a grim valor that won even the praise
of their foe, and the fighting has been
waged with "reminiscences that often
refused truces to bury the dead and
collect the wounded over corpse-filled
trenches men have fought hand to
hand with cold steel and cluobed
guns, and at short range have hurled
at each other hand grenades filled
with high explosives.
What Port Arthur has cost in hui

made The losses have been appal
ling It has been reported that in
some engagements leading up to the
recent capture Of 203-Meter hill, the
attacking force lost as high as 40 per
cent of the forces engaged, while the
garrisons' losses, of which no word
has come, must have been frightful.
The defense OF the position which
fell to her as heritage after the Chi
nese-Japanese war, has cost Russia
practically her entire feet in those
waters. Her ships lie from Port Ar
Korea, and along the Shantung PENN.

sells, or ANONYMOUSLY dismantled, are
interned in neutral Chinese ports.
Save the three or four cruisers and
some large craft that lie in the ice
bound refuge of Vladivostok, not
warship now flies the Russian cross
in the waters of the northern Orient.
And Japan, too has had her losses in
the long-drawn-out operations. Mines
have struck from Admiral To-
gas fleet list many fine ships and
smaller vessels since the morning of
February s, when he hurled his fleet
at the Russian ships in Port Arthur's
roadstead.
The siege of Port Arthur properly
dates from May 81, when, after en-
gaging the first army landed by the
Japanese at Pitsewo, Stoessel was
forced back from the neck
of the Kwantung peninsula.
The Japanese landing was
begun on May and the Russian COM
mander elected to give battle at his
northernmost line of defenses. The
engagement was a severe one and
drove the Russians back to the first
OF the main defenses of the position.
A few days later, on May 30, the Jap
anese occupied Dalny, and on June
14.1G General Stakelberg, advancing
to the relief of the Port Arthur army,
was defeated by General Oku at the
battles OF Wafangkau and Telissu.
With Togo's ships lying like watch
dogs around Port Arthur's seawaro
side and Nogi advancing slowly but
relentlessly by land, the famous
stronghold was under siege, and from
then on until General Stoessel, on New
Years day, sought terms of capitula-
ton, the operations have been marked
by almost ceaseles fighting, lombard
ments by the fleet alternating with
desperate attacks by land, or assaults
by the combined naval and military
forces.
When Stoessel and the remnant OF
his devoted garrison march out OF
Port Arthur, the flag of the Rising
Sun will once more float from the
ramparts of the position Japan won
when she first sent her new fleet to
give battle and drove China from the
seas.

The Girl From Sweden

Fred w. Falkner will present
his new play, 'The Girl From
Sweden" at the Opera House on
November 10Th. Mr.. Falkner has
engaged a strong company for
his new play headed by Miss
Made DeLong who without a
doubt is the cleverest Swedish
dialect comedienne on the Ameri-
can stage today. So different
from all the rest, every word she
utters is perfectly understood by
the audience. This is the kind
of comedy drama that shows the
honest noble hearted people of
the Swedish race. This play it.
self is purely American from the
pen Of Charles Newman. Many
excellent specialties are introduc-
ed during the action of the play
by members of the company. At

City Improvements

At the last meeting of the City
Council which was held last Sat-
urday evening Chas. Ebling came
before the Board with a propo-
sition to put in water works and
electric lights. No figures we're
submitted as the council wished
to thoroly investigate the matter
relative to an improvement of
this kind before going any fur
ther. Auditor Fead was in
structed to correspond with a
number of the surrounding
towns having water and light
systems and procure reliable
data regarding cost of INSTALL
alton and expense of mainten-
ance. After this is received the
Board will be better prepared to
consider the proposition.
Our city has long felt the need
of water works and electric lights
and now that the population has
increased sufficiently to support
modern improvements of this
kind it is probable that Hope will
soon be supplied with these con-
veniences.

Protest Registered

Last week the citizens and
business men along the line of
the Aneta branch of the Great
Northern petitioned the Railway
company to reconsider the pro-
posed change Of schedule which
is believed will be detriment to
the business interests of the
towns in this section.
The Superintendent has ae-
knowledged a receipt of the doc
ument and states that he has
referred the matter to the
general Office.
From the tone Of the reply our
people are encouraged to believe
favorable action will be taken in
the matter.
The dissatisfaction regarding
the change does not merely ex-
ist among the business men
along the line. The commercial
travellers making this line are
loud in their denunciations of
this scheme which will seriously
handicap them in their business.
The result of the protest will
be watched with interest, not
only by the towns along this line
but by the cities drawing busi-
ness from this section.

Thirty Days In Jail

That the way of the transgress-
or id hard has again been dem
onstrated in the case of Chas.
Russell, formerly employed as
advance agent for the Barlow
Stock Co., who has been lettering
about the city for several weeks.
Russell was out of a job butas he
always appeared to be amply
supplied with the necessary coin.
of the realm and was well dress
ed no one had the slightest oc-
casion to believe that he was any
thing but an honestand upright
young man. A few days ago,
however, a roll of bills was miss
ed from one of our business
houses. Circumstances pointed
to Cholly and he was duly arrest
ed and taken before Judge Skin
ner charged with the theft. At
first the charge was strenuously
denied but under the strain of
cross examination he became
confused and finally admitted his
guilt. The missing money was
disgorged and he received a
sentence of thirty days in the
Hillsboro bastile as a reminder
that honesty is the best policy
and that labor is no disgrace to
the best of men. The lesson is
hard one but it is necessary at
times to use severe measures
with young men of this ilk who
resort to almost anything rather
than work.
Since the above was written
we learn that several other par
ties in town have missed articles
from their places of business
which have been found in the
possession of Russell. He is
sure bad.
