GO OVER TO THE JAPS.
Revolutionary Spirit Causes Many De-
sertions Even Among Officers.

NIEU-CHANG, Aug. 29.-General
Linevitch is detaching a considerable
force to strengthen his extreme right.
His plan appears to be to divide the
Japanese army into two or more
bodies by compelling them to devote
their attention to their left flank, thus
preventing them from cutting the rail-
way between Hardin and Vladivostok.
Numbers of Russians are contlnual-
Iy surrendering as the outcome OF lne
revolutionary spirit which prevails
throughout the army, even among the
higher officers.
General Linevitch, for this reason
will probably assume the offensive.
There are skirmisnes between rival
scouts almost daily, the men some
times getting within sixty yards OF
each other.
Most of the advance line on ooth
sides are so irregular and make 50
many sharp angles that each sioe 10

OLYMPIA BANKS WILL PAY
TAXES ON CAPITAL STOCK
OF INSTITUTION.
Commissioners Announce That They
Will Not Allow the indebtedness
to be Deducted.

Olympia banks will pay taxes on the
valuation Of the stock held by its
stockholders and stockholders will not
be permitted to swear off, their
taxes by certifying to their Indebted
ness in excess Of the valuation placed
upon the stock. Real estate Of the
bank is the only item that will be al
lowed as an offset, amounting to but
So for each share Of stock in the Capt.
tai National and about the same in
the Olympia National
The county commissioners after
having advised themselves fully on
the subject decided to sustain the
county assessor, who had stricken out
every item of Indebtedness from the
sworn returns of the stockholders and
assessed each one at SO per cent. of
the value of the stock. 1t is the first
tine in the history of Thurston
county that the stockholders have
been called upon to pay more than a
nC:ninal tax upon their stock, the in
debtedness offset having been pre-
previously allowed.

Land Withdrawn In UmatiIIa.


The government has recently with
drawn from entry about $4,000 acres
of land in the western part of Una
tilla county with a view of determin-
ing the feasibility of irrigation. The
commentator of Engineer Whistler
and it is probable that the practicable
ity of retaining these lands or part
Of them will be established at an early
date. The general plan proposed is
to divert water from the Umatilla by
a feed canal between fifteen and TWEEN
ty miles long into what is called Cold
Springs reservoir site. A dam there
to hold the water, ninety feet deep,
will impound a sufficient supply alone
for $4,000 acres. About $4,000 acres
of good land is estimated to lie under
the reservoir, and, by using one irri-
cation in the spring direct from the
viver, it is thought the entire $4,000
acres can be provided with an abso-
lutte and assured full supply. Lying
above the reservoir distributaries, but
below the feed canal, will be from TO-
900 to $4,000 acres of irrigable land
which can, by increasing the size OF
the feed canal be supplied with flood
water or winter rrigation.-Pendle-
ton Tribune.

Bismarck Scholl was in the city on
Monday and Tuesday of this week. He
went from here directly to Walla Wal

No Labor Dav.

In Pendleton are 900 working people
but Labor Day, which occurs on Mon
day, September 4, will pass by unob-

eral Of the labor unions of the city
have been considering some sort of a

definitely abandoned. and there will
be nothing to distinguish this holiday
of the labor world from other working
days, except the dim memory that on
former Labor days Pendleton working

since it is in the heart of the arid dis

up officially by the association In
hopes of retaining the headquarters

wCE WHALE" SERVED.
Story of the Mikado's State Dinner
Fierce Struggle With Chopsticks.

HARTFORD. Conn, Aug. 29.-Col-
onel Charles Hopkins Clark, editor OF
the Hartford Courant, who, with his
daughter is a member of the Secre-
tary Taft party. now touring Japan
and the Philippines, has just written
home a detailed account of the lunch
con and dinner given by the mikado.
THE luncheon was at noon, but
even at this hour the men were obliged
to wear tall hats and white ties, WITH
swallow tail coats. Among the deco
rations of the elegant dining hall were
masses of beautiful flowers laid upon
great cakes of ice, which served to
cool the room. At the dinner one OF
the items was iced whale and mus
tard sauce
'Visitors left their SHOES and hats
at the front door and were escorted to
the dining hall or gallery, which has
no windows, but it all open, facing
the clubs beautiful ground. The
stage was directly opposite in the
grounds, thirty feet or so away. There
was no table or chair in the room, but
cushions or pads were laid along the
floor. At each pad ON the floor, OF
course, was the guests name on
slip of paper.
Pretty Geisha girls brought the
food in on trays, setting a loaded tray
before eacn person. Then trouble be-
gan. We had no forks at all, nothing
but two chop sticks. The soup we
drank out of the bowl. Some of the
men got the girls to feed them, but
that meant swallowing what they
gave you. Others got the trick OF
the sticks after a while. I ate three
thin slices of iced whale. the quail
was served entire, with the head.
wings and tail feathers complete. ap-
parently resting on its nest in bowl.
and the breast, which was roasted and
served cold, lay in two slices across
it's brown back.
you could almost hear the joints
of the visitors groan and creak by the
time they began to do their second
hour of sitting. They crossed and re-
crossed their legs, but couldn't get rid
of tnem."

