versity of Idaho for testing. The
dairy department will make these
tests free of charge and this gives
the farmers an easy and mex
pensive way of checking the per-
centage of butter fat in their
cream.
The price paid by the Benewah
Creamery for cream is higher
than that paid by other cream
cries and there is no reason why
it should not have all the cream
from this vicinity.

CREAMERY PUTS IN
NEW TEST SYSTEM

The Benewah Creamery, which
started operations a week ago
Monday, reports that the supply
of cream, which was small at the
start, is constantly increasing.
Ip addition to that received from
the farmers in the vicinity of the
city, who bring it in by team,
cream is being shipped in by boat
from as far down the river as
Ramsdell and by train from Pc
dee, Plummer and st. Joe.
The company is paying cash
for the cream, the check for each
shipment received being sent at
the same time the cans are re-
turned. This is proving an at
tractive feature TO the farmers.
4 A new test scale has been in
tailed by the company which is
Ssibg1A.ly accurate, thus insur-
ing Shaf the shipper will get paid
for every bit of butter fat sent
in. So sure is the company that
the test is absolutely correct that
it is Offering to furnish bottles
free Of charge in which samples
of the cream can be sent to the

Woman Gets Burial Contract.

The board of county commits
sioners adjourned Wednesday
evening after being in sssion 1or
three days, during which time
considerable business of impor-
tance was transacted. Monday
was given up almost entirely to
the consideration and allowing OF
hills. although a few delinquent
tax matters were taken up.
Tuesday the consideration OF
delinquent tax matters was re-
sumed but a great deal of time
was taken up in the hearing on
petition to create a herd district.
The territory which the petition
ers desired to have embraced IN
the herd district is practically
the same as that embraced in
the Meadowhurst drainage dis
trict.
A petition had been presented
asking for the forming of the
district and also a strong re-
monstrance against it being Gre
ated. The farmers residing
both up and down the river op-
posed the creation of the district
for the reason that as it was
not shut off from the adjoining
territory it would prevent all
grazing in that territory, which
they stated had no value other
ppaan for grazing purposes. The
IN commissioners after listening to
the arguments advanced by both
sides. took the matter under ad-
visement and later refused to
grant the petition.
Considerable of the time OF
the board Wednesday was taken
up in the consideration of the
suits which the county has start
ed to foreclose delinquent taz
certificates. A number of the
property owners desired to pay
the taxes and save further costs
and a number of these suits
were settled and dismissed.

OF the euteute. Japan has avenged
herself upon @ermany for Wrestling
Japan's Tightful tr9phy-the LiaOtuug
peuiusula-trOm her after the Japan
China war, in the opinion Of Fiscount
Takaaki Eat0 expressed ia an article
en- the war ana Japan's position in
the world published in the Central
Review.
Germany as the ringIeader and
author of the famous triple 5nterven-
ti0D, he writes. compelled Japan to
give up her rightfuI gain under the
preteEt Of preserving the peace OF
the orient. and not only sowed the
seed of the RussO-Japauese war o.
decade after, but unIawfully occupied
a corner OF ShaDtung province on a
trifing pretext Thus the European
war afforded q golden opportunity to
Japan for avenging her long har-
bored enmity and wrath towards
Germany.
Besides. this removal Of the Ger
man influence from the east, where
Germany had menaced Japan's activ-
ity IN China and the growth of SinO-
japanese friendship with her fast in
creasiug influence, has proved q
b0undless benefit to Japan as well as
to China, the ViscOunL declares. The
apprehension entertained BY some
thinkers. mostly cursed with Ger
manOph0bia, that should the war close
in favor of Germany Japan would be
placed in a grave situation, has grad
uaIly disappeared.
Viscounr KatO does not agree with
those thinkers who deem the Anglo
japanese alliance vaIueless because
British in China are constantly COM
batting Japan's interests there, and
because Russia, against whose ambi-
ti0us the agreement was concluded,
is now no longer a menace. He says:
THE tendency Of the British in
China to combat Japan's interests in
that country cannot be denied How
ever, any action or utterance Of those
British people in China, who are in
nOwise representative figures Of the
British nation, must not be seriously
taken as mirroring the sentiments OF
the British empire, and what we have
to take into consideration is what
opinion the British government aud
enlightened British people in England
entertain towards the alliance"
AS for Russia. the eX-mjnister SAYS
it should be remembered that the
present equilibrium IN the far east IL
