nally asked for. .a.-,. '.

Satisfied With Trespass Settlements.

A number of trespass cases were tax.
where suit to collect for trespass re-
suited in getting less than the settle
ment offered. From this the committee
deduces that the auditor was acting in
the interests of the state in other cases
where he settled for stumpage value or
less, The auditor is found to have
acted for the interests Of the state, al
tho the legal penalties were not en-
forced. The committee in each Of tho
cases cited agrees with tho contention
of the auditor 8 office that the settle
ment made was the best possible.
As to the Buchanan trespass case
the report finds that the case was set
tied "after conference with the tim
Der board,' for $5,351.03, of which
1000 was paid. The committee over
looks the later settlement for $4,000
and its report leaves the impression thai
the attorney generals suit now brought
is for the balance Of ST ,351.05.
On Delicate Ground.
The subject of mineral leases i.
handled in gingerly fashion. The
committee mentions the suit brought by
the attorney general to set aside thu
Mabel Evans lease, but draws no con
illusions. 1t says "the legal fees have
been duly paid to the state for all leases
state in this regard.' 1t admits thai
two leases were partly assigned to L. G
Patterson while a clerk in the land of
fee, but says that the Mabel Evan
leases were all issued Gin complianc,
with law and that "there is no evi
dence before the committee to warran

unlawfully deprived of any of is iro1

ployees an assumption which no on

How Niagara Helps Trade,

A clever game which is worked at Nj
agara during the winter months by
shrewd merchants is described in an
article by Mr.. Broughton Brandenburg
on The Carnival Of Ice ut Niagara" in
Harper's Weekly. Shanties are built
on the ice about halfway to the shore
on the exact boundary line between the
United States and Canada and occu-
pied by traders. AS they have neither
rent, United States duty nor Canadian
license to pay, they are enabled to offer
their goods for sale at greatly reduced
prices. The officers Of neither country
disturb them, because they would first
be compelled to prove Jurisdiction. This
would be impossible, for by the time
the courts got around to it it would be
spring, and both the ice and the shan
ties would be gone.

A NUMBER OF VARIETIES IMPORTED
Agricultural Department Experts
arch the World For New Fruits

The agricultural department has

which can be raised in our soil and eli
mate and contribute to oar national
wealth, says William Il. Curtis. the
Chicago Record Herald's Washington
correspondent. Few countries have
such d large variety of soils ana cli-

tary Wilson Is OF the opinion that we
can produce almost everything that
we need to eat or Wear or use upon our
own farms and in our own forests and
water courses. His scientific agents
are educated first to know what We are
already raising and where we have
waste land to cultivate, and they are
instructed to search strange places for
economic vegetation that may be suit
able for the conditions which exist
here.
The cotton experts Of the department
have been Mt work for several years
securing new and de sirabie varict les
wherever they could be found, and the
result Is that improved strains are al
feady beginning to appear in several
sections of the south. Almost as much

JUDO LESSONS FOR MIDDIES
Japanese study of the Body to BE
Taught at Naval Academy

An arrangement has been made by
the naval authorities with Professor
Yamachita Of Japan to teach Judo to
the midshipmen ut the Naval academy
in Annapolis. and contract has been
signed by the professor for one year,
says Washington special dispatch to
the New York Times The art Of Judo
includes that Of jiu jitsu. The former
is more advanced study than the lat.
ter. jiu jitsu being in fact one of the
elements Of the higher study.
"A man who only knows jiu jitsu,"
said Professor Yamashita, may un.
willingly make cruel use of it and not
know how to restore his victim. Judo
teaches a higher study Of the body.
Every muscle and every ligament is
studied in the most minute way. and
by means OF that science you may put
your opponent out of business and
yet be able to restore him"

A FRIEND OF PEACE.
How KurOpntIkin Prevented War BE-

How kurOpntkfn Prevented War BE-

General kuropatkin as minister of
war opposed the present war between
Russia and Japan and exerted all of
his influence in favor of peace says A.
Maurice Low in the January March
Forum. This is the second time Ku-
ropatkin has advocated peace when
Russia clamored for war. The follow

accuracy of which l can vouch for and
which has never before been published
is interesting at this time:
In 1885 the Penjdeh incident-the at
tempt of Russia to encroach upon the
frontier Of Afghanistan, which brought
