Japan Got Something.

If there is truth in the saying that
an acre of water is worth as much as
an acre Of land Japan has made not
bad bargain with Russia. She has OBJ
tanned fishing rights in the Sea Of
Kamschatka which are of immense
value to a country like Japan, which
understands fishing. And Japan does
understand fishing as no other country
does. She has the finest school Of fish
ing at Toxic there is in the world. In
it students are taught all there is about
fish, about catching them, preserving,
marketing and propagating them. The
Japanese lead the world in the art of
propagating oysters. They rave almost
monopoly of the goldfish market. What
they will be able to do with the addi-
tional rights they have secured thru
the treaty only the Japanese know at
present, but the world will soon know.
The development of the fishing in
dustry on the Pacific is something that
Americans know about. Since Alaska
began to be opened up much American
capital has gone into fishing. During
the war American firms were selling
immense orders to the Japanese them
selves, who were too busy in Manchuria
to attend to gathering their own food.
But with the return Of peace it will be
different. The Japanese will have
money to develop their new water ter
ritory, and doubtless they will do it
with their accustomed energy.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The Itasca County Exhibit.

10 the Editor OF The journal.
The low scoring received by the Itasca
county exhibit at the state, fair would in
dicate and absence of quality In the
products exhibited by Itasca county. This,
however, Is not the case. In quality Of
products Itasca county stood high, but
lost in the final score thru not having
the required number Of varieties.
Itasca county being comparatively new
in agriculture, the exhibit was made up
Of the commoner farm products and Of
such varieties only that have been found
to do best In northeastern Minnesota.
The variety of wheat, oats. barley, peas
and rye that have been grown success
fully each year were shown and COM
pared most favorably with that from the
middle and southern sections of the state.
In quality of potatoes and tame grasses,
especially clover and timothy, Itasca
county was not excelled. This may also
be said Of its small fruit exhibit, shown
in a preserved form, which barred 1t
from competition in the general fruit ex-
hibit, the regulation calling for fresh
fruit. The middle and southern counties
make up their fruit exhibit largely of
apples to which Itasca county, as yet,
lays no claim, but in strawberries, rasp-
| berries, blackberries, currants, gooseber-
ries and pluns, 1T produces most abund-
| antly and of the best quality.
This article Is in no way a protest
against the judging, but simply to correct
what might be misleading idea OF
Itasca county's agricultural possibilities
While many are prone to look upon north
eastern Minnesota as robbed Of its wealth
| thru the removal Of it's timber, there yet
remains much greater prosperity in Its
soil, only awaiting the pursuit of intel
ligent agriculture "A. j. Mcclure.

.s1.PAUL FACTORY BURNED
SILVER PLATING PLANT DE-
sTRoYED, CHEMICALS BURNING
FIERcELY-Loss s15o,OoO.

Fire, fed by a large stock of COM
bustlble chemicals, completely de-
stroyed the Anchor Silver Plating plant
on West Walter street, st. Paul, late
last night, causing loss of nearly
$15O,0O6.
The fire started in the elevator shaft,
where there was small pile of waste
saturated with oil. From there the
flames spread rapidly until they reached
the chemical room. Peter Lavalle,
night watchman, saw the flames, and
started upstairs to telephone for the de-
partment, but before he reached the
second floor he was overtaken by flames
and was forced to run back and out to
the street. He then turned in the alarm
and when the first apparatus arrived it
was seen that the building was doomed.
Early in the progress Of the fire chem.
icals exploded, throwing the fire to all
parts of the building, and the water
into the burning structure seemed to
have little effect. This morning moth
ing but the crumbling walls of the
building remained standing.
The company was organized about a
year ago, and employed 125 workmen.
AS soon as the officers of the company
learned Of the fire, they began to talk
over plans for rebuilding.

the battle for the company and was
the loser in the fight. -
The new ruling requires passengers
to call for transfers when paying the
fares. In the hands Of obliging and
diplomatic conductors it works fairly
well. The conductor in question, how
ever, did not offer the transfer, and
when the passenger made the request
at Lake street she was promptly and
curtly told that she could not have it.
Her formal demand was backed by the
statement that, she, would report the
conductor. The conductor g reply was

promptly formed a fine line of inter-
ference.

