NEW SYSTEM OF BIDDING.
Army Quartermaster Makes Welcome
Change for Forage Dealers.

Washington, May lit will be vel
come news to Pacific coast dealers to
know that the quartermaster general of
the army has decided to obtain bids for
forage for army purposes under new
system, which shall permit competition
on three-months as an annual basis.
1t is believed that more satisfactory
bidding will be obtained, if it is possi-
BILE to secure proposals for furnishing
forage for period of three months.
This will enable closer competition,
hence it will afford bidders an opportu-
nifty to estimate more closely as to
market conditions.
In presenting bids for the annual
supply of forage at all the military
posts, it is found that bidders are re-
quired to specify largely as to the prob
able condition of crops, and this, of
course, must have its effect upon prices
named for yearly supply of army
forage. Bidding will, therefore, be
permitted for quarterly as we'll as for
an annual supply.

CLEARING THE WAY.
Government Buys Two Private IrrIga-
ton Canals on Klamath.

Washington, May 2.-The secretary
of the Interior has approved, provision
ally, the purchase of the Adams ditch
and the Ankeny canal, in the vicinity
of Klamath Falls, both of which are to
be used in connection with the Kla-
math irrigation project in Oregon.
The government had previously secured
options on these irrigation systems, and
the action of the secretary provides for
their purchase as soon as the final
plans of the engineers for the construc-
tion of the large project have been &C
cepted. The government will pay
500, 900 for the Adams canal and $780,
900 for the Ankeny.
The secretary has also approved, sub
ject to future determination, to con-
struct the project, the purchase of 49,
600 acres of land belonging to the ]. D.
Carr Land & Livestock company, at
Clear Lake, California. The purchase
price is $187 500. and includes the RI
parian rights of the company in the
Clear lake reservoir site and along the
Tule lake, besides canals now construct
ed on the lands of the company.

YAMHlLL CROPS DOING WELL.
Prospects are that Cereal Yield Will
Be the Best in Years.

Minnville-Yamhill county has
not had better promise of good yield
in cereals for years than it has the pres
ent season. Crops generally are thrift
ty, and of the finest color. Owing to
the weather and crop conditions last
spring, the farmers seeded a larger
acreage than usual last fall. The fall
sowing was mostly wheat, and this is
advancing rapidly. Oats also look
we'll, and there is no sign of blight.
The spring sowing is practically fin
ished and the earlier spring grain is up
and growing WE'LL. Farmers generally
have made a larger sowing of spring
oats than usual. There is growing
tendency in this county to make the
spring crop consist chiefly of oats.
Hop conditions, while good, cannot
be called excellent. The growth has
been extremely uneven, some vines
having grown rapidly, and are already
trellised, while others have not -ad-
vanced far. Otherwise, the crop looks
we'll and has not been harmed by frost.
In a few yards the leaves have been
slightly nippped, but practically NO
harm done to the hops. AS far as can
be ascertained, every yard in the coun-
ty is being cultivated, and fair crop
is anticipated. Hopmen are not dis.
couraged by the uneven growth, and
are having the yards thoroughly hoed
and the more advanced hops twined.
Apples and other fruit, except prunes
and cherries, will yield abundantiy
The cherry crop will be very light in
all parts of the county, owing to the
late frosts. The prune crop will also
be less than normal. The prospects
were exceptionally good until visited
by the recent frost. Near Dayton anc
sections along the Willamette rivel
there will not be over a third of the
usual yield, while ON the prairie abou
half a crop is expected. In the more
protected sections there may be three
fourths of crop, but in no parts will
it be up to the normal output.

oregon STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
ALBANY BIDS FOR MILL.
Citizens Agree to Put Up Money to
Aid in Rebuilding,


Albany-A meeting of Albany's citi-
zens was he'd last week to consider the
question of taking somestep to secure
the rebuilding of the woolen mill of the
Bannockburn Woolen Mills company in
Albany. This is mill that was burned
about month ago, entailiing d loss of
$3.50
Among those who addressed the
meeting were: J. K. Weatherford,
Fred Dawson, P. II. Goodwin, E. W.
Langdon, F. j. Miller and Mayor W.
Fl. Davis. All favored purchase of
stock by Albany citizens, and several
volunteered to take blocks ranging in
value from $3.50 to 81 900. A COM
mittee was appointed to take charge of
the work, ascertain how much money
Albany people will put up to assist in
rebuilding the mill, what kind of
proposition the Bannockburn company
will entertain, if any, and report.
1t seems that Albany will be able to
subscribe enough stock in the Bannock-
burn company to rebuild the mill if
that company will put in the ma
chinery, and put the mill in working
order.

