The East at the Partlngg.of the Ways:
Which VIII Win, the Did civilization or
the NeW?-.A reading Of The Russo y APP
anese Conflict, by K. 4 Asakawa, Pho,
lecturer on the civilization and history of
East Asia at Dartmouth college, Will not
make friends for Russia in the present
war: Pr Asakawa is not partial to jap
an. but he gives the text Of the correspon-
dence between Russia and Japan preced-
Ing the war, and that is enough to make
friends Tor Japan and enemies for Russia.
The Whole correspondence shows that
the island empires spirit was concilia-
tory. The demands first made, in the
l1ght OF Japan's treatment at the hands of
Russia following the war between China
and Japan, were moderate and apparently
Just; yet when Russia declined to accede
10 them Japan was willing to compromise
and offered to make concessions. But
for every concession she was willing to
make, Russia was ready with a demand
for more, until If Russia had kept on, like
the camel that wanted to warm its nose,
it would have left no room for Japan at
all. There was nothing, therefore, left
Japan to do but to put the camel out and
do it quickly.
This is the only conclusion one can fair
ly draw from reading the correspondence
contained in the book at hand; not from
the authors argument, but from the bare
Official documents Inc authOr says the
book lis an attempt to- present in iveri-
fable form some of the issues and the his
torical causes Of the war now waged be-
tween Russia and Japan. It is what he
has attempted to make It, and therefore,
a good starting point for a study of the
whole situation in the east He puts the
issue in the following way, which will do
more than any amount iof explanation to
show the tone Of the authors treatment
Of his subject: IN ~
What is the goal Of the warfare OF
these two civilizations ?"7sIt Is, it may be
said, the immensely rich and yet undeVel-
oped North China, of which Manchur1a
lis a part, and to which Korea is an appen-
dix. Over this territory, the interests OF
| Russia and Japan have come to q sharr
clash, those Of the former demanding the
I subjection and closure of this great por-
ton of the earth's surface, and those OF
the latter imperatively calling for It's In
dependence and progress"

broad -mindedness and that high minded
ness that has characterized the Japanese

Humorous Commentaries on Well
Known Quotatlons.-Just because an old
saw is old and has come to be accepted
as true one need not think he knows all
about it. 1t is quite remarkable, now that
our attention has been called to it, to
find that many an old. saw has teeth we
never saw. You will discover the same
thing if you NEEDLE with Wit and Humor
Of Wel-known Quotations, edited. by
Marshall Brown. Mr.. Brown has gathered
together a long list Of well-known quo
tations, beginning with "a bird In the
hand Is worth two in the BUSH" and as
arranged with these comments, chiefly
from newspaper paragra pliers. For ex-
ample, here is in part what is done with
the above saying: d

of friends last evening. AS pleasant
diversion from card playing, the guesta
were required to try their skill in del

requested to describe the time and place
of their marriage, the color, material
and style of the brides dress, and her
appearance in. the eyes of the groom
The ladies were asked totell where they
first met their husbands and their first
impressions of them. The ladies had
! decidedly the easiest task TO perform,
but all of the gentlemen displayed un-
usual skill at describing the gowns
their brides wore. in the general des-
cripfions of the weddings and the ap-
pearance of their brides.
After all had finished, the papers were
read aloud, and then given to three
young ladies TO pass Judgment as to
who were entitled to the prizes. The
lady's prize was awarded TO Mrs. C. E..
Reese, and the gentleman's prize was
given to G. e. Wright. This decieion.
however, was the result of a draw IA
the judges were unable to decide as be-
! tween Mr.. Spongberg and Mr.. Wright.

successful short course that has been
conducted during the history of this
department. The first week the
County Fruit Inspectors were in at
tendance. The state Horticultural
Law requires them to be present at
the College for instruction at least
four days each year. Some of the In
spectors, realizing the Importance of
the work, remained during the second
week. Some who did not have time
to remain through the course sent
representatives to take their places.
At the State Horticultural Society,
which met at Wenatchee, a resolution
was adopted asking the Legislature to
change the part of the law which re-
quires the Inspectors Institute to be
held at the College. After the Inspec-
tors had been at the College a few
days and saw the many advantages
in having the institute conducted in
connection with the College they
unanimously adopted another resolu-
tion, asking that that part of the law
remain the same.
There was a total attendance of
seventy representing twenty-one coun-
ties. This is the largest attendance
the short course has ever Witnessed
The attendants expressed themselves
as being highly pleased with the lee
lures, practical work, and treatment
in general, and said that if they could
not attend next year they hoped to
send others in their places. Thus it is
seen that the prospects for a success
full short course next year in Horti-
culture are good.

No question is of such vital impor-
tance to the prosperity of the Pacific
Northwest as that of good roads, both
from a social and financial standpoint.
From a social standpoint it allows the
neighbors in the various communities
to visit back and forth in comfort
during the winter months, and also
gives them a prompt delivery of mail
by the rural carriers.
From q financial standpoint there is
no investment that will return as big
profit to the people in general as that
of good roads. 1t allows the farmer
to haul his products to market with
comfort during the winter months at
an expense of over 200 per cent less
than it costs him to haul products to
market over the present county roads.
1t increases the valuation of prop
erty and encourages the many emf
grants from the east and middle west
to settle in localities where good roads
are made.
No man in the Pacific Northwest has
done more toward encouraging the
building of good roads than John S.
Beall, general manager of Beall &
Co. of Portland, Ore, and who has
properly been dubbed the Moses of
Good Roads," Beall & Co. are the pio-
neers in the manufacture of road
building machinery in the Northwest
they handle full line of machinery
OF every description for building good
roads and streets, as well as railroads
and irrigation bitches, that is made by
the Western Wheeled Scraper Com
pany of Aurora, ILL.,, who are the man
ufacturers of the largest, most modern
and best-known line of this class of
goods in the world, and it is a recog
hlzed fact among all of the old-time
railroad contractors that the Western
goods are the cheapest and most eco
nomical to buy at any price, and
Beall & Co. are to be congratulated
on having such goods.
For the last six years Mr. Beall has
ueYoted his entire time to encouraging
Ihe building of good roads, and has ex-
pended freely large amount of money
encouraging the holding of good roads
conventions, besides having furnished
the road experts of the United States
soYernment several very expensive
rock-crushing plants free of charge for
pulld1ng educational roads in various
paIts of the Northwest this last year.
II any concern deserves the support

To Encourage Tree Growing.

A bill now before the Colorado leg
islature provides that any land owner
may give the assessor of his county
notice that he has set apart a certain
amount of land for a timber reserve
says the Denver Field and Farm. This
he must plant in forest trees of certain
specified kinds This land may not
be used for pasture or other purposes
until the trees have reached the size
of four inches in circumference, other
wise the land owner forfeits any bene-
fits under the act. This benefit con-
sists in that the land shall not be
taxed for twenty years at greater
valuation than is put upon surround
ing agricultural land, and the owner
may command the advice of the state
forester or that of the teachers at the
agricultural college in promoting the
growth of the timber. In some re-
spects the bill is built on the old law
in Colorado by which orchards were
freed from taxation for limited num-
ber of years. That law, however,
proved unconstitutional, but the pres
ent bill has swerved around the OBJ
jectionable points in such way that it
ought to hold water in any court.
