LONDON, May 1.-THE Times this
morning gives prominence to long
article by Sir Valentine Chirol, it's
foreign editor, treating the japanese
dispute with -the United States as
grave international issue. The Times
editorially takes the same view. The
article says:
"The ultimate point Of the dispute
does not affect the United States
alone. still less California 1t Is a
world question essentially. The fears
OF the inhabitants Of the Pacific slope
are exaggerated, and premature, but
they are not entirely groundless. No
useful purpose can be served by con-
domination of the tendencies Of pub
lie opinion in the Western States
They do not spring so much from
race hatred, as from the instinct of
self-preservation. and IL the present
minor dispute is composed they will
assuredly recur. The time has come
when Japan In disposed to challenge
the very essence OF the attitude OF
western nations towards Asiatics.

nations on equal terms"

side considers itself right.

land lying directly west of Fruitland,
in the flat along the bank of the
Snake river for placer mining. There
are numerous springs all along the
bank which can be utilized for
washing also for irrigating purposes
and several acres that can be de-
voted to gardening. We understand

the difficulty of ascending the hill

this the sides, which were very rugg-

breaking away have been made even

appearance but safety of the pass.
We heard the remark that the citi-
sens of Ontario had thus far stood
the expense of building and keeping
up this road and it was thought about
time the people on this side should
do their part. 1t must be admitted
they have some grounds for the re-
mark.

"A little nonsense, now and then
Friday evening at 3 o'clock about
80 friends gathered at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. N. w. Lewis in a

sense and fun to their hearts con-
tent. It was thorough surprise, as
one look at the face of our hostess
advertised, and as Mr.. Lewis and
Harry T. viewed the line of carriag-
es from the field they remarked,
What in the world does this mean?"
1t did not take long to find out it
was friends in force. The rooms
were thrown open, tables spread
and a six-o'clock dinner announced,
and such a spread as it was, nearly
every delectable Wand that goes to
make a perfectly appointed dinner,
and proclaimed every lady presnet as
fine cook. Miss Elizabeth Rupp
had prepared place cards for each
guest which caused great fun as
each one found their place at the
table. Mr.. N. w. Lewis found an
Uncle Sam, that resembled him some-
what and several of the men pres
ent found cartoons that showed slight
resemblance to their phiz. She had
secured numbers of photos of the
guests through the children of the
families and disguised them so that
some times about all to be recogniz-
ed was the twinkle in the eye, then,
there were funny dolls verses etc,
in fact she showed keen insight In
to the personality of all. The cos
tuning was the greatest fun of ell
and as each guest appeared for in

witty remarks was heard from every
