DEAD BY THOUSANDS.
Whole Towns Destroyed by Recent
Indian Earthquake.

Calcutta, April 10. = Telegraphic
communication with Dharmsala has
been restored. The latest accounts
show that the earthquake was even
more disastrous than at first believed.
OF total population of nearly 5000 in
the town of Kangra, it is believed that
only 500 are lett alive. Many of these
have fed.
Of the police only deputy inspector
and four sergeants are alive. Many
people are still imprisoned in the ruins.
Dharmsala, Kangra, Palanpur, Dha-
wan and all of the neighboring villages
were completely wrecked. Scarcely a
building remains standing. Not much
damage was done at Haripur, Deragopi-
pur, Nadaum or Hamirpur.
Suyanpur, having population Of
about 5000 souls, is reported to be in
ruins.
The shocks still continue. There is
no news from Kulu valley. According
to native rumors, a great amount oi
damage has been done. An official dis
patch from Dharmsala says the place il
scene of desolation. Owing to the
scarcity of labor, great difficulty is ex
perienecd in excavating the ruins, bu
the Goorkhas are doing excellent work

PUT NO TRUST IN MINES
Fortification Experts Favor Subma-
rines for Coast Defense.


Newport, R. l., April 1.-The third
committee of the fortifcation board, of
which Admiral Charles N. Thomas, U.
S. n, is chairman, is devoting special
attention to the dangers incident to the
use of submarine mines, and it is
learned that emphasis will be placed on
the advantage of substituting submar-
inc boats for mines for harbor defense.
Discussing this subject, member of
the committee said today:
"Mines cannot be relied on in times
of war. Trials given submarines in
Narragansett bay resulted unsuccess-
fully, due chiefly to the strong currents
which sweep through the harbor and
entrances to the bay and make these
defenss extremely dangerous. This is
one of the important subjects that the
fortifcation board has already taken MP
and will thoroughly examine during
the inspection of Notifications and the
land and floating defenses.
"The established fact that number
of the Russian warships were blown up
by their own submarine mines, and the
present practice in England of dis
carding submarine mine defenses to g
great extent in harbors where there are
wide channels to defend and where the
tides are strong, and placing there sub
marine boats, has added to the senti
ment in favor of replacing mines with
boats"

NO EIGHT-HoUR LAW ON CANAL
European Nations Will Appoint En-
gineers to Advise Commission.

Washington, April 11.-Chief En-
gineer Wallace, of the Isthmian canal
commission, had an interview with
Secretary Taft today, in which the con-
ditions on the canal were discussed.
Afterwards Mr.. Wallace met those
members of the commission who are in
the city. As to the right of the COM
mission to employ labor for more than
eight hours per day, there is belief
that the eight-hour law does not apply
to the canal zone.
Chief Engineer Wallace says that it
would very seriously impede work to
have the eight-hour law in effect dur
ing the construction of the canal. It
would be impossible to make uniform
hours for all labor, because some labor
must be employed IL hours, while 10
hours is the rule for most of the work
ingmen.
The session of the canal commission
today was devoted to an explanation of
existing conditions on the isthmus, en-
gineering and otherwise. by Chief En-
gineer Wallace, who attended the meet
ing as a commissioner for the first time.
Chairman Shonts is expected to be
present at the meeting tomorrow.

JAPANESE EQUALLY CONFIDENT
Believe Russian Fleet Has Secret Base
in Pacific Ocean.


Toxic, April 11.-Vice Admiral Ro-
jestvensky's second Pacicfi squadron
has not been reported since it passed
Singapore. Its whereabouts and the
plans of Rojestvensky are subjects of
the keenest speculation.
1t is quite generally assumed that
Rojestvensky does not desire an imme-
diate battle and that he will attempt
to reach Vladivostok, where there are
docks and shops, or seize base. The
latter course is deemed unsatisfactory,
on account of poor facilities and the
danger of political complications.
Many believe that the Russian naval
commander has second rendezvous in
the Pacific ocean, and that he will
speedily quit the China sea and go
eastward of the Philippines. If Vladi-
vostok is his objective, the Pacific is
considered to be more favorable for the
accomplishment of his purpose, al
though it largely depends on Rojest-
vensky himself.
The Japanese newspapers and public
express relief and pleasure over the ap-
proach of the Russian squadron, and
confidence that Togo will win.

