The ft^liia-Japrfh^•-itf me
Orient continues to daily become more
alarming. Every new report is ex
pected to be a declaration of war or
telling of the opening* of hostilities. It
is apparent that Russia is determined
to force matters and that Japan must
cither back down or fight. The vast
resources of Russia and her 120,000,
000 population against the little Japa
nese Empire and her 45^000,000 make
the struggle look to be an unequal one.
But Russia is far from the scene of the
contest, while Japan w close by." The
Japs have not been tested in warfare
with any civilized nation but they
cleaned up the Chinese so quickly
about a decade ago that, since the
world has had much respect for the
Yankees of the cast. The fleets of the
two powers in the Orient are appar^
ently about equally matched. The Japs
4ipve also shown themselves to be good
fighters on the water and are expected
to give a good account of themselves,,

of such a complication is too indefinite

probably mean much new maj* makmg

$700,000,000. and a wheat crop of $450,r

Panama offers to pay $1,000,000

'a& Senator.^McCumbdr's .hEl. f^lr tjie
establishment of an Indian agricul
tural school near Wahpeton appears to
be meeting with a good deal of favbr
both in congress and elsewhere. Mr.
McCiiinbcr plaints for, his project that
it is best suited to the Indian in his
present development, since in agricul
ture there is less competition than in
any other vocation and hence it is bet
ter to train the red man to be a
scientific farmer
Lthan
to prepare liim
for the industrial world. ITie experi
ence of educating Indians thus far
would seem to, confirm Mr. McCunJ
ber's views. Many Indians were farnfe
ers long before the white man appear
ed upon the American continent and
their descendants have followed that
avocation for hundreds of years. It
seems reasonable that education alorig
agricultural lines should be in line with
the best that can be done for" the ad
vancement of the red man. Souths
western North Dakota, being in the
heart of the best farming region on
earth and favorably located for those
who would likely attend an agricultural
college, is a good place for the school
and Wahpeton is to be congratulated
if the institution is located ther^

NOTED INTERPRETER:
Rochester, (N. Y.) Post
Louis Primeau, the most noted inter-'
preter among the Sioux, is dea^d at tha
Standing Rock Agency, in North Dakota!
He occupies about the same position
among the Sioux as the famous Pauj
E01 dieu did among the Chippcwas of
the northwest. For a great many years
both men played important parts 111 thii
civilizing of the west: both were noted
for the excellence with which they
could turn the Indian language into En*
glish and both were strong with the
Indians, who had confidence in them,
and trusted them implicitly. Louis Pri
meau was the son of Charles Primeau.
a French-Canadian, who was noted in
the west as the first white man to go
into what is now the state of South
Dakota to engage in trading. Primeau
did important service to the govern
ment in the Sioux uprising of eleven
years ago. It was mainly through Jjis
influence that the rebellion was confined
to Sitting Bull's followers.' For many
months,, during the Red Messiah craze,
when the Sioux were holding nightly
ghost dances, Premcau labored with the
Indians. He showed them the utter
folly of engaging in war with the white
soldiers, and his arguments had thes der
sired effect. The great body of the Sioux
remained friendly, and the troops had
little trouble in suppressing the uprising
of Sitting Bull and his Uncapapa foliowr
ers. For this service Primeau was corrr
mended by the government and received
a pension.
..STREET STORIES..
The other evening a well known
Broadway business man stepped in to
a "permit" drugstore and purchased a
bottle of his favorite brand of "spirits
fermcnti." A few doors up the street
lie dropped into a hardware store and
purchased one of those flying spring
mouse traps. He then proceeded on
homeward. Arriving at his domicile
he entered by the kitchen dour ajid
proceeded to bait his traji, arid as the
mice had been bad in the sink he de
cided to "set it" there.
"A good cool place for this liquor."
thought he and down by the trap the
bottle was placed. He then retired.
He had scarcely struck the bed when
the trap went off and there was a clat
ter in the sink. The wife immediately
arose and going to the kitchen found
that the mouse had been caught by the
leg and in its agony and fright was
dragging the trap about the sink. She
spied the bottle and picking it up dealt
the mouse a death blow, but it was also
death to the booze.

"Oh, shaw! why didn't you turn the
