JAPAN READY FOR WAR.
Would Attack United States on South
With Big Army.


Mexico City, July l5.--Nine thou
sand veteran japanese soldiers are now
in Northwestern Mexico. They are sta
toned at points in the states of Sonora,
Sinoloa and Chihuahua. Each group
is commanded by skilled commanders,
who saw service in the Russo-Japanese
war. Thirty thousand Japanese, the
vast majority of whom are veterans Of
the Russian campaigns, are in the
southwestern section CT the United
States and Lower California. Three
Japanese generals who held high rank
in the Russo-Japanese war have been
in Mexico for three months. They
dress like Mexican rancheros and are
ostensibly buying land.
The Trans-Oceanic Immigration COM
pany, whose vice president is T. Hina-
ia, member of the japanese parlia-
ment, is subsidized by the japanese
government to bring japanese soldiers
to Mexico. They have been coming in
to Mexico at the rate of 800 per month,
landing at Salina Cruz, Manzanillo and
other Pacific ports.
In case of war, the plan is for the
japanese fleet to sail up the Gulf of
California, capture the port OF Quay
mas, and use the state of Sonora as a
base of operations in campaign against
the United States. This plan will
practically duplicate the operations
against Russia, in which Japan seized
Corea at the outbreak OF the Russo-Jap-
anese war.
Japan, in her war against the United
States, will despoil Mexican territory,
which has no navy, just as she did that
Of Corea in the war with Russia.
Foreign diplomats here, and especial
ly those of Europe, are watching the
developments with interest and aston
ishment because of the inadequate
American secret service officials, who
seem not to be thoroughly informed OF
Japan's operations in Mexico.
This story is absolutely correct in
every detail.

FREIGHT CAR POOL BREAKS.
Big Roads Abandon Project Which
Does Not Succeed.

Chicago, July 15.-The American
railway clearing house, which for eight
months has been trying to perfect a
pool of all freight cars in the country,
is in process of disintegration, accord
ing to the Inter Ocean. The Chicago &
Alton railroad, which was one of the
strongest advocates Of the car pooling
scheme at the outset, will withdraw
The Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad has already withdrawn, and
many of the big roads in the East and
West have determined to abandon the
project.
The organization has failed in its
prime object, to insure each road hav-
ing on its own rails all the time the
number of cars owned by it. 1t has
failed to do this because it had no
power to penalize the roads for disobey-
ing the mandates, beyond the imposi-
ton of the established rate of rental
per diem.

Many Japanese for Canada.

Victoria. B. c., July l3.-The Toxic
immigration company has entered
contract with the Canadian Pacific and
Grand Trunk Pacific railways to supply
all help wanted on construction work
and will send about 5000 Japanese
into Canada. Yesterday 800 japanese,
arrived. The company is working very
quietly so as not to excite suspicion and
will bring over a contingent on every
boat. Advices from Honolulu state that
a steamer has been chartered to carry
S75 to British Columbia. Labor or
CARNATIONS have taken the matter up
and in all probability it will be refer
red to the Dominion authorities.

North Powder Valley Clip.

North Powder-Sheep shearing and
dipping are about over in North Pow
der valley, and, while hauling and
weighing are still under way, it is safe
to say not less than 100000 pounds Of
wool will be baled at the two shipping
points for the Eatern market, Baker
City and Pendleton, and estimating at
the lowest figures for good and better
grades of merino wool, II to 18c. not
less than $1,000 will come to North
Powders sheepmen from wool sales
alone. Owing to the long continued
cold rains of spring, lambing was be-
low the average. Both lamb and NUT
ton are bringing good prices and are in
steady demand. At this time the
North Powder valley sheep. with a
good bill OF health, sheared and dipped,
are moving on the trail to the reserves
in fine condition.

commissioners of Cascade county, guilty
OF unlawful fencing Of government
lands. Sentence will be announced

Panic Threatens All Japan.

ictoria, B. c., July 15.-A financial
depression was being severely felt when
the steamer Tartar, which arrived to-
day, left Yokohoma June 90. A meet
ing of the managers of eight of the
most prominent banks of Japan was
held shortly before the Tartar sailed,
for the purpose of devising means to
check the depression. The government
has redeemed treasury bills, recognized
nationalized railway shares as negotia-
BILE securities and paid proximate in
terest on these, but the banks consid-
cred more drastic course.

HAYWOOD ON STAND.
President Of Miners Federation De-
nies All Evil Deeds.

