one wonders why-anything indecent

any excuse for a gown so low-cut that
the wearer would be arrested for Gin

Why-because music has certain

his arm around lady and assume at

JAPAN WILL FOLLOW SUIT.
If Russia Violates Neutrality of China
So Will She.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Mr. Takahira,
the Japanese minister, had a long talk
with Mr.. Loomis, acting secretary Of
state today, about the Chinese neutral
ity and Russia's circular note to the
powers on the subject. So far as the
press dispatches show, there are no
alleged instances specified in the latest
Russian note Of violation by China of
neutrality that have not been men,
toned in previous notes on the subject,
and replied to by Japan. Whether
the Japanese government will see fit
further to reply probably will not be
determined.
The official text of the note has be-
come generally known. It can be stat
ed that the attitude of Japan regarding
China's neutrality remains unchanged.
The japanese government was quick to
respond to Secretary Hays note to the
powers urging the respecting Of the
neutrality and administrative entity
of China,'' and it is believed that
Japan will be opposed to the suspen-
sion of the agreement of the belliger-
ents to limit the zone of operations in
the effort to adhere to Secretary Hays
request. In the event, however, that
Russia determines to withdraw her
adherence to this principle, it will be
necessary for japan, as the other bel
igerent, to follow suit, and she will
probably do it quickly if Russia reaches
this decision.

HOLD-UP GAME BLOCKED.
Fulton Puts Spoke in Wheel of Kla
math irrigation Company.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE chief of
engineers, at the request of Senator
Fulton, today decided to grant no
authority to the Klamath irrigation
company to divert water from klamath
lake for irrigation purposes. This
company, with purely speculative in
tent, has begun the construction of an
irrigation canal lying within the pro-
posed government irrigation project, its
purpose being to sell out to the govern
ment at a large profit.
Fortunately for the government, it
proposes utilizing the water OF navi-
gable stream, and this cannot be done
except by authority of congress. The
company had applied for permission
from the War department, contending
that Klamath lake and Link river are
not navigable. Senator Fulton showed
that both bodies are navigable and
navigated.
While the government will probably
recompense the klamath irrigation
company for the work which it may ac-
quire, it will only pay fair price. 1t
will not be held up and robbed.

Rebuild BROOKLYN Bridge,

New York, Jan. 16.-Fearful lest the
strain to which the Brooklyn bridge is
being subjected will weaken it to serv-
ice to the extent that a great catastrophe
might be possible, engineers of the De-
partment of Bridges are reported to
have determined that the structure
must be almost completely rebuilt.
To do this it will require at least two
years, and meanwhile traffic between
New York and Brooklyn will have to
be diverted to the Williamsburg bridge,
the new Manhattan bridge and to the
Brooklyn subway tunnel now in course
of construction.

IRRIGATION IN WASHINGTON
Government will Garry Out Palouse
Project if o. r. &. N. Helps.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Wash
ington delegation had conference this
morning with officials of the reclama-
tion service, during which T. A. Noble,
in charge of examinations in Washing
ton, explained the progress of work in
that state. In brief, he showed that
government irrigation is not practicable
on the Okanogan river, and intimated
that the whole Okanogan project would
be abandoned. Because of numerous
vested interests in the Yakima valley,
the government has not yet found an
attractive project in that vicinity.
The Big Bend project, which contem-
plates the reclamation of 1,O00,0 900
acres or more at a cost of $50, 900, 900,
is too gigantic to be considered serious
ly at this time, but there is a strong
probability that the government will
next year begin work on the Palouse
project, which contemplates the recla-
nation of $4,000 acres, mostly in
Franklin county, at cost of SIS per
acre. This project has been found en-
tirely feasible. All preliminary sur
veys are completed, and it only waits
for the O. R. & N. Co. to consent to
remove its tracks from Washtucna
coulee, which it is proposed to convert
into storage reservoir. This consent
is expected to be given, negotiations to
that end being now under way.

PARLIAMENT TO BE DISSOLVED
British Government May Call Election
About End of March.

London, Jan. 16.- King Edward, at
today's meeting of the Privy council,
signed proclamation convening parli-
ament for February IA. The session
will be opened by the king personally,
with full state ceremonies. The unus-
ual lateness of the date of the opening
is interpreted to mean that the govern
ment does not propose to press any re-
distribution bill, but to give the aliens
bill, which Premier Balfour had def
nitely promised, the first place in its
Legislative program.
Recent speeches of ministers confirm
the belief in an early dissolution of
Parliament, and it seems likely that
unless previously defeated, possibly
through the intentional absentation of
the Chamberlainites, the government
will find pretext for voluntarily dissolv-
ing parliament towards the end of
March and hand over to the opposition
the seemingly thankless task of formu-
iating the budget.

