See sians Of Peace.

London, Jan. 3.-The British public
continues to see in the fall Of Port
Arthur another step towards the con
clusion of peace. In diplomatic cir
cles 1t is considered that, the most Sc
rious results to Russia will come
when the news becomes generally
known In the empire. When the pop
ulace generally hears the news the
diplomats expect that the popular dis
satisfaction with the war will cause q
tremendous stir and impress upon the
government the desirability of peace
In order to be able to concentrate its
force within the empire.

oils. Mr.. Bidwell was informed by AS.
sistant Indian Commissioner Larrabee
that the general law governing right
of way across Indian reservations re.
stricts such rights to one line of road
unless the good of the public demands
that additional lines shall be given
permission.
In this instance a right of way over
practically the same routes sought by
the Northwestern company has been
granted to the so-called Belgo-Amer-
lean line, but in view of the specula-
tive character of this project and the
uncertainty that the syndicate will en-
gage in actual railroad building, Com
missioner Larrabee decided to grant
a right of way to the Northwestern.
Mr.. Bidwell states that his road will
commence building operations without
delay and that it will not undertake
to establish a new town on the border
OF the reservation, as originally con-
towns already established at Lander

Polk county horse breeders have de-
cided to hold a Horse Show and
Parade in Dallas on Saturday, April

originated among Dallas horsemen,
the show will not be limited to Polk
county horses, but will be open to
stockmen in all parts of Western Ore
gon, The parade will take place on
Main street at 80 o'clock p. m.
The promoters of the show will spare
no pains to make the exhibit success
full, and will invite prominent horse
breeders in all parts Of the Willamette
Valley to bring their best stock to
Dallas on that day. No expense will
be attached to the show so far as entry
fees are concerned, and all horsemen
will be given an opportunity to partici-
pate free of cost. 1t is believed that a
large number Of farmers and admirers
of fine horses will be present, and that
the show will prove an interesting
and profitable occasion.

TRAFFIC TOO LIGHT
Additional Train Desired By Newberg
People Not Justified by
Amount of Travel.

Experiment with gasoline motor
cars, the first of which will be de-
livered within a few weeks, is for the
purpose of furnishing more frequent
service to towns where operation of
additional regular trains is not justi-
fed by present traffic conditions -
said w. E. Conan when asked in
reference to the desire of the people of
Newberg for more frequent passenger
trains.
Trains are operated in accordance
with the wish of residents Of this terri
tory as to the way they shall be run, in
view of the fact that business does not
justify operating another daily train,
and as a whole I believe the people
are very we'll satisfied with the service.
Could sufficient traffic be had to war
rant placing another passenger train
in service on that road 1 am sure that
it would be most gratifying to the
Southern Pacific Company to operate
the train. Evening Telegram.
