COLFAX, WASH..
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.
Kewpie dolls, gaudy, bright Indian
robes and blankets, souvenirs and
prizes innumerable all dispensed by
business and professional men of the
commercial club in the roles of
barkers.
Hark to the clamor of the blatant,
uproarious Midway Plaisance!
"This way! Over here! Here's
where yofl get your double-jointed

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

ONE OF LARGEST

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." '

Whitman county Is a leader in so

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

why it is, because it is where it is.
As to how it is, if one senses the com

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

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

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

DOCK 8Q FEET LONG
L
Old Gas Company Structure
Falls From Age. .
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

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

river in front was dredged severs
months ago.
A high tension cable carrying 10,000
volts to the brass works ran across

had been turned off for a'tout ten

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

befitting higher class people. Alice's
mother was nagging the father be

to enable Alice to fit herself out for
Country club social life. And Alice,

MILWAUKEE, Wis. The relation
ship between federal health activities
and the state local health agencies is
S3 essential for success that the pub
lic health service has practically
formed a partnership with state and
locl health agencies for the develop

does not lose sight of the American
principle ot local self-government.
Assistant Surgeon-General C. C. Pierce
of Washington, D. C, told the national
conference of social work' here.
"In making this partnership ef
fective," he said, "the public health
service advocates the extension
federal responsibility in the preven
tion of national and Interstate spread
of sickness. This extension of federal
aid to states Is Justified by the fact
that orevention is peculiar in tha
