JAPAN ABOUT To
ANNEX COREA
IMPORTANT CONFERENCE
HELD IN TOXIC TODAY
Present Dual Form of Government in
Corea is not Satisfactory-Said to
be Extensive and Unwieldy-Pralse
for Japanese Domination.

Toxic, March S.-An important ex-
ecutive conference of Japanese Of
ficials, in which the Corean Home
Minister participated, was held to-
day. While no official information
was given out 1t is believed that the
annexation OF Corea was the sub
ject under discussion.
1t is declared by those high in au-
thority that the present dual govern
ment in Corea is not only Intellectual
but expensive. The Coreon officials
declare that unrest among the Cor
cans is evident on all sides and that
the only possible way to secure pros
perity to his countrymen would be the
Capitalization of their efforts under
the orderly and decided control of a
single government.
The minister highly praised the i'm
provements and general betterment
Of conditions in Corea under the guild
ance of the Japanese. He said that
the native Christians in Corea. acting
under the direction of certain mis-
sionaries were seriously hampering
the work of the government and
were fostering the spirit of revolu-
tion.

UMAT|LLA MEN
ARE PRAISED
WALLA WALLA CITY COUNCIL
PASSES RESOLUTIONS
Governor Chamberlain, Senator Smith
and Representative Barrett Praised
for Permitting Walla Walla to
Protect Its Water Supply from Con-
tamination.

Governor Chamberlain, State Sem
ator Smith and Representative Bar
rett are specially mentioned in reso-
lutions passed by the city council of
Walla Walla in appreciation of the
action taken by the recent legislature
whereby the Garden City was per-
mitted to acquire land in this state
to protect its water supply. Though
Walla Walla is in Washington, its
water comes largely from this state
and prior to the convening of the re-
cent legislature the city was power
less to protect it's water source, on
this side of the line, from contamina-
ton. Through the efforts of Senator
Smith and Representative Barrett,
this defect was remedied:
The resolution in question is as fol-
lows:
Whereas, The legislature of the
state of Oregon has passed bill al
lowing municipal corporations in the
state of Washington to acquire and
hold lands in the state of Oregon for
water works purposes; and
Whereas, By the passage of said
bill there has been conferred upon
the city of Walla Walla, Washington,
certain powers that will prove OF
great value;
Therefore, Be it resolved by the
mayor and city council of the city
of Walla Walla that the thanks of
this municipality be and the same are
hereby extended to all members of the
Oregon legislature, and especially to
his excellency, Governor George E.
State Senator C. j..
Smith and Hon. c. A. Barrett, for their
assistance in securing the passage of
said act by the state legislature of the
state Of Oregon.
Passed the council March 1909.

FILIPINO PREACHER QUITS;
FORMS NEW METHODISTS

Manila-Nicholas Seamora, a
leading Filipino preacher, has with
drawn from the Methodist Episcopal
church and with a thousand followers
organized the Evangelical Methodist
church of the Philippines. 1t is plan
ned to elect Rev. Mr.. Seamora bishop
of the new organization. Two native
ministers and a dozen local preach
ers in the Methodist Episcopal church
have Joined the movement. 1t is pos
sible that a similar movement will be
started in the Presbyterian church.
There appears to be no doctrinal diff
ferences between Mr.. Seamora and his
followers and the Methodist Episcopal
faith, and apparently they were actu-
ated only by the desire for a COM
pletely Independent organization.

pneumonia might be avoided. These
troubles are simply the result Of
weakness. which produces a catarrhal
condition Of the mucous membrane
which is an internal skin Of the body.
When this skin is weakened, it be-
comes infected with germs which are
carried through the system by the
blood. These parasites attack and
break these delicate tissues and set
up a soreness which produce what is
IN reality an external scrofula
The only thing that will cure
coughs and colds and prevent pneu-
monla is medication which is abb
esorbed and carried by the blood so
that the diseased membrane is disin-
fected. cleaned, soothed and healed.

Oldest Land in the Word.

