ROOSEVELT POINTS OUT THE WAY

Outline of Proposition to Baron Roson
Becomes Known-Suggestion Hard
For the Gear, as Author of The
Hague Peace Conference, to Reject
-Japan's Acceptance Considered
Assured if Russia S is Obtained.
Portsmouth, N. H., Special.-It can
not be autroritatively stated that the
feature Of the proposition of Presi-
dent Roosevelt communicated through
Baron Rosen. to. Mr.. Witte and trans
mitted by the latter to Emperor Nicho-
las was based upon the principle OF
arbitration. Whether the proposal con-
templates arbitration of all the articles
npon which the plenipotentiaries have
failed to agree, or upon the question of
indemnity cannot be stated with posi-
tiveness, but it is more than probable
that it relates only to indemnity or to
indemnity and tha cession of the is
land of Sakhalin. Neither is it posi-
BILE to say whether the President has
has yet made similar.proposition to
Japan. The customary diplomatic pro-
ceedings in such case would be to
submit the proposal simultaneously to
both countries, but there might be an
advantage in securing the adherence
of one before submitting it to the
other.
To Emperor Nicholas, the author of
The Hague peace conference, the sug-
gestion of arbitration which will neces-
sarily Immediately command the SYM
pathy of the public opinion of the
world will be particularly hard to re-
ject. If he agrees, Japan, if she has
not already done so, would be all the
more bound to submit her claim to the
decision of an impartial arbitrator. Ac
ceptance by both sides would involve
a great extension OF the principle OF
arbitration, as nations have heretofore
declined to arbitrate questions involy-
ing their ''honor and dignity" Both
Mr.. Takahira and Mr.. Witte in the
earlier stages of the conference abso-
lutely rejected the idea OF arbitration,
and both reiterated their disbelief IN
such q solution. 1t was noticed, how
ever, that Mr.. Whites opinion was not
expressed as strongly as it was last
week.

Much Of this came in from what is
known as the fertilizer privilege tag
tax, IL tax Of 25 certs ton on COM
mercial fertilizers from the manu-
facturers. This tax last year amount
cd to $11S,OOO and will be about the
same this year. A fight was made
in the last Legislature to have this
tax divided with Winthrop, but the
scheme, after a vigorous fight, was
killed in the Senate.

An Offer to Japan.

Portsmouth, N. a., Special. The
chances of peace have undoubtedly
been improved by President Roose-
syelt's action in stepping into the
breach in a last heroic cndeavor to
induce the warning countries to COM
promise their "irreconcilable differ
ences," but the result is still in sus-
pense.
The ultimate decision of the issue
has de facto if not de jure, passed
from the plenipotentiaries to the:!:
principals, from Portsmouth to St.
Petersburg, and perhaps in a lesser
extent, to Toxic. although there are
collateral evidences that IS ssure both
by President Rooseve1 and neutral
powers, including Japans ally, Great
Britain, whose minister, Claude Nc
Donald, according to advices received
here, held a long conference Sunday
afternoon with Mr.. Katsura, the Japan
ese, Premier, is still being exerted at
Toxic to induce Japan to moderate
her demands, there is reason to be-
lieye that President Roosevelt was
able at his interview with Baron de
Rosen to practically communicate to
the latter's senior, Mr. Witte, Japan S
irreducible minimun-what she would
yield, but the point beyond which she
would not go.
Whether an actual basis of compro-
mise was proposed by the President,
cannot be stated definitely. The only
thing that can be affirmed positively
is that if Russia refuses to act upon
the suggestion or proposition of Pres
ident Roosevelt the peace conference
will end in failure.
No clue of the nature Of this rec
ommendation has transpired. But it
can be stated that Mr.. Witte, no mat
ter how he may personally view the
proposition, is distinctively pessimis-
tic as to the character of the response
which will come from st. Petersburg.
TO confidential friend he offered lit
tie hope of change in the situation.
The japanese, very firmly believed,
cling to the substance If not the form
of this demand for remuneration for
"the cost Of the war
Perhaps they are willing to decrease
the sum asked, but substantial COM
pensation, under whatever guise it is
obtained they decline to relinquish.
And they are also firm upon the ces-
sion of Sakhalin.

PLACER GOLD
Gravel Has in Past Years Produced
Many Millions.

During the past week party of
four eastern men, among whom
were 0. E. Chapman and Mr..
French, of Boston, spent some
time here in conference with e. e.
Burlingame and other men. The
next day a gang of men and teams
started for junction Bar and the
South Boise River, to commence
work on their gold placer property
there. The local men interested
are very close mouthed, but it is
understood that the tests made dur
ing the past summer months were
very encouraging, and that the
work now being done is prelimi-
nary to extensive operations next
season.
Several companies own placer
property at Junction Bar, the
most prominent one being the Ell
more Gold Extraction Co., which
sent up the mammoth traction
drill last June.
Years ago many millions OF
dollars in free gold was taken out
of the gravel beds in that immedi.
ate vicinity.

PROVES PROPERTY
The Real Loser Of That Dime Make S
Himself Known.

Advertising-usually brings it's
legitimate result, when it is ju-
diciously done. We were about to
say, from force of habit, "Adver-
tising pays" But we are not sure
yet that it has paid in the case in
mind.
The former owner of that "short
bit" of which we wrote at some
length last week has been found.
In fact, he never was lost. 1t was
only his dime that was lost, and
he knew where it was all the time.
The paper had not been perused
by half its town readers before the
loser appeared, by proxy, and
proved property. But no one has
yet appeared, in person or by
proxy, to pay for the notice. In
asmuch as the aforesaid proxy es
tablished the fact that the coin was
clear loss to him, and lost through
his own benevolence, we have not so
far pressed the claim.
It has been settled that the
original loss was from funds Of the
band, and not from funds of the
Village. We state this to relieve
the minds of the taxpayers.
That dime ought to have been
worth dollar to the finder. 1t
was ten-center before it was lost;
and it was ten times as much of o
scenter when it was found as
it was before. The man who
made q toss for Louie Herr hat
and hit the spittoon may have
thought he had made clear miss,
but we think he made a scenter
shot.
Our right to use our space tc
advertise lost and found coin in
this way has been questioned once
already. But until we are con.
vinced to the contrary we shall
continue to act on the assumption
that we have that right.
