KOREA NOW OFFICIALLY
JAPANESE TERRITORY
PRONUNCIATION of the Treaty of Annexa-
ton Is Made-People of Seoul
Show No Emotion.

Toxic, Aug. 30.-The official promul-
CATION of the treaty of the annexation
Of Korea by japan under the name of
Cho Sen was made at 0 o clock Monday
morning. At the same time a mass of
documents providing for future govern
ment in the new colony was made
public.
There is not the slightest evidence
here of jubilation over the annexation.
Reports received from Seoul say the
people there accepted the announcement
quietly.
A reseript by the japanese emperor
says that in 1905 Korea was placed
under the protectorate Of Japan, but
that, notwithstanding the partial sue
cess of the existing government, Korea
was unable to preserve order. Suspicion
and misgiving permeated the peninsula,
and, therefore, in concert with the EN-
peror of Korea, he arrived at plan for
the permanent annexation of Korea.
The emperor expressed the belief that
the Koreans in future will enjoy pros
perity, and that the new status will
serve as a fresh guarantee for the en-
during peace Of the orient.

MONTANA.


Growing Fast at Kalispell.
The most important business center
of extreme northwestern Montana is
Kalispell, located in the heart of rich
valley of 100000 acres. The rapid de-
velopment of the section, and the recent
opening to entry of the surplus lands of
the Flathead Indian reservation have
caused the town to grow very rapidly
during the past few years. AS a bust
ness center the jobbing trade of Kali
spell extends over an area equal in
size to the New England states. The
largest lumber manufacturing interests
of the state also make headquarters
there and the town is the seat of a
United States land office, and business
headquarters for the Flathead and
Blackfoot National forests.
The annual lumber cut of the district
is 125,000,O00 feet, with an estimated
total of over 10000, 900, 900 feet of lum-
Der yet standing. The annual revenue
from the lumber sold is $780, 900, one
half of this amount being divided
among over 1000 employees. One of the
largest bodies of spruce yet standing IL
the United States is tributary to Kali
spell; and for this reason, and because
of the natural waste in numbering, the
town offers excellent advantages to boz
and wood pulp manufacturers. The
chief grain crop of the surrounding
agricultural section is oats, 1000 ,O0C
bushels being an average yield. In ad
dition, 700,0 bushels of wheat, 100000
bushels of potatoes, and 10000 tons o.
hay are grown. Many carloads o.
apples, small fruits and berries arr
shipped from the large orchards. Irri
cation is not essential to good agricul
tural yields, the soil being a silt of I
former lake bed. Besides Flathead lake
one of the largest lakes of the north
west, there are more than 300 smalle
lakes in Flathead county, of whicl
Kalispell is the county seat.

