1t is said gamblers are focking to

Sheepmen and cattlemen declare
that reports sent out recently detailing
big losses in the eastern and northern
parts of the state are utterly untrue
and that. while losses will probably
be somewhat above the average, it is
still TOO early to approximate, as the
heaviest losses usually occur curing
February, when stock is weakened
from long exposure and battling with
the elements.
Sheepmen were better prepared to
stand a severe winter than cattlemen,
and in many places have kept the
losses down by using rotary snow
plows, with which they barred the
ground and allowed the sheep to feed.
\ chinook which prevailed the last
few days helped conditions materially
in the central part of the state, melt
ing a great mass of snow.

in a letter from DR.. Anita Newcomb
MCGEE to Captain j. Walter Mitchell

of nurses under the auspices of the
Red Cross society for work among
the Japanese soldiers in the Russo

as to the drink habit among the Japan

suits following the adjustment of the
canteen in the United States army.

Conclusions of Or. MCGEE.
DR.. MCGEE says:


Like every one who knows some
thing of the subject, l am heartily in
favor of giving our American soldiers
their club--called a canteen-where
they may enjoy themselves harmless
ly AS woman and a physician l
deplOre the horrible results of making
man seek his amusements where he
is liable to fall a prey to the worst
temptations, and so l wish you speedy
success in recstablishing the canteen
in the American army.
Instead of our liquors, wines, etc.,
the Japanese use beverage they pre-
pare themselves, called sake tasting
like sherry, served hot, but in charac-
ter like the light wines or beer for
merly supplied in our army canteens.
saw this sake in Manchuria where
it was furnished as a part of the ra-
tions when it was feasible to provide
it, though the quantity was exceeding
ly small, so that the effect was stimu-
lating, not intoxicating. l have heard
that sometimes, when the weather was
bitterly cold, the daily sake had to be
dispensed in the form of a frozen
lump. which was as big as mans
thumb.
'In Hiroshima l met from time to
time court officials who were on their
way from Toxic to the front with a
quantity of sake which the emperor
was sending as a gift to the troops
in celebration of some victory. This
drink was also for sale by the post
traders, and yet the temperance of the
| Japanese soldier was a wonder to my
nurses and myself We saw tens of
thousands of them, but never did we
see a soldier drunk"

TEXAS WoMAN'S DISTINCTION. Is the Largest Individual Land Owner
 In the World.

From the Washington Herald.
 Mrs. H. E. King, the largest indi- vidual land owner In the world. is at the Shoreham, accompanied by her brother, Robert Kleberg, of Corpus Christi, Tex, and her nephew, August J. Kleberg, a prominent dentist of that city. Mrs. King, whose ranch lies near Victoria, Tex, is here to put her niece in school In speaking of the ranch last night, August Kleberg said: Just now I cannot tell you the exact size of the ranch but you can gather some idea of it's immensity when l tell you that you can ride over it all day on horseback without coming to the end. The most unusual part of it is that every acre of it is fertile ground, and there is but little of it not used for

the raising of stock. There are enough cattle on the place to feed the people of Washington for year, and when the time for shipment comes 1t is nec- essary to charter the railroad trains for weeks at a time.
 Mrs. King, although in close touch with the business, does but little of 1t herself. She leaves the entire manage ment of the ranch to my brother Caesar Kleberg. who has been in charge for about ten years. Every day during the year there are a number Of visitors, and it is necessary at times to give them guides so that they will not get lost on the place. Among the most distinguished and interesting visitors of recent years was Richard Harding Davis. who spent nearly a week there, and who afterward wrote of it in a graphic and thoroughly com petent manner. It is one of the sights of Texas, as it gives you some idea of how great and rich country it is."

entific and humanitarian idea. that the individual is so conditioned by heredity and environment that he is not to be held responsible for criminal tendencies and instincts which may be inherited as truly as bodily diseases and deformities. Pos sibly even he believes that penal servi- tude for life is a worse punishment for the criminal than quick death, however horrible, while it is far less degrading to those who must administer it than the infiietion of a death penalty can ever be. Whichever view he holds, it is to his honor that he holds it firmly, and in spite of all popular outcry. If capital punishment is wrong in principle it is all ways wrong, and the peculiar horror Of Soeillands s crime is no reason for depart ing from the principle. Indeed all such crimes point strongly to congenital dis ease as their cause, and to the need for greater care in the breeding Of the hu- man race as the remedy.
 A very interesting venture is about to be made at the Garden City at Letch- worth To meet the difficulty of procur- ing proper domestic servants for people of small incomes. who nevertheless wlsh to preserve the privacy of home life, 1t is proposed to form a company on the CO., operative basis to build and afterward to manage a group of buildings each consisting of a house with small pantry instead of a kitchen, but with it's own bathroom, etc. The center portion of the builulng will contain accommodation for the domestic staff, kitchen, common din- ing-room, and possibly other common rooms, where meals can be had, or from whlc.. they can be sent to the separate houses It is thought that many benefits to both mistresses and servants vii re- suit from this arrangement. Mistresses will be saved worry and expense, as well as time. which to professional women Is even more important, and for the maids. their work will be raised to higher standard, and the monotony and solitude of the ordinary service will be avoided. Charlotte Stetson in her clever book, ''Women and Economies has already pointed out the urgent need for some such and if this venture succeeds. as we nope and if this venture succeeds as we hope it will. it will doubtless be soon followed by many others on similar lines.

