Russian Pride Wounded
Special Cablegram TO The Star
ST. PETERSBURG, June 1.-Two fea-
lures of the naval disaster have particu-
larly wounded the pride of the Russian
naval officers-first the slightness of the
japanese losses, and. second, the surrender
of four battleships.
The Russ thinks the officers of these ships
must have lost control of their men, who
were demoralized by lack of ammunition.
The Russ quotes letter sent from Mada-

in which it said: I'VE have roJectiles for
only one battle and we are restricted even

WILL INSPECT LUMBER MILLS.
State Commissioner of Labor Is Tour
ing the State.

Portland, May 30. p. Hoff, state
commissioner of labor, is in this city
inspecting the various lumber mills
and wood working plants for the pur-
pose of making suggestions to oper-
ators to guard against accidents and
/ injuries or death to employees Mr..
Hoff will extend his investigation to
all parts of the state and has already
visited a number of mills i'm the vi
cinity of Portland and at points along
the Columbia river and its tributaries.
The work comes under the head of
duties of the commissioner and con-
sequently is official in every sense of
the word.
1T is surprising that more accidents
are not recorded from the mills and
logging camps" said Mr.. Hoff this
morning, although the percentage is
quite large as compared with the
number of men employed, but with
proper precautions the number
should be reduced to the minimum.
In many mills that l have visited /
have found machinery unguarded
and traps and pitfalls scattered so
TeckleSsly tnat IL Is wonder the
concerns have not gone bankrupt
fighting damage suits and supporting
invalids
81 find, too, that this condition of
affairs is due more to oversight than
anything else. Many proprietors tell
me, when having their attention call
ed to risks they might be running,
that they had never noticed these
dangers. I take note of all these
things and keep a record for future
reference, so that should accidents oc-
cur and the matter come before the
courts I will be able to testify as to,
the condition OF the plant and the
fact that warning had been issued"
After inspecting the mills in this
vicinity. Mr. Hoff will go into Cen
tral and Southern oregon, where
there are many plants that he believes
will need looking after. He finds
the millmen very courteous and some
of them actually welcome his visit,
as It is really for their protection as
well as the employees.

INCREASE IN POPULATION.
What Coming Census is Expected to
DIsclOse In Oregon.

Portland, May 9.-When the state
census now being taken is completed
it is expected to reveal a very large
increase in all parts of Oregon. The
work is now progressing in all of Ore
gon's counties, and in some districts
1t is almost completed. In Multno-
nah county the work will not be fin
ished for about 80 days.
The law provides that state CEN
sus shall be taken every 10 years, al
ternating in periods of five years with
the federal census. It is said that
very little attention has been paid to
the taking of the state census in past
years, but this year an endeavor is
being made to secure an accurate and
reliable census. The county assessor
is in charge of the work in each coun-
ty.
There is considerable speculation as
to what the population of Oregon and
Portland will be according to this
census. The probable population of
the state is being estimated at all the
way between $4,000 and 100000.
The census is expected to show that
Portland's present population is about
130,0 900 and many are predicting that
it will reach 10000.

The fate of the branch experiment
station at Union now hangs upon the
opinion to be given by Attorney Gen
eral Crawford in regard to the legali-
ty of the board of regents plant to
save it, This plan is to sell part of
the stock now on the station farm and
place the money derived therefrom in
bank before May is, such money to
be used for defraying the necessary
expenses of the station during the
next two years. By having the money
in bank before May IS, it is thought
that the law passed at the last session
requiring all money derived from the
sale of products from state institutions
to be turned into the state treasury.
will not be violated, as the money will
be secured before the law is in effect.
However, the board of regents is
not sure of the premises, and the at
torney general has been asged for an
opinion on the subject. Should this
opinion be favorable, the stock will be
sold before May Is; otherwise II is
said there is no way in which the ex-
pertinent station may be continued.
Should IL be necessary to abandon the
work at Union, thousands of dollars
in valuable grass experimental plats
will be lost as result.
Senator Walter Pierce, who is a
member of the board of regents of
the o. A. c. and OF the branch station.
has been doing everything within his
power to save the station, and is the
one who advanced the idea of secur-
ing money for expenses from the sale
of the cattle.

ish ambassador at Washington, who
arrived recently from America, is

welt on the subject of war in the Far
East, and the possibilities of bringing
about a cessation of hostilities. 1t is

autographic reply to Joseph Choate,

The Dispatch quotes a prominent

statement that Japan has organized
a reserve fleet consisting of four or
five battleships and rs converted
cruisers, which will be strong enough
to protect the communications be-
tween Japan and Manchuria in case
Togo is defeated.
