1 In buying fertilizers it does not
make any particular difference weth-
Ter Brown, Clark or Jones made the
FERTILIZER. SO far as its value for grow

derive their fertilizer elements from
the same sources, and if the fertilizer
manufacturer places his name and the

actual food as the analysis calls for;

County to Build Index Road.

Everett, Sept. ia. &. Goerig
has thrown up his contract with the
county commissioners, made a short
time ago for building road from In

price was about $4,000. Goerig holds
that the road cannot be constructs
for much less than $4,000. After
investigating the matter the commits
sioners have made some changes, both
in the plans and in the route, and will
continue the road themselves. They
figure that now the expense will not

RUSSIA OBJECTS TO
THIBETHN TREATY.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 21.--With the
arrival here of the full text of the Brit
ish treaty with Thibet the irritation of
the Russian press at its sweeping char
acter is more pronounced. The Russ,
which is now considered to especially
reflect the views of the foreign Office,
bitterly complains that Great Britain
has gone beyond her promises concern
ing the expedition by acquiring vir-
tual protectorate over Thibet, whereas
she pledged herself to merely regulate
trade relations between Idnia and Thi-
bet.
Instead, the paper declares. Great
Britain has imposed upon Thibet oner-
oous terms which give her a monopoly,
forbidding Thibet without Great Brit.
aims consent to enter into relations
with the outside world. The Russ
foresees that the occupation of the
Chumbi valley by the British will be
prolonged even after the payment of
the indemnity, and expresses surprise
at China playing into the hands Of
Great Britain in deposing the Dalai
Lama and appointing in his stead a
protege of Great Britain. In conclu-
sion the Russ says Significantly:
"The proclamation Of the British
protectorate must be regarded as an
accomplished fact, but whether it will
be real and lasting must depend on fu-
teure events in Central Asia"
Russia maintains that Great Britain
has broken faith in the matter of the
Thibetan treaty, and Ambassador
Benckendorff has been instructed to
lodge general protest at the British
foreign office.

bonds within the legal figure. The
city attorney advises the council that
the comptroller and chairman had no
legal right to make such promises and
that they are not binding.

CLASH IN PANAMA
BETWEEN BAR
RETT AND WALKER.
Admiral Walker Desires Not TO
Waste Time Settling Questions
by Diplomacy---Barre Said to
Be Coming Home to Lay Matter
Before President.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The Times
prints the following:
"There have arisen serious misun'
derstandings between John Barrett,
American minister at Panama, and
the isthmian commission. Admiral
Walker, head of the Isthmian Canal
Commission, prefers to deal with ques-
tions which have arisen between this
government and Panama in his own
way, desiring not to waste time with
diplomacy.
minister John Barrett holds that
there are questions bearing on rela'
tions between the canal zone govern.
ment and the government of the Re-
public of Panama that should be sub
mitted to diplomatic adjustment.
"The pinch has come in determin-
ing whose authority shall be upper
most in settling a number Of questions
which might as readily come under
Governor Davis jurisdiction as under
that of Minister Barrett. So serious
has become the differences between
the Panama officials that Minister
John Barrett has decided to come to
Washington personally to present his
case to the president.
The story cannot be confirmed, but
probly grows out of the fact that Min
lister Barrett is soon to return home on
leave of absence, which the president
promised he should have this fall.

RESTORING LANDS
NEW POLICY REGARDING WITH.
.DRAWAL.S.
Large Tracts in the State of Wash.
ington Soon to BE Opened for
Entry---Tracts Will Be Adyer.
tised for Ninety Days Prior to
Opening.

Washington, Sept. ga policy
which will result in the restoration of
thousands of acres of land to the pub.
lie domain is announced by the inter.
ior department. All lands heretofore
withdrawn from entry for any purpose
will be restored, and after adertise.
ment ninety days Will be subject to en-
try under the federal land laws.
The object of the secretary of the
interior in requiring ninety days ad.
vertising is to prevent spectators from
obtaining possession of the land. The
new policy will affect large area
withdrawn for foretsry and irringation
purposes. The laud reserved for irri.
cation projects will be restored where
the projects have been abandoned.
A beginning was made yesterday by
ordering restored to entry several tracts
in Whatcom and Skagit counties which
were withdrawn in 1902 for the pur-
pose of charging the Washington for
est reserve. A part of the lands in
question are in private ownership and
the rest is agricultural or grazing
lands. Entry will not be allowed for
ninety days, during which time de-
scriptions will be advertised in the
newspapers. The Withdrawals ada
cent to the Washington forest reserve
have been the subject of bitter con-
troversy.

ALASKA-SIBERIA ROAD.
Chief Promoter Tells Geographical
Congress About 1t.


st. Louis, Sept. 22.-The most i'm
portant feature presented to the mem
bers of the International Geographical
congress, which convened Wednesday
at the exposition, was the proposed
trans Alaska Siberian railroad, which
is of a wider scope than any undertak-
ing of its kind in the history of engi-
neering. M. Delobel, member of the
Geographical Society of Paris, and the
protector of the railway, reviewed the
history of the undertaking.
After conference with President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hitchcock on
October IL, relative to securing the
naturalization of Boring strait, M. De-
lobel will sail for France.
The appreciation of the car of Rus
STA, President Roosevelt and several
European sovereigns relative to the
trans Alaskan-Siberian railroad has
been secured, and the Trans Alaskan
Siberian Syndicate, of which M. Delo-
bel is president, considers that when
the arrangements with Russia have
been made the final preliminary step
will hnave been taken.

SEATTLE FOR TERMINUS.
J. j. Hill Hopes St. Paul Road Will
Choose That City.


New York, Sept. 22-James j. Hill,
it is believed here, is anxious to make
Seattle the dominant Pacific coast city
and to accomplish this, it is said on
the highest authority, he will do all
in his power to influence the st. Paul
railroad to make Seattle the terminus
of its proposed extension to the Coast.
While it is thought the extension would
affect the traffic of Mr.. Hills roads,
the interview which he gave out yes
terday is construed by railroad men
here to mean that Mr.. Hills sole de-
sire is to have the st. Paul road make
Seattle the road terminus of its new
line, regardless of the competition
which would result. Mr.. Hill said:
eff the st. Paul is about to build to
the coast should be very glad to see
them make their terminus at Seattle.
People would naturally jump at the
conclusion that should the st. Paul
build to that city the increased compe-
tition would work injury to our lines,
but this is a very narrow view. The
greater the number of lines entering at
Seattle the more rapid will be that
city's growth Should the st. Paul
add line to the number now running
to Puget Sound it will make Seattle a
dominant force in the trade of the Pa
cific coast, as against San Francisco,
which has only two lines"
