OREGON NEWS OF INTEREST
LINEN MILL FOR SALen.
plant Costing 100000 Will Be
Opened Early Next Year.

Salem--Without asking for a dollar
of subsidy or for financial assistance of
any kind from the people of this com.
munity, Eugene Bosse and associates
will establish a linen mill in Salem
this winter and have it in operation
soon after the first Of the year.
The plant to be establ!shed will re.
quire an initial investment of 500, 900.
1t will employ during the first year a
force of 100 persons, two-thirds Of
whom will be women and children. 1t
will handle ton of flax fiber day,
and will use the product OF 5000 acres
of land sowed to fax.
This very gratifying outcome of the
flax fiber experiments and inyestiga-
tions may be credited in a large meas
uie to the efforts of the Oregon Women's
Flax Fiber association, the leading
spirits of which were Mrs. W. P. Lord,
Mrs. o. n. Denny and Mrs. H. L..
Pittock. Seven or eigth years ago
those Jealous women began the expert.

quality of the fiber from Oregon grown

flax experts has been attracted to
Salem, where the experiments were
conducted. Though the Oregon Wo-

ued its work because it had accom-
plished what it had started out to do
and was not able to carry the work
further. its efforts were productive of
results whose importance cannot yet be
estimated.

nEANS MOVE TOWARD nuKDrN.
japanese Concentration Shows At
tempt Will Be Made to Cut Line.

St. Petersburg, Aug. ll.-Although
Lieutenant General Sakharoff reports
that there s no change in the situation
around Liao Yang, it is evident from
the special dispatches to the Associated
Press from Lao Yang and Sintslntin
that the japanese are continuing their
preparations for a fanking movement
which may possibly alter the nature OF
the expected engagement at Lao Yang,
and which may also further delay the
crucial development.
The concentration Of strong Japan
ese forces at Siamatze indicates an in
tention to press forward toward Muk-
den, and if possible to cut the commu-
nications and prevent General Kuro-
patkin from retiring northward. Cen
eIal Kuropatkin is evidently aware of
this move, and is sending out recon-
noitering parties from sintsintin along
the Saimatze road. This is shown by
the slight en- counter with japanese
outpost within 80 miles of Sintsintin.
The Japanese are also bringing strong
forces from Yinkow.
Column MARI hing from Niu Chwang
with the evident intention of harklng
Lao Yang from the westward, included
10 900 Chinese from the island of For
mosa, who are japanese subjects. The
Associated Press correspondent at Lao
Yang points 10 the alarming character
of this develoment, and fears that the
example may prove contagious. If the
local Chinese are induced to join the
Japanese it will be impossible to dis
tinguish the Formosan and Manchurian
Chinese. This revives the spector of
Chinese embodiment, with the more
remote possibility of foreign entangle-
ments.
There is considerable anxiety re-
garding the presence Of General Yuan
Shi Kai, commander in chief of the
Chinese forces, and General Ma, with
strong forces Of troops in the north,
lest, should convenient opportunity
present itself, they would be tempted
to overstep the bounds of neutrality.

RIGHTS IN WAR
Hay Makes Declaration Re-
gdrding Neutral Nations.
DOES NOT AGREE WITH RUSSIA
Latter Country Once Took Occasion
to Dissent From the Inclusion
of Coal AS Contraband.

