Home Talent Concert.

Real home talent is always appre-
ciated, but when we realize that our
home talent ranks with the profess
sional then we have aSo to rejoice
in our good luck. The Concert given
in the Lutheran church Wednesday
evening by home talent was a brilliant,
charming, event, and a large audience
was present to enjoy the feast of
music and song.
Miss Palma Anderson as a pianist,
and M rs. A. N. Bragstad as a reader,
are Canton favorites, and rank in
their line with any artists in the
state. Mrs. DR.. G~ulbrandsen, also a
popular Canton favorite, gave that
big audience something grand from
her violin. She is an artist and her
violin tells 1t. The Schubert Quart
cite is a splendid organization, com
posed of Elmer Anderson, Melvin
Juel, Alvin Isakson and Martin Juel,
and they sing charmingly.
Alden Haug Of Dayton township,
came home from St. Olaf college with
a reputation of being n Of the best
solists in that college, and n can
easily find cause for such a splendid
compliment after hearing him sing.
He has a sweet, clear, strong voice
and sings as naturally as a bird.
Miss Mary Bergstrom was the &C
companyist and showed marked abili-
ty in the delicate work assigned her.
The concert was a great success as
a social event as we'll as financially,
and the LEADER congratulates the
concert management.

Bow Scouts Hike.

Saturday afternoon was our regular
time for a hike, and before starting
another member was admitted to
scouthood. Then we all lined up and
had our pictures taken. When all was
ready we hit the trail for the railroad
bridge and followed the river until
we came to a good camping place.
!, The afternoon was spent largely in
working for points. We all tried
tracking a half mile in twenty five
minutes and all earned a point.

SURPRISE TO DIPLOMATS.
China Likely to Make an Appeal TO
United States.

Washington.-Notice of Russia's
intention regarding China reached
the State Department Thursday
through the American Embassy at
St. Petersburg. 1t appears that the
Russian government, wearied of what
it regards as persistent disregard by
China of her treaty obligations to-
ward Russia, is about to bring pres
sure to bear to enforce her rights,
even to the extent of military dem
onstration in the Province of Iii, the
seat of the present trouble.
The Russian government promises
the American Embassy to acquaint it
with particulars of the indictment
against China. The whole incident
comes as a great surprise to the dip
lomatic service in Washington, for
although it was known that sharp
issues had arisen between Russia and
China over conflicting claims of juris-
diction in Manchuria and in connec-
tion with commercial privileges in
Mongolia, the situation was not re-
garded as critical and it generally
was believed that in view of the de-
plorable conditions existing in China
as a result of the famine and the
ravages of the plague, Russia would
generously defer pressing her claims
to the extreme at this time.

Washington, ID. C.-That none OF

followed by death in a few hours. was
reported to the American National
Red Cross in cablegram Just received
from American Consul General VIII
der, at Shanghai, on the conditions
resulting from the pneumonia plague.
The japanese have checked the
plague in South Mukden, but the re-
mainder of Manchuria is being raw
aged by the disease. The pestilence
is spreading ia Shantung. A dozen
doctors who attended the stricken
people are dead Reports from Har-
bin, Mr.. Wilder says, show $50
deaths daily
The frozen ground makes burial
Impossible and half mile of cofiins

consented to the cremation of 1000
bodies and 1000 victims have been
cremated at Kiangchantzu.
While there has been some i'm
provement at the centers Of the dis
ease, the Consul General says It is
spreading to the villages. The homes
Of refugees, he adds, are being
burned.
Roger S. Greene, American con-
sui at Harbin, reports that up to

IL Europeans, had died of plague,
while at Fushia Tien, a suburb OF
Harbin, 1903 have succumbed to the
disease. or the deaths at Harbin
267 had occurred in hospitals and
166 persons had been found dead in

From statistics gathered at points
along the Chinese Eastern Railway,
the consul said that up to January

Russia viii Make Military De-
mOnStratiOn on Frontier.
ASSERTS THE TREATY IS VIOLATED,
Free Trade in Mongolia, Extra Ter

China and Establishment of Rus
sian Consulate at Kobdo the Vital
Points Involved Russian Press
Characterizes IL as "China's Per-
sistent Flouting of the Treaty Sup-
ulations."

London.-The relations of Russia
and China are strained to the break
ing point Russia notified the gov
ernments of Great Britain, France
and Germany of her intention to
make a military demonstration on the
Russo-Chinese frontier owing to
China's persistent violation of the
st. Petersburg treaty of 1881.
Russian troops will be sent forth
with to the district of ILL.,
The extent Of the demonstration,
II is added in the diplomatic note,
will depend entirely upon the atti-
tude assumed by China. The vital
questions involved are free trade in
Mongolia, the eXtra-territorial rights
of Russians in China, and the estab-
lishment of a Russian consulate at
Kobdo, Mongolia.
The greatest curiosity is manifest
ed in diplomatic circles as to the role
which Japan will play in the present
crisis, and also respecting the atti-
tude the United States is likely to
adopt, should Russia carry out her
threats. 1t is believed, however, that
President Taft's cabinet will not go
beyond gentle intervention.

PASSED BY THE SENATE.
Forest Reserves For the East
Now Assured.

Washington, d. c. - After many
years of delay, the bill looking to
the creation of national forest re-
serves in. the White Mountains and
the Southern Appalachians, passed
the Senate, the vote standing 81 to
8. The negative vote was cast by
Senators Bristow, Burton, Clark, of
Wyoming; Cullom, Grouna and Nc
Cumber, Republicans, and Senators
Davis, Paynter and Shively, Demo-
Gratis. The bill passed the house of
Representatives last session, and as
it was accepted by the Senate with
out change, it lacks only the sigma
ture of the President to elevate it
into a statute.
The entire day was given to the
subject by the Senate. Senators
Brandegee, of Connecticut, and Gal
linger, of New Hampshire, stood as
the special sponsors Of the measure.
Mr.. Brandegee made a brief speech
in the interest of an early vote. SEN
ators Simmons, of North Carolina,
and Newlands, Of. Nevada, spoke in
support OF the bill, and Senators Bur-
ton, Of Ohio, and Hepburn, of Idaho,
in opposition. The supporters of the
measure resisted all efforts at amend
ment on the theory that any change
would imperil the bill in the House.
While it is understood on all sides
that the purpose of the bill is the
acquisition of lands in the White
Mountains of New England and OF
the Appalachians, in the Southern
States, for the creation of forest re-
serves, it contains no specific men
tion of such purpose. The author
ity for this proceeding is found in
the general powers conferred by the
bill.
The carrying into effect of the pro-
visions of the bill is placed in the
hands of a commission, to be COM
posed Of the Secretary of War, the
Secretary of the Interior, the Secre-
tary OF Agriculture, two senators and
two members of the House OF Rep
resentatives.
The purchase of land is placed in
the hands of the Secretary of Agri-
culture and is confined to such areas
as may affect the head waters OF
navigable streams. No purchase is
to be authorized until passed upon
by the Geological Survey. The land
once acquired, 1t is to be cut up
into forest reserves, as may seem
best for administrative purposes.
Authority for cooperation with
different states is given and $1,000
900 a year is appropriated until
1915.
