COMMERCIAL DISHONESTY.
an ACKNOWLEDGED TRAIT OF
JAPANESE MERCHANTS.
They Have No Regard For a Con-
tract Striking Contrast With
Chinese Traders.

With the treaty of peace, japan has
seen the accomplishment of a task
that has been the ambition of the en-
pire-to hold front rank in the fam
lily of nations. This has been brought
about through such military achieve
ments as have evoked the admiration
of the civilized powers, but o it
seems that Japan has still before her
a problem which a harder work
and a greater task than that which
she had before the commencement of
the Russian-Japanese war.
That task, is to redeem the CONNER
cial reputation of her traders, a repu-
tation which is not enyiable. Joseph
Walton, a member of the English par
lament, a man who has spent much
time in travel and knows the people of
the East thoroughly, says in his book
on the Orient:
Japanese traders are not special
~ distinguished for honesty, particu-
larry in their business relations with
foreigners. We have in this a most
striking proof that the character of
the people is largely formed by the
nature of their surroundings. Fol hun
dreds of years the trading class in
Japan has occupied a very low place
in the social scale. In the last thirty
years, since the feudal system has
peen abolished. the position of the
traders has greatly changed, and now
some of those who were mobiles are en-
gagged in trade; and l am told there
is reason to hope that shortly bust
ness affairs in Japan will be conducted
on more honest lines"

Peculiar Business Dishonesty.

The progress which the Japanese
have made in the past fifty years
shows them to be a people self
reliant and determined to keep on adj
vancing towards the highest plane at
tainable, yet travellers in the East
have been surprised that the traders
of the Occident are sc VIGOROUSLY dis
honest, for while the japanese are far
superior to the Chinese as regards
achievement of national strength and
perseverance, yet the reverse is true
in the matter of commercial honesty.
1t appears that the Japanese mer-
chants have no regard for a contract.
1t is said that the most prosperous
commercial houses of Japan are
aged not by Japanese but by Chinese.
The average Chinese merchant is high
" esteemed the world over for his hon.
esty; in fact a president of one of the
largest corporations of the United
States once said that he would not be
afraid to ship a barrel of gold coin to
a Chinese merchant with instructions
to make use of it in trade. but at the
end of the year he would receive a de-
tail statement of where every coin
went, but If this were done to a Jap
anese merchant, he would consider
himself lucky to get back the empty
barrel.
1t is believed that the hard task
accomplished by the Japanese in the
war just happily brought to an end
will be a beginning to bring out the
genius for which the Japanese have
been noted in wal TO n utilization of
peace and commercialism.

To Build a Huge Dam.

1t was the passage of the National
irrigation act which wrought a won
drous change in the conditions and
knit together in one brotherhood all the
citizens of the lower valley, .imbuing
them with a spirit OF cooperation and
enthusiasm. The Reclamation Service
took hold of the project and worked
out a plan to store the vast Rio Grande
floods which were annually a source
Of much loss to the valley and which
were wholly untitled. This plan the
people have accepted as a salvation.
One hundred miles above Ell Paso the
Rio Grande flows through a deep mar
row canyon. A dam 255 feet high
across its lower end will create the
largest artificial reservoir in this coun-
try. 1t will make a lake 40 miles long,
~ miles wide and from 100 to 175
feet deep. 1t will contain water enough
to cover 1000, 900 acres a foot deep.
Into this vast reservoir the greatest
flood the Rio Grande has ever known
will quickly disappear and later when
needed by 100000 thirsty acres in the
valley below will be released and led
through a net work of canals and
bitches through New Mexico into Tex
as, clear down into Old Mexico.

The Settlers Pay the Cost.

1t will cost millions to do this work,
81, 900 is the figure, but what OF
that? The settlers will gladly pay for
it. Under the magic of irrigation Me-
silla, La Palomas and Ell Paso val
leys, now only dotted here and there
with green verdure, will spring into
full fruitage, producing harvests unri-
vailed in quality and quantity. Ten
thousand new homes will over the
desert plain, and Ell Paso, the central
point for transportation and the great
est market in the valley, will wax into
a city of 100, 900 souls. Twenty thou
sand acres of irrigated land support a
splendid city now. What shall it be
when 200. 900 acres are added to the
crop producing area of FL Paso terri
tory?

Battlefield Runners Are Conflicting and
Very Meager.
SAY THE JAPS HAVE PAUSED.
The Main Forces Seemingly Are Not
in Collision. But 1t Is Said the Rus
sian Advance Lines Are Crossing
the Railroad.

