with the treatment of japanese in San

Intention to deal with the Californians
herself if the national government fails
ITO do so.
At the state department it is said
that the American public is fully
aware Of the nature of all the cX-
changes that have taken place on this
subject; that there has been no cor
rcspondencc of recent date and that
there are no negotiations in progress
between the two governments. This
Statement is fully confirmed at the Jap
yanese embassy where, moreover, it is
positively stated that Ambassador
Aoki is not going to Japan next fall as
was reported in Il japanese paper.
Prompt and emphatic was Ambas-
SadOr Aoki's denial of the story of his

BIG DELEGATION
FROM LEWISTON
MANAGER OF HARVEST CARNl.
VAL RETURNS WITH EN- :
coURAGINc REPORTS.

Manager X. Lee Bernard of the
Harvest Festival returned last night
from Lewiston where he went at the
request of the Commercial club of that
city to give them pointers on their fair
and to consult them On the matter OF
securing attractions for the two fairs
jointly.
Mr.. Bernard reports much interest
in the local festival all over the coun-
try where he has been and especially
in Lewiston. That city will be large
ly represented at the harvest festival
here. Besides those who would come
to the festival of their own accord
the fair association and the CONNER
cial club of that town will send a
delegation. This is for the purpose
fractions exhibited here.
The booth committee of the club re-
ports great success wherever they
have asked merchants for space in
front of their stores. At first the idea
was rot understood by the merchants
but as the committee explains the
matter all fall willingly into line. Many
of the stOrekeepers will purchase their
own space, some will use it for booths
and others will make other use of the
concessions which they are granting
the committee and then buying back
at a good figure.
Colors for the carnival have been
chosen. Blue, white and gold will be
the hues emblamatic of the harvest
festival This scheme of decoration
will be followed by the committee in
all the decorations and the electric
lights used in the decorations will be
cOlored in the above tints.
The committee of ladies having the
coronation and other events of carni-
val week in charge will soon have the
plans for the week entirely formulated
and by the time the contest for the
queen is ended the committee will be
ready for the finishing touches on the
work The Canton, in whose charge
the coronation is to be, have already
begun rehearsing and that there will
be no hitch in the ceremonies is as
sured by the length of time which
they will spend on it.
Main street will not be decorated
as was 1T first thought. However it
has been found that using both streets
will toe largely scatter the efforts, OF
the festival committees and it has
been decided that decorations will be
employed Gully on Alder De ween First
and Fourth streets.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 27.-In-
crease in pay of the army, but no in
crease in it's; :size is the compromise
which has been reached between the
president and leaders in congress who
control legislation. The president has
given, his hearty approval to the plans
of the general staff of the army which
is included both increases, but after
consultations and conferences, it has
been decided that it will be impOssi-
congress than to secure an increase
in pay for the army. Immediately upon
converting bills will be introduced in
the senate by Mr.. Dick, of Ohio, and
in thu house by Representative Ca
prom of Rhode Island. carrying out
the agreement which has been
reached.
These bills will provide for an in
crease of 10 per cent in the salary
of lieutenant general; Is per cent in
crease for majors and brigade geLer-
ais; 20 per cent for colonies, lieuten-
ant-colonels and majors; 25 per cent
increase for captains and lieutenants
and 80 per cent increase for nom
commissioned officers and privates. 1t
is thought that such a measure will
become law.
1t was desired by the war depart
inert officials that congress should
authorize an increase in the strength
of the army, not so much by in
creasing it's strength numerically at
this time, but by providing for creation
of new regiments to be given skeleton
organization in time of peace. There
was also comprehensive plans for
Increasing the artillery and engineer
corps by giving each regiment three
inch guns and for other improvements
to increase the effectiveness of the
army, but at present it seems that all
these must be indefinitely postponed
At least nothing along this line will be
done at the next session of congress.

DOES NOT LIKE
SMELL Of HIDES
INSPECTOR GATES GETS BUSY
WITH CAUSES OF FOUL
DOOR,

If you have green hides hanging
about your office, store, or front porch,
you had better look out, or SAM
tary Inspector Gates will get you.
Green does not refer to the color.
1t refers to the smell.
M. Shank, junk dealdr of East
Main street, was 'pinched' this morn
ing because he had some green hides
in his store. Mr.. Health Inspector
went into Shank's place of business
for something and smelt the hides
1t would be wrong to say his olfac-
tory senses were assailed by the odor.
They were stampeded. So was the
health inspector. He fled from the
! store and telephoned Mr.. Shanks that
he wished an audience. Then he and
Mr.. Shanks strolled down to the
courthouse where said Shanks deposit
ed a bond with ]. J. Huffman, who pre-
sizes at the daily police court.
Shanks promised to call this after
! noon and talk the matter over with
Mr.. Huffman.
The health inspector. however. is not
the only one with a delicate sense of
smell.
1 c. w. Neimyer, a prominent fruit
peddler, also knows he has a nose.
Mr.. Neimyer was made aware of the
| fact the other morning when a man
| who had a nose and knew it, hauled
the remains of a deceased horse past
| Mr.. Neimyer's home. There was no
| canvass over the body of the de-
ceased to protect it from the flies or
| to protect residents of the neighbor-
| hood from the odOr of decomposition
, which followed in the wake of the cor
| tere
! The feature of the affair which Mr.
Neimeyer most regrets is that he
had just partaken of a hearty break
| fast.
Mr. Neimeyer rises to move that
! hereafter a canvass be placed over the
bodies of dead animals while same are
enroute through the city on their last
sad journey.
