Toxic. Sept. Pit is reported here on trust
worthy authority that the new Anglo Russian

the respective spheres of influence of the two

a railroad along the Persian Gulf The condi-

which followed the Russo-Japanese War.
The leading newspapers of Japan unite in well

Both Joseph H. Choate and James Brown
Scott Of the American delegation were present
to-day but they did not take part in the dis
cussion regarding a permanent court. There
would appear to be three currents of opinion
concerning this permanent court. the first is in
favor of alIottng one judge permanently to each
of the great powers. the second supports the
project by which all countries. great and small.
shall have equal rights in the election of judges.

ulate YOU on standard of integrity and ef-
fcency they have attained
The principal address Of the day delivered
b. Vice-President Fairbanks. He said in part:
The effect of irrigation IN this Western country
can he appreciated only by those who familiar
with 1t from personal observation. The change
made in the conversion of arid waste into fruit
f,lI fields seems almost incredible. There is no
more radical transformation to be found anywhere
than in the parched valleys and plains Which have
been irrigated and which prior thereto, produced
nothing but sage brush. The most unproductive
land has become the most fertile. From the worst,
IT takes rank the best
II N hard TO find anywhere more apparently
productive land than that which is occupied by
sage brush. and boIntiful harVests

land produces when touched by the vitalizng in
fuence of irrigation There are promising fields
today where there no sign of habitation be

what we shall accomplish If we faithfully adhere
to the policy upon which we have entered and

to follow the example of its competitors and reduce
its eastward Atlantic fares This action had been
expected otherwise. with all the lines running
from the Continent Channel ports accepting lower
rates much of the Liverpool traffic might have been

most interesting question Is whether the Cunard

will affect the Canadian trade The American lines
