Washington, Aug. The news

given rise to interesting speculation
here as TO what viii result IL the plen-
ipOtentiaries agree TO disagree
It Is well known that the president
took the lively interest he has exhf-
bited I'm the RUssO-Japanese war by
reason OF the tremendous commercial
interests Of the United States which
are involved in the settlement He is
therefore playing a smooth and even
keen game because he expects to
have the resulting commercial status
in favor Of the United States. who
ever wins out in the peace game
prominent official said here to-
day that the president would not let
the peace negotiations 60 by default

fail TO come TO an agreement and
separate on good terms, as is expect

play for both Russia and Japan would
be to invite the arbitration OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt a proposition OF this
kind made by either side. il is believ-
ed here, would not now be rejected
In the diplomatic opinion here Rus
STA certainly would not object for the
reason that the impression has been
produced here in diplomatic circles
that the president is urging Japan to
modify her terms

COMMISSIONERS IN CONFERENCE
MEMBERS FROM THIS COUNTY
AND KIT CARSON COUNTY.
SIet I'm KanOradO Wednesday and
Talked Over Highway Along Kan
sas and Colorado Line.

The board Of county commissioners
Of Sherman county, composed OF y.
Z AIbertsOn, First district: J. w.
Klauer, Second districts and W. A
Season. Third district, were in con-
ference with the board OF county
commissioners OF Kit Carson county.
Colorado, at KauOradO, Wednesday
COmmissir ers Burr and Gephart
represented Kit Carson county, the
third member Of the board not being
able to be present on account OF sick
ness
The meeting was previously ar
ranged by correspondence between
the two county clerks OF the respec-
tive counties, and the subject before
the conference Wednesday was as TO
whether the state line was or could
fbe made a public highway
There has been considerable annoy
ance and Inconvenience among the
people who live near the line in the
two states in their travelling Occas-
toned by the fact that the section
lines in Kansas and those in Colorado
are not continuous lines The jog
makes an end OF the road for the
traveller going either way across the
line, and since in many cases the state
line has been fenced, there is no way
in these instances Of getting across
through the wire fences II the line
between the two states were an high
way, all that the traveller would have
20 do would be to drive a distance
either north or south until he came
TO the section line running in the
other state. and the fact that this
seemingly natural highway has 5ey1
made more or less Inaccessible Of
these two counties are anxious 10
we an open highway along their
territory.
The county commissioners will take
the question up with the attorney
general in their respective states TO
see IL the boundary cannot be made
a section line" so to speak.
From KanOradO to a point about
four miles south along the state line,
the county commissioners Of Kit Car
son county. by a petition from the
people, have opened a highway on
the Colorado side. 80 feet wide. which
is but half the width OF the standard
highway. They think 1t is no more
than right that Kansas should give
the other thirty feet
The conference took place in the
German hotel, and besides the COM
missiOners there were a good many
interested people at the meeting to
express their views about the matter
All the farmers want a road opened,
but the large cattle owners are better
satisfied with the conditions as they
now exist They build miles Of drift
fence along the state line and turn
their cattle into AL out doors as
there Is free range in Colorado The
minute they get acrOs into Kansas
there is a reverse law, and the owner
Of stock is responsible Of they tres
pass or get into growing crops.
