WATCHED By
EUROPE
IN WASHINGTON GET
TIP THAT CELESTIAL EMPIRE
is TO PURCHASE ARMY AND
NAVY SUPPLIES IN AMERICA.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 15.-Con-
tracts involving the purchase of more
than $20,000,00O of war munitions
and battleships will be made by
China within the next six months
Official information to this effect is
daily expected. These contracts, it
is stated, are merely the first batch
made necessary by China's plans to
build a great navy and enlarge its
army Baron Liang, son of Sir Chen
tung Liang Cheng, former Chinese
minister to this country, heads the
imperial commission which will ar
rive in the United States in two
weeks Its purpose is to report upon
the advisability of placing the orders
with American firms.
China Keeps Plans Secret.
Secrecy surrounds China's new
policy of modernism in relation to its
army and navy. Minister WI Tung
Fang seems to know little about
what goes on in his country, and this
is because it is the custom OF the
Chinese government never to ac-
quaint it's diplomatic representatives
with it's general plans, except in cases
of emergency. German, British and
French diplomats at Washington are
better posted, and the powers are
studiously acQuainting their embas-
sizes here with all International mat
ters in which the United States fig
ures.
China has considered the advis-
ability of getting a large navy and
extending the usefulness of its army
which is under German tutelage. It's
present footing is 100000 men
while the war reserve is eight times
greater. Chinas policy is to have
standing peace army of about l.
100000 men.
Wants American Built Ships.
The Celestial empire has been i'm
pressed with the results of American
built warships 1t is SO well satisfied
that British influence in favor of Eng
lish built men-of-war has hardly
made a dent in the original idea OF
investing in America. England and
perhaps other nations viii have a
share in the sale of armament, but
the United States occupies the fore
most place.
The plans of China to increase its
military and naval forces entail an
expenditure of $200,0O0,oo0-

FIVE YEARS
BONDS
CITY COUNCIL TO. DEFRAY ALL
FURTHER EXPENSE OF STREET
IMPROVEMENT AND SEWERS
BY OTHER THAN DIRECT TAXA
ALTON.

The city officials have been asked
repeatedly during the past two or
three weeks as to the purposes of the
council in defraying the costs of the
proposed sewer system. and the new
streets which are to be improved
early next spring. The improve
ments in the past necessarily had 70
be paid for by direct assessment. I'm
provement warrants and bonds could
not be handled. Since the improve
ment of the avenue and consequent
betterment of the city it is now
easier to handle such bonds. 1t is
the purpose of the city council to de-
fray the costs of any further i'm
provements in the streets and in the
sewer systems by five-year bonding
plan. 1t is thought that there will be
no further difficulty in disposing of
bonds for this purpose.
A very extensive sewerage system
has been outlined by Engineer Ward
and 1t is expected that all the red tape
incidental to getting it through the
council in the form Of resolutions and
ordinances will be perfected this win
ter and active work can be started in
the spring The districts on B, c, D
and E streets with the. cross streets
are expected to be made into an i'm
provement district and the cost of i'm
proving this is planne1 to be made by
five-year bonds.

III. A. CHAPLIN OWNS RANCH ON
CASTLE ROCK AVENUE MAX
ING BIG YIELD FROM -FOUR
AND FIVE YEAR OLD TREES.

H. A. Chaplin of Castle Rock avenue
has ten acres OF trees that are now
only four and five years old but will
net the owner $1,70O, after paying
expenses of picking, packing and mar
keting. His Rome Beauties and
Stayman Winesaps will average about
three boxes per tree. Mr.. Chaplin
bought this place of the Wenatchee
Development company five years ago,
paying for it the sum of 1925 per
acre. His place is now worth about
$4,000 per acre but he says he has
no desire to sell as he knows of moth
ing which will return better profits
on the aomunt invested than a We
natchee valley orchard.

