ADMIRAL TOGO
IS CAUTIOUS
WILL NOT RISK EVERYTHING
BY BATTLE WITH ROJEsT-
VENSkY JUST YET.

New York, May 1.-korokega Taxa
shi, financial agent of the Japanese
government, who arrived from Lon.
don yesterday after negotiating the
recent Japanese war loan, said today
that Admiral Togo would not offer bat
tie to the Russians because he had
too much at stake and was not will
ing to risk all on the first throw of
the dice. In his opinion, the most i'm
portant matter under consideration
by the Japanese statesman is the en-
larging of the scope of the alliance
now existing between Japan and Great
Britain.
He considers that Russia will be So
weakened by the war that it's influence
in the far east will not be seriously
considered for ten years.
When he was asked if he thought
there was any possibility of an ALI
ance between Russia and Japan for
the imposing of Monroe doctrine, in
the far east, he said:
THAT is a French IDEA. which has
been given birth owing to the alarm
the French have felt over the en-
croachment of the emperor of Ger
many in China. or course there Is
nothing preposterous about the idea
of such an alliance, but at the pres
ent time the Japanese statesmen are
considering ways and means of eff
fecting a great offensive and defen
sive alliance with Great Britain

SITUATION IN RUSSIA.
1t is Not SO Bad Outside of Districts
in Poland.


st. Petersburg, May aside from
the expected May day disorders in Po-
land, where revolutionary parades led
to sanguinary encounters with the po-
lice and troops in Warsaw, Lodz and
other industrial centers, perfect order
prevailed yesterday throughout Rus
sia. There was no sign even of de-
sire to stir up trouble, Indicating the
baselessness of rumOrs that had been
current for some time of plans of
rioting and pillage on the second day
or the Easter holidays.
Associated Press correspondents at
Moscow, Odessa, Kieff, Minsk, Kishi.
neff and other points state that Rus
slams of all political faiths devoted
themselves to the customary holiday
festivities with apparently no thought
OF disorder, and in st. Petersburg ev-
en- the industrial quarter which had
previously been thrOnged with discon-
tent, took on the appearance of merry
making and feasting.
Governor General Trepoff, who is
closely in touch with the situation,
early realized the state of public feel
ing and while he did not withdraw
the troops or police from strategic DO
sitlons, issued orders that they keep
out of sight and avoid any unneces.
sary display of force.
The explosion of bomb early Mon
day morning in a room in an apart
ment house, while not connected with
any plan of rioting. indicates that the
terorists are still preparing to execute
vengeance against individuals undet-
erred by the arrests of score of par
ticipantS in one plot.

PROF.SILLOWAY
IS TO REMAIN
WILL TAKE CHARGE OF THE
CITY SCHOOLS NEXT FALL,
SUCCEEDING PROF. BEWS.

It will surely give pleasure to the
friends of education in Montana to
learn that Prof. Perley NJ. Silloway,
for several years past principal of the
Fergus County High School, will not
leave Montana. A few weeks ago
Prof. Silloway urged the acceptance
of his resignation, which had previous
ly been sent in, and the trustees, hav-
ing found suitable man to take his
place, accepted it. 1t was the inten-
tion of the instructor to enter a new
field of labor, and he was making
his plans to that end, when it became
known that there would be vacan-
cy in the position of superintendent.
Prof. J. R. Bevis notified the board
prior to the meeting Monday evening
that he would not be available for
the following year, and the position
was unanimously rendered to Prof.
Silloway, who accepted it, and will
take charge at the beginning of the
next school year.
Bonds Are Sold.
The trustees at this meeting also
accepted the bid of Duke M. Farson,
of Chicago, for the issue of $4,000
of school bonds, the money to be used
in paying off the existing indebted
ness. Mr.. Farson offered premium
of 500 for the bonds, he to furnish
the blank bonds. The other bids re-
ceived were as follows:
Montana State Land Commission,
par; First National Bank of Lewis.
town, par; S. A. Keane, Chicago, $25
premium, he to furnish the blank
bonds.
Margaret M. Hughey was re-employ-
ed as teacher in the kindergarten,
the board having so arranged its finan-
ces that this department will be con-
tinued.
S. X. Remington was employed as
janitOr.

Mt, WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY Z. zoos.


