TIE WAR NEWS.
No Battles Reported by .he Industri-
Gus Correspondents.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-The
war news in the besieged country now
being traversed by the Japs and Rus
slams was decidedly lacking, both by
the Associated Press and the CORE
spondents. The London papers are G.
porting an interview with the Russian
generals in which they state that the
entire Notifications and the town Of
Port Arthur will be blown to atoms
before the place is surrendered to the
Japanese
The opposing forces are as far from
a battle today as they were a week
ago. Both sides are adding strength t.
their armies as the days go by, AMI
when an engagement does come. it is
likely to be enc that will decide the
question for some time to come.
The past three days have kept the
Russian ships that have been freed
from the ice busy. They are maxi e
raids on the apanese merchantmen
and it is stated that no less than
twenty ships have fallen into the
hands of the Russians.
The japanese war vessels were Sc n
| off the coast of Pert Arthur yesterday

ed they have another point Of assault

MAKE CARSON A VISIT.
Lieutenant Governor of California
Guest of Mr.. FIeishecker.

Yesterday MIR. Herbert Flisheckec
had the pleasure of introducing Mr.
Alden Anderson, the Lieutenant Gov
ernor Of California to the people of this
city. Mr.. Fleishecker was on a tour
and Mr.. Anderson accompanied him.
After visiting the points of interest
they departed for the Comstock by pri-
vate conveyance.
During the afternoon in this city
tie party visited the State Capitol, TIL,
prison and inspected the many hand
some specimens that are to be shipped
by Nevada to the st. Louis exposition.
Mr.. Anderson stated that he found
many things of interest in this city
and the surrounding section, and that
he was mere than surprised at the
weather, and when Mr.. Fleishecker
attempted to palm him off as an at
| torney Of note, he stood treat and en-
deavored to make the jOvial crowd
| forget such an insinuatiCn. He believes
| II is pad enough 10 be pOiltlclan
without being coupled up with the
lawyers.
When asked what he intended to
do with Mr.. Fleishecker and what that
gentleman was hedging for this trip
he said that he was going to let him
build an electric road, buy up rivers
and do anything but get out Of his
sight, as he was actoing as a guardi.
an on the trip.
Mr. Anderson concluded by stating
that he and his wife intended making
a visit to this city during the summer
as Mrs. Anderson was anxious to Wis
it this place, as her father held inter.
ests here in the early days and sne
viii accompany him here in the near
future.

A BUSY SUMMER.
Carson River to be the Scene Of Great
Activity.

ACTIVITY.
Yesterday Frank Everett and his
wife arrived in this city from an ex-
tended visit to the sea coast, where
they have been spending the winter
months. They are both in the best of
health and Mr.. Everett is ready for
| busy season that's ahead of him.
Naturally the first thing that is
asked him is How is everything Up
| the river on the placer grOund?''
1T cannot be better, and we intent
! doing considerable more work this
summer tnan last. Arrangements for
new machinery have been made, the
ditch line IS to be extended, which
will give us great deal more power,
the only thing that was lacking last
| summer, but the short run of last
season thoroughly dem. lstrated that
| the plans we have adopted are all
| right and that it is a paying PROPOSE
| ton.
"One thing that will be entirely new
will be the establishment of a mill
to grind up the quartz that comes IN
the sluices We found y assay that
some of the best values were in the
quartz and gravel that comes with the
sluicing. This was all allowed to 30
| over into the river last season, but
now a mill is to crush and amalga-
mate this product.
{ I'm order to handle it properly We
have ordered a set of Bryan rollers
of a good capacity. 1 uis will be
driven by water power in connection
with the elevators. All the improve
ments will be sarted just as soon as
the season settles down to business
and we can get to work l have more
confidence in the river placer today
than at any time, as they have been
worked enough to show that the val
ues are there and that we can get
it is a pretty good thing for this en-
tire section
This is not the only project that is
going on out south. Aside from the in
!; terests that are held by the company
that represent, there are others who
are going into the business on large
scale. They will make some pretty
lively times up that way.
Over in Red Canyon myself and
several associates are going to put in
a busy season. Last fall we secured
a number of quartz claims which have
/ been worked sufficiently to show wha,
; they are. In order to handle them as
! we desire, new mill has been order
ed for the place. 1t will be driven by
tner settles we will make the first

? projects that are already started, it is
/ a safe prediction that the section tc
3 the south of this city will experience
l a great revival in the next few months
and some Of it is bound to be Of great
benefit and result in new fields being

A Good Suggestion.

From the Searchligh we learn that
there is no confirmation there, Of the
report that thirty men had recently
persisted on the desert, and it thinks
the story Is gross exaggeration. They
further say:
It is no uncommon occurrence for
q man to perish of thirst while al
tempting to cross long stretch Of
desert. Why not spend small part
of the large appropriations, lately
made by Congress for the reclamation
Of arid lands, for digging and mainta-
lining wells and for posting Of signs
giving the locations and distances be-
tween water holes. Long ago a gen.
tleman named Parsons brought this
matter before the Los Angeles Cham
Der of Commerce, but as far as known
no action was taken.
AS it is vastly more important 10
save lives than to reclaim arid waste
an endeavcr should be made to bring
the matter 'jefore Congress and to
have the necessary appropriations
made.

