Our Own Country.
When we compare Japan, with It's
dense population, its wealth, its rev
enues, its trade and commerce, its
national strength, with any section of
our own country equal to it in area
and natural resources, we are amazed
at the great possibilities Of future de-
velopment in our own country.
The entire population of Japan is
about forty-five million, of which
thirty million Is farming population,
and this vast population of thirty mil
lon farmers and their families Is sus-
tanned on nineteen thousand square
miles of irrigated land. There is no
agriculture in Japan but irrigated
agriculture. They have learned that
water is the greatest fertilizer known
to nature, and save and utilize it with
the same care that they use every
other available process for the fertili-
zation of their fields.
Nineteen thousand square miles is
an area about one hundred and thirty
five miles square, and in a square in a
corner of the State of Illinois, the COM
parative size of which to the rest of
the State is shown on the accompany
ing map, is sustained nation which,
to the amaZement of all other peoples
on the earth, has sprung to the front
as one Of the great world powers.
Source of Power.
And the Home Acre farms or gar
dens-the rural homes of Japan-are
the source of that national power.
Commenting on this, the author Of
the article in the August 1904 Book

says in that article:-

ure has made its plains to yield, Japan
has fed and clothed and educated its
multiplying masses, fast nearing the

PRESIDENT FAvORS

(Scripps News Association.)

H.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 81
1t Is stated on reliable authority
that in his message to congress,
President Roosevelt will recon-
mend to congress that a new de-
partment of government be estab-
lished, to take charge of the coun-
try's insular possessions. If con-
gress acts favorably this work will
mean new cabinet ocer and the
relieving of three existing depart
ments of work that their chiefs
have found to be enormous. The
war department has the Philip
pines, the state department has
Porto Rico and the navy depart
ment has Guam. The hardest work
has fallen on the war department
through its bureau of insular af-
fairs. All the departments affected
are earnestly in favor of a change
which will bring relief. Gossip al
ready names the man for the new
place if it be created. He is Col.
Clarence r. Edwards, chief of the
war departments bureau of insular
affairs. He is an Ohio man, a pro-
tege of Mckinley and Hanna in
the old days, and is said to be we'll
liked by the president.

for the Big Creek district and was
one of the first crowd out of the
higher country into the new Ell Do
RADIO. The new camp is about two
miles from the Florence group and,
because of the ease with which wa
ter is obtained, the lower altitude
and the consequent smaller snow
fall and the greater accessibility,
development work is expected to
go on with greater speed than was
maintained in the early days at
Roosevelt. The new camp is
reached from Grangeville by fol-
lowing the old Roosevelt road to
Elk Summit, from which point a
new wagon road is now being built.
This road runs six miles to the
west of the new Big Greek excite
ment.

There is no meeting of the coun-

to action taken last Friday. The
commissioners are discussing the
plan of holding their meetings on
two consecutive days instead of
Tuesdays and Fridays. If the
change is made the meetings will
probably be held on Fridays and
Saturdays. This plan will enable
Commissioner Connolly to come in

News Of the new mining camp in
southern Idaho has just reached
the city. and the new find has al
ready caused a stampede from
Roosevelt and Thunder Mountain.
The new camp is situated some 20
miles this side of Roosevelt in the
Big Creek district. Though news
of the discovery became public
only four weeks ago there are $50
men in the new diggings. Actual
finding of pay gold was made by
a Roosevelter named Merritt about
q year ago. He kept extremely
quiet about it, but he was trailed
on a recent trip by men who be-
lieved that he had found something
of importance.

declared that he had twice seen
Miss Lutina approach men and
speak to them. He arrested her,
he said, Immediately after she had
accosted a passerby. Other police
men and one or two men gave evil
dence that they knew Miss Lutina
to be of bad reputation. This was
the whole case for the police, and
was placed before the court by a
lawyer hired by Scotland Yard.
During the testimony against her
Miss Lutina wept bitterly in her
dock, and moaned, 81 cannot bear
it; l cannot listen to it; l have
nevermolested anybody. Oh, my
poor father"
Miss Lutina fortunately was able
to find witnesses who testified that
she had not spoken to anyone, and
that the police simply made her a
prisoner as she was walking quiet
ly along the street. VIM. Garten,
one of these witnesses, declared
that the police tried to compel him
to give false testimony in the case.
The police denied any such con-
versation with Garten had been
held, but another employee of the
underground railway station swore
that he had overheard the CONVEX.
satiOn. and that Garten smoke the
truth.
Two other witnesses testified
that they happened to be a little
distance behind the policeman
when he made the arrest, and that
there was no one else in the street,
so that Miss Lutina could not have
accosted anyone.
This evidence was sufficient for
the Judge, and he discharged Miss
Lutina.

WARM FIGHT
Still ACTIVE:
BETWEEN THE WHISKEY
AND ANTI-WHISKEY AD-
V0CATES OF SO.
PITTSBURG.
HON. FOSTER v. BROWN BRINGS sE-
RIOUs CHARGES AGAINST MAY
OR WlLSON-BlTTER FIGHT.

For some weeks the people of the en-
tire valley have been watching with in
terest the war between the whiskey
and anti-whiskey forces of South Pitts
burg. a saloon is now open in the town
and scheme and counter scheme has
been made on both sides, to maintain
their position, the whiskey men to keep
the saloon open, and the temperance
people to close it up under the Adams
law.
Hon. Foster Y. Brown of Chattanooga
has now entered the lists, and in sign
ed letter, to the Chattanooga Times,
makes serious charges against the may
or of South Pittsburg, w. Ii. Wilson.
The following resume of the charges
is'clipped from the Chattanooga Times:
"Mr Brown charges that before the
last election Mr.. Wilson, who was then
a candidate for mayor, promised his sup
porters that If elected he would see
that saloon was opened in town.
None had been there for four years and
everybody supposed the town was un-
der the Adams law, as it certainly is"
"Mr. Brown also charges that before
the saloon was opened Wilson saw
Judge MeReynold's, talked to him a
bout opening the saloon, and stated
that he intended to see that a saloon
was opened in So. Pittsburg, and the
same thing Wilson told the attorney.
general, Mr.. Whitaker
''lt is further charged by Mr.. Brown
that Mr.. Wilson furnished a portion OF
the money for Erwin to. procure his Ii.
license. Also that Wilson went Err.
wins bond in some of the cases against
him.
Under the Adams law liquor selling
was voted out of So. Pittsburg. The
last legislature passed an act providing
for the extension of boundaries OF the
Marion county town. The saloon peo
pie claim that since the,extension of the
boundary lines the town has more than
5000 inhabitants and therefore doesn't
come within the provisions of the act.
