Palouse Country During Certain . y&s& dj-2s7 JCji'Jds JiStSrs- ln. BY STANLEY A. BEADLE. ' OLFAX, Wash.. Sept, 11. (Spe- ciai.) vvnen me coiiax; people claim that Whitman county, in the famous Palouse country, produces more wheat than any other country In Washington, it isn't Yankee brag it is an outstanding fact. Further more, if they boast that it Is the lead ing county in the entire United States in wheat production, they are not far from the truth. It is one of the lead ing counties in the latter respect. The word Palouse is derived from the French word "peloose," meaning grassy sward. At some seasons a distant view of the Palouse country resembles a vast field of 'green. At this time it appears as a boundless gloden area of ripened grain with rolling billows, whose nodding crests overspread enormous areas through out the combined Palouse terrain of 2300 square miles. The Palouse coun try proper Includes southern Spokane county. Whitman county's 1,181,820 acres, Latah county Idaho, with its contribution of 900 square miles, and the western portion of the old Coeur d'Alene Indian reservation. A spa- clous, realm of untold potential and actual wealth. The wheat movement has begun. The wheat yield this year in the northwest Is declared to be the largest in the whole United States. Of the stream of wheat pouring Into the Port of Portland, which is greater than ever before, the Palouse. coun try contributes an enormous volume. Recently one week's total receipts in Portland were 1,314,300 bushels, which breate all records for the market. In the same period last year receipts were only 418.600 bushels. And it's a bumper crop In the Palouse country. A reeular. honest-to-goodness, sure- enough "la la Palouser!" So in their exuberance of spirits over nature's bounty, Colfax held a harvest festival on September 1 to 3, and it was all of what they named it, "A La. La Palouser!" Red Balloons for Kiddles. Bed balloons for the kiddles. "Hot dogs" and wienies for the hungry.

Immigration Problem In United States Can Be Agreeably Solved, Oriental Orator Declares. TOKIO. Ex-speaker Saburo Shi mada of the house of representatives who, because of his oratorical powers, is often called by Japanese the Wen dell Phillips of Japan, is contributing a series of articles to the Nichlntchi Shimbu on relations with the United States in which he deplores and de cries talk of war. The distinguished parliamentarian holds that if the situation between the two countries is studied from a broad statesmanlike attitude such talk will become mean ingless. He says: "Possibly there are no Japanese who seriously think that Japan - is able to attack America across the Pacific as there will be no Americans who dream of an Ameri can invasion of Japan.

The special carnival committee R F. Bigelow, J. D. Lewis and Sinclair Knox did themselves proud. There was a specially constructed dance floor 70x100 feet and special music by the augmented syncopator orchestra of Colfax. Every evening were box ing and wrestling matches, athletic sports and stunts. In a special arena seating 1500 sport fans, Usually there'B a reason for every thing. A cause for every effect. The reasons for the Harvest Festival in Colfax are deeply and substantially founded. Colfax 'Is as busy a small metropo lis as can be found in Washington. It is the hub around which revolves the trade of the richest agricultural county In the state, la the heart of the Palouse country, it is a trading point for a territory equal In size to the state of Rhode Island. Its wealth Is a byword. With an urban popula tion of 3037, as given by the 1920 census, and an actual valuation of all assessed property of 84,043.656, Colfax shows a per capita wealth of about $1200. It is a buzzing hive of indus try. A community whose mission is to finance and distribute wheat for all parts of the world. It .is prac tically a farming town, with very lim ited manufactures. Railroad transportation In Whitman county dates from 1883-1885, when the. O.-W. R. & N. company s)hd the North ern Pacific' railway built through the county and made a material change In the growth and development of the country. Early in 1907 the Spokane & Inland Empire railroad began operat ing its electric trains from Spokane to Rosalia and points in northern Whit man county; and subsequently built to Colfax, Palouse-and Moscow. By Us traffic connection, with the Great Northern railway, the S. &-I. E. R. R. gives the Palouse the benefit of a third transcontinental line, and the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound railway, with its completed Pacific coaBt extension, gives the section the advantage of a fourth through line east and west. V Land Under Cultivation, The entire land area of the county is practically under cultivation. All but 2377 acres of unreserved and un appropriated government lands with 32.208 acres of state lands have passed into private ownership. Nearly! a million acres has been piacea unuer the plow. No other county" in the state