RUSSO JAPANESE
WAR is AT An END.
The Treaty Of Portsmouth Signed
BY the Two Emperora.
AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
As q Mark of Appreciation of the
Part Taken by President Roose-
welt, He Was First Person Noti-
fed by Russian Governments

st. Petersburg. Oct 16.-Spencer Ed
dy, the American charge d'affaires, has
officially informed the foreign Office
that the emperor of Japan ratified the
Russo-Japanese peace treaty Saturday.
The French minister at Toxic at the
same hour informed the japanese gov
ernment that Emperor Nicholas had
signed the treaty.
Formally Announced.
The ratification of the treaty Of peace
is formally announced in the official
Messenger, which says that its opera
tion began Saturday. The text of the
treaty is not given.
AS graceful mark of appreciation
of the part he took in bringing about
the conference at Portsmouth and the
resultant peace, President Roosevelt
was the first person to be-notified by
the Russian government that Emperor
Nicholas had ratified the treaty. AS
soon as the emperor's signature had
been affixed to the instrument, and be-
fore the treaty had been brought back
from Peterhof for the counter-signa-
ture of Foreign Minister Lamsdorf, the
news was sent directly to the president.
Official notification to the French gov
ernment, according to the foreign Of
fee, followed several hours later, when
Count Lamsdorf had completed the
ratification by his signature
AS soon as the treaty had been fully
ratified the foreign office communicated
the fact to the war, navy and other
ministers, and the necessary orders
were Immediately issued to bring home
some of the ships interned in neutral
harbors.
The date for the exchange of prison
ers of war has not yet been fixed.
Thomas Smith, American vice-consul
at Moscow, has sent to Medvid several
thousand roubles which had been re-
ceived from Japan for the Japanese
prisoners there.
The government took no steps to
make known to the people of Russia
the fact that the emperor had signed
the treaty, before the receipt of the
official notification, that the instrument
had been ratified by the signature.
Little remains to. be done to meet the
official requirements. At later date,
possibly in the course of a month or
two, copies of the treaty will be actual
ly exchanged, possibly in Washington,
by the Russian ambassador and the
Japanese minister or charge daffaires,
for it is possible that Minister Takahira
will, before that occurrence, have gone

be increased Sl65, 5000. Through
the change in the valuation the state
will get A70. .OO in excess of the amount
due under the former valuation. The
average value of agricultural land
under the assessors valuation was
A.97 per acre, grazing land II cents,
and horses $E.99. The state board
informed the assessor that agricultu-
raj land should have been assessed at
$500 per acre, grazing land at sl.25,
and horses at $500 per head. What
ever else may be said of the state
board it cannot be accused of being
tinid or mincing words. at least when
dealing with an officer subject to its
mandates. 1t seems to believe that
the assessment made by Assessor
Watts was anything hut fair In
fact, it says that his valuation was
manifestly unfair and made with the
object of defrauding the state. When
Assessor Watts was called before the
state beard some weeks ago to explain
his method of assessing, the county
commissioners stated that Assessor
Watts should have their support and
that il the state board of equalization
ordered a raise they would fight the
matter in the courts. A different feel
ing now prevails in regard to the
matter, however, and Mr.. Watts says
he will at once comply with the orders
of the board. Sterling Advocate.

Good Land for Boets.

1t is somewhat strange, but fact
nevertheless, that while the beet crop
is not turning out the tonnage expect
ed in the GreeleyLongmont country,
in the South Platte valley the yield is
equal to what it had been anticipated
and in many instances the tonnage
per acre is proving greater than even
the most liberal estimates. When it
comes to sugar beets, acre for acre.
the South Platte valley has its south
westerly neighbors buried out of sight
this year. The climatic conditions
have been practically the same in both
sections, but for some reason the crop
of sugar beets in this section is far
superior to any other portion of the
state. A reasonable explanation of
this fact may possibly be found in the
fact that the soil of the South Platte
valley is particularly adapted to beet
culture. Taking into consideration
the fact that in the coming years beet
growing will be the chief factor in
agriculture, it can readily be seen that
the development Of this part of the
state is misunderstanding Advocate.
