INVESTMENT or PORT ARrHuR.


Lao Yang, July 3o.--A Russian cor
respondent OF the Associated Press, who
has inst arrived here after two months
stay at Port Arthur, gives an import
ant and interesting narrative Of the stu
alton at the beleagured fortress when ne
left there, July a. which shows thai
the Japanese operations until then had
not advanced so far as supposed. Sew
aral Russian successes are chronicled,
but the report of japanese reverse,
with loss of 80, 900 men, is definitely
disposed Of, not being even mentioned
by the correspondent, who says:
"When | put to sea in junk the
land position on the Russian right flank,
surrounding Green and semaphore
hills. which the Russians had lost, had
been recaptured by assault. The
heights Of Huinsin, which the Japanese
defended desperately, alone remained
in their hands. But | am convinced
that this position also has since been
retaken. The very morning OF my de-
parture, July IA. the position was be-
ing bombarded by six-inch Howitzers
and shells were falling repeatedly into
the Japanese works, causing great dis
order.
"To sum up, by the fighting of July
8, A and s. when evidently the Russian
forces we're acting on the offensive, thu
Russians iegained on the land side thu
positions they had held in front OF the
fortress previous TO the battle of Kai
Chou.
"The main forces of the beseigers
are on the average at distance OF II
miles from the perimeter of the fortress
on the Russian right, but the japanese
have approached to within IL miles or
the Russian left. AS far as Inchentt
station, IA miles from Port Arthur
the railroad is working. Between 40.'
900 and so, 900 men are operating be-
fore Port Arthur. The troops maintain
constant exchange of skirmishlng fire
but the field or other guns are usually
silent. The japanese are apparently
conducting a slow, engineering advance
"Often in the morning the Russians
discover fresh trenches. The japanese
are compelled to abandon this work ir
the daytime, as the Russians regularly
open fire on them as soon as daylight
discloses the works.

HOPE TO HOLD OUT
Port Arthur Depends on Relief

Ammunition has Been Growing Less and the

place, even though they had twice ae
many troops.
The Russians, according TO the refu-

WATERS or THE ANA.


Washington, Aug. 2.--The reclama-
ton engineers have turned up another
promising irrigation project In Oregon,
this time In central Lake county. on
the north shore OF Summer lake. A
tract OF about 125, 900 acres has been
withdrawn from all save restricted
homestead entry, pending further in
vestigatioa to determine whether or
not 1t will be practicable to irrigate
portion or al OF the area With the
waters of the Ana river, small stream
which feeds Summer lake. 1t IL
thought the Ana river Is an outlet OF
Silver lake, which lies few miles
northwest.
This project will be under examina-
tion the remainder OF the summer, to
determine whether practicable means
can be found of applying water to the
land In such quantities and at such
cost az will justify undertaking the
project. The lands withdrawn for the
Ana river project are included in town
ship 49, ranges II and 49,; township
80, ranges l6, II and ls; and township
81, range II, all south and east
A new project has also been found
in Washington, known as the Priest
Rapids project. Nine townships lying
along the Columbia river in Yakima,
Douglas and Kittitas counties have
been withdrawn pending final deter
mination OF the feasibility Of remov-
ing water from the Columbia river at
Priest Rapids and bringing it down
upon the Columbia valley lands lying
below the rapids, on either bank OF the
river. The lands withdrawn are:
Townships ID. IA and 10, range 23,
and townships 13 and Ia, ranges "a, 20
and 20, all north and east.
This project, while adjoining the Big
Bend project, is separate and distinct
and will be made The subject of special
study this summer. Its success de-
ponds largely upon the ability to get
water upon the land at reasonable cost.
A considerable portion OF these lands
are now under cultivation and the con-
currence Of farmers must be had before
this work can be undertaken.

AID TO STRIKERS.
Freighfhandlers May Take Hand
in Chicago Trouble.

Chicago, July 30.-After issuing a
general order that would have involved
all the Chicago railroads in the stock
yards strike, Lawrence J. Curran, pres
dent of the Freighthandlers' union,
tonight reconsidered his action and is
now holding his order in allegiance
pending conference tomorrow morn
ing with leaders of the Allied Trades
unions, whose members are on strike.
1t is said, however, that if President
Donnelly, of the Butchers union, and
the other strike leaders express desire
to have the order enforced it will be
put irto effect at once. The executive
committee Of the freighthandles was in
session until late tonight ard it is said
that preparations have been made to
put the strike order in force if it be
deemed necessary.
President Curran's orders, if lived
up to by the freight handlers, would
work severe hardship on the packers
as it explicitly directs that union men
shall handle no freight for the big
packing companies, either outgoing or
incoming. President Curran's order to
the men follows:
AT meeting with the business
agents OF the local Freighthandlers'
union today it was decided that all
men under tho jurisdiction of our or
gan. cation in the various railroads. in
Chicago be ordered not to receive or de-
liver any freight of the packers, wheth-
er tins freight is delivered at the
freighthouses by teams or in cars.u
