Chinese GOVERNMENT
DEMURS TO TREATY

Washington, Sept. 27.-The Post
says:
s'The Chinese governments, a week
or more ago made formal protest to
the Russian and Japanese governments
concerning two of the conditions SET
forth in the treaty of peace signed at
Portsmouth. China objects to two
things.
First, the length of time allowed
for the evacuation Of Manchuria, and,
second. the provisions made for an
armed guard for the railroad lines
owned by Russia and Japan in Man
churia.
"China believes that aine months ID
entirely sufficient time within which
Japan and Russia shall evacuate Man
churia instead Of twelve months, az
provided for in the peace treaty.
"The provision made for guarding
the railroad, the Chinese contend, con-
templates an armed force Of probably
10, 900 men in Chinese territory. The
Chinese government regards the main
tenance Of guard an M nchuria Of
such size as q menace, and it does not
propose to agree to such q plan.''

Extension OF Lines.
Tacoma, Sept. 26-Third Vice Pres
ident G. NJ. Levy. Of the Northern Pa
cilic, has returned from st. Paul and
announces that branch road will b
built to Grangeville, Which has the
distinction OF being the largest town IN
the United States without q railroad,
by way Of the Cnldesac extension.
The contracts for the construction Of
the road will be let, Mr.. Levy says, BY
the first Of November, and q great deal
Of the preliminary work viii be done
this fall and winter. With the opening
Of spring actual construction work will
be pushed with all expedition. The
road will tap the rich Nez Perce coun-
try in Idaho, traversing in reaching
Grangeville one Of the richest AMI most
prosperous agricultural regions Of the
Northwest. For many years the people
Of Grangeville have been trying TO gel
a railroad outlet, and more than year
ago the commercial interests Of the
section got together and subscrib bed
81 900, 900 for the construction OF an
electric line. This project will be
abandoned now that the Northern Pa
oific is intending to build into the re-
gion.
Mr.. Levy states that the South Ia.
coma car shops will be. enlarged 90
that ten freight cars can be turned out
daily. He says that almost for the
first time in the history Of the road
there are COED crops at both ends Of
the line, which will mean rushine
business for the company during all Of
the fall and coming winter.
