Chinese Recoanition.

President Wilson is giving serious considera tion to the question of formal recognition of the Chinese republic. The president has apparently not sett- led definitely the question of recogni- ton but it is believed tonight never theless conference on the subject and many meetings of the cabinet will b. necessary before the administrations attitude is defined.
 For many months. the United States dealt with the Chinese republic as q de facto government and formal recog- hilton is largely a matter of time. The American minister to China and the Chinese minister at Washington had part or practically all the power theV would have possessed if recognition were given.
 It is known, however; that China h46 been most anxious that the United States, the greatest republic, recognize the latest addition to republican ranks The presidents advisors believe China will be in a better position to carry oil loan negotiatins if official approval ot her new government is given by a great power and a feeling of friendship to- ward the United States will be in creased with many commercial ad- vantages resultant therefrom

 It will be recalled that the state land commission went to Fort Grant on their first trip over the eastern DOT ton of the state and made an extensive investigation of the site reporting fav- orably. At that time estimates were made as to the cost of the renovation of the place so as to make it fit for d school
