Iron Supply Needed.

Although Japans commercial and IN
dustrial development since the begin
ming of the war has been all that
could be desired, MIR. Okla expresses
his belief that after the war is over
there will again be strong CONNER
cial competition among the world
mowers and he fears that Japan is not
yet in a condition which would per
nit her to cope successfully with the
competition. He remarks that one OF
the serious industrial questions OF the
present day in Japan is how to IN
crease the supply of iron.
The present condition is far from sat
isfactory because to meet the average
demand for 10000 tons year the to-
tai home supply is only $4,000 tons
The bulk of Japan's iron used in man
ufacture comes from China and the
preseat session of the diet voted an eX-
tension of Japanese iron foundr1es
which are located in kyushu This is
expected to meet the increased nome
demand for the metal Meantime, I'M
ports from the United States are in
creasing.
The Woodworking industry in Japan
has in recent years made remarkab bic
progress, but the home market must
still rely upon the foreign supply to
the amount of over s5.000,000 a year
The war. however. has prevented i'm
ports and the figures for last year
showed decrease of about 20 per cent.
compared with 1913. On the other
hand. the export of wooden fabrics to
.,us:sia last year reached over SS,o0o,-
zoe. Present prices are about 80 per
cent higher than before the war.

of tops of wool shipped from E.nglan nd,
the embargo having been removed. The
prospect is that the market will con-
tnue strong.

SPECIAL STUDY AIMED
AT TRADE EXTENSION
Serious Industrial Question Found in
Lack of an Adequate Pro-
duction of Iron.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
TOXIC. March 1.-THE removal of
some of Japans industries to China is
being recommended by Minoru Okla.
chief of the bureau of the ministry of
commerce. The suggestion is offered
as a practical means of avoiding the
Instantaneous effect of a possible
increase in Chinese import duties, and
is received with interest here because
Japan at this time is using every eff
fort to increase her markets in China
Mr.. Oka's idea is that Japanese fac
tories should produce in China the
amount of goods that would be nor
mallly exported to that country from
Japan. That is the best way, in his
opinion. for japanese business men to
prepare for the eventuality of an IN
crease of Chinese customs
The Japan Foreign Trade Association
is making special study of conditions
in China with a view to extension OF
/, AIDE relations there. Mr. Okla believes
that the best locality for the setting
up % japanese factories would be the
lanStse valley. as the population there
is tire largest, labor the cheapest. raw
materials the most abundant ana the
supply of coal convenient. In central
China generally he recommends the
organization of such industries as
spinning, weaving. -four milling. leath-
err works, glass and soapmaklnS.
printing, building materials. iron
works, matchmaking. ShlpbuildlnS,
machinery, breweries and aerated wat
ers. These industries. he points out.
have already been well developed IN
japan and il should be compa lively
easy to send to China engineers ana
skilled laborerS. He thinks it impor-
tant. however, that the enterprises
should be as much as possible JOINT
Japanese and Chinese concerns. Such
an arrangement would be mutually
beneficial and would enhance the cor
diality between the two nations.

This week the Ladies' Aid Society
of the Catholic church held their an

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday were the big days Of the
fair. It is credited with being one OF
the best ever held, not alone in the
big display, but in the financial end as
well. The ladies are to be congratulate
ed on the success of the fair, the pro-
ceeds of which are to go toward the
repair and aid of the Catholic church
The fair this year is said to have
been the best display Of goods ETC..

ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL BUSY
ts Sending Munitions to Border and
Force Can BE Increased on
? Short Notice.

Rock Island. H.. June 2f.-No or
ders for special preparations for war
have been received by Col. G. w.
Burr. commandant at Rock Island ar
senal. but the plant has for several
months been forwarding big consign-
ments Of munitions to the Mexican
border. There are about 1900 en-
ployees at the arsenal engaged In the
manufacture of army supplies and field
gun carriages. During the Spanish
American war, the arsenal force was
more than trebled and, in the event of
war with Mexico. it Is probable that
three shifts a day will operate the
$500 machine tools Of the factory. It
Is certain the arsenal will play q big
part In the equipment Of the National
Guard now being mobilized.

HENDERSON SILENT
NOTHING DOING
In Cases for Enrolment On
Wooster Roll.
Of Rejected Members--lt is Supposed
Litigation Is Ended Without Success.