RAISES, WILL BE CUT POSTAL CLERKS WILL GET FEW
 FER ADVANCES. Riot of Extravaganza Conducted By Late Chief of Salary Department Will be Stopped-Promotion
 For Efficiency Alone.
Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building,

Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building, Washington, April Il.
 The riot of extravaganza conducted by the late chief of the division of salaries and allowances of the Postofice Depart ment has been the cause of so great a scrutiny of affairs in that division by the House Committee on Postoffices and Postroads that there has been very ma terial cut in the line of promotions among postotiice clerks, a cut that might not have otherwise occurred
 Retrenchment has never before been a Republican virtue. Chairman Overstreet has been assuming the part very well since he has presided over the committee which has charge of postal legislation. Congress this year has appropriated about 60 per cent less than last year for clerk hire, the appropriation for increase of pay for postal clerks for the current year being S1.2oo.0Oo. MT. Overstreet thought that 1t was time not to dupli- cate that outlay, as the Department had increased the pay of all postofice em- ployes about 75 per cent.
 The original idea of promotions on merit had been under Beavers, and his congressional reciprocity arrangements had been practically abandoned. There was no telling what clerks did not de-
 
 cut the appropriation down to $5)0,O0O and the action was endorsed by the Senate
 Pursuant to the present plan of a re- turn as far as possible to a merit system the Postofflce Department is preparing to put into effect promotions that are by the records deserving. A letter will be sent to every postmaster in the country call ing for a list of clerks to be advanced in pay. Clerks need no longer look for more money along the way blazed by Beavers Postmasters will be informed that only about 5000 promotions will be provided for and they must moderate their demands Last year there were 12.O00 promotions to be provided for. The 5000 will be divided among the postal clerks all over the country, taking in those as low as the $1o0 grade The number of clerks who are to be advanced will thus be greatly re- duced. Postmasters will be informed of the number of men allotted to them as admissible for advancement. Records in every case will be closely scrutinized in the Department here. Time records date of last promotions and efficiency papers will be essentials to be considered.
 There Is great interest in the Depart ment as to who may get the $4500 place of purchasing agent provided for in the postoff1ce appropriation bill. When the place is filled. 1t is said 1t will in effect constitute a fifth assistant postmaster general. R. H. Watkins.

The cause of the low water was an ice jam up the rivel,

PAVILION BUILT
 OF DRIED FRUITS.
Santa Clara County, Cal, Makes Unique Display of Its Fruit Pro-

Santa Clara County, Cal, Makes
 Unique Display of Its Fruit Pro-
 ducts at Worlds Fair.
 St. Louis Dispatch.
 | With dried fruits there has been per formed at the Worlds Fair a feat o architecture that vles in beauty of de | sign with the most pretentious crea' | tlons of stan. In the great Palace of Az riculture is a most unique pavilion erect
 ed by Santa Clara County. Cal, for tht
 display of its vast fruit products. Choosing for a model the old San Louis l Key Mission near San Diego, the build era with dried prunes, apricots. figs and peaches have fashioned the walls and towers in all of their old Spanish pie turesqueness, and with more of the edi- bles miniature reproduction of the Lick Observatory has been designed as a crowninR ornament for the unique struc- ture.
 Twenty thousand dollars were appro-
 priated for Santa CIara's participation fin
 the Worlds Fair and the space covered
 by the county's exhibit is larger than
 that allotted to the island of Cuba, which
 a6Jeins 1t. The pavilion covers s by 2l
 feet of room and altogether 1,6l0 square
 feet of space Is taken up by the exhib- its,
 Not alone does the luscious exterior
 walls faithfully portray the outlines of the old mission, but inside the products oS the orchard have been displayed in such array of splendor that a mythlogi- cal palace Is at once brought to mind Jars of preserved fruit are embedded In tho structure of ballustrades and arch ways. giving the appearance of sections of stone inserted by the skill of masonry.
 What a gorgeous spectacle is the in- forinrf HhanAalfnra formed hNr of gltbes filled with sparkling wines and juices, behind which are hidden powerful electric lights, illuminate the chambers which dainty dishes of Santa Clare are served to visitors. Here will be served not only fresh and dried fruit. but demon- strations will be made of how they are used in making preparations intended to delight human appetites.
 Wonderful Is the color effect achieved in the decorations with the limited shades to draw from. With an artists hand the ebony hue of the prune has been blended with the bright red orange and tint of the dried apricot and the gray aud white of the bleached peach in a scheme that is as pleasing to the eye as one made with all the colors of the painters palette.
 Four tons of dried fruits were used in the installation for ornamental pur- poses Vari-colored urns of fruit have heen arranged in the windows with such an effect as to cause the rays of light to delude the vision into the impression that they. are panes of richly stained glass.
 William Binder Is the architect of the structure. It is the most elaborate ef- fort ever made by the fruit-growing in- ter ests of Santa Clara County. Lending attraction to the building Is the local color Californians will find in the model The San Louis Key Mission is one Of the historic attractions of Southern Cali fornia. The Lick Observatory is at Mt. Hamilton in Santa Clara County.
