Thomas Mcbride, a prominent stock
raiser. who resides miles below Pom

the city Sunday on his way to Salmon
river in quest Of a stock ranch. Mr..
Mcbride recently sold his ranch in
Garfield county for $4,000 He paid
$4,000 for the place three years ago
and this season cut $l100 worth Of al
falfa hay from the premises. Last
year while attending the fair here, he
bought three prize Red Pole bull
calves. for which he paid 800 each,
and now states that he has band OF
20 hend Of this breed Of cattle.
The range in Garfield county is get

has found stock raising most profita-
bile. desires to continue in the business
and for this reason decided to seek
new range on Salmon river for his
herd. He has been n resident OF Gar

because, the points Of difference hav-

phraseology.
The Importance of the text of the
various sections of the treaty s not
minimized by the president and he
appreciates thoroughly that obstacles
may arise at any moment that might
delay seriously negotiations or possi-
bly, wreck them entirely. The woods
will not be cleared entirely until the
treaty is signed and sealed. The place
to be selected for the appending OF
signatures to the treaty raises a ques-

wherever it might be negotiated, was
to be signed in Washington. and be

PEACE ASSURED BETWEEN
RUSSIA and JAPAN
PIenipotentiaries of the Mikado Withdraw De
nends for Indemnity and Eliminate Most
Formidable Barrier

Much to the surprise OF the Russian
commissioners, and to everybody. for
that matter, who has followed closely
the negotiations at the Russian-Jap-
anese peace conference, now in session
at Portsmouth, n. H.. the Japanese
commissioners at the meeting held on
August goth, withdrew the demands of
Japan for compensati ton in any form
of the northern half of the island OF
Sakhalin. now in the hands of the Japs.
The action of the Japanese came quite
Unexpectedly and took the Russians
entirely by surprise. All the other
matters in controversy had previously
been agreed to by Russia and nothing
of any great consequence remained as
a subject of negotiation. NJ. Witte,
head of the Russian commission, had
previously issued an ultimatum on be-
half of Emperor Nicholas positively re-
fusing indemnity or the cesSion of more
territory. The withdrawal OF all fur
ther demands by Japan makes the fu
mere matter of detail. Work has al
ready begun on the draft of peace
treaty which is in the hands of attOr-
neys representing the two governments.
When the legal phrasiology of the
agreement has been arranged the COM
mission will likely hold it's final meet
ing and peace will be an assured fact.
The unexpected magnanimity of Jap
an has caused much surprise and there
are those prominent in the negotiations
who are still skeptical and will not be
satisfied that success has really crown
ed the efforts Of President Roosevelt
until the treaty is actually signed. The
situation is best illustrated in the fol-
lowing dispatch from oyster Bay:

HOW TO CRACK THE CRIB.
Statesman Reporter Gives RamIes q
Tip on the New Treasury Safe.

Would you like to rob the safe that
rests SO snugly in the vault in the
office of State Treasurer Coffin when
II has about half a million dollars in
1t? Here's the way:
First pry of the door to the vault
The door. with the entrance that would
have come of with it. weighs only
about seven or eight thousand pounds.
II Is equipped with series Of COM
binations and fortified by heavy bars
connected with a pushing wheel. The
entire construction IL Of chrome steel,
impervious to acid. It could hardly
be dented with chilled steel pick
After having removed the door the safe
will be found in the corner Of the vault
"a steel-fioOred. steel-roofed and
steel-plastered room.
In case 1t should be deemed inad-
visable to remove the front door the
vault casing might be cut into with
pocket knife. It is only about half an
inch thick.
The safe weighs only $4,000 pounds.
BY tossing it into the main office It
would be easier opened. II Is Of man.
ganese steel. so hard the sharpest file
cannot touch it.
Don't waste your time filing. Shove
some dynamite in the door space. That
would be easy. The door fits 50 closely
1t is difficult to find the line Of de-
narration between it and the lam"
when the door is closed. A hair placed
IN the opening would be crushed when
the door closed.
II dynamite is not available 1t would
be but the work Of moment to break
the door open with a crowbar, The
door is only about a foot thick and not
one OF the protuberances, half an inch
square. on which the four combination
indicators turn, could be broken Off is
hammered at all day with a 12-pound
siedge. After having opened the safe

AUTOISTS WILL
GATHER TONIGHT

The meeting of automobilists which
was to have been held last night at
the Young Hotel roof garden was post
poned until this evening on account
of several other meetings being ar
ranged for last night.
All automobile owners and those in
terested in the sport are asked to be
present at this evenings meeting when
steps will be taken toward organizing
an automobile club along the lines of
those existing in mainland cities.
There is no doubt that an automo-
bile club would be able to do much eX-
celIent work in the cause of good roads
and that the sport of autOmobiling
would be vastly benefited by the ex-
istence of such a club.
Other subjects to be discussed are
the formation of a roster of the various
machines in the Territory and the pro-
posed floral automobile parade. plan
ned to take place on February -.

he figured in the nomination of the late
his breeders. Messrs. T. and :. MOrrin.
In his work Trenton had been SO de-
cisively dressed down by his stable
mates. WOOdnymph, Gardiner. and
Krupp, that it was considered he had
no chance for the Welcome Stakes, and
Mr.. Morrin had fully decided to scratch
him for that event But. 10. on the
eve of the battle, school of bees came
to "BurwoOd,' and remembering that
such an invasion was invariably re-
garded by the ancientS as an omen of
good luck, Mrs. Morrin appraised the
head of the household of the fact, adj
visng that Trenton should be started.
The solicitations by Mrs. Morrin in
favor of Trenton being allowed to
carry the amber and black banner
proved successful; and the colt won
from his more fancied stable-mateS.
That Trenton would have remained in
his box on that memorable November
afternoon had it not been for the bee
visitation is pretty certain; and to the
happy Interpretation placed upon the
invasion of the little winged toilers by
Mrs. Morrin may be ascribed the initial
victory that went down to the credit
of Frailty's beautiful son.

decided to take 81 ems TO arrange for re-
