NOW IN GOOD STANDING
New Republic of Panama Officially Recog=
nized by United States and Act Has Far
reaching Effect.

nieE 'Gurlng- the day to Mr.. Ehrman,
the acting consul general of the Unit
ed States at Panama:
THE people of Panama have, by an
apparently unanimous movement. dis.
solved their political relations with
the republic of Colombia and assumed
their independence. When you are
satisfied that de facto government
stantial opposition from its own peo.
pie has been established in the state
of Panama you will enter into rela-
tions with it as the responsible gov
ernment of the territory and look to it
for all due action to protect the per-
sons and property of all citizens of
the United States and to keep open the
isthmian transit in accordance with
the obligations of existing treaties
governing the relations of the United
States to that territory"
Message to Minister Beaupre.
Immediately afterward an instruc.
tion was sent by telegram to Mr..
Beaupre. the United States minister
al Bogota, in the following terms:
The people of Panama, having by
dissolved their political connection
with the republic of Colombia and re-
sumed their independence and having
adopted government of their own,
republican III form. with which the
government OF the United States of
America has entered into relations
the president of the United States. in
accordance with the ties of friendship
which have so long and SO happily
existed between the respective ma
tions, most earnestly commends to
the governments of Colombia and OF
Panama the peaceful and equitable
settlement of all questions at issue
between them. He holds that he is
bound not merely by treaty obliga
tions but by the interests of civiliza
ton to see that the peaceful traffic OF
the world across the isthmus of Pan
anna shall not longer be disturbed by
a constant succession of unnecessary
and wasteful civil wars"

Washington, Nov. THE United

Commander Hubbard cabed that

SHELLS CORN WITH THREsHER,
Minnesota Farmer Finds il SussessfuI
Method Of Smelling Corn.

Farmer Finds il sussessful
Method Of Smelling Corn.
An innovation in the manner of
handling the corn crop was inaugura-
ed few days ago by George Jacobson,
one of the substantial farmers of the
county, living near Hickson, Mimi.
Mr.. Jacobson has an interest in a
number of elevators in the southern
portion of the county and has very
large farm. A few days ago he de
sired to shell his corn and not having
a shredder on the place and not hav-
ing time to get one from town he put
his large threshing machine into ser
vice and decided to see what sort OF
work an ordinary wheat thresher
would do in the way of shelling and
shredding his corn crop, and is en-
thusiastic over the result attained.
Mr.. Jacobson's separator Is 42x64
inch and his engine Is O-horse
power compound. Before he com
menced work he removed two rows of
the concave teeth and then started
eight bundle wagons into the field.
At the machine two men were en-
gagged on each side to pitch the corn
onto the carrier Of the self feeder and
the results were marvellous. The ma
chine shelled the corn in elegant
shape, not cracking scarcely a kernel
and the stalks were worked up in fine
style for fodder and was so light that
the wind stacker handled it without
trouble whatever. The fodder cannot
be handled very well with an ordi-
nary pitch fork as it is so fine. Mr.
Jacobson is delighted with the man
ner in which the machine did the
work and he states that the threshins
of the corn was not nearly as hare
on the engine and separator as thresh
ing fax would have been. He ha!
several large fields Of corn and viii
use the thresher in handling it. as HI
saws that there is not shredder OF

work so well His thresher is Sc
