A ROYAL WELCOME.
Shown the American Fleet By
japanese Government
ENTERTAINED in GREAT STYLE
Tremendous Procession of Miles of
lNadly- Cheering People Reviewed
by Admiral Sperry and the Ameri-
can Fleet officers.

Tokio, By Cable.-The capitol of
Japan witnessed Thursday night the
most extraordinary evidence of the
spirit of the new Japan. After hav-
ing an audience Of the officers of the
American battleship fleet on Tuesday
the Emperor issued an order directing
the people to increase in every way
possible, the enjoyment and pleasure
of the American visitors, who came,
he said, as historic friends of the
japanese nation. The response to
this imperial mandate was seen and
heard at night.
! Originally a torchlight procession
Of $4,000 people was planned as Part
of the days programme, bat this
feature went far beyond expectations
and developed into a great popular
demonstration. Japan's war celebra-
tions after peace with Russia, Sion
don's Mafeling Night" and even
New York's election night revel
would seem almost insignificant COM
pared with Tokio's celebration.
Mile after mile through madly-
cheering people, the great procession
wound its way. Representatives Of
various guilds, universities, schools
Of every class for boys and other
organizations took part, each individ-
ual carrying lighted lantern held
high on long pole with American
and japanese flags interwound.
Admiral Sperry and the other chief
officers of the American fleet viewed
the procession from special grand
stand, standing with barred heads
above the sea of waving lanters,
the deafening roar of cheers and The
clash of the music from scores Of
bands which played the American
national hymn continuously. So
dense became the crowds around the
stand that the entire procession was
J blocked until Admiral Sperry was
forced to leave in order to keep an
engagement at the dinner given by
! Minister of Foreign Affairs Komura.
Again at the American embassy
the great procession halted and the
climax of the enthusiasm was reach

and gave out this problem;
IF half gill costs a half a mill,
what will pint cost?"
On the back seat a little freckle-
faced boy with one front tooth missing
scrlbbled away like mad, then folded
his hands and sat up.
"Ah, said the board member, there
is a bright little boy who has finished
the problem already. Bring me your

HARTMAN AFTER
NEVADA FREIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, July 17.-Thc
Southern Pacific has plotted, sub.
divided, and yesterday placed on sale
several thousand acres of it's land IN
Nevada in the district now known as
the Truckee river irrigation project,
on which the government has recent
ly expended about 100000.
The land in that territory has
three classes of owners, private per-
sons owning small tracts; the COVE n
ment, which has already disposed OF
a large part of its holdings; and the
railroad company, which has not be-
fore released any of its lands to pros
pective settlers.
The company proposes to restrict
It's sales to bona fide settlers, as 1t
wants traffic from future farms. IL
is selling the land at nominal figure
with the cast-iron proviso that tho
buyer must become a cultivator and
a resident The Southern Pacific
lands are along the Fallon branch
near the towns of Fallon and Hazcn.
In the irrigation district the railroad
proposes to create new district to
be called Fernley.
Each person will be restricted to
about eighty acres, and the purcha;e
will carry with it the privilege u
water supplied by the government,
which has certain regulations re-
specting settlers and encourages the
small holder on the theory that with
such land and abundant water
thrifty family can easily sustain tsc f
on eighty acres. The district will tie
