(J reat val ue Post, "mjikc diplomatic relations between Germany and Russia, which are already bad, much Ncustc Nachnchten declares Russia is unable to appreciate their considerate friendship. The paper characterizes tho Russian volunteer fleet' of steamers as "Imperial Russian Licensed Sea and and demands that the most energetic measures bo taken in the matter.

The foreign office has cabled the German consul at Port Said for an authentic version of tho capture. Officials discuxs the with an evident attempt to keep cool, but they betray a deep Boated indignation at Russia's course. Germany has no warships in the Red Sea and the question of sending vessels there has not yet been considered, but the officials plainly in-, tiniate that the question must arise unless Russia speedily orders the captains of her volunteer fleet steamers to ease molesting German shipping. private advices received in this city report that the vmoko here is tho result of forest fire in Washington, there being one burning fiercely near Seattle, and three other fires in other parts of tbo state. Last week Mr.

John Evans and a party of friends who are sending the summer at Skamokwa, Washington, while smoking bees from a tree allowed the fire to get out and were obliged to battle for three with the flames 1fore they were subdud. Tho burning of Mr. J. F. -Petzcl's mill at Irtish a 'few days ago may be responsible for some of the smoke now in evidence, as alarge Biimler of trees burned and at the present time the great heap of saw'' lust upon the mill sito is sending up Mount l'celec signals.

Bsarsth i yf Kmd tw Hats iwar Eot Bifnatars WATER FRONT NOTES. The waters of the Willamette ar slowly falling to- low water mark, being now but one foot, from' the -lowest mark. Steamers are making daily trips, however, between Portland and Salem, and expect -to do so throughout tho summer. nThe passenger- traflio has been light for some time, but the freight receipts have been exceptionally good for this season. The snag boat Mathloma is still nt work near Salem, removing obstructions from the river.

This is aceom. plished wilk comparative easo nt this season of the year when tho water is low enough to lc readily located. The greatest impediment to traffic is a sand bar near Lamberts -Landing, -but as no provision has been made for its removal, it will perhaps continue to bo a menace to shipping interests for some timo to come. President W. H.

Downing, of tho State Agricultural Association, was a visitor at, this office yesterday and reported that there was the greatest number of fast that is to say very fast horses at the State Fair Grounds ever seen there before, and tho greatest number of good horse ever there at this time of year. lie said the traek never was so fast; never before was in so good condition and that there was every prospect 'of having the best race meet Oregon ver saw, We have to get a new water cart aad sprinkler for the track." said President Downing, "because we can not get enough water on the traek at present. I i do not see either," said he, what we are going to do for room, for there are too. many people looking for booth and concession space. However, we will try to do the best we can to care for them." As the Greater Balem, stake is always the principal pacing event during State Fair week, so the Lewis and Clark stake is the principal trotting event of the meet.

There are seventen entries to this stake this year, and a splendid race ought to be the result. The list of en tries includes the name of Briny K. This horse, it will be remembered, re ceived second money in this race last year, which Dr. Hammond won. This year he will be handled by W.

G. Durfee, of Los Angeles, California. Mr. Durfee was the man who last year own ed Sweet Marie, the mare that would undoubtedly have won the Lewis and Clark stake then had not she and ber driver, been suspended after tho second beat. Mr.

Durfee 's horses won all the other principal events at the Fair last, year. With Mr. Durfee in the sulky. Briny will have to bo counted in the reckoning, when the horses face tho starter for the Lewis and Clark stake next September. While reviewing list year's race one must not forget the winner of third money, Thomas 11.

Brent's bay mare Belladi, by Chehalis-Caution. Bclladi Has plenty of'speed, which is shown by her recent fast' work-outs. Mr. Brent's other entry is Helen Norle, that splendid little mare that holds a three-ycar-obl record of 2:17. Helen is as steady as'cloekwork, and has plenty of but here must be; taken into consideration that other i youngster, Lady Jones, that recently caused a sensation by stepping a milo It would he simply guessing to say which of these two is the faster, but both are looked upon as likely candidate's for honors in tho stake.

