QUOTES HISTORIC INCIDENT
Russia Cries for Punishment of Me-
bogatoff for Surrendering.

poSaton TOR Surrenoering.
st. Petersburg, June 8. - Feeling in
the admiralty against Rear Admiral
Nebogatof continues to run high, the
majority of the naval authorities being
deaf to the appeals of the few who
insist that the admiral's action in sur
rendering his warships should not be
condemned until the circumstances
become fully known. The majority say
they could forgive anything but surren-
der and point to the precedent in the
case of the Russian ship Raphael,
which, in 1929, during the Russo
Turkish war, struck its colors to three
Turkish ships which surrounded it.
Nicholas meted out terrible punish
ment to the officers and crew of the
Raphael, ordering that all of them
should be shot after their exchange and
directing that, if the ship should ever
be recaptured, its infamous history
should be blotted out by the total de-
struction of the vessel. The Raphael,
strange to say, was recaptured "a years
later at Sinope during the Crimean
war, son of the captain who sur
rendered her taking part in the battle,
and to this son fell the task of execut-
ing the dead emperor's orders to de-
stroy her. Many naval authorities
claim. that the emperor should reserve
the same fate for Admiral Nebogatoff.

WANT SALARIES BY WARRANT
State Employees Dislike Certificates of
Allowance


Salem-At meeting held last week
the state employees decided to levy an
assessment upon themselves to. raise a
fund to defray the expense of hiring an
attorney to test the question whether it
is the duty of the secretary of state to
issue salary warrants on the first OF
each month. The assessment levied
was at the rate of 2 per cent on the
monthly salary.
John A. Carson was employed to con-
duct the mandamus proceedings, which
will probably be commenced this week,
after the monthly payroll has been pre-
sented to the secretary of state and he
has refused to issue warrant.
Secretary of State Dunbar takes the
position that it is his duty to proceed
under the general law and issue certif-
Gates of allowance for the reason that
no appropriation is available.
The employees contend that under the
Kay law, passed by the last legislature,
it is the duty of the secretary of state
to issue warrants for salary claims,
even though there be no appropriation
available. The difference to the en-
ployes is that if they receive certificates
of allowance they must discount them
at 10 per cent. A warrant would be
worth its face value.

and held a conference with Eugene
Bosse, the fax expert, and Mrs. W. P.
Lord, a fax enthusiast, in the reception
room of the Willamette hotel. AS a
result of the conference Mr.. .EStohr states
that he is convinced that quality of
fibre that cannot be excelled any place
else in the world can be grown in this
valley, and that everything from the
coarsest of twines and cordages, crash,
etc., to the very finest linens and laces
can be Manufactured from it.
He is also assured by Mr.. Bosse that
with the aid of new fax pulling ma
chine which is now in course of perfec-
tion and completion the raw material
can be produced quite as cheap, if moi
cheaper, than in the foreign countries,
and that the finished product could be
placed upon the market at such prices
that the foreign or eastern mills coulc
not compete with.
Mr.. Stohr collected great amount
OF reliable data concerning the industry
while here, and will carry it back tt
Chicago with him to make his report
He would not state what particular
action the Hartman system proposed
to take toward promoting the develop
ment of the industry, but he says i
the project looks feasible to the man
agement it will exert its influence
toward interesting Eastern capital tt
invest in the enterprise.

expressed it.
sThe people over there are connected
with us by SO many ties of friendship
and kindred that Americans can dis
tinguish little difference when they get
to know the English people. They
have our sympathies, too, and are our
warm advocates and friends. President
Roosevelt is as much a popular idol
over there as he is here.''

REACH MANILA.
Three Russian Vessels Reported Lost
Arrive Badly Damaged.

Manila, June s. Rear Admiral En-
quist, who was commander of the
heavy cruiser squadron of the Russian
fleet, arrived in the bay at 9 o'clock
this morning on board his flagship, the
protected cruiser Aurora, accompanied
by the protected cruisers Oleg and
Jemtchug. All the vessels were more
or less damaged and there were many
wounded men on board.
In an interview Rear Admiral En-
quist's executive officer said:
When the battle began the admiral
was aboard the Cruiser Oleg, which was
hit number of times by the large shot.
"The admiral transferred his flag
to the Aurora, which then drew the
combined fire of many torpedo boat
destroyers at close range and the attack
of submarines. We were overwhelmed
by the latter. A mist arising, we
made a dash for the open sea and were
followed by the Olege and Jemtchug.''

II feel much encouraged over the
outlook" said Mr.. Krebs, "and I
think there is no question that the
move will win. The letters have re-
ceived are from the principal growers
and represent the business element of
the industry, and when they recognize
the feasibility and practicability of the
scheme it only remains for others to
fall into line and the thing is done.

from Big Eddy to the lower terminus,
with 250 passengers trailing behind and
the first stage of quarter century's
dream = opening of the river for navi-
cation from Lewiston to the sea--had

Speechmaking preceded the driving
of the spikes, nor could the strong
wind that sung about the ears of the

BIG STRIKE IN OPP MINE.
Sacks of Ore are Taken Out Worth
$4,000 Ton.

Medford-When the first big strike
was made in the Opp mine, two weeks
ago, many people expressed opinions
that it was bunch and that the vein
would pinch out, as SO many other veins
have done in Southern Oregon. Events.
have proved, however, that if it is a.
bunch it is the biggest, richest and.
most extensive ever found on the Pacific
coast. Last week second strike,
somewhat smaller than the first one,
was made, and body of ore richer and
larger than both others has just been
uncovered, proving conclusively that
the Opp mine is one of the most prom
Using quartz gold mines ever discovered
on the coast.
Besides this extremely rich ore, they
are taking out large quantiti IS of high
grade free milling ore, and the width
and depth of the vein increases. The
first strike amounted to 20 sacks of ore
that was almost pure gold; the second
one consisted of five sacks of an esti-
mated value of 81 500; the third one,
the ore of which is considered richer
than either of the other two, consisted
of 40 sacks, already taken out, and
there remains an unknown quantity of
ore still in sight. This would make
the three strikes aggregate a value of
over $40, 1000.
Hon. H. E. Ankeny has visited the
mine and while there offered 81, 200 for
three pieces of ore weighing altogether
ITO ounces. The offer was refused.
At this price the ore would be worth
s133 pound, or 1896, 900 per ton.