G. \. REWARDS
ODESSA
NEW $4,000 PASSENGER STA
TIOE TO BE BUILT-PRESI-
DENT l.. w. HILL SAYS BUSI.
NESS MERITS REWARD.

Seattle, Oct. 15.-It took the lit
tie city of Odessa, Lincoln county,
just 10 minutes to secure a new pas
senger station and this was accom-
plished without any formal request
to the Great Northern railway. The
Odessa passenger station has been
very inadequate but the business men
and residents refused to make any
complaints. The question was taken
up by the chamber of commerce. but
that body decided that they would
leave it to the railroad company as
they would know when conditions
would justify a new station.
Even when the members of the
state railroad commission recently
visited Odessa and made an
inspection of the station no complaint
was made to them.
President l.. W. Hill of the Great
Northern heard by letter Of the COZ
servatism of the business men and
residents and Immediately wired au-
thorization for the construction of a
$4,000 passenger station. He gave
notice that the residents of Odessa
would be given the opportunity to
made suggestions as to the general
plans of the structure.
"If $4,000 Is not enough we will
give them more" said Mr.. Hill, who
expressed the opinion that such con-
servatism should be rewarded.
Odessa is the shipping point of an
enormous wheat district and last
year the Great Northern from this
point received tonnage estimated at
nearly $2,500,0O0.
The new station will be Of brick
construction and modern in every de-
tail. The plan will be completed as
soon as possible in order that work
may be started on the building this
year.

TREES ON WHISNAND RANCH
WEST UF TOWN ARE so HEAVI-
WEEPING WILLOWS.

If w. e. Whisnand desires to ap-
propriately name his orchard he
might call it the Weeping Willow
ranch. If one desires to name it from
the appearance OF the trees, which
are SO heavily loaded down with ap-
Piles that they are spread all over
the ground. He has six acres of trees
which will net the owner $4,500
after paying expenses of picking
packing and marketing. There are
ten acres altogether in the place, for
which Mr.. Whisnanj was offered So
600 per acre but refused because the
other fellow wanted him to throw in
his automobile for good measure.

L. C. Wise of the Cottage Grove
ranch has 10 acres of six year old
trees of the Black Ben and Stayman
Winesap variety that will net the
owner $4,000 after paying the ex-
penses of picking. packing and mar
keting. Mr.. Wise bought the prop
erty of G. w. Stetson, paying for i:
the sum OF $4,000. The trees are
still young and in two or three years
time will be netting a much higher
return than they are at the present
time

HAY To DEP ART
FOR EAST
TO ATTEND LAKES TO THE GULF
WATERWAYS CONGRESS AT ST.
LOUIS-STUDY NEEDS OF OPEN
RIVER LEGISLATION,

Seattle, Oct. 15.-Governor Hay,
accompanied by Mrs. Hay and Adju-
tant General George B. Lamping,
will depart next Tuesday for ST.
Louis. where the governor and adju-
tant general will attend the Lakes to
Gulf Waterways congress. President
Taft, thirty-seven governors, and
congressman and senators have sig
nified their intention of attending the
congress.
The entire party will leave ST.
Louis October 25, ON the trip down
the Mississippi river on six large
river steamers. The first stop will
be at Cairo, where the president will
make speech. The next is to be at
Vicksburg and then the party will
move on to New Orleans. President
Taft will go to Jackson, attending the
festival there.
Governor Hay has not yet decided
whether he will leave the party at st.
Louis, making the way by rail 70
Jackson. or whether he will be among
the number to go down ON the steam
ers. No arrangements have been
made for the wives of the guests OF
the waterway commission, SO it is
probable that Governor Hay will ac-
company Mrs Hay to Jackson.
The purpose of the congress is the
furthering of a plan to build and i'm
prove the waterway from the Great
lakes to New Orleans.

Money Accounted For. Says Snow.
II have but little to say regarding
the matter at this time" said former
Commissioner of Highways J. NJ.
Snow. in regard to the foregoing dis
patch, last night. They have stated
their side of the case, and when the
proper time comes I will beable to
clear up, to the satisfaction of all,
any misunderstanding that may exist.
Regarding my taking the vouch-
ers, I will say this: When I left
Olympia / took the duplicates with
me for the purpose Of checking up
my accounts. After I had removed
my family from Seattle to Spokane
found that by mistake l had taken
both the originals and duplicates.
They had been mixed without my
knowledge. and / discovered 1t thirty
days after my retirement.
"All of the $4,000 which was paid
the state by the Milwaukee for the
use of the state road was used in the
repair of roads in the Snoqualmie
pass, with the exception of $4,000.
which I stand ready to turn over to
the state highway commissioner upon
the presentation to me of legal au-
thority that he Is entitled to receive
the money. Further than this have
nothing to say at the present time"

HOLDS
$4,000 ROAD
MONEY
BUT FORMER COMMISSIONER OF
STATE ROADS SAYS HE WILL
TURN 1T OVER-DEAL WAS
FOR $4,000.

