| Boston, March S.-The second class

placed in commission to sail at the
earliest possible moment. She will
sail under sealed orders, probably to-

The officers at the Charlestown

where she was to be sent but it was
generally supposed that she was to

WARNING TO JAPAN.
Washington, March S.-That the

against forming closer relations with

phase of the situation which develop

( In defiance of the Monroe doctrine,
Japan. it is alleged, has been en-
deavoring to obtain a naval station
on the west coast of Mexico where
hundreds of thousands of japanese
have formed colonies. Most of them
are men who served in the japanese
army during the war with Russia.

aid has encouraged their colonial

mirably suited for a base of opera
tons against the United States.
This may partially explain the con-
centration of the Pacific fleet at San
Diego and the mobilization of troops
from western states at Los Angeles.
So far as the Imperial Valley Dam is
concerned, the cavalry now patrolling
the border would afford ample pro-
lection to the entire work.
The Japanese war party declares
that the Mikado must strike before
the Panama Canal is completed Or
not at all and the United States. it Is

Reward

In ruling that the State Controller
legally could not turn over the re-
ward of $1,000 to the Sheriff's posse
from Modoc County for killing off a
band of Indian murderes, because the
Governors posted offer required
them to be arrested and convicted
the Attorney-General raised technl-
cality that had bad effect on future
man-hunts.
Hereafter officers who go after
murderes and thieves accept all the
risks and submit to all the hardships,
are likely first to enquire carefully
the terms of the reward before start
ing of.
In the case of the Modoc Indians,
it was obviously impossible to take
them alive. They were desperate,
having killed two or three men, and
were keen to kill more. ii fact, they
did kill one of the Sheriff's deputies
| in the pitched battle that followed the
meeting in Nevada. Any attempt to
have taken thern alive would have
cost several more lives.
Such being the case the reward
should have been paid to the men
without taking advantage OF any tech
nicality. They performed a service
for which $1,000 each could hardly
compensate them-Sacramento Bee.
The theory and logic of the above
from the California paper cannot be
disputed, but the provisions of the re
ward and the law cannot be disre-
garded in this case any more than in
other cases. And again, the officers
were doing nothing more than their
sworn duty for which they are receiv-
ing liberal salaries. Sentiment cuts
but little figure in carrying out the
provisions of the statutes.

Scientific Farming

Possibly no other industry in the
United States is making so much pro-
gress as agriculture. We do not real
ize it here in the west where mining
is the leading industry and as rule
the farms are small But we have even
here, with every annual fair, object
lessons from the agricultural college
and experimental stations to serve
notice upon US that effective science
is helping the farmer and enabling
him to not only produce better crops
but to determine what will grow on
his land and how he may increase
the yield. Where the acres are broad
N the east and farming is the ruling
industry. by selection and scientific
c, ltivation the corn crops per acre
has been increased IS per cent in the
last twenty years, the wheat crop by
a greater percentage and the cotton
crop more than 8 per cent per acre.
Then the utilizing OF cotton seed
in the last thirty years has taken away
the expense of the planting and gath
ering of the cotton crop, leaving the
cotton itself nearly or quite profit
Mere progress still has been made
win forage crops, of which alfalfa
leads and which in many regions has
become a reliance and as the ranges
fave been reduced has enabled the
farmers to fit twice as many cattle
or sheep for market. 1t too, has great
ly added to the health of animals, es-
peeially work animals that are fed
grain heavily. That was demonstrate
Cd in Nevada thirty years ago. The
big mule teams that hauled heavy
freight up the Geiger grade to the
Comstock, and which were worth fed
grass hay-timothy. red top or blue
JOINT, and ground barley, lost, as a
rule, one mule week through sick
ness. And those mules were worth
$500 each. When alfalfa hay was sub
st;tuted for the grass hay there were
no more trouble.
Horticulture has been improved as
much as agriculture and the import
ing of parasites to kill the parasites
that are mems enemies in orchards
and on food plants, the spraying of
trees and the smudge pots to stand
off the frost, have worked wonders.
The generation of farmers that are
growing up will make the work of
their fathers look, by comparison,
like an automobile beside an old lum-
Der wagon, and it is confidently pre-
dicted that without increasing the
acreage devoted to farming, when the
population doubles the country will
feed the people and have as much
left for export as it now has.
The last proposition is to establish
a great central agricultural university
and give to agriculture and horticul-
ture the first place in the education
of the youth of the country.
