PEACE PROPOSAL
AGREED TO
Japanese and Russian Delegates to
Discuss the Terms.
PRESIDENTS MOVE A TRIUMPH

Washington June 12.-In response TO
President Roosevelt's note urging them
to stop the war, Japan and Russia have
notified the Washington government
that they have decided to appoint dele
gates who will discuss the question of
peace.
The meeting of these delegates will
be arranged by President Roosevelt,
and it will occur either in Washington
Or between the battle lines in Man.
churia. If it takes place in the war
zone probably Field Marshal Oyama
and General Linevitch will be the plen-
ipOtentiaries. If Washington is Sc
lected the Russian ambassador and the
Japanese minister will represent the
two powers. II they are able to reach
a preliminary agreement protocol
will be made and the next step will be
the negotiation of a treaty OF peace,
which will probably be made in Wash
| ington and named the treaty of Wash
| ingtOn.
| The president has accomplished his
whole purpose In securing an agree
ment for a preliminary discussion, and
his success is hailed throughout Europe
as a diplomatic triumph of the first
| magnitude. There is nothing further
that he can do except to beg Japan to
be merciful toward her defeated foe.
| Before the responses Of the Russian
, and japanese governments are pub
lished here, they will be transmitted
| formally by the president-the Japa-
nese note to the st. Petersburg govern
ment and the Russian note to the gov
ernment at Toxic. Up to this time,
thev have not been thus forwarded.
The transmission of the notes will con-
clude the preliminary negotiations Tor
peace initiated by the president and
practically will conclude this govern
ment's work in those negotiations.
Officially informed that the response
to the presidents appeal is favorable,
it will remain for the Russian and jap
anese governments to effect an ar
rangement for a temporary armistlce,
pending a direct discussion of terms
for permanent peace. Information re-
ceived here both in governmental and
diplomatic quarters indicates that ia
pan will suggest where the first meet
ing of the representatives OF the bel
ligerent powers will take place and that
Russia will accede to that suggestion
At the preliminary meeting, it is the
understanding that Japan will indicate
the terms on which the emperor would
be willing to conclude a permanent
peace. The terms then will be trans
mitted direct to the Russian govern
ment, the question of their acceptance
or rejection then lying with the Rus
sian emperor. Later, at meeting o.
plenipotentiaries of the two powers
the details of treaty of peace will b'
considered. This formal peace confer
ence, the probabilities now are, will b.
held in Washington, both OF the bel
ligerents favorably regarding this cap
ital as a place for the drafting an,
signing of treaty of peace.

Island of Sakhalin, over which Japan

"Stories Of Old Oregon" is the
title of a new book that has just
made its appearance, and which has
occasioned much favorable comment
locally. 1t is from the pen of Hon.
George A. Waggoner, and com
prises we'll told tales Of pioneer
days. For the most part, the stor-
les are from real life, polished
up some times with an occasional
dash of poetical fancy. In all, the
details are depicted in a clear, in

ment that bring the reader face to
face with the situation so vividly
that the interest is extreme until
the end of the narrative is reached.
The style is extremely and pleas
urably original, and the subject
matter occupies a field widely
removed from any Oregon literature
that has hitherto appeared. The
book deserves a place at every Ore
gon fresfde, not because it is mere
ly an Oregon product, but for the
better reason that it is an attractive
narrative of incidents of the early
Oregon country, told in a way not
to be found otherwhere.
The publication is meeting with
large sale, over 900 copies hav-
ing already been sold in Corvallis.
