States and several foreign governments
were considered by the Senate committee

ment was reached 1t was manifest from
the discussions that with some amend
ments which would meet the objections of
senators from southern states opposition
would be withdrawn The amendments
proposed are intended to prevent the arbi-
tration of any claims that might be insti-
tuted by citizens of foreign countries on
account OF ponds held against southern

pudlated on the ground that their issue
was unauthorized by the states themselves.

Congratulate Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay, Aug. S0.-Telegrams
are pouring in to President Roosevelt
as fast as the operators can take
them, congratulating him upon the
conclusion of peace. Emperor Will
helm and King Edward We're among
the first to extend greetings both de-
claring the president is largely re-
sponsible for the successful issue.
William ]. Bryan was among those
to offer congratulations to Roosevelt.
Senators, governors, diplomats and
sovereigns from all over the world
credit the American president with
having achieved peace, The wires are
continually bringing from them
thanks and praise.
Realizing that mistake now east
ly upset the delicate situation and
spoil all chances for peace which Is
now otherwise assured, the president
is very careful in his statements. 1t
is likely he will entertain the envoys
at Sycamore Hill before they leave,
In order to avoid possible unpleasant
ness, 1t is probable the Russians will
be entertained one day and the Jap
anese another.
In reply to letter from Komura
which is not made public, the presi-
dent sent the following:
Baron Komura Have received
your letter and ask you to convey to
the emperor of Japan, my earnest
congratulations upon the wisdom and
magnanimity which he and the Jap
anese people have displayed l am
sure all civilized mankind shares this

WIND WAS GENERAL.
Dense Dust and Pltchy Darkness in
Palousc Country.

j. 4. Lambert. father OF A. f. Lam
bert Of this place, was at Ritzville,
Wash. when Sundays storm came
on. He was waiting at the station at
that place for the Northern Pacific
train for Pasco. The storm struck
about o'clock in the evening and
while 1t was at its worst pitchy dark
ness prevailed. While the wind was
still fierce the train arrived and he
boarded it for Pasco. All the way
from Ritzville to that place the train
was in a fierce wind dust storm, and
the train was considerably delayed
as result. Owing to the darkness
it was impossible to estimate the
amount of damage that was being
done along the line.
From conversation with passengers
who had come over the Northern Pa
cific from the Sound, Mr. Lambert
learned that heavy wind prevailed
west of the mountains and all along
the line. Consequently all of the storm
that covered this section evidently
did not come up the Columbia.
According to Mr.. Lambert the
wheat of the Palouse and Big Bend
regions of eastern Washington is not
as far advanced as in Umatilla. Con-
sequently. much more was yet stand
ing there and here. In many places
! harvest has been little more than
commenced, and it will be several
weeks yet before any of them are
through. However, it spite of the fact
that there was much uncut grain. Mr..
Lambert does not believe there will
be any great loss to the yield as a re-
! suit of the blow.

"The prospects so far are for a good
corn crop throughout the middle
states" says Howard stephens. of the
firm Of Stephens d Hunter, who has
just returned from Omaha, where he
went with shipment or sheen from
this place.
According to Mr.. stephens there
will be big yield of corn this fall un-
less frosts should occur during Sep
tember and thus injure the crop. This
was done two years ago. when the
early indications were good as they
are now. However, it is generally re-
garded that the corn crop this year
will be heavy
As for the sheep market, Mr.. Ste
phens says that there is strong de-
mand in the middle states for both
mutton and feeding stock. However
the prices asked on the ranges are so
high that middlemen can hardly do
anything with the situation. Accord
ing to Mr.. stephens the sales for NUT
ton will now be over in a short time.
However feeders will still be in de-
mand for some time yet.

Superintendent James.

Salem. Aug. 30.-Superlntendent C..
w. James, of the penitentiary, won his
fourth victory over l.. II. Mcmahon
yesterday evening, when the supreme
court affirmed the decision Of the
lower court in the case of j. X. Sears
against C. w. James. Sears was Nc
Mahon's client.
The suit was brought against the
superintendent to compel him to ac-
count for. and return to the state
treasury money alleged to have been
expended by him for his private use.
Also to account for and pay into the
state treasury the value of services of
certain convicts employed by him, and

Railroads and rumors of railroads
are so thick in the Oregon atmosphere
that II is difficult for the uninitiated
to distinguish between the counterfeit
rumor and the genuine railway pro-
ject.
What Is said to be the survey of a
Hartman feeder Is now starting from
Natron. Western Oregon. to ontario,
on the extreme edge of Eastern Ore
gon. The proposed line will penetrate
the heart of Central Oregon, cross the
vast stretches of Crook, Harney and
Malheur counties and connect with
the Short Line at ontario, thus form
ing loop around the trade of Oregon,
which will draw traffic to Portland
by way of the Southern Pacific, with
which the proposed line will connect
at Natron.
This line will save the trade of in
terror Oregon to Portland and will up
set any projected road from San Fran
cisco into interior Oregon. 1t is
thought.
The oregon Eastern railway is the
title OF the new line and the incor-
porators are Colonel William Crooks,
whose signature is familiar to every
member of the oregon Legislature,
county and state officials and hun
dreds OF other citizens along the o.
X. & N, since Colonel Crooks has
signed all their annual passes for
years; James G. Wilson, who is max
ing an enviable reputation as a rail-
way attorney. although but boy in
years, and H. f. Conner, who divides
Butter creek and in defending grain
fire damage suits along the line of the
O. r & N.
A special from Portland says con-
cerning the projected line:
The discovery that a party of seven
surveyors are AT work locating a
route casterly from Eugene. Ore,
across the Cascade mountains into
Eastern Oregon, is followed today by
the Information that the oregon East
ern railway, for whom the surveyors
stated that they are employed, was in
corporated on August 81. by William
Crooks, assistant to ]. =. O'Brien,
general manager of the Hartman
lines in the Pacific Northwest; James
q. Wilson and Henry f. Conner, the
two latter being connected with the
legal department of the Hartman
lines in Portland.
The capital Of the new company is
100000 and its purpose is to build
a road from Natron. Oregon. the
present terminus of the Southern Pa
cific company's Springfield branch. to
Ontario, Ore, town on the eastern
boundary of the state, half way be-
tween Huntington, Ore. and Boise,
Idaho. The articles OF Incorporation
also provide for branches to be con-
structed to Klamath Falls. and other
points on the southern boundary of
this state.

building, then fly about the flagstaffs
of other structures. The machine is
in perfect control steering at will, in
creasing or decreasing speed as de-
sired, and varying the altitude to a
height of 1000 feet as desired. After
three-quarters of an hour it returned
to the exact spot from which It started.

Hidden Indemnity.

Portsmouth. Aug. 3O.-There is a
growing suspicion here that Russia is
to pay Japan sum of money for
some unknown purpose in lieu of a
cash indemnity. Much secrecy is main
tanned about certain points, and it is
believed indemnity lies concealed in
certain arrangements made yesterday
for through service on the Chinese
Eastern railway and the Siberian rail-
way. Such concession is to CONNER
cial Russia of such value that Russia
will naturally be willing to pay hand
somely for it.
