MONTANA BOUNTY LAWS.
New Schedule of Prices on Scalps of
Wild Animals

Under the provisions of substitute
for house bill No. Al, introduced by
the committee on livestock and public
ranges, a new bounty law is now eff
fective in Montana in which several
changes are made in the schedule OF
prices paid for the scalps of certain
animals and in the manner of OBJ
tanning certificates for their slaugh-
ter, says the Helena Independent.
The old law made the bounty on
grown wolves So, whereas the new
law makes it $40. For each coyote.
wolf pup and coyote pup the bounty
remains at $3 while the price for a
mountain lion scalp is raised from 81
to $40. The new law offers no bounty
for the scalp of bear, which was
worth 81 under the old law.
1t is the duty of the judge of the
district court to appoint three repre-
sentative stockgrowers, whose duty
it shall be to appoint not to exceed
10 bounty inspectors for the county.
and these inspectors are to receive
and inspect all skins or pelts present
ed for bounty within their respective
localities. The inspector is to receive
10 cents for each skin examined, the
amount to be paid by the owner OF
the skin.

[ General Bilderling, who commands
the rear guard, and the thousands
who were fighting off the Japanese
| assaults almost at the walls of the
city, west and north of Mukden, was
desperate. Even from the east, Gem
eral KurOki pushed through until Flu
pass, less than eight miles east, where
the Hun bends sharply to the north
ward, was under the Japanese guns.
The opening in the net was then
only IL miles wide. and nothing but a
miracle, in the opinion of many ex-
perts, could then have saved the sit
uation.
To make matters worse, General
Nogi's left, west of the railroad, and
General Kamamura's army, on the
east, were reported by forced march
ing northward to be ready to throw
themselves across the Russian line
of retreat.
At last all classes seemed to have
Joined in the common grief. All hope
of Kuropatkin waiting for an oppor-
tune moment to strike and convert
defeat into victory has been abandon
ed even by the military critics, and
Gle the last and worst reverse to the
Russian arms.
The only consolation they find is
that the Russian troops have been
conquered by a wonderful foe, declar-
ing there is something uncannN about
the desperate expedient which the
japanese successfully employed at
Diushantun when, during the storm.
the Japanese lines actually faced
about, apparently firing into their
own reserves, deceiving the Russians
and backing into the Russian wire
entanglements before the ruse was
discovered. History, military men
say, does not parallel such desperate
fanatical valor. The papers at the
same time are filled with recrimina-
tion.
Russian strategy is blamed for not
including in the theater of operations
the territory west of the Sinmintin
road, which Field Marshal Oyama
used to accomplish his bold turning
movement, and criticism is heaped
upon Kuropatkin.
The Russ, however, while admit
ting Kuropatkin's failure as a strate-
gist, insists that the responsibility
should not be shouldered by him
alone.
The real cause of the Russian de-
feat, the paper boldly declares. is
"the bureaucracy which is incapable
of efficient administration and the
vicious system which kills all initia-
tive in the men out of whom soldiers
are made and keeps them in ignor-
ance, while the system of our ad-
versary creates good and intelligent
soldiers"

WALLA WALLA EXHIBIT.
County Court VIII Appropriate Am
pie Funds.

Walla Walla county will make q
creditable exhibit at the Lewis anC
Clark exposition but the manner OF
selecting a committee to handle the
funds and arrange for the exhibit
will be materially different from the
plan proposed in a petition presented
to the commissioners by the Walla
WaAa Commercial club.
The commissioners took up the
matter of an appropriation this morn
ing, but the various members were di-
vided in opinion as to the manner in
which the funds should be handled.
As compromise each OF the COM
missioners will name is representa-
tive citizens and taxpayers from each
of the commissioners district, these
45 men to meet at the Walla Walla
court house March is, to select a
committee of who will have entire
charge of collecting an exhibit and
in handling the funds appropriated
for that purpose.

That the board of regents and the
faculty of the Eastern Oregon Nor
NAL School will personally back their
institution. should the appropriation
bill be held up, there seems no doubt,
and according to the statement OF
members of the board no fear is en-
tertained for the future of the school
should the referendum be invoked on
the general appropriation measure.
The board met this morning in the
offices of Carter & Raley, and all
members were present except Messrs.
Scriber and Saxton. In the absence
of the former, who is the president
of the board, the chair was occupied
by r. Alexander. Nothing but the
probable effect on the school of the
hold-up of the appropriation bill was
discussed, and in this connection 1t
was taken for granted that the latter
will occur.
Following the meeting Secretary
| Worthington stated that provisions
had been made to met the financial
needs of the school by the members
of the board personally, should this
be found necessary. This is done be-
lieving that in any event no future
legislature will refuse to reimburse
the board for the expenses incurred
by an economical management.
According to Mr. worthington no
apprehension is felt by any member
of the board regarding the future of
the school. In fact, the future pros
poets are regarded as being unusual
! ly good, since out of the present dis
| cussion, as far as the Eastern Oregon
Normal is concerned, there must pre-
vail settled policy of maintenance
that will place it on a permanent un-
questioned basis. Especially is this
true because of the fact that the
school is the only state institution In
Eastern Oregon and has buildings
and equipment superior to those OF
any other normal school in the state.
In view of the attitude of the board
of regents to stand by their school,
the prospective hold-up of the appro-
priation bill need have no terrors for
the Weston institution. The follow
ing were present at the meeting this
forenoon: r. Alexander, C. w. Proeb-
stel, ]. H. Raley, w. NJ. Blakeley, P.
A. Worthington and President French.

SHALL LEASE BE RENEWED?
Revival of Interest I'm the Subject OF
Golf.

Shall the lease for the golf links be
renewed and interest i'm that pastime
be revived? This is the question that
is now being discussed among local
enthusiasts, and which must be de-
cided soon. On April l the lease
upon the tract of land that has been
used for golfing purposes expires, and
unless it is renewed it is feared that
the land will be rented for other pur-
poses, from which it seems more
revenue may be derived, should the
owners, Messrs. Dickson and Clopton,
desire to let it go.
]. 7. Lamberth, one of the most
enthusiastic of the local golf players,
was seen this morning and said that
an effort will be made between now
and the first of the month to secure
a sufficient number of members for
the association to renew the lease.
According to Mr.. Lamberth it will re-
quire at least Is members for the
purpose, and that SIS will be needed
to secure the land for another year.
Should golf be played this year
this will be the third season for the
game in Pendleton, and 1t is hoped
by the enthusiasts that there will be
sufficient interest in the sport to
keep it going.

Socialism in Japan.

Japan has had more or less exper-
ience with socialism since 1882. In
that year Japanese of the name Of
Tarui attempted to organize a social
ist party in Japan. Ten years later
the Eastern Liberal" party, which
manifested an interest in labor prob
lens, was founded But these early
attempts at socialistic organization
were Of little Importance. Japan
formed socialist association in 1900,
taking as its model the English Fa-
bian society. This association found
ed n social democratic party. which
issued its manifesto April 20, 1901,
but was suppressed by the govern /?
ment the same day.
