the other nations to preserve the in
tegrity of China and hold down the
war to Manchuria and Korea, with
Japan and Russian of course thrown
in, as there will be nothing to prevent
the billigerants from roaming all over
those countries if they have the nerve
and inclination to do so. But China
is a very delicate matter with many of
the European nations, and the note of
Secretary Hay does not seem to have
met with a hearty o. K. by some of the
powers. In the meantime the war
goes on and there is no telling how
many fences and walls the dogs of war

Russia has at last abolished the
censorship on all news and other tele-
grams going abroad. A report saws
that the lifting of the embargo, which
has existed for generations, upon the
free transmission of news from the
Russian empire came as direct re-
suit of consideration of the subject by
the car himself, and in some respects
this abolition is regarded here as the
most Important act since the enamel
patton of the serfs. Perhaps if Russia
gets it in the neck a few more times
she will begin to get civilized. She
wants to butt in with the world lust a
little bit more. Russia may not be
half as bad as pictured, but it is her
fault.

break away from the dollar mark and
easily went beyond that price, climb

Before and After.

In holding up Judge Collins as an
anti-merger candidate the professional
omce-seekers who are backing him
take good care not to remind the pub
lie of his former well-known friendli-
ness to corporate interests. Judge
Collins has been before the public in
an official capacity a long time, and
until the recent announcement of his
candidacy, even his closest friends
never suspected him of being so
chronicly anti-merger as some would
have us now think.-Swanville News.

Many of the large timber owners Of
the country are calling on the bureau
of forestry of the government for
working plans for the cutting and
conserving of many tracts of timber.
The bureau of forestry has been de-
mOnstrating the value of such work
and it's experts are kept busy Offering
suggestions to timber owners who are
beginning to realize what the work
means and the great value that il is
to timber preservation. Mr.. Fred
erick Weyerhauser, president of the
Weyerhauser Timber Co., has SIGNED
an agreement with the bureau of for
estry by which the bureau agrees to
prepare working plans for the conser-
vative management of about 1000. 900
acres of the company's timber lands
in Washington. By the agreement,
the Weyerhauser company agrees to
defray the living and travelling ex-
penses of agents of the Bureau en-
gagged in the work. The Northern
Pacific Railway Co. has also re-
quested that the bureau of forestry
prepare working plans for it's enor-
nous timber land holdings in Wash
ingtOn and Idaho. Last summer a.
party of foresters made study of the
Norway pine on the lands of certain
"Weyerhauser companies" near
Cloquet, Mimi, and working plan
for these lands is now in preparation.

INSTRUMENTATION and ahuse

The Minneapolis Journal, as an ad-
