FLEET WILL GO TO ORIENT.
United States Will Take a Hand in
Far Eastern Question.

! Washington, Feb. 1.-THE ques-
ton of preserving Chinese territor-
ial and administrative entity" has
suddenly assumed new importance in
the eyes of the diplomatic world in
connection with the cruise of the
American battle fleet to the Pacific
especially since it became an as
sured fact that the fleet is to pro-
ceed to the Orient soon after reach
ing San Francisco.
Several months ago it was stated
that certain interests closely in touch
with commercial affairs in China
professed to be informed that the
real significance of the fleets move
ment to the Pacific had to do with
affairs affecting the Flowery King
dom, and that. in time their state
ment of the case would be justified.
Always the well-informed have been
aware that there was something-if
nothing more than a remote contin-
gency-aside from the practice fea-
lures of the cruise involved. A pop
ular impression has been that the
immigration question was behind it
all. The immigration question now
is practically settled, but there is to
be no change in the program of send
ing the fleet under Admiral Evans
to the Far East.

PINCHOT WILL QUIT.
Reported He Has Plans for Career
in the Senate.

Washington, Feb. 18.-The story has
been put in circulation in Washington
to the effect that Clifford Pinchot, chief
of the Forest service, will retire from
service at the close of President Roose-
velt's term, and 60 West 10 grow up
with the country. The report goes on
to say that Pincbot has desire to mix
in politics, with the hope Of ultimately
being sent to the senate from the state
in which he takes his residence.
Since Mr.. Roosevelt became presi-
dent, Mr.. Pinchot has been very pow
erful man in the administration He
was holding an insignifc fcant Office as
chief of the forestry division of the Ag-
ricultural department. Government
forestry work was then in its infancy
and the work of Pinchot's division
counted for little. Mr.. Pinchot quickly
interested the president in the subject
of national forestry, and when the pres
ident became interested the division
sprung into prominence, and has grown
steadily to its present proportions. It's
growth and the extension Of its work
would not have been possible but for
the aid of president Roosevelt.

HOW TO MARK YOUR BALLOT
instructions for Voting on Initiative
ard Refer endum Petitions,

Salem-That there is a general
misunderstanding as to the manner
in which ballots should be marked
in voting upon referendum measures
is indicated by the fact that in ad-
dressing public meeting a few days
Iago a prominent speaker made the
assertion that in order to defeat a
referendum measure one must vote
Yes. This was an error. Ballots
are to be marked in exactly the same
manner as to both initiative and ref
|erendum measures. Those who wish
ia bill enacted or proposed consti-
tutional amendment adopted should
mark their ballots before the word
Yes. :" Those who are opposed to it
should vote No" Whether sub
mitted under the referendum or pro-
posed by initiative, the measures ap-
pear upon the ballot in exactly the
same form. A bill that has been
passed by the Legislature and has
been referred to the people stands in
the same position as a measure that
has been proposed by initiative.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
EORBlDS GLAD HAND.
Corrupt Practices Act May Be Found
Unconstitutional,

Salem-That the corrupt-practices
bill, to be submitted to a vote of the
people under the initiative and ref
erendum, is in direct conflict with
that section of the Constitution which
guarantees freedom of speech is be-
lieved by many who have read the
measure. The bill makes it a crime
for any person to ask, solicit or in
any manner try to induce or per-
suade a voter on election day to vote
for or against any candidate or meas
ure. This would bar the use of any
kind of argument on election day and
there is doubt whether it would be
constitutional.
Under this section of the law it is
probable that newspapers published
on the morning of election day would
be prohibited from printing anything
calculated to influence voters in de-
termining how to mark their ballots.
The words lin any manner try to
induce or persuade" would cover a
multitude of acts. Candidates who
went to the polls and extended the
glad hand to voters would unques-
tionably come within the terms of
the act, for it is common knowledge
that warm handshake is one of the
most potent means of getting votes.

