Oregon Irrigation Projects to Receive
New Impetus.

Washington, Jan. 10.-If plans form
ulated at a conference today between
Senator Fulton and F. II. Newell, chief
of the reclamation service, and his
assistants, J. B. Lippencott and Henry
N. Savage, shall be consummated ac-
cording to expectation, the government
will be able during the coming summer
to begin construction of two enormous
irrigation projects in Oregon, one in
the Klamath Basin, costing $1,000, 900
or more, the other on Malheur river,
costing $4,000, 900. Senator Fulton,
met the engineers to talk over the situ-
alton and ascertain just what is stand
ing in the way of construction of these
great works.
1t was agreed that three material OBJ!
stacles musta be removed before the
Klamath project can be formally adopt
ed, Notwithstanding it has already
been adjudged entirely feasible and de-
clared to possess many attractive feat
ures. This project proposes not only
to drain Lower Klamath and Tule
lakes, but to lower the level of Upper
Klamath lake and to diminish the flow
of Link and Lost rivers by diverting
their waters into irrigating canals. All
these waters are navigable and there
fore cannot be used for irrigation save
by special act of congress. To remove
this obstacle, Senator Fulton will CO.
operate with Senator Bard, of Cali
fornia, and endeavor to get the latter's
bill passed through both houses this
session. He anticipates that no objec.
tion will be raised.

New York in Grasp Of Storm Of
Ice and Snow
CLAIMS TOLL OF SEVEN LIVES
Many Persons, Benumbed With Cold,
Fall and Break Bones-Street
Cars >Blockaded.

New York, Jan. 6.-Not in several
years has New York been visited by a
storm of such proportions as that which
commenced yesterday and continued
until early today. Nine inches of
snow fell, paralyzing traffic, and
brought untold suffering to the city 8
poor. Seven deaths in New York and
vicinity were reported, while many
persons. overcome by cold, dropped to
the street, some of them fracturing
bones.
Five of the seven men who met death
from the results of the storm died from
exposure and another slipped on the
icy platform of an elevated station, fell
in front of an approaching train and
was ground to pieces. The seventh, a
conductor on the Pennsylvania rail-
road, blinded by the driving snow,
stepped in front of the Congressional
Limited train at South Amboy and
was instantly killed.
1t is estimated that the storm will
cost the New York city railway COM
pany over 100000.
Incoming ocean liners report biz
zard at sea.
Today 5000 men were put to work
clearing the streets of New York and
tomorrow the number will be doubled
The effects of the blizzard were felt
at most points along the New England
and Middle Atlantic coasts. So far nc
marine fatalities have been reported.
In New York city traffic of all kinds
was impeded, trolley lines were tied UP
and the streets, swept by gale driv-
ing before it fine snow that cut like
sand and piled in great drifts, were
practically impossible. Railroad trains
from all points were delayed from 8
few minutes to three hours, and the
elevated lines were operated with the
greatest difficulty, without regard tt
schedule. At sea the conditions mus
have been severe, but so far no disaster
has been reported.

lied to lease any lands proposed to be
utilized for irrigation works until they
are needed.

WILL BE SMALL.
River and Harbor Appropriation Bill
Will Be Cut.

Will Be Cut.
Washington, Jan. 10.-The river and
harbor committee has adopted the pol
icy of appropriating only for waterways
which are being partially improved at
state or municipal expense.
Representative Williamson today laid
before Chairman Burton long state
ment showing that the city of Portland
has expended up to December a total of
81, ,69S, 900 in channel improvements
from Portland to the sea, and that the
state of Oregon has appropriated $685.
900 for building portage road from
The Dalles to Cello and 100000 ad-
ditional for the purchase of right of
way for government canal between
these points.
In view of these large expenditures
Mr.. Williamson urged the committee
to deal literally with all Columbia
river projects.
The conference of Republican leaders
at the White House today, taken in
conjunction with the announcement of
Mr.. Burton, is taken to mean that there
will be little or no appropriation for
rivers and harbors at this session.
Before his conference with the Re-
publican leaders the president talked
over the situation with Mr.. Burton and
expressed in very forceful terms his
conviction that it would be wise, in
view of the depleted condition of the
treasury, to postpone the river and
harbor bill, and to expend any availa-
BILE surplus in carrying out a liberal
naval program. Mr.. Burton has not
yet abandoned the idea of passing a
river and harbor bill this session, and
his committee will go ahead with its
work, hoping to complete bill by the
end of next week. The bill, however,
will be small, and will provide only fol
the more important projects, cutting
out all small waterways which have nc
real commerce, and which are not sup
ported in any way by state appropria.
tions.
If such bill is brought in, it will
provide for the mouth of the Columbis
river-the river from Portland to the
sea-and for the Dalles-Celilo canal
and may possibly make some provision
for the acquisition of the canal an6
locks at Oregon City, provided the state
is willing to bear part of the expense
Aside from these items, however, there
seems at this tmie to be little prospec
that congress will do anything this ses
sion for the waterways of the Nortl
Pacific.

