number of European powers to ascer-
tain il they are willing to join in a
notice to Russia and Japan that dur

Patience Exhausted.

Toxic. Feb. THE severance of
diplomatic relations between Russia
and Japan appears to be only a step
toward war, although when the min
listers of Russia and Japan withdraw
from their respective posts quick and
decisive action is expected. When
Minister of Foreign Affairs Komura
on Saturday notified Baron de Rosen
the Russian minister, of Japan's de
termination to sever diplomatic rela
tions. he is reported to have declared
to him that Japan is tired of Russia's
delays, evasions and insincerity and
has decided to take independent ac.
ton for the conservation of Japan's
oriental interests.
Japan's repeated requests for an i'm
mediate answer were treated in a
most unsatisfactory manner. Japan
waited until convinced that 1t was
useless to wait longer under the dis
cussion.

London, Feb. S.-Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese minister, has informed
the Associated Press that military
steps contemplated by Japan for the
preservation of its interest in the far
east have already commenced. The
minister was careful to point out, how
ever, that this does not mean actual
hostilities. but strategetic action
through the pouring of Japanese
troops into Korea and Manchuria.
This, he states, is now in progress.
Baron Hayashi calculates that force
adequate to meet any emergency will
have been fully disembarked within
two or three days. He regards the
breaking off of negotiations as tanta-
mount to war and does not look for
and formal declaration. The minister
reiterates the statement that the Rus
sian reply was not delivered and de-
clares his belief to be that 1t never
was sent.

LAND OFFICE RECEIPTS.
FIatterino Increase Over the Month
Of January Last Year.


Helena, Feb. 3.-State Land Regis
ter John p. Schmit yesterday made
settlement for the last half of the
month of January with State Treasur-
er A. II. Barret, paying into the ex-
chequer the sum of $7,650.34. The
amount paid over in the settlement
for the first half of the month was
S12.767.3S, making total of s2O,417.-
72 for January.
These figures show steady growth
in the business of the state land de-
partment as they are s2.950.5O in ex.
cess of the receipts of the Office for
the same month last year.
The amount paid into the treasur-
er's office yesterday was apportioned
among the various funds as follows:
School income. .$2,365.SS
Permanent school .......... 3,717.00
| University bond ......... 213.56
Permanent university. 80. 10000
Capitol building interest and
sinking fund .......... 156.7O
Agricultural college income. $500
School of mines building inter-
est sinking. ........... 1000
Permanent agricultural col
lege. 80. ........... 60.OO
For the first two months of the
present fiscal year the receipts of the
land Office were $43,16O.S4. In the
same period a year ago the receipts
aggregated $32.73764. being an in.
crease of $10.423.20 in favor of the
present year. This is a very flatter'
ing showing for winter months, and II
seems to justify the predictions that
this years business will overtop that
of any year in the history of the Of
fee. reaching 100000.
The amount of land under lease IL
larger than ever before, and the ag
gregate of rentals received therefore
is greater than the office has ever
known. The area under lease now
reaches the total of 1,793,770 acres
from which the state receives an an
nual rental of $192,912O5.
| Two sales of state lands have been
arranged for the month OF February
these being in Missoula and RavallI
counties. the area to be offered in the
former county being large. A consid
ere Nle portion of the land in the lis,
is timbered. II is probable that the
third sale of the year will be held
In Chouteau county, but Register
Schmit has not yet decided upon the
date of The sale.

 River at Kalamazoo Damned Ul os
 the Cast-OH Crinoiine.
 Detroit Tribune.
 The alamazeo council has under con sideration the dredging of Kalamanos river from the city of Cooper us tance of several miles, for the oespen. ling of the bed in some places ana the removal of sandbars in others. The estimated cost of thorough JoD IS $30.000, and for half the money, It IS believed, the situation can be materlai- 1y improved and the damage py Hooos greatly lessened.
 If the dredging is undertaken par ticuiar attention should be paid to that portion of the river within the corpo- ration which has never recovered, even Nwith times help, from the choking of the channel received during the hoop skirt era of forty years ago, when ev- ery cast-on erinoline found It's way to las near the middle of the stream as g wounded and outraged male member spf the household could throw 1t. Those ibid hoopskirts are there yet, save the comparatively few-which are not many--raised out by fishermen with hook and line. They are there by the thousand, a plague and pestilence- breeder. They have damned the river and been damned by riversiders.
 The merits of these ancient skelteon balloons beat bfushwood blind for 'straining water and retaining resi- dunn. All sorts of floating wood trash found a foothold and lodged in them. They became shallows, and the shadows of pestilence, for which the hoopskirts were responsible. All these antique memories of the maids and mothers of many years ago should be scooped out of Kalamazoo and something done to put them out of ac- tion. though Heaven knows how 1t caT be done. Possibly a deep pit in some secluded place would hold them. They should be planted as near the centre Of the earth as possible, lest some scien- tific researcher for prehistoric remains find and exploit them as the bones ot lRre-Adamitic Kalamazooloos.
