gained she must hold her present
supremacy in the race of which
her people are a part.
So it came to pass in the full
ness Of time that the cloud with
a war lining rose over the little
hermit nation Of Korea. That
sleepy nation which has never
been awakeded is only peuinsu-
la of eighty-five thousand square
miles of territory; ten and half
million of people, whose God is
the Emperor, vi Hung. Armies
have marched across her bound
aries and met in conflict at her
capital, but when it was all over
and blood stains wers washed
away she lapsed again into the
sleep of the past.
Likened unto bear which has
fought for supremacy in other
fields than its own legitimate
stamping grounds, Russia has
steadily crept from the limits of
her European boundaries, and by
means of the rails of steel has an
INITIATED the distance to the Pa
cific coast. With one fell swoop
of her powerful paw, Manchura
has fallen within her embrace.
With further designs upon other
portions of the Chinese Empire,
Russia has steadily pushed on
ward in her conquest of the East.
The ambitions of her ministers of
affairs were boundless. The
eastern and western movement
toward the Pacific is on. The
completion of the trans-Siberian
railroad has brought the matter
to focus. Japan looked toward
the west. She looked toward the
east. She felt the pressure of
the forces in motion; saw her own
people willing and anxious. Saw
her needless neighbors across the
bays and CULTS and realizing it
was time for her to act, Japan,
acted.
Russia, with evident designs
upon the hermit nation of Korea
paused in her building of a fur
ther extension to her road to that
Empire. Another maneuver must
be tried. Russia must first m AXE
her influence felt on the peninsu-
la; must secure favor and plant
Russian sentiment aud thereby
reap the harvest of her control,
eventually and without dispute.
Therefore the burden is upon
Russia to prove that she has su-
perior rights in her contemplated
control of the principal ports of
entry in the Orient.
Siberia must be developed.
That is the motive back of the
contest.
But the development of the
great Siberian frontier must not
be continued longer atthe exploit
alton of the people with a yellow
skin. A champion has risen up
for them. Plucky little Japan
does not propose that her einfiu-
ence shallbc curtailed. Not, at
least in Korea. She has cast her
die in the current of events and
bids fair defiance to further in.

She is the protectress of her race.
On the other hand it ls said
that the Gar is desirous for an
amicable settlement of the situa.
ton and the questions involved.
His advisors are for war.
| So the war cloud which alose

Jack Barnes and Charles Price own one of the greatest gold veins ever discovered in the west, near Bill Will. jams Fork, eighteen miles below Sig. nal, which they are negotiating the sale of to the Gnggenheims. The vein is 5000 feet wide and outcrops for more than three miles. The massive vein is made up of great streaks of ore, averaging from F feet to 50 feet in width, these streaks separated only by small intrusions of granite and por- phyry. The ore carries a small per centsge of copper and good values in gold. A 50-foot streak has been cut through and the ore gave an average value of l2S gold, together with nice percen age of copper. It is said that the average of the whole vein will make it of grade sufficiently high to adm of milling every pound of ore in it. An expert for the firm will be on the ground within few weeks to make a thorough examination of the mine and the possibility of working it on an extensive scale.

The different boards Of super

tax rate for the coming year, and
within the next few weeks it is OK.
pected that all of the counties will
have reported to the auditor their
tax rate for the coming year. 1t is
not believed that there will be any
material increase in the tax levy this
year IN the counties. In some of
them, OF course, there will be
an increase, but in the great majority
the rate will remain the same. The
increase in the county rate can be
accounted for in most of the counties
on the ground that the supervisors
have adopted the contract system for
working the public roads, which
t takes one mill more, this being the
unit allowed by law for working
the public roads by contract.

Holding Their Crop.

The farmers of Mississippi are be
coming convinced that higher prices
will prevail for cotton this year, anC
they are holding the product to await
the advance. The reports from the
principal market towns show that
the receipts are far below cxpecta-
tons, and it seems that whenever
the farmers can make financial ar
engagements to do so they are storing
the staple, feeling confident Of an
advance in prices later on, Some of
them are so sanguine that they pre-
dict 15-cent cotton before the end Of
the season. The banks are giving
material aid in the effort to hold
back the crop by making substantial
loans to the farmers who are in need
of money.
