Important Change in Costs
Made in the Elmore Plant
DEFINITELY
SETTLED
Fort
Simpson ta Be the
Terminus.
IMPROVEMENTS  TO   HARBOR
Minister or  Public Works   Speaks
Definitely on the Decision
Made
The Elmore mill on the Le Roj
No. 2 is putting in an additional
motor which will have thee Sect of
considerably decreasing the oost of
milling while at the same time it
will increase the daily output.
The Trent mills whioh were
placed in the mill were discovered
at the beginning of operations to
take more power than was at first
ezpeoted. In consequence the two
oould not be run together at full
capacity,making the output of the
mill slightly under tbe estimated
amount of 50 tons daily. By the
additional of the new motor the
mill be able to handle more than
the estimated amount, say GO tons
daily, But as the cost of putting
through the present amount or the
anticipated amount is almost identical^ can readily be seen that the
cost per ton for milling will be
considerably reduoed at a percentage whioh may be estimated as being between 15 and 20 per oent.
Every improvement which Ib
made in this plant will tend towards its adoption by other miues
and consequently swell the output
ol the camp and the number of
miners employed.

"Yes, that's in view."

Likelihood of Present Selec

London, Jan. 5.—There willbe an
early session of the House whioh
will oonsider the proposals
whioh will be made by Chamberlain's tariff commissioners after
they have drafted a provisional
tariff for the use of the Empire. It
is felt that no definite proposals
will be allowed to stand without
their having been first submitted
to be various legislatures of the
colonies. It is considered that
Chamber lain is likely to be armed
with extraordinary powers by the
Balfour ministry and sent to the
colonies on a world tour taking the
preference tariff soheme drafted by
a commission and reported upon by
parliamentary oommittee with him
for modification or alteration or
suggestion from the outlying but
important portions of the Empire.

Fleet and Army on

Tokio, Jan. 5—It iB ourrently
reported and the rumor would
seem to bear the marks of authenticity, that the reoent transferal of
troops to the ports on the western
shores of Japan, together with the
mobilization of the fleets at Sbim-
onoseki, Moji and Nagasaki, has
been done with a view of a sudden raid upon t'ie coal ports of the
Russians who have been storing
some small quantities at Newohang
and other places. This may take
place at any day, even belore hostilities have been finally deolared.
Russia's delay in answering the
Japanese note is put down to a
wish to allow of her fleet, under
orders from the Mediterranean,
reaching Chinese waters.
On the other hand the important
ooaling points on the south and
west of Japan, Kuohinotzu, Nagasaki, and Moji have been strongly
fortified, Nagasaki in espeoial being regarded as impossible of approach. THE EVENING! WORLD, ROSSLAND' B. C, JAN.  5,   1904

JAPAN'S AIM.
There is a treaty existing between the Empire and Japan. If
the reason why it was made could
be disclosed, it is probable that the
reason of the present threatening
attitude of Japan and of Russia in
the Far East could be arrived at.
But to get at that reason without
authoritative utterance means a
little diving into history. And
there are four nations to be considered, China and Japan iu Asia and
Russia and Great Britain in Europe
aud Asia. Beginning with the
laBt. After all the expansion of
the Empire haB greatly grown out
of her system of free imports. Ab
nation after nation has shut its
portals against British trade, io
has the Old Country been foroed to
seek new markets. There waB a
time, in the early sixties, when
Great Britain might have annexed
at all events, South China. But
Chinese Gordon expended his energies in the wrong direotion, bol
Btering up the Manchu dynasty,
instead of helping the Taepings,
the Ming or Chinese party, who
at the outset were wishful of
English help and of Christian
tenets. Great Britain oontented itself with dictating a treaty whic h
admitted her goods at an import
duty which averages five per cent
on most goods, with the exoeption
of opium, the duty on whioh is
over 50, reckoning iu the Likin or
ootroi. The consequence was that
Franoe encroaohed to the south,
shutting up Annam against British
trade.atid Russia has done similarly
with Manchuria with Germany
struggling for a permanent footing
ou the borders of the Yellow sea. In
other words the polioy has been a
failure.
Russia is not seeking bo much
for trade as for a port and a population. Siberia h vast, but sparsely peopled. There is scarcely an
ice free port in the Russian domain, large as it iB, with the exception of those on the Euxine,
which in turn are blocked by Constantinople. Hence the fomentation of troubles in the Balkans
with the ultimate aim of freeing
the Euxine ports, the pushing
south through Persia, with the side
demonstration againBt India, in
order to reach the ocean through
the Persiwi Gulf. Again blocked
by Great Britain by the annexation of the territory of the people
bordering on the narrowest portion
of that Gulf, Russia tries an outlet to the east and thinks Bhe finds
it in Korea. If Russia could dominate China in the future as the
Manchus have done for the past
three centuries, Bhe would get her
population, and a vast industrial
population it would be too.
Japan in the past was dominated
by China. But it was long ago,
and the veracious Jap historians
strenuously deny that suzerainty
whioh China haB olaimed at one
time or another over every contiguous country. Korea for ages has
beeu a bone of contention betweeu
China and Japan. Japan has organized itself. It is a reconstructed and an ambitious country. But
it haB a large reBpect for the possibilities of China, none for its military capabilities as at preBeut di
rected. Japan sees that Great
Britain is not wishful of annexing
China. If Chamberlain's polioy
goes through there will not be the
same incentive to expansion.
France is too insignificant in the
Orient, as likewise Germany, to
consider. But Russia has ambitious claims, clearly enough read
by the little brown man. If there
is to be a power dominating China-
that power is to be Japan, not Russia. With Japan at the helm of
the state of China, there would
be suoh a powerful Eastern
alliance, that must give pause to
ihe rest of the world. Will China
consent?
China is  ruled by a foreign dynasty even more alien than would
be the Japs, the Manchus.   There
is a very   general  dissatisfaction.
When South China heard of the
fight in North  China against the
Japs, South China viceroys absolutely refused to help'with men or
money.   Was not North China the
home of the hated Manchu?   Does
not a Cantonese hate a Pekingese
worse  than   he   does  the foreign
devil? Years of   unsuccessful and
bloody   insurrection    has   taught
China   the   uselessness   of   revolt
against the Manchu.   But the dis
respect in whioh China iB held does
not help the Celestial  to acquiesce
in the domination  of his foreign
rulers.     Could,   therefore,   Japan
succeed in  beating   Russia, it is
quite   on   the   cards   that   China
would Buhmit to be under its tutelage, the   more   especially if such
counsels,  counsels that amounted
to directions, brought back China
to its old position   of being the
power of the East.
Now if Japan can succeed iu her
end, Great Britain can have no
objeotion. Russia will be shorn
of all prestige, and the Empire will
have a grateful and enlightened
friend who will gladly give a preference in one of the largest markets
of the world. Without a friend to
create a diversion, without a base
the Germans must leave Shantung
and the French becomes tenants at
will of Annam and Siam, Asia
will be divided between Japan and
the Empire as to population, and
Russia will be confined, without an
outlet, to the sandy wastes of Central Asia and the frozen tundra of
Siberia. In other words the battle
of Armageddon takes no place iu
Europe, but may be impending in
the Far East. For if Russia fights
and loses, the Empire will be lefl
without a rival on the face of th.e
globe.