has so large a, percentage of its actual area under cultivation. Only about 2000 acres, lying princi pally along the Snake and Palouse rivers, are irrigated. The remainder is adequately watered by the natural precipitation, which ranges from about 16 inches In the western area to about 22 inches near the eastern boundary. A startling fact about the Palouse country is that It has never been boomed. When the early settlar tween Japan and the United States while others are of the opinion that the scramble for rights and interests 4vlll lead the two countries to war. These questions are not of such a nature as to be solved by an appeal to arms. American misunderstand ings about Japan may be dispelled by the efforts of diplomats who can ex plain tendencies of the world, and Japan's position, plainly and fear lessly. Immigration is no more a question with America than with Great Britain which is Japan's ally. Such a problem can be 60lved with the progress of civilization - and mutual understanding. It is not the whole American nation ' that objects to Asiatic immigration on racial grounds. America is a free country, where any sort of opinion can be ex pressed with perfect freedom. It is not surprising, therefore, that from the Japanese standpoint some of the arguments in America about Japan may seem too bold and reckless. It Is a mistake to think, however, that these views represent public opinion in America. "The questions pending between Japan and the United States at present are likely to be solved with the passage Of time. It Is true that there are some Americans who are not satisfied with Japan's doings in China and Corea. while there are other Americans who perfectly under stand Japan's position 'Japan i not without faults. Dur- ONE OF LARGEST t - j came, 40 years ago, discovering that the. great expanse of rolling hills thickly covered with bunchgrass would produce wheat in almost fabu lous yields, they quietly settled down to raising, grain and what other farm products their own needs required. They have ben adding to their hold ings ever Bince. As a matter of fact, the Palouse farms will raise anything from wheat, oats and barley to pota toes, berries and fruits without the aid of irrigation, and the Palouse rancher knows it. But it was so easy to simply plow and seed and then wait for harvest time, a bare three or four months' work in the year, that it was left for the more aggressive eastern farmer to step in and demonstrate that diversified agriculture not only quadruples the rancher's Income put preserves the soil and makes consecu tive crops possible in place of the former method of summer fallowing. 15,000,000 Bushels) Wheat Grown. Close to 15,000,000 bushels of wheat. oats and barley are produced annually in Whitman county alone, about two thirds of the whole being wheat. A comparatively new industry of . im portance is the raising of eeed peas. which is found very profitable in the northeastern section of the county. Whitman also ranks first in the total value of all livestock, according to the 1919- valuaTions, Y-aklma county falling only a few thousand dollars behind. Horses are by far the most important and. it may be said that there is a horse or a mule for nearly every man, woman and child in the county, there being 30,000 horses and 2700 mules. About 17,000 hogs, or more than . one-eighth of all in the state, were counted, and the same enumeration shows 20.000 sheep. 13, 000 stock cattle and 7000 milch cows. Total value of all livestock, including poultry, amounted in 1919 to nearly 86.000,000. Dairying is steadily in creasing and creameries are main tained at Colfax, Palouse, Tekoa and Pullman. Fruit raisina- is no small factor. There are about 186,000 apple trees, 9000 pear trees, 83,000 peach trees, 14,000 cherry, 7000 plum and prune and 6u00 apricot trees. Among mineral deposits clay, gran ite and gold have been found. Water power exists in the Palouse river. Ar tesian wells are frequent. Surface wells of pure water average 40 feet on the eastern half and 80 feet In the western part of the county. The ag gregate actual value of all taxable wealth,' in which respect this county ranks fourth in the state, amounts to about $120,000,0Q0, br about $3000 per capita. Hall Service ' Good. - The county as a whole is well served with railroads. A total of 612 miles of steam road and 83 miles of electric t- n H t a m uintainoH a utea m ma .1 include 310 miles by the Oregon- ' company, 108 miles by the Northern Pacific 74 miles by the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul, 15 miles by the Spokane, Portland & Seattle and six miles by the Washington, Idaho & Montana. Electric cars are provided by the Spokane & Inland Empire Elec tric Railway, which serves all points in the eastern section as far south as Colfax. A good road passes in front of practically every farm gate. More than 2500 miles of roads are In use, including the two routes of the Inland Empire state highway. About 170 miles in the county are surfaced