CAVALRY is RAIDING.
Russian Bands Roam Around Enemy's S
Flanks and Rear.

Harbin, April 10. - Detachments of
Russian cavalry are actively reconnoi-
tering the japanese fanks and even the
rear. One detachment of them has
even penetrated to Erdakilzie, where
it was brought to a stop by japanese
entrenchments. Before retiring, how
ever, it is said they succeeded in cut
ting the railroad and burning the depot
and stores.
The detachment brought back news
that fortnight ago a mixed japanese
division of 10, 900 men with artillery
left the Japanese rear and disappeared
into Mongolia and was followed few
days ago by another detachment of s.
900 men. These troops are expected to
appear in the region of Bodum, which,
unfortunately, is connected with the
base by only poor roads. Kir1n is ID
the same plight, and the loss OF the
narrow gauge rolling stock abandoned
at Mukden is especially felt.
Chinese report that the Japanese are
energetically transporting siege guns
toward Kirin.
A heavy snow fell again Friday, but
it is melting and swelling the rivers.
As an indication of the popularity Of
the old veteran, General Linievitch, he
is receiving hundreds of kilograms Of
congratulation on his appointment as
commander in chief.

NO HOPE OF TARIFF REWsioN.4
Hansbrough Says Next Session Win
c. Be Devoted to Rate Question.

Washington, April IL. - Senator
Hansbrough, of North Dakota, a strong
advocate of readjustment of the tariff,
believes that the chance of tariff revis-
ion has passed and that nothing will be
done in the immediate future looking to
the readjustment of the Dingley rates
to meet changing conditions. While
Mr.. Hansbrough is a strong protection
ist, he believes the existing tariff
should be readjusted, but he has come
to the conclusion that the stand-patters
have convinced the president that no
revision is necessary.
He thinks the postponement of the
extra session until October 15 put an
end to all chance of tariff revision. 1t
is his opinion, and the view is shared
by many other men in Washington,
that a session called to meet October IL
for the purpose of passing railroad
rate bill will not find opportunity to
consider another such weighty topic as
the tariff. He declares that congress
will consume the time from October Is
to December l in organizing commit
tees and getting ready for actual work.
He furthermore believes that the two
or three weeks preceding the holiday
recess will be wasted on some pretext
or other, and that congress will not get
down to business before the second
week in January. In his opinion it
will be easy enough to drag out the dis
cussion of the railroad rate bill through
the entire long session, leaving no time
for consideration of tariff bill. This
being the situation, as he sees it, Mr.
Hansbrough has abandoned all hope o1
having the tariff revised.

Reseeding Done in Wasco.

The Dalles-Farmers whose crops
we're damaged by the severe weather of
February have about finished reseeding,
and the new-sown grain is coming up
nicely. 1t is estimated that about ten
per cent of the fall-sown grain in the
county froze out, and had to be reseed-
ed. This has been heavy expense on
those whose grain was frozen, and as
spring sowing never yields as good
crops as fall sowing, unless the season
is unsuually favorable, the wheat crop
this year will be somewhat shorter
than that of 1904, although, so far, the
weather has been most favorable, and
crops are making an excellent growth.
The season is at least month earlier
than last year, which will enable the
gardeners and orchardists to market
their crops early, and thereby get the
advantages of high prices that always
prevail early in the season.

WEST TO DIG CANAL.
Chairman Shonts Says 1t vii, Furnish
the Right Men.


the Right Men.
Chicago, April 10. = Western men
are to have long leeway allowance in
the selection of capable engineers and
contractors for the work of the Panama
canal. Not that there is going to be a
sectional discrimination in selecting
the subordinates who serve under the
new canal commission, but, as Chair
man T. P. Shonts said today:
''We wish to employ the men who
have practical knowledge of direct con-
struction work, who can do the best and
most effective work for the government
in the shortest reasonable time and for
the best legitimate price and I love
western men.
81 had intended to make certain ap.
pointments before my departure for the
East, but for purely business reasons
have decided to hold them of. I leave
for New YORK tomorrow, and from there
60 to Washington. to be with the com
mission until such time in the near fu
ture as can leave for Panama.
In selecting superintendents, fore
men, engineers and the other skilled
labor to be employed ON the canal, W.
! will dig up the man that can think
act and do honestly IN the best way TO
the best interests of the United State
government. We want the practica
man who has had construction expert
ence. And Western men in railwa,
work have had this"