Washington, Aug. l0.--"The recog-
milton in principle, Of the treatment of
coal and other fuel and raw cotton az
absolutely contraband Of war, might
ultimately lead to total inhibition OF
the sale by neuhals to the people Of
belligerent states, Ct all articles which
could be finally converted to military
uses. Such an extension of the prin-
ciple, by treating coal and other fuel,
and raw cotton as absolutely contra
band of war, simply because they are
shipped by neutral to nonblockad-
ed port of belligerent, would not ap-
pear to be in accord with the reasona-
bic and lawful rights of a neutral COM
merce."
The circular is based on a declara-
tion by the Russian government that
coal, naphtha, alcohol and other fuels
have been declared contraband.
While cotton could be made into
clothing for the military uses of bel
ligerent, the secretary adds that mill
itary use might possibly be made of
foodstuffs of every description which
might be shipped from neutral ports to
the blockaded ports Of belligerent.
The principle under consideration
might, therefore, he says, "be extended
so as TO apply to every article of hui
man use, which might be declared con-
traband OF war simply because il might
ultimately become useful to belliger-
ent lor military purposes.
The secretary speaks Of coal and 9TH
er fuel and cotton as being employed
for great many innocent purposes,
and that many nations are derendent
on them for the conduct of inoffensive
industries, adding;
"And no sufficient presupmtion OF an
intended warlike use seems to be afford
ed by the mere fact OF their destination
to belligerent port He declares
that the recognition in principle Of the
treatment of coal and other fuel and
raw cotton as contraband of war might
ultimately lead to total inhibition ot
the sale by neutrals to the people OF
bellgerent states of all articles which
could be finally converted to military
uses. This, the secretary contends,
would not appear to be in accord with
the reasonable and lawful rights Of
commerce.
Secretary Hay directs attention to
the West African conference in 1884,
when Russia "took occasion to dissent
vigort uily from the inclusion c! coal
amorg such articles oontIaband Of war,
and declared that she would categoric-
ally refuse her consent to any articles
in any treaty or instrument whatever,
which would imply its recognition as

VEST is NO MORE.
Ex-senator Passes Away at His
Home In Missouri.

Sweet Springs, Mo-, Aug. 10.-After
lingering for weeks between life and
death, ex-senator George Vest passed
peacefully away yesterday. He had
been so near death for the last three
days that the end came without a
struggle. He was conscious until about
2 o'clock Sunday morning, when he
sank into state of coma from which
he never aroused He lost the power
of speech Saturday morning, but for
several days before that he talked very
imperfectly, and during the last 36
hours of his life his breathing was
bare y perceptible. The tlutter of his
pulse was all that showed that life still
remained.
At the bedside when the end came
we're his wife, Dr.. Jarvis, the family
physician; Senator Vests son Alexan-
der, his daughter, Mrs. George P.
jackson, and her husband, and Mrs.
Thopmson, niece Of Mrs. Vest.
The remains were taken to st. Louis
last evening for interment in the pri'
vate car of A. A. Allen, vice president
and general manager of the Missouri
Kansas & Texas railroad.

SOUTHWARK FROM SEASIDE.
Extension of Astoria & Columbia
River Road Again Discussed.

Astoria-The extension of the Astoria
& Columbia River railroad from Sea-
side south is again being discussed, and
this time there is evidently some basis
for the rumor, although nothing Off
cial on the subject can be obtained.
Below SEASIDE is a fine ledge of rock,
and some time ago there was talk of
opening it up to secure rock for the
jetty extension. Engineer sHegardt, OF
Fort Stevens, and Superintendent Nc
Guire, of the railway company, have
made an inspection trip over the pro-
posed line, and examined the rock in
the ledge. They are said to be well
pleased with the result of tn il inves-
legations. When the extension is
built, it will also be used to bring logs
for the Seaside Lumber company from
its timber holdings in that vicinity,
and the asseIst on is made that A. B.
Hammond has made a contract with
the mill company to s.Il it his timber,
also located IN that section, at So per
thousand stumpage.

Vessels Will Carry Coal.

Constantinople, Aug. l0.-The porte
has practically accepted the verbal
notification made Saturday by the Rus
sian ambassador, NJ. Zinavieff, Of the
impending passage Of the pardanelles
by some vessels OF the volunteer feet
laden with coal. This notification was
accompanied by assurances that the
vessels would preserve the character of
the merchantmen throughout the voy-
age. To avoid difficulty, it also in
cluded a textual reproduction of the
Russian declaration in the official note
addressed to the Russian embassy.
