said Okuma has for some weeks felt
unable to continue the government and
face the upper house when it convenes
in December.
1t is understood the premier has
been contemplating resigning for some
months and has been waiting for a
time when he thought he could arrange
successor from his own party. Wis
count Kato, former minister of foreign
affairs under Okuma and now leader
of the latter's party in the lower house,
is said to be the candidate that body
and of Okuma for the premiership.
Okuma s opponents in the upper house
are advocating the appointment of
Count Marshal Tcrauchi, now governor
of Korea.
Terauchi, with the title of Marshal,
has the highest rank in the Japanese
army. Marquis Okuma is 20 years old
and has been premier for two and a
half years. 1t is considered likely that
his advanced years have something to
do with his desire to retire.

Snow Storm RACES in
Hills West Of Eugene

Eugene, Ore, Oct. 4.-Onc of the
earliest snow storms in the history of
western Oregon occurred in the noun
tains west OF Eugene Monday, accord
ing to passengers who arrived on the
Coos Bay train in the afternoon, who
reported that the ground was white
with newly fallen snow at Flagg station
"a miles west Of Eugene, near the west
end of the Mott tunnel. The snow did
not lie on the ground to any depth, and
soon disappeared, according to later ad-
vices from that region.
This streak Of snow was about a
quarter of mile wide. Just west of
that point the train ran into a very
hard rain storm, say the passengers,
but quarter of mile further west
there was no rain and the wagon
roads were dusty.
The elevation of Flagg station Is not
great, although in the midst Of the
Coast mountains 1t is less than 200 feet
higher than Eugene. The weather in
Eugene was cold all afternoon and storm
clouds could be seen in the west.

chants and business men of the city

along practically all lines and that the
prospect for good winter trade is
better than earlier prospects indicated.
Even though the national election is
approaching and political fortunes are
in the balance, business, according to
Salem merchants, is taking brighter
aspect. People, they state, are recover
ing from their panicky feelings of the
past two years and are beginning to
loosen up and be a great deal freer
with their coin. This is evidenced by
the larger number of purchases in
practically every line of dry goods,
clothing, and furnitureS

with Jason Moore

The contract which the state land
board has with Jason Moore Of New
York, covering fhc lease of Summer and
Albert lakes, in Lake county, wers
changed by the board yesterday after
noon so that Mr.. Moore, or those 10
whom he assigns the contract, will pay
the state only $4,000, with whatever
royalties may be due in January, 1918,
instead of $4,000. The terms of the

biguous. 1t did not express clearly
whether the state was to receive $780,
900 at the end Of two years after de-
.velopment operations were started, or
$4,000 for each of the two years. Mr..
Moore, who appeared before the board

snmed that he was to pay the state
only $4,000 at the end of two years,
and this being in accord with the con
struction put upon the contract by At
torney General Brown the board in
structcd that the new contract be
