AGREED ON THE TIME.

St Petersburg, June 26.-Bofh Japan and Russia are now understood to have agreed on the time when their plenipotentiaries shall meet at Wash ington. It will be during the first ten days of August, but the exact date probably will be announced by Presi- dent Roosevelt. The question of precedence evidently is the main stumbling block to prompt settle ment of the number of personal nego- tiators. Both sides seem desir0us to make the other take the initial move. Russia seems to consider that it is Japan's duty to name her plenipoten- tiaries before Russia announces hers. While the exact number of the pleni- potentiaries has not been officially ar ranged, both powers seem to have tacitly agreed on three. The actual announcement of the names of the plenipotentiaries is expected within a few days.
 The official statement of the situa- ton is: "All is going on favorably."
 The question of possible armistice as stated last week remains in abey- ance for the moment, Japan, 1t is un- derstood. declining even to take the matter up until the issues involved in the Washington meeting are definitely settled.
 In the meantime there have. been heavy downpours in Manchuria and the rainy season may enforce q sus- pension of military operations before diplomacy can act.

to the rescue Of the Canning Co. by say
ing that the $40 price of last year is too
high for the well known condition Of the

came to the valley the price was 81.
Unsolicited he raised the price to So.
then to $3.50. then to SO, and finally to
$40. the latter price being more than was

Tho Arkansas Valley has Diff
erent but Better Conditions.

In speaking o! tho movement to secure
desirable class Of immigration to tho
Arkansas Valley tho Pueblo Ch:citain
says
81, ought TO bo borne In mind tha. tho
conditions as ,hoy now exist in. tho Arkan-
sas valley are quite different from those
obtained in most regions to which inmi-
grafton is invited. There arc no cheap"
lands in the Arkansas valley in Colorado.
Every foot OF land that can be irrigated
is valuable. and the now comers must
expect to pay more for smaller tract Of
land than they could secure in some Of
the northern or western states where IT.
igation is not praetieed. But the land is
worth all tho money that is asked for it.
when we consider the produetivencss
Of tho soil. tho certainty Of water supply
insuring tho regularity Of the crops. tho
salubrity OF the climate both in summer
and winter. the rearncss Of good markets
and other matters, the argument in favor
Of Colorado is one that cannot be resisted
by those that are familiar with all tho
circumstances. But because those cir
eumstanees differ from those that COM
monty prevail in other parts Of our eoun-
try is all the more reason why our busi-
ness leaders should make it a part Of
their duty to supply reliable and intelligi-
bic information regarding Colorado to
those that would like to know about these
things"