Olympia, Oct. 15.-By his own
written admission Joseph M. Snow,
former highway commissioner, has in
his possession about $4,000 belong
ing to the state. Although his re-
questei resignation of the Office took
effect August ] it was not until Gov
ernor Hay had given out the state
ment that the books were being ex-
ported and that Snow had failed to
account for certain funds that the for
mer highway commissioner made any
reference to this retained money.
Governor Hay, through Highway
Commissioner Henry L. BOwlby, had
called upan Snow to report as to the
status of $4,000 paid Snow for the
state by the Milwaukee road for the
right to use part of a state road near
Lake Keechelus, and Snow paid no
attention to the demand. Then the
state bureau of accountancy called
upon Snow to submit his vouchers
and correspondence respecting this
deal, papers which Snow had taken
from the highway Office when he left
here.
Today State Auditor Clausen re-
ceived a letter written by Snow at
Spokane in which the former official
writes that he is forwarding by ex-
press both vouchers and the CORES
pondence.
In addition. Snow says that these
vouchers cover the entire amount re-
ceived from the Milwaukee, except
about $4,000. Snow says he has this
$4,000 in his possession and is ready
to turn it over to any person entitled
to receive it.
That snow has failed to turn over
any actual coin to his successor was
a surprise to the many local friends
of the former commissioner Bowlby
was not in Olympia on August I to
take over the Office. nor was it known
that day when he would arrive. Snow
left on receiving advice from the at
torney general that his resignation
prevented his performing any duties
after August 1, whether Bowlby was
on hand to receive the office or not
But weeks have passed and the ex-
planation why in the interval the for
mer commissioner failed to make any
report or to turn over his cash and
why he thought it advisable to carry
away the vouchers and other corre-
spondence relative to the matter is
lacking.

MORE THAN
100000
INDIANS
POPULATION OF RED MEN HAS
INCREASED ABOUT 10000 DUR
ING THE LAST DECADE-MIL-
LIONS SPENT BY GOVERNMENT

Washington, D. c., Oct. 15.-The
popular idea that the American In
dams are decreasing in number is
dissipated by official figures showing
that today there are more than 3O0.-
600 red men in the United States.
The increase in population Of
about 10000 during the last two de-
cades is attributed to the govern
ment's constant effort to uplift the
Indian to the level of contemporary
civilization The government is not
only providing this race with its
powerful protection, but is providing
every means for the upbuilding ana
enlightenment of the race and is in
iecting into the Indians daily life
civilized customs and modern meth
DDS
Three and one-third million dollars
is being expended by the United
States annually for the education of
more than 10000 Indian boys and
girls.
System of ApportiOning Lands.
Looking to the broader and prac-
tical education of the Indian, the
government is extending its system
of apportioning lands. The cultivd-
tion of these allotments by the In
dians. or the letting of them for
short periods to white persons for
farming or grazing, is matter tow
ard which the Indian service is d.
recting much attention.
To encourage the industry OF the
Indian the government has found
feasible the plan to cut down the
number of approved leases on Indian
allotments, and thousands of Indians
have been found competent to con-
duct their own affairs free from gov
ernmental control.
During the present year the leases
approved numbered about 1000 less
than during 1908. During 1909
about 1000 Indians were given the
privilege of handling their own al
lotments, although the legal title was
retained by the government.
Guarding Against Spectators.
Government officers have not been
unconscious of the methods of the
land spectators who would take ad-
vantage of the Indians ignorance of
business matters, and the department
regards as paramount the problem of
fitting the red man for managing his
own allotments, and for meeting the
every day situations of life in his
association with the white man.
Public men whose work has
brought them into close touch with
the Indians are impressed with the
view that the race is progressing SO
rapidly that eventually the govern
ment will lift its guardianship over
them
Before his retirement from Office
former Indian Commissioner Leuup
asserted that the Indians at no far
distant date would reach such a
standard of civilization that it would
be deemed wise to abolish the Indian