LOVE LETTERS IN GRAVE.
Touching Romance Developed In Muir
der of Westbrook at Des Mones.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. %
When the police officers working on
the Westbrook murder exhumed the
remains of Westbrook at Grinnell yes
terday they found deposited with the
body a packet Of fifty love-letters,
which reveals touching romance.
Westbrook was engaged two years
ago to Miss Anna Hemming of Mar
shalltown The engagement mad not
been announced outside of the family.
He received the letters from Miss
Hemming while the latter was in Chi
cago a year ago last winter. Miss
Hemming died suddenly in Chicago
the same winter and the young man
had lived a brokenhearted existence
ever since.
Before Westbrook died he asked
that the letters be placed in the grave
with him and bound with scarlet and
black ribbons, the Iowa college col
ors. Miss Hemming and Westbrook
first met at Iowa college, Grinnell,
and it was on the campus and about
the shaded streets CT the town that
their courtship was carried on.
Detective Hedric demanded right
to read the love-letters, but Mayor
Coutts of Grinnell refused to have
them opened.
You came down here to get bull
let" said the mayor. You have ex-
tracted a 3S-calibre bullet from the
body and that you say helps prove
your murder theory. If thugs COM
mitted the murder this pure girl who
preceded her lover to heaven certain
ly never heard of it."
Mrs. Westbrook, mother of the muir
dered man, says that Westbrook, be-
fore his death said: Il am glad that
the robber made a good shot. I Will
be with Anna now"

COMMERCIAL INTERESTS OF EN-
TIRE PACIFIC STATES HAVE
CEMENTED.
Movement Now en- Foot to Cyrstalize
This Sentiment Into a General
Organization.

position has done more than show the
resources of the gerat northwest TO
the entire world; it has cemented the
interests of the whole Pacific safes re-
gion and has brought the people to-
gether as one great family. There
has never been a time in the history
of the coast when the people have
had such unusual opportunities of
meeting one another as at the great
exposition at Portland this year. Mer-
chants from different cities have come
to know one another, and the meet
ing has been of mutual advantage
All classes of people have been
brought together and the man from
the south coast has met the man from
the north coast.
A movement is now on foot to crys-
tallize this sentiment of good will ami
cooperation among the people of the
Pacific states into effective working
entire region. More than a year ago
it was proposed by Rufus P. Jennings,
motion committee, an organization
representing more than $50 chambers
tons of like character in California,
that the commercial organizations of
commercial organizations of the entire
Pacific states region should get to-
gether." The Oregon Development
league, consisting Of forty-four
chambers of commerce and improve
ment organizations in Oregon, took
up the movement. Then Washington.
Idaho, Utah, Nevada and the territory
of Arizona followed suit. AS a result
the most important step in the history
of development work on the Pacific
coast has been begun and an era of
organization and effective co-opera-
ton between the Pacific states will
prevail. With a central association
consisting of the state commercial Or
ganization, which are in turn, COM
posed of the local organization, when
any of the Pacific coast states desire
a needful public improvement, all the
other states through the central Or
ganization will cooperate and lend
their moral support for the work to be
done. This will greatly fortify the
representatives of the Pacific states
in congress at Washington, VINO will
be glad to avail themselves of a unit
ed public sentiment upon the coast. In
like manner a campaign will be con-
Quoted for large conventions for Pa
cific state cities as we'll as an or
ganized campaign for publicity.
The movement gained great strength
through the excursions of the various
states to the exposition. Many of
these excursions were given under
the auspices of commercial bodies and
in this way the men actively engaged
in this work have come to know one
another. The largest excursion of
this kind was that given under the
auspices of the California Promotion
committee shortly after the opening of
the fair. Representatives of the cham
bers of commerce of the whole state
of California took part in the event,
and the result has been a steady
stream of visitors from the Golden
state to the banks of the Willamette.
