 RIO DE JANEIRO. Brazil. May 2S.- Brazil is on the verge of de claring war against Germany. This morning the President sent d note to congress suggesting the declaration, and this afternoon further action was taken by the chamber Of deputies. The req son for the probable declaration IS the continuation of the SUD marine warfare by the Germans.
 By it's action this afternoon the Brazilian chamber Of deputies re yoked the Brazilian declaration of neutrality in the German-Am- erican war This action is con sidered tantamount to war declaration against the German empire by the Brazilian govern ment. although the actual decla- ration yet remains to be made.

KOKOM0 MEN
 ARE BUILDING
 A LARGE DAM

That he and his partners are now building the largest automatic dam ever constructed in Interior Alaska at the head Of Kokomo creek one that will hold thousands of gallons Of watcr-is the statement Of Billy James. the well known Fairbanks creek oldtimer. who is recent ar rival in town from Kokomo. where he has been prospecting all winter. It is their intention, according to Mir. James, to ground sluice large area of ground In a short time. and then to start shoveling into the boxes in the good old fashioned way.
 MT. James partners in the under taking are Luke and Jack Eagan. brothers of Dan Eagan. the Fair banks creek merchant. and Jim Cor ham. The four men have been pros peCting on Kokomo all winter and nave found prospects which will jus, tify a continuation of the work. And n the opinion of MT. James they will have reaped a goodly supply of gold when winter closes down again,
 The partners had intended to ope- rate on a large scale and procure machinery for their operations. They have now decided, however. that they will work by the hand method dur ing the coming summer, waiting to see what it will bring forth, before undertaking too much expense.

{ Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 28.- The house today passed the admin istration's food survey bill. The senate is considering a similar bill, and it ls expected that it will pass shortly After they have passed both will go to conference commit tee for adjustment.
 From the department or agricul ture comes the announcement that within three weeks after President Wilson signs the bill veritable army of food surveyors will be in the field in all parts of the country. It is planned to have fully 1000 de partmental employees engaged in the work, and it is estimated that fully l50,000 more will assist as volun- teers.
 In this manner it is thought that he preliminary survey of food con ditions can be made in months time, and that rough report ol the situation can then be made.
