Count Witte was regarded in some
respects as one of the most remark
able men his country had produced,
but his reputation was even greater
abroad than at home. Throughout
his career, during which he accom-
plished much for Russia, he had
many and powerful enemies although
his great ability and remarkable ca
pacity for work never was ques-
toned. Regardless of his work as q
statesman, his chief fame in Russia
rests upon his development Of manu-
featuring industries, the expansion of
railroads and the placing of the mon
etary system upon a gold basis.
Witte gave subcontracts and gov
ernment orders until factories and
mills We're running full blast Then
he had the state take over the private
railroads. To do all this he borrowed
immense sums in France. Under the
plea of regulating the liquor traffic
he had the state take over the vodka
business of the empire, thus vastly
increasing the government revenue.
At the Portsmouth conference, fol-
lowing the Russo-Japanese War; he
succeeded in gaining terms under
which Russia was not obliged to pay
a cash indemnity to Japan. This was
considered a remarkable achievement
and Witte again became a hero in
his own country.

FOR THE ARTS OF PEACE
INSTEAD OF WAR

WASHINGTON, Feb. FL will SUBJ
scribe to the program for a greater
navy, whether two or ten battleships
are demanded, whenever the honor OF
the nation requires the fulfllment OF
such a program. But / do not take
stock in the argument that an over
whelming preparedness for war is pro-
motive of peace.
I would not be understood as min1m-
izing the Importance of holding dig
nified position in the congress of ma
tions, even to spending money for the
navy and the army, and especially for
coast defenses. But would subscribe
to a disarmament movement among
the nations more cheerfully. In the
concert of world powers I would strip
away the exhausting millions which
go to the military establishments. In
it's place let us have absolute guaran-
tees of arbitration, with advance
pledges against territorial temptation.
But the merchant marine? That's
another thing. Let US go to the very
limit to place our flag upon every sea.
/ am for the arts of peace instead OF
war. Our government appropriates
S17,000,O00 annually to promote agri-
culture. It expends $900,000,000 upon
the habiliments of war.-Congressman

RAIN BLESSING TO SOUTH,
SAYS WEATHER MAN

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2.-The rain
which fell in Southern California inter-
mittently for two days was an unmixed
blessing to the country and there is
absolutely no danger of flood condi-
lions arising from the storm, accord
ing to United States Weather Fore
caster Ford A. Carpenter.
"There is never danger in this
country of floods from the first Storm
said Mr.. Carpenter. "It is the second
heavy rainfall, coming on the heels of
the first, that produces flood condi-
lions.
"Such storms as this are absolutely
indispensable to Southern California.
They fill the reservoirs, both above
and underground, and give the citrus
groves drenching that beats all the
irrigation in the world"
The storm broke into two parts, the
northern part travelling to the north
east, and the southern portion going
to Arizona.

it that the exposition would be closed

the papers published the fact that the
San Francisco exposition gates would
be closed until Feb. 20, they thought
the San Diego exposition was meant.

ARIZONA SWEPT BY
DISASTROUS STORM

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. Looming
close on the heels of the disastrous
flood which swept this section month
ago, southern and central Arizona
were visited by storm accompanied
by flood conditions of extraordinary
severity.
Rains beginning Wednesday have in
undated many productive areas be-
tween this city and Bisbee, destroyed
scores of homes on ranches, and com
pletely marooned two cities-Globe
and Miami.
1t is estimated that at least 100000
damage has been done by the devas-
tating waters in the Salt River valley
alone. Rising to a higher level than
it has in twenty years, the river
reached it's maximum height. Thou
sands of ranchers, caught totally I'M
prepared, fled to their housetops,
where they are now battling the floods.
Many of these latter were rescued
by county officials in boats, while at
least seventy-ive had their homes
swept away.
Here in Phoenix the streets were
rivers, and the animals in the local
menageries, valued at $4,000, were
drowned. e..

