ADVERTISING FOR TAX MONEY.
City and County Tax Collectors Will
Advertise Delinquent Lists.

.- ~ FOOAA-4AOAO
W f. Brown, county tax collector,
and George w. Justice city tax col
lector, are experiencing the customary
trouble in the collection of taxes Ions
past due. AS a result of their vain
efforts to collect taxes the tax collec-
tors are preparing an extended delin-
cuent tax list, which will appear in
the Democrat next week.
The time has come when they feel
that the taxes must be paid and while
they hope to save the de%linquents any
unnecessary embarrassment, they will
not refrain from the limelight of pub
licity, unles the taxes Ire paid this
week. They are determined to have
the money even though they have to
sell the property to get it.

The rice grown in Japan Is reckoned among
the best in the world, and she takes third place
among the rice-productng countries, and exports
very large quantities. She imports rice as well,
and this may sound strange In a rice-growing
country; but the quality of her home grown rice
being very fine, she exports all she can and
imports cheaper rice for her home consumption
from Korea and China and India that is of in
ferior quality to her own; but mixed with Japan

classes Although it is the staple food other
kinds of grain used as we-miet, barley
and wheat are cultivated and have been grown

the rice fields lie fallow Two kinds of potatoes
are grown as well for consumption

in addition to the fact that the population is
rapidly increasing, means that the question OF
the production Of the food supplies In the coun-

considered and for these reasons the Japanese
government has considered the question of the
increasing demand for food supply very
fully.

for the Encouragement of the farm fields in the

in sufficient extent will enlarge the farm areas
very considerably and lessen the necessity for
opening up any land for cultivation. 1t Is
by following these methods that Japan is prepar-
ing herself to meet the increasing demand for
food. Failure of crop and consequent famine
have to be met by larger imports, but necessarily
cause great distress among the people.

Ouelled Klondike Bullies

On my return to Dawson in the evening
strolled into the IN & N" saloon, where from
the rather disturbed atmosphere of the place
noticed something was amiss. One man was Just
picking himself up from the ground, while most
OF the attention was concentrated upon drunken
miner sitting on billiard table, On inquiring
what the trouble was, I was informed that the
miner had "buffaloed" the saloon-in other words,
he deffed the crowd any of the bartenders (the
man whom | had observed picking himself up
was one of the latter to put him outside No
one accepted the invitation. till the door opened
and a trooper Of the R. N. W. M. police In his
red coat strolled in Another trooper quietly fol-
lowed. Neither In any way appeared to notice
anything was particularly wrong The first troop
er stroed up to the table and looking steadily at
the drunken miner, quietly ordered him to put
on his coat and get out. The miner started to
swear and buster; but at the repeated order,
this time in rather sharper tones, he put his coat
on and walked out like lamb. The two troop
ers followed They did not even trouble to ar
rest him, the occurrence being no unusual one
This little incident made me realize what an
influence this small body of men had gained in
shat wild stretch of country. During tho great
rush the troops of this corps-one OF the finest
that ever ruled the kings dominions-did their
work in the Icy north on their wage of 81 day,
when the lowest wage for ordinary skilled labor
was seldom under $40 During that mad rush
into Klondike not single murder was committed

that there is not to be started a sa-
