a speedy realization of our long defer
red hopes for railroad connection with
the markets of the world. The sudden
withdra wal of the surveyors aroused
the people to the fact that they must
work out their own salvation. The cleo
trio road from Lewiston to Grangeville
is not new thing arising from dis
and despair. The project
originated three years ago. and plans
and estimates Of cost Of construction.
together with statistics of production
in the tributary country, have been
gathered and made and presented to
eastern capitalists through voluntary
contributions of the people affected.
The right of woy for the road is also
secured and the situation has been
thoroughly reviewed by agents Of those
who expect to undertake it's construc-
ton and operation.
Depend on Themselves.
These facts may be new to Portland
people but they are ancient history in
our country and are equally well
known to the magnates Of the steam
roads, The failure of the latter to
occupy the country upon the dissolu-
ton of the merger was a grievous dis
appointment to our people and gave
an impetus to the electric proposition
which insures it's speedy construction.

San Francisco, July 14.-A reduction
81 20 per cent in all grades of sugar
has been announced. The cut is at
tributed to the weakness Of the raw
sugar market, the price Of the article
having recently dropped ~ cents per
pound. The decline in raw sugar has
been in a measure caused by the ex-
cellent prospects in Europe for a large
increase in the beet sugar output, and

Ills Appointment Is Considered =

Something Regarding
the Man.

| 81, petersburg, July ~
Nicholas has signed the appointment
of NJ, Witte, president Of the commit
tee of ministers. to be chief plenipoten-
tiary representing the Russian govern
ment in the peace negotiations to De
conducted next month in the United
States. The appointment which was
signed after midnight, clothes M. Witte
with plenary powers
Official notification Of the designation
of M. Witte to head the mission was
forwarded to Washington Thursday
morning. M. Witte will take passage
on the North German Lloyd steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse which
sails from Cherbourg July 20. :.
Sergius Witte, the Russian pleni-
poteniary, may be regarded as the lead
ing statesman of Russia For the last
ia years he has been one Of the strong
est personalities In the Russian beau-
raucracy although his political for
tunes suffered Setback when he was
compelled to resign the portfolio OF
minister of finance in August. 1903.
and again when after being appointed
president of the council q ministers
In the same month his office gradually
lost its Importance until rumors Of his
intention to resign and go abroad
had been persistently circulated.
Witte is about So years old and has
steadily worked his way from the po-
sition of an under-paid clerk who oc-
casionally acted as porter to that OF
the leading statesman Of Russia In
spite of the fact that his enemies are
numerous and include some Of the most
powerful men In Russia. A man OF
large stature, big limbed and muscular,
standing over six feet high, Witte has
the reputation Of being harsh to his
subordinates but his honesty and abil-
ity have never been doubted even by
his worst enemies. He was created a
count in 1901.
M. Witte is thoroughly familiar with
the far eastern question in all its bear
ings. He understands the japanese
position and fully realized before the
war that the aggressive policy being
pursued under the lead Of Viceroy
Alexieff and NJ. Bezobrazoff, president
of the Yalu Timber company, and the
coterie of adventures connected with
them would drive japan to take up the
sword. At one time M. White talked
over the situation with the Marquis Ito,
president of the Japanese privy council
and one of the leading statesmen Of
Japan. Practically 1t was Whites dis

his allowance for expenses to cover
the period Of his sojourn In America
was only $4,000 roubles, which amount
he considered insufficient owing TO
