A STARTLING STATEMENT.
Especial to The sentinel.1


Sioux City. Ia, Dec. Al. II.
Moore, of New York and London, an
agent of the British government, dur
ing his recent visit in Sioux City,
made a startling statement to the
effect that at one time recently the
Japanese government had two secret
agents stationed at every important
railroad bridge in the United States
ready to dynamite il within twenty
four hours after war might be de-
clared. the purpose being to inter
fere with the movement of supplies
and men. He stated farther that hos
tilities between Japan and the United
States We're avoided only through the
efforts of President Roosevelt Mr.
Moore said he was in Manchuria dur
ing the Russo-Japanese war when the
Japs blew up 700 bridges within a
week after the war had begun. Mr..
Moore continued: War between
Japan and the United States is in
evitable. The japanese owe financ-
iers in this country something like
$400, 100000 on bonds bought be-
fore apd during the Russo-Japanese
war Japan would wipe out this in
debtedness by means of war" The
special agent made these statements
in discussion of Emperor William s
interviews. He expressed the opin-
ion that the emperor knew of the
danger of war between Japan and
the United States and desired n Ger
man-American alliance

IT'S A GREAT PLAY.

Conan and Harris comedians will
present "Brewster's Millions at the
Park opera house on Thursday, Dec
10. After one has witnessed per-
formance of this famous comedy one
can safely feel that he has enjoyed
the best play of its kind produced in
recent years. 1t is a result of n
combination of brains. ability and
money properly directed Originally
'Brewster's Millions" was a novel
by that prolific fiction dispenser.
George Barr McCutcheon, whose
Beverly of Graustark" had previous
ly been so successful Messrs. Win
chell Smith and Byron Ongley saw in
"Brewster's Millions the possibili-
ties for great play and proceeded
to transplant 1t from the bookshelf
to the footlights. So well did they
succeed that their work attracted
the attention of Frederic Thompson
of the late firm of Thompson &
Dundy. the promoters and conduc-
tors of Luna Park at Coney Island.
Mr., Thompson being the inventor
and promoter of number of mar
Nelous illusions which were seen at
both the Buffalo and ST. Louis

the play. Its overwhelming success

Chicago. and longer in London is but

Fence To Protect
Sheep On Range
Woven and Barbed Wire Keep Out
All Animals Except
Grizzlies.

The Forest Service of Washing
ton, d. c., issued last week the fol
lowing bulletin about the coyote
proof fence being experimental with
in Wallowa county:
Fencing the range to protect
sheep from the attacks of predatory
animals has met with excellent re
suits in the Wallowa national forest
in Oregon. The problem was to find
4 strong fence that would make the
sheep secure, even without the
care of herder.
"The chosen fence, which is built
of woven wire with barbed wire on
the top, has kept out all the minor
animals such as wildcats, lynxes and
coyotes, but has not withstood the
attacks of the grizzlies, which are
apparently able to pass through
with little trouble.
Sheep numbering 1900 head were
placed in the enclosure with their
lambs upon June 20 and have been
allowed to Craze at their free will
with no attention whatever from any
herder. They have done splendidly
and as far as the observation OF
those in charge of the experiment
goes, given area grazed by sheep
under such conditions will carry
more sheep per acre than one graz
ed under the charge of a herder.
Tracks along the fence show that
predatory animals come to the fence
constantly and follow it around but
with the exception of the bears, do
not seem able to enter.
"The hunter employed by the Ser
vice for hunting predatory animals
in the vicinity of this fenced enclo
sure has killed no less than six large
grizzlies this season, besides numer
GUS other animals of the predatory
class.
"The results of this experiment
are so satisfactory thus far that pri
vate individuals are profiting by it
j. w. Emmons of Troy, Oregon, has
large area of private land fenced
with a special wire fence, in which
he has this season lambed herd OF
$40 ewes without herder's care and
with very little attention and great
success. Mr.. Emmons is extending
his fence, for he finds that 1t pays.
Careful record will be kept of the
weights of lambs raised inside
this fence with view of comparing
them with the same grade of lambs
raised outside the fence on the same
class of range. so that any gains OIL
losses in weight and growth may be
determined.
