 Consider the immense amount of railroad building, irrigation and other development now going on throughout the whole southwest, and bear in mind that San Diego is the only natural ocean outlet and inlet to and from those regions, as well as many of the Eastern and all of the Southern states. THEN ESTIMATE HER FUTURE IF
 YOU CAN.
 San Diego today offers the best and safest investment opportunity of any city in the West A small investment in San Diego real estate at the present low prices may easily be the foundation of fortune. For this reason many investors are being attracted to this field from all over California, and many parts of the United States, and the elements are gathering for one of the greatest peri eds of activity ever known in the South west.

appliances to take it from the forest
and place it in tide water. The equal

Paris, Nov. 8 Three officers OF the
Russian squadron, including CAP tain
Clado, who are the principal witnesses
in the North sea incident, arrived to-
day from vigo and went Immediately

held long conference.
Captain Clado was on board the flag
ship with Vice Admiral Rojestvensky,
and was entrusted with the task OF
drafting the official account. After
the conference the officers declined to
make any public statement relative to
the affair until the report is delivered
in St. Petersburg. However, 1t can be
stated that their visit more than ever
satisfies the Russian authorities that
the presence Of two Japanese torpedo
boats was positive fact, eye witnesses
maintaining that their Identification
was unmistakable.
There continues to be an understand
ing In Russian diplomatic circles that
two reports will be sent separately, one
from Hull and the other from st.

Lighting and InqdenssIs.

Washington, Nov. Tit has been
determined that the government will
erect only four buildings at the Lewis
and Clark exposition instead Of Eve, as
originally planned. It was found that
the acceptance Of the lowest bid, that
Of J.. E. Bennett, Of Portland, would
leave only $4,000 for wiring and light
ing the government buildings and fof
incidental expenses, etc. This amount.
in the opinion Of Supervising Architect
Taylor, is not sufficient.
The supervising architect declares 1t
isnecessary either to eliminate one
building or reduce the size Of the main
building and alter the plans. Chair
man Hills, Of the government board,
and the members OF the executive board
in this city, today concluded the best
thing to do would De to abandon the
separate building which was to have
been erected for toresiy and irrigation,
saving tl2, 900. As this building was
to have been hidden by the main build.
ing, its elimination will not alter the
general appearance of the group On the
peninsula. The board is OF the opin-
ion that with this building eliminated
there will still be sufficient space re-
naming for all purposes.

NEtDs or THE pENl1tNTIARY
Superintendent James flakes Re-
commentator In Report.

Salem.--The present contract for
the employment Of Oregon conyicts in
the penItentIary stove foundry expires
in July. 1905, soon after the adjourn
ment OF the next legislature, and the
question il presented. What shall then
be done with the conyIcts? This ques-
tion Is suggested in the biennial re.
port Of Prison Superintendent G. W.
James, his only recommendation on
the subject being that some plan be
adopted by which all the conYicts will
be given constant employment. This
Is desired both as a measure OF econ
omy for the state and means of dis.
cipline among the prisoners.
The principal recommendation
made by Superintendent James are
that provisions be made by which
youthful prisoners may be separated
from the older men and those SEN
fenced for trivial offenses separated
from hardened criminals; that an ap-
preparation be made which will permit
the enlargement of the library to 1000
volumes; that more land be purchased
so that more of the articles of food
may be produced by convict labor;
that the foundry buildings be repaired
and improved. II the present plan of
convict labor is to be continued; that
the water-power fiume be strengthen
ed 80 that 1t will not be in banker of
bursting from decay; that a new barn
be constructed; that a new system of
plumbing be installed in the prison
cells; that provision should be made
for the employment of guards for pris-
oners condemned to be hanged, and
that an appropriation be made for the
purchase OF a surgical table and sur
glcal tools for the prison hospital.

Cheioo, Nov. 6.--"Port Arthur 10
doomed"
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press here has received information,
the reliability Of which is beyond ques.
tion, that the japanese now occupy po
siiIons which place the east side OF the
town at their mercy.
Japanese arriving from Dalny today
report that the Japanese have captured
Rihlung mountain and sungushu noun
tain, which lies between the railroad
and RihlunR mountain. They also rs
port that the japanese have also cap
tured East Keekwan mountain.
The last assault has gained for them
positions which insure their ability to
enter the main forts whenever they are
ready. II is calculated by the Japan.
ese that II the Russians do not surIen-
der, they will be capable Of prolonging
their Hnal stand at Liaoti mountain
and on the Tigers Tail for a month
longer, with the mere hope OF proloDe-
ing the struggle. Long before the Sec.
ond Pacific squadron arrives the Japan.
ese flag will wave over the wrecked cit
adel.
This will end Viceroy Aiexieff's
dream Of an unconquerable city. The
Japanese have not occupied the main
forts and highest points of the east
hills, but they occupy in overwhelming
numbers positions which will enable
them TO drive the Russians back when.
ever they desire.

rore Teachers Are wanied.

Pendleton.-Twenty-six teachers OF
the Pendleton city schools have filed
their contracts with County Superin-
tendent Frank X. Wells. Only one
more is left yet to file. Although the
law requires that teachers must file
their contracts upon commencing their
duties. The PendIeton teachers have
just complied with the law. Mr.. Wells
reports that there are yet number
OF Umatilla county districts to be sup
piled with teachers. The districts are
small and pay from $40 to $50
month, and are not much sought for.
When teachers are plentiful there Is
no trouble to supply even the most
remote district, but, now, when every
teacher is employed, the low wages
and undesirable locations hold no in
ducements to them.
