JAPAN WANTS
PHILIPPINES

Paris, March 3l.-The papers here
persist in printing stories that the Japs
have "their eyes on the Philippines"
which they have been covetng for
long while. 1.-The next war the United
States will have on hand will be with
yellow men," says the Journal "pro-
vided the Yankees think it worth while
to fight for the islands"
A connection ofthe diplomatic corps
declares that Japan some time ago
made official representations at Wash
ington, that in case the United States
should tire of the bargain made with
Spain for the Philippines, Japan would
be glad to take the islands at even an
advance on the price paid. Japan was
the one protesting country on the oc-
casion of the United States including
the possession of the islands in the
terms demanded of Spain. In the hands
of Japan the islands would be far more
valuable than even Korea.

TIL PROBLEM SOLVED
Vivian Warren Sends in the
First Correct Answer

The first solution to the problem
published in Saturdays Silver State
was received at this office at $50 Sat
urday evening 1t was submitted by
Vivian Warren, and is as follows:
A sold 30 apples at for / cent. re-
cesying 10 cents.
P-sold 80 appies at for 1 cent. re-
ce.ving Is GEMS.
Together they sold go apples at the
rate of for 2 cents, but received rs
cents for the total number of apples
sold
& sold so apples at the rate of for
cents, receiving "a cents. The ex-
PLANTATION of the difference in the
amounts received and the solution of
the problem is this:
After A and b together had made
10 sales at the rate of apples for 2
cents. AS share of the total number
of apples was exhausted, while 3 stili
had 10 apples remaining. The SELL
ing price then changed from for 2
cents to for / cent, or BIS original
selling price. Thus, while A and B
together sold at the same rate as c,
they made l cent more on the trans
action.

had a set of boards in his possession.
Tt that time 1t was thought that TIE
boards belonged to Humboldt county,
but this was later shown to be mis-
take. Mr.. Riley instructed Mr.. Fritch-
en- to procure the boards from Mr..
Ward. stating that he would see that
Mr.. Ward got pay for them from the
county. Mr.. Ward gave the boards to
Mr.. Fritchen as requested, stating
that they were his personal property.

got to have Mr.. Ward make out bill,

convened, made it out in Mr.. Ward 3
name and presented it-222 feet Of

with him to pay Mr.. Ward. He gave
it to Mr.. Frank Kemler, for whom L.

few days later Kemler gave the money

Kemler he did not know what it was

that it was in payment for the dump
boards delivered to Mr.. Fritchen, and
no more was heard of the matter until
the letter published Saturday was re-
ceived by the Silver State.
Mr. Kemler was interviewed by the
Silver State reporter Saturday even

that this paper had no object In pub

writer of the letter was merely to ex-
press his surprise over being allowed

more than ten months. No harm was
done, and the incident may be happily