Russian Officer Says Booty of Port

from Port Arthur January 8, in COM
menting today on General Nogi's re-
port of January 12, giving details of
the Russian property which had been
transferred to the japanese after the
surrender Of the fortress, said that the
2,266,S00 rounds Of rifle ammunition
mentioned as among the booty, were
unloaded shells, relics of the Chinese
occupation of Port Arthur and not
fitted for use in Russian rifles. The
$3.50 large shells mentioned by Gen
eral Nogi, the midshipman said, were
also Chinese and were of no use to the
Russian artillery. Midshipman Kliso-
rich further says that the locks of the
IS, ,252 rifles turned over to the Japan
ese were broken before the fortress

Livestock Association Has Civil
War and Cattlemen Secede.
THEY FORM A RIVAL ASSOCIATION
Admission or Packers and Railroads
the lssue-Sheepgrowers Stay
With Old Association.

Denver, Jam. 16.-The National
Livestock association was rent in twain
today by the adoption of new consti-
tuition which admitted the packers to
membership and provided an open
door through which the railroads of the
country might at any time become fact
ors in the control of the organization.
The cattlemen, horse and swine grow
ers, together with representatives Of
some of the affiliated industries, re-
fused to agree to the new constitution,
withdrew when they considered its
adoption probable, and this afternoon
formed new organization under the
name of the American Stockgrowers'
association, whose aim it will be te
WELD a dominating influence in the in
terest of the cattlegrower.
Roughly speaking, the sheepgrowers,
commission men and stockyards inter.
ests remained with the Nationa Live.
stock association, and the actual grow.
ers of all other animals for the market
have gone with the new association.
The cattlemen have from the first
strongly opposed the admission into
: their organization of the packers and
especially of the railroads. They main.
tanned that these two influences would
ultimately dominate the cattlegrowins
industry Of the country to the detri
ment of the individual grower, ano
they refused to remain in an organiza
tion. which included their representa-
tives among the members of its con
trolling body.

A report prepared by the American
Consul General at Yokohama gives
some particulars as to agriculture in
Japan. He states that only 14,995,272
acres, or 1871 per cent, of the total area
Of the country, exclusive of FormOsa,
are in arabic cultivation. About 55
per cent Of the agricultural families
cultivate less than two acres each; 80
per cent, two acres to less than three
and three-fourth acres, and 15 per cent,
three and three-fourths acres to more.
1t Is not clear whether the small hold
ers have grass land in addition to their
arabic land. As to how families can
be supported on such minute farms, it
is pointed out that the japanese stand
ard Of living Is comparatively low;
that the small farmer usually earns
wages apart from his land, or engages
in some such industry as silk-produc-
ing or spinning; that he cultvates and
manures his land very thoroughly; and
that he often raises two or more crops
in season on the same land. In the
warmer parts Of Japan. it is stated,
barley, indigo, beans and rape are
grown in succession on one piece Of
land in twelve months.

Food for the Stock.


Those who have tested the use of
cooked and uncooked foods for stock,
more particularly for swine, agree that
the uncooked foods are by far the most
digestible. This opinion would delight
the vegetarians who urge uncooked
fruits and vegetables as being more
wholesome. Yet there are two sides to
the story as usual. There seems to be
no denying the value of the uncooked
food, with animals at any rate. but we
all know that quantity Of raw fruits
and vegetables eaten by humans during
the summer is apt to create disturb
ance of the digestive organs. Not al
ways does 1t cause a looseness Of the
bowels, but acidity of the stomach,
which is very painful. Is it not fair to
assume that If uncooked food has this
effect on the human stomach that it
must have some bad effect on the stom-
ach of the farm animal.
This may be little far-fetched, but
experience has taught the writer that,
without exception, one warm meal a
day during the winter is beneficial to
the animals. Even our horses have a
warm bran mash, and it has been we'll
cooked, too. The poultry have the
warm cooked mash and the hot corn
at night every other day, and thrive
on 1t. This being our experience, our
argument is that animals should have
cooked food occasionally, but that
most Of their meals should consist of
food not cooked.

Japan Warns Her Not to Sell War.
ships to Russia.
Paris, Jan. 12.-Japan has informed
Chile that further sale of vessels te
Russia will be followed by summary
punitive measures. This information
comes directly from the foreign Office,
but has not yet been published il
Paris.
According to an official of the office
Japan is greatly irritated over the mat.
ter, and has even gone so far as to hin,
broadly that the Chilean coast would
make fine target for japanese wal
ships.
At the same time similar protest
was made to the Argentine Republic
in spite of the fact that such threat
might be considered an offense against
the Monroe doctrine. The source O.
this information leaves no doubt as tt
its correctness.
DIR. Motono, the Japanese minister
here, says he has no knowledge of any
such communication on the part of hi
government. At the same time h.
took occasion to criticize the two re
publics. A member of the Japanese
legation said that, if the United State,
should take no measures to prevent an,
further action of this sort, it would no
be fair to invoke the Monroe doctrin,
against Japan.
Speaking unoficially, members o
government circles say this inciden
shows that Japan has grown SO self
complacent over her victories that sh
can run the risk of losing the good viii
of even the United States.
