WAR OF THE TONCS
SEEMS IMMINENT
Chinese of New York Ready to
Fight if Either Side
0versleeps.
By Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Every re-
volver in Chinatown was loaded and
ready for action this morning. With
the failure Of peace negotiations, it is
realized that at any moment the war
of the tongs may break out anew. That
the police fear trouble was evidenced
by the fact that large reinforcements
were sent into the Chinese quarter
early in the day.
While the leaders of both tongs are
posing as the apostles Of peace, they
appear well satisfied with conditions as
they are and not at all anxious to afhI
their signatures to the documents which
the Chinese ministers IS agents have
drawn up. According to the police, the
principal difficulty in completing nego-
tiations for peace is that the On Ieongs
are one ahead in the list Of dead, and
until the score is evened up neither side
puts much faith in truces.
A statement given out by the celea-
tials says that the action of young
members Of the four brothers in tearing
down the bulletins posted in Chinatown
announcing that peace pact would
be signed had halted the overtures.
The On Leong tong is willing to make
peace, il is said, but demands assur-
ances that the four brothers can com
pei the younger members to live up to
the agreement.

not for the Government, but against it,
and for the Mormon church. He was
commissioned major. He had previous
ly enlisted, and served the Government
in the Mormon battalion. AS to wheth-
er or not he was a DANTE can only
be conjectured from the, assertion Of
Jenson 8 L. d. s. Biographical Encyclo-
pedia that "he shed no blood" and
from the fact that Captain William H.
Dame, who vas Mormon bishop and
gave the order to massacre the Noun
tain Meadows victims, was n fellow
soldier" with Lot. AS TO eligibility,
you probably mean to pension as nm
Indian war veteran, and 1T is not likely
that any one who took up arms against
the United States would be pensioned.
But if there were ever any Indian fight
ers in Utah, Lot Smith was one of
them, as the reco.d shows that he killed
several during the battles around Provo,
and was killed by an Indian in Arizona
about April j. 1902. There is no record
Of his ever having been called into
the service of the Government at any
time or for any purpore.

Microscopical examination was made

In your issue of next Sunday, please

column to the following interest prob
lem, in which we desire TO know the
exact amount of percentage or interest
as paid;
A borrows from b 5000, in which he
returns to B $27 per month. An
amount Of $25 of each payment is cred
tied to the principal, and $3.50 as in
terest. These payments extend over a
period of eight months, In which A pays
B total Of S220 for the loan Of $500.
In figuring what the interest upon this
loan would be, please bear in mind A
reduces the amount $25 each month,
in which he has loaned and depriving
A OF the use of the full $500 by a re-
duction Of s25 each month during the
total Of the eight months.
o. o. OLDHAM.
Interest on the loan would be at Is
per cent if payment were not made un"
til the expiration Of the time, and then
1920 were rendered. The fact that no
allowance is made for the cutting down
of interest by reason of the lessening
principal from month to month, makes
the actual interest rate 22.S75 per cent.

Dry farming is not new in Idaho

And great as irrigation is, it should

Dry farming has been practiced
in Idaho for twenty-five years, and
