RECEPTION
ON BOARD
CRUISER
Admiral Ijichi Entertaina
400 Tacomans in Royal
Style-Japanese Vic
tory Celebrated

Admiral Ijichi aboard the Aso
is this afternoon showing what
Japanese hospitality means to
about 400 invited guests, includ-
ing the governor, mayor and the
local reception committee.
This morning the Aso and Soya
celebrated the great battle by sea,
four years ago today, when Ad-
miral Togo sent the Russian navy
to the bottom of the ocean and
won the greatest naval conflict OF
modern times.
The national anthem, reserved
especially for this day, was rem
dered by the Aso band, the sailors
and cadets were drawn up in line
for q salute and on both ships the
attention of the soldiers of the
Mikado was directed to the ami
versary of the important event in
Japanese history.
The banquet and reception
aboard the Aso this afternoon is
serving as fitting climax to the
days celebration. Everything that
Japanese hospitality can invent has
been provided for the entertain
ment of the American guests.
The ship was closed to the usual
crowd Of visitors while the recep-
ton and banquet was in progress.
Grand illumination Tonight.
There will be a grand illumina-
tion of the ships In the harbor to-
night, and great crowd will be
drawn to the waterfront to witness
it. The sea fighters will be out
lined in thousands of electric
globes, the general effect being
spectacular in the extreme. The
bluffs west of the bay will furn-
ish a splendid tbeater for the oc-
casion, and no doubt this will be
the most popular point Of vantage
for spectators.
Athletic Meet Tomorrow.
Plans have been laid for q big
athletic meet tomorrow, at Ath-
letic park, In which the Japanese
cadets will compete with the stu
dents of the Tacoma High schools,
in races, weight events and jump
ing. The visitors will probably
give some Of their national games
also.
At 2 O'Clock, instead of 2:30,
as formerly announced, the Japa-
nesfi and the team Of the Ameri-
can squadron win cross bats In a
baseball contest.
Plans for the athletic meet are
ia the hands of e. e. Perkins,
trainer at the High school

Drink more milk; save money.
Here's why:
A quart of milk equals In nu--
|tritive qualities one pound OF
meat; 1t equals one and three
quarter pounds of fish; 1t also
equals in food value 80 quarts or
about IS pounds of strawberries.
One pound of meat costs 15
cents; 3-4 pouncs or fish costs
Is cents; at the present price Of
rs cents a box for strawberries
As pounds would cost $6.75.
Three quarts OF good milk at 8
cents a quart would cost "a cents.
The same food value in straw

Statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico.

We do not understand why
or neighbors in New Mexico
aad Arizona should deem it nee
essary to continue a campaign
for statehood. The claims of
these territories for admission to
the Union are so manifestly
right and just that there should
be no opposition in congress to
their erection into states, as
there is none in the country at
large.
Further, about everybody who
has a voice in the matter seems
to be pledged to statehood. Since
the serious breach between the
president and congress has oc-
Cured, it is barely possible tina t
congress may postpone the mat
ter until Mr.. Roosevelt's term of
Office expires, as he has express
sed himself as ardently in favor
of their admission. That the
territories will be admitted to
the Union as states at an early
day seems to the Times to be
assured.
The failure of congress to do
this would be gross disregard
Of every principle of justice.
The anxiety of the citizens of
the territories is natural and
doubtless will continue until the
act is passed. Congress is not
justified, whatever may be its
grievance against the president,
In further postponing the matter
and we believe we voice the sen.
timeht of the citizens of all the
states when we say it should
not and we hope will not. Ell

Thousands of settlers on wes-
tern pablic lands will have
trouble in completing their claims
in the United States general
land Office. Many of them,
through no fault nor neglect of
their own, will lose their farms
entirely, together with the i'm
provements they have made on
them. The reason for this situa-
ton is found in the recent clas-
siication by the government ge-
ologists of large areas Of public
lands as coal lands. Lands which
contain deposits of coal, and
which are classified as coal lands,
under the law, cannot be enter
ed as homesteads. Settlers oc.
cupying such land, having not

New Road Bills.

- S'sS H WIS Soo al = oudbOW
of coming events. the time may
not be far distant when the NJ
tional government will be en-
gagged in road building in ever,
state in the country. Some thirty
bills relating to the matter were
introduced during the last SEES
sion. All were referred to com,
mittees and buried in committee
room pieeon-holes. None ha.
got as far as consideration or
the floor, but the discussion Of
the postoifice appropriations fol
the department Of agriculture
gave opportunity for speeches or
the subject.
Some Of the bills introduced
called for the distribution of the
present treasury surplus among
the states exclusively for the
purpose of building roads. Other
called for the creation of a bur.
eau of public highways and for
national aid in road construction
or for state and national cooper
alton. There were calls for a
national highways commission,
for federal loans to states, for
specific appropriations, and Mr..
Cochran, Of New York, proposed
an automobile highway from
coast to coast. About four.htths
.of the proponents represented
districts in the south, an irdica-
ton that state rights are for
gotten when money is wanted
from the federal treasury.
There is no question that
good roads in all parts Of The
country would represent a saw
ing of hundreds Of millions of
dollars to the American people.
There are more that 100000
miles Of roads in the United
States, and less than s per cent
Of the total is in the class known
as improved roads" that is,
treated with macadam, gravel,
sand clay and other material. A
large percentage, perhaps as
much as 80 per cent, of all the
products Of the country, is haul
ed by wagon for a longer or a
shorter distance. Investigation
has shown that the average haul
over wagon roads is eight miles
and the average cost is % cents
a ton mile, 1t is asserted that
good roads would reduce this
cost to 10 cents ton mile. The
saving on corn also is estimated
at Sl2,7OO, 600 a year, wheat $l0,-
go, GOO, and on cotton $1,000, eco.
This enormous economy of good
roads is so obvious that argument
of the matter is superfuous, but
it would cost about $l,0OO,OO0,-
600 to macadamize our entire
system. There are cheaper but
still effective systems, known as
sand clay roads and burnt clay
roads, the cost Of which is from
500 to $500 a mile. The appeal
to the central government is
made mainly on the ground that
the communities most in need of
good roads are least able to pay
for them.

CIGARMAKER
 ENDS LIFE BY
 WHALING GAS

New Haven, Sept. I-By inhaling illuminating gas in his room on the top floor of the house at 186 Scranton street last evening Robert Brenneke, Nffty-one years of age, a cigar maker by trade, ended his life. Brenneke lived with two unmarried daughters in the Scranton street house and he was found almost dead by them when they returned from a visit they had been making. They notified Patrolman Smith of the Howard avenue police station and he summoned the ambu- lance of the New Haven hospital. The man was in a dying condition, how ever, and despite all that could be done for him he died before the am- bulance arrived.
