READY TO SETTLE.
DAILY Estate Negotiating With Govern
ment for Terms.

Washington, Dec 4 4.-Word has beer
received by the Land department here
that the estate OF Marcus DAILY has
offered to settle the now famous timber
cutting suit begun against it years age
by the payment OF $50, 600. \ spe-
cial agent of the department OF Justice
has been sent TO Helena, Mont, with a
view of negotiating with the attorneys
OF the Dal y estate, and the prospect is
that settlement will be reached.
The suit against the estate is for
damages amounting to $l,35O, 900.
The case is OF vast importance to the
government, in view OF the fact that it
is the first OF many timber claim suits
which will be filed to obtain damages
for unlawful defamation OF the timber
OF the West, which has been going on
for the last decade or more. The sue
cess OF the government in the DAILY
case undoubtedly will have the effect
Of inducing other perpetrators of timber
frauds TO seek settlement.

RELATIONS ACUTE.
Japanese Government Asks Too Much
for Her Subjects

Washington, Dec. s. The relations
between the United States and Japan
as a result of the attitude of the japan
ese government toward the California
authorities in school matters have be-
come acute. An erroneous impression
as to the presidents position has been
widely circulated.
The president absolutely concurs
with the opinion Of Secretary Metcalf
that the japanese have no cause for
grievance and that no treaty right has
been infringed. At the outset the pres
ident took the stand that treaties SUI
perSeded all state and other laws. Now
he is convinced that, in giving the Jap
anese students equal educational rights
while separating them from other
schools, all has been done that is ne
cessary.
Outside OF racial differences, there is
another reason for segregation, and
that is that many OF the japanese stu
dents are adults The president will
stand strictly upon treaty agreements,
but he thinks too much is being asked
by the Japanese government. It is
known that the president feels that the
Japanese, with an enormous personal
:onceit and tremendous personal ego |
tism, are trying to impose upon the |
people of San Francisco and the Pacific |

ANNUAL RIVER AND HARBOR BILL
National Rivers and Harbors Congress
Calls for 100000 Yearly.

The national government, for tn,
past ten years, has provided, for the
benefit of commerce and agriculture
from which is derived its entire reve
nue., less than 3 per cent OF the total tC
improve our natural and economic
highways-rivers and harbors.
At this rate, the amounts received by
the greatest natural highway OF the
West, the Columbia river, for the
deepening of its mouth, would be sc
small that each years work would be
carried away by storms before the next
appropriation would be available. The
Iamounts allowed for the last twenty
Years have to great extent been vast
ed in this manner, because no one APP
preparation was sufficient to complete
the project, and money which, spread
out over a great many years was almost
useless, would have given the great
highway of Oregon, Washington and
l't'li', IL ttl'l'Iol l'ttNN o' 'liN tlillN, q
forty foot channel at its mouth.
However, even with the fifty million
dollars annual pprOpriation,. which
they are striving for, and will get, our
proportion, considering present APP
proved and meritOrious subjects, would
be insufficient to carry on the work at
the mouth of the Columbia properly.
For this reason, it is understood, there
will be bill introduced at the coming
state legislature of Oregon to create
taxing district; issue 20 and 40 year
bonds and 90 before congress with an
offer of one million dollars if the gem
eral government will add to it sufficient
to complete the entire project for the
Improvement of the mouth OF the Co
lumbia, or, if they will put such inn
prOvement on Il continuing contract
basis.
Congress has shown a disposition to
help the localities that help them |
selves, as in the case OF Philadelphia,
which appropriated 100000 for its
harbor, and congress shortly afterward |
added the necessary sum for the COM
pletion of the project, Oregon and |
cannot show the trade as
yet that merits and gets large appro-
priations, and there semes to be no
reason why they should not accelerate
the improvement of their rivers and
larbors in the above manner, particu-
arly as our harbors shuold be made
better at once to get and hold a great
md growing Oriental trade, and our
liver improved to lower our present
lgh railroad rates. There seems also (
o be no good reasoon why posterity {
hould not bear part OF the burden
n the way Of long term bonds, as they
ct the great benefit.
