st. Petersburg, May 12.-4:16 p.
m.-Viceroy Alexieff has telegraphed
to the czar announcing that the Rus
SLAMS have blown up the docks and
piers at Port Dalny, Liao Tung PENN
sula, presumably to render more diff
Port Dalny, on Talien Wal bay on
the east coast Of the Liao rung penin-
sula, was intended by Russia to be the
chief commercial emporium of its
eastern dominions. An edict provid-
| ing for it's construction was issued
| by the Russian emperor July 80, 1899,
and Port Dalny, fully equipped with
all modern improvements, docks,
warehouses and railroad facilities,
was opened to commerce in December,
1901.
| Talien Wan bay is one Of the finest
deep water harbors on the Pacific.
1t is free from ice in winter and ships
drawing 80 feet of water can enter
at low tide without difficulty and with
out the aid OF pilots can sail or steam
alongside the immediate docks and
piers where their cargoes can be
loaded into railroad cars and run
direct for 5000 miles into the city OF
st. Petersburg. Five large piers had
been constructed, each supplied with
numerous railroad tracks and i'm
mense warehouses and elevators, gas,
electric lights and water, and large
breakwater was being constructed so
that ships could lie at the piers and
load and unload regardless of weather.
Docks for foreign vessels, steam and
sail, extended between the piers and
along the shore for two miles.
There were two first-class dry docks,
one intended for ordinary ocean steam
ers and the other designed to accom-
modate the largest vessels of war or
commerce.
More than $6,0OO,O00 had been ex-
pended on the harbor system before
the end of 1902 and it was estimated
that the cost of completing the works
would be nearly $2O,0O0,0O0, but this
does not in any way represent the to-
tai cost of the erection of this great
commercial port which, with Port Ar
thur distant about 20 miles, was
leased by the Chinese government to
Russia in 1898.
Nearly $4,000 men were employed
daily on the work of constructing the
port and town. The total population
had been estimated at about 10000
mostly Chinese, Japanese, Koreans
and Russians.
St. Petersburg, May 12.-4:30
m.-Later kilograms received indicate
that the whole Of Port Dalny has
been destroyed by the Russians.

with the reclamation of arid lands.
The projects decided upon are all
we'll outlined and provisions have
been made for the expenditure OF
all the available funds. During the
two years that have elapsed since the
passage OF the law, all efforts of the
reclamation bureau have been con-
centrated on general examinations
and comparison, of the merits of the
various projects whose attention has
been urged upon the department.
Those selected and approved are as
follows:
Arizona-Salt river project, under
consideration at estimated cost OF
about $3,0O0,o00.
California-Yuma project, ordered
constructed at the cost of about $3,-
100000.
Colorado-Uncompah project, in
volving an expenditure of $2,OO0,O00
Idaho-Minidoka project, for which
about $2,6OUOOO has been provision
ally allotted.
Montana-Milk river project, gene
raj allotment of 100000.
Nevada a-Truckee- Carson project

For THE CLARION:

In your last weeks issue, a writer touches
upon the past OF Thuimont and its future
possibilities. especially as to its becoming
summer resort of some renown. have al
ways felt that Thurmont had bright future
as far as a summer resort is concerned, and
l still feel more than confident that at no dis
tant day will it push forward much more
rapidly than it has done in the past.
There are few people here who seem to
have grasped the situation as it exists, We
turn away hundreds of people every summer
and the past has been no exception TASK any
boarding house keeper if this is not truc)
People come here year after year and each
year are louder in their praise of Thurmont
and surroundings than ever before. New
faces appear and they too grow enthusiastic
and With all these facts constantly recur.
ring, there seems to be nc effort upon the
part of people of the town and community
as whole to further the interests of the
town in this particular We could have u
half dozen or dazcn large boarding houses
built each year, aud fill them to overlooking,
and each recurring year would prove more
successful year than the previous one had
been.
People from the mountains are coming
down to Thurmont, preferring its surround
ings 10 the severity of the heat of the noun
tains. Now why can't "a few of the public
spirited citizens get together and endeavor,
by their organization to interest people to
come here and build cottages and summer
hotels and boarding houses? Other commu.
mites do so with far less natural advantages
than we have. Are we lacking in energy,
or is it indifference?
Thurment needs more people TO engage in
the growing OF early fruit and vegetables,
for as the place grows as a summer resort
the scarcer vegetables and fruits become.
There is great opening for hustling persons
IN this line and the raising of poultry. No
better prices prevail ou side the city than in
this place, and yet no one makes any pre-
tense of raising more than enough tor family
use, perhaps few more.
These are few thoughts that possibly
may find Judgement in receptive mind aud
may lead to more activity in the future for
the advancement Of Thurmont and vicinity.
May it be SO. w

Light and Heat Plant.

There is a project on foot, in tact pretty
thoroughly under way, to improve the light

A number o: our people have Joined to Sc

the object of which corporation is 10 furnish

Those interested have made an exhaustive
Investigation Of acetyle gas and the many
mechanical devices for its manufacture; they
have learned of such as have been tried and
condemned and Of others proven highly
satisfactory, hence are in q position to act
adv;sedly.
The company will ask the town at once
for street franchise and there will be no de.
lay in installing the plant, in fact it is the
present purpose of the company to have it
in operation not later than December 18th.
