THECzARANDKAISER
THEY HOLD TWO CONFERENCES ON
IRPERIAL YACHT.
In Gulf Of Finland-tias Caused 4
Great Sensation in St. Petersburg
Unpleasant Results Expected From
Franes-They Have Furnished Their
War Money.

st. Petersburg, July 25.-The meet
ing between the car and kaiser.
which took place on the imperial yacht
Hohenzollern in the gulf of Finland,
has caused even more OF q sensation
here than did the news that Russia
had consented to consider President
Roosevelt's peace offers. Incidentally
there are grave feelings that this ac-
ton on the part Of the car win be
followed by unpleasant results In
France, which is not likely to approve
of the head of the Russian nation
comforting with her ancient enemy.
Inasmuch as French bankers have fur
ntshed the sinews Of war in the past,
this phase Of the situation is con-
sidered, to say the least, very unfor-
tunate by leading Russian politicians.
There is an absolute dearth Of on
ctal information regading the meet
ing between the two rulers. Other
than to admit that they reached the
appointed rendezvous on Sunday on
board their respective yachts, the car
on the Pole Star and the kaiser on the
Hohenzollern, and that the meeting
was arranged on the Initiative Of the
emperor of Germany, official circles
maintain an attitude of extreme re-
ticence on the subject.
The czar was accompanied by Grand
Duke Michael Alexandrovitch. and as
soon as the vessel reached the place
Of meeting he was escorted on board
Of the imperial German yacht. The
kaiser entertained his guests at din
ner, and a secret conference was held,
which is reported to have lasted for
some time.
Another conference, it is reported,
was held on board the Pole Star on
Monday morning, after which the car
returned to st. Petersburg. What the
subject under consideration was is, Of
course, unknown, nor is it likely that
1t will be revealed. However, there
is no doubt but that it will have an
important bearing upon the result of
peace negotiations to be begun at
Portsmouth, in the United States, next
month. The kaiser has sounded other
European monarchs, and he is in a DO
sition to inform the car what they
desire, and it is likely that the latter
will be governed in a great measure
by what he thus learns.
Frances attitude is the thing that
promises the most trouble. While the
relations between France and Ger
many are by no means so badly strain
ed as they were some weeks ago; still
there is certain amount Of resent
ment left, growing out of the Moroc-
can affair, and there is a chance that
sentiment in France will demand a
cutting loose from Russia and the dis
solution of the treaty obligations.
Should this follow, there is a growing
belief that Great Britain will negotiate
an offensive and defensive treaty with
France and thus fortify herself against
any prospective Russian German
treaty or understanding. The situation
Is very delicate at present, and Rus
sian diplomats don't care to discuss it
pending an official announcement Of
the result of the conference in the
gulf of Finland.

score are stretched upon beds of pain
IN various hospitals. This is the re.

the trim little naval craft and wrought
such terrible havoc among her crew.
The placid waters OF San Diego bay
have never before been the scene Of
such disaster and San Diego city has
never before been stirred by such a
scene of death and suffering as those
Witnessed tonight.
The dead bodies lie ranged with
Tewsome precision at the different
morgues. The stark forms are out
lined in immaculate winding sheets,
the terrible results of scalding steam
upon the faces plainly showing, al
though hidden beneath the folds. The
face of every victim is SCARED and
scalded, in many cases almost beyond
recognition.
On board the Bennington the un-
harmed l.iombers of the crew worked
under great difficulties to reach the
boiler room and coal bunkers. where
It is believed a dozen bodies are lying
Yedged in the wreckage or submerged

explosion grew throughout the night,

The details of the explosion on the
Bennington, as ascertained by Com
nander Young, were received at the
navy department in a long telegram
from the commander. 1t appears from
the telegram that a small leak had
been discovered in boiler B and the
bOilermaker was on his way to repair
j and was passing through the engine
room when the explosion occurred.
President Roosevelt was greatly
shocked at the news of the disaster.
Beyond expressing his profound re-
get he chose, however, to reserve ex-
PRESTON on the matter until he receiv-
g complete details.

