MAKE PUBLIC THE
JAP'S VIEWPOINT
Digest Of Representations
Made to Chinese For
cign Minister.
AGAINST MONARCHY


correspondence of the Associated rressD

resentatious made to La Cheng-
IIsiaug. the minister of foreign af-
fans. by the Japanese charge DAT
faires. supported 10y the British and
Russian ministers on october ZN
against the restoration of the mon
archy. While the japanese legation
does not support the actual wording
of the printed message, Mr., Ouata,
the Japanese charge, says that 1t is
in effect the representations laid be
fore the Chinese minister Of foreign
affairs
The text Of the note published is
as follows. The movement which is
now being promoted in China for
muuarchcal restoration has caused
much anxiety in the minds of those
Interested i'm this country although
il is said to have been brought about
in accordance with the Will of the
people For instance, there are not
wanting signs of unrest at Shanghai,
while i'm provinces along the Yang
tse valley and in the south generally
there are not lacking undcrcurcnts
opposed to the mOnarchical move
ment Indications of unrest are be-
coming more and more apparcnt and
it Is not improbable that as soon as
a convenient opportunity Is offered to
the opposing party some instantane-
Gus uprising may be expected
Should BE Cautious.
AT the present juncture the ma
tious i'm Europe are plunged i'm war
which assumes a graVcr aspect day
by day. and there seems scarcely any
prospect OF its immediate termlna-
tiOn. No one can fOrCtCll the date
on which the peace Of Europe Will be
restored Therefore we suggest that
under the present circumstances the
nations of the Far East should be
cautious and careful i'm the admins
trauOn Of their affairs, so as to main
tain the general situation i'm this part
of the world. This we deem is of
prime Importance. Now, If the move
mcnt for a monarchical restoration
be promoted at the cost of peace and
order in this country which may be
disturbed by the opposing party at
any moment thereby causing great
disaster to the people and making the
foundation Of the country unstable, 1t
would be not only a misfortune to
China. but the interests of the nations
who are more or less interested in
this country would also be affected
This is the logical effect which the
course of events will produce.
"Wheu we speak of this We tremble
with fear and anxiety. Since Prcsi-
dent Yuan Shi-kais Inauguration as
the president Of China he has done
many things which are calculated tc
maintain peace and order in the Fan
East He has suppressed internal dis

this copper used on the battlefield and sunk in the oceans is gone for good. It will never be recovered and used over again as scraps as is the case with copper in arts and industries. Another great factor in the copper market is the transfer of the control of this metal from Lon don to New York. Heneeforth New York is destined to be the financial center of the world and t will control the copper market of the world.
 'sIt may be of interest to say that I have taken a lease for a period of fifteen years upon the Jumbo mine from the Alaska Industrial Company. In the future I will per sonally operate the property as lessee. I plan during the coming year to make certain improvements which will, l believe, improve the efficiency and economy of the oper- ations. Greater power will be de veloped as the property has been handicapped in this respect.
 'T also have undertaken the erec- tion of a grinding mill for the treatment of Barytes ore from the Lime Point deposit. This fac tory will be built at Sulzer. The machinery is now being purchased by men thoroughly familiar with the requirements and the plant will be completed as early as weather conditions may permit. A small sawmill and improvements in the pipe lines will be installed at once"

SENATOR SULZER
 IS OPTIMISTIC
SAYS GOOD THINGS ABOUT ALASKA. FIRES A SHOT AT
 THE DELEGATE

Senator ChaS. A. Suizer, Who IS stopping in town for few days on his way to Sulzer from New York, called at the Progressive-M Miner office yesterday desirous of seeing the potatoes that were recently re- ceived from Ed. Thornton of Sulzer.
 The Senator was quite perturbed about the matter and claimed the Progressive Miner has been making some very strong hints for more vegetables, but to the best nowl- edge of the Senator. they are all gone for this season and none will be forthcoming until next sum- mer. But. said MT. Sulzer, "I have not been trying to grow prize vegetables for exhibition purposes, but have simply sent you over the run of my stuff. but if it is going to resolve itself into a compe- tion for prize vegetables, you just wait until next season and will crow some exhibition articles.
 Speaking of agriculture. want 70 again express anew my confi- dence in the great possibilities of Alaska. The day will surely come when the agricultural wealth of Alaska will be greater than it's mineral and fisheries wealth com bined. This is confirmed by the statements of leading men all through the various sections of Al aska. Capital must come first to open and develop the mineral tim Der and other resources. This will bring great numbers of people to Alaska and the agricultural pro duets will be produced as logical sequence to feed the people. It has been so in all great developments of our country and history will but repeat itself in the development of Alaska.
 We have had a very pleasant trip to San Francisco and New York. The exposition at San Fran cisco was 2 magnificent institution, and probably nothing finer has ever been witnessed. No one can ever regret having made the trip to see this great work.
 T found conditions in the East remarkably good; in Fact this is true nearly throughout the entire country. Wonderful crops have made the farming sections of our neople very prosperous; the rail- roads have so much business that they are at a less in many instances to know how to handle the great volume: the steel industry, which is the hasic one of the country, waS never in such condition as at the present time when all plants are working at their maximum capacity and in most cases no orders are being received for delivery earlier than next fall. The metals are all in excellent demand, and this pros porous condition of all our resourc- es is rapidly permeating all lines of business, and it is generally believ- ed that 1916 will be one of the most prosperous years in our history.
 ''The copper business is in fina shape and there are no stocks on hand. The best opinion is that the price of copper will be good for nur Der of years. and this is of par ticular interest to the Ketchikan district as copper is our chief re- sour in my judgement. There will ba many inquiries regarding our deposits during the next year.

