Washington, Sept. 25. The Gov
ernment is preparing to ta'io the
most important action looking to
the security of the open door lu
China. The action will take the
form of a protest based on tho An-tung-Mukden
Railroad controversy
between Japan and China, which re
cently excited the diplomatic world.
Japan has obtained control of ex
tensive mining concessions in South
Manchuria, not for a limited, but for
an indetermedlate period. This Is
to be regarded as a distinct menace
to the open door, according to the
exposition of that policy as given
by the late Secretary Hay.
The State Department, It Is un
derstood, has awaited full details of
the agreement between Japan and
China relative to the Antung-Muk-den
Railroad and with allied affairs
of negotiation before taking any
stand in the matter. During the last
few weeks, our representative in the
Far Eaat have obtained piecemeal
information as to this agreement,
and exposition of the whole thing
Is expected within a few days. In
formation at band bas warranted
preliminary arrangements for pro
test. NICELY TRIMMED.
th Way K.tn. Got Square With the
Railroad Officials.
Jnmea R. Keene was nb-cly trimmed
once. He told the story himself:
"I used to live out In the country
and mde to and from New York every
day on a little Jerkwater road. One
day, when I forgot my ticket, the con
ductor, whom I knew well enough to
call by bis first name, refused to ac
cept my money when I tried to pay
my fare. He dropped me off the train
Into six Inches of the thickest, stick
iest mud In the fvorld. By the time
I got to a ronil where I could hall a
wagon I was mud to my knees.
"I was ronrlng. raving, frantic mad.
When I got to New York my first call
wns on the officials of the road. I
wanted that conductor fired. I had to
Interview every cussed little jn'tty ef
fielnl of the road liefore I got to the
president. Every one of them Insulted
me In the most Judicial way. When
I got to the president I wns a howi
tnz. ripping nintil.tc. He listened to
mo for a moment and told his secre
tary to 'throw that ruffian downstairs.'
"And the secretary would have done
It. too, If 1 hadn't leat him to the
door. As soon as I could g-et to my
broker I told him to buy the control
ling Interest lu that rmd. It took me
a week to get It. and I had to climb
high for some of the stock. Then
I threw out every official that had
scorned me. I was Just beginning to
get back Into my nsunl placid state
of mind when one day I saw a famil
iar face at the track. It was the con
ductor who had thrown me off. He
waved to me blandly. 'Just bought a
little place out this way.' he said.
'You know, that stock you Ix-ught le
lotijted to ns. The X.. M and Z. was a
close eorporatliin, and we got you mad
en purpose. We stung yon good." "

LISTING IRRIGATED LANDS.

county are to be listed and the
data will be added to that con
cerning the subject which is
now in the hands of State En
gineer John Lewis of Salem.
R. D. Cooper, a deputy in
Lewis' office, has been at the
head of a party of three men,
who have been working in this
section. They were in Hermis
ton the first of the week looking
over that section with a view of
taking up the work there.
This work is being done solely

His Second Thought.
Goose Egg cove Is on the New Jer
sey side of Delaware bay. Tbe farm
ers from miles around take tbelr fam
ilies to the core In tbe summer for a
picnic.
Last summer among tbe crowd was
one Camden county man who bad
drank too much Salem county apple
jack. He made himself obnoxious by
going to tbe men as they were with
tbelr women folk and shaking bis fist
under tbelr noses, saying: "I can lick
yon. Come ont and fight," No one
would fignt, because be was evidently
drank.
Convinced that be bad scared them
all, he walked up and down tbe beach,
saying, "I can lick any one on the
beach." He repeated this to every
one he met.
Finally an Inoffensive little family
man atandlng with a group Jumped
Into blm and beat him Into submission.
When he was finally allowed to get
up the Camden man struggled to bis
feet and. looking around at the crowd
which bad gathered, said defiantly:
"Me and this little feller can lick
any man on tbe beach."
