And the folks were plunged In trouble

On the dear old farmhouse roof;

While he muttered: "Foiled again.

CHINESE ARE RESTLESS.
Ferment Of Political Excitement
Exists and Anti-FOreign senti-
ment Grows Stronger.

Pekin, Jan. 12.-Reports from the
south and from the Yangtse valley re-
Eion show the anti-foreign sentiment
to be very strong. China undoubtedly
Is in a ferment of political excitement
but the movement is directed as much
against the government as against the
foreigners.
The government is between two fires.
The young China party is clamoring
because reforms are being executed
too slowly while the conservatives
and the oflcials, the latter seeing their
Prerequisites threatened, are resisting
all efforts at reform.
In spite Of the protests Of foreigners
in Northern China the foreign minis
tiers have not changed their plan for
the withdrawal of foreign troops from
Chi Ii province, the only exceptions
being the legation guards. The min
listers believe that the Chinese govern
ment is both able and determined tc
protect foreigners in the event OF
revolution.

GREAT DIVERSITY OF INTERESTS.
Federal Government Has Many Enterprises i'm the
Black Hills District-National Sanitarlum

The federal government has sur
prisingly great number Of interests
and undertakings on foot at present in
the Black Hills. It is not an exagger-
alton to say that there Is no other sec
ton in the United States of equal size
where the government is engaged in
so many and such various enterprises,
rs no other section 100 miles long and
forty miles wide offers such variety
Of practical interests.
In Butte county the government is
engaged on a gigantic irrigation pro-
ject which will require several years
for completion and will cost in the
neighborhood of $2,600.0O0. This was
undertaken because the country need
ed nothing but water in order to make
1t very productive and valuable both
to the agriculturist and to the stock
men who did not turn his stock out on
the range. 1t is estimated that 100000
acres of semi-arid land will be thus re-
claimed.
Recognizing also the Importance Of
the Black Hills from a mineral stand
point the government has established
at Deadwood United States assay
Office through which passes a large
portion OF the gold mined in the Black
Hills. A bill is now pending in con-
gress for the establishment Of mining
experimental stations in the different
mining districts. This bill has been
reported favorably and IL 1t is passed,
which now looks probable, will result
In the establishment of such a station
In the black Hills.
Looking towards the interests OF the
sportsmen and also noting the advan-
tages of the Black Hills, United
States fish hatchery has been located
at Spearfish. Trout is the sole fish
handled and about 100000 are plant
ed yearly. This hatchery supplies
not only the Black Hills streams, but
also all parts of the world The year
ly shipments has reached as high as
s3,000,000. some of which have been
sent as far as Wales.