HEAVY MOHAlR CROP
Years Clip in Oregon Will Assre-
gate About $4,000 Pounds.

The great mohair harvest of the
state is over and it is estimated that
the clip this year will aggregate from
$50. 600 to S75, 900 pounds, which is
slight increase over the crop of last
year. The market, too, for this high
grade and much-demanded product
has opened up we'll and 80 cents
pound is being paid at the present
time, which is considered high
average price.
This is another of the many pro-
ducts in which the state of Oregon
excels, the Oregon mohair being
olassed as the very best on the mar
ket and it commands the highest
prices. 1t is chiefly a Willamette
valley product as it is raised most
extensively, almost exclusively in
Polk, Yamhill, Marion, Washington,
Benton, Linn, Lane and Douglas
counties There are few small and
scattering herds Of goats in Eastern
Oregon, but the attention of the stock
men there is devoted principally to
raising sheep and cattle rather than
goats. -. 's-''' '--'
This is an industry which does not
inrease very rapidly, not so much as
in the case of sheep, because the goat
is not as hardy an animal, especially
when young, as the kids require
great care aud attention in raising
until they arrive at certain age,
when they are more hardy than sheep.
The goat industry is perhaps one Of
the least expensive of any in the
state, therefore making the profit all
the greater. The greater portion of
the expense in raising goats is in the
taking care of the kids, as they are
very delicate when extremely young.
About 10 per cent Of the kids that
are born arc raised to maturity.
The market is strong and with q
slight upward tendency. The usual
annual pool Of the mohair has been
formed by the Polk aud Yamhill
county Mohair Growers Associations,
the aggregate holdings of the two
pools amounting to about $4,000
pounds which is about the same as
that of last year. This pool will be
placed on the market at Dallas on
April /. They are always successful
as the growers usually receive from
2 to and cents above the market
price.

Employ Competent Men

Competent men should be employed
TO survey and lay out roads and to
construct and maintain them, for IL is
folly to employ an incompetent person
TO do such work and expect satisfac-
tory results. 1t is no uncommon thing
to see a novice in road construction
make the ditch on the wrong side Of
the road, and if you ask such man
why he didn't ditch the road he will
very positively tell you he did Yet it
would seem that even the horses and
mules that travel the road would know
better. bitches should always be on
the high Or hill side of a road, and
when the land is level both sides should
be well ditched, for ample drainage Is
absolutely necessary in keeping up a
dirt road. Dirt roads should be work
ed in the early summer, and not in
late summer or fall, but repairing
should be in order at all seasons.-A

yentiOn.

Preservation of the

The liability OF the teeth TO decay
varies in different persons, but II 10
seldom that eyon the weakest teeth
could not be saved by cleanliness,
says the Youths Companion. The
beginning of decay in tooth con-
sists in the eating out of the lime in
the enamel by tactic acid. This acid
is the result OF fermentation Of the
starchy food PARTICLES left between
the teeth or between the loosened
gum and the neck Of a tooth. In or
der 10 prevent its formation the
mouth should be rinsed after each
meal with an antiseptic wash. A So
luton of borax in lukewarm water
makes seryiceable mouth wash, and
there are many other kinds to be
had in the drug stores. But word
of caution Is necessary here; An
astringent mouth wash, contrary "
the usual L--hef is not good for
long continued use, for it may cause
retraction Of the gums and conse-
| qupnt loosoning of the teeth.
The teeth should be brushed Of
least twice a day, and Ia the evening

A movement Is on foot in Illinois to
reduce the width Of country roads
from sixty to forty feet The farmers
are especially in favor of this project
on the ground that under present con-
dltions much of the roadway is COW
cred with weeds which scatter their
seeds over adjacent fields. Another ar
gument in favor of the narrower roads
is that the cost of macadamizing and
