Remarkable Record Made
By Cooper in Minneapolis

The remarkable success that has at
tended L. T. Cooper during the past
year has not been confined to any one
locality, but is so widespread that the
young man is now well known figure
in most of the leading cities of the
country.
Mr.. Cooper believes that the stomach
is the foundation for most ill health,
and claims that his preparation, by
regulating The stomach, is a true spe-
cific for most diseases. The following
extract from the Tribune of Minneap-
oils gives an idea of the surprising
number of people who are accepting
Coopers theory. The article was one
of many that appeared during Cooper's
stay in Minneapolis, and is as follows:
''The sale of Cooper's preparation
is now phenomenal in this city and

DIGGING SOME
AT PANAMA
STATISTICS SHOW MARVELLOUS
AMOUNT OF WORK DoNE-DE-
TAILS OF PLANS SHOW WORK
YET IN CONTEMPLATION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE
dirt and rock removed from the
Panama canal during the month
just closed would be sufficient to
form a. dirt. and rock carpet over all
/ that part of Manhattan island be-
tween Fifty-ninth street and the
Battery and the East and North
rivers and to leave enough to cover
Central park to depth of FIVE feet"
This startling statement will form
a part of the forthcoming report Of
the isthmian canal commission.
Because the human mind is not
attuned to figures when the soar
into millions, the public has been
ignorant of the actual amount of
work done by the Panama canal
commission since Chief Engineer
Goethals took charge of that ire
mendous task, but this afternoon
one of the statistical experts in the
canal commission made some dimen-
sional studies, with results that are
startling.
Three locks are planned for the
canal--the Gatum, the Pedro Mi
guel and the La Boca. These three
vast works provide for the use of
reinforced concrete in sufficient
quantities to build 22,842 houses
80 feet by 80 feet, of eight rooms
each, with two stories and base
ment complete, with concrete floors
and roof. These houses, each set on
its own 75-foot lot, would make
three streets with houses on each
side of the street, reaching from
Panama to Colon. and there would
be enough houses left over to make
another street from Panama to
Georgia. They would make a con-
tinuous chain from New York to
Philadelphia, with enough houses
left over to make a row on one side
of the street from Philadelphia to
Washington, or street with houses
on one side from st. Louis to Chi
cago.
They would furnish suburban
homes to about 10000 persons,
and If crowded into, as city dwell
ings usually are. they would house a
population equal to that of the city
Of Minneapolis.

WILL RESTRICT
EMIGRATION
WHILE YIELDING ON SOME
POINTS JAPAN EXPRESSES DE-
SIRE TO WORK OUT HER OWN
EMIGRATION PLANS

TOXIC, Jan 1.-The Japanese
government late yesterday evening
handed Ambassador O'Brien a MEM
orandum containing reply to the
suggestions offered by the United
State government some weeks ago,
whereby the American government
sought a friendly way to assist
Japan in perfecting plans for the
future restriction of emigration,
thus effectively avoiding possible
fity of friction over the question.
While the contents of the memo
randum are carefully guarded, both
at the Japanese foreign Office and
American embassy, the Associated
Press has reason to believe that the
memorandum is couched in the most
friendly terms, and that while it
accepts some of the American sug-
gestions it declines others as in
compatible with the dignity of
Japan and outlines plans for the
further restriction of emigration to
America.
The memorandum has been
cabled to Washington, from whence
it is possible a counter-suggestion
will be forthcoming but it is inti-
mated that Japan thinks the memo
randum will form the basis wherein
the two countries will be able to
reach final and satisfactory under
standing.
Officials of the japanese foreign
office, talking to the Associated
Press have said the system control
ling emigration which will be i'm
mediately enforced, would effectual-
ly avoid complaints which have aris-
en- in consequence of the mistakes of
administration of the regulations
inaugurated last spring. While not
desiring to shirk the responsibility
for these mistakes, the officials of
the foreign Office point out that it
would be foolish to charge the Jap
anese government with a wilful
breach of faith.
The Japanese government having
carefully investigated the details
has discovered the causes of the
failure of previous plans and now
proposes to demonstrate its ability
to effectively prevent the emigration
OF laborers who are needed In the
OF Japan. The SINGER
lty of the Japanese government and
Its competency to control emigration !
as well as its desire to maintain |
friendly relations with America. It |
Is pointed out that its concession to |
Canada limiting emigration to that
country is part of its entire
scheme of control because Vancou-
yer afforded an opportunity for
large numbers of Japanese to cross
the border into America.
A prominent Japanese Official said
today to the Associated Press:
ut matters not whether America
controls immigration from Japan or
Japan controls emigration to Amer

BOY FIREBUG Is ARRESTED.

BAKER CITY, Oregon, Nov 2S.---
The series of disastrous fires in this
city during the last few months,
which resulted in heavy financial
losses and wrought up the people
here almost to state of frenzy, have
been traced to a. 15-year-old school
boy named Golden Ormond, who has
been arrested and confessed his
crimes.
The confession alleged to have been
made by the youth, reveals a NOR
bid desire to avenge the reprimand
of school teacher, and his delight
in the excitement attendant upon the
fires he started.
