questions should be exempt from the
jurisdiction of the league.

japanese leaders have alrnusf ceased
to hope for settlement of the i'm
migration dispute while the present
administration is in power, and their
chances for favorable action under the
next administration are slim, Fol
lowing up the declarations made by
Senator Harding, Governor Cox has
been telling the Pacific coast people
that he believes they are right in
wishing to exclude the Japanese. It
seems certain that the next admins
tration, whe Their Republican or Demo-
cratic, will he pressed to terminate the
present trei ty with Japan, so that ex-
clusion NAV be legal. With Califor-
MAS apparent determination to adopt
additional restrictive legislation, the
race question On the coast becomes
more serious daily; but wise and well
informed persons. in 10th America and
Japan, have little fear that it will
result in war.
In accordance with an agreement
made last July between Japan and
Asiatfc Russia, the japanese war Of
fee has evacuated Khabarovsk and
the only Japanese garrisons left in.
Siberia are at VladivOstOk and along
the Usuri railway Asiatic Russia, it
is said, has agreed to preserve the
peace, to maintain friendly relations
with Japan and to abolish communism.
The Polish-Russian peace confer
ence opened in Riga, but it was sur
rounded by an atmosphere of gloom
and the prediction was made freely
that the results will be nil. Each side
distrusts the other. and on certain
questions it seems impossible for them
to get together. One Of these is Ukrai-
MIA, which the Reds assert is already
self-determined in favor of soviet rule.
The Ukrainians who follow Petlura
deny this and say their soviet rulers
are foreigners. They have sent rep
resentatives to the Riga meet, but
these are not admitted by the reds.
Disarmament by both Poland and Rus
STA was declared by Adolph Joffe, head
of the red delegation, to be the only
guarantee of stable peace.
Military operations against the So
Wet forces went right along, and
their enemies scored several decided
victories. The united Polish Ukrainian
front east of Lemberg was moving
forward at the rate of fifteen miles
day and had reached Rovno and
Kamenets Podolsk, and the Ukrainian
cavalry had occupied the latter i'm
portant city. In the Grodno region
the soviet government claimed to have
defeated the Poles and to have taken
number of towns. But the Moscow
war reports have been almost uni
formly false since the collapse of the
invasion of Poland.
Following the plan which was out
lined last week General Wrangel has

the Dnieper river and, at last reports,

RESCUE PILOT

Pilot John L. Eaton of the United States aerial mail service,
who passed over Eureka and was later reported lost in Nevada,
arrived in Salt Lake Friday afternoon at l o'clock at Buena
Vista field, carrying Eli pounds of mail, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. He made a good landing against a moderate wind.
Eaton is a former lieutenant in the air service of the army.
His nome is in San Francisco, and he has been in the air mail
service two weeks. This is his first fight between Reno and
Salt Lake.
Eaton left Reno at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. He had
not gone far before the left bank of his motor began to miss and
the engine was b~ackfring. His compass was off and he was
flying fifteen miles further south than he thought. While the
engine was missing he lost 5000 feet and was flying at an alti-
tude of 500 feet when he decided to land.
He was in Butte valley and landed at IL :05 o'clock Tues
day. believing that he would be picked up soon. He was there
two days and two nights. without food and only with radiator
water to drink. On the third day he was found by a sheep
herder, who said he had seen Eaton fall and lust thought he
would stroll over to see if he was all right" The sheepherder
rode into Ely, 40 miles away, on horseback to telegraph to Ma
Their field, Sacramento.
Eaton was found by Lieutenant R. Kelly, who flew from
Sacramento to Butte valley. A mechanic adjusted the motor
and Eaton took the air again, landing at Elko. He left Elko at
1855 o'clock yesterday morning and arrived here two hours
and FIVE minutes later.
Eaton had stayed with his plane all of the time and reports
having had but two meals since Tuesday. He says that while
he was lost he felt all right except that he was mighty hum
cry" He will leave for Reno with a mail plane to-day or to-.
morrow. The plane is in good condition and was not damaged
by the forced landing in Butte valley.

to remove the truck.

ORE SHIPPERS GIVEN
ADVICE BY ASSAYER
Errors in Loading and Unwise Mix
ing Costing Producers Large
Sums OF Money Each Year

Errors in loading ore and in con-
signing shipments OF mineral to
smelling points r costing miners
considerable money each year, ac-
cording to Henry NJ. Atkinson, gener-
al manager Of the r. H. Officer Co.,
assayers, Salt Lake City. In regard
to shipping ore to smelling points,
Mr.. Atkinson says:
There is a widespread and often
erroneous impression in the minds
Of ore shippers that a high-grade ore
must necessarily be mixed at the time
of shipment with a low-grade ore in
order to make al average grade of
ore which will pay to ship. The
miner does not appreciate that the
mixture of the ores can be as well
made on paper as in actuality in the
abroad cars.
For the best results, the two clas-
ses of ore should be loaded and samp-
led separately. and II the analysis at
the smelter shows that a more favor
able purchase price would be re-
ceived II these ores were mixed, this
mixing could be as well done on pap
er by the calculation Of the metallic
contents of the two lots as II both
were mixed physically"

Railroad development in oregon

There are several biind-cnd rail-
roads In Oregon and for years there
has been a demand that some OF
these be linked up, II not all OF
them. Now that the war is over
and railroads are back In private
control and the government has al
lowed a stated interest. something
may be done to provide additional

to some such ARRANGEMENT were pre-

nowhere. One measure provided
that the state should raise fund
bof SO 1000 900 TO bo used in aiding
the building OF railroads.
The measure stipulated that the
state would pay from the fund 30
per cent Of the cost OF building rail-
roads. Thus. for every s750.000
spent In building a railroad the state
would give an additional $3.50 900.
