HENEY GETTING
 IN READINESS

When the steamship Pennsylvania sails from here on February s, she will have the first consignment of horses and supplies for the extension of the Copper River railroad. M J. Heney. the contractor for the Copper River road, says on every boat fol- lowing more horses will be sent north
 By the time the first consignment of stock reaches Cordoya," said MT. Heney, our snow blow will have cleared the road to Abercgombie can, yon. The first teams sent up will be used to take feed and camp eQuipage to Teikheu river, fifty miles above ,ae present terminus. These way sta- tlous will then become the bases of supply and thereafter the other teams will be used to carry supplies and tools to these camps. By the time the river breaks and the frost is out can easily send crews out to these
 mps, and complete the fifty miles ol railroad much earlier than would be the case did I wait for the open  ing of navigation to take in the sup plies The boats of the company will then be free to distribute supplies along the Copper and Chitiua rivers for the construction work that win follow next season.''-Seattle P,-I

A WASTEFUL NATION.

The recent report Of the National Conservation Commission. submitted to congress by President Roosevelt with a message supporting some ol it's recommendations, directed atten ton to certain wastetul practices which are almost beyond belief
 Tbe report declares that the waste in the extraction and treatment Of minerar products in 1907 was cQuiva- lent to more than Saoo,OOo.ooO. The daily waste of natural gas is over I,OOO,o0O.OOO cubic feet, representing a value in 1907 Of approximately $62, OoO,OOO. The per capita consumption of coal in the United States. is five tons, and the waste is nearly three tons per capita. Of the direct and indirect loss of s45O.OOO.OOO through fires in 1907. the commission says at least four-Hfths. or an average Of about SI.OOO.OoO day could have been prevented.
 In the matter of farm products. in- furious mammals are responsible for an annual waste of s13O,OOO,OOO; loss through plant diseases reached sever al hundred million dollars; loss due to insects is estimated at s659 .OOO,OOO Damage by birds, losses due to the

THE YELLOW PERIL AGAIN.

Once more proposed anti.Japanese legislation in California is arousiug the autmoslty of the Japanese people and press and causing considerable anxiety iu diplomatic circles in our national capital. With his usual ac, uuty, President Roosevelt has stepped into the arena and ou his ad- vice Governor Gulett of California has advised the legislature of his state to defer action.
 For the past few years there has been considerable agitation of The Yellow Peril" question, Government officials, sociologists, army officers aud diplomats of both Japan and the United States have coujured visions of a bloody strife between the two nations and predicted that hosuuues would commence anywhere from two to two hundred years hence.
 As matter of fact there seems to be little ukuhood of war between this country and Japan. In the first place Japan. though its people are martial and vain glorious, is far too wise to pick a scrap with Uncle sam, An questions of military supremacy aside Japan has not the financial rc- courses to enable it to carry On a protracted struggle. Then again sev- eral thousand miles of water separate the two nations. Such war must consist almost wholly of naval en- agreements. for the land battles would have to be confined to the Philippine islands or Hawaii
 It may be that Japan covets the Philippines: it may be that the little yellow men aspire to founding a world wide empire; it may be that they would drive all the white races from the or,eut;-but common sense shows that the prospect of a war between Japan and this country is a most remote contingency.
 Nevertheless Japaus indignation against the proposed legislation in California is largely justinablc. So is the anxiety of Prseident Roosevelt to prevent the proposed action which will prove iuimical to the present friendly relations between the two nations. The CaHiorniaus have never given either the Chinese or the Japs a square deal and the nation at large will be well pleased if the federal government can prevent the southern state from doing anything rash.
 But as, for The Yellow PeriI'-it is to laugh.

Bonaparte as a Deadhead.

Frederic Febvre publishes in the

Theatre Francois. 1t runs as follows:
pass the citizen Bonaparte to this
evenings performance of 'Manilus.'-
Talma."
This shows, of course, that the En-
peror Napoleon when he was only a
lieutenant of artillery was very glad
of orders" for the theater. NJ. Febvre
adds story which he heard from Tai
mas son to the effect that the future
ruler Of France used to lie in wait for
the tragedian in the galleries of the
Palais Royal and that the tragedian
used often to whisper to his compan-
ion: "The other way, If you don't

I'm afraid he'll ask me for seats"
