Petitions for Roads.

A petition has been filed with the
county court for road to the reser-
voir site and to A. C. Crawford's place,
distance of eight miles. This new
road will shorten the distance consid-
erahly. Another road will be petition
ed for, which will run on the south
side as at present. This will shorten
the distance, and will not be as dan
gerous as the present road, which is
very near the railroad track.

Point Lost by Hermann.

The argument in the Herm mn case

destroyed and alluded to in ths indict-

The Government briefly contented
that the indictment sufficiently ch srged

mercial and Religious Affairs.

San Francisco, March 9 There will
be 10 war between the United States
and China" said Major Henry
G. Co'bin, npon his arrival from the
Orient on the steamer Korea yeste day.
80 far as have been able to observe,
the reported disturb .nces in China have
been grossly exagg2ra ed, AID condl
tions are not nearl ly SO alarming 8 one
would be led TO suppose from reports
that have been publishe abroad
throughout the Western w1rld. That
there have been disturbances is qnite
true, but l do not think they menace
the peace OF China with the unted
States, or any other nation
The feeling agAlnst Americans in
China d es not xceed that entertained
toward all other foreigners, cnd, as
understand the situation, the entire
4ntiioreign feeling is due in q large
measure to the eXrl >tation OF business
enterprises, which the Chinese feel
should be controlled by their own
people. There is o feeling against those
aho have in various way, obtain I'd, ,
tn ongh scheming and corrupt Off ial',
franchises and concessions abrogated
and vested in their own people.
They are willing to r. fuId to foreign
;pynsforS tho fbn q fa- in
he county. In fact this was done III
the case OF the Nansow & Canton Rail
rosd.
aside from this chief source of anti
foreign feeling, the troubles in China
are due to the presence of missionaris S
[ was a sufed BE- very prominent
Chinese that the Chinese people are not
All friendly TO the presence OF foreig
missionaries. They resent the fforts
Of the missionaries to force lot Of new
creeds on their people. The Chinese
have perhaps a more firmly fixed ieligi-
Gus belief than any other people in the
NO Id. and they look upon the re ig.ons
of the western world WI, n Scant 1aVOr
TIE Chinese government is a.
friendly to the people and Government
of the United States as toward any
other. although nothing has a greater
tendency to strain them than the
fr quent publication OF false reports and
thrt atened armed inyasions. Although
not encouraged by the Government in
any aay, these reports constitute
grave menace to the continuance Of good
relations between the Chinese and
Americans. for these misleading reports
bv means of the native press are ci'cu-
lated broadcast throughout the empire,
and find ready credence among the
masses"

such that, if he were candidate. he

LEASING LAND.
Texes and Wyoming Giving Les
sons In New Plan.

Washington, D. G. March IA Two
examples of range leasing in this coun.
try, which are being given unusual at
ten,ion Just now, are Texas and Wyom-
ing. They are brought under the lime
light by general developments regard
ng lease of western range lan's yet
owned by the Government. Represent
ing two distinct regions, where s. ock in
terests vary in proportion to the agricul-
'ural, they have espec;al interest, and
will be studled more exclusively in
The rext year or two.
Texas is peculiar among all later &C
qni-itions OF territory by this govern
ment. in that it entered the Union with
fully organic ID state government,
which WAS recognized and treated with
Texas owned her own public domain.
Grants were made for educational and
other Purposes. mainly the former. AL
Of the land evaila BILE in the state for
leasing now belongs to the public
5CiOO 3 anu III tlOI CuuC ftlOndI lubtl u
tons. But in the banding of this
range leasing has ben practiced for
several years with a measure of sue
cess that commands the praise of stock
interests. Leases are for low figures,
the lands bringing frc M five to eight
cents an ac,e annually. As some of the
school grants were IN large blocks,
range lease's may acquire considerable
areas for stock raising.
In Wyoming the schou! lands only
are leased, and as the major portion Of
the grant to the state there was in the
10th and 36th sections of each township,
there Is less opportunity for large
book of gr,zing land under one lease.
A portion of the school land having
been selected, is in large tracts than
single sections, and this is often let in
one large range. But despite the diifi-
Guilty for extensive leases, s'ockmen of
Wyoming profess Loyalty to the leasing
principle as illustrated there. Where
leases are gran ed, the Stockmen assert
that there is far bitter control of the
range, absence of overstocking, no
range wars and security to the prop
erty owner which approaches close to
private ownership of the. land.
There has been other experiments in
range leasing on more limited scale,
which has not been used co much in
evidence by the range leasing cham
pions. Cattle interests are being con-
verted rapidly 10 the policy and would |
pro badly now be near a unit for it, were |
t made an issue. Sheep men are more |
livided, but are also found to be lean
ng in that direction, and are expected
)v administration forces to be aligned
or the cause whenever it is up for de-
ermination in congress.

Pacific Monthly for March.

The March issue of The Pacific Month
ly represents un unusual diversity Of
interest.
Wallis Nash has written tory while h
must appeal to every man west OF the
Rock les. story OF the sheep and cattle.
OF the broad stretches OF forest and the
warfare which exists over these possess
ions. He also tells about the action TAX
en- by President Roosevelt in the estab-
lishment of Forestry Department ami
of the great Stock Congress which took
pace in Wal Walla, Washington last
December.
Two other stories OF intere st are, "Hhe
Future OF Hose Racing" by William &
McRaa, and The Wreck OF the Va en-
cia," told for the first time IN magazine
form by Clarence II Baily.
La this issue there are ths usual num-
Der of good stories, most striking of
these be Dg tht written by Ma'ahal
Douglas and Rea l,vin, illustrated by
the authors. This story, The Triumph
OF Mr.. Montague, Is full OF the spr t
aud fun that attaches Itself to the yarns
OF the highly self esteemed actor unap-
preciated by IT, ge eral public.
Rose Eytiuge. the we'll known actress
tells of one Of the experiences OF her
broad career. In "The Whirigig OF
Tins" she relates the story of man
now high in the councils of Russia,
whom she found thinning lamps in a
