OPEN DOOR ASSURED.
All Nations, Save Italy and Japan
Sign Agreement

Washington, Jan. 24.-The success
of the negotiations instituted by Sec
rotary Hay with the view of insuring
an open door for American trade in
China, may now be regarded as as
sured. The last phase of the negotia-
lions reduces the arrangements
reached informally to the shape of
what are known as definitive notes.
This work has been going on for some
weeks with the result that every one
of the powers participating in the ne
gotiations has returned to the state
department this written agreement
with the exception of Japan and Italy.
There is not the slightest doubt of
their positions, for Japan was one of
the first nations, when approached by
the United States, to welcome our
overtures, while Italy voluntarily en-
tered the negotiations without waiting
for advances from the United States.
The non-receipt of their formal under
takings is believed to be due to delay
in the mails, for intimations have been
given to the effect that they have al
ready been dispatched.

The news that Rudyard Kipling and
his family are going to south Africa
came as surprise and is facetitiously
attributed to the fact that they have
been driven out of England by the
ceaseless jangling in music and recta-
lions of his Absent Minded Beggar.
A representative of the Associated
Press learns that the real reason which
has prompted Mr.. Kipling to go abroad
is his desire to be in at the death"
He is especially DESTROYS of meeting
Cecil Rhodes, with whom he is on
terms of close friendship, Immediately
after the relief of Kimberley. More
over, Mr.. Kipling will utilize his trip
in gathering good literary material
But he will not unnecessarily risk his
safety, as he intends to stay at Cape
town until the conditions at the front
assume more pacific aspect.

Among the nurses who have volun-

Mrs. Sydney Goldmann,, who before
her marriage was the Hon. Agnes Peel,
second daughter of Lord Peel. Mr..
Goldman, her husband, is a south
African millionaire. Mrs Goldman
gave up her beautiful home in London
at the first call for nurses and is now
at work in the field hospitals. Her sis
ter, Mrs. Rochfort Mcguire, also mar

wealthy through south African invest

Galway, has made the suggestion that
all landlords having unoccupied cot
tages on their estates lend them to the
families of soldiers who are absent in
the field. This plan has been adopted
somewhat generally and a number of
needy families have been provided
with free lodgings as a consequence.

musical scholars. who had long told them that
the Chadaic word meant bagpipe. But what

THE FORERUNNER OF THE ORGAN
You may make your own guess as to
which of the peoples OF antiquity first conceived
the idea of sticking pipes or whistles into Il bag
so that by filling the bag with wind they could
blow more of them at once than they could
with the mouth. That is the interesting feat
ure in the development of musical Instruments
that the bagpipe illustrates. It's the primitive
organ, cont you see. The wind chest of the
modern organ, in " hich wind is forced by means
OF bellows, is only a development of the ancient
windbaG which had pipes stuck into it and was
inflated with breath from the players lungs
And here attention ought to be called To the
fact that, although the Irish didn't invent the
bagpipe. to them is conceded the credit of hav-
ing introduced the Improvement doubtless sug-

Booming the Project for 4 Beet Factory
in the State.

Grand Forks Herald: Senator "A. O..
McGilliyray, Of Dickinson, while in the
city to attend the meeting Of the repub-
lican state central committe, expressed
himself emphatically in favor Of the es-
tablishment of a beet sugar factory
somewhere in North Dakota. He has
devoted a good deal Of time to the study
Of the question and isquite familiar with.
the subject. "a relative Of his operates
q factory at Caro-, Mich, and Mr.. Nc
Gillivray has obtained a vast amount of
useful information from him. The Caro-
factory is a 100000 institution, this
being one Of the lines of business which
cannot be carried on in a small plant.
The factory has brought wealth to the
entire community, as, not only has the
town increased in population, but the
value Of farm property tributary has
more than quadrupled. The proprietor
of this factory is willing to start a fac
tory in North Dakota, if he receives en-
enlargement sufficient to warrant him
in making the outlay. He has ample
capital, but would want assurance Of
stock enough to keep his factory running
until the profitable nature OF the enter
prise can be demonstrated.
The soil and climate Of North Dakota
produce the finest sugar beets in the
world. The records of any experiment
station or OF any chemical analysis ia
which beets from this state have been
placed in competition with those from
other states show that the North Dakota
beets have proven higher in saccharine
qualities than any other. Doubt has
been expressed as to the ~practicability
OF raising raising beets here for the
manufacture of sugar because of the
severe frosts early in November which,
Of course, would freeze the beets solid.
Mr.. McGilliyray says that this is not an
objection at all, as freezing does not in
lure the beets if they can be kept frozen.
Any n who has spent a winter in
North Dakota can give abundant assur.
ance on this point.