Millions for Reclamation in General.

~~~~~-~--~-~ -
The recent congressional bill appro-
priating $20,000,0oO will be a great
stimulus to reclamation and irrigation
in the west. The sum will enable the
speedy completion of some of the pro-
jects that have been tagging for years
much to the Encouragement of home
seekers-because of lack of reclamation
funds.
I The new reclamation law requires
that this $20,000,000 fund be used only
for the completion of projects already
under way in the west. Furthermore,
no part of it may be expended without
the sanction of board of army engi-
neers created by the president and the
further approval of the president. 1t is
probable, thus, that the most important
of the projects now under way, and
those that have Jagged longest, will be
rushed to completion. 1t remains to be
seen-as has been intimated by some
whether the board of army engineers
and reclamation service engineers, with
entirely different training and outlook,
can work together tremendously.
Opening the Columbia River.
The rivers and harbors bill passed by
the last session of congress has made
large appropriations for waterway i'm
provements along the Columbia river
and it's tributaries. More than 81 ,000,-
900 will be available for the deepening
of the river at it's mouth by means of
the completion of the south jetty and
the beginning of a north jetty.
The Columbia is commercially the
most important river west of the Missis-
sippi river, because of its great system
of interior waterways, draining, as they
do, more than 100000 square miles of
rich territory. When the improve
ments already under way are completed
the Columbia and its branches will have
1000 miles of continuously navigable
waterways, penetrating Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho and British Columbia.
On the upper Columbia river the locks
at Cello will be completed in six years
The sum of 100000 has been appropria-
ted for that improvement of the river
above this point, where are several OBJ
structions; and the Snake river has re-
ceived the largest appropriation in its
history.

Largest in Years to Be Harvested in
Northwest States and Quality

Apple growers in the Pacific or box
group, taking in Washington, Oregon,
Idaho, Montana, California, New Mex
leo, Utah and Colorado, will this year
have the largest crop ever harvested
in these states and the fruit promises
to be of exceptionally good quality, ac-
cording to a report on the condition of
the yield in the United States and
Canada, received by w. d. Finley, as
sistant secretary in Spokane of the fifth
Dry Farming congress, from c. P. Roth
well, secretary of the International
Apple Shippers association, The re-
port says in part:
''The Pacific group shows a decline

There are heavy increases in Washing

in the less important states of Idaho

an increase of so per cent over year
ago is promised
The output of Washington and Idaho
will be 200 per cent better than in
1909, Mr.. Rothwell says, while Ore
gon' s crop will be 175 per cent ahead
of last year. Montana and New Mex
leo are 10 per cent under year ago;
Utah, 100 per cent better; California

IDAHO.
Farmers Succeed Stockmeu,

d1 uclS ouCCcCu OtOSAluCus
The colonization of a 3,000-acre cattle
ranch in northern Idaho, near Grange
vile, marks the passing of the last of
the cattle kings in Idaho, and division
of their range among homeseekers.
Preceding the colonization of the large
ranch public sale of all of its equip
ment was held. This is thought to have
been one of the largest public sales of
its kind west of the Rocky mountains,
property to the total value of $4,000
being disposed of in two days. The
special significance of the incident, of
course, is that it marks new industrial
epoch in northern Idaho-indicating
that the large stockman has been dis
placed by the small farmer. Land val
ues in the future will be measured in
terms of intensified agricultural rather
than pastoral uses. Stock raising will
always be large industry in northern
Idaho, as well as in many other sec
tions Of the Inland Empire, but under
changed conditions. The herds will be-
come smaller, and the grade of stock
better. Many states of the west, in
GLIDING Idaho, have passed herd laws
requiring that all stock, when loose on
the open range, must be accompanied by
a herder. Such law is decidedly to
the disadvantage Of the cattle owner in
his competition with the owner of
sheep. Likewise, the orderly division
of the grazing land within the national
forests is more favorable to the owner
of sheep, since sheep must always be
accompanied by the herder anyway
while other stock must usually be
herded in order to keep them on Their
allotted range. So there will always be
much range in the west for bands OF
sheep, while many forces seem to be
continually working against the cattle
king. All in all, the passing of the last
of the cattle kings from northern Idaho
indicates that the section is rapidly de
veloping and that there are new oppor
tunities for the homeseeker and intensi
fed farmer.

WHAT THE CENSUS SHOWS.
Largest Increased Population Is in
Small Cities.

Careful, though unofficial, analysis of
the returns from the thirteenth census
on cities thus far announced reveals
that the increased rate of growth for
the last decade over that of 1890 to
1900 has been confined largely to places
having a population of less than $4,000.
decidedly good average is shown
for the nine cities whose population
ranges between 100000 and 100000.
These are: Denver, 213,381; st. Paul,
Plata; Providence, 224, 1926; Kansas
City, 24s,3s1; Jersey City, 267,779;
Washington, 331 ,06s; Newark, 347, 469;
Cincinnati, 364,646, and Milwaukee,
373,s57. For this group the average
growth amounted to 34.s, as compared
with an increase Of 26 per cent in the
1S90-1900 epoch.
The mean for the 10 cities of be-
tween 100000 and 100000 is favorable
to the 1s90-1900 period to the extent of
almost 4 per cent, the average for
1900 being 35.7 per cent and that for
1900-1910 80 per cent. But notwith-
standing this general falling off the
rate of growth was more evenly main.
tanned in this than in any other class
Not SO Many Extremes.
There were not so many extremes
The advantage also was with 1900 il
the 21 places of from $4,000 to 100, 900
the average gain being 416 per cent al
against 1911 in 1900.

WASHINGTON.
Irrigation in Yakima Valley.

Irrigation in Yakima Valley.
The citizens of North Yakima and a
number of prominent visitors recently
celebrated the practical completion of
the Tieton government reclamation pro-
iect, which will irrigate more than
10000 acres of the land of the Yakima
valley. This project is one of the five
separate and complete units that make
up the Yakima projects, which will, in
the total, reclaim 4S0,700 acres, accord
ing to figures from the reclamation serv-
ice. 1t is the plan of the government
engineers to ultimately appropriate all
of the surplus waters of the Yakima
valley, the total estimated cost of this
large undertaking that will add almost
half a million acres to the irrigated
lands of Washington being $16,000,000.
The cost of this project in the total will
be large, but the investment will give
big returns, the value of the land when
irrigated increasing from between $50