FETEs FOR RUSSIAN ARMY.
Easter is Celebrated With Religious
Services on the Field.

services on the REID.
Gunshu Pass, May 2. The Russian
army here celebrated its second Easter
in the field with the traditional re-
ligious services and observances. Spe-
cial Easter fetes were prepared for the
soldiers, giving them respite from
their usual duties wherever possible.
Information obtained from prisoners
and captured mails shows that the dis
position of the Jpanese army is as fol-
lows: General Nodzu, the region be-
tween Tie Pass and Kaiyuan; General
Oku, from Tie Pass westward of the
railway; General Kuroki, from Tie
Pass eastward of the railway; General
Nogi, from Fakoman to Changtufu; !;
General Kawamura, northwest of Muk-
den.
The weakest forces of the Japanese
are in the region about Mukden, while
the principal concentration is in the
region of Tie Pass. The flanks are
guarded by mixed bands of japanese
and Chinese bandits.

Texas Rivers are Swollen.

Houston, Tex, May 2.-Every river
in the state is swollen almost bank full
in the lower reaches, with more water
coming down. Grave fears are ex-
pressed that within the next 48 hours
the Brazos, the Colorado, the Guada-
loupe and the Trinity rivers will go out
of their banks with disastrous results
if there be any more rain. The smaller
rivers and creeks tributary to the rivers
named are also out over the lower bot
toms now, and as the water cannot be
discharged, there is already consider
able loss to the farmers.

TWELVE MINERS BURIED.

Big Explosion Wrecks Shaft of an
Oklahoma Coal Company.


Wilburton, Okla, May q Thirteen
miners were entombed and probably
killed by an explosion early today in
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Coal
company's mine No. 19 four miles west
of here. There is little prospect of
their bodies being recovered for several
days.
The men went into the shaft at mid
night. Foreman William Ray, Of the
shift that left the mine at that hour,
states that the mine was in good condi-
ton and a gas explosion was hardly
probable. His shift left a shot hang
ing which the new shift may have fred.
1t is suggested, from the force of the
explosion. which could be heard for
miles around, and which tore heavy
timbers aside and piled tons of dirt
into the shaft, that bad shot had set
off some dynamite which had been
stored conveniently for use in pushing
the work. The shaft is $50 feet deep,
and it was 800 feet to the place where
the men were working.
The men were supplied with air from
the shaft, and by means of compressed
air tubes. 1t is the general opinion
that the air pipe was burst by the ex-
plosion, but air has been steadily
pumped in all day, with the remote
hope that some of the entombed men
may have escaped the force of the ex-
plosion and the after-damp.

Rome, May 2.-While it is officially
stated that the purpose of Count Golu-
chowski in going to Venice was mainly
to return the visit which Foreign MIN
lister Tittoni made at AbbaZia in 1904,
there is high authority for the state
ment that the two foreign ministers
were moved by the desire to strengthen
the triple alliance by cementing the
friendship of Austria-Hungaria and
Italy and that they agreed on a COM
mon attitude for safeguarding the re-
clprocal interests of the two countries
in the Adriatic, Mediterranean and
Balkan states.
The Cretan question was discussed
and it was agreed that it is necessary
for the present to moderate the impa-
tience of the Cretans, who are desircus
of union with Greece. The ministers
reached an accord on Macedonia, de-
Gliding to acquit the proposal of Great
Britain for European control of Mace
donian finances, while application OF
| reforms will remain entrusted to Aus
tr1a and Russia, supported by an inter-
nal gendarmerie under command of an

Adams-John Pierce, breed
allottee, who resides two miles south of

tilla reservation land is capable of rails
ing more than wheat, although it is
not irrigated. Last year he set out less
than one half an acre of Hood River
strawberries, and although the plants
were less than year old, they bore
berries from June until November, the
heaviest crop being in June and Oc-
tober. This year he has set out more
plants, having now almost one acre.
All are in bloom and Mr.. Pierce ex-
poets to have ripe berries in two weeks
if the weather is favorable.

Excellent Crop Prospects

Pendleton-The reservation south
and east OF here presents the most
thrifty appearance and the prospects
are for the finest wheat crop in the his
tory of the county. South of Adams
the wheat is nearly knee high and of
dark green color, which indicates the
best of growing conditions. In a few
instances in the same locality the fields
are infested with tar weed, the pest of
the reservation. The great number of
these weeds is partly accounted for by
the fact that only combined harvesters
have been used for years.
