Washington. Aug. 2l--lmports into
Russia over the European frontier du'
ring the past four months of the cal'n'
dar year have fallen off 27.S per cent "S
compared with imports during the cor
responding period in 1904. Exports du'
ring the same period are I.26 percent IN
excess OF 1904. These figures are taken
from the Russian official trade returns
lust received at the department OF COM
merce and labor. The heaviest decrease
of imports were under the general heads
of raw and semi, manufactured materials
md Iphtese under the head OF manutac
lures.
The decrease in imports is distributed
from equally among the various conn'
tries that have been supplying Russia
with articles of manufacture or con
sumption. From Germany the decrease
was about 20 per cent, the United King
dom 80 per cent and France almost VI
per cent. The latter trade discrlmina
tion i. explained by the fact that the
imports from France have been COM
posed to larger extent OF articles OF
Immediate consumption and luxmies.
Owing TO the considerable shrinkage
in the quantity and value OF raw cotton
imported, the total imports credited tt
the United States and Egypt during the
four months show even heavier decreases
! Thus, imports OF cotton from the United
States have fallen about SO per cent II
value from $l5,346O00 in 1904 to S6,isl,
900 in 1905 and IS per cent in quantity
from 1876 millions OF pounds to 6o.'

ports credited to this country have de
creased abont 4G per cent from Sl0,S9o,

The imports from Egypt, almost al

hibited.
Licenses. 1t is unlawful for any person
10 hunt in this state without having
first procured from the County clerk
OF one of the counties of the state
a license therefor. which license the hun
ter must have with him, and in his pos
ession at the time of hunting. 4 license
procured in any county is good for the
entire state. All licenses expire on Dec
ember 81 OF each year. Fees: For resi-
dents. 81: for non-residents, $40. The
law SAYS: No license shall be required
of a man or members OF his own family
for permission to hunt upon his own
lands" Therefore beware of hunting
beyond the boundaries of your own lnnd
without having procured license.
Seasons.
Spotted Fawn--Closed at all times.
Elk-Closed until Sept Is, 1907.
Buck Deer-Closed between November
of each year and August 18th of the fol-
lowing year.
Female Deer-Closed between Novem'
Der ! of each year and September l OF

Tags-Any person lawfully killing
deer during the open season, not to ex'
ceed five deer, must make an affidavit
before any justice OF the peace, setting
forth the killing OF each deer and that
the same were killed by the afiiant. The
Justice of the peace thereupon issues to
| the affiiant one leather tag for each deer
These tags must be securely fastened
with wire, one tag to each deer skin
The tags are issued to the county clerk
by the state game warden, and are by
them distributed to the justices of the
peace.
1t is evident from the foregoing as tho
law now stands, that the tags cannot be
issued before the deer have been killed
and it is useless to apply for them unit
that time.
No tags can be issued after the expra
ton of five days from the close Of thu
open season
The making of false affidayits is Sc
verely punished.
The possession of the tags regularl!
and lawfully issued, entities the owne

A Touching Story

girl of Geo. A. Eyler, Cumberland, Md.
He writes: "At the age of II months.
our little girl was in declining health,
with serious throat trouble, and two
physicians gave her up. We were al.
most in despair, when we resolved to
try DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, Coughs and Colds. The first
bottle gave relief. After taking four
bottles she was cured, and is now in
perfect health" Never fails to relieve

While everything points to the dis
ruption of the peace negotiations at
Portsmouth, we are sanguine as to the
results of President Roosevelt's efforts
to bring about a reconciliation. Mr.
Roosevelt has forced his way to a po-
sition where he enjoys the admiration
of the entire world; his options are not
only respected but solicited and it Is
reasonable to believe his plea for the
preserving of amicable relations between
the emissaries of Russia and Japan will
be received with more Difference thar
would be those of any other ruler.

Pigmy President Castro has placed Or
ders in Europe for torpedo boats, guns
and ammunition at a cost OF about 81
100000. This formidable array of
armament he will use to fight the Yam
KEGS. He is said to have remarked that
he will not permit the emissary OF
President Roosevelt to enter Venezuela.
Primarily we are at loss to perceive
from what source Castro will obtain
this two million dollars; from the poor
mouth he has repeatedly put forth when
pressed for the settlement of the claims
Of Germany, or Great Britain or half a
dozen other countries we are inclined to
believe he has discovered something
along the lines of "open Sesame" or he
has hypnOtized some European country
into extending credit, we can only say it
will soon become necessary for Uncle
Sam to take this troublesome South
American across his knee and spank him
real hard. No fears need arise as to a
call for volunteers being issued. The
smallest torpedo boat in the American
navy can take care Of Castro.

STANDARD OIL SALARIES.
Are Comparatively smaII-RockefeIIer
Gets $4,000.