MAROONED ON GLACIER,
Nineteen Japanese Fishermen Found
Freezing and STARVING,

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 17.-Cast
ashore on Malaspina glacier near va
kutat, Alaska, November 5, after a
severe gale lasting ~ hours, 19
members of the Japanese fishing
schooner Satsuma Maru lived in a
camp at the foot of the glacier for
three months. Then nine of them
escaped in their sampan to Yakutat,
where the ship Jeanie was hailed.
The Jeanie went to the glacier
that afternoon. With seven sailors
the japanese sampan, which was
towed to the glacier by the Jeanie,
put off towards the beach to rescue
their comrades. The Jeanies big
lifeboat followed in the wake of the
sampan, but did not approach the
surf.
The sampan had hardly entered
the surf when it was rolled over re-
picked up unconscious by the life
boat. and taken back to the ship a
mile away. The officers of the Jeanie
saw the catastrophe and the ship
wrecked men on shore rushed into
the sea and took out the bodies Of
the other three sailors. Whether
they were alive or dead is not
known. The Jeanie stood off for two
hours, but the sea was running so
high that no boat could live to pass
the surf. A revenue cutter has
sailed to the glacier to rescue the
other men.

PRECIOUS STONES IN RIVER.
Albany Man Makes Great Finds on
Gravel Bars.

Albany-That the gravel bars of
the Willamette river are full of val
liable stones is evidenced by the
number found by j. G. Crawford, of
this city, in the past year. People
spend hours, says Mr.. Crawford,
searching on ocean beaches for
stones. which can be picked up in
ordinary gravel bars where no one
ever thinks of searching.
On the Willamette just above and
opposite this city is wide gravel
bar and on this during the past year
Mr.. Crawford has found the follow
ing stones and minerals: Agates of
various cOlors, comedians, various
shades of jasper, conglomerate jas
per, white jade, feldspar which re-
sembles the blue ground of South
Africa, indicative of diamonds; chal-
ecedony, silicas of various colors,
black obsidian, black and red obsi-
dian moon stones, opals, rubitated
quartz. ThompsOnite, serpentine,
oolitic, sandstone, saturlite, phallus
and mitioritis, composed of iron and
sulphur. On this same plain-appear-
ing gravel bar Mr.. Crawford has
found in his searches in the past
year a fossil sharks tooth, primitive
axes, pastels and mortars and paIeo-

|RAII WAY BOARD
CAN'T FIX RATES
Federal Court So Decides In WASH
IngtOn Wheat Case.
Power of Commission Limited-State
Constitution Gives Rate Making to
Legisiature-Govern Mead May
Call Extra Session-victory for
Portland Commercially.

Olympia, Wash, Feb. 15.-That
the Washington state railroad COM
mission has no authority to fix max
imum rates is the gist of decision
handed down by Judge Hanford in
the federal court in this city in de-
cision in the joint wheat rate case.
! Judge Hanford holds that under
section IS, of article XII, OF tho
state constitution, the power to es-
tablish and fix maximum freight and
passenger rates is reserved to the
Legislature and cannot be delegated
to a commission.
By this decision the usefulness of
the railroad commission as to rate
making is destroyed, and Governor
Mead stated tonight that he has un-
der consideration the advisability of
calling an extra session of the legis-
lature to consider submitting at the
next general election a proposed
amendment to the state constitution
giving the railroad commission the
power of rate making.
The decision is a victory for the o.
r. & n. and the commercial inter-
ests of Portland as opposed to the
efforts of the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern to divert Eastern
Washington wheat traffic from Port
land to Puget Sound seaports.
The case will Immediately be car
ried to the supreme court of the
United States. If the ruling is up
held in the higher court of appeals,
the state commission will have power
only to take testimony and gather
data relative to rates and forward
this to the legislature with recon-
mendations for fixing rates.

CHIlEANS CHEER FLEET,
Navy Thunders SaIute-Roosevelt and
Evans Toasted.

