DOGGY HANDICAP
ON SUNDAY MORNING

There was meeting of the executive
committee of the Golf Club at the Alex
ander Young Hotel last evening and
several matters of Importance We're de-
cided.
The Bogey handicap golf competition
will occur on Sunday beginning at $3.50.
Each member will play against
Colonel Bogey" whose score for the
nine holes is forty. There will be a
match play with handicaps so that ev-
cry one will stand chance even against
the Colonel" There will be two prizes
and a fifty cent entrance fee.
Woods & Sheldon have offered a cup
to be contested for during September.
1t viii be awarded to the man making
the best eighteen holes, with handicap
during the month-attested scores only
to be considered.
All caddies are to be registered and
have buttons, which may be taken away
for misbehavor. Members are to be
requested not to employ any but regis
tered caddies.
Complaints are made that non-mem-
bers have been playing on the course
without being accompanied by mem
bers. A visitors book is to be placed
at the Club House and members are
requested to register all non-members
who accompany them on the course.

WY MAIL CAME
ON THE LOGAN

There has been much Speculation as
TO the reason why the mail from the
coast was not sent on the America
Maru but was dispatched on the slow
liner It would have arrived here over
two days earlier. Many explanations
have been offered for the action of the
postuftice officials by various people.
Some think that the officials were afraid
that the steamer might fall a prey to
Russian cruiser before she reached
this port and others attribute it to a
student desire of the authorities to save
money by dispatching the mail by a
government vessel. None of these eN-
plantations, however, hold water for II
is fact that eight sacks of mail, which
accumulated after the transport sailed,
did come on the Maru.
The local postofiice officials, however,
attribute the action to the ignorance of
the San Francisco officials of the speed
of the steamers. The various steamship
companies have entire charge of the
mails from the door of one postoffice to
the other so it is doubtful whether the
San Francisco clerks know much about
the steamers further than their time of
departure. SO when the Logan was
scheduled to sail an hour before the
Maru they inferred that she would ar
rive first and sent the mail. 1t so at
this end of the line. The arrival and
dispatch of mail is a far more impor-
tant thing in this corner of the world
where a hundred mails do not depart
every hour. The local Office has a book
in which the records of the various
steamers are Systematically recorded so
that the officials can tell which of the
two boats leaving at the same time will
arrive first. This is important as a very
few minutes of time may mean that
the mail will catch some overland mail
train on the coast.

TWO MAIL BOATS
FROM THE COAST

Two mail steamers will arrive from
the Coast today. The first one will be
the Alameda which should show up at
about o'clock. She will probably bring
the bulk of the mail. The other boat is
the Pacific Mail liner China which left
San Francisco two hours after the Ala
media. AS she is a slower boat she is
not looked for before the afternoon. She
will bring mail that left San Fran
cisco two hours later than the Alame-
da's. The China will bring Governor
Carter and elaborate preparations are
being made for his welcome.

OIL FOR THE BODY

You can't lose an atom
without feeling it. The body
5 like an engine, a watch,
machine; must be kept in
good order to run right.
That's the reason SCOTS
Emulsion is so successful in
all wasting diseases. 1t feeds,
nourishes and strengthens
when ordinary food won't.
Doctors say SCOTS Emul-
sion is the best nourishment
for those who are not as well
as they should be.
We use the whole oil in
SCOTS Emulsion because the
great reputation of cod liver
oil as a food and medicine
vas made by using it in this
way. Substitutes in the shape
of wines, cordials, extracts,
etc, should be carefully
avoided.

ties of a peaceful settlement. yet when
about midday the foreign Office issued

Japanese government had recalled it's
minister. Mr.. Kurino. Russia naturally
replied by the withdrawal of Baron de

RUSSIA AND JAPAN WITHDRAW
MINISTERS AND EXPECT WAR

what was herein contained was Rus
sia's last word.
Public opinion tonight is one of
overstrain and much champagne is be-
ing drunk the toast being "Vive la
Guerre."
Toxic. Feb. Monday Japan will
unquestionably seize Corea and, al
though Russia has previously intimat-
ed that it would not interfere in view
of that coutnry's present attitude de-
velopments are eagerly awaited.
The severance of diplomatic rea-
lions between Russia and Japan APP
pears to be only step toward war, al
though when the ministers of Russia
and Japan withdraw from their respec-
tive posts quick and decisive action is
expected.
When Minister of Foreign Affairs
Komura Saturday notified Baron de
Rosen, the Russian minister. of Japan's
determination to sever diplomatic re-
lations, he is reported to have declared
to him that Japan is tired of Russia 8
delays. evasions and insincerity, and
has decided to take independent action
for the conservation of Japan oriental
interests.
During the final negotiations Japan
repeated requests for an answer were
treated in a most unsatisfactory man
ner.
Japan waited until convinced that it
was useless to wait longer, and has
now ended the discussion.
