Grown on good soil and properly

practically equal to those. 1t makes
an excellent pasture for cattle, sheep

The Grass Range Country, Montana.

The Grass Range country in cen-

expected that it will be continued

This year, thus opening to cultiva-
lion a vast territory which be-cto-

The Great Northern railroad is
also building directly into this ter
ritory from Lewiston on east and will
build up many new towns.
The 500 and Northern Pacific, not

for new lines. In fact, all these
lines of railroads are now recogniz-
ing it as a territory in whose future
development they want hand, rea-
lizing that this country will furnish
an almost unlimited supply of pro-
ducts and create heavy tonnage for
their lines.
A good idea of the climate can be
had from the work done on constTuC-
lion of an irrigation system now be-

THE SALMON TROUBLES.

To casual observer Il would seem
that the settlers on the Salmon River
project are having more than their
share OF troubles. II has long been
contended that there was not water
available to ifrigate the lands in the
segregation. and the settlers have
made frequent demands on the land
board to reduce the acreage. but to
no avail. even as we understand It
after the government had notified
tne land board that they would re
Iuse patents to only certain percent
Of the land.
There seems to be no chance FOL
he settlers and bondholders to ge
together. and as stated last week tn,
settlers we're about to commence I
suit to have their rights adjudicates

When Cho Yee Goo, the Korean de.
fendant in the murder trial IN Judge

on the stand, he declared that he pur-
chased a revolver early in May in or.
der to shoot himself if again sent to

bought a box of cartridges and, after
filling the chambers of the gun, threw
the balance of the shells away.
The man admitted shooting his
wife but claimed that he had not pre-
meditated the crime. Hesswore that
he meant to only cripple the woman
and then kill himself. a.
Judge Edings, who, represented the
accused. addressed the jury and de-

SHERIFF ROSE
AFTER HARMONY
IN DEPARTMENT

Sheriff Charles H. Rose, who yes
terday assumed his new duties at the
head Of the police department for the
city and county Of Honolulu is EN-
phatic In his statement today that
he has no ak sharpened for the re-
moval OF Captain Arthur McDuffie or
Sergeant John Kellett of the detect
i've branch of the service.
Sheriff Rose comes forward and
makes q strong declaration for peace
and harmony In the conduct of the
police machinery
1t is efficiency and not politics that
will ever be the watchword that will
guide the new police head in the man
agement of force of officials who
have the peace and order of the island
of Oahu In their keeping, insists
Sheriff Rose this morning.
Captain McDuffie or officers in
his department have no cause to fear
their removal upon other grounds
than inefficiency,. was one state-
ment freely offered by Sheriff Rose.
He decried the story of playing
politics in police department manage
ment. s
"Let us not overlook one import
fact" he added. Il cannot remove an
official from the police or detective
department without cause. Each man
is now under civil service rules and
regulations.
There is not much chance for poll
tics to figure in the building up of a
machine, in the opinion of Sheriff
Rose. -. =: -. y r.: - ~. -
There have been no charges
brought against Captain McDuffie or
Kellett and their removal for any
other reason save inefficiency is, un-
der the law. an impossibility.
Il certainly wish at this time to set
at rest lot of silly rumors going
, about the city, which have been
brought to my attention concerning
sweeping changes to be made in po-
lice personnel" he said.
