SENATOR HEPBURN
STRIKES BACK
Tells Senator Page OF Vermont
How We Grow In Sunny
Idaho.

WASHINGTON. d. c., July IL
With the manner of one making a
hit Senator Page, of Vermont, fred
at Senator Hepburn, of Idaho, some
Idaho statistics of last February with
the suggestion that they were up to
date. But the stalwart senator from
the Occur d'Alene country came back
with this view of things:
Idaho ten days ago Is not the
Idaho of today. The senator prob
ably does not realize that; but when
be sees a city, the county seat of a
new county, that is not two years
old, nor a year and half old, with
ii 900 people in it, the senator prob
ably will begin to understand some
thing about it. / telegraph when
want to know about Idaho. / do not
even dare trust to the time elapsing
between the mails for fear condi-
lions will change. That is the kind
Of state to live in"
The mere matter of a tooth brush
has gotten Private Joseph Oxen, of
Company l, Third infantry, into a lot
Of trouble.
Records of his court martial at
Fort George Wright, Washington, re-
ceived at the war department, show
that Joseph has been dishonorably
discharged from the service, forfeit
Ing all pay and allowances due him,
and has been sent to prison for three
months at hard labor-all because
be failed to put tooth brush in his
kit for company formation, then
sassed" his commanding officer
when reprimanded for his derelic-
lion.

the Japanese TASTE" said Chubei
Itch, member of a large wooden
and cotton exporting and importing
nrm of Osaka. now stopping in
Washington. 1T is because the
manufacturers of wooden and cotton
goods in America do not care to cater
to the demands of the Japanese for
color and texture that we buy most
thirty years my house has been buy
Ing from wooden houses in Manches-
ter, and not a cents worth do we get
rom America. The manufacturers
here could establish a market in
Japan II they were to study condi-
lions there, / believe, but so far as
can observe there has never been
any effort made in this direction"
Mr.. Itch is on his way to England.
he spoke lightly of the possibility OF
conflict between Japan and America,
saying that the Japanese are more
interested in America than in any
Other country.
japanese who can afford 1t are
sending their bows to American edu-
eational institutions rather than to
me older and more famous schoals
ot Europe" said Mr.. Itch. This. ii
seems to me, is pretty good evidence
81 the friendly feeling of Japan for
America"
