tional park to the Wichita Game Refuge
in the state of Oklahoma. This is an
incident and an experiment toward the
government preservation of the big
game of the west.
In 1908 tire were but 1900 antelope
yet remaining in the United States
About 10000 of these were in Montana,
Wyoming and the Yellowstone National
park. and the remainder in IL other
states.
The preservation of game may make
necessary the closing of small areas OF
the national forests to live stock graz
ing, since the wild herds must have
sufficient food supply for the entire
winter.

IDAHO.

Idaho has more than doubled its pop
ulation during the past decade, accord
ing to the last census report. The in
crease is 1913 per cent, a larger. gain
than is credited to any other state. of
the Union, with two exceptions, Okla
homa and Washington.
The report shows the greatest popula-
ton gains to have been made in the
new irrigated sections of the extreme
south and southwest, and in the mining
sections of the north. The greatest
numerical increase in population is in
the northern part, but the south-central
section of the state leads in percentage
increase, with growth of 207 per cent.
The southwestern division of the state
has increased 100 per cent; the north
ern mining division is next with 50 per
cent; and the southeastern part had II
per cent greater population in 1910 than
in 1900.

CHINA YIELDS TO
RUSSIA'S DEMAND
Will Garry Out Provisions of Treaty
of 1881, Long Denied By
Polriuo

Picking, March 27.-China is not pre-
pared to antagonize Russia completely.
and as result Of prolonger conferences
the China foreign Office Monday assur-
ed the Russian minister, NJ. Korostovetz,
that China would acquiesce unreserved-
ly to the demands made in the Russian
ultimatum concerning the provisions of
the treaty of 1881. Russia insisted up
on answer before Tuesday
1t is generally considered that there
was no alternative course, in view of
China's utter appropriateness for war.
Intense interest is being manifested
in the attitude of Japan, which is OBJ
viously holding entirely aloof, although
more powerful than ever at Picking.
While the issues between China and
Russia have been almost obliterated by
the recent series of ultimatums, and
theoretically, insufficient cause for oc-
cupation exists, Russia apparently fears
that she could obtain only paper prom
ises which the Chinese would not OBJ
serve until inundated Russians here
point out that they have less now in
the way of concessions from China
than when the treaty was signed.
Some sections of the legislation quar-
ter ridicule Russia for not following in
the first instance the recent example
set by Great Britain in occupying ter
ritory awaiting Chinese readiness to
discuss the contested points. But it
is recognized that Russia, by failing to
do this, has shown that she does not
possess aggressive designs.
The Chinese newspaper, which are
utterly ignorant of the foreign affairs,
are hostile to Great Britain, which they
accuse of beginning the present land
grab, and they prophesy that both Jap
an and France will not be long in fol-
lowing suit.

BRINGS SUIT

Another action for damages In the
Lake superior court has been started
against the city OF Gary a result OF
the opening of streets. This time the
Calumet Lumber company of Tolleston,
through Attorneys McCracken. Freer
and Bartlett of Gary has brought suit
to recover $4,000 damages on account
of the widening of First street from

railroads right OF way
1t is alleged that on Nov. %, 1910
the board of public works of the city
of Gary passed the resolution authoriz-
ing the widening and extension OF
First street.
This will make it necessary for the
city to condemn a number of buildings
and sheds belonging to the Calumet
Lumber company, and for this reason
it asks 900 damages.
