BREAK With RUSS
Asiatfc Gateway Province De-
cIareS Her independence.
Provisional Govt Has Been
Established at VIadiVOStOk.


Toxic, Dec. 10.-Vladivostok. Rus
sia's principal Asiatic port and gate
way for the trans-Siberian railway,
with Amur province, have both de-
clared their independence, according
to reports received here today.
A provisional government has been
established.
ministry for the new republic
met and sent notification of the sec
tons independence to other self-gov-
erning districts Of Russia, it was
stated.
Official circles in Toxic had not re-
ceived any formal confirmatory adj
vices on the report, but it was gener-
ally accepted as true here
Vast Allies Supplies There.
Loss of VladivostoK to the Bolshe-
wiki, or to any other Russian faction
not representative of the whole ma
ton, is a serious one to the allies be
cause of the vast quantity of supplies
and munitions stored there.
Anarchy is reported thruout this
part of Asiatic- Russia. A Russian
American society has held an organi
cation meeting at Vladivostok. Its
purpose is to maintain order. Several
hundred Americans and Russians at
tended, including the American con-
sui and the allied naval commander.
The latter, reports asserted, urged the
Russians to Cooperate with the allies.
Chinese Troops Maintain Order.
Hardin seems to be wavering to-
ward support of the Bolsheviki, or to-
ward independence. Upon five hun
bred Chinese troops now in the city
depends maintenance of order and
protection of foreigners lives and
property from anarchy.
Neither japanese nor Russian min
listers in the Orient have recognized
the BolsheViki regime.

DOME LOCKED UP.
Visitors Are To Be Discouraged
at the State House.
Officials Take Every PrecautiOn
Against German Intrigue.

Trips to the state house dome went
under the ban today under an order
bv the state executive council. 1t Is
probable the lid will be placed on
dome trips until after the war. The
order of the executive council is the
first of a series of drastic orders to
protect state property against enemy
sympathizers.
Before the end of the week the state
house is to be patrOlled and policed
by plain clothes detectives. A num-
Der OF men are to be stationed in the
state house, state printing plant, Me-
mortal hall and state heating plant TO
protect the property against possible
damage. While no specific order to
that effect has been made, 1t is prop
able that visitors to state buildings
will be denied the right to carry grips
are inspected. Similar orders have
been issued in Washington and in
eastern state capitals.
Take No Chances.
While there is little probability that
detectives and special police will ques-
ton all visitors to the state house,
there will be a general tendency to
discourage joy trips to all state and
public buildings. Persons with BUSH
ness in various departments will be
permitted to visit state offices, but
will not be expected to loaf or loiter
in the building.
THE dome is locked" said Colonel
Hanback,, custodian of the state house.
1T would be a mighty easy thing for
someone to leave a few explosives in
the dome and we don't want to take
a chance. Someone might get no.
ton to wreck the building. 1 don't
know how long the order will be eff
fective Maybe until after the war
A. least one man is happy. That is
John McBee, state house guide. He
is saved several score trips a day to
the dome

after a janitor had spent the day
nursing a furnace that had to be over
heated to get warmth into the struc-
ture. :
At a number of churches services
were possible only after the janitors
had spent the entire night pumping
heat into the rooms.
The trouble was not brought about
by a shortage of coal but by the fact
that it was impossible to get enough
fire in the furnaces to heat the build
ings comfortably. In contrast with
the churches that shivered, several
pastors reported this morning that no
trouble whatever was experienced.

BOOSTS FOR HOME
While TOURING

Hawaiis sugar output last year
was just about the same as Montana s
wheat crop. approximately $60,000,00O,
according to C. r. McClave, a wheat
buyer and flour mill builder Of the
Northwest, who left in the Great Nor
them this morning with his wife and
little son after flying business visit
and pleasure jaunt to the islands.
McClave made some more approx
mate comparisons which were inter
esting. He said that Montana produc.
ed about twice as much in copper as
Hawaii did in sugar for 1916-about
$120. 100000 worth, and about half as
much in livestock or about $50 900 900.
Up in the Northwest the farmers
now think and talk wheat and go to
bed dreaming OF it, he says. There
used to be gold mines in Montana in
the ground; now they bloom instead
on top in the form Of golden haryests
to the tune of $3.50 and more bushel
until the ranchmen even hate to waste
q half acre of space on garden truck.
Building mills, operating them and
buying wheat from the farmers is
McClave's chief business. In the
meantime he never misses an oppor-
tunity to boost It's the wheat" flour
he represents. even here in Hawaii,
or to put in good words for his home
state.
