WlcKERSHAM SAYS
SYNDICATE HAD
ALASKA BY THROAT

! Washington. d. c., May 21.--Dele.
gate Wickersham, of Alaska, startled
the senate territories committee today
by declaring that Senator Chamber,
lain, a member of the committee, had
inadvertently been the author of a
bill in a previous congress which
would have turned over to the "Gug.
Igcnheims' absolute control of the hal-
Dor of Cordova and the entrance to
Behling river coal fields.
There was "a little inoffensive look.
ing bill introduced in congress, be.
lieve you were the author of it, Sen.
ator Chamberlain said Wickersham,
giving the right of way to the Gug.
eenheims from Mile Twenty-Five on
the Copper River road to Three Three
point. You didn't know what that bill
meant. 1t passed the senate, but
when it reached the house I killed it.
If it had passed it would have given
the Guggenheims title in fee simple

would have had monopoly like that

Counsels Moderation.
Washington, d. c.. May 21.--Presi-
dent Wilson today sent for Represen.
tative Sisson of Mississippi, and urg-
cd him not to make any speeches that
would offend the sensibilities of Japan.
Mr.. Ssson, who recently made a
war speech had given notice of his
intention to speak in the house Friday
on the legal phases of the Japanese
alien land question. He had twenty
minute conference with the president,
during which, however, he assured
Mr.. Wilson that he would not discuss
the pending negotiations or touch on
anything Of an incendinary character
limiting himself to an argument on
alien land ownership.
That was the White House version
of the comforting, though Mr.. Sisson
himself declined to make any COM
ment, declaring merely that he would
speak Friday.
The president is known to be anx-
ious about dscission in congress at
the stage of the Japanese question, es-
pecially involving any observations OH
racial discrimination.
1t is indicated at the White House
that the American note just sent and
the tenor of future exchanges will be
to assure the Japanese that the ma
jority of Americans have genuine re-
spect and admiration for the achive.
ments and the character of her people.
Public expressions that might give an
opposite impression are regarded at
the White House, particularly at this
time, as seriously embarrassing the
between the state depart.
ment and the Japanese ambassador.

REPLY OF u. s. TO JAPAN is
STILL cH PROFOUND SECRET

Toxic, May 21-The Toxic foreign
Office has received and is studying
the reply of the United States gov.
ernment to it's protest in regard to
the California land ownership legis-
lation. 1t declares that by agree.
ment with Washington, the document
will not be made public The off.
cials make no comment on the sub
ject and no statement as to whether
it is satisfactory or not.
The Japanese public apparently is
waiting for information before ex-
pressing it's opinion on the American
reply. In the meantime, the press
reiterates that the question goes
deeper than the ownership of land
or the making of treaties and that
it is racial discrimination which must
be wiped out by mutual education and
understanding and the fusion of ideas.
Lichiro Tokiutomi. editor of the Ko-
kumin Shimbun, writes in an article
today:
"The patriotism and loyalty of
Japan should join forces with the lib
erality of America. BY this means,
Pacific would nobly justify its
name"
On the other hand, much interest
is attached to the formation of a new
patriotic association by Count Shig-
anori Uesugi and other scholars "for
the maintenance of Japanese individ-
uality." The founders declare that
some of the Japanese are intoxicated
with western civilization to such an
extent that they are likely to forget
their nationality and introduce dan
ger0us thoughts into the minds of the
people and interpret patriotism in
different form from that prevailing
among their ancestors.
In some quarters, it is alleged, that
the new organization is a political
one masquerading under the guise of

was especially featured by the
dairy and food department of the
state. The silver cups won by Min.
nesota, in competition with all other
states in the Union, at the National
Dairy show, were on exhibit and
ELECTED much praise and comment
from the visiting crowds. A NINA
ture dairy farm and creameries add
ed to the beauty of the general dis
play.
The Minnesota Sugar company OF
Chaska, Minnesota, occupied about
ten feet of space, with an exhibit OF
sugar beets and sugar beet products.
One beet Weighing 13 1-2 lbs, the
largest on record in the state was
shown. This beet grew at Renville,
MINI. To convince the housewife
that beet sugar is as good for can
ming and preserving as cane sugar,
many jars of choice preserves and
canned fruit were displayed as evil
dence.
Fresh garden vegetables, includ-
ind celery, ripe tomatoes, lettuce,
spinach, cabbage, etc., occupied a
prominent place in the exhibit, and
added much to the attractiveness
thereof. It has been the general con-
census of opinion, that the Minnesota
exhibit at the Minneapolis Land
Show was huge success.
H. j. Maxfield, state immigration
commissioner, who superintendent the
exhibit, said: shat lively interest
was manifested in the Minnesota
booth at all times, and many farm
ELS, both from Minnesota and also
other states came to the Minnesota
headquarters for information in re-
gard to the state.

Filming a Homesteader.

Under ordinary circumstances the
average citizen dislikes to see a
homesteader hailed into court for
breaking a game law, especially if
it was necessary in order that the
family might have meat. But the
case of Charles Cook, who was fined
SIS Wednesday, is different. It was
brought out that Cook not only kill
ed COW moose but that he is alleged
to be one of group which is sus-
pected of having furnished moose
meat to Thief River Falls people.
When game is killed for commercial
purposes, sympathy over punishment
is lacking.

last year that cost me at least 5 900
and I want you to tell every farmer
you can about it. My brood sows
were allowed to get too fat and as a
result I lost every pig of the first
filters. When the SOW is too fat, the
pigs have no hair and cannot stand
the cold. A farmer in Iowa has told
me that he exercises his brood sows
for two hours each day by making
them walk through the snow and
then takes them back into warm
quarters. His sows always give him
good healthy pigs and he seldom
loses one out of the first filters.