Bed Skin, entered by 8. 8. Bailey, of Seattle, may also have a looK-in uerore tno race is ueeuieo. i no writer does not know if this is his fastest record, but Bed Skin won a heat last year in the tune of 2:16. There are many other good horses, including Boy Benton, Bird Catcher, The Commonwealth.

No Further Delay In" the Erection of tlie Breyman Memorial I Fountain. I 'fNot until a report Is made to the eity council and fie eommitteo is fhrested with greater powers, will step be taken toward the layme or tho ee ment sidewalk or the putting in of tho carting on the Breyman fountain sue by the -committee! on parks," says Chairman C.

Ilubbard, of that eom mittee. 1 1 "Not until the cement sidewalk and the eurbine is built alone that end of Willson avenue and the foundation site, will take any steps toward the erec tion of the memorial fountain," says Mr. Werner I Such was the status of the progress being made In the location and installation of the Breyman memorial fountain, as matters stood late yesterday afternoon, but it is understood that the broach, has been bridged over since, and that the work will proceed without further hitcB or disturbance. The trdtffHe between the members of the park commffteo anTTMr. Breyman was only of a trifling nature and simply arose over the question of the interpretation 'of the council's orders to the committee in vesting them "with power to act," the committee not feeling authorized to shoulder tho responsibility of going to the expense of building tbo cement sidewalk and curbing on the part "of the city) while Mr.

Breyman thinks that it would be an outrage to expect- him to go ahead with the erection of the fountain upon a site which looks more like a desert waste than a public park. Other members of the committee, who are in favor of going ahead with the work, leading up to the installation of the fountain, say that the trouble is simply due to a misunderstanding as to the order of procedure and that as soon as some practical and reasonable method Is adopted between the committee and Mr. Breyman, as to Before the fountain can be put in its place it will be necessary to make cer- tain excavations, put in water pises and establish a drain for the fountain. and bv fiie time this will have been completed, the date of the next council meeting will have rolled around and, if tho committee thinks it needs more authority, it can be obtained without causing any delay in the work. Mr.

Breyman, as is the case with the public in general, is only. anxious to get the fountain in place at the earliest possible moment, not only, for the purpose of improving th'e looks of the avenue, but in order that the city may get the lwnefit of the improvement during the visit of, the hundreds, of people to the Htatef'Fair. It will require much work and tfho to get the fountain up and in working order and Mr. Breyman thinks that nothing should be allowed to stand in the. way of its establishment.

It is now understood, as said before, upon good authority, that tho work will now proceed without further needless delay. Mr. Breyman will put the fountain in place at his own expense. Hon. K.

ANOTHER OH WELL. Oil Reported on tn Cone Farm Some Distance South of tho Big Discovery at Pratwa. A. J. Cone, whose farm is about a mile and a half distant from Pratum, believes that he has made a discovery that eauals the now famous Rice "crusher." For some time past the water in his well has had peculiarly oily taste, so nun mat it nas at various tunes been abandoned, but until the recent oil excitement Mr.

Cone made no laves-tigation of the matter, although much puzzled at the peculiar flavor of the The well roars continuously, in a manner similar to that of the Biee well, and so confident is Mr. Cone that oil la paying quantities is flowing be neath the surface of bis broad acres, that he- has arranged for a force of men to begin pumping and making excavations upon the property tomorrow morning.

W. E. Ellison; the Oklahoma agent, was entrusted with the extradition warrant and will conduct the prisoner back 1 to faco tho charges against him.

The extradition arrant was executed upon a blank orm which bore tho signature of Governor Chamberlain.

The Lokal Anzeiger, Tag-eblatt and the Post, however, comment ed on the event and assumed a very in dignant tone.
