said and more Is true according to Melville StoneT head pt the Associated Press Just back from visit tohe Asiatic countries MrStone like ilr Frewen discounts the talk of war with Jafanbuthe is greatly impressed with the new methods commercial and military which naye been adopted since the Russo Japanesewar and the lesson they carry to Americans Mr Stone was particularly struck with the facility of the little yellow man in making better use than we do of our own devices By adopting our system of sanitation the death rate bas been Jofrefed to such a point that the population is increasing jnucn more rapidly than here or In Eu rope intimately says Mr Stone we shall find ourselves face to face with overpowering numbers The danger Is not immediate but its seriousness and significance lose nothing from the fact that the late war opened the eyes of the Oriental peoples and they came to the consciousness that an Asiatic behind a gun can kill Just as many people as a white man can India no less than Asia took her cue from the repulse of the Caucasians in Manchuria and whether the British can long hold the hordes of dlscpntentediBen galese In check remains to be seen On the whole Mr Stone is convinced that the Asiatic situation will In the oncoming years be a most Interesting one The warning is sounded In no uncertain tones and there Is no lackof col Jateral proof that our Interests In Asia are In a very bad way with ho prospect of betterment The open door In Manchuria would avail us but little to extend bur trade In a country rwhere we are being undersold Apparently neither Mr Stone nor Mr Frewen sees a way open for us to compete with Asia They suggest no counter move policy Must weabapdop our pretension in hat part of the world Or win tne other great powers whose interests also are Imperiled come to See that the Community of Interests imperatively demands the adoption of Secretary Knoxs proposal for joint acquisition and control of the Manchurlan railroad system and incidentally the in dustrlal and agricultural products of the country Grazer vs Farmer Daniel Rankin the most extensive farmer of America with 30000 acres in a state of high cultivation in the most fertije regions of those two magnificent agricultural States Iowa and Missouri and whose corn crop alone Is 1250000 came unanimously coursefroip theibusbels annually declares that this country will see no more cheap beef or pork It Is said that Farmer Rankin Increases the fertility of his soil every year and that is what makes the successful farmer But his Idea Is that cheap beef and poric cannot be produced on high priced lands There are others perhaps less pecuniarily interested than Mr Rankin who hold that rich lands make cheap cattle and swine And they do if the farmer knows bis business as Mr Raniun certainly does Among the multiplicity of reasons ad vanced for the high price of beet Is the declaration that the ranch is transformed Into the farm Tfiat ought to cheapen thecost of beef Take a ranch 10 miles square 64000 acres Perhaps 2500 cattle can be grazed on that terrttoryr It will make 400 farms of J6V acres each and if the A 000 farmers occupying them know anything about successful farming each one will sell off bis place 25 bullocks annual lyVf 1600 pounds per head fit for the butcher That would be lOOyOOO beeves against the 25t00 when the 100 square nlleS was a ranch and they will be better beeves in every particubir heavier and fatterf and theyougtit ta be cheap fir Nor Is that all each bullock would contribute materially to the

the production before thsitariff bill passed Congress Mining in Colorado never was in a healthier condition than it is now and the Industry is more flourishing tnan er before More gold Is belngtproduced not onlyjn Colorado but in all the other States where the precious metals are mined I believe one of the reasons that the cost of Hvfng Is sq high is the present great production of all

filed for saloon licenses and when 1 left there a few days ago theywere still being made It Is believed that Gary will have more than 250 saloons as soon as they are allowed to open Every available vacant store shanty and dwelling has been leased for saloon purposes and one enterprising man who couldnt find a location has driven clles in tha shore of the Calumet River and is build ing a saloon on them This almost universal demand for tha saloon in Gary is caused by the laboring and mechanic classes who have always wanted saloons and esntclallv nlaces where they could get a cool glass of
