NO NEED TO COMPROMISE.
Oregon Already Owns Sand Island,
Says Governor Benson.

Salem-Governor M. E. Hay, of
Washington, has written Governor Ben
son, of this state, in regard to the
boundary question long pending be-
tween the two states. 1t is understood
the Washington authorities favor an
arbitration commission to consider the
entire question.
Governor Benson has acknowledged
the receipt of the communication from
the governor of Washington and has
taken the matter under advisement.
While he will say nothing as to the
merits of the matter, it is gathered
from other sources that the Oregon au-
thorities may not be anxious to hand
the matter over to commission, since
the Supreme court of the United States
has already rendered decision in favor
Of Oregon's contention in the matter.
The principal ground for litigation
is Sand island at the mouth of the Co
lumbia. The Washington people are
now making an effort to have the case
reopened by the United States Supreme
court.

MUSIC FOR THE FAIR. .
Management Has Provided Well Along
This Line.

Music will be big feature of the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition, and
during the exposition season the finest
musical organizations of the United
States will be heard. Liberati's,
lnnes' and Ellery's bands will divide
the season and these will be heard
daily.
The temple of music is centrally To-
Gated, and in this beautiful building,
continuous concerts will be given free
from the first day of June until the
closing day on the sixteenth of Octo-
ber. A number of handsome band
stands have been erected at various
points, and these are so dispersed that
music will be heard in every part of
the grounds.
Shorter concert seasons have been
arranged for orchestras and bands from
foreign countries, and among these
will be heard the Philippine Constabu-
larry band and the national band of
Mexico. Vocal and solo instrument
concerts will as a rule be heard in the
auditorium, and this new permanent
building represents one of the very
finest halls for such purposes that is to
be found in the United States. Of
great Importance and assistance to
concerts held in the auditorium will be
the new organ which has been installed
for the exposition. This instrument
is one of the largest pipe organs yet
built, and in tone and possibilities is
not surpassed.
Interesting novelties in music will
be heard, and among these will be
noted a native Philippine band whose
instruments are entirely composed of
bamboo. The range and class of music
produced by these rudely constructed
instruments is remarkable, and the ex-
tremely crude appearance presented is
in strong contrast to the equipment of
other organizations.

reigns in government circles and the

for flight. The chief officers are mu-
tinous, the Constantinople garrision

troops said to be advancing uron the
city from the Northwest, and the new
ministers are resigning as fast as pcs
sible. 1t is doubtful if the soldiers here
can cope with the forces which, it is
rumored, are rallying to the standard
of the Young Turks.

shall clash in Constantinople. 1t is
realized here that alarming reports
from Salonika may rouse the Young
Turks, who are eager to terrorize the

OF state and all Europe looks anxiously
for the next move. The situation
closely resembled that of 1877, when
the fall of Midhat Pasha left the con-
