fighting, but it will not go into effect
until the actual peace treaty is signed.
The Russians are plainly displeased
at the stand taken by the japanese.

culous contention. but we were fore
ed to yield"
The explanation of the Japanese de-
mand that the armistice should not
be effective until after the treaty is
signed is that it limited the armis-
tice which prevents actual hostilities,

Considerable alarm, though little
damage, was caused this forenoon by
fire on the hillside at the south end
of Main street As result of the
blaze the cabin of "Blinky Jim" Will
liams was destroyed and several acres
Of stubble and grass burned.
The fire was started during the lat
ter part of the forenoon from a bon
fire made by the Chinaman employed
at the home of ]. r. Dickson. Some
papers were being burned by the serv-
ant, and the fire evidently got beyond
his control. The blaze quickly spread
to the dry grass and stubble and in a
short time had covered quite an area.
The Williams cabin, which is on Mr..
Dickson's property, was fired and de-
stroyed. While II was burning It
made quite a blaze, and from lower
Main street 1t looked as though the
fire might prove serious.
However, no building OF any kind
aside from the cabin, was caught In
the fire. though for while the Coles
worthy residence on the east side Of
Main street, was in considerable dan
ger from the fire in the stubble. While
the fire was going the residents of
that portion of town we're very un-
easy lest some of the dwelling houses
should catch fire and n general blaze
result All who could, worked at
fighting the fire in the stubble. and
after some time II was extinguished.
Some fence was also burned.
Had the fire been allowed to burn
in the stubble and extend over the
hill considerable stacked wheat would
probably have been burned. As it was,
the loss consists OF the cabin and ef-
fects of "Blinky Jim" the burned
fence and grass No alarm was turn
ed during the fire, though many of
the women of the neighborhood
wished to have such done.

from quality.
Everything in all departments of

balances in our history, and the larg-

CONTRACT LET FOR WOODCRAFT TEMPLE

Mrs. C. C. Van Orsdail, grand guar
dian of the Women of woodcraft, who
is one OF a committee OF four having
charge of the details of the erection
of the new building for the Order in
Portland, informs the East Oregonian
that all the principal contracts for
construction have been let, the aggre-
gate amount of the contracts let being
something over $4,000.
Minor contracts for details will, it
is estimated, aggregate between $4,000
and $4,000. The foundation is COM
pleted, and the super-structure will
be commenced this week The con-
tracts provide for the completion of
the building by January l.

ARRANGEMENTS are now being made
by the Open River ASSOCIATION to Sc
cure boats to handle the traffic OF the
Columbia river above Cello, and
definite announcement regarding the
schedule will be made within a very
short time" said ]. N. Teal, to the
East Oregonian this morning. Mr..
Teal, who is attorney for the Open
River association, arrived here this
morning and has been attending to
business matters during the day.
According to Mr. Teal three boats
will probably be put on the run above
the portage. OF these one is a small
steamer and is owned by Messrs.
Smith & Mariner, officers of the as
ISOLATION. II is intended for this boat
TO operate between Arlington and the
portage, On which run there is
thought TO be sufficient business to
keep 1t busy.
Another steamer that will likely be
placed on the run is the Jerome,
which is now at Kennewick, Wash.
However. definite arrangements have
not yet been made regarding this boat.
Concerning the third steamer Mr.. Teal
declined to speak, as II has not yet
been secured for sure.
The above boats are to be run in
dependently by their respective own
ers, according to Mr.. Teal. and will
not be operated In the name OF the
Open River association. However.
the general arrangements are being
made with people owning boats on the
lower river whereby the freight
20 the portage by the upper river
boats will be handled by those below.
While most of the business at first
will necessarily consist of the carrying
OF wheat, the boats will all be fitted
to accommodate passenger business
also. and what traffic of that nature
appears will be cared for.
As to the rate to be charged for
wheat and other classes or freight no
schedule has yet been arranged. How
ever. there is to be charge Of 25
cents per ton on wheat that is carried
over the portage, and Mr.. Teal says
that the through rate by water to
Portland will be such as to come un-
der the railroad rate now in force.
The latter was lowered 40 cents per
ton a short time ago, presumably to
meet the boat competition.
In the opinion of Mr.. Teal, who has
given considerable attention to the
matter of transportation along the Co.
lumbia, there will soon be a number
of short railway lines running to the
river from various places In Washing
ton and Oregon. These, he holds to
be needed in order to carry the wheat
from inland sections to the river with
out relying upon the larger railroad
companies. He believes that q line
running from the Horse Heaven coun-
try to the Columbia would be q sue
cess and will be built some day.
