an increase of $43.67 per capita. July,

Il will not undertake to predict the
wonderful future of Kansas. Very few
commemorative or provinces in the his
tory of the civilized world have accom-
Plished more than has Kansas within
the few years of its existence. 1t has
not been the first consideration of the
Kansas people to seek wealth. This
has been a secondary consideration. Our
first thought is always to improve our
citizenship. and to put forth every eff
fort to make the people of Kansas
nobler, grander and better, ever holding
up strong ideals and striving for per
fiction in citizenship.
I'VE challenge the world along edu-
CationaI ard religious lines. We have
more school houses, school teachers,
churches, ministers of the Gospel,
church members and workers per capita
than any other commonwealth on the
face of the globe.
THE business opportunities in Kan
sas are ample for those who are seek
ing new fields and happiness and pros
ne rity. Farm lands are still very
cheap, and those who are alert to the
opportunities and wise enough to read
the great future in store and invest
in Kansas lands and business enter
prises, win within the next few years
reap abundant and more than satisfac-
tory dividends and results.

La Paz, Bolivia, July 21.-OffciaI cir
cles now admit a rupture has occurred
between Bolivia and the Argentine re-
public and all diplomatic relations have
teen severed.
The recall of the Argentine minister,
Senior Fonseca, who has been stationed
here throughout the disorderly events
leading up to the present crisis was
followed almost simultaneously by the
recall Of the Bolivian minister from
Buenos Ayres- On the departure of the
Bolivian minister from Argentine, he
has been ordered to turn over the
archives to the American, Chilean or
Brazilian legations.
The rupture of diplomatic relations
was announced after extended offcis!
conferences held throughout yesterday,
at which efforts were made to nIte1
the aggressive methods assumed by
Argentina, and at the same time allay
the growing popular agitation in Bo-
livia.
The spirit of the people was shown in
monster petitions asking to be enrolled
in the army, the petitioners asserting
unconditional support of the govern
ment's cause in case of an armed con-
fiict. The feeling that hostilities may
occur is shown by the continued de-
parture of many Argentine and Bo-

PASSING OF TAN BARK.
Lack of Home Supply Eventually
Means a Substitute.

Washington, July 2I.-That the
use of native bark in tanning is dim
inishing, due mostly to its increased
cost, is stated in a preliminary report
on the consumption of tan bark and
tanning extracts for the year 1908,
just made public by the census bu-
reau. With this has come an in
creased consumption OF imported
tanning materials, particularly que
brache, mangroVe and myro balanS.
There is but slight difference in the
figures for the two years, both reIa-
tive to the quantity of tan bark and
tanning extracts consumed and to
the aggregate expenditure by the
tannerieS in their purchase.
The principal tan bark used is
hemIock and oak. During the year
for which the report is made, 1,127,-
400 cords of tan bark were consumed
with a value of $1O,803,437, as
against 1,214,401 with a value of
$11,555,S74 during the preceding
year of 1907. In the matter of tan
ming extracts there was consumed
ued at $10,558,282 against 364,S99,-
539 pounds valued at $9,649,673 for
the year 1907. Chestnut, quebracho,
hemlock, oak and palmetto were the
principal tanning extracts used and
are given in the order of the quantity
consumed.
AS generally unfavorable conditions
were prevalent during the year it is
the belief. of the bureau that the rela-
lively large consumption reported is
to some extent due to the fact that
the canvass was more complete dur
ing the year 1908.
The returns for 1908 were received
from 622 active establishments while
those in 1907 came from only 5S3

NOTED JAPANESE ARRIVES.
Discusses Differences Between His
Country and China.

Victoria, B. c., July 21.-VaIentine
ChiroI, director of the foreign news
service of the London Times, who is
en- route to England from the Orient,
arrived on the Shinino Maru- Mr..
Chirol has had an interview with the
Japanese emperor, and spent con-
siderable time looking into the politi-
cal situation in the Orient.
Speaking with reference to the re-
ply made to Japan by China concern
ing the construction of the AntlIng-
Mukden railroad Mr.. Chirol said that
he considered Japan's actions Won
derfulIy lenient. China had nego-
tiated with two British firms to build
the Fakumen railroad, to which
Japan objected as violating the
Pekin protocol of 1905. under which
China agreed not to build competitive
railroads in Manchuria. Mr.. Chirol
said the contract was given the Brit
ish firm with the hope that thus the
support of Great Britain would be OBJ
tanned, a plan that had failed. There
was irritation over the -obstinacy OF
China guarding this and other ques-
tions when the sudden refusal of the
Chinese to permit to widening of the
gauge of the Antung- Mukden rail
road came up. This has caused bit
ter feeling, which may lead to
trouble.
Mr.. Chirol. who is the author of
notable works on Persia and Central
Asia, is of the opinion that because
of the recent removal of the shah,
settlement of the Persian troubles IS
possible. He said that but for the
Russian Japanese war and the Ango-
Japanese alliance, the recent happen
ings in Persia would probably have
been followed by war between Great
Britain and Russia, and certainly
would have resulted in a situation of
great tension and danger.
