japanese Flung Themselves Against
Russian Trenches.

Mukden, Dec. 5.-The night of Dec. 2
the japanese began a heavy artillery
fire on Poutiloff Clone Tree hill, paw
ing the way for an infantry attack.
The Russian artillery answered vigor-
Ously for several hours and then slack
ened. The japanese, imagining the
Russian fire had been silenced. flung
themselves in masses against the
trenches, where they were allowed to
come within close range and then were
met with whitening voiieys and a coun-
ter charge with the bayOnet. The Jap.
anese fled, having sustained enormous
losses
A COssack expedition which was sent
the night Of Dec. to capture Japan

An attack by japanese on Poutiloff
hill on Dec. 8 was probably due in part
TO a wish TO distract attention from
sapper operations on a neighboring hill
near the village of Shakhe, but these.
operations were discovered and re-
pulsed, and the japanese fed.
Skirmishes continue. The night Of
Nov. 30 Captain Alexandrch with thir-
~ men routed q force of fifty Japanese
by a surprise attack on the trenches.
The same night volunteers under Lieu

the best terms that can now be made.
and they do not seem unjust when the
difference in value between the mountain
waters and the waters from Utah lake
is considered
Il is proposed TO acquire sucn portions
OF the waters of these mountain streams

and assurances have been given that such
leases can be obtained at a very low

What Farmers Are to Get.
Ii is proposed In the options TO grant,
bargain and SELF TO the city all OF the
farmers rights to the perpetual use OF
tne mountain water, unless default IS
made by the city in furnishing them the
exchange water, and, in that event. they
reserve the right TO use the mountain
water only during the time that the de-
fault continues. but there can be no
forfeiture OF the contract unless the fail
ure of the city TO furnish the exchange
water continues for a period Of six
months, and then it is optional with the
farmers whether the construct shall be
terminated or not. While an absolute
and unconditional exchange of the wa
ters of the mountain streams for the lake
water would be more desirable. still the
city runs no risk OF FORGETTING the right
10 use the mountain water, because, Dy
carrying out the contemplated plan and
making the available supply of water at
Utah lake absolutely certain, ii would
render any forfeiture or even default or
interruption in the use of the water prac-
tically impossible. The essence OF the
proposed exchange agreement lies IN the
citys ability to furnish a sufficient ana
certain substitute for the mountain wa
ter.

AHard Time.

The Seattle Times, in a recent issue, gives the following account of the life of Governor John G. Brady:
 It is not generally known that Gov ernor Brady started life from a New York Founding home. When wee bit of fellow he found the streets of Gotham more comfortable place than the four walls he was taught to call home. His father was New York longshoreman and the governor lost track of his own people from the time he left them when but tot five years old.
 He was picked up by a New York society and when lad of seven years was sent West in company with a num- Der of boys and girls situated like himself. His particular chum, also New York founding, was Andrew H. Burke. Both Burke and Brady were sent to Indiana and were in due time taken into respectable homes. They drifted apart soon after and Brady never saw his young friend again until they were both gray-haired men and both fathers.
 It was in Indiana that Governor Brady received his name. He remained with the farmer who took him into his home until he was quite lad, possibly I5 years old. During that time he picked up the rudiments of an educa- tion and the taste for knowledge he gained then has never left him.
 When he was 15 years old he decided to start out for himself. He had little, if any money, and in due time was put off the train, landing, in small way station near the western boundary of Indiana. As the day drew to close young Brady naturally enough grew hungry. He was standing in front of a bake shop when the attention of lady who was waiting for train was drawn to him.
 An investigation followed; the woman gave Brady 9 cents with which to pur- chase his evening meal. Despite the protest of the woman Brady took down her name and address, and some time later he sent her that money from the plains of Western Nebraska. In fact, it was ultimately through this same woman that Governor Brady met the girl who is today his wife and is wait ing his return to the gubernatorial mansion in Sitka. In fact, he was writ ing to her when found by reporter for The Times last night.
 But to get back. Brady eventually reached Nebraska and secured employ ment on cattle ranch. He became a cowboy, in fact, and followed that life long enough to get sufficient funds wherewith to go to school. He grad ually worked his way West until he found himself in Alaska, where he has lived for a great many years.

The Imperial Academy of Sciences at St. Peters burg offers reward for fnd- ing Baron Tolls expedition party or any traces of it. Baron Edward Toll, chief of the polar expedition sent out by the Academy os Sciences, left Ben. nett Island, lying north of New Siberia, on October 26th (Nov. Sth) 1902, taking a southern direction. He was accom- panied by the Astronomer Seeberg and two Jakoota: Vastly Gorokhov, with the surname Chichak, and Nicholas Protodiakonow, with the surname Omook. The party seems to have been carried away by the ice. As the researches hitherto made have been in vain a reward of Roubles 5000 is offered by the Academy of Sciences for finding the whole expedition party, or any part of it, and reward of Roubles 25OO for giving the first indications of tracing the party.
 In his article in Harpers' magazine for February, describing his recent at tempt to ascend Mount Mckinley, in Alaska, Dr. Frederick Cooks says: @Any attempt to reach the summit is sure to prove a more prodigious task than Alpine enthusiasts are likely to realize. The area of the mountain is far inland, making the transportation of supplies and men very arduous task. It is surely the steepest of all the great mountains, and Arctic con- ditions begin at the very base. Un- like Mount St. Elias, the glaciation is not extensive enough to offer an all ice route. The prospective conqueror of this immense uplift must pick his path over broken stones, icy slopes, sharp cliffs, and an average slope of 45 de- grees for at least 14,OOO feet. It is an effort which for insurmountable diff culties and hard disappointments, is comparable with the task of an expedi- tion to reach the North Pole"