SPLENDID YIELDS ON DEM
ONSTRATION FARMS
At Arcadia, Mo-, and Hope, Ark.

The Iron Mountain Agricul-
tural Department, has during
the past three years, done some
work in oat production which
will be of great value to the
farmers of Southern Missouri.
In view of the poor yields of
spring oats, caused by frequent
drouths when the crop was be-
ing made, and in view of the de-
STABILITY of having a cover
crop to hold the soil during the
winter, the department, which
is under the direction of D. C.
Welty, Commissioner of Agri-
culture, three years ago start
ed growing winter turf oats on
the Iron Mountain Demonstra-
ton Farm at Arcadia, Mo. Each
year the crop has been consid-
erably more successful than
spring oats, the yields last year
being about 80 bushels per acre,
and this year 40 IL bushels per
acre.
The seed grown last year on
the Arcadia Farm has been dis
tributed to various farmers
both in that vicinity and in the
vicinity of Poplar Bluff, and the
practicability of the crop is
evinced by the success of Mr.. M.
l.. Clardy, at Pennington, who
made a yield of about SO bush
els with seed furnished by the
railroad. Mr.. Clardy also dem
onstrated the fact that the Iron
Mountain Agricultural Depart
ment has really developed a win
ter oat which is fully acclimated,
for on an adjoining field he
planted some fine Southern
grown seed of the same variety.
This Southern-grown seed was
entirely killed out during the
winter, although the seed devel-
oped on the Iron Mountain Farm

Worse Storm Since
the Year SO
200 PEOPLE PERISH--$500,.
3 100000 PROPERTY LOSS.

Twelve people persisted and
more than two thousand rem
dered homeless, with a loss
of property exceeding one mil
lion dollars in the Des Peres
and Merimac Valleys near St.
Louis. The total loss of life in
the recent storm, including Gal
weston, perhaps exceeds 200,
with an aggregate loss of prop
erty of $100,000,000.
The Agricultural Board esti-
mates the damage to Illinois
crops at $15,OO0,O0O. The city
of Newport, Ark, is entirely
covered with water from White
River, estimated from 5 to IL
feet deep. The population of
5000 are marooned in a couple
of large hotels and Court House.
The property loss in White
River valley alone is estimated
at $1,000,000.

Schuman Bros. have purchas-
ed Of Joe Burgess 80 acres of
land on Pilot Knob. Included
in the 80 is the crest of the
mountain, the highest point in
Phelps county and several adj
joining counties. Schumans are
uncertain as to what they will
do with their new possession. 1t
has been suggested that they
found tuberculosis sanitari-
UNI there, establish a wireless
station or Government obser-
vatory or even use it for a land
ing place for the proposed aer-
ial route from st. Louis to

are that they will cut the tie
timber as soon as possible and
get as much of the land as pos
sible under cultivation.-Rolla

made a fine yield.

made fine yield.
The importance of these yields
is shown by the fact that the
estimate of oat yield for Mis-
souri, as a whole this year is 20
bushels per acre, as compared
with % bushels per acre last
year, 23.9 bushels as the ten
year average.
This work has been watched
with great interest by the state
and government men; and the
County Farm Advisors, partic-
ularly in Southeast Missouri,
will probably take up the entire
available supply of seed this
year for use on farms in their
territory.
Results in both wheat and
oats during the past year on
the Iron Mountain Demonstra-
ton Farm at Hope, Ark. illus
trated the great possibilities of
the cheap Arkansas lands for
grain production. The wheat
yields averaged 20 bushels per
acre and oats Ga bushels per
acre. A test field, put in for
comparison, of Fulgrum oats
and winter turf oats showed a
yield of II bushels per acre of
the Fulgrum oats and 81 bushels
per acre of the winter turf oats.
Other fields of winter turf oats
yielded respectively sc bushels
per acre, 70 bushels per acre, GA
bushels per acre. The lowest
yield was 81 bushels per acre.
The Iron Mountain Demon
stration Farm at Hope was
started on a piece of land that
had been in cotton over fifty
years, and which was practically
worn out. The yields mention
ed, made under practical farm
conditions and methods, show
what can be done even on worm
out land.
After charging up rent on
land, expense of seed, fertilizer,
