investment of the liquor interests in
this community was in excess of ST.

THE NEW TREATY WITH JAPAN

It is an innocent appearing docu-
ment, that new treaty between the
United States and Japan. On it's face
it is simply a declaration in favor OF
the open door policy for all nations,
In the Orient, supplemented with the
statement that each shall respect the
territorial possessions of the other.
A deeper significance, however,
must be attached to the clause which
reads: lid
In the event OF complications,
threatening the statu quo, = =
the United States and Japan
agree to consult each other with
a view to acting together.
This sentence is notification to the
balance Of the world to keep hands
of the islands of the Pacific. It is,
In effect another doctrine similar to
that laid down for South America BY
James Monroe, that the balance Of
power in the Pacific shall not be dis
turbed
1t means that no marauding nation,
lusting for conquest, may go into the
east on a land grabbing expedition.
The agreement is the most import
ant and ~far-reaching Of any state pa
per signed by two governments within
the last twenty years, since it settles
a mooted question, wipes out the pcs
sibility of wal between the United
States and Japan and brings the two
together in bonds of friendship, on
selfish grounds, to be sure, but closer,
nevertheless. ""
Aggressive designs on the part of
each power is explicitly disclaimed.
While this agreement is not an al
.ance. in so many words, o-4ensiye or
defensive, for the preservation Of the
existing conditions in the east, it
amounts to the same thing.

oUR p DISPLAY.

G. |. Gardner has shipped a supply
of apples to Spokane, which are to be
exhibited at the Worlds Apple show,
which will open at that place in a few
days.
These Eastern Montana apples, Mr..
Gardner declares are as fine as may
be raised in any section of the United
States. They came from Carbon, Rose
bud and Yellowstone counties.
The display from this section will
doubtless open the eyes Of the people
of Eastern Washington to the fact
that while they raise some mighty
fine fruit out there, Eastern Montana
is right up in the front rank as an ap-
pie growing section.

THE UPRISING in INDIA,

Annually there is a shortage of food

result is that the race is reduced to a

terday morning the man who lost the
suit case, which contained valuable
papers, certificates Of deposit for
about $500 and clothing and effects,
came to Billings and went at once to
Chief of Police Bert Talgo.
Talgo and his men went to work on
the case and in a short space of time
had Charles Johnson behind the bars.
In Johnson's possession the certifi-
Gates Of deposit and other papers were
found and the police soon had a full
confession OF the crime. A suit of
clothes which Johnson had pawned for
$3.50 was located and recovered and a
cleanup was made Of the job, in real
artistic style.
Sheriff Fred Batchelder arrived from
Red Lodge last night and as the theft
was committed in Carbon county, will
take Johnson back there this morn
ing.
Officers Schneider and Foster made
the arrest Of johnson, who was dis
covered in a south side saloon, as he
thoughs, safe from THE clutches Of
the law.
Johnson is a young nan and looks
anything but the clever thief. On the
contrary he looks very much like a
farm hand.
Besides the deposit certificates, the
suit case contained a note for $500.

Tomorrow there will be a hearing
before the tariff revision committee
on the wool question. And we may
be certain that the manufacturers who
want all there is in it, will be on hand
to insist that the f1ockmaster does not

We may be just as certain that the

The man who sells pelts, regardless

The manufacturer explains that
cheaper hides are desirable-that's to

however, the manufacturer, voices the
sentiment of the fellow who deals in
pelts, when he says that the duty on
the manufactured product must re
main just rs it is, in order to protect
him against foreign competition.
The principle Of protection is per
fectly clear, when applied to ourselves,

in Birmingham, twenty-odd years ago.
The Mills bill was then discussed in

In Birmingham, a Republican would

The men who know nothing abou

Likewise, we are told that the nev

All this came out at a banquet o
American e admirals held in Chi
cago Monday evening.
Such men as Dewey, Schley and nv
ans, old sea dogs who have carried
the stars inc stripes into every port,
who have fought under the colors in
two wars, who have advanced, step
by step, from the time warships were
propelled slowly and uncertainty by
the wind bending the sails, to the pres
ent moment when steam has reached
it's highest development, assure us
that our ships are the wonder of the
world.
Indeed, we have had more than one
demonstration of this. The old Ore
gon Travelled $4,000 miles and it was
not necessary to expend 10 cents on
her for repairs. After that long tr.p
she engaged in the battle of Santiago
Bay, and developed speed that placed
her in the cruiser class.
Our second rate ships, pitted against
those of the same class, destroyed
nearly twice their number in the har-
Dor OF, Manila, on that eventful day,
eleven years ago, when the world was
electrified by the achievement of
Dewey.
Sixteen of our battleships have
Travelled 10000 miles, and are still go
ing. They will have passed through
10000 miles of seas when the world
wide cruise shall have been com
pleted. Such a trip has never been
accomplished before-it has peen CON
sidered too risky.
The critics predicted that the feet
would never reach San Francisco
that some would be lost, that they
would be out Of repair-yet, through
storm and calm, these ships have
steamed through the north and the
south Atlantic ocean, the south and
the north Pacific ocean-then across
the Pacific, from northeast to south
west, across the Indian ocean, half
twice through Chinese, and all of it
twice through the sea OF Japan,
and, now it is about to cross the
Indian ocean again, through the Per-
sian gulf, the Red sea, the Suez, the
Mediterranean, and the Atlantic, after
first visiting the principal European
ports.
This is the fleet that was scofed
at, and which the admirals declare
the equal Of any.