Ready to Mediate.

Washington, Jan. 5. - President
Roosevelt has decided that he will offer
his good Offices to bring about peace
between Russia and Japan whenever
either party to the conflict shall request
him to do SO. He has heretofore in
sisted that both parties must request
his good offices before taking any action.
This view has been modified SO that
either can secure his interposition by
asking it. The president does not
think any step in the direction of peace
will be taken in the immediate future,
probably two or three months.

When Peace Is Wanted, Roosevelt
Will Be Mediator.
ALL HAVE CONFIDENCE In HIM
: Europe Agrees Our President Will Be
Chosen to Bring About Peace
When Time Comes.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Japan has not
made overtures for peace to Russia, di-
rectly or indirectly, through the Unit
+. ed States or any other power, and con-
templated no such action, and now
that Port Arthur has fallen, purposes
to press the war in the North all the
more vigorously by reinforcing the jap
anese armies at Lao Yang with the
greater part of the troops which have
been besieging Port Arthur. This, in
brief, represents the views of Mr.. Ia
kahira, the Japaese minister.
"The fall of Port Arthur" said the
minister, ''is but step in the war
which Japan is waging for principle.
Certainly it is an important step, but
nothing could be further from the
truth than the assumption that, be-
cause Japan has captured stronghold,
the fall of which has long been expect
ed, the Japanese government will now
make overtures for peace. Japan is too
busy fighting. We are as much in ear
nest today as we were at the outset OF
the war. We have made no overtures
for peace, either directly or Indirectly,
nor have the powers approached us
with an idea of Intervention.
The Russian embassy reiterated that
Russia would fight all the harder in
view of the temporary loss of Port Ar
thur.
B Europe, it is learned, is firmly of the
conviction that. however dark the out,
look for peace at this moment, when
the prospect brightens, it is to Presi.
dent Roosevelt that the neutrals as
well as the belligerents, will look as
the Intermediary through whom peace
negotiations will be initiated. AS 6
European ambassador said today, the
American government is practically
the only government to which botE
belligerents will be willing to look fol
assistance in reaching a settlemeLt
when that time comes, and, aside from
this fact, the high personal regard il
which the president is held, both at St
Petersburg and at Toxic, makes it al
the more probable that through him
when Russia and Japan have Tough
their fight, the powers hope for peace.

DOES MUCH DAMAGE.
Disastrous Fire in Plant of Union Meat
Company at Portland.

Portland, Jan. 4-Fire ragged in the
plant of the Union Meat company,
Fourth aand -Glisan streets, from IL
last night to 8 this morning, complete
ly quitting the building Loss on the
structure, which was a three-story
brick, is estimated at 100000, and on
the contents $150,000. This is partly
covered by insurance.
Heated lard is believed to have start
ed the fire. The flames burst out on
the third floor, directly over the engine
room. When the fire was first discov-
cred by Night Engineer John Sleight,
the flames were leaping in every direc-
ton above and streams of ammonia
from the cold storage plant were drip
ping to the floors below.
Close to the Fourth street side of the
building, on track of the Southern
Pacific, stood several freight and refrig-
orator cars.
There was also car of fuel oil. 1t
stood where the flames were the hottest
and for more than an hour it was the
fear of the police and fremen that it
would explode aand deal death in every
direction.
The flames leaped and burned furi-
ously over sand around the oil tank, but
after an hour of heroic work the fire.
men succeeded in averting the danger
and saving the car of oil. Those who
had to fight close to the danger ground
breathed sigh of relief when they
drove back the flames and were able to
turn their attention to the building
proper.

SUBMARINES FOR JAPAN.
She Has Had Thirty Shipped From
Seattle in Sections.

Victoria, Jan. 9.-The steamer Kan
agawa Maru, which arrived today from
Japan, took cargo of submarine boats
on her last trip from Seattle. These
were shipped in sections. It is UNDER
stood that the japanese government
now has about 80 submarine vessels,
many of which are now ready for SER
vice. Others are being put together at
Kure. Some foreigners will assist to
man them.
Captain Orlan Cullen, inventor of
the Cullen ball-bearing gun, arrived on
the Kanagawa Maru, from Toxic, after
taking cargo of submarines and heavy
ordnance to Japan. He left Trieste in
November on an Austrian steamer via
Constantinople, having the guns mani
tested as agricultural implements.

No Time for Mediation.