A definite statement has been made
on Wall street that John D. Rockefel-
Ter received only $4,000 a year as
president of the Standard Oil COM
pany, in which he. owns capital stock
to the amount of $40,000,000, and
which has a market value of $24S,0O0,-
900. To this statement was added an
other, that few employees of the Stan
dard Oil company received much more
than $4,000 a year.
AS most executives in the company,
however, have grown to be million
aires within the last Is years, it is
supposed the valuable advice they get
for investments and the opportunities
they have of getting in on the ground
floor of corporations and enterprises
in which the Standard Oil group of
financiers figure, have more than COM
pensated them for the small salaries
they have received from the economi-
cal administration of the great monop-
oily.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Rockefeller's
small salary, it is said his total income
is between $3S 100000 and $40,000,000
a year.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

Adelbert B. Clark, president and
manager of the Fair department store
in Bellingham, was drowned Sunday
by the capsizing of small boat while
he was fishing in Silver lake, 80 miles
east of here. He was one of the lead
ing citizens and business men of north
west Washington.
A fatal accident occurred west of
Elma, as the Grays Harbor train was
coming in. Miss Magdalane Delaca-
tone, formerly resident of Olympia,
was walking beside the track with a
raised umbrella. Wind from the pass
ing train turned the umbrella wrong
side out. In bracing back to hold the
umbrella she was hit on the head by
a mail car step and killed instantly.
The Spokane & Inland, the Occur
d'Alene & Spokane and the Spokane
Traction company, the Graves lines,
have signed a 10 year contract with
the Washington Water Power COM
pany for power and will not develop
their own power at Nine Mile bridge,
as was planned. The Graves people
were compelled to tie up to the 10
year contract in order to secure the
retirement of the Spokane Southern
Traction company from the field.

COLORADO TOWNS
Went DEMOCRATIC

Denver, Col, April 5. - A demo-
cratic landslide struck Colorado where
the municipal elections were held Tues
day in all cities and towns excepting
Denver. In Pueblo, Colorado Springs,
and Leadville, normally republican,
the democratic tickets were successful,
in the latter case the first time in 20
years. I In the smaller towns, where
the party lines were drawn the demo-
Gratis won, the notable exceptions be-
ing Cripple Greek, Victor, Golden and
Cetral City. A vigorous fight was
MADE in Northern Colorado towns and
also on the western slope, against sa-
looms, and in only one instance, that
of Montrose, was the liquor element
victorious. Heavy roads, due to the
recent rain storms, caused light vote
to be polled,.

LONGEST TUNNEL IN WORLD.
Swiss and Italian Trains Meet in
Center.

Center.
Rome.-The Simplon tunnel. the
longest in the world, was inaugurated
Sunday morning, when from the Swiss
and Italian sides the first trains pass
ed through, meeting at the, center
where was the iron door which origin
ally prevented the overflow OF tor
rent of hot water, and which was Sun
day opened for the first time.
The weather at the entrance to the
tunnel was springlike, though the
mountains were covered with snow,
but once inside the tunnel the tenn
perature became very high. Engi-
aeer Bradau, who had directed the
work in the tunnel, conducted the
Italian train, which, part of the way,
was lighted by miners with lanterns.
The train from the Italian end was
the first to reach the iron door, but a
little later the train from the Swiss
side was heard on the other side of
the door.
There was brief time spent in COM
municating through the door by means
of hammering, and finally the door was
knocked down amid frantic excite
ment, with cries of Long live Swift
erland," and Long live Italy" Bands
played the Italian royal march and
the Swiss anthem, and the two parties
embraced and kissed each other.
Engineer Bradau shook hands with
Engineer Rosemund, the director of
the work on the Swiss side, and the
Italian bishop, Noverara, embraced
the Swiss bishop, Sien. The latter then
preached short sermon, in the course
of which he said:
'The church blessed progress"
In the name of God he then blessed
the tunnel.

ton of the sunken battleships in Port
Arthur harbor, and is responsible for
the statement that the Japanese decla-
rations that nearly all of the sunken

He says that the Japanese would be
lucky if they can save the Poltava,
Peresviet and Pallada, with just a
chance that the Bayan can be raised.
The Retvizan will never be of any
further service and the damage to
the Pobieda is so great that, even if
they succeed in raising that vessel, it
is extremely doubtful if she will be
serviceable.

DUKES FOR PEACE

st. Petersburg, April ga meeting
of all of the members of the, grand
ducal circle was held in the palace of
the Grand Duke VIsadimir, at which
the czar was present and at which the
question Of war or peace was thorough
ly discussed.
A majority of those present favored
the beginning of peace negotiations,
but the Grand Duke Vladimir and his
intimate associates stated that in their
opinion it would be Tar better to con-
tinuethe fighting at least for the pres
emit. This view apparently met the
approval of the czar, who, in an i'm
passionate speech, declared that he
could not conceive how any Russian
would be willing to abandon the filed
to an army that could yet be conquered.
Another conference is planned for
the near future.
The newspaper Slove, which is usu-
ally inspired by the Grand Duke Alex
ander Michaelovitch, prints an article
in which it sets forth the necessity for
immediate peace in order to give Rus
STA time for the preparation.of new
and successful campaign. The news
paper declares that Russia must ulti-
mtaely defeat Japan. retake Port Ar
thur, reestablish her mastery of the
Pacific, and this she can not do except
as the result of new and entirely
fresh slIuggle.