TO MAKE 1900 RIFLES
A DAY, THREE YEARS

Lion, N. Y, Feb. 2.-War con,
tracts which have been obtained by
the Remington Arms & Ammunition
company are expected to result in a
big business boom in Lion, and some
believe the size of the village will be
doubled as result of the construction
by the arms company of a $1,000,000
plant in which to carry out the con-
tract.
Under the reported terms agreed
upon by one of the warning nations of
Europe Great Britain
the plant must have an output of 1900
army rifles a day, and the contract is
such huge one that three years will
be necessary to fill it at this rate.
Desperate efforts have been made
by the company to prevent newspapers
giving the public any information
about the construction of the plant or
the contract to furnish arms to a for
eign nation. Members of the Lion
board of trade, acting on suggestions
made by officers of the arms company,
met informally and appointed a com
mittee to see that the newspapers
we're hushed.

PROSPERITY IS MANIFESTED
BY |. A. COUNTY REPORTS
LOS ANGELES COUNTY CONTIN-
UES TO GROW INDUSTRIALLY
Monthly Reports of Officials Show
Enormous Gains Financially Also
Large Balance in the
County Treasury

LOS ANGELES, Feb. with the
end of the first month in 1915, reports
from official sources show that pros
perity still abides with Los Angeles
county, and that the city and county
are continuing to grow financially and
industrially.
County Recorder Logan's records
show that during the month just closed
between and per cent more bust
ness was transacted than during the
month of December. Also it is report
ed that during the past week there
have been more inquiries in the re-
corder's Office concerning property on
the part of newcomers than during any
similar period of 1914.
Another hint at the prosperity of
1915 is shown by the report of County
Treasurer Hunt. His statement shows
that during the month just closed the
county has paid out S1,468, O15.32 for
various improvements. The balance
on hand was $3,741, 1921.
Reports from my deputies through
out the county show that splendid con-
ditions are prevailing" said County
Assessor Hopkins, in reviewing the
work of the month just closed. "The
county is being now resurveyed for
the purpose of equalization. Reports
show that the values are holding up,
and in many places substantial in
crease is shown"
Prosperity is shown by the county
tax collector. Collector WEIGH report
ed that from October IA, 1914, up to
yesterday a total of $7,019,320.53 in
taxes had been collected, as against
$6,O64, 1928 for the same period of
1913 and 1914. There remains to be
collected of the yearly tax balance of
$5O42,455.71. Collector WEIGH stated
that the first installment of taxes had
been paid up better than last year. No
trouble was being experienced in max
ing many collections, he said, and this
he said was evidence of the increasing
prosperity of the community.

CORONA LINE MAY
OPEN FEBRUARY 18

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 2-Another neces-
sary link in the Riverside-Corona troll
ley line was forged when the crossing
over the Santa Fe about four miles
north of Corona was put in place.
Track had been laid on both sides of
this crossing, and the placing of the
crossing was necessary before further
work could be done. There is every
probability now that the Riverside
Corona line will be opened for traffic
on Feb. IS. The opening of the line
will be celebrated by the Corona peo-
pie with a proper demonstration, and
the Arlington and Riverside chambers
of commerce will see to it that the city
of Riverside and it's live suburbs are

1880, 900 ITALIAN TROOPS
ARE READY FOR WAR

ROME, Feb. 1.-Italys military and
naval preparations for war are COM
plete. They cost an even $1,O00,000,-
900. Enormous difficulties have been
overcome, but Italy at last is prepared.
Italy's military strength is:
First and second line troops, 1861
900.
Reserve, 100000.
The navy is already modified, I'M
der the command of the Duke of
Abruzzi.
Two more dreadnaughts will be
commissioned this month They will
increase the fighting power of the Ital-
ian navy tremendously.
Italy has 1,0OO,OOO,O00 liras in her
war chests, 100000 tons of wheat
stored, and her policy of watchful
armed neutrality now has entered on
a decisive phase. Every Italian in
touch with official affairs is confident
that if this country enters the war on
the side of the allies she will be able
to strike a tremendous blow at Ger
many and Austria.