Paris, JAM 6.-The official view here
continues to regard mediation between
Russia and Japan as impracticable.
The Temps, semi official, in leading
article, says: ''Russia will not consid-
er mediation at moment when her
self-esteem is suffering from the deepest
wound and before playing her strongest
card, namely, the concentration of an
overwhelming force under General Ku-
ropatkin.'' The same opinion is held
at the foreign office.

Russian Officers Go Home on Parole,
Privates Remain Prisoners.
London, Jan. 5.-The japanese lega-
tion yesterday published the terms of
the agreement which served as the
basis of the capitulation of Port Ar
thur. The agreement was signed by
the Russian and Japanese commission
ers, representing Generals Stoessel and
Nogi respectively, and later by the
commanders in chief themselves, the
final consummation of it taking place
in the evening of January 2.
The agreement consists of IL arti-
cles. Several of them are of purely
technical nature. The essential points
of the others are as follows: The en-
tire fortress, with it's surrounding forti-
fications, the ships still afoat in the
harbor and the wrecks of those sunk
and partly sunk, all arms sand ammu-
milton, the military buildings in the
fortress and forts as we'll as in the old
and new towns, together with all other
government property, are to be surren-
dered to the Japanese. The latter agree
to respect and duly investigate all pri-
vate rights and claims.
The japanese reserve the right OF
lot 70 al
restitution and indemnity in the event
of it becoming established that any
forts, ships or other property were de-
stroyed after the signatures had been
affixed to the agreement. Impartial
investigation of the reports alleging
such violation of the proprieties of the
surrender is promised, and the Rus.
slams agree to cooperate.
The plans of the forts still standing,
destroyed or in the course of construc.
ton, the stock of torpedoes and mines
the lists containing information in ref
erence to the placing of mines on lane
or sea within the confines of Port Ar
thur, as we'll as the lists with the
names of all military and naval officers
engaged in the late defense, are to b.
delivered without deductions and eras
ures to the Japanese.
The soldiers, sailors and volunteers
as we'll as the officials under Russian
jurisdiction, will become prisoners o
the Japanese. The officers and official
will retain their arms and private prop
erty, however, in accordance with tn,
expressed wish of the mikado, as rec
ogintion of their gallantry in defending
the fortress. These officers and official
are to be sent on parole to Russia.
! AS guarantee of good faith, tn
| forts at Itseshan and Antushan, togeth
er with other Notifications still stand
ing, are to be surrendered to the Jap
Ianese not later than noon of January 8

Crowds Cry for News.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 6. = The scenes
at the admiralty and war office today
were repetition of those of yesterday,
crowds of weeping women and children
vainly asking for lists of the survivors
of the Port Arthur garrison, which
could not be furnished. While the
Russian military law is imperative in
the requirement that the commander
of fortress who surrenders shall be
tried by court martial, the emperor
will undoubtedly order that this form
ality be dispensed with in the case of
General Stoessel.

AWFUL COST OF VICTORY.
Facts About Siege Cleaned From Rec
ords of Stoessei.

Chefoo, JAN g. = Some interesting
statistics concerning the defense of Port
Arthur were brought here by the flo
tilla of Russian torpedo boat destroyers
which carried numerous chests contain
ing complete records of General Stoes-
sells army.
Originally the army numbered 3d.
900. Eleven thousand have been
killed, 5000 are wounded or sick,
while 5000 remained in the forts, of
whom, however, 1000 were unable to
fight.
1t is learned that, when General
Stoessel wrote to General Nogi regard
ing the surrender of the fortress he
said:
81 have 5000 men in. the forts, and
5000 of these are able to fight. If you
do not accept my proposal these men
will die fighting, but it will cost you
three times their number to kill them. !"
During the siege 265 per cent of the
garrison were put out of action. This
men returning to the front. Cases
have been recorded where men have
gone to the hospital seven times, re-
turning convalescent to the forts.
The number of officers killed was
proportionately greaterf than in any
battle known to history. This was due
to the frequent lethargic condition of
the men, who, without food and with
out sleep, moved only when led by
their officers. The Russians estimate
that the taking of the fortress has cost
Japan 500, 900, 900.

TO FORTlFY AGAIN.
Japan Already Has Men and Material
for Port Arthur.

Chefoo, Jan. 9.-General Nogi is pre-
pared, through agents who have been
recruiting for months, to put horde of
Chinese coolies at work in the reforti-
flying of Port Arthur Immediately that
the Russians are disposed of. Vast
quantities of cement and timber are
ready on the Yalu river for this pur-
pose, while steel plates and other man.
ufactured necessaries are ready in Japan
for transportation to the fortress.
The Japanese are confident that the
refortifying of Port Arthur will place
it in better condition than ever.
