A scheme is on foot for creating a Japanese agricultural colony in the heart of Alberta, Canada, which shows that the wide-awake Jap is up to the times and will after this have to be reckoned with by nations. We'll to-do Japanese farmers are to be ta- ken out, according to the propect, and they will turn their attention to the raising of wheat and the cultivation of sugar beet and anything else which will thrive in the climate. The nec- essary negotiations are being carried out by E. k. Nagatany, who repre- sents a group of capitalists, and his proposal is to purchase tract of 5O,OOO acres from the Canadian Paci- fic railway. Mir Nagatany has al- ready spent four years in Canada in the study of the conditions there, and if he is able to carry his scheme to success he intends to return to the Dominion in the autumn to complete the arrangements.

SATURDAY, FEB 2s, 1907.

Leaders of congress do not expect any favorable legislation at this ses- sion on the demands of the prohibi- tionists for prohibition for the Dis trict of Columbia. says a Washington writer. No favorable legislation Is looked for in the next, or even the one after the next, congress, but it is admitted that the prohibitionists pro- pose to bring the question before every congress for years to come and press it harder each time. They have been becoming bolder and bolder in each congress for the last few years, ever since the repeal of the canteen law for the army, and they propose to bring all the pressure possible to secure further laws, having learned the cowardice of congress on these questions.

The final arguments for the cleo trification of a steam railroad are re- duction in operation costs, and in- crease of earning capacity of the present tracks, says writer in the Engineering Magazine. There are, of course, several incidental advan- tages accruing from the use of cleo tricity as motive power which are of considerable importance, although it is difficult to evaluate them in dollars and cents. In this category We may include three: First. the smaller wear and tear on the tracks, struc- lures and road bed, due to the ab- sence of the lateral swaying and yer tical hammering caused by partially reciprocating parts of the steam To- comotive. Second, the elimination of smoke, under certain conditions, such as those from the New York Central tunnel approach to the New York terminus, is a very compelling argument, and further reduces the maintenance of the rolling stock by making the necessity of car body painting and cleaning less frequent. Third, the greater facility of train movement, which results from the simplicity of control; the greater readiness for service-no time need be consumed in getting up steam, taking coal or cleaning fires, and a greater factor of reliability in the To- comotive unit, by the elimination of fire, boiler, high pressure steam pipes, etc.

 The United States can raise about everything it needs. X camphor farm is to be established near Floresville, Texas, under the auspices of the bu- reau of plant industry of the United States department of agriculture. The government has already large ex- perimental farm in operation near Wharton. Texas. It is believed that the new industry has wonderful pos abilities, and that the time is not far distant when the state of Texas will be one of the greatest camphor pro- ducing regions of the world.
 A situation has developed in Butte, Mont. which is causing serious con- cern to the officials of the postoifice department. The letter carrier fOrce number 20, has rendered It's resigna- tion to take effect March 1 unless bet ter salaries are offered them. In the present circumstances the postOffice department is powerless to remedy the difficulty, because the highst sal ary which can be paid letter carriers at Butte is $S50 year. This looks as if congress must take immediate action, or Butte will lose its carriers.
 Connecticut is one of the few states-but six it is said that do not impose a license tax on hunters.

Similar laws have been favorably reported in Maine and New Hampshire and seem to us eminently fair except perhaps the increase of the license to aliens. The money from these licenss is to be used for the maintenance of wardens and the prosecution of the game laws. i Farmer.

pears While In Chase of Whale.
 AMAGANSETT. N. Y., Feb. 23.- Sho:sward folk at this place are in. tensely excited over the appearance of a whale and the disappearance of a crew of the life saving station. Some fear is entertained that the crew may have disappeared in the whale which it went out to capture, but the captain of the station is confident that his men are safe.
 The whale first appeared mile of shore, spouting. Its geysers first bore the semblance of waterspout, but binoculars revealed a great wallowinc leviathan. It dived at intervals of twu and three minutes, alternately emerg ing its mammoth head with yawnlng jaws. Every time the jaws opened, ac cording to Captain Sparks of the coast guard, there could be plainly seen q great cavelike maw.
 Captain Sparks reckoned some hun. dred barrels of oil and whalebone suf. flcient to keep corset factory going for year. This speculation fired the men of the life saving station with lust for the whale hunt, and a party was speedily dispatched in chase.
 Three big whales ran afoul of the veteran Amagansett whalers here, with the result that two seventy Hooters, after desperate fight, were killed and beached, and a third, mortally wound. ed, splurged out to sea after all but wrecking the boat of the fishermen who wounded him.

 MANAGUA, Nicaragua. Feb. 23.-It is reported here that Honduras has formally declared war against Nicara. qua and that President Bonilla at the head of force of Honduran troops is marching on the frontier of Nicaragua
 News of battle between the two forces is momentarily expected. It is reported that Salvador will be involved
 Nicaraguan forces captured without opposition the town of Fl Truinfo. in Honduras, and after six hours hard fighting the Nicaraguan army occupied San Bernardo. an excellent position owing to the fact that it is in com munication by land and water with the Nicaraguan base of operations. Many Hondurans were killed or wounded and the retreating army left quantities of ammunition and many rifles on the field. The casualties on the Nicara. guan side were a few men wounded.
 It Is asserted here that there is no truth in the reports that the Nicara. gIian army has met with reverses.

Speaking of the passage of the im-
 migration bill, a Washington critic
 has the following to say: It will be
 recalled that the provision forbid
 ding the sale of liquor in the Capitol
 was tackled on to the immigration
 act of March 3, 1903. as a rider. Con-
 gress had been beseiged by temper ance organizations of the country to enact such a law and, finally. this rider was attached to the immigra- tion measure as section 3i: That no intoxicating liquors of any char acter shall be sold within the limits of the Capitol building of the United States" In revamping the immigra- ton bill a few days ago. section 3i. here quoted. was stricken out and new section 34 was substituted for it providing for the appointment of a of immigration for the city of New Orleans. The striking out of the liquor provision consti- tuted a repeal of it. The conference report on the measure. containing the repeal. was adopted by both the senate and the house. and, in the will be signed by the president and thus become a law. When the signature of the president was attached to the bill. the law pre- venting the sale of liquor in the Cap ItOI building ceased to be.
