Rumored Alliance,

Chicago, ILL.,, March ga dispatch
to the Tribune from Washington says:
Official and diplomatic Washington
is deeply interested in a report emanat.
ing from official sources that Japan
and Russia are paving the way to an
offensive and defensive alliance in
which Great Britain and France will
participate.
Great Diplomatic Coup.
If it be true, it will be the biggest
diplomatic coup which has occurred
since the alliance between England
and Japan, which made the R~usso-Jap-
anese war possible. For the recent en-
emies it will mean that the armed
truce, which now prevails, will give
way to permanent peace.
Possibility Of War.
The irritating attitude Of the Ameri-
can Pacific slope towards japan has
caused the statesmen of the mikado's
empire to reckon with a possibility of
the United States as an enemy, and to
deal firmly with this country it will be
necessary to convert Russia to her
friendship.

duces Pay 81 Per Day.
The government is still working a
large force on the Keno canal, and SO
far the stormy weather has not
caused a cessation of operations, says
a klamath Falls dispatch.
The plans of the engineers in
charge Of the work provide for a
large amount of canal construction
next summer. The amount of money
set aside for the klamath project
will enable the government to employ
a large number Of men next season,
IL the present wage scale is main
tanned. Two months ago the wages
on the government works were in
creased to SO for an eight-hour day;
recently a cut was made to $2.4S,
and now another cut has been made
to 81 per day, and men are turned
away every day.
The disturbed financial conditions
of the country have reached interior
Oregon, and the reduction in the
wages paid by the government is a
direct result. The Southern Pacific
has also withdrawn several survey
ing crews that were working in Lake
and klamath counties. The banks of
this city have not taken advantage of
the holidays, but It is impossible for
one to get money on outside checks.
Laboring men who have positions
with the government are standing
the reductions in wages and only
few have quit the job. and they are
readily replaced by others who are
willing to work for 80 per day.

Helpinr the Mail Order House.

A large number of people in Kan
sas and Missouri are making contri-
buttons for the construction OF a
nine-story building in Kansas City to
be occupied by mail order house.
No doubt Kansas City is glad to see
the building 60 up but the small
towns throughout the territory affect
ed by the mail order house are not so
glad.
Kansas City rejoices to see the in
crease in traffic which the mail order
house brings to it. The contributors
are pleased to think of the reduction
in freight resulting from having their
''house" brought from Chicago to
Kansas City, so much nearer. The
small towns will mourn to see their
citizens piling up brick in Kansas City
when the home town needs those
bricks so badly.
Every man who sends an order to
this house is making a contribution
to it. He is helping a few men to
pile up immense fortunes. Not only
this; but he is robbing the local dealer
Of what rightfully belongs to him-the
support Of his fellow-townsmen.
1t is claimed that goods ordered by
mail can be had for less money than
when bought at home. This would
be blessing to the needy family II
the statement were true; but the facts
show that goods from mail order
houses are not cheaper than those
bought at home. The quality is as
much cheaper than those bought at
home as the price is.
But suppose there could be a saving
Of cent and half on every dollar
on goods ordered rom "the city,
and suppose we should all take ad-
vantage Of the "blessing." What
would be the RESULT Our small
towns would be the crossing Of l7sSth