with crushed rock or oil macadam. Addi tional transportation facilities are provided by regular steamers on the lng the progress of the war Japan concluded with China what is known as a military agreement, by which it was undertaken that Japanese of ficers should be engaged asinstruc tors in the Chinese army,' and the common use of arms by the Japanese and Chinese was stipulated in the agreement. This not unnaturally gave rise to the suspicion . among the occidentals that Japan is attempting the Japonization of China in the same way as Germany contrived the Ger manization of Turkey. The 21 de mands presented by Japan to China are also potent cause of misunder standing of Japan among Europeans and Americans. In the Siberian in tervention, America proposed that similar numbers of troops should be despatched to Siberia, but whereas America sent only 7000 men, Japan despatched as many as 70.000. This aroused the suspicions of America as to the real Intentions of Japan. Japan's failure In Siberia Is clear from what has followed since then. "But really educated, thoughtful Americans do not believe In such a thing as war between Japan and America." ' I 602 In, St. HIens Schools. ST. HELENS, Or., Sept. 11. (Spe cial.) That the school population of St. Helens has not decreased during tho rnr vear was indicated bv the report ot W. I Rutherford, superin ; UNITED ' STATES Billows Whose Nodding Crests Over Snake river between Rlparia and Lew 1st on. Whitman county Is a leader in so cial and educational progress as well as per capita wealth. Although the farms are large and the population of the rural districts correspondingly thin, yet the proximity to leading educational centers, together with the transportation facilities accorded place the best advantages within easy reach of all. At Pullman Is located the State College of Agriculture, one of the leading educational institutions in, the northwest. Besides work in all usual collegiate lines, special atten tion is given to scientific agriculture. In connection with it a college farm of 673 acres for experimental purposes Is supported Jointly by the state and federal governments. The county ranks first in the number of school districts (175) and. the number of rural routes (40) and third in the number of high school districts (27). There are also six private schools, churches of all denominations in the leading towns, 39 postoffices and 3381 miles of telephone wire. Nearly every farm supports at least one auto mobile and the entire county has one for about every seven persons, City Is Wealthy. Now, If the reader has never been in Colfax, it is beginning to dawn upon him'why that city is so wealthy. The Oilier Biaieu- 11 me duw inai LDiim Is. As we proceed it Is easy to learn why it is, because it is where it is. As to how it is, if one senses the com munity spirit of the Harvest Festi val it is: jolly well, thank you, The four banks of the city average over $1000 cash deposits per capita. There are two weekly newspapers, the Colfax Gazette and the Colfax Com moner. Numerous warehouses, a grain elevator and a 500-barrel flour mill are among the business enterprises. There is also a plant for making household utensils, a creamery and six garages. ' Ten splendid churches and 13 fra ternal organizations represent the spiritual and social foundations of the city s life. A four-year high school provides excellent educational advan tages, supported by three ward schools. The St, Ignatius hospital presided over by the Sisters of Char ity, is thoroughly modern and well equipped and is attended by an effi' cient corps of physicians and sur geons. Residents in and about Colfax do not find it essential to seek a larger city to purchase the very latest and best in dry goods, farm implements and other necessities. As -compared with larger places rents are low and retail prices in proportion. There are three large department stores: The Great Eastern, Lippitt Bros, and B. V. Nichols company. Its leading imple ment houses are the Colfax Imple ment company and the Davis Imple ment company. The city enjoys more than six miles of paved streets and 11 miles of con crete sidewalks, with a modern sew. erage system. Electric light and power is available everywhere within the 748 acres comprising the imor- porated area. Water Is supplied from an artesian well system. There is also a paid fire department. Of the two parks, one Is a free auto tourists' camping ground. And last, but by no means least, the residence section is particularly attractive and consistent with the unusual wealth of the city. And there you are if you don't know it now it ain't. Considering all the circumstances, they have many reasons to celebrate. Wouldn't you? tendent at schools. The registration at thee lose of the week showed 137 students in high school and 465 in the grades, making a total of 602.

Gumm school in the downtown district and the Ale Bride school in West St. Helena . Power' Dam Being Rebuilt. " SHERIDAN, Or., Sept. 11. (Spe cial.)

