Increase Room For the Schools.

To relieve the congested condition
of the Columbia and Barge schools
the school board Monday morning
decided to secure quarters in the
old Methodist church on North Sec

Dunkard church on North Ahtanum

be.
Each of the buildings VIII hold
abt9t 100 pupils. The Barge school
nov has an enrolment of about SEQ
and the Columbia school of aoout
500, making it very inconvenient to
carry on the work in the present
buildings.

1t will be probably three stories in
height and will be modern in every
respect. Up to this time the brewery
has been buying all of the malt used
but hereafter will manufacture it's
own. with the addition of malt pro-
ducts which will be placed on sale.
The present plan is to start work
on new brewery building proper
next summer. 1t will be one of the
largest in the northwest. the output
of the local brewery now being far
below demands. The company is
many carloads behind its orders this
summer and has practically no room
to expand.

enough has been acknowledged so
that is can positively be stated the
ne wbrewery to go up next summer
will be almost equal to the large
plants on the sound.
The present quarters adjoining the
city hall have rapidly become too
small for handling the products, Yak
ina beer being sold in cities as far
east as Ritzville and as far west as
the sound. The demand is far be-
yond the anticipations of the incor-
porators of the company.
The new land acquired also gives
the brewery ample room for a large
icing plant, which will be one of the
best in the state.

Perhaps the most important prin-
ciple involved in the care of a child

growth takes all their strength and
their little bodies are not receiving
sufficient nourishment to make them
well, strong and robust.
We want to say to the parents of all
such children in North Yakima that

He announced today bis plan to obtain

when the strike ends there would be no
men to go back to the telegraph COM

This plan did not Brighten the mana

officials are silent concerning the incl
dent, but men unconnected with the
civil and military branches of the insular
government openly express the fear that
the step is bat the first ofs contemplated
series of aggressive movements against
the United States colonial interest in the
Orient. Americans generally agree that
the island is part of the Philippine
group, and that the japanese claim that
it does not belong to the Archipelago
because north of the twentieth parallel is
a mere pretext. Hopes are still expressed
that the Mikado's government will repu-
diate the seizure, which was not by &C.
credited representatives OF the govern
ment, but by an exploring party from
Formoss. Though the island is small
and uninhabited, it is believed here to

defenceless Jews is in full progress again
today. Hebrews are being hunted down
everywhere. Shots are heard continu-
ally and, undeterrtd by the police, who
have given the jewbsiters free reign, the
massacre is proceeding unchecked.
Almost with the return OF daylight
the attack was resumed. Small bands
Of desperadoes began the ASSAULT. In
one or two instances resistance was offer
ed by Jews coDgregated III the houses
attacked. A shot or two was fired from
one house, and this was the signal for
hordes of the Black Hundreds to rush to
the attack.
Mobs marched through the streets iii
ing at random through the windows
and doors. Any Jewish face at win
dow Immediately became target.
A reign of terror prevails. Jews who
can slip out Of their homes unobserved
are fleeing to the country. Hundreds
are reported TO have left over night.
Wild rumors are in circulation that SOL

work Of dominating Jews.

China and Japan.

Toxic, Sept. San absolute break
between China and Japan 10 the near
future is feared by japanese public
thinkers as consequence of the animos-
ity the Chinese government is manifest
ing toward her island neighbors. China
Is believed to be on the point of an anti
japanese crusade, and tho greatest in
dienation is manifested here at her
change Of front.
The conflicting claims of China aud
Japan to Khoto, or the Middle leland as
il is known, are in part responsible for
the i'll feeling between the nations. ia
pan has taken possession under the
claim of Corea To the disputed territory.
News that China has dispatched force
to seize the land has caused great con-
sternation here, as it is feared actual
fighting may follow.
The Chinese are also reported to be
excited because of the barring of Chinese
coolies from parts OF Japan. A party OF
| fifty Coolies was turned back from Kobe.
Chinese are inclined TO resent this. They
say Japan ought not to exclude any
Chinese from her territory 10 view of the
agitation she has INDUCED in against the
exclusion Of japanese coolies from the
United States.
japanese statesmen believe that II the
peace of the far East is to be maintain
cd, China mast be brought to see the
unreasouableness of her present stand.
1t is probable leading Japanese states
man will be sent to represent Japan in
China. Count Okuma is suggested for
the position.
Dispatches from Yokohoma indicate
that Japan is much excited over the
news that Viceroy Hui, of Manchuris,
has sent Chinese soldiers to dispute with
the Miksdo the title to The territory.
Though Korea long claimed sovereignty
over the region, the general opinion here
is that China had the better title. The
Chinese made no objection, however, to
the presence of Koreans as we'll as
Chinese troops in the disputed tract
before the Russo-J Japanese war. IL
agreed with Korea that it would be better
TO leave the territory to govern itself
when the war broke out, and both coun-
tries withdrew their officials.
Viceroy Hui seems only recently to
have learned that since Japan's virtual
annexation of Kores, Marquis Ito has
sent Col. Salto and small force OF
japanese troops 10 assume the admins
tratioD.
With japanese soldiers already in the
| disputed territory and Chinese troops
on their way, the chances for clash
are believed imminent.
The Middle Island population is esti-
mated at about 5000 Koreans and
400, 900 Chinese. The territory is rich
agriculturally and is said to have vast
mineral resources.

as she started upstairs. A moment later
there was a revolver shot, and she was
found unconscious in her room. She was
hurried to Pittsburg where it was said

assigned for the act is that she did not
want to 90 to school.