Stretching across Canada,
north of the st. Lawrence, and
ending in the regions about the
source of the Mississippi, is a
range Of low granite hills called
the Laurentian Highlands.
These hills are really mountains
that are almost worn out, for
they are the oldest land in
America and, according to Ag-
assiz, the oldest in the world.
In the days when there was
nothing but water on the face
of the globe, these mountains
came up a long island of pri-
mitive rock with universal
ocean chatting against it's shores
None Of the other continents
had put in their appearance at
the time America was thus
looking up. The United States
Oegan TO come to light by the
gradual uplifting Of this land
to the north and the appearance
of the tops of the Alleghanies,
which were the next in order.
Later the Rockies started up.
The United States grew south
ward from Wisconsin and west
ward from the Blue Ridge. An
carly view of thecountry would
have showed a large island
which is now northern Wiscon-
sin, and a long thin lounge of
this primitive rock sticking
down from Canada into Mime
sofa, and these two growing
states looking out over the
waters at the mere beginnings
of mountain ranges east and
west. They were waiting for
the rest of the United States to
appear. Atlantic Monthly.

DISTRICT COURT ATLOGAr
Railroad Men Resist Assign
ment of Merchants Ac-
counts.

Logan, Ia, Sept. 16-With
Judge Thornell presiding court
convened Tuesday. There are
eighty equity cases, ninety-twc
law cases and twenty criminal
cases and fifty eight probate
cases on the docket. Three
test cases are being brought
gainst the Northwestern Rail-
road company. Hood and Ber-
ry, one a locomotive engineer
and the other a machinist,
bring action to collect wages
due them from the Northwes-
tern Railroad company the
company refusing to pay be-
cause it is garnished in . suit
before a justice of peace in
Kansas City, Mo. based on ac-
counts assigned to Kansas City
parties by Missouri Valley
merchants Of Harrison county
Iowa.
The engineer and machinist
setup the claim that the ac-
counts assigned by the Iowa
merchants were assigned in
violation Of Iowa statutes,
which make it a misdemeanor
to send a claim against a resi-
dent debtor outside of the state
for collection, and deprives the
debtor of this state of his legal
rights in such matters.
The third case is brought bv
ID. H. NAPLES to collect $1,000
damages for injuries received
while in the employ of the
Northwestern company as a
section hand through the alleg-
ed carelessness of other en-
ployes of the company. 1t is
thought that the company de-
clines to settle with NAPLES be-
cause of a late decision that
railroad companies are not re-
soonsib!e for the carelessness
of employees except in the man
agement of trains.

"The North Pole having been

North Pole will have to deter
mine whether they will stand
by those old moss backs, Cannon

they will be up to date insur-

Marriage Anniversary.

Capt. j. d. Brown and his ex-
cellent wife celebrated their for
tieth marriage anniversary on
Sunday last, and to make it a
little more natural to have wit
nesses to the ceremony, invited
Mrs. G. C. Lahman and d. M.
Harris to be present.
Just 30 years ago, on Sept.
10Th, Capt. j. D. Brown lead to
the marriage alter Miss Fannie
Moves, of Worcester, Mass, to
be united in holy bonds of we'd
lock, and soon after they made
their way to this city, then in
in its infancy, and took possess
ion of the home already pre-
pared for their reception, on
3rd street, where they still re-
side, the family consisting of
father, mother, and two sons;
the father and sons engaged in
the drug business in this city.
The day was pleasantly spent
in visiting, talking over old
times, and examining curios,
gathered in the South during
the war, and from other parts,
one of special interest, being a
letter signed by Pres. Jefferson
Davis, picked up in Richmond,
after the surrender.
At about 2 p. M, all were in
vited into the dining hall where
a most delicious dinner was SER
we'd, to which all done ample
justice.
The son, A. N. Brown, being
a splendid photographer, it was
concluded that photos of Capt.
Brown and wife be taken, and
to make it look more natural as
a wedding, Mrs. Lahman acted
as Dflde'S maid, and u. MI, as
the Captains best man, and a
snapshot was secured.
Many changes have taken
place in this city since Capt, ].
D. Brown brought his young
bride from New England to our
city to make their home in the
west, and while they are grow
ing old, they are still young in
love for each other, and in the
respect of all the people.
Long may they live to enjoy
the fruits of their labor and the
love of their friends.
