Japan Sees Need Of Change.

In consequence of the ever-increas-
ing magnitude Of Japan's economic re-
lationship with foreign nations it has
been found that the japanese system
Of weights and measures, which is a
relic Of the feudal regime, gives rise
to considerable difficulty and incon-
venience in trade because of its total
difference from any accepted system
of the world measurements. Accord
ingly, the question Of radical reforma-
ton of the existing system has long
been considered 1t is now reported
that after a careful consideration Of
the subject by a commission, which
was established in the department OF
agriculture and commerce for that pur-
pose, the authorities concerned have
reached a decision that the French
metric system should be universally
adopted.-East and West News.

came the name of the state. A
nickname for the state is the
Blackwater State.
OF the early Spanish explora-
tons little is known, except that
Coronado probably reached the
great plain of this region in 1541.
More than one hundred and
twenty-five years later Father
Marquette noted the Platte river
on his trip up the Missouri. In
the beginning of the Nineteenth
century the Lewis and Clark ex-
petition skirted the boundaries
of the present state and in 1903,
Manuel Lisa established the
first known settlement which was
fur trading post at Bellevue.
This was just after the Louisiana
Purchase had brought Nebraska
into United States territory.
Omaha was established as
post of the American Fur COM
pany in 1925 and Nebraska City
the following year.
With the California gold rush
in 1849 many pioneers passed
through Nebraska and some
stopped and settled there al
though there was law forbid
ding settlements among the In
dians. The real colonization
boom, however, started with the
passing Of the Kansas Nebraska
act In 1854, which arranged that
these two sections should become
free or slave states at the die
tate of their inhabitants. The
Nebraska territory was then or
ganized and reached from the
fortieth to the forty-ninth paral-
lei. In 1861, the region north
of 43 was made into Dakota
territory. The Idaho territory
was also created, which re-
duced Nebraska to its present
size of 1880 square miles, ex-
cept for a slight addition in the
Northwest which was made in
1882.
In 1867 Nebraska was admit
ted as the 37th state over the
presidents veto. 1t has eight
presidential electors.