CHAPTER VII (Continued)
I saw that abominable thing,
Rebellion, for once linked hand in
hand with her sweet rival, Patriotism, I Baw the red flames of vengeance in the quarrel I had made
my own sweeping through the land
and lapping up with its hnndred
tongues every evidence ot the
spoilers! Yes! and even I had
fancied that, an there were no true
Sazon Princes for our English
throne, there was still Editha, my
wife; and if there were no swords
left to fence a throne so filled, yet
there was the sword of Phra tha
Phoenician I Vain fantasy 1 The
faces of the Fates were averted.
Those hateful inquisitors had
not gone many hours journey
northward, when, as ill luok would
have it, they fell in with a Norman
Captain, Godfiey de Boville, and
two hundred men at arms, marching to garrison a western oity. To
these they told their tale, and,
ever ready for pillage and bloodshed; the band halted, and then
turned into the woodlands where
we had our lair.
The sun was low that afternoon
when the affrighted herdsman

news that he knew not how many

was not a saving upon whioh I
wish to dwell long, for 'twas no
more glorious, than the retreat of a
wolf from his biding plaoe when
the shepherds fire the brake behind
him.
f 11 along the edge of the hill
their watch fires presently twinkled out, and as Editha and Sven
the Strong came to me in gloomy
conference upon the turret we
could see the soldiers pass now
and again before the blaze, wa
oould hear their laughter and tha
snatches of their drinking songs,
the hoarse cry of the wardens, and
theohamping and whinny of tha
chargers picketed under the starlight in lines upon our free Sazon
turf. And for Sven and all his good
oomrade hinds we knew tomorrow
would bring tbe riveting of new
and heavier collars than any they
had worn as yet. For me and my
contumacy, though I feared it not,
there could be nought but tha
swift absolution of a Norman
sword; while for her—for her, that
gentle, stately lady to whose pala
sweetness my rough, unworthy pan
can do no sort of justice—then
was nameless degradation and half
a wandering bully's tent.

F. Carter Cotton and John   Houston
are Divided in thoir Opinion*
F. Carter-Cotton and John Houston, Conservatives both, are divided in their opinions aa to the Kootenay press. The coast man declares that the press is unanimous
in favor of the present premier,
aud the Kootenay man declares
that there is only one paper, tha
Nelson Economist, whioh is evidently favoring him. Mr. Houston evidently draws a distinction
between Richard MoBride and tha
Conservative paper. There aro
three dailies published in the upper country and 28 weeklies, These

their prickers oame out of the wood
—the gallant Norman array (whose
glitter has sinoe grown dearer to
me than the shine of a mistress's
eyes) rode from under our oak
trees, the banners and bannerets
fluttered upon the evening wind—
their trumpets brayed until our
very rafters echoed to that warlike
sound—the level twilight rays
flashed back from those serried
ranks and the steel panoply of the
warriors in as goodly a martial show
as ever, to that day, I had seen.
What need I tell you of the negotiations which followed while
this silver cloud, charged with ruin
and cruelly, hung on the dut-lcy
velvet eide of the twilight hill
above ue? What need be said of
how I swore between my teeth. at
the chance whioh had brought this
swarm hither than in the week I
had hoped for, or how my heart
burned with smothered anger snd
pride when we bad to tamely answer their haughty summons to
unconditional surrender?
Yet by one saving olause tbey
did not attack us at onoe. Only to
me was it clear how utterly impossible was it with tbe few rug-

even for one single onset tbat great
