Russians to Be imported.

Honolulu Sept. 4.-The territoria
board of immigration has decided to
attempt the solution of the labor prob
lem in the Hawaiian group by the i'm
portation of Russian families from
Manchuria. L. C. Atkinson, agent of
the board, sailed for Harbin TODAY on
the liner Siberia and is expected to.
make arrangements for the immigra-
tion of so such families to Hawaii.
If the experiment proves successful,
it is probable that many more Rus
sian families will be induced to settle
in the islands.

Paris, Sept. Serum and vaccine
for treatment of cholera has been dis
covered by DR.. Salambini, working un-
der the direction of Professor Metch-
nikoff and DR.. Pierce Roux. Their
serum has been tried in Russia in des-
perate cases and reduced the death
rate, which was so per cent, to below
23 per cent. The vaccine is prepared
by taking bacilli from the body of a
cholera patient and making culture
thereof, which is injected subcutane-
ously into healthy persons. Local in
fection follows and immunity results.

COOKS RETURN
TO BE TRIUMPH.
Arctic Club Prepares Great National
Tribute to Explorer.
Honors Will Be Bestowed in Other
Countries-Taft viii Be Asked to
Honor Man Who Hoisted Flag
Over Polar Continent-Constitu-
Will Follow Flag.

New York, Sept. 4.-Preparations'
already are on foot to make the home
coming of DR.. Frederick A. Cook an
event of national, and possibly inter-
national Importance. If plans outlined
today by members of the Arctic club
are carried out, the welcome DR.. Cook
will receive in New York will be an
ovation in which city, state and nation,
will take part, while prominent explor-
ers-Cook's former rivals-from all
parts of the globe, will gather to pay
personal tribute to his achievements.
Members of the Arctic club hopse
President TAFT may be present. "Such
an honor would be no more than fit
ting" one declared, Gin view of the
fact that the explorer has placed the
Stars and Stripes on the apex of the
world and added perhaps 60, square.
miles to the nations territory
Among the explorers who are ex-
pected to take a prominent part are.
the Duke d'Abruzzi, DR.. Nansen, Cap
tain Ronald Amundsen, General A. w.
Greeley, Rear Admiral George Mel
vile, Anthony Fiala and Captain JOS
eph E. Bernier.
Captain Bradley S. Osborne, secre-
tary of the Arctic club, says the ex-
plorer is not expected here for several
weeks.
"He is due in Copenhagen in three.
days." said Captain Osborne, "and if
he came straight home would arrive in
New York about the middle of Septem-
ber, but his friends believe that he
may make several stops on the way.
For one thing the geographers and sci
entists of Copenhagen will tender him
a welcome. He may 60 to Christiana
to meet Captain Amundsen discoverer-
of the Northwest passage; it is likely
that he will visit Belgium where he
has been decorated for his services to,
science and it is scarcely conceivable
that the British geographical societies
would allow him to pass them on his
way home without an invitation to-
London"

Canada Won't RetaIiate

Montreal, Sept. Awhile it is true
that there is resentment in this coun-
try over the new provisions of the
Payne tariff affecting the pulp and pa
per industry, it is felt both at Ottawa
and Quebec that nothing can be gained
by imposing export duties. The gov
ernment it is announced will not take
any retaliatory action in this direction.
and any legislation it may enact will
be directed rather to final settlement
than to aggravating the difficulties.

at all cost the position the government
is likely to take in the matter, and or

Our Own Enterprise.

Grants Pass is now TO take lls
lace as one Of the most progressive
cities in Oregon. Its people nave
had the courage to undertake single
handed and alone the building OF
great system OF irrigation canals ana
will from now on keep in the middle
OF the road that leads to prosperity
The history Of this home irrigation
enterprise, II written, would READ
like a romance. The old saying that
God helps those that help them
selves has certainly come true IN
this case. When the time arrived
for work the best men In the county
came forward and reported for duty
They did not hesitate, but almost as
one man a hundred citizens took up
the burden. The first $4,000 sub
scribed led the way to victory. Other
thousands will come on call and the
canals TO distribute the water among
our farms will be built without de-
lay.
This is a nome enterprise under
taken by our own people and for
their own benefit. The value OF
water on the farms of the Rogue
River Valley can hardly be over
estimated. But it is safe to say that
this undertaking will add more than
$10,00O,O00 to the farms in Jose
phine County and this increase in
value will accrue to the men who
own the irrigated lands.
The city of Grants Pass, the
county seat of Josephine County, has
been doing its full share of the work
of irrigation and can be counted
upon to go forward to the finish
There never was in any country any
thing started which found a larger
percentage OF the population ready
and willing to encourage and do
their part than was found here in
Grants Pass and in the country
which surrounds it. There wae, OF
course, knockers" but these were
insignificant in numbers and could
only bring ridicule upon themselves
