Presidents Work Is Ended.

oyster Bay. July 2O.-No advices'
either from this country or abroad
have reached President Roosevelt
which would warrant even by indirec-
ton. a pessimistc view Of the result
OF the forthcoming peace conference
between the plenipotentiaries of Rus
sia and Japan on the contrary, II
can be said that such advices as the
president has received indicate that
n sincere effort on the part of both
belIigerents would be made to recon
ciIe their differences and negotiate a
treaty of peace that Will he perma-
nent. The terms that Japan VIII
propose will not be drastic Is pe-
lieved generally in administrator
circles II is known that the president
has intimated to the Japanese govern
ment his belief that an agreement
with Russia can he reached without
serious difficulty provided Japanese
forms are not harsh or of a kind seri-
ouslv to humiliate her adversary.
The president has indicated definite
" that his work as an intermediary
between Russia and Japan practical
Iv is concluded. He is grautied that
he has been able to bring the two bel
ligerent nations together to discuss
and consider their differences with a
view to the negotiation of a treaty OF
peace. That he will have an active
hand I'm the conference is regarded as
quite unlikely.
THE envovs will he afforded every
faciIitv and convenience by the
United states government for the con
duct of their negotiations but they
will be given an absolute clear fielo
for their conference, field entirely
free from any possible interference

PORTLAND LEADS IN WHEAT SHIPMENTS

Portland, July 20.-For the 12
months ending June 80 Portland ex
ported more wheat than any other
port in the United States, and is the
only city on the Pacific coast to which
that honor has ever fallen.
The shipments from Portland We're
1,474.147 bushels, valued at $1,331,-
913. San Francisco came next with
1,315,47 bushels; the Puget Sound
district is third with 1,246,616 BUSH
els. These figures were compiled by
the department of commerce and la
Dor.
In 1904. Galveston took the lead,
with 17,135,4S5 bushels. In 1905, she
exported only a total of $4,000 BUSH
els, but at the same time sent more
grain across the sea than any other
port in the country, with the excep-
ton of the three named.
While Portland has gained first
place she is considerably under the
showing she made in 1904, when she
dispatched 3,476,453 bushels of the
cereal to foreign markets. The de-
crease is easily accounted for by the
fact that thousands of bushels OF

Kalama. Wash, July 2O.-Sheriff
Kirby, of Cowlitz county, is hot on
the trail of a man who was last seen
at o'clock this morning at Strangs
farm, three miles this side of Caples,
and who claims to be the eighth and
last missing convict from McNeils
island penitentiary. Last evening at
o'clock this man made arrangements
with ]. Matthews at st. Helen's to
take him out on the Columbia. He
carried a roll of blankets, with which
was slung a Winchester.
When well out on the river the
stranger unslung the Winchester and
ordered Matthews to land him on the
Washington side. "Ill fill your body
full of holes, too, if you don't" warm
ed the passenger, and Matthews hast
ened to comply.
They landed above Caples, and
Matthews, of whom the desperate
evidently intended making a body
servant, was then instructed to build
a fire and cook some potatoes, the
stranger saying he was going off to
Huht uo"h anu hill Gail loi AeSh
ment. He increased Matthews dis
like of the situation by the informa-
tion that he was one of the escaped
convicts from Tacoma.
At the first opportunity Matthews
slipped away and fastened to Kala-
ma, where he notified Sheriff Kirby
The fugitive is of reddish complexion
with three or four weeks growth OF
beard and pale blue eyes.

1t is believed the president will not
be drawn into the controversy between
the two sets of plenipotentiaries, as
the one or the other of the two ma
tions directly interested almost GER
tainly would regard such a contin-
gency as interf pee.
Some formaities have yet to be OBJ
served by the president the chief one
being the reception Of the ENJOYS at
Sycamore Hill, but when they have
been completed the president will re-
gard his connection with the peace
negotiations as at an end.

Judge De Haven in the United stat IS
circuit court "Wednesday morning at
IL o'clock that ii was unable to ar

should be done. Judge De Haven
read some additional instructions and
told the jurymen te retire and delib-
crate further. Al noon they were still
in conference, with no news to break
the monotony of the long deadlock.
Common report has it that the jury
stands II to / for conviction. and the
story is going the rounds that w. O..
Cook. brickmaker, of Eugene, is the
dissenting juror. This looked plausi-
BILE wher the jury appeared, for Cook
was the first to ask for instructions.
He looked worried and worn, and de-
sired the court to read again the
charge as to what constitutes the
crime of perjury. This was done.
Word Sent to Court.
II was II O'Clock when the jury de-
cided to give up the struggle. Word
was sent to the court, and the report
got out that verdict had been reach
ed. The attorneys for both sides were
sent for. The defendants appeared,
and Judge De Haven asked the jury
what IL desired. Foreman ]. f. Hin
kle announced that the jury had been
together nearly 90 hours. had taken a
great many ballots, and was unable to
arrive at a verdict. The foreman add
iurymen being able to agree, and ask

Judge De Haven read from a decis-
ion sustained by the supreme court
i'm which were some instructions per-
tinent to the present condition. The
instructions were in substance that in
large proportion of cases absolute
certainty cannot be expected; that
while the verdict must be the individ-

BEGINS RATE WAR

Captain E. W. Spencer has fired
the signal gun for the expected 1905
rate war ON the Columbia, says the
Telegram, with the announcement
that, beginning on May |, his steam
er, the Charles II. Spencer, would
make round trip daily between
Portland and the Dalles, carrying
passengers for 81 each way. The

Manager H. G. Campbell, of the

he would follow the cut made by the

he was not in a position to say,
being no longer interested in the
company, but merely hired man.
He would not even sanction the state
ment that it was likely his employers
would meet the drop in passenger
tariffs.
Captain Spencer proposes to make
five landings between Portland and

will be Vancouver, Washougal, Stew

for millions of souls who, by sorrow
and woe we're bereft; 'tis for those
who have suffered the melody rolls,
but the kickers turn to the left.
There is room for the people who,
when they were young. persisted in
sowing wild oats, yet doomed up their
town with sinew and tongue, but the
kickers must go to the goats. There
is room for people who pointed with
pride to the beauty and growth of

and the angelic gown hand me down

while there is room for a million of
souls who, by sorrow and woe
we're bereft, we want no complaints of
the music that rolls, so the kicker
must turn to the left. -EX.

Ditch Improyements at Mount Hood.

j. N. Knight, who was down from
Mount Hood Friday, reports the
farmers all busy there. The question
of irrigation water is agitating these
people as well as the farmers in other
parts of the valley. The Mount Hood
farmers own their own ditch, but they
have not sufficient work accomplished
to supply all the water the community
would make use of.
Some of the stock holders in the
ditch want those farmers who are
using the water to put up the money
for improvements, while there are 9th
ers who believe it only just that an
assessment be levied upon all the stock
alike, whether the owner of the stock
is water user or not. The imprOv-
ements will increase the value of the
stock, which will result in benefits
to all.
Mr.. Knight is sanguine the situation
will work out without any serious
difficulty and that all the farmers will
have all the water their farms need.
