A MID the smoke and flame of the

A MID the smoke and flame of the
~ worlds most awful sea fight Des-
tiny has carved new name high
UP in the Hall Of Fame.
For week Christendom, astounded,
has been calling him "Togo the Ter
rible," while English speaking hero
worshipers have glibly dubbed him
the Nelson of the Orient" or have
striven to compare him with Farragut,
Dewey of Sampson. Both the per-
sonality of the man and the environ
ment from which he sprang are apt to
render such, comparisons illusory.
England had glorius naval traditions
years before Nelson fought the Victory.
Farragut, Dewey and Sampson were Of
the same race as Lawrence, Decatur
and Hull. But this twentieth century
viking of the east, who has just annihi-
lated one of the greatest armadas that
ever sailed the sea and has humbled
the most autocratic power of Europe,
springs from a race which has essayed
and has. mastered the arts of modern
warfare within the memory of living
men; race warlilke, but until fifty
years ago stepped in the medieval mys-
ticism of the Orient, until a generation
ago alike without either naval tradi-
tion or aspiration.
Barely fifty years have passed since
Commodore Matthew c. Perry of the
United States navy sailed his old flag
ship Mississippi into Japanese ports,
closed until then to western influences
and opened the unwilling eyes of the
Samurai to their first glimpse of mod
ern sea power. That was in 1854. Togo
Heihachiro, the hero of Port Arthur,
and now of the greater victory of the
Tsushima, was born three years later.
Though not yet so years of age, there
fore, the lifetime of this man has
spanned both the birth and the apothe-
osis of Japan as great naval power.
1t has been the destiny of Togo not
to maintain galaxy of glorious tradi-
tions in his peoples history, but to
create them.
What manner of man is this yellow
skinned, taciturn admiral, who, with
Oyama and others of his race has been
teaching Christendom that the east
may be the east and yet not be effete;
that the lands of Buddha and Confu-
cius may yet rear champions who can
meet the Occident on it's own terms
and crush it with its own weapons?
OF the New Japan
In outline at least the admiraIs ca
reer is fairly well known. He was a
child of the new Japan, though scion
of the old Samurai stock. Endowed at
birth with all the chivalrous traditions
of the ancient Satsuma civilization
there was grated upon his boyhood
the vital sap of western progressive
ideals. He and Japan have grown to
manhood together. Since his name has
become one to conjure with the news
papers have teemed with tales of his
early naval training. Though Japan
had reluctantly opened her doors to
Perry. her thirst for acquisition soon
became a passion. and Britain and
America gladly opened their. doors to
her eager young men.
Togo was among the first from Japan
to lay the foundation OF his nautical
training between decks of the old
schoolship Worcester on the Thames
That was nearly forty years ago. He
was an exemplary lad, according to all
accounts II as Lord Charles Reres-

by birth, but his wife is of one Of the

SEED WHEAT IS
NOW IN DEMAND
FARMERS CLEANED UP A PROFIT
BY HIGH PRICES.
Thought They Would Be Able to Buy
Seed Grain at Lower Prices Than
Those Ruling When Crop Was Nov
ing One Authority Thinks Seed
Wheat Is Not Equally Distributed.

