OPPRESSION WAS
CAUSE OF DEFEAT
Russian Burea ucratic Rule Lost War to
the Japanese, Says Gen.
Kuropatkin.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 20.-Gen.
Kuropatkin's last order of the-day to the
first Manchurian army, printed in the
Russky Invalid, the military organ, to-
day, is a remarkable exposure of the
causes of the Russian defeats, showing
that they were due to lack of prepara-
ton and equipment and to the fact that
there were no explosive shells for the ar
tlllery IN the early stages of the war.
Morals of Troops Responsible.
He does not shirk his own responsible
ity rs minister of war, before the war
broke. out, but points out that the causes
of the defeats were the morals of the
troops and officers, who did not display
initiative. independence or enthusiasm, in
spite OF the iron nerves and heroic spirits
of the soldiers.
All this the general boldly announces
is attributable to the oppression of bu-
reaucratic rule during the last fifty years
which Ill the case of the officers drove
men Of Independence from the service,
leaving only worthless drones. He con
graduated the troops on the advent of
liberty and hope for the regeneration of
the people.
Gen. Kuropatkin gives the entire losses
of the first Manchurian army, which
averaged a strength of 100000 men and
200 officers as 800 officers killed, 1888
wounded; 10,435 men killed and $3.50
wounded. He concludes with expressing
the opinions chat the army should be so
strengthened i'll time of peace that vic
tory will be certain i'll time of war.

Cigarette Compared to Pine.

In smoking a cigarette we are partly
inhaling about ten grains of tobacco,
which as rule is milder and freer from
adulteration than any other form of
smoking tobacco. One pound of tobacco
will furnish filler for about 416 cigar
cites, and one pound of cigarette paper
will envelop $4,000 cigarettes. One cigar
cite consists of one twenty-Sixth of an
ounce of tobacco wrapped in about one
hundred and fifty-siXth of an ounce of

VERNON PEOPLE TO HAVE
PROTECTION FROM FIRE
HOUSE TO BE BUILT IN THE
SIXTH WARD
City Council Appropriates $1,000 for
the Purchase of a Site for Fire
House and Construction of Build
Ing viii Begin at Once

After several weeks of the most
patient waiting the Vernon residents
have gained the promise of fire house
to be built at the south end of the Sixth
ward.
The motion to that effect was made
at the meeting of the city council yes
terday by Councilman Houghton and
was carried unanimously.
Mr.. Houghton stated that life and
property have been in danger in Vernon
for long time owing to the absence OF
a fire house. Several houses have
burned. and in one instance an engine
hose had to be run a distance of 1902
feet before a burning building could be
reached. In another instance a motor
mans daughter was killed in a fire m
Vernon.
The city council appropriated $4,000
for the purchase of a lot for suitable
site for the proposed engine house. 1t
Is said that lot has been selected and
that construction will commence at
once.

EATON ARRANGES
NEW LAND DEAL
ANOTHER STEP TAKEN IN BIG
WATER PROJECT
Negotiations Said to Have Been COM
pleted for the Purchase by the
City of Tract Greatly
Desired

Fred Eaton, who is in the Owens river
valley, notified the water board by wire
yesterday that the way finally had been
paved for the purchase of a tract of
1400 acres of land which for the past
year the city has been anxious to
secure.
The land is in the vicinity of Black
Rock springs, and it is in the midst
of a tract of several thousand acres
already owned by the city. Negota-
tions for the purchase of this land,
which is owned by the White estate,
were begun several months ago, but the
property has been in litigati. n and the
deal could not be closed. Judging by
Mr.. Eaton's telegram, this difficulty
finally has been overcome, and the
water commissioners decided to recon-
mend to the board of public works that
steps be taken to secure the tract at a
price not to exceed IS an acre.
Superintendent Mulholland of the
water department will start for the
owens river today to inspect the work
now being done in the valley. There
is a force of about forty men at work
making preliminary surveys. Mr.. Null
holland expects to be away about ten
days.
Negotiating With Engineers
Nothing was done at the meeting OF
the water board yesterday in the way
of appointing the board of three expert
engineers to pass on the practicability
of the Owens river project Although
it is expected that the commissioners
will be able to reach a decision with
respect to the personnel of this board
before long Mr.. Mulholland says the in
dications now are that it will be i'm
possible to get the members of the
board on the ground inside of the next
two months. 1t was hoped to have the
board at work in August. but this now
seems to be out of the question.
The trouble lies in securing three en-
gineers who can accommodate their
time to each other. The men the board
is after are OF a class that usually is
fully employed, and it is not always
easy for them to so adjust their affairs
as to be at the command of the city at
a certain specified time. One of the
men with whom the board is negotiat-
ing is in Europe.
