FROM ALFALFA
Tok io—” Unhappily, forces for evil
for unknown but sinister parpeaaa con
stantly are endeavoring by false re­
ports or other method* to create condi­
tions of III will or distrust between
two neighboring peoples.
"Their relation« are toe firmly es­
tablished and their interests are too
distinct to admit of the poaeibibly of
any question arising between Japan
and the United State*, which will not
yield readily to the ordinary proceaa of
diplomacy. The increased and more
intimate exchange of view* between
the taro governments dispels all appre­
hension* on that score."
This utterance was made by Foreign
Minister Count Komura in toasting J.
M. Dickinson, the American secretary
of war, at a banquet given by Count
Komura in honor of the American cab­
inet officer.
Mr. Dickinson and hi»
party arrived at Yokohama on board
the steamer Siberia. and after an in­
formal reception at the American con­
sulate, came on to Tokio.
Th<- dinner was a brilliant affair.

Loe Angeles Alfalfa, hitherto bold­

scheme, is destined to become a com­
prehensive medicative and remedial
element that will |>ut all others in the
shade, according to Dr. Marian N.
Clark, who announces the discovery of
remarkable curative properties in the
plant and bloasoma.
Her idea, already carried out on a
small scale and suggested by the men­
thol industry, is to electrolyte the al­
falfa and condense its healing ele­
ments to vest pocket site a haystack
of medicine in a tablet.
Dr. Clark pridcfully recounts many
instances of curing with the condensed
alfalfa juice many nervous ailments,
from delirium tremens to “that tired

One of these was the aggravated
case of a Reno B|nrt, who bet on Jeff­
ries and drowned his sorrows in so

teacher in school district No. 156. Be­
fore assistance could reach her she and
her little niece, 1 year old, daughter of
Hon. J. S. Wyman, of Plains, Mont.,
were burned to death.
Dozens of de­
termined men vainly sought to reach
the cabin, l>ut were driven back.
W. W. C.ark, residing on the south
fork of Mill Creek, arrived at Colville
and reported to Prosecuting Attorney
H. G. Kirkpatrick the harrowing de­
tail* of the schoolteacher's death. She
was in her lonely homestead cabin, her
niece spending the day with her. The
grewsomc tragedy was the result of a
forest fire set by W. A. Trowbridge, a
near neighbor, clearing a slashing.

i two other men, and he will be taken to
jail. The settlers are very angry, and
Sheriff Graham is prepared for emerg­

H. Graham.
Acconling to Mr. Clark. Trowbridge
had been warned personally not to set
fire, that it was contrary to law.