LOSS IS DECLARED SMALL Property Said to Hare Been Rm - dearvous for Drug Addicts " rnlil Recently. The dock beside the old plant of the Portland Gas & Coke company at the corner of Front .and Everett streets slid Into the Willamette river early yesterday morning as the result of time-weakened foundations, the wash of the water and the chartging winds, which have been swaying the upper parts of the structure for several days. Drug addicts formerly had a rendezvous under the dock, but police said they had not used it recently. In recent years the building has been used for various purposes by the Oregon Brass works, whose plant is adjoining. Some ten days ago it was noticed that the pilings were on the verge of collapse. Most of the ma chinery stored on the dock had been removed before it gave way. A large boiler and an engine for which the company had been offered $700 a week ago went into the water with the building. As far as was discovered this was the only Important loss. Electric Furnaces Saved. Several new electric furnaces weigh lng five tons each were on the rea part of the dock, and were saved. It was not believed that anyone was beneath the dock at the time it gave way. About a year ago Inspecto Coleman, John Price and Federa Agent Woods arrested a number drug addicts there, among them Isaiah Jackson, negro, a fugitive from justice, escaped from Astoria. Th place was said to have been a hang out for addiots, Coleman saying that many as 20 of them would con gregate there at night to take thei doses and sleep on the dirt shelve beneath the pilings. At the time the cleanup a large amount of dru paraphernalia was taken, ronsistln of opium-heating ladles, pipes, hypo dermic outfits and a considerable amount of drugs. Resort Thought Abandoned. However, no one has been seen in the vicinity recently, and both the de tective department and the harbo squad were of the opinion that vag rants had not gathered there recently The building was erected in 1S59, the ashes from the gas generatin furnaces being dumped into the river, making a fill on which part of th collapsed dock was built. Variou changes were made later, but th structure has been standing for 4 ears or more. It stood about 60 feet high on th water front and the part destroyed was about 80 feet long. Next to it i nother dock about 40 feet long owne by the Oregon Brass works. This i badly weakened and in an unstable condition as a result of the collapse today and is liable to crumble an me. Captain Jacob Speler, harbor master, has Issued warnings for navl gatlon to run clear of the wreck In order that the wash may not distur or shake the building. Spot Picked As Anchorage. The spot was picked as an anchor age for the battleship Oregon if sh comes here for the naval militia. Th river in front was dredged severs months ago. A high tension cable carrying 10,000 volts to the brass works ran across he collaDsed dock, but the current had been turned off for a'tout ten ays. The Portland Gas & Coke com pany owned the dock.

Alice Adams, which Is the name of the young woman in the new Tark ington novel whose title is the same, o doubt will be discussed as ad versely as was Carol in "Main Street," particularly by those who read novels to admire a hero or hero lne and hate a villain or vampire. Very many In the Dulcey audiences take that delightful portrayal of type of woman too seriously. In the manner Carol and Alice are regarded, missing entirely the social question raised. There is an English novel, Queen Lusla," 'which is said to be a fine satirical portrayal of a woman of a higher class than anyone of the hree named, .who easily could fool even the more discerning Into believ ng she Is a refined and cultured woman, one or these women is ner natural self.

He is not his weekday selfand he be lieves that a man should go to church ieves n churchlike manner, dignified if not solemn, that he may' have "stand ing" in his community, so obsessed by that idea that he does not realize he has not felt the Christian spirit all day long. And he is a good citizen, too. Alice longed for a place in what Tarkington calls Country club circles. She was rebuffed in that familiar way of the would-be -social elect, with would-be grand dames in com mand, delightfully mistaking super cilious demeanor for the easy dignity befitting higher class people. Alice's mother was nagging the father be cause he didn't make enough money to enable Alice to fit herself out for Country club social life. And Alice, with a nimble wit. schemed and failed and in Ihe end showed that there was something of character in her by going out to hunt a Job. Tarkington lets you have an idea of the over-fed grand (tames, one with an over-fed lunkhead of a son, such as you find everywhere. Idling sons of rich fathers who might have been manly in other environment. Alice. Carol and Dulcey all repre sent the striving for effect, to make an impression instead of making good.