VISIT GAY PAREE
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
Travel lneounito to France and
Make Informal Call on
President Falieres
BY Associated Press.

PARIS, Feb. 2-King Edward,
Queen Alexandra and their suite ar
rived here from London this afternoon.
Their majesties went in automobiles
to the British embassy, which they
will occupy during their stay, Ambas-
sador Sir Francis l.. Bertie and his
family having moved into a hotel in
order to emphasize the private char
aCtcr of the visit.
At the kings request, no represen-
tatives of the government met him at
the railroad station, but a large crowd
heartily cheered the royal group. The
ncognito of their majesties will not
disappear until King Edward leaves
his card at the Elysee palace for Pres
ident Fallieres, after which there will
be dinners at the embassy and palace
While the kings visit has no polit-
ical significance it is expected to bear
fruit in further cementing the Anglo
France understanding and may have
a bearing upon the attitude of the
two countries at The Hague peace con-
ference.

DECRY TALK Of
JAPANESE WAR
England Would Not
Aid 0rientals
London Newspapers Derlde Idea Of
impending Conflict-Bourse Is De-
pressed by Disquieting Tele-
grams of News Agency
Bv Associated Press.


LONDON, Feb. 2.-Dispatches from
the United States reporting increased
tension between the United States and
Japan over the San Francisco school
incident are published with rather de-
risive comment, as the press takes the
view that Japan is not as belligerent
as she is represented.
The official view, while 1t does not
minimize the delicate points involved
still does not regard the question as
having entered upon the critical stage.
1t is pointed out that the reports of
japanese "ultimatum" probably arise
from the popular use of the word in
stead of its decisive meaning under in
ternational law.
Government circles thus far have
given little consideration to this con-
troversy as they do not share the view
that it is likely to embroil Great
Britain under the Anglo-JapaneSe
treaty. Officials point out that the
whole thing is more a question be-
tween the federal and state govern
ments than between Japan and the
United States.
During a recent informal exchange
officials said that the difficulties of the
federal government in dealing with the
different states could be appreciated
owing to Great Britain's difficulties in
dealing with Newfoundland and other
colonies.
Concerning the Anglo-Japanese treaty
for mutual support the official view is
that this is limited by it's preamble to
the maintenance of territorial rights of
Great Britain and Japan in eastern
Asia and India. In explaining the limi-
taticn the official referred to above re-
lated the following:
During the negotiation of the treaty
the negotiators asked the hypothetical
question:
"'If Japan became involved with
Germany upon a question entirely local
to Germany and involving the situation
in the far east, would the treaty re-
.quire Great Britain to support the
Japanese"
Both the negotiators agreed that
Great Britain would not be required OF
support Japan under such conditions.
The official pointed that this hypothesis
was practically the same as the exist
ing San Francisco policy, which is local
to California and does not involve the
status in the far east, as is set forth
in the preamble of the treaty.
The foregoing, however, is merely an
expression of views. There has never
been occasion for an official ruling on
the subject.

Sonoma Suffers Greatly
By Associated Press.

BY ASSOClaleu l-TeSS.
SONOMA, Cal, Feb. 2.-The rainfall
here the past twenty-four hours was
unprecedented. The precipitation last
night was three inches Sonoma creek
and all it's tributaries broke over their
banks and inundated al the extreme
southern part of the valley. Three
thousand feet of the California North
western tracks was washed away be-
low Schelltville and the morning trains
for San Francisco were stalled near
that place.
The rain ceased during the forenoon
and at O'Clock in the afternoon the
waters had fallen eight feet where the
washout occurred. A large crew of
section men were put to work and by
4 o'clock temporary repairs enabled the
afternoon train to get through. Much
damage was done to fencing, but aside
from this little damage is reported ex-
cept to the roadbed Of the California
Northwestern and South Pacific rail-
oadsr, which will be running on sched-
ule time tomorrow.