Salem-'The people of Marion coun-
ty will contribute 10000, SIS, ,000 or
perhaps as much as $20, 600 in labor
for the improvement of the public roads
this SUMNER said County Judge
Scott, as he finished preparing num-
ber of blank agreements for use in road
districts where the property owners are
circulating subscription papers.
ttThe county court has decided to
spend it's surplus road funds in those
districts where the people contribute
work, and it is very evident that this
year will see more progress in road
building than in any previous year in
the history of Marion county. Our plan
is to use what money is necessary in
the building of bridges, and in the re-
pair of roads in a few places where
county work is of immediate necessity,
and the balance of the fund will be di.
vided among the districts. We do not
know yet what rate of distribution viii
be adopted, but the amount distributed
will be enough to encourage the enter.
prise of the people in road building by
contributed work"
In the immediate vicinity of Salem
work to the amount of at least $1,000
will be done, and it will probably muct
exceed this amount. The business
men of Salem have subscribed $4,000
and the county court $500 more, ant
to this the farmers will add 81 200 O
more in contributed work. In nearl,
every part of the county agreement
are in circulation for the purpose of as
certaining what donated work can b
secured. The initiative has been takel
by the farmers, and the county court
giving whatever help and encourage
ment it can to the movement.

Federal Grand Jury Has Secrets
Of Beef Trust.
BOOKS GARFIELD Did NOT FIND
Chicago Inquisitors Dive Into Eight
Trunks Containing Story of
Packers Dealings.

Chicago, April 1.-THE contents of
eight mysterious trunks, unearthed by
government secret service men in the
vaults of the National Safe Deposit
company, occupied the attention today
of the Federal grand jury which is in
vestigating the affairs of the beef trust.
A subpoena duces tecum for Daniel
Peckham, secretary of the safe deposit
company, was issued by Judge Landis
to force the company to produce the
trunks in the jury room. The trunks
were taken to the office of District At
torney Morrison, where, it is said,
they were opened and their contents
examined.
What the trunks contained and what
connection they have with the case is
not known, as the government officials
refuse to discuss the matter, declining
to either deny or confirm the explana-
tion current that the trunks might be-
long to- the packers.
District Attorney Morrison institut-
ed the action by which the trunks were
seized after witness, whose identity is
carefully guarded, had startled the
grand jurors with revelations as to the
former business methods Of the pack
ers. He is said to have testified that a
double system of bookkeeping had been
employed by certain packing firms, one
set of books showing the secret relations
of the alleged combine and being ae-
cessibe only to trusted employees, and
the other set showing figures to which
the packers invited the attention of the
government experts who investigated
for Commissioner Garfield.
While Mr.. Peckham declined to dis
close the identity of the person or per-
sons who stored the trunks with his
company, he admitted that this was
done on March %, three days after the
grand jury began its Investigations.
Suspicious have been entertained for
long time by the Federal officials con-
nected with the investigation that the
readiness with which the packing firms
welcomed an examination of their
books by the government experts was
not altogether genuine. The work OF
the secret service operators produced
:. results, it is said, which tended to
strengthen these suspicious, and when a
witness who testified more than week
ago let drop the hint that Commission
er Garfeld's experts had not seen all
the books of the packers, he was called
upon to explain.

Their appearance outside the roadsted
of Vladivostok will constitute poten-
tial threat against Admiral Togo's rear
which will compel the retention in OF
dispatch of a number of fighting ships
to Japanese waters. Thus Admiral
Togo seems to be actually placed be-

CANAL DEED is CLEAR NOW
No Further Obstacles to Construc.
ton of Cut by Government.


Salem-The Cello canal commission,
composed of the governor, secretary of
state and state treasurer, has signed the
deed conveying to the United States
the right of way for the construction of
a government canal between The Dalles
and Cello.
At the request of the government
officials, the state has several times
made corrections in conveyances in
order to remove defects from the chain
of title, and now the commission feels
confident that the title is perfect and
that there is nothing, so far as the
right of way is concerned, to prevent
the government from proceeding with
the construction of the canal.
The canal right of way cost the state
$4,000.
The Portage Railway commission,
which is composed of these same Off
