will also commemorate the begin

Importance to the northwest. The
work then to be Inaugurated is a
part of the coining utilization of
the Columbia river.
Collis P. Huntington, one of the
greatest transportation authorities
of his time, said: "The people
living on the borders of Puget
sound may be afforded time to so
increase and improve their facili

from railroad to ship that the dan

have become everywhere recog
nized, and it might then take years
for the gravity Jine (down the Co
lumbia) to assert Itself as It is
bound to sooner or later since no
other power can compete continu
ously with gravity."
Mr. Huntington also said. "If As
toria be made the etnbarkadero of
Portland, only a small percentage
of the Columbia river watershed
will be lifted over the Cascade
mountains to go to Puget sound,
and even that small part will take
that course only for a short time,
for gravity lines on the land and
great ships on the sea are going to
determine the line of trade and the
direction of tonnage hereafter."
But to do its great part in hand

watershed, the great waterway

state of efficiency through Improve

work which has its begnning in
the celebration at Astoria next
week Is a part of the great pro
gram of developing the river.
The celebration Itself will be a
landmark of history In the making.
It is a part of a great comprehen
sive system of work tljat will not
end until the splendid waterway,

reaches and its vast potentialities
are brought into use for power,

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Like a figure out of the past, a Ya
qui Indian appears from the desert
upon the Mexican frontier to offer to
the United States, in the event of the
invasion of Mexico, the moral and
military support of a band of 1400 Ya
quis already pledged, and others un
counted, who would rally to the ban
ners of the northern neighbors If they
should have the opportunity.
The Yaquis are peculiarly interest
ing Indians. They are. 'n the main,
uncivilized after four centuries of con
tact with the white race. Whether or
not this is l-"'-ause they are unalter
ably opposed vo civilization or unal
terably opposed to the Mexican man
ifestation of civilization Is a mooted
point.- Representative Yaquis are upon
record as saying that it Is a settled de
termination of their people to die
rather than become Mexicans. The
point of view is one with which the
late Oeronimo, war chief of the
Apaches, could sympathize. Geronimo's
feud with the Mexicans extended over
a long period. When as an old man
tottering to "the last tepee" he was in.

aid of words, the tragedy that is
embodied in a news story that
comes from Los Angeles.
A rancher returning to his lone
ly home found his wife holding
and crooning to her two babes
which lay unconscious in her arms,
and to whom the mother had ad
ministered poison.'
The children were immediately
carried to where they could receive
medical aid and It is probable
their lives have been saved. The
husband said he believed his wife
was temporarily deranged as she
had acted queerly for some time.
The wife's story was as follows:
After I gave the babies the poison
I mixed some for myself and sat
down with the children In my arms
to await the end. After they had

home and took them away to the

when my husband brought his sls

Not long ago a man brought his
wife from an eastern city and set

Mount Rainier. She was a refined
and well educated woman. Her
loneliness became oppressive In the

not concern himself greatly with the
petty affairs of men, was on his side

It Is hardly probable that ln th

Yaquis as an armed force to be turned
loose against the people of a neighbor

duty and as guides in sections with
which they are familiar. Their friend

They came away ln an unpleasant
frame' of mind, and reported that Sec

follows: "You men went to Mexico
because ' you weren't satisfied with
business conditions at home; you went
there to get rich quick; and now you
want the whole country to raise an
army of 600.000 men and send it to
Mexico at this country's expense, and
you won't pay a cent to support lt

Their point of view was, as explained

by the lives of American soldiers. This
principle, put Into practice by the gov
ernments of Europe, has been uniform
ly the Instrument of might, not of
right. China la the classic example of
a nation given over to abominable
plundering on the flimsy pretext of
having violated the sanctity of foreign
capital. Mexico herself has suffered
untold misery from the same licensed
pilfering.
To place the armed power of a gov
ernment behind a private enterprise,
and so to insure Its safety from the
dangers encountered by other private
enterprises in the earns country, is in
effect to create an unfair monopoly.
The practice cannot be .defended on the
ground that capital is being Introduced
into the country from without, for It is
obvious that the profits on such In
vestments are paid by the people of
the country. Ons dollar of foreign cap

principles.
In the first place. Secretary Daniels
ordered the fleet away from Tampieo
because It was his belief, and Presi
dent Wilson's belief, : that the landing
at Vera Cruz would be enough ef a
pill for Mexican pride to swallow on one
day. A landing at both ports would
have made the chances of war twice
as great and would have imperiled the
lives of all Americans in Mexico.