HIGH WATER ENOUGH
....' TO PLEASE ANYBODY

Some fine views of the flood on Cal
houn boulevard were secured yesterday
by photographer sent out by the park
commission. The rains had filled
the lake much above the high
water mark of 145 feet, established by
the city council. More or less damage
was being done to the banks. The earth
was being washed away from the trees
surrounding the lake and the action of
the water was threatening to undermine
some of them. 4.
'I hope that all the 'high water en-
thusiasts will patronize the boulevard
today and tomorroW,n said one Of the
parkmen today. "The conditions at
present is only another strong argument
in favor of high water. IF there is
anything in their theory, the minimum
stage Of 145 feet is too low, for the
lake can certainly hold much more wa
ter. What will happen to the improve
ments is presumably of little conse-
quence.''

WARDS

MRS. WARDS SUCCESSFUL
ScHOOL.-The vacation school established
by Mrs. Humphry Ward in connection
with tn Passmore Edwards settlement in
London Is reported to be amazingly pop
ular this year. Since the opening Of the
fourth season by the Marquis Of London
derry, in the early part Of August, over
1900 applications have, been received
from parents, as against a total enroll
ment Of 1000 scholars last year. The
school is described by Mrs. Ward as "a
place where children are taught how to
play and to that end many carloads of
sand have been taken into the grounds.
Competent instructors give outdoor les
sons In clay modelling, map-making in
sand, and other instructive forms of
"play." The expense Of each scholar is
estimated at something less than a dollar
and half a month.

Good Advice from DR.. Northrop.

President Northrop's remarks to the
new students upon the opening of the
university are good for old students,
too; in fact they might be proftably
read by people who have ceased to be
students. The president remarked
among other things upon the foolish
ness Of OVERRIDING your social engage
ments. While the folly Of making a
speciality Of society is most apparent
in the case Of students, is not the warn
ing good for other people, too9 Ism It
the rushing about in search of pleasure
one of the severe tasks of modern hfe9
The getting about evenings to theaters,
to receptions and to miscellaneous en-
tertainments, the dressing for them and
all the fuss that goes with them is a
severe strain upon the nerves Of the
business and the society woman.
Wouldn' It it be better to regulate your
society as you do your meals by what
you have the appetite for and the
strength to dispose of9
The president g comment upon foot
ball is also pertinent to the whole com
munity. There is no objection to q
football team, provided it does not in
terfere with the course of study, and
there is propriety in the whole stu
dent body roofing for the home team
but. why should football become the
sole topic Of interest in a university Of
: 5000 members, there being but about
fifty persons directly engaged in the
football business?

The Schoolteacher.

Is the public-school system a man
and woman-killing machinea School
teaching is looked upon, we all know,
as something Of "soft job.' It is
six hours a day, five days in the week,
nine months in the year. What could
be more genteel than that's The laborer
who goes to his shovel ten hours a
day, six days in the week and twelve
months in the year, and who is happy
if illness does not enforce upon him q
vacation, sees advantages. in the life
Of schoolteacher.
But there is another side. The SHOW
eler has no anxiety about the work.
He does his part and quits on time,
with not care about his work. The
teacher, on the other hand, is full Of
anxieties. She does not have merely
docile shovel to direct, but forty or
fifty molecules Of humanity going In
different directions at different rates
Of speed and with different degrees Of
tenacity in their course, must be made
by her mentality and character to
travel single path and be happy in
it. Would the shoveler like to have
his boss hand him twenty shovels and
expect him to dig with them all at
onceP 2 -
The fact is that the short hours five
days in the week Is fallacy as far
as the teacher is concerned. She no
longer has her Saturday. It is absorbed
in teachers meetings, special studies
| and special classes. It has become one
of the hardest days in the week. Nor
is it true that the teacher can do he1
work. In six hours. The labors laid
upon the teacher by the system take
about as much time out of the school
room as in it. Even in the summer va
cation 1t is adroitly borne in upon the
teacher that she should be making
some preparation for the coming yea1
in summer school of some kind.
The work Of the teacher never wa
so strenuous as it is today.

