WAR NOTES,

The ambition of Japan seems to be
to make Lsdysmith" conditions at
Port Arthur.
1t is reported that at Newchang, a
few days ago. two Japanese, disguised
rs beggars, attempted to assassinate
Gen. kuropatkin.
Russia appears to be intent upon re.
moving all means of support for the
Japanese army, and leave the Mikado's
hosts stranded in the wilderness.
A serious engagements involving
great disaster to the Japanese forces,
is reported on the Yalu river. 1t is
claimed from Russian sources that
the enemy lost 1000 men.
The Russians have now secured a
new form Of submarine boat which
promises safety to Port Arthur. 1t is
claimed that the effort now to block
ade the port will be too dangerous.
1t is reported that the feelings of
China are becoming more in favor of
Japan as time passes, and it is notable
that it comes after Viceroy Alexief
had requested the retirement of the
Chinese troops.
1t is denied that King Edward has
suggested any peace proposals to
Russia, but has signified his pleasure
that an opportunity might be afford
ed to settle matters of difference be-
tween Great Britain and Russia.
The tide OF battle seems to have
turned in favor of Russia. Besides
the reported success on land the
Vladivostok squadron is reported
Tuesday to have sank four Japanese
transports which had on board 4, 600
men.
After many reports that the Japan.
ese had successfully crossed the Yalu,
it is seen in recent dispatches that
they were still trying to get across.
The news from the seat of war is as
conflicting as the local hash served up
by our pewit dailies.
The repulse on the Manchurian
bank Of the Yalu is confirmed, and
it is conceded that the Japs were re-
pulsed with great loss after hot fight.
Two gunboats which steamed up the
river to the support of land forces we're
compelled to retire under the fire OF
field artillery.
1t is reported that Russian torpedo
boats outside of Port Arthur captured
several Japanese transports and de-
clared them prizes OF war. Although
they had hoisted white flag and sur.
rendered, the Russian commander
suspecting they were communicating
with Admiral Togo by wireless teleg.
raphy sank all the transports with g..
600 men. This report seems to be
verified from several sources.

be admitted. for long time came on
with remarkable continuity. No soon.

the last was that Lieutenant Pell and

were being placed to bar the Jap's en-
trance to Port Arthur. A member OF

The Attorney General mas given 1t
as his opinion, in reply to a query
from the Prosecuting Attorney OF
klickitat county, that under the
amendment OF 1903, warehouses can
be held for personal property taxes
assessed upon wheat and warehouses
last year, the grain having been sold
and removed from the State. He
holds that the warehouses can be
levied upon for personal taxes of 1903,
the law having gone into effect March
9th of last year, and the assessment
being in effect from that date. The
amendment specifically provides that
personal property taxes shall be lien
upon real and personal property-with-
out any apparent ambiquity-and
doubtless the question submitted was
to secure an opinion as to its validity.

A FEW SHORT STORIES
YOU NEVER READ BEFORE
LCE +. VERNON.

An Idaho man and wife were taking
their first railroad ride. Tho man
poked his head out OF a window of the
car and saw the train approaching a
cattle guard. Grabbing q firm hold
on the seat he yelled:
"Hol' tight. Emmal She's goin' to
jump q fence"
1t was a Sunday sermon. A sen.
sational one. The Sky Pilot was
eloquent, the congregation patient,
and the discourse very long. A
stranger entered and took q seat in a
back pew. Presently he whispered
to the man 1t his side, evidently one
OF the old members
"How long has he been preachingP"
Thirty or forty years, 1 think"
answered the elderly man. ~ don't
know exactly"
an stay. them" said the stranger,
"he must be nearly DONE"
The bold young sporting man, who
was inclined to be tough, was palpably
nervous as he stood before the altar in
a Seattle church with his blushing
bride.
His knees shook to such an extent
that one almost expected to hear his
teeth chatter, but he attempted to
cover his confusion by adopting an
air OF dashing bravery. The result
was disaster.
"Wilt thou have this woman to be
thy welded wifei" began the preacher
when to his establishment, there came
the startling response:
"Say, old man, cheese it! What do
yer suppose came here for, to chris.
ten the baby, or to get divorced"
A minister who had undertaken to
preach at small church in Nevada, q
few miles away, hired an automobile
TO reach his destination. It was a
cold, stormy day, and when he mount.
ed the pulpit he discovered that the
congregation consisted of only one
man. He resolved. however, to 60
through with the service. and, after
preaching for a quarter of an hour, he
asked his solitary auditor if he had
had enough.
go, no." said the man, ego on"
So the Sky Pilot preached for an.
other quarter OF an hour, and again
asked the question.
go on, sir. 20 on"
Much pleased, the preacher con.
tinued his discourse for another half.
hour. He was not quite so pleased,
however, when, the service being over,
he discovered that his congregation
was the driver of the automobile whom
he was paying by the hour.

AN ERRORLESS GAME
That's What the Sank Centre
Team Played at Grey
Eagle.

There was something doing at Grey
Eagle on Sunday afternoon just after
game was called, and for nine innings
the Grey Eagles famed the air while
Sank Centre made ten successful trips
to scoreville. 1t was a pretty exhibit
ton of ball playing, a little one-sided
perhaps, but the last few games have
been just about that way. Grey Eagle
did all they could to make a score,
three times they had third base
covered,-but then Gilchrist was in
the box, and they never saw the home
plate. They may have had visions,
but that's all. Grey Eagle has pretty
good team-they beat Melrose-but
they were out-classed. Sank Centre
took no chances and gave none. They
played an errorless game. They gave
Gilchrist the support that will win
any game. No luck, but ball playing,
the real article.
Woods was in the box for Grey
Eagle, and did clever work, his sup
port being not always the best. There
was time, not many years ago, when
DOGGY Woods" was a pretty hard
proposition 10 run up against, in base
ball matters, but his left wing must