Valparaiso, Feb. 15.-The great
American fleet of 6 battleships, un-.
der command of Rear-Admiral
Evans, passed Valparaiso yesterday
afternoon and continued on it's voy-
age northward for Callao, Peru, the
next stopping place. All Valparaiso
and thousands of persons from every
city in Chile witnessed the passing
of the fleet
President Montt and the other
high officials of the republic came
out from shore to greet the battle
ships, and almost the entire Chilean
navy exchanged salutes with them as
they swung around Curaumilla Point
and into Valparaiso Bay in single
file, headed by the Chilean cruiser
Chacabuco and five Chilean torpedo
boat destroyers.
President Montt and other Chilean
officials embarked on the training
ship General Baquedano and took a
position well out in the harhor.
Around the Baquedano the fleet
swung at a speed of four knots, fir
ing the presidential salute as they
passed in review. 1t was one hour
from the time the head of the fleet
entered the bay until the last vessel
had passed the presidents ship and
turned toward the open sea.

LARGE RETURNS FROM COWS
Tillamook Dairymen Make Over 500
Year per Cow.

illamook-Another cooperative
cheese factory to make it's annual
report is that of the Red Glover
Creamery Company, which makes a
good showing and is exceedingly
flattering to the dairymen who take
their milk to this cheese factory.
Following are some of the interest
ing figures in the report: Amount of
milk received for the year, / ,739, ,04S
pounds; amount of butter fat con-
tanned in milk, 6S,577.7 pounds;
average test, .03943 per cent :;
195,009 pounds; returns received,
$27, ,692.06; average price received
IA TO cents per pound f. o. b. Tilla-
NOOK average yield, 11.21 pounds
per 100 pounds of milk.
The price paid the patrons for
butter fat kept at high price dur
ing the whole year, as the following
figures will show: January, 30.5
cents; February, 2S27 cents; March,
36 cents; April, 1856 cents; May,
34.37 cents; June, 34.96 cents; July,
34.0S cents; August, 36.78 cents;
36.16 cents; October, So
cents; November, 36.5 cents; Decem-
ber, 1898 cents.
AS the numerous cheese factories
Of Tillamook county are making
their annual returns, the dairymen
are now in position to know the
results of their years work, who are
figures with previous
years, and as a result of this large
number of dairymen have made over
500 per COW for last year, and con-
that they raise all their own
feed on their farms ,and do not have
20 buy mill feed, the profit in dairy
ng last year was exceedingly large,
hey receiving their pay every
month. AS an illustration of this,
w. B. Alderman has made $2,3S5.96
rom 81 COWS, or $11361 per COW

Abolish Race Track

Oakland, Feb. ia mass meet
ing was held here tonight to devise
a means of abolishing the racetracl1
at Emeryville. There was a large
attendance. President Benjamin Ide
Wheeler, of the University of Cali

stated that racing horses, of itself,
is not harmful, but that the betting
ring which goes with the modern
racetrack is one of the worst insti-
tutions of the times. He also took
occasion to score bridge whist.

TAkAhiRA SAYS no WAX"
Mercenary Newspapers Have Caused
All ths Disturbance.

New York, Feb. 17.-Declaring
that war between the United States
and Japan would be the most ''in-
human event in the worlds history"
and was too hellish" to be thought
Iof, Baron Kogoro Takahira, the new
japanese ambassador to Washing
ton, said today, upon landing in New
York from the steamer Etruria, that
the Japanese know absolutely moth
ing of a break in the cordial rela-
tions which have been historic be-
tween the two nations. Talk of war,
Baron Takahira declared, with much
emphasis, was utterly unintelligible
to him, unless, as some one had sug-
gested, it was spread broadcast to
serve the commercial ends of some
newspapers.
The new ambassador said there
might be some matters pending in
Washington which would require
his attention, but they were not SER
ious. AS to the cruise of the Amer
lean fleet to the Pacific ocean, he
regarded it pGrely as a naval man
euver on grand scale-designed to
show to the world at large that
America has a wonderful naval pow
er which can be dispatched any
where at moments notice "in sup
port of legitimate cause which al
ways is at the bottom of American
Baron Takahira will leave for
Washington tomorrow morning at
IL o'clock to present his credentials
to President Roosevelt. He is a
warm personal friend of Mr. Roose-
welt, and is looking forward to his
with the chief executive
with a great deal of pleasure. The
baron is returning to the American
capital after an absence of two years
