Engine Sparks Start Fires.

Pendleton- Many farmers who have
lands adjoining the railroad, especially
the Pendleton-Spokane branch, are
blowing and clearing the weeds from
the right of@way along their fields to
protect their grain from fires started
by sparks from passing locom otives.
The dry grass along the track is already
beginning to burn and the ripening
wheat fields are in imminent danger
from fires. The farmers are also bene-
fitting themselves by plowing along the
fences other than protecting themselves
from fire as the numerous ground
squirrels burrow along the fences under
the weeds and trash that accumulate.

JAPANESE LAND ON sAkHALEh.

Terms of Peace.

Terms OF Peace.
st. Petersburg, July 10.-A landing
of Japanese troops on the island of SAX
halin was officially reported tonight,
and startles military circles in st. Pet
ersburg, though it has been realized
since the defeat of Admiral Rojestven-
sky that the Japanese were able to take
possession of the island as soon as they
thought fit. The strength Of the land
ing force cannot be ascertained, but the
garrison of the island is too weak to
offer an effective resistance.
Though the japanese seem unwilling
to risk a grand battle with General
Linievitch, pending the peace meeting
at Washington, the landing of troops
on Sahkalin is considered to express
Japan's decision regarding the formal
conclusion of a general armisticer
namely, that in the interim before the
meeting it is necessary to occupy the
island whose possession is an important
card in Japan's diplomatic contest at
Washington.

FRUIT IN GOOD CONDITION.
Yield Will Not Be Large, But Quality
Will Be Above Average.

Fruit conditions are now favorable
throughout Oregon. While as general
thing no fruit will yield record break
ing crop, the quality of the fruit bids
fair to be good and the yield will be
satisfactory from the market stand
point. Apples in all parts of the state
will yield only half crop, but on ac-
count of this very fact the fruit will be
of much better quality and a more
marketable product than were it full
crop and the trees heavily loaded.
In the eastern part of the state,
peaches, pears, prunes and plums will
all yield crop full. In Southern Ore
gon and the willamette valley, either
of which sections produces more fruit
than Eastern Oregon, prunes and
plums will yield 70 per cent of a crop,
peaches about 80 per cent, and pears
half a crop. These figures are based
upon careful estimates and are reliable
Cherries are everywhere yielding about
rs per cent of full yield, while small
fruits are yielding full crop in al
parts of the state.
Growers and dealers figure on 120,.
600 bales as Oregon's probable hoK
yield for 1905. This is an increase oi
one-third over last years yield. A part
of this estimated increase is due to 8
larger acreage, but the crop is at least
so per cent better in amount of growth
now than at this time last year. The
foliage is very heavy, and the hops arr
blossoming out now in splendid shape
Of course, everything hinges on climat
ic conditions, and the estimate of 100,
600 bales, which will be the larges
crop Oregon has ever produced, is basee
upon the supposition that weather con
ditions will be favorable until the crol
| is safely harvested.

NEW TRIAL ASKED.
Judge De Haven Listens to MitcheIi's
Attorneys in Land Case.

attorneys IN Lana case.
Portland, July 11.-Whether or not
Senator Mitchell will have new trial
without appeal to the higher courts of
the United States now rests with Judge
De Haven. Yesterday morning, and
for part of the afternoon, the court
listened to the arguments of ex-senator
Thurston, Judge Bennett and of Mr..
Heney, contending for and against the
motion entered in behalf OF the defend
ant.
At the conclusion of Judge Benefits
argument the court announced that he
would take the matter under advise
ment and would decide upon it at his
leisure, as soon as it might be.
J. N. Williamson felt the first direct
breath of the governments case against.
him yesterday afternoon, when John
S. Watkins testified in the Federal
court that he had met the congress-
man in the woods near Prineville, and
book from him and entered in it the
descriptions of the land he desired him
and his wife and brother-in-law to
file upon under an implied contract to
deliver the claims to the firm as soon
as patented. The witness further tes-
titled to his tacit contract with the
firm of Williamson & Gesner, and to-
his intention to pay for the filing fees
and other expenses incident to secur-
ing the claim out of his own money, in
order that he NIGH thus avoid illegal
ity and keep himself clear of the law.
It was the first Tightening of the web
which the prosecution promises to-
weave around the three defendants.
The rest of the session of the after
noon, delayed as it was by the argu-
ment upon the Mitchell motion for a
new trial, followed the lines shown by
the witnesses of the preceding days.

REVOLT IN ARMY.
Officers Sentenced to Death and Cos.
sacks Routed by Rebels.

Vienna, July II. = Dispatches re-
ceived here from st. Petersburg state
that "a officers of the Russian army
have been courtmartialed and sentenced
to be shot within the last few days for
refusing to obey orders to proceed to
Manchuria. They set up in their de-
tense that other officers who possessed
OF private fortunes had succeeded in
evading the orders to go to the. front by
bribing the officers Of the general staff, !,
whose duty it was to make the assign
ment of officers to proceed to the front.
A Lithunian regiment refused to
carry out an order given by brigade
commander, and detachment of Cos
sacks was detailed to place the revolt
ers under arrest. When the mounted
troops tried it they were fred on by
the Lithuniands and sanguinary en-
counter followed, which resulted in
200 Cossacks being killed or wounded.
The revolters were finally placed under
arrest in barracks.

Cases Hard To Get.

Cases Hard To Get.
Portland, July g. Three witnesses
now have been heard in the trial of
Representative Williamson, DIR. Van
Gesner and Marion r. Biggs, whose
cases are being heard before Judge De
Haven. They have given damaging
testimony, but it has been literally
dragged from them, and yesterday
morning when Henry Beard was testi-
flying, Judge De Haven turned to Dis
trict Attorney Heney and said: "Mr.
Heney, you may lead the witness, for
it seems as if this is the only way you
can get anything out of him."
This statement came from the court
after his honor had listened to the ex-
animation of Campbell Duncan, Green
Beard and his son Henry. Hardly had
the direct examination of Duncan got
ten under way than inferences that
witness TO-. the government had been
tampered with were being brought out.
Duncan had splendid ability to forget.
His memory in connection with the
talks and deals that he had with the
defendants was conveniently blank
So was that of Green Beard, who was
another of the men who had taken up
a timber claim, which, it is alleged,
was taken for DR.. Gesenr and Repre-.
sentative Williamson. His son Henry
was also suffering from bad memory,
but after severe shaking up both by
Mr.. Heney and Judge Bennett, he
blandly admitted, when he was closely
pressed by Judge Bennett, that he had
committed perjury in swearing to his
timber entry affidavit.
Shortly after the morning session
convened, ex-senator Thurston rose te
make inquiry concerning the motion fol
new trial for Senator Mitchell. Coun
sci explained that he was long way
from home and that nothing save the
pending motion was keeping him il
Portland. Judge De Haven then an
nounced that he would take up th,
Mitchell case at 10 o'lcock Monday

Indian Children Have Measles,

Pendleton-The Indian school on the
Umatilla reservation has been closed,
as an epidemic of measles threatened to
sweep the reservation. Six girls who
were i'll with the disease are still in
quarantine at the shcool, but will be
turned out in few days, upon recov-
cry. Superintendent McKoin at first
thought he would extend the school
term well into July, but the threatened
epidemic caused the dismissal. All of
the scholars were more than pleased, as
they were inclined to be rebellious
at the prolonged term.