The application Of Representative
Stevenson of Crookston, to the treasury
department, for ruling upon the mat
ter Of permitting northwestern farmers
to import Canadian wheat for seed,
without payment of duty, has turned at
tention to the wheat supply situation
in the northwest. =. There is a. great
shortage of wheat this year. Secretary
Rogers Of the Minneapolis Chamber Of
Commerce, in the Minneapolis Market
Record Of today, calculates that when
figured up, there is a general deficit in
Minnesota and the Dakotas of 30,459,.
843 bushels.
The farmers, tempted by prices high
or than for many years, have sold them,
selves out of wheat. BY Dec. 81, only
51.2 per cent Of the crop was left in
the farmers hands, compared with 81
per cent remaining at the correspond
ing date a year ago. In North Dakota
! the farmers hold only 21.9 per cent
against "a, and in South Dakota &C.;
per cent against As. Secretary Roger:
makes a statement extremely bullish
as to supplies, basing it on estimated
total production Of 170,000,OO0 bushels
states produced more than 55,000,0O(
bushels last year.
The fact that the representative O.
the ninth Minnesota district, EN-
bracing large and important whea
producing area, should concern himsel
with the matter Of obtaining free see'
wheat for his constituents, is taken o.
'change as indicating bad situation
The Inference drawn is that some farm
ers have sold themselves out, believ
ing the high prices would not last, an
that they could later buy seed whea
cheaper, but as this now begins to ar
pear unlikely, they are disposed to tur
to Canada for it.
G. G. Dalrymple Of the big Dalrympl
farm, who Is in Minneapolis, says h
believes there is seed enough in tn

JOHNSONS WERE, THERE
Nine Awaited an Audience with the
Mayor Today.

Altho it is conceded that the John
sons were an important factor in elect
ing John A. johnson to the governors
chair, Mayor D. P. Jones was not with
out his following from that well-known
family.
The crowd that has been hanging
the appointments to be announced, has
dwindled down until this morning there
were but twelve Of the anxious ones
in his outer office.
Of the twelve, nine were Johnsons.
The proportion was discovered when G.
o. Johnson Of the treasurer's office
came in to speak with the mayor. As
he came in he was greeted by A. P.
johnson, captain of police in the third
precinct The introduction of friends
that followed resulted in the organizing
of temporary johnson society Of nine
members.

FAKE THERMOMETERS

Fake thermometers are the latest Of
the cares added to those Of suffering
humanity. A Washington avenue s
clothing dealer, whose place Of bust

said to have conceived the idea, and
it works to perfection.
The two worthless, the saloonkeeper
and the clothier, put their heads to-
gether and decided to profit by the
changes in Minneapolis weather. They
bought five large thermometers, all Of
a kind. Four were doctored, while the
fifth was left to "tell the TRUTH

POMONA WILL CALL
COMPANY TO ACCOUNT
Sunset Telephone Corporation Refuses
to Secure Franchise, Says
Citv ATTORNEY


Pomona, firm in the belief that one
corporation should not be given priv
ileges or immunities denied other cor
porations, Is up in arms against the
Sunset Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany. City Attorney Robert Loucks
is conducting the fight. He says:
"Since 1898 the company has oper-
ated in Pomona without franchise,
thereby escaping a taxation Of 2 per
cent on its gross annual receipts as
provided for under the Broughton act.
The Home Telephone company is
forced to pay the tax. The Sunset
people treat with silent contempt any
attempt made to place them on an
equal footing with their competitor.
SHOULD Pomona win in its fight, a
dozen other cities throughout the state
will take similar measures to make the
company procure franchises.
-Four weeks ago the city council of
Pomona cited the officers of the COM
pany to appear and show cause why
they should not obtain franchise and
pay the per cent annual tax on their
gross receipts, or on failure Of which
why their poles, erected in the streets
of said city, should not be declared a
public nuisance and cut down."
When the company saw that Mr..
Loucks, with the council behind him,
was preparing to make a fight to the
finish, BILLY" Dunn of Los Angeles,
counsel for the company in this dis
trict, appeared and asked a postpone
ment for one week until e. S. Pillsbury,
general counsel and first vice president
of the company with headquarters in
San Francisco, could appear before
the council and explain the position of
his corporation, which claims immun-
ity as an interstate telephone company.
Pomona Is taking an unusual interest
in the fight, as it's citizens believe it
is question of the violation of a
principle of American liberty and
equality, and other cities are watching
the outcome with the deepest interest.
Should the Sunset people refuse to
take out franchise. the Pomona coun-
Gil is expected to order the removal of
the companys property from the
streets of the city.
