There is good deal of humor and
some very sound logic in the letter
which a certain farmer of Perham,
Mimi, wrote to the Game and Fish
Commission. He inclosed them a bill
for S54 As for corn, which he claimed
the prairie chickens had eaten from
his fields. The chickens, of course,
belong to the state and are state
charge. The farmer is not permitted
to slaughter them for his own use, not
withstanding the fact that they commit
depredations On his crops during
each of the 365 days of the year.

Why Rsassia WAnss 1kofoAf
Chiefly because of It's position. Ko-
rea is an extension OF Manchuria
which practically belongs to Russia.
In the natural development OF contigu-
Gus territory Russian merchants have
crossed the boundary into Korea and
Russian interests accumulating there
under the weak native government
naturally look to the car for protec-
ton.
Why is Korea Of strategic value to
Russia2
For two reasons: First, Russian
vessels must make a long detour
around Korea to pass from Vladivos-
tok, Siberia, to Port Arthur, the Rus
sian harbor in Manchuria. In this
journey they must traverse narrow
strait between Korea and Japanese
island, comparable to Gibralter. 70
insure free passage Russia seeks to
control the end of the Korean PENN
sula. Second, when Russia begins its
anticipated ABSORPTION of China it
would be Inconvenience if hostile
power should have military base on
the northeastern coast of Asia. There
fore, it desires to annex Korea.
Why does Japan object to Russian
annexation of Korea?
Because Japan is oyercrowded with
a population twelve times as dense as
that of the United States, and it seeks
an outlet for its immigrants on the
mainland. The island empire has
hoped to make Korea the base of an
attempt to extend Japanese influence
throughout China. Furthermore, it
now conducts nine-tenths of Korea IS
commerce and owns Korea's two rail
roads. And, finally, Japan holds its
own independence would bemenaced
were Russia to gain the harbor at the
end Of Korean peninsula almost within
cannon range Of the Japanese island
fortress of Tsushima.
Does Japan want to annex Korea?
No. It is satisfied to maintain Ko-
rea's sovereignty with the expectation
that it's natural advantages of situa-
ton will give it the lions share OF
Korea's trade.
When did the trouble between Japan
and Russia begin? -...... .a.-
It began in 1895 when by war Japan
had forced China to recognize Korea S
independence and to grant Japan the
southern end of Manchuria. Russia
forced Japan to give up Manchuria,
seized the surrendered territory and
secured a timber cutting concession in
the Yalu valley in Korea.
What brought On the present crisis?
Last year Russia advanced the claim
that the timber concession extends to
the valleys of all rivers tributary to
the Yalu and that it gives the Rus
SLAMS the right to build railways and
to monopolize the port of Yongampho
at the Yalu S mouth.
Did Russia announce it's intention
to annex Korea? -.-.~--
1t did not. But Japan took the
ground that it's procedure meant vir-
tual annexation and so issued a pro-
test.

Just when the last faint glimmer of
hope had waved its sad farewell, and
the gloom of despair, deep, impene-
trable and full of dire forbodings was
settling over this Office; when the
prospect of living bereft of part OF the
joys and many of the benefits Of life;
when it was impossible to shake off
the foreboding that some dreadful ca
lamity, fringed with the fragments of
letters of vice was hanging over the
otherwise happy hearthstone of this
establishment, there came a ray of
sunlight; it broke in through the
| windows; it danced upon the case; it
was reflected from the bright sides of
the type and the beaming countenan-
ces of the compositors; there was hope.
Some indefnable premonition fore
told us all that the desire of our
hearts was about to meet its fulfill
| ment.

not been wasted-the seeds have come!

We trust that both the candidates
for clerk Of this city, and any others
that may take it into their heads to be
candidates, will eliminate all person
alities from the contest. Both the

sonal character is concerned, are too
good to stoop to vilifying each other
and trying to dig up some mud to
sling. They can't afford to do it..
Some stories have been circulated that
if followed up will make strife and i'll
feeling but if allowed to stop where
they are will be forgotten, and we be-
lieve that if the candidates both knew
of it, they would take steps to prevent
! further circulation of them.

BUTTER AND EGGS.

Frank W. Mahin, consul at Noting
ham, Eng, states that England relies
to great extent upon imports for
its butter and eggs. English butter
is generally unsaled and becomes RAN
cid in day or two, while the butter
imported from Denmark resembles
the American dairy product and will
keep sweet and fresh indefinitely.
Danish butter sells for from 25 to 80
cents, the price ruling 2 to 6 cents
less than the home product, Much
more Danish butter than English but
ter is used in England, one grocer
alone in Nottingham selling ton of
it week. England's annual importa-
tions of butter aggregate in value
about S90,000,000, the most of it com
ing from Denmark. The eggs sold in
Nottingham are Of three kinds-new-
laid eggs, fresh eggs and eggs. New
laid" eggs are brought from neighbor-
ing farms and sell Just now for SO
cents dozen; fresh eggs" are sup.
posed to come from ireland, and re-
tail at 80 cents; eggs" are imported
from foreign countries, chiefly from
Russia, and sell for about IS caars a
dozen. The value of these imported
eggs is about $30,0O0,00O annually, OF
which the United States sends less
than $1,000.000 worth.
