And Contract Cannot Be Let
Next Saturday.
City Solicitor Campbell Finds That
Courts Must Be Changed or
Right Secured.
WILL CONSIDER 1T MONDAY

Advertisements for bids on the
sewer extension have been held up
indefinitely. pending a question az
to right OF way, which can not be
settled until Engineer Alvord comes
from Chicago Monday.
When City Solicitor Campbell was
preparing the ordinance for the sew
er work this morning. using the
plans in City Engineer Washington's
Office to aid him, he discovered that
the sewer route traverses the prop
erty OF several citizens.
This discovery put an end to his
labors. He Immediately called into
consultation Mayor Yeiser and other
city officials and explained to them
that the city cannot construct the
sewer until It has secured consent
OF the property owners TO the use OF
their land.
Two plans are open to the city. II
can condemn the right of way or
secure grants from the property
owners or confne the extension at
present to that part of the district
that can be reached without going
onto private properly.
The latter plan is advocated by
City Solicitor Campbell. and he sug-
gested that nothing further be done
until Monday when Engineer Alvord
can see the plans, and possibly re-
arrange them so as to Keep on pri-
vate properly, at least. out Broad
way where the school building is TO
be reached.
To await untll rights of way can
be secured or condemnation proceed
lngs prosecuted would. defer the
work indefinitely. The bids were to
be opened next Saturday, but this Is
impossible now. and the new al.
refreshments will have to name a la
ter date.

LOOKS SQUALLY
IN THE FAR EAST
Russian Officer Says Japan
Seeks War.
Island Empire Wants Vladivostok
and Needs Only Excuse 90 Re-
new Hostilities.
EUROPE SHOULD TAKE A HAND

st. Petersburg. August Is A
general who ranks next to General
Grodekoff and who will probably
succeed him as commander in Man
churia has just arrived in st. Peters
burg with the latest news from the
far east Speaking to your cores
pendent today he said:
Japan wants Vladlvostok and the
Amur region. and, believing the pre-
sent moment suspicious on account
OF our internal trouble, may open
hostillties next winter, the provi-
sions OF the Portsmouth treaty CIV
ing plenty OF excuses. The most I'm
portant points in controversy are the
fishing rights in the Sungari anu
Amur rivers. the Manchuriaa from
tier customs and the Russian com
mercial rights In Manchuria and Ko-
rea. which were left undecided. The
more We yield. the more the Japa-
nese demand.
Their insolence has reached a
high degree. Japanese armed militia
ry engineers are openly sketching
the Vladivostok Notifications. while
the japanese living in Vladivostok
and the Amur country ignore the
Russian authorities.
Japan purposely declined TO per-
init outsiders having anything to 90
with the Portsmouth treaty, which
was therefore unwitnesses, uncerti-.
fed and unguaranteed. Our presence
on the Amur and in viadiyostoK
forces the Mlkado to maintain an ar
my and feet there, tying his hanis
so that he is compelled meekly TO
accept such incident as the killing
OF seal poachers by the Americans
This is the secret OF Japan's anxiety
to drive us beyond the Amur, there
by gaining a province and freedom
OF action.
1--WE believe that America and
countries of Europe having inter
ests in the far east should guarantee
the status quo.