Boise, Idaho, July 12.-Rapid pro-
gress was made yesterday in the Hay
wood case. The cross-examination CT
Charles H. Meyer was completed at one
session of the court and in the after
noon the direct examination Of w. D.
Haywood, the defendant. was carried
well ng.through his story.
Both men have made good witnesses.
They were expected to deny everything
said by Orchard that connected them
with crimes and they are doing so con-
sistently, but in the admissions both
make the case of the state is receiving
pronounced support. When Orchard
confessed it was stated in great many
interviews by these and other men con-
nected with the management of the
Federation that he knew nothing about
the affairs of the organization; that
they had no knowledge of him, having
met him, but having no real acquaint-
ance with him. Now they are obliged
to practically admit intimate acluaint-
ance running over long period. Again
and again they admit the correctness Of
Orchards statements respecting collat-
eral matters and again and again they
reflect their intimate acquaintance with
him under his various aliases.
1t was noticeable that Haywood was
far more at ease on the stand than he
was while Meyer was in the chair.
During the entire examination of Moy-
er, Haywood was nervous, but when
the latter took the stand he was more
composed and showed less nervousness
than had been displayed by his prede-
cessor. The testimony given by Meyer
was characterized throughout by pur-
pose to protect himself. Again and
again in answering questions as to
criminal plans or acts charged tC him
and others, he qualified his answers
with phrase like this:
Speaking for myself, can say there
was no such knowledge -

JAPAN DOES NOT WANT WAR.
Bryan Says Jingoes Cause Scare to
Get Big Navy.

Carthage, Mo-, July '13.-"Japan
does not want to make war upon the
United States,' William J. Bryan is
quoted as saying in an interview.
"Of course" he continued "there
is lot of jngoism in this japanese
war talk and the huIrying of feet of
warships to the Pacific coast. To my
mind, the object is not to repel an at
tack by Japan but that the talk is be-
ing done by some alleged statesmen at
Washington to influence congress to
make a big naval appropriation.

war, do so advisedly, for, when | was
in Japan, I talked with the leading
men of all walks of life and | found

Good VIII towards Koreans

The Hague, July 15.-It was official
Iy stated today that Joseph H. Choate,
speaking to the Corean delegates at The
Hague yesterday, merely said that
America had always felt good will to-
ward Koreans, but he manifested no
opinion about the present condition of

belief that no action can be taken here,
adding that if the Coreans desire to
make representations to the United
States it must he to the government.

The stale is now p~n0ared to assist the far
mers in financial u.,.ner, as as inducement
to secure the planting Of more trees. Every
farmer ought to plant five or ten acres of trees
whether he is raid a cent or not but the state
will allow him three dollars an acre for them
There are SO many reasons why one ought to
have a lice grove OF trees on the farm. 1t is
not only q better and a wind break, but looks
better, and in time will be worth great deal
for wood. Besides, it stops the wind in its re-
lentless course across the praires, and retains
much of the moisture By all means plant a
few acres OF trees. Get in thousand Or So,
even if nc more, just for q starter.
The law provides that any person who shall
hereafter plant, cultivate and keep in agrowing
and thrifty condition one acre and not more
than ten acres OF prairie land, with any kind OF
forest trees, and shall plant the trees not more
than eight feet apart each way, shall be EMIT
led to $500 for each acre Of trees SO planted
and cultivated. But this bounty shall not be
paid unless the trees be grown upon "a tract Of
not less than so acres, and at least 400 trees
are kept in q growing condition. The bounty
shall not exceed the amount OF the real estate
taxes levied against the tract Of land upon
which the trees are grown.

RATHER COMPLICATED.

1t begins to look as tho Gov. Burkewas going
to do what he said when he remarked that he
was going to put the blind pigs OF the state out
OF business. His commissioner is causing beer
and whiskey, shipped to the various cities Of
the state, seized at the depots and if beer can
not be shipped into the state 1T will be a hard
matter for the would-be pggers to handle it.
The railroads will soon become tired OF hav-
ing their depots closed and the stuff confiscated
and in turn they may refuse to haul the beer,
unless the breweres pay the freight in advance
a thing that is not safe for the latter. The con-
ditions are getting to be complicated enough.

DO THE RIGHT THING.

The Granville Herald announces that it is
serding number Of sample copies and if that
paper does not receive notice by May 1 to quit,
the pape will be sent right on and OF course
will be charged for from that time If there is
one thing more than another that ought to
cause an editor to get licked, it is sending his
paper to man who has not ordered it, or who
is not receiving it from some friend.
Nine times out Of ten, the reader will neglect
to have the paper stopped-if he happens to
want it stopped-and if he does happen to keep
on taking it for six months or year, and pays
for it, it will always leave bad taste in his
mouth. Better have less readers and have them
genuine. Make your paper SO good that you
will have to lock your door to keep the sub
scribers out-if you ever get enough, but for
farmers by compelling them to pay for publ
cation which perhaps they did not want in the
first place, and never ordered.

lash is to be used and McI<enzie's favorites will
try to ride in on the Republican band wagon to

well to look into this little game in the start.

climatic conditions in N. D. has apparel,tlv fat
