PEOTEST AGAINST ENGLAND
INCREASING HER NAVY
LONDON, Nov. 2S. A protest against
tho inclusion of the United States in
tho policy of Great Uritain for the en
largement of her navy to exceed that of
any two powers is addressed to the pub
lic today by the Nation.
The Nation declares that America and
Germany aro the next two powers in
eomarativc strength. America, how
ever, has practically to build two navies,
owing to her double const line.
Referring to Great Britain, the article
says:
' ' A people of 40,1100,000 is called upon
to provide a force stronger than that
levied on 140.000,000. Great Britain
can do it. but the libcrnl party will not
try to do it. They will never consent
to build against America: it is hateful
to the liberals even to think of build
ing against Germany."
LOS ANGELES FANS ARE
COMING OUT OF A TRANCE
LOS AXOELES, Cnl., Nov. 2S. Los
Angeles fans today are just coining out
of their trance. Anybody around here
who picked Welsh and Ketchcll to win
from Attel and Pnpke would have been
deemed worthy of a place in the
" hooby hatch." There is a great finan-
cial stringency among the sports, with
the feather and middleweight idols
gone by the hoard. Welsh was given
some chance to beat Attell, but very
few expected to nee Ketehell do any
thing to Pnpke.

TEDDY WRITES
Says orient Is Awaken
ing and Will Some Day
Be a Great Nation
NEW YORK, Nov. 28. President
Roosevelt's first contribution to the
Outlook since it was announced that he
had been inn do an editor of the asso
ciated staff, was printed today In the
December number, the topic of the ar
ticle being "The Awakening of China.'"
Ho cautions American people to avert
"peril," commercial or military, by be
having right towards the Chinese peo
ple. He says in part:
"China is awakening. There is in
creasing contact with foreigners, and'
a growing adoption of modern methods
of communication ami transportation,
while sine improvement ib boing made
in labor-saving devices, with consequent
industrial evolution. Tn over a hundred
cities there is now more or less success
ful effort to introduce a western police
system and what means for the preser
vation of order is Jmrdly necessary to
point out. Much admirable evangelistic.
educational nnd medical missionary
work is being done by the missionaries.
".Tht'.'rvWAkcniiig jtt China is one of
I he great events 'tit our age, nnd the rem
cdy for tho "yollow poril," whatever
that may be, is not tho repression of
life, but the cultivation and direction
of life. Here at homo wo believe that
the popular discontest is not repres
sion, but justice nnd education.
"Familiarly, tho best way to avert
possible peril, commercial or military,
from the Chinese people is by behaving
righteously toward them and by striv
ing to inspire a fighte6us life among
them." ' - ;

NEED NO HELP
Work on Big Ditch Has
j Passed Highest Point As
to Employment
VANCONA, Canal Zone, Nov. 8.
'.No help wuuted," la the sign hangiggl
irvi-r loo i -annum camii zono today. The
reuNiiu for this, ns explained by tbe
government uutboritiea. is tho work on
the big diich has pe.sucd its hi ghost
point, so far us tho employment of .piun
is concerned. Tho present tendency" is
not to employ more nlen. but to reduce
the
force, aud this applies alike to eior-
ical, artisan and labor classes.
From this timo forwvrd tho work in
the cuiml zone will be confined largely
to net mil canal building, including ex
cavatiug and dam a id lock construction.
Building and municipal work, erecting
houses, installing water nnd sower sya
leniH and road making have reached tho
stage where most of the expenditure
from this Mine forth will be for main
tenance. On this account, tho forces formerly
epg.-iged in muuicipnl engineering and
building hove been rfHticed, nnd in con
Hequence, the services of a number of
clerks, engineers, carpenters, plumbers
mid other artisans have lie en disposed
of. Wherever possible tho man whose
services urn not needed in ono division
of the work are employed on another,
and this system of transferring members
of the present forco also reduces the
number of positions open to new men.

Quit k bit of exitsment was eaused
in uuia mil aunng too past weeK upon
the announ-ement that an eastern iom-
pany was in Sams Valley securing 'op

fur .the purpose, of drilling ofr oil. The
options are being secured by Colonel
Mundy of St. Louis and It. P. Little of
Med'ford has boon assisting him In the
work, aaya the News. It has long been
known that the land In the valley bears
good traces of oil, but nothing haa ever
been donn tnwnrdn il Avitlnnlni If Tlie '
announcement has been given out that
two drilling machines are now on the
Way from the east and that just as
soon as coough land can be soourod to
warrant them going ahead with the
work, that extensive operations will be,
commenced. The parties connected with
the work will give nothing for publica-,
tion at pretest.
Tbe discovery of oil In Sams Valley
will mean a great deal (o Gold Hill and
all,, of southern Oregon, as It ho al
ways proven In the past for other places.
Towns win spring up in a night, and
proporty valuations will soar skyward
at moment's notice. It Is to be hoped
that these gentlemen will be snccoosful ,
In securing al) of tho land that will h ,