st. Petersburg, June "a. = News
from the battlefield is exceedingly
meager. A press telegram of Tues
days date speaks of a rear guard &C
ton, and there are rumors in the city
that the Russian army is retreating;
but the latest dispatches received
from Lieutenant General Linevitch
bearing the same date, declared brief
ly that the Japanese advance had
paused. A dispatch from Gunshu
Pass of Wednesdays date says that
the operations of the Japanese ap-
parently ended after the last fight,
and they appeared to be merely clear
ing their immediate front
1t is probable that the Russian adj
vance lines are crossing the railroad
and will continue their retirement
hurriedly in order to avoid being
f1anked and pocketed until, the posi-
tions at Springhai are reached. The
main forces seemingly are not yet
in collision.
Colonel Lodygensky, one of the
Press, died at Hardin of blood pois-
oning.
Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, delayed
in transmission = The operations
of the Japanese during the last five
days, which at first were thought to
be portentous, apparently ended after
the last fight. The Japanese appear
to be merely clearing their imme-
date front.
There is now no reason for anv
further delay in beginning the great
battle, as the opposing armies are es-
sentially equal
The Russian troops are under the
impression that an advance is about
. to begin.
Washington.-In Official and diplo-
matte circles the return of the presi-
dent is awaited with great interest
because of the understanding that in
case there has been any new definite
step in the peace negotiations it
would be announced in a statement
from the White House.
Secretary Taft has a number of
kilograms from Toxic and ST. Peters
burg which he will take to the White
House tomorrow, and a conference on
the general situation and the outlook
for an armistice will follow. In the
absence of the president, Secretary
Hay has been in charge of the nego-
tiations, but all information on the
subject has been withheld at the state
department.
Despite their strong belief that it
would greatly further the cause of
peace if the belligerents would avoid
a clash between their armies pend
ing the Washington conference, the
president and Secretary Hay are
aware of the wish of the Japanese
that before asserting to an armistice
they receive more definite assurances
regarding Russia's intentions.
Count Cassini, the Russian ambas-
sador, announced at the time of the
appointment of Baron Rosen as his
successor that he would sail for
Europe soon after the arrival of
Baron Rosen, about July 5. Count
Cassinis plans have never been
changed since then. He has not yet
fixed finally the exact date for his
departure, but expects to get away
probably the week following Baron
Rosen's arrival, unless instructions
arrive in the meantime.

MoToRcYcLisT's RUBBER SUIT.

Automobiles Do.

Automobiles Do.
Nothing could be uglier or more
uncomfortable than the new rubber
suits worn this season by motor eye
lists" said a man who uses one, "but
we must wear them. A motor cycle
will kick up more dust and throw
more mud than a touring automobile,
and land it all squarely on the back
and shoulders of the man riding the
machine. The old style bicycle wasn't
in it by comparison. After a five
mile spin in the country on a motor
cycle a man looks as though he had
been dumped into a dust heap. If he
wears good clothes they are ruined,
and no man likes to ride around in
old clothes, particularly if he is going
to make a call, or take luncheon at
a hotel. We can't wear long coats,
as Automobiles do. So they have
put these rubber two-piece suits on
the market. They are not so heavy
as sailors oilskin sou'wester, but
they are just as effective in keeping
out the arm. Y. Press.

With some women the black velvet
bands fastened about their throats
may be symbolic of grief for the pass
ing of collars, but in most instances
these velvet circles are effective and
becoming. Therefore, of course, they
are in great favor. Many women pre-
fer colored ribbons to black, and the
bands must be of the exact shade of
the costume. The brooches with
which the ends of the ribbons are
fastened together may be elaborate
enough to suit any fancy. Mrs. Reg
maid Vanderbilt has two which she
picked up in an antique shop in Paris.
They are said to be 200 years old. Oh,

OF the CIVIL war time, which contains
pound or two of raw rice-sufficient to sus-
tain life and fighting strength for two or
three days. 1t can be cooked anywhere
that fire can be made and water OBJ
tanned, and. like bacon, is always palatable.
The newspapers have had a story that
Gen. Miles was going to Europe to advo-
cate the adoption of the rice ration by the
armies over there
Rice has been sold by the Louisiana mills
direct to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines, and strong effort is being
made to control the market of Cuba, which
consumes about $4,000 IONS a year. The
present supply comes from China and
Japan, and the Louisiana rice-growers want
to shut Asiatic rice out of the Cuban mar
ket under the terms of our reciprocity
treaty with Cuba, which is a singular COM
mentary on human nature. The sugar
growers of Louisiana consider that treaty
violation of their rights and their destruc-
ton, while the rice growers of the same
state consider it their salvation.
Secretary Wilson's Efforts.
Secretary Wilson, as I have said, has
been deeply interested in the Louisiana rice
movement and has done everything in his
power to promote it. But he is urging the
farmers down here not to devote their en-
tire attention to it. He is opposed to ''one-
crop farmers He believes in the old
proverb that warns people not to put all of
their eggs into one basket, and he is now
trying to discover some other crop which
is equally profitable and as well suited to
the soil and climate. Experiments are
being conducted under his direction at sew
eral of the government stations in the
south, and the agricultural experts of the
department are about convinced that the
greatest advantages can be derived by COM
bining rice with alfalfa or some other
fnra ant
south and the public generally consume
vast quantities of hay, which is shipped
from the northern states, and Secretary
Wilson believes that the rice farmers of the
Louisiana coast can supply the greater part
of this demand and thus protect them
selves from possible disaster.