Montana clips is not of such inferior
value as indicated by this require
ment. In fact, some time ago the
River Press gave particulars of a
transaction in which the buck wool
of a certain clip was excluded from
local sale. and shipped east to be
sold on it's merits, and which brought
a higher net price than the other part
of the clip. Had it been subject to
the local buyers rule OF sale, its own.
er would have received less than one
half its market value. This may havI
been an exceptional case, but we are
informed by practical sheepmen that
they consider their buck wool worth
considerably more than the price con
templated by this arbitrary rule. Some
of them say it is the best part of
their clip, and others claim that while
its shrinkage may be slightly greater
than that of the other wool, it is of
longer staple and has other desirable
qualities"
The Press rightly contends that
buck wool should be sold on its mer.
it's as such and to the buyer who will
pay the best price and that this sea-
son is a good one to put an end TO
the buck wool graft"

REPUBLICAN IN POLITICS. AND DEVOTED TO THE MINE

Friends and Neignbors: It all
seems good to have chance to come
here today and say a few words to
you. For a number of years | have
lived where my neighbors were lust
such good people as these whom
see here before me. 1t is but true fer
me to say then that feel thoroughly
at home with you.
1 cannot say how much l have
enjoyed my stay here. Not only have
l been teated middling we'll by the
bears, which treatment has not been
rec1procated by me, but the people
nave fairly Outdone themselves in
their hospitality. I have enjoyed so
much seeing the growth and prosper
ity Of your community. Only the 9TH
er day was speaking to the dominic
here as to success and what it means.
One of the best illustrations of Amer.
ican ideas and possibilities of success
is the Grand Army man. From lieu.
tenant general to the humblest pri.
vate in the rear of the ranks there
Is one title, and that is 'comrade'
So we judge the success of man as
a private citizen. Success from the
soldiers standpoint means that man
did his duty up to the handle wheth-
er he carried a musket or a sword.
So it is in civil life, real success con-
sists in doing ones duty in the path
where ones life is laid.
DUTY, remember, is doing what is
right by self, family and neighbor
1t is not possible for any of us to
say just how much accident there is
in winning the great prizes of life.
There is ALWAYS some accident in If
No amount of skill, perseverance or
energy is sure of winning the great
prize Of life. Real success consists
in bearing yourself so that your chill
dren will bless you for having done
all that was in your power to bring
them up to their home and state"

AS to Buck Wool.

The Benton River Press, in a re-
cent editorial. calls attention to the
custom that has prevailed among
woolgrowers in Montana of insisting
that buck wool be excluded from 9TH
er wool and be sold at half the price.
The River Press regarded this as an
imposition on the grower, and SAYS.
Gin a few of the reports of recent
wool sales in northern Montana, it is
announced that the price paid for the
clip applies also to the buck wool, but
in most of the transactions it is un-
derstOod that the rules of sale orig
mated and proclaimed by syndicate
OF eastern buyers SOME years age,
form part of the contract. These
rules require the grower to sell his
buck wool for one-half the price paid
for the bulk of his clip. This rule
is simply graft for the benefit OF
the buyer, as the buck wool of most

BIG BREWERS
INLEWIST0WN
LEHRKIND e. ANDERSON MAY FUr
IN A LARGE BREWERY IN
THIS CITY.

Lewistown stands an excellent
chance of having another large indus
try established here in the near fu-
ture. Carl Lehrkind and G. II. An
derson, the widely known and sue.
cessful brewers of Bozeman, who have
large brewery at that place and an
other in Carbon county, visited the
Judith metropolis last week to look
over the situation with view to es
tablishing a large, modern brewing
plant here.
Pleased With the outlook.
The gentlemen were much pleased
with the general outlook, as they
would have here fine water supply
and have market all around them
The all important question of site
occupied most of their attention, and
while no particulars are given out as
yet, it is understood that there will
be no difficulty in regard to that fea
ture.
A Big Establishment.
Such an enterprise as Messrs. Lehr'
kind and Anderson would engage in
would give LewistOwn a big plant
and would add not little to the pay
roll. These men are masters Of their
business, and turn out an article that
would leave imported beers small
chance for competition.
After comforting with the railroad
officials, and going into the PROPOSE,
tion thoroughly, the visitors left for
their home city very favorably i'm
pressed with the feasibility of their
project.
