During the course of the cores
pondence letters have come from lum-
bermen in Wisconsin, Michigan, Min
nesota, and the two Dakotas to the
effect that they will remove to Ore
gon to reside and invest their means
in timber and the necessary mills to
put it on the market. This will be
done both because of the great op-
portunities offered in Oregon, and be-
cause of the rigorous weather that
has prevailed in their home states
during the present winter.
They are all substantial men who
have had experience in the lumber
business, and have been on the ground
in Oregon, and are conversant with
the conditions here. They will come
here seeking new field for opera
tions, where there are abundant re-
sources and a climate in which life
can be enjoyed and work continued
the year round.

will continue to fall for "a hours. The
gorges above and below Harrisburg
are still intact and there has been no
movement in the Susquehanna river
since the break of yesterday and in the
gorge at High Spire. The conditions
in the flooded district show an i'm
provement over yesterday and unless
there is a sudden rise in the river, it is

Russia to Have Large Force

Paris, March 10.-The St Peters
burg correspondent of the Figaro has
sent an interview with General SAX
haroff, minister of war. who, while re-
fusing to give the number of men con-
centrated in the Far East, said the
military authorities were well pleas
ed. There was no lack of troops, he
said, but the means of transportation
beyond Lake Baikal were inadequate,
and he was about to send 120 loco
motives and 1000 cars beyond the
lake in order to move the troops more
rapidly General Sakharoff declared
that the number Of troops to go to
Manchuria had not yet been fixed.

WAR COST NOT A DEAD LOSS.
Russia Figures That Most Of the
Money viii Go to Her People.


Paris, March "a st. Petersburg
dispatch gives an interview with M
Kokovzev, to whom has been intrusted
the raising of funds required for the
conducting of the war.
Even on the most unfavorable hy-
pothesis," he says, "the vital forces of
the empire cannot be effected, The
expenditure must not be looked upon
from a European viewpoint or COM
pared, for example, with the South
African struggle. Would Russia have
to spend, for example, 3S0,000 900
francs for the purchase of horses out
side Of her domains? Hardly. At the
maximum she will expend but 10000
900 francs, and this will be exclusive
ly expended in Russia. The cost Of
the transport of the troops, and sup
plies, also, will be paid over to the
state railway.
'In a general way it can be stated
that the money expended from the ma
tional treasury will not be the dead
loss that the cost of the Transvaal war
was to Great Britain. Most of it will ul-
timately benefit the Russian mer-
chants and manufacturers. 1t would
be a gross exaggeration to suppose
that the war will entail gross ex-
penditure on Russia of one-quarter of
the total of the cost of the war in
South Africa to the British govern
ment"

SPLIT ON BILL.
Senators Fail to Agree on Land Re-
form Measures.

Senators Fail to Agree on Land Re
form Measures.
Washington, March 10-Western
senators are hopeful that legislation
along the lines recommended in the
report of the Public Land Commits
sion, sent to congress yesterday, will
be enacted at the present session OF
congress. The senate committee eX
poets to take up the commissions re
concentrations at its meeting tomor
row, and an effort will be made to Sc
cure a report on bill repeating the
timber and stone act, providing for
the sale of government timber, and
carrying out the recommendations re
garding desert land and homestead
Communication laws.
Unfortunately there is division OF
the committee on party lines, the
democrats. with the exception of Du
bois, of Idaho, favoring the outright
repeal of the timber and stone home
stead Communication and desert land
acts, without the enactment of other
laws to take their place. Bard OF
California, and Dietrich, of Nebraska
are now with the democrats All
other republicans, except Nelson
favor legislation similar to that re
commended by the commission. This
leaves the committee standing seven
members for absolute repeal, six sup
porting the commissions recommend
alton, with Nelson in doubt and Bur
ton absent.
