AN ABSURD PROPOSAL
IT has been explained several times by this newspaper that
Yakima is located 100 miles west of the. town of Wallula.
It is a fact that may be verified by consulting a map. Yet
one Portland newspaper, the Oregonian, continues to agitate
the Wallula highway on the ground that, among other things, it
v ill help attract trade from Yakima to Portland. It does not
fiay "Portland," of course. It says "Oregon," but it means Port
land, for no other section of the state has any concern in this
proposed duplicate road. Portland has none either. Some peo
ple down there merely think they have and they are not willing
to look at a geography long enough to ascertain their mistake,
. The theory in connection with annexing Yakima trade for
Portland seems to be that Yakima people will not take a direct
road across Washington to Portland which they might naturally
be expected to take. They wish to make a real jaunt of it when
they head for the Rose City, therefore they desire to warm up by
a hundred mile spin towards the east before turning their cars
towards Portland. It is a literal fact that for Yakima people to
reach Portland via the Wallula cutoff they would first have to
go 100 miles in the opposite direction and of course after reach
ing the cutoff they would have to go a corresponding number of
miles in the reverse direction to offset the detour. In other
words Yakima people would have to go approximately 200 miles
out of their way in order to travel to Portland over the Wallula
road.
Could there be anything more ridiculous than this. Yet this
seems to be the basis of Portland support of the Wallula road.
It is on this hairbrained scheme the state is asked to expend a
very large sum at a time when legitimate road needs are un
cared for and people are clamoring about high taxes.
It is time for the application of some hard common sense in
connection with state highway affairs.
THE POISONOUS MILKWEED
O TOCK poisoning by weeds on the western ranges is often
so insidious that it is difficult to trace the cause of the trou
ble to its correct source. This is true of the various milk
weeds, some of which have poisonous properties, while other
Euspected varieties have been found to bo non-poisonous.
In a recent publication the United Stales department of agri
culture describes one of the most injurious of these weed.--, th'.
Mexican whorled milkweed, which is believed to have caused
much' of the sheep trouble attributed to some other varieties.
The plant ranges from Mexico northward through California,
western Nevada, and southern Washington to eastern Idaho. It
is also known as the narrow leaf milkweed. Feeding tests indi
cate that the poisonous qualities are most pronouiued in the
leaves. Only sheep were used in the feeding experiments, but
other investigators assort from experience that cattle also are
subject to poison.
TURN ON THE LIGHT
THERE is an apparent desire in some quarters to hush up
discussion over county affairs, particularly in connection
with H lations between the county court am! the sheriff's
office. This is a Dhinder. There is a peculiar situation there
rrd the public is u'titled to information. Oanr.ty officials
should "coe. vk'M!" by laying the facts frankly hofov" the pub
lic. If there is something wrong the people are entitled to
know what it is. If all is well a frank presentation of the facts
will hurt no one. This is no time to cover up anything. Meanwhile
in spite of very pronounced protests it seems the county court
has gone ahead with its very unusual automobile purchase.

NEW YOlllv, Nov. 8. Notwith
standing the liuye quantities of drugs
online, morphine, heroin and opi
umseized within the last six months
Xew York City still remains the clear
ing house of the rest of the country,
according to lr. t'urleton Simon,
speciul deputy police commissioner.
Dr. Simon declared that while
smuggling of drugs through border
towns and other ports has diminished,
it continues Into the port of New
York from European countries, chief
ly Germany.
A "dock" of heroin one "shot"
selW on the street from $1.50 to $11,
lepending upon Uie locality. The
leputy commissioner said drug ped
llcrs uverage $5 per day from each
addict. "We have deprived the smug
glers of the Income from 2,701) drug
victims, which moans, $ 1 2,51)0 daily,"
said Dr. Simon, "liut there are still
20,110(1 drug addicts at huge In this
city. They represent to the dealers an
Income of $lill,(Htl daily. These do
not include the "legitimate drug us
ers," addicts who are being treated
for the drug habit by their physicinns.
The narcotic squad docs not intcYt'ere
With doctors or their patients."
Klch anil rum- Mi I.e.
Itcccntly a young man of .promi
nent family was among those arrested
In a raid upon a "dope joint." lie had
a quantity of heroin upon hint and
protested that he obtained it from his
physician. This was found to be the
truth, and lie was turned over to the
family doctor.
"liut our object is not to get tho
drug victims. Wo want to break up
tho smuggling ring that Is mulcting
these poor unroll iinates for all they
will pay. The federal authorities arc
working with us, and our agents uie
in Knropc watching activities of drug
sellers there. We have a complete
record of every drug user arrested
here with llcrtillon photographs and
criminal record. Similar records
lor over Killl cities tlirougnoui tue
niintry arc in our possession, and we
receive the same data regularly Irom
police of Canada and France."
Tho Ingenuity of smugglers and
drug sellers Is illustrated by exhibits
in (he deputy commissioner's office
A book with tho tille "The Annual
Report of the Hoard of Health" bad ;
large hole in the center, two Inciie:
scnnire, and In this hole were a dozen
decks of heroin. Other books were
similarly cut. An embossed Christmas
I card, beautifully garnished with How
ers and a woman's slipper, proved to
be pure canioul'lage, as a quantity ot
heroin was round Inside the minia
ture slipper. A pair of shoes, also on
exhibition, were used by a workhouse
inmate who sold drugs to other in
mates from the shoe linings.
'MFXIA Texas, Nov. 8. John Henry I
Kirby. of Houston, who represented
Texas at l'resident Harding's unem
ployment conference, isn't out of a Job1
himself. In fact, he has so many that i
one wonders how he swings them all.
Just now the big Job on Kirby's 1
hands is finding a place to put the li
quid wealth of what oil men suy is the
biggest gusher of Texan history. And
thereby hangs a tale. j
For some months oil men have been (
prospecting around this little town, j
(By the way, call it .Muh-hee-a.) Am- i
ong them were representatives of the!
Kirby Petroleum Company. A lot of j
business men shook their heads.
' Isn't it a shame that John Kirby, aft
er an honorable career as millionaire
lumberman, head of the National
Lumbermen's Association and the
Southern Tariff Association, should
dabblo in the oil game and take the
dollars of widows and orphans?"
Hut those who knew Kirby and the
Midas touch that seemed to affect
"long chance" he took, or that others
thought ho took, kept silent.
Then, on September 21, the Buss
No. 1 of the Kirby Company came in.
shot skyhigh over the derrick and
showered the country for acres around
with high grade oil. Of course, then
came the chorus of "I told you so's!"
Just how much oil the Kirby well
will produce has not yet been deter
mined. It is rated at from 20.000 to
30,000 barrels a day by cold, calculat
ing experts. Those who saw it mar
over the derrick that first day said it
was a riO.OOO barrel gusher. Just now
it is capped, while Kirby rushes the
job of getting tankage.