Higher Criticism and Revivals.

The London Daily Mail has lust
brought to conclusion an interesting
series Of letters upon the subject,
"Should Clergymen Criticise the
Bibleq'
Of course, definite or specific results
could not have been expected from
such a discussion. It's main value lay
in showing that such debate in a
daily newspaper could become the alb
sorbing topic for an extended period.
The Mail has had letters from the most
distinguished scholars in Great Britain,
! both in and out Of church, besides
thousands from more obscure individ-
uals who had opinions on one side or
the other.
The main point made by the writers
would seem to estop clergymen of the
Church Of England from becoming
higher critics. and that is that they
constantly teach that the Bible is the
rule Of faith and practice and that they
cannot logically ask their parishioners
to take as their guide thru life any
thing of whose truth they are not them.
s serves nrmly convinced. =.
Perhaps one fact which gave the
piquancy to the debate is that the
clergy Of the established church are
becoming higher critics to an alarm,
ing degree. The fact seems to be that
the people are deserting the established
church and the benefced clergy, left
very much to themselves, are developing
q spirit Of scholarly skepticism which
is not at all to the liking Of the. au
thorities.
On the other hand, there has beer
in the nonconformist churches a grea
revival of faith. The Welsh religion
uprising does not know anything abou
criticism. It is an outpouring of th
impulse Of the people toward a bette
personal life. It has worked wonder

The Transportation Situation.

One may take the government report
for September, the percentage figures
for corn, and the acreage, and by ap
plying one to the other, a crop of
2,700,000,000 bushels will be Indicated.
It is unlikely that this will be realized
in full, but entirely probable that it
will be closely appropriated. The
country produced last year, according
to official figures, 2,467 ,4s1 900 bushels
corn; in 1903, 2,244,177, 900; in 1902,
1928, ,648, 900, and in 1901, 1,522,520,0 900.
The year 1901 was a bad one, which
accounts for the lower total. The crop
was injured and would have run much
heavier had there been favorable
weather late in the season. Prior to
1901 there were six years in which
billion-bushel crops were turned
out, and as far back as 1889 the yield
was 2,112,s92,0OO. Hence, while the
country may fall off somewhat from
the present high indication, yield of
2,700,oO0,000 bushels this year is by
no means impossible. .. ..--

ing in themselves as indicating the size
of the king crop Of America, one Of
our greatest sources of wealth.
At present this interest is increased
by the growing acuteness Of the trans
portation situation. It is almost a GER
tainty, from existing conditions, that
the railroads are going to be taxed be-
yond capacity to handle the tonnage of
the country this fall. With corn
crop larger than ever, the problem of
keeping everything moving satisfac-
torily will be a hard one.
It is astonishing to note the hun
dreds Of new locomotives reported put
into use from time to time, and the
thousands of cars turned out for the
railroads by their own shops, and the
Independent equipment companies.
Some cars and locomotives, of course,

time, but always the production runs
well ahead of the discards, and the
country IS rolling stock goes up by big
figures every year. Yet in the fall
there is the urgent call for cars and
inability Of the roads to make the
number reach around. Just at present,
however, it is as much lack Of motive
power as shortage Of cars that is
noted in the northwest.
It is one Of the rules of the big
things Of commerce that scarcely any

Wall Street and the President.

A Minneapolis man who has just re-
turned from the east brings the infor
nation that Wall street likes President
Roosevelt better than it did.
It must be pleasure to the presi-
dent to know that he is not disliked
anywhere, but if he had to be hated in
any part Of the country the chances are
that the president would have allowed
Wall street the privilege before any
other part of the country.
Presidents who have been general
favorites in Wall street have ordinarily
found that the fact reduced their use
fulness in other parts of the country.
Wall street, which is not dull place,
has usually concealed it's affection fo1
president, not wishing to do him harm.
Following this rule Wall street should
not embarrass the president by dis.
play of affection right before folks.