The silence of Attorney D. Hender-
son of Washington, D. c., who had
something like 200 to 800 cases OF re-
jected applicants for enrolment on
the Wooster roll, gives rise to the
opinion that he must have met with
reverses in his fight to place them on
the roll, as to date nothing has been
heard from him on the matter, so far
as we can ascertain, which we take
as fact, for had anything been trans
mitted tending to show that success
of ever so small a nature had been
gained it certainly would have been
given out. It is now a certainty that
the litigation matter in this regard is
is settled so far as the enrolment of
rejected applicants are concerned and
the hopes that may have been held in
this way, by said people, are not to
be realized and the roll as made un-
der Wooster is to stand and be as
made. While it is the opinion of the
public that the said roll has many mis-
takes in many respects, the time has
gone by for it's rectification. The de-
partnlent recognized the claim of the
rejected applicants and they sent a
delegation east to place their cases
before the Department, and it was at
that time they should have showed
strong enough cause to gain recogni-
ton for their friends, but this they
did not do, and as a result lost out.
Now, after having two hearings they
still seek another, on the ground that
the second rehearsing, conducted by
Major Mclaughlin and Joe McPher-
son, was no more than a whitewash to
aid DR.. Wooster. While we are a dis
interested party in this matter, we
must say that we were sadly disap-
pointed in Major Mclaughlin, having
heard of his observation-disclosures, etc., in
matters of this kind and seeing him
predominated over by DR.. Wooster,
certainly was some surprise. What the
next move in this matter is, to be
we cannot say, but this we can say so
far as the present litigation is con-
cerned it is at an end.

BIG TIME AT
EAU CLAIRE
Grand jury In Session There
]. This Week.
More Indians Indicted Fer Introdu-
cling Liquor.

This the Grand Jury is in ses-
sion at Eau Claire, Wis, grinding out
indictments for Indians and it is un-
doubtedly q larger number of them
will be indicted as bills on every case
where an Indian is concerned will be
returned ant recommendations made
at the Federal Court for their con-
fnement for from 60 to 80 days and
500 fine. This is for Indians only. But
the time is not far distant when this
entirely farcewill be cast into oblivion
as it is of more detriment to the In
dian than good, for instance in the
case of VIM. Knight an old Indian,
who has spent thousands of dollars to
clear up parcel of land on which to
farm, last year was recommended to
be jailed for introducing liquor on the
reservation, his health was ruined
thereby and his Jail sentence was so
long that he could not farm and as a
result his farm, which in former years
was well cultivated today is growing
weed grasses and his determination
to farm has vanished. Still it is very
evident that the Indian will for some
time yet be subjected to this work
Of the government that has sworn to
protect them at all times but has
failed to do SO and as result the
jails throughout are reaping a fine
harvest in the keeping of government
words for violation of minor charact-
ers. We read Of monopolies, corpora
tions, etc., what about this great ma
chine of justice? Is it monopoly to
pay a yearly dividend to it's office
holders It begins to look that way
from the large number of dividend
payers that are indicted each year
and recommended to pay their way
through the criminal educational col
lege and all with the sanction Of the
Indian Department. We have heard of
many raw deals handed out to In
dians. But good Lord, what is rawer
than the present system of railroading
Indians to jail a mere trife. We
arei in that cen. of money grabbers
and the Indian seems to be the easiest
tc get. Dividends is the watchword
under the guise of Grand Jury.
(In an article we are now preparing
we will diclose many startling facts in
connection with this Grand Jury JUS
tice so-called.

With the Democrat National Con-
vention over and candidates selected
that will win, naturally our thoughts
turn to county politics. Who will make
up the ticket that will attempt the
run this fall, knowing as they do, that
they have no organization behind
them. Is it not time that a move was
made looking toward an attempt at
doing something along this line. If the
Democrats of the county do not in
tend to do something shortly, move
looking to placing an Independent tick
ct in the field will be started. But the
real issue is to get behind Wilson.

Whlle 1C is freely spoken OF InaC
the $4,000 appropriation was not en-
tirely used up on the streets the fact
remains that the $4,000 has vanished
so therefore must have been used on
the streets and roads, otherwise it
would have been returned to the fund
from which it was issued. 1t must be
remembered that the J. S. Stearns
Lbr. Co. drove an awful lot of piling
on the banks of Bad River from La
pointe's store to nearly up to the st.
Mary's church, which certainly cost
neat sum Of money in piling and Ia
Dor and certainly was paid from the
said appropriation and besides the fill
they made near the bridge to keep the
river from washing out several bust
ness blocks. 1t must be charged to the
same appropriation and besides all
these items it cost something to make
roads and streets.
This year all we could secure was
$3.50 for repairs, but in conversation
with Agent P. S. Everest we were in
formed that in the course of his
conversation with L. K. Baker recent
ly, he was given to understand that
the entire Verk. Vkl.,. Of repairing + the
streets would be gone through and
placed in as good condition as pre-.
vious, regardless of what was appro-
priated to do so with. Mr.. Everest
was very elated over the remarks of
Mr.. Baker as it means the entire re-
pair Of our village. He also informs US
that good, big substantial appropri-
alton will be made for this village
next year for repair of streets and
roads.
What we now cannot see, why this
appropriation will be necessary for
our village next year if it is placed
in as good repair as it was formerly,
this year. But we believe good, big
substantial appropriation for the
building of good roads on the reser-
walton would be far more appreciated
by the village, unless similar flood
hits it again next spring, which is
entirely unlikely. Roads are what are
needed right now, and badly, for the
developing of country, that will as
soon <as good roads are obtainable,
blossom forth and be heralded as
the foremost farming country in this
entire section. Of course until the
country is opened by good roads it
will remain just as it is today,
dormant area of good farming land.
The idea that seems to be very pre-
