OPEN DOOR' STILL OPEN.
Chinese-Japanese Treaties Found to
be Not Vlolatlve.
Washington , Nov. 22. The recent
treaties entered Into by China and
Japan as to the operation of coal \
mines along the South Manchurlan ;
railway and the Antung-Mukden rail
way do not create monopolies , and I
hence are not violations of the "open i
door" or the "equal opportunities"
principles , to the observance of which i
nil of the leading powers are pledged.
This Is the conclusion reached by the s
state department after a long and careful -
ful investigation of the questions In
volved. The department issued the
following official statement :
"In view of the widespread publici
ty of the statement that the recent
Chinese-Japanese agreement relating
to Manchuria created for Chinese and
Japanese subjects a monopoly to carry
on mining operations along the South
Manchurian railway and Antung-Muk :
den railway , which would exclude
Americans from an extensive Held of
Industrial enterprise , inquiry has been
made of the two signatory powers and
official assurance has been received
from each to the effect that no such
exclusive claim to mining rights was
Intended by the agreement ; and that ' ,
If minerals are found by Americans
and others within the designated ter
ritories , no objection will be made
to their working mines under conces j.
sions granted by China the whole
. scope and purpose of the agreement
being that any operation by Chinese
and Japanese subjects of the mines
within the territory mentioned should
bo joint as between themselves. "
Secretary Knox has reached a con
clusion commended in diplomatic cir
cles as fair and statesmanlike , and
as of great importance In view of the
"explosive" possibilities of the situa
tion.
tion.Whether
Whether tnero are otnor provisions
of the treaties which the state de
partment is considering , possibly ini 1-
mical to American Interests , the de
partment Is non-committal. Dut from
the fact that the provision as to
the operation of the mines was re
garded as possibly containing the best
grounds for complaint , It seems ren-
sonablo to believe that othei features >
of the treaties will not for the present
at be brought In question.
Says It' * Fake Townslte Plot.
That the Northwestern railroad has
not ( Hod any notice with the secretary
of state of South Dakota of a pro
posed plan to extend Its line from
Dallas , and that the report sent out
from I'lorro recently published In ihU
paper as well as those of Omaha and
Sioux City , was n fake schema whoso
motive wns the boosting of some town- ,
silo enterprise , Is the declaration of
W. H. I'lne , n Honestool real estate
limn , who passed through Norfolk yes-
tnrday and who had n letter from
the assistant secretary of state of
South Dakota to provo his assertion.
Mr. Pine wrote to the state secre
tary to ask about the published report
and to ask about the "law" compell
ing railroads In Dakota to fllo an
nouncement In ndvnnco of building.
Ho Is Informed from the secretary of
state's otllco that there Is no such
law In South Dakota. Following Is
the letter ho received :
' State of South Dakota , Department
of State , Pierre , S. D. , Nov. 17. W.
H. Pine , Iloncsteol , 3. D. , Dear Sir ;
Replying to yours of the 13 lust. , will
say there Is no such law In this state
as referred to In your letter , namely
requiring railroads to file papers six
months In ndvnnco of building of any
railroad contemplated to bo built.
Very respectfully ,
R A. Platts ,
Assistant Secretary.

ing three for this place.
John Englcbert bought the livery
stock formerly owned by A. M.
Werdner.
The Storz Brewing company of
Omaha has commenced work on a new
store house hero In Lindsay.
Firemen Make It a Success.
Firemen today estimate that over
$275 was cleared at their fair , which
was hold at the skating rink last night.
This nmount is clear above expenses ,
and today the firemen are jubilant over
the success they made of their celebra
tion. Many people are richer by a
ton of coal , n sack of flour , and even
a town lot , which were auctioned off
under the supervision of Julius Haase
and William Hauptli. The lot Is lo
cated at the Junction and N. A. Rain-
bolt , the dondr of this property , val
ues It as worth at least $50. Ben Ska-
lowsky was the lucky bidder for this
property , which went at $21.
The raffle wheel , which was operat
ed by Jess Beemer , wns nn attraction
all by Itself , and many articles were
quickly disposed of and the lucky num.-
ber always drew a handsome prize.
Asa K. Leonard drew a fine Edison
phonograph , A. W. Flnkhouse a fine
chair. Others have orders for hair
cuts , shaves , merchandise , photo-
graphs , Ice coupons and the Thanks-
giving dinner of many others was also
furnished by the spinning wheel. H.
Boomer's lunch stand did a rushing
business. The cane rack also was an
nttrnctlon , but the fish pond , operated
by John Naper and A. E./Amerlne , was
a feature In these attractions , mnny
casting for a prize and none going
1 awny disappointed , the fish always be
lng solidly cnught by the'hooks ,
(
The central attraction of the free
shows was Hans In his lightning oil
sketches , which were sold at remark-
ably low prices. The Norfolk quartet
did n turn and were much applauded.
The moving pictures furnished by E.
F. Huso and the Crystal theater were
much appreciated.
The attendance was at mnny times
during the night far beyond the capac-
ity of the rink , and everyone wont
nway well satisfied with the entertain-
ment furnished them by the Norfolk
fire lighters , who arranged the sue-
' cessful fair In less than a week's time.
As Viewed at Fairfax.
Fnlrfnx , S. D. , Nov. 24. Speclnl to
The News : Something unusual and
somewhat annoying to at least some
, of the'Gregory public officials was the
'
nrrest on last Thursday of the mayor
d'of Bonesteel , A. W. Llntccum , on a
j charge o' larceny , the charges growing
iout of the circumstance of the chief
ref police taking up n stray cow on the
streets of Bonesteel , which for lack
of "pound" facilities wns sent by Mr.
Llntecum to his ranch a few miles
out of the city , sometlmo during the
summer or fall. The case vas brought
3before County Judge Davis on n
1change of venue and was dismissed.
It Is quite probable that "spite-work"
1 at the bottom of the matter , as It
seems that Bonesteel Is suffering from
othat Incurable malady "factionalism"
each division of which Is endeavoring
to "outclass" the other.
This Is the second "cow case" In
which the popular chief oxecutlvo of
the city has been Interested In lately ,
as In the other case ho seemed to hold
the losing hand , that case being do
elded against him.
