PEKING, Dec. 13.-That war be- tween China and Russia is imminent is the opinion created generally this morning by the action of the Russian minister. Korosteveff, who has warn ed the Chinese government that a rup- ture will take place unless China ceases to delay settlement of tho Mongolian question.
 This warning means nothing less than that China must surrender all it's claims and give up the intention of counting Mongolia as part of the re- public. Such a back down would bo regarded by Chinese as a most hu. initiating admission of fear besides being surrender of what China fully believes to be it's own territory by right.
 The answer to the insolent demand has not yet been formulated and kor. osteveff apparently requires only as

an answer an immediate compliance. China dispatched force some time ago towards Mongolia and the infor- nation was given out that 1t had ac- tually got into the province but thi. last news was probably invented for the purpose of compelling Russia to show her hand. IL has since been de- nied that the army was sent.
 It is believed that the future actions of the czars government will depend to a very great extent upon the out come of the European embroglio. It is certain that war in tho Occident would tie Russia's hands so far as the orient is concerned. but the very fact that war seems likely in Europe

Portage Asks State to Aid.

Portage Asks State to Aid.
Alarmed by reports from the upper
Wisconsin river of the immense guam
titles of snow and ice throughout that
section, and fearful of disaster when
warmer weather sends the accumu-
lated water down the channel, Port
age authorities planned an appeal to
Governor McGovern for aid in
strengthening the dik1s here.
Although the city snd the Milwau-
kee road have already spent $4,000 on
these water barriers, which were
greatly weakened BY the floods of last
fall, they are still far from secure and
it is feared they will fail when the
next high water comes.
At a mass meeting, called by Mayor
Downey, resolutions were adopted
asking Governor McGovern to include
in his expected call for a special ses-
sion of the legislature a statement of
the periss which confront residents of
the Wisconsin and Fox river valleys.
Portage itself, it is pointed out, is not
in special danger, being situated on
ground high enough to escape serious
damage 1t is feared, however, that
any excessively high water will break
the levee to the south, precipitating a
great flood down the Fox valley.

STATE FISHING
INDUSTRY GAINS
Licensed Fishermen on the Great
Lakes Announce Increase.
BIG GAIN OVER LAST YEAR
According to Report, Nine Ports on
Lake Michigan Have Total Haul
Of Over Nine Million Pounds,
Valued at $495,429.

Madfson.-State Game Warden John
gholts said that reports just filed in
his Office showed that licensed fisher
men on the great lakes did much
bigger business last year than in
1910.
From the Wisconsin waters of
Lake Superior" said Game Warden
Sholts, "the commercial fishermen re-
port total catch of 2,002,41O pounds
of fish, valued at $53,74z45, an in
crease of 203,315 pounds and S15,272.-
As in value above the season Of 1910.
The reports show an increase in both
whitefish and lake trout. OF the lat
ter the 1910 catch was increased 244,-
897 pounds. That OF the whitefish was
not so marked, as the state hatcheries
do not propagate the species as ex-
tensiyely as lake trout. Both these
species are propagated and planted in
Superior waters by the state. Her
ring and bIuefish show decided de-
crease, in fact, not one pound OF blue
fish was reported caught; neither OF
these two varieties Of fish are cult
waited by the state for Superior. These
cited instances are self evident of the
success of artificial propagation.
Reports from the Green Bay fish
ermen show that those waters yielded
1911 ,626 pounds of fish, valued at $780,
649.68. They also report 2,436,340
crawfish caught, and which have a
market value of 20 to 80 cents per
hundred.
Lake Michigan reports show a
total catch of 9,466,092 pounds of fish
sold for 5000, O9155-an increase OF
over 100000 pounds Of fish over the
catch of 1910. OF this increase 1885,
835 was in the catch of lake trout.
THE total catch for 1911 from the
waters Of Superior, Green Bay and
Lake Michigan is 15,38O,137 pounds OF
fish, and it put $743,84569 into the
pockets of the fishermen. These fig
ures do not include the catch of the
inland lake and river fishermen.

lake fishing industry from the most
important ports of Lake Michigan:

prenara4ion of Corn cand.

Corn land must be ready some time
before planting season. There are
few plants that are more exacting
upon the soil than corn, and few
plants respond more readily to fer
tilization and cultivation. The soil
must be plowed deep; on many farms
subsoiling would be profitable. Bet
ter results will be had if the land is
narrowed several times at different
intervals.

SUGAR Beet Prices.

John P. Hume of the Wisconsin Ad.
vancement association returned from
a trip to Green Bay and other north
eastern Wisconsin cities. He said
that the Menominee Sugar company
had closed contracts for 10000 tons OF
sugar beets on the basis of six dollars
per ton, which is one dollar ton
more than any sugar beet factory in
Wisconsin or any other state In the
Union ever has paid. Mr.. Hume said
that in previous years the average
price paid in Wisconsin was five dol
lars ton.
Most of the contracts so far this
year are for beets to be raised III
Marinette, Oconto, Shawano, Florence
Brown and Langlade counties. Ac
cording to Mr.. Hume sugaa beets are
being raised in upper Wisconsin on
land worth from $50 to $50 an acre
In southern Wisconsin sugar beets
are raised on land vailed at $125 an
acre. The percentage Of sdccharine is
said to be higher in upper Wisconsin
and the yield per acre greater. Steps
are being taken to establish a sugar
beet factory in Oshkosh and land con.
tiguous to that city will be purchased
for the purpose of raising sugar beets

Benefits of Good Roads.

There is one side to the good road
question which is good thing and
one which few farmers seem to think
of and that is the market side Why
does the price of farm butter and eggs
spring? Because of the short supply.
These things pile up in the homes of
farmers because they cannot get them
to town Good roads would make an
even market all the year around and
would add very largely to farm
profits.
