correspondent OF Reuters Telegram Co
cables that a special edition of the No

OFF OF Diplomatic relations between
Japan and Russia. In an editorial,
this paper throws the onus for the rup-

The rupture of diplomatic relations
dos not necessarily mean war. His
tory shows cases of a diplomatic rup-
ture having lasted for years without
resulting in war, but such Instances are
rare. Tie normal course of affairs
means either war or the mediation of
third powers. We thus stand, today

be considered such powers if either
Joined Japan against Russia. The only
remaining powers likely to assist Japan
against Russia are Great Britain and
the United States. Regarding Great
Britain. the officials belief here is that
she does not desire to be embroiled, oW-
ing to her recent experiences in South
Africa and possible Russian cOmplica-
tions in India. That the United States
might possibly be the second power to
attack Russia, thus neceSSltatlnS
French action, is regarded as an eN-
treirey remote possibility and practi-
cally impossible.

 Special Agent Frank Mead will be sent to Arizona by the Indian office to investigate the proposition to restore to the public domain that portion of the twenty five -mile-square addi- tion to the Navajo reservation made in 1902, which lies to the south of the Little Colorado river. This determination was reached after a hearing before President Roosevelt at the White House, at which also were pre- sent Commissioner Jones of the Indian office; w. K. Johnson, a missionary among the NavajOes, and three of the prominent In- dians of that tribe who oppose the recession ot the land to the United states, and MT. Cornish, one of the county commissioners and a representative of the cattle interests. Some controversy has arisen between the cattle inter- eSts and ;he Indians over the stray ing of the cattle into that part of the reservation referred to. The cattle interests are an- Xious to have the land restored to the public domain, The future action of the president will be based on Agent Mead re- port. - Republican.

A Kick Coming.

A very Serious condition exists in the northern part of Gila county where the cattle ranges have been invaded by some two hundred thousand head of sheep which have not only eaten all the grass but have also consumed the browse and everything edible. The situation has been rendered more critical by the prolonged drOuth. Some cattle have died and heavy losses can scarcely be avoided. There ap- pears to be no relief in sight for the cattle owners, who are among our best citizens, many of whom have been in possession of the ranges for years, have made improvements and annually paid their taxes. The sheep men, on the other hand, have no interests in the county, and contribute nothing toward it's support, but are fast destroying taxable values and doing irrepar- able damage. The problem of how to remeday this evil is difficult of solution. The -leas- ing of the range has been much discussed but is objected to by owners of small herds who fear that weathly individuals and companies might gain mon opoly. It has been suggested that plan be devised for direct control of the range by govern ment officials, and there is no
