AN American firm has been given

AN American firm has been given
the contract to supply the city OF
Toxic with water pipes. Bids were
submitted by manufacturers of Eng
land. Germany. Belgium and other
European countries. but the Ameri-
can bidder, as stated above, was sue
cessful in securing the contract.
This business tran. action means nj
least two things: First, that the
Japs know a good thing when they
see it. and secondly, that America
can compete with the world in the
manufacture of iron products. 1t
indicates also that the democratic
party is correct in its position that
the iron industry needs little or nc
taIiT for protection.

Why We Eat Soup First.

1t has been remarked that the habit of
beginning dinner with soup doubtless
grew out of the fact that aliment in this

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 5.-The Cana
dian government has let a contract for
the carrying Of mails from Juneau,
Alaska, to Forty Mile Creek. which is
also in the territory always claimed by
the United States, but which Canada is
now asserting claim to. 1t is asserted
that for foreign country to let a con-
tract for the transmission Of mails into
the territory Of another government Is
something practically unheard Of in in
ternational affairs. It would seem that
it would only mean that the Dominion
of Canada, Great Britain's dependency,
is bound to uphold at all hazards
her claim to that strip Of terri
tory extending from and taking
in Juneau to the rich gold fields Of the
Yukon river. The Canadian govern
ment thus executes q coup d'etat in es-
tablishing communication with the
Yukon country, the United States hav-
ing no postal service there, and the
miners now pay private carriers 81 .
letter for carrying their mail. This
move, following the Canadian govern
ment's sending a detachment Of
mounted police to Forty Mile Greek, is
taken as a clear indication of that
country's determination to posses the
disputed territory.

an ultimatum to the porte, threatening
to force the passage of the Dardanelles
unless frmans are issued within 72
hours permitting the passage of extra
guard ships. No other specials men

port is probably untrue. A Constanti-

this subject that unless f1rman is soon
issued the powers will sent an ultima.
tum. This correspondent also says that
the Sivas massacre lasted six days, and
that thousands of Armenians were
killed. Panic reigns among the Chris
tians of Jerusalem and Beyrout.
No Disturbances For Eight Weeks.
The Times has dispatch from Con
stantinople which says: The military
policy adopted here has proved effica-
cious, since no disturbances have oc.
CURED for eight weeks. Even the ar
rests of Armenians, although repre-
sented as acts of barbarity, are in prin-
ciple highly judicious, becavse they rid
the city of somewhat dangerous ele-
ment. In some cases the choice of sub
jects is infelicitous, but on the whole
the measure is distinctly beneficial.
The city is assuming its tranquil as
pect. Thus the sultan has strong
argument for opposing the entrance Of
the guardships, and certainly the>moral
influence of the combined European
fleets waiting at the gates of the em.
pire is immeasurably greater than the
mere doubling of the guardships.

FARGO, N. D., Dec. 5.-The receivers

The best land that the company has in

many more are in a precarious. condi-

that the negroes had been poisoned is
based on the fact that the farmers in

poisoned slops to their hogs to prevent
the negroes from stealing their pork.
