Russia Will Make VIadiVostOk
Strong Enough to With.
stand Years Seiqe

St. Petersburg, Feb. 1.-THE min
istry of war is preparing plans for
the speedy conversion of Vladivos-
tok into first class fortress, in
volving the expenditure of about
$6.OOO,OO0. The completion of the
work within three years is held to
be imparitive, in order that Russia
may not be caught mapping at Port
Arthur, in case of future trouble
with Japan. Sixty engineering Off
GERS will be employed on the work.
: Russian strategy in the future was
with Japan will depend upon the
ability of Vladivostok to hold out
for year without assistance. The
mobilization plans worked out by
the general staff contemplates the
concentration of troops on the line
of Lake Baikal and abandonment
of intervenin parts of Siberia and
Manchuria until the army is strong
enough to assume the offensive sue
cessfully.

TAFT
Secures All -Four DELEGATES
at Large From Ohio
to Chicago
Also q Districts Go SOlidIy

position
Foraker Men Put Up No
Fight TO Speak Off in
| the State

Columbus, O., Feb. 1.-THE net re-
suit of the republican primaries
throughout Ohio today was for Viii
liam. H. Taft, four delegates at large
and twenty-five district delegates to
the national convention in Chicago,
and q list of delegates to the state
convention, to be held March 8, which
will be unanimously in his favor.
Hardin county held no primaries.
No opposition worth mentioning de-
veloped during the day. The supreme
court destroyed all chances Of success
by the Foraker element in Cuyahoga
county by declaring that the Taft
county committee was the only valid
organization of its kind in that coun-
ty and the selection of delegates there
went by default, no ticket placed in
the field against the Taft candidates.
ID Knox county opposition to Taft
had brought an independence" tic
ket into the field, the Independents,
however, being all Foraker men. The
Taft candidates won easily, the vote
being about four to one, in their fav-
or.
The actual voting for delegates to
! the state convention was carried on
in but thirty-five out of a total of
lightweight counties in the state,
Taft delegates in fifty-two counties
had no opposition and their names
were simply certified as having been
elected. 1t was the general belief
that the votes would be cast in thir-
ty-six counties, but the failure of the
Foraker men to bring out an opposi.
ton ticket in Cuyohoga county reduc-
ed the number by one.
The congressional primaries were
held in the 4th, 5th, 9th and the great
er part of the sth, 9Th, 18th, 14th,
15t, 10th, 18th and 2lst districts and
in small portions of the 7th and 18th

Washington, d. c., Feb. 11.-An
important announcement was made
today by the Interstate Commerce
Commission respecting its attitude
toward the request recently made by
operating vice presidents Of railroads
of the United States that the So
called nine-hour law, relating to the
employment Of train dispatchers,
telegraph operators and tower men
be suspended by the commission un-
til such time as the law could be
amended to NEE the desires Of all
concerned. The commission holds
in brief that it has no authority to
extend the time or suspend the OPP

the extension asked for.

Savant Says Worlds POpula.
ton Increases Faster Than
Wheat Acreage
Not Enough Wheat Raised
Now to Supply All
Who Want II

Chicago, Feb. 11.--Summaries fur
.nished to members OF the Chicago
board Of trade confirm the recent as
.sertion OF French servant that the
worlds population is increasing its
wheat crops. In the United States
in 1871 the population of $4,000, 900
put 2O,OOO,OOO into wheat and was
lucky enough to produce 231 ,O00, 900
bushels-which amounted to 5.S bus
hels for every man, woman and child.
But each man, woman and child ate
only At bushels. In 1901 the acreage
in wheat had increased to $4,000, 600
acres and the crop to 74S,000, 900
bushels, which was 81 bushels per
capita, and the exports were Al per
cent of the crop instead of % per
cent in 1871. But in 1907 the 81, OOO,-
600 people of the United States only
had crop Of IA bushels per capita
l-634 900, 900 bushels-one reason be-
ing that fewer acres were planted to
wheat. The consumption had increas-
ed however to IL bushels for every
man, woman and child, which left
the exports less and was one big
factor in making dollar wheat
Now it is the price of corn that is
climbing, due, it is said, to the poor
quality of the corn crop of 1907; sc
much Of it was not At to be kept
long that the really good corn has
commanded better prices. AS soon a.
field work begins again the shipmnets
will drop and the demand is expected
to advance prices.

THE TREATY
Text Of Compact for Arbi.
tratiOn Between U. S.
and France

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE treaty Of arbi-
tration between France and the Unit
ed States which was signed yester-
day in Washington follows closely the
terms OF similar conventions already
made by France with Great Britain,
Italy, Spain and Holland. the only
difference being the method OF rati-
fication by the American senate and
by the French parliament. The trea-
ty provides for the submission Of all
questions arising between the two
powers to the Hague court Of arbitra-
ton excepting those matters which
concern the vital interest, independ-
ence or honor Of either country, as
well as questions affecting the inter-
ests of other powers.

Tuesday

to ReCeipting for I'm
delivered Goods
Contractor Kicked on ReduC.
ing Bills Because lie
Had to Divide

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 1.-The eli
max in the state capitol conspiracy
trial was reached this afternoon, just
before the commonwealth closed,
when Stanford B. Lewis, the assist
ant Of Architect Joseph NJ. Houston,
declared on the witness stand that
Contractor John n. Sanderson Of
the defendants, complained that he
did not want to cut down his bills
because he chad to put up big wad
for the other people"
Lewis also testified that the letter,
which he produced yesterday with
the explanation that it was respon-
sible for his bling indicted for con-
spiracy, had been written and
brought to him by former Auditor
General Snyder, defendant in present
case, for his signature, in which
Lewis was made to say he had GER
titled to bill for $1S7, 1880 paid
to the Pennsylvania Construction
company for metallic filing cases
| which he had found correct.
Lewis testimony followed the in
PRODUCTION of documentary evidence
to show that thousands of dollars
were paid to Sanderson for capitol
furnishings months before their de-
livery, in spite of the fact that GER
tificates of receipt in good condition
were required by law before the
bills .could be approved.
| The testimony of Lewis was direct
and unqualified and was not attack
ed by the defense.
| When the trial is resumed tomor-
row the defense will move that the
court direct the jury to bring in a
verdict of acquittal on the ground
that the commonwealth has not made
out case.
Should the court overrule this mo-
ton, the deefnse will outline its side
to the jury. A large number of wit
nesses have been subpoenaed by the
defense and it is doubtful if the
case will reach the jury before the
middle of next week.

LOW GRADE
ORE PAYS BIG
Some Of Biggest Dividend Payers
Carry Low Values.
A CHANGE IN MINING
Low Grade Mines Sought By
Men of Enterprise.
A CHANGE IN MINING

The evolution of mining furnishes a
splendid example Of progress from the
primitive to the modern. This industry
is but young as compared to its future
possibilities and development, but its
history dates back for centuries, says
a contemporary. For loag period the
mining endeavors of man were so re-
stricted that progress was at a stand
still. Then, almost at a jump, mining
became a worldwide occupation, and the
application Of modern science made pos
sible one Of the greatest Of all indus
tries; that Of digging into the vast
treasury Of Mother Earth.
Among the results that most con-
spicuously mark the latter day advance
ment in mining is the low grade camp.
Today many propositions are being
worked that were passed by not long
ago as impossible. The lure Of high
grade has turned the prospector from
many a fine property, that with an
even chance, would develop into a diyi-
dend payer. And the day is not far dis
tant when the majority Of the dividend
payers will be these same low or me-
dium grade propositions. The solid
mining man is beginning to look for the
many neglected opportunities in low
grade mining He is beginning TO rea-
lie that with proper development ano
equipment the chance Of failure is al.
most eliminated. But this proper de-
yelopment and equipment is where th'
read science of mining comes in. The
economic problem enters strongly here
and the success'of the enterprise Is pro
portionate TO the accuracy with wA.c.
This problem Is solved. Tie saving o..
a few cents per ton in production an'
milling cost means dividends; sliFh
loss means failure. The margin of dit
ference IS often very small.
