JAPANESE MEET TO
PROMOTE HARMONY
FORMER. MEMBER OF DIET ADJ
DRESSES STUDENTS
Important Speech Delivered in New
York by Tetruzo Etc Translated
to Show True Sentiment
of Nipponese

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Tetruzo Etc
former member Of the Japanese diet
addressed an assemblage Of japanese
students here last night, who met tC
discuss means of promoting harmony
between the orient and the occident
particularly as related to the United
States.
This is the second meeting of its
kind held here recently.
Mr.. Etc spoke in Japanese, which was
translated into English as follows:
"The question of harmony is the most
vital and fundamental one in the solu-
ton of all the differences which have
caused so much agitation. In my judg-
ment some citizens believe enormously
in the impossibilities of harmonizing
the two civilizations.
"They seem to have thought that the
Caucasian was the supreme race anc
that all other races had the faint as
we'll as the tint Of color.
while the Chinese-Japanese wal
made the western races regard us
something different from what they
had first thought, it also had q baf
effect, for it made westerners nervous
and they began to cry about the vel
low peril
yet the westerners who thought thai
Japan was able to beat China because
of the latter's weakness, never thought
Russia would be WHIPPED. This dream
having been broken, then westernerS
now begin to fear us as well as despise
US.
Tells Why We "Fear" Them
"This seems altogether due to theil
mistaken idea that the japanese are
warlike and that harmony of the two
civilizations is impossible.
81 therefore deem it most important
for us to do our best to remove this
misconception. Without doing this, nc
diplomacy can smooth the relations be
tween the countries of different race
and faith. This is not only my belief
but that of many Americans, President
Roosevelt among them.
"Our civilization came from the east
as we'll as from the west, but the first
important and valuable civilization we
secured came from this country through
the visit of Admiral Perry and the in
valuable efforts of Townsend Harris
/ need not say how much we owe this
country The history Of the last fifty
years tells that story.
1--WE must convince the occident that
we are capable of adopting an occident-
al as well as an oriental civilization. We
learned our religion, literature and art
from Korea and China, but today we
are sending our missionaries and tutors
to our former tutors.

ENGINEERS TO YIELD.
Settlement of Miners Differences in
Butte in Sight.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 27.-Although
no definite statements have yet been
made by either side, it developed late
tonight that there is plausible prospect
that the differences existing between
the Brotherhood of Stationary Engin-
eers No. and the Butte Miners union
may be settled, and the miners will re-
turn to their work at the various prop
critics before tomorrow morning.
1t is known that certain overtures
have been made to the engineers by the
officers of the miners union, and it is
quite probable the engineers will make
certain concessions which will be &C.
cepteable to the miners. Whether the
concessions will be permanent, and
whether they will involve a return of
the seeding engineers to the Western
Federation of Miners, it was impossi-
BILE to ascertain.
The adjustment will be reached, it is
believed, without bringing the mining
companies into the controversy, either
as arbitrators or because of their infiu-
ence, and it is highly probable that
there will be nothing for Charles Nov
er, president of the Western Federation
OF Miners, to settle when he arrives.

BURNING LAKE STUDIED.
Adventurous Spirits Go Into Crater of
Active Volcano.

Honolulu, Sept. 27.-L. M. Hale, j.
Reynolds, and Earnest Moses, photo
grapher, descended today into the pit
of the crater of Mount Kilaueau, re-
naming half an hour on the edge of a
burning lake of lava and fire. This is
the first time that this feat has been
accomplished.
The members of the party ventured
almost to the rim of the seething lake
and attempted to take photographs.
The heat was intense and at times the
adventurers walked over partially
molten areas. After completing their
observations, they returned safely to
the rim of the crater, where half a
dozen friends had witnessed the descent.
Kilaueau is one of the largest active
volcanoes in the world, on the east
slope of Maunaloa, Hawaii island. Its
altitude is A 4,400 feet and the circum-
ference of its crater is about nine
miles, with depth varying from TOO
to l, 100 feet, depending upon the level
of the molten lava. Violent eruptions
occurred in 1877, 1874 and 1866, and
since the latter date there have been
several outbreaks of less severity.

BIG FRUIT TRACT BOUGHT.
Eastern Capitalists Purchase 1880
Acres in Rogue Valley.

Grants Pass.-One of the largest
deals to take place in Rogue river fruit
lands occurred a few days ago, when
a representative of Eastern capitalists
purchased the S. II. Riggs property
consisting of 1860 acres. This is one
of the finest bodies of land in the
county, and is supplied with 1000
inches or more of water from the Ap.
plegate river. Its former owners found
much profit in raising three crops of
alfalfa each year, and selling it at from
SIS to $40 ton, but it has now be.
come so profitable to raise fruit that
three hay crops do not produce suf.
ficient revenue to satisfy the fruit
raiser. The buyer and his associates
will take possession of the premises on
the first day of January, and they will
at that time put on large force of
men to lay out the tract in an ideal
manner, with convenient avenues run
ming in every direction, in order to
make it the largest tract of land de-
voted to fruit alone in Rogue river
valley. The entire premises will be
planted as rapidly as possible in
peaches, pears and commercial apples.
This place formerly belonged to Con-
sui II. B. Miller, but last year it was
sold to S. II. Riggs, who kept it nine
months, raised several hundred tons of
alfalfa hay, and sold out at a price up
into six figures.

oregon STATE items OF INTEREST
WILD FRUIT GOOD.
Old Orchards in Coast Range Without
Care Give Fine Results.

Cottage Grove-Lincoln Taylor, who
recently returned from an outing in
the coast mountains, says he found a
great many vacated homes throughout
the section visited by him and the or
chards, planted years ago by the home
steaders, have gone wild and the fruit
is to be found in great abundance.
Bears, coons and other fruit eating
animals have infested the orchards in
many places and the limbs have been
badly broken, but that has not affected
the bearing quality of the trees.
Mr.. Taylor says there is rarely a
case of scale or other disease to be
found on any of the trees, and the cod
lin moth is not in evidence. This is
splendid evidence in favor of the entire
coast range as fruit producing sections.
Henry H. Veatch too. while on a
hunting trip on Cedar creek, about
eight miles from Cottage Grove, came
upon splendid orchard that had been
entirely taken by the fir timber. He
brought out fair samples of the apples,
which surpass anything to be found on
the lower levels in size, color and aro-
matte excellence. The fruit resembles
the Gravenstein quite strongly, but is
more highly colored and measures
more than 10 inches in circumference.
On the William Landess ranch, just
east of town, there is fine Crawford
peach orchard in the fir timber which
is heavily laden with beautiful fruit.

Omaha Strike Nears End

Omaha, Sept. 27.-Chances of end
ing the streetcar employees strike
seemed favorable tonight. President
Wattles, of the car company, after a
meeting with the municipal officials
tomorrow, will make a plain state
ment of what conditions would be &C.
ceptable to the company. The strik-
ing employees, he says, will be given
an opportunity to accept his conditions.
In disturbance just before the cars
stopped running for the day, James
Murphy. a conductor, was knocked
down and seriously injured.

Irrigation Near Vale.

Vale-D. M. Brogan, the Seattle
capitalist, who is constructing large
irrigation project on Willow creek
about "a miles from Vale, is meeting
with great success and encouragement
in the reclamation of 10000 acres of
land just north of the project recently
rejected by the government because OF
lack of funds. Several ranches have
been purchased from settlers and three
reservoirs will be constructed, the
water to be taken from Willow creek
and its tributaries. A railroad is be-
ing built from Vale to Brogan, the
townsite of the project.

Congress With Cups.
Billings, Mont, Sept. 27.-Five sill.
yer cups, aggregating 1920 in value,
will be features of the list of prizes
offered by James ]. Hill, chairman OF
the board of directors of the Great
Northern railway, for best exhibits at
the international Dry Farming exposi-
tion which will be held at Billings,
Montana, October 25-29, in connection
with the Fourth Dry Farming congress,
October 1928. George ]. Ryan, gen.
eral industrial agent of the Great
Northern, has sent to the headquarters
of the congress at Billings list of the
prizes and the conditions under which
they will be awarded. The aggregate
value of all the prizes is 1000. This
award by Mr.. Hill is similar to that
made by him in the case of the Omaha
Corn exposition, with the exception
that the cup feature is made a special
one in favor of the Dry Farming con-
gress. In regard to the cash prizes,
Oregon, Washington and Montana are
given the same list, thereby eliminat-
ing the competition of one state against
another where conditions for certain
crops might be better in one state than
the other.
