Good Morning and Good-By.
Sweet, familiar meadows,
Beneath q tranquil sky.
There's a whisper in your shadows
Of "gOod-morning" and ''good-by."
Bright stream, seaward flowing,
With sweetest song and sigh,
You murmur still to vale and hill:
Woodworking, and good-by"
There's a dream of hearts that sever
A thought of dreams that die;
Forever and forever,
"Goodmorning, and good-by"

French Response to Japan's Protest
Received With Pleasure.
TOXIC, April 23-The announcement
that. in response to Japan's represen-
tations. France has promised the ex-
pulsion of the Russian second Pacific
squadron from Kamranh Bay and af-
firmed ner determination to maintain
neutrality, is received here with pleas
ure and has relieved the tension Of pop
ular feeling, although it is believed
that If Rojestvensky entered Kamranh
Bay for the purpose of finally prepar-
ing for dash north, the purpose was
accomplished before he was ordered to
leave.
The Foreign Office, in q statement
issued to-day, says:
The French Government, upon re-
ceipt OF the report that the BALTIC
squadron had arrived at Kamranh Bay,
instructed the Governor General of
Indo- Chino to strictly enforce the rules
of French neutrality. subsequently the
Japanese Government lodged a protest
with France and the French Govern
ment issued new special instructions to
the Governor General for transmittal
to the Russians, ordering them to leave
French territorial waters as soon as
possible. The Governor General tele-
graphed, replying that he had taken
the necessary measures according to
instructions by the French Govern
ment. and simultaneously addressed
the Russian Government, asking that
the admiral be instructed to leave ter-
ritorial waters. The Russian Govern
ment replied that 1t had already sent
such instructions. The French gave as
surances that they had taken, and
would take in the future, necessary
measures to see that neutrality is rig
orousIy respected"

COASTERS FEAR
The LOG RATS
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN PEDRO, April 2s-Owners Of
coastwise lumber vessels, both sail
and steam, are viewing with much
alarm the growth of the log rafting
business on this coast. They are be-
ginning to fear that this method of
transportation of lumber will so serf-
ously cripple rates that vessels now in
the coast service cannot continue to
operate, If, in fact, 1t does not COM
pletely drive the smaller sailing
schooners out of the lumber trade.
Several log RATS will be brought
from the Columbia river to San Fran
cisco during the summer by the Ham
mond Lumber Company. The first OF
them is nearing completion, and in the
early part Of June will be towed down
by the steamer Francis III. Leggett.
The raft will be about 700 feet In
length and will draw twenty five feet
of water. 1t will contain the enormous
amount of 100000 feet Of lumber,

AFRICAN HOSPITALITY.
Considered the Duty of Every Citizen
to Entertain Strangers With
out Compensation.

Hospitality may be considered as
one of the characteristics of not only
the Veis, but of the whole African race.
1t is considered the duty of every citi-
zen to entertain strangers without the
smallest compensation, writes the au'
thor of "Africa's Appeal to Christen.
dom," in Century. Places of rest stand
always open, and when these are found
occupied by strangers, man goes and
tells his wife, who will send her serv.
ants with water for the strangers to
wash their feet; for, as they wear no
shoes, they naturally need such &C.
commodation. Afterward rooms and
cloth wrappers are given them, food is
brought from all quarters, or they are
invited to eat with the people. They
continue to be so provided for, even
if they stay months. Their garments
are also washed and returned to them.
On leaving, they generally make .
small gift to the wife of the host,
though not more than two or thres
cola nuts or two or three English gen
MES.

MILK RIVER VALLEY.
The interior Department is Making
Preparations for 1rrigationg
This Famous Valley.

Montana is coming in for a big
share of the general prosperity of the
country, and it will only be few
short years when she will rank with
any of the Northwestern states in
agricultural greatness. The recent
act of the interior department of
the United States in setting aside
$1,OOO,OOO toward reclaiming three or
four hundred thousand acres in the
Milk River valley is but beginning
of a much vaster development of this
section as the needs grow apace. AL
ready the agricultural worth Of this
to-be-famous valley has been ade-
quately demonstrated in the results
which have followed the irrigation
works already established. It has
been successfully proven that all
kinds of agricultural products grow
in great abundance wherever irriga-
ton is used. The soil is naturally
rich and needs only moisture to make
it yield prolifcally. The Great North
ern Railway furnishes adequate
transportation facilities, it's main line
practically cutting the valley in two.
The fact that the government has de-
cided to begin immediate operations
will prove great incentive to the
people of that section who have al
ways believed in the future of their
country and will open to settlement
a vast area of rich land to the home
seeker and investor.

Extensive Irrigation Projects will
Soon be Carried out in Western
North Dakota.

A new irrigation project which
the Buford-Trenton Reclamation prof.
Get. The United States government
has set aside $55O,OOO for this work
and the active operations will begin
inside of sixty days. When this work
is completed some $4,000 acres OF
now arid land will be reclaimed and
the Western part of North Dakota
will be as attractive as the great
valley of the Red River and the pro-
ductive lands of the Mouse River
Loup. 1t is asserted that the pro-
posed dam and reservoir will hold
between 10000 and 25,O00-acre feet
of water, and the proposed canals
will run north and south of the line
of the Great Northern Railway to a
point about three miles east of Tren-
ton, North Dakota, from near Blu
ford, North Dakota, on the extreme
western border of North Dakota. This
is but the beginning of the extensive
irrigation projects which have been
planned by the government and in
dividuals in Western Dakota and
Northeastern Montana, which, to-
gethe> with the Milk River Irrigation
project, will reclaim thousands of
acres for settlement for agricultural
purposes which have lain barren for
years, and offer an opportunity for
the homeless of the East to secure
homes of their own. The fact that
good agricultural government land is
Eecoming scarcer and scarcer makes
these irrigation projects of great in
terest to the homeseeker and in

Philippine Population.

The total population of the archi-
pelago as returned from 342 indie
pendent islands is 7,635,426. OF this
number almost seven million are
more or less civilized. The wild
tlioes form about 3 per cent of the
entire population. The civilized
tribes are practically all adherents
of the Catholic church. The Moros
are Mohammedans, and the other
wild peoples have no recognized re-
ligious beliefs.
The total population, according to
the most reliable authorities, is a
little more than four times as great
as it was 100 years ago. During the
same period that of the United
States multiplied almost fifteen
times. The excess of birth rate over
death rate in the Philippines has
been large, in spite of sudden and
great losses as result of epidemics
of various diseases.

as an accurate representation of the bat

of course recall, took place getween the
American and British fleets during the

the United States. And if any fleet on
