Dear Sir: Todd & Downing, con-

La, have painted Devoee for or 4
wears. They say it takes less gallons
Devoe than of any other paint they
have used. That means that a job costs
less with Devoe; not only for paint,
for labor as we'll.
They paint nothing else, Devoe ex'
clusively. 49,. 4ho
They have said nothing about the
comparative wear of Devoe and others
oversight, may be; perhaps too soor
for that. But Devoe is the stronges,
paint; that's why least gallons; besl
wear. same reason. Least cost an'
longest time between jobs.

MAY BE INDEMNITY TO PAY.
Expulsion of Sikhs From BelIinghan
May Stir Up Ugly Mess.

Washington, Sept. S.-While no in.
formation of an official character has
reached the state department concern
from Bellingham. Wash, it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that if the facts were
as reported in the press Ambassador
Brice will soon be heard from. The
British government takes pride in
protecting the lives and property of
its subjects. SO 1t is expected that as
o o as the British consular officer
who is reported to be looking into the
matter has completed his investisa.
ton and communicated with the Brit
ish embassy formal complaint will be
lodged with the state department.
Is Embarrassing.
The state department is always en-
barrassed in dealing with incidents of
this character. owing to the fact that
the national government has no au.
thority to enter q state even to pro-
tect foreigners Treaty rights. All
that the state department can do in
such a case is to address the governor
Of Washington, transmitting perhaps
the complaint of the British embassy,
if there should be one, and requesting
him to take steps to prevent a recur.
renee of the trouble. Probably in the
end claims for damages sustained by
the individuals will be preferred.
May Bring Civil Actions.
If the aggrieved individuals care to
do so, they may bring civil actions
against the municipal authorities at
B%allingham in the local courts, just as
the Japanese restaurant and bath
house keepers have done in San Fran
cisco, and undoubtedly the state de,
partment would very much prefer that
this course be followed. If, however,
it should be found impossible to Sc.
cure justice at the hands of the local
judiciary, then, as was done in the
case of the murderous attacks upon
the Italians in New Orleans some
years ago, the executive will recon-
mend to congress that indemnities be
paid to the victims.

FARMERS IN STRONG UNION.
Form Society to Establish co-opera
tive Markets in Cities.

Chicago, Sept. S.-Plans to organize
the farmers of the country in a coop
erative movement similar to the Roch-
dale plan in Great Britain were per-
fected at a conference Of farmers held
in the Briggs house. Leaders of the
movement are officers of the American
Society OK Equity, better known as the
farmers union, and the e organiza-
ton promises to supplant the old.
Already 800, 900 farmers are pledged
to the new organization, according to
its sponsors, and it is probable that
Chicago will become the central mar
ket and headquarters.
The society is incorporated under
the laws of New Jersey. 1t proposeg
to establish markets in every city in
the country for the distribution of
farm products on the cooperative
plan.
The officers of the organization are:
Treasurer, Thomas Emmerton of Wis.
o%onsin; board of directors, N. C.
c. Crawford and S. d. Kump of Wis
%consin, Erwin Ball of Michigan, T. 8.

CLIFF HOUSE RAzED BY FIRE.
World-Famous San Francisco Resort
Now Lies in Ruins.

San Francisco, Sept. 1O.-The world
famous Cliff house, OF the ocean
beach, was totally destroyed by fire
Saturday evening. The big resort,
resting O the high rocks almost at
the entrance of the Golden Gate, had
been closed for some time undergo
ing elaborate alterations, and was to
have been reopened Oct. ! under a
new management as one of the finest
restaurants in the world.
The alterations had been completed
and the building stood ready to re
ceiye the new furniture.
The remoteness Of fire apparatus
and the position of the building OF the
hill made it difficult to fight the flames
which made great Roadway in the
strong wind blowing at the time. The
fire department, realizing that it
would be futile to attempt to save any
part of the Cliff house, concentrated
it's efforts on the Sutro baths adjoin-
ing. These were saved after a hard
fight.
How the fire started is a mystery.

Jap COOLIES STILL POURING IN
HUNDREDS ARE GETTING INTO
THE COUNTRY BY HOOK AND
CROOK.

Washington, Sept. 10. - Persistent
trouble in preventing japanese coolies
from getting into the United States
across the Mexican border is worry
ing the bureau of immigration and
giving the administration muck con.
Germ.
The passport arrangement for the
prevention of the admission Of Japa-
nese laborers made last winter is OF
little efficiency, and by hook and
crook hundreds of japanese are get.
ting into the country.
Guard the Border.
Commissioner General Sargent of
the bureau OF immigration has hit
upon the plan Of placing a chain of
mounted inspectors along the Mexi-
IAN border from the Pacific to Browns
vile. Orders to this effect have been
given.
1t is not known how many mounted
guards will be necessary, but the in
spectors in charge along the frontier
will be allowed to utilize enough to
make the scheme effective.
1t is suggested that se%venty-fve
guards will be able to prevent the
Japanese and Chinese from smuggling
their way through.
Japan Bars Coolies.
Officials here are pleased over the
news from Japan that that country is
driving out and excluding Chinese
coolies. Japan, it is said, is doing
just what she is finding fault with the
United States for wanting to do, and
this fact will place the state depart
ment in better position to conduct ne
gotiations with reference to exclusion.
