JAPANESE LIMOGES.

Victoria, B. c., July 13.-Officers OF
the steamer Tartar, which arrived to-
day from Japan, reported that much
excitement prevailed when the steamer
left Yokohama in consequence of the
situation that had arisen regarding the
United States. Many interviews were
published in the Japanese papers, most
of them extremely jingoistic.
Count Itagaki. formerly home min
lister and prominent Japanese states
man, in an interview published at
Tokyo, said:
"Warships should be mustered In
Tokyo bay and Japan should confront
America in solving this question by
presenting an attitude to meet Amerl-
cans in fire forthwith II they reject the
lust and legitimate demands OF
Japan"
Count Okuma, with whom Count
Itagaki formed coalition government
years ago, also advocates certain meas
ures in an interview published by the
Jill Shimpo. He says Japan has be-
come power and relations with
America are on a footing BETTING he
new position, and the tendency to
treat japanese as an inferior people
must not be tolerated.

WEST COAST LEADS.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-According
to the statements of the Bureau OF
Statistics, of the United States De-
partment of Commerce and Labor, the
ports on the southern, western and
northern borders Of the United States
are steadily increasing their share in
both the import and export trade,
while conversely, the PERCENTAGE OF the
trade passing through ports on the At
lantic seaboard is decreasing. In 1927
83k per cent of the imports into the
United States entered through Atlantic
ports, while in 1907 the share enter
ing through those ports will be about
80 per cent. In 1897 about So per cent
of the exports passed out of the coun-
try through Atlantic ports, while The
figures of 1907 will show but about 81
per cent of the exports of the country
through those ports.
The drift of the foreign trade awaJ
from the Atlantic ports and towa'd
the ports on the southern, western
and northern borders occurs more
largely in exports than in imports, ahG
is due in part to the fact that a mucf
larger share of the grain and cotton
exported now finds its way to Europe
via the Gulf, Pacific and northern
border ports than formerly, and to The
further fact that the exports TO TN
Orient, which have increased rapid,
during the past decade, pass chiefly on
of the Pacific Coast ports. In imports

situation contains many elements OF

Immigrants in the territories border

of Australia, Africa and Canada are as

respect toward Japan, the Spectator is
unable to withhold it's sympathy from
the colonists. 1t says circumstances
have forced the Americans to be tht
pioneers in working out the problem
but it is impossible to foresee how
soon another series of accidents may
not bring Great Britain face to fac'

BROWNSVILLE TROOPS
FAMOUS NEGRO REGIMENT
SOON PASSING THROUGH
On Way to the Philippines EARLY
Next Month-Major Block
son and Senator
Foraker.

San Francisco, July 1.-THE Twen-
ty-ffth infantry, regarding which
there has been much notoriety, has
been subject to many changes by order
of the War Department at Washing
ton. But according to the latest adj
vices, the one battalion now at the Pre-
sidio will be joined soon by the other
two battalions, the regiment leaving
between the 9Th and the 18th Of Aug
ust on the Crook for the Philippines.
Due in the islands some months ago,
the Twenty fifth has had to await the
result of the Brownsville inquiry
That entire matter is now ended ex-
cept the submission of a report tc
Congress, and the infantrymen may
now proceed to fresh fields and new
conquests, minus the disbanded bat
talon. 1t is not thought in Washing
ton that the Brownsville inquiry was
provocative of any very material re-
suit. The only sensation is the critl
cism of Senator Foraker by Ma1ol
Augustus P. Blockson while smartin&
under remarks by the Senator; the re
quest of the War Department for eX
plantations of his language by Majo
Blockson, and the expectation that tn
Major will explain in way to deepe!
the rift in the lutte.
There is also report in Washing
ton to the effect that Major Blocksol
gave out an interview 20 Washington
correspondents subject to release
which sizzled with invectives an
caustic verbiage, but the release neve
came, due, it is stated, to the influenc
of the Majors friends, who persuade
him to reconsider.

of the Tenth Infantry from Camp Nc

TRAINING WooDPEcKERs.
Maine Mans Scheme to Turn Rock
Naples Into Birdseye Variety.

After having spent more than sixty
years and more than $4,000 in hunt
ing bears and studying the ways of!
wild creatures Greenleaf Davis of
Bangor, Me, has begun to raise tame
woodpeckers with the purpose of using
them to convert ordinary rock naples
into birdseye maple, says Bangor
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. Davis is more than eighty. Sixty
years ago he Inherited a mill property
valued at $4,000, which he sold, and
then he went to the woods under the
side of Mount Katahdin. He has tanned
many wild animals. His great success
has been won with woodpeckers, oS
which he now has nearly hundred.
They are of the hairy and downy sne-.
cies in about equal numbers, but more
than both of these in number and es-

which pick round holes in the bark OF
trees. making them look like the bot
tom of an old style colander.
The redheaded woodpccker made sad
havoc in his sap orchard. digging holes

flow of sap, from which much of his
living was derived. 1t was impossible
TO kill the birds because of the com
pany they afforded. and it was equally
impossible to live without the income
from the sap orchard. The old man
spent weeks in his grove watching the
result of the wounds which the birds
snai tI,a, lN1r.l-
As the scars healed he noticed that
there was q bright red spot left on the
wood directly below the wound. If the
tree was badly marked the red spots
were more numerous than they We're
on trees which had suffered less. while
on trees which the woodpeckers had
not visited there were no traces of red
About this time it occurred to him
that as the beautiful markings of the
birdseye maple We're due to the red
spots in the wood and as nobody had
ever been able to account for them /:
was possible that the variety of maple
known as birdseye might owe its ori
gin to the work of the woodpeckers
If so he had made discovery that had
baffied botanists for years. He had
also learned how to make his colony OF
tame woodpeckers self supporting.
