An i defatigable student of history and political economics, orderly In his habits and controlled by an In tense, seemingly ceaseless mental industry, the fruits of his works embraced not only the building u of one of the great metropol itan Journals of the country but tended beyond the fields of his newspaper in the publication ot a aumber of forceful books and mon ographs.

Th Far Eastern republic of Cblta has foooived u-dora from the Russian bolshevik government to avoid any possible conflict with the Japa nese and If possible to undertake the negotiation of a trade treaty with Japan, according to official advices today. For this purpose, ticregnlkov, former secretary ot the Kramln trade mission In London, was re ported to hare arrived In Vladl voatok from Moscow to assist in the formulation of the terms. Yonrtn, representative of the Far Eastern republic for some time In Pekln and who has en Aeevored to negotiate a trade agreement with the Chinese gov eminent, according to the same advices, haa boon Informed that two conditions preliminary to any understanding between the two government wore: Promise of ab allnence from any bolshevik prop Cauda In China aad tht adequate protection of Chines In Siberia.

King Christian is to visit Green land In June, the first time a Danish king has ever visited that colony, and the commission hopes to reach an agreement in time to enable him to announce the new plan of government when he Is greeted by the Eskimos. A well-known Greenland ex plorer, who is not a member of the commission, told the corre spondent that one section of the commission was holding out for free trade between the Greenland Eskimos and the nationals of all countries. "This section," he add ed, "rightly says that the present system of the Danish state grant ing a monopoly to a single com pany, even If this company is managed by Danish state offi cials, and for all practical purpos es is a government department, is a direct violation of all demo cratic principles. "Without any competition, no company, and particularly a com pany managed by state officials, could possibly be expected to ob tain for products of the natives Tierneyln Lead; Hits .520 Clip Stephenson Tops the American League Hitters With Aver age of .583 Chicago, April 23.

On the other hand, the other section of the Royal commission asserts that the Eskimo Is a child and must be treated like a child that Intoxicating liquor and other of the 'blessings' of civilization must be kept away from him, or he will go to rack and ruin. "Every Greenland settlement has been visited by Illegal traders who have shamelessly taken advantage of the confiding nature of the Es klmos. For a bottle of vile spirits or a row of glass beads these 'tra ders' have robbed the natives of bearskins and other products of great value. So a grandmotherly trade restriction may not be right in principle, but certainly In prac tlce." Many Bodies To Boost For County Nurse That the retention of the Mar lon county nurse will be a live Is sue before the May bearing of the county court, Is indicated by the number of public endorsements of tbe plan made the past week by leading county organizations. Mrs. Sadie Orr-Dunbar, execu tive secretary of me Oregon Tu berculosis association, and Miss Cecil Schreyer, of the state bureau of nursing, have Rpoken at several meetings during the week and are arranging further community gatherings In order to place the proposition of retaining the nurse, under county support, fully before the voters prior to the court hear- ng the first week in May. The nursing service has already been carried by the Oregon Tuberculo sis association for six months with funds derived from the Christmas seal sale. Loral and county medical men boosted fop the Marlon nurse ut the association's meeting last Tuesday, with a public endorse- runer up with .560. O'Neill, the Cleevland backstop is third with .524.

April 23. The underlying the unusually warm weather of early spring this year remain a mystery to weather bu; reau officials. But reports show they say, that March was one ol the wannest in the history of the country, breaking all known rec ords for high temperatures at some weather bureau stations in th east. One contributing reason for the high March record, they stated was the succession of bright clear days, during a month when blus tery winds, clouds and storms us ually prevail. But what caused this succession of bright clear days, the climatological division is unable to determine. One cause of usual cold March weather is Bald to be the sharp difference frequently prevailing in barometric pressure. This feature evidently was missing this season, although complete records had not as yet been compiled. Cold weath er often resulted, it was said, from a high barometric pressure in the colder regions of the north which created an air "hill" down which cold air poured, like water running aownnui, upon the United States. During the cold winter of 1917 18, it was pointed out, air pres sures were extremely high In Alas ka, building up a "hill" from which slid icy winds from the snow fields, bringing one of Amer ica's coldest winters. Vegetation this March advanced far beyond its usual growth and tbwgSout the fruit regions of the middle t and southeast, a short free nipvd many buds, causing what was thought at first to be disastrous damage of far-reaching pioporuons. Later inspection of irees, nowever, it was reported showed that the frost had not damaged fruit to such an appre ciable extent. Although January and Rerbu ary also were warm throughout much of the middle west and east they were record breakers in no sense of the word, the weather bu reau reporting many warmer win ters. The far west winter, sn indicat ed by San Francisco reports was not unusual, December and Febru ary being slightly warmer, with January colder than normal. Sinn Feiners To Seek Places In Parliament Dublin, April 23. It is now generally believed that members of the new parliament for the South of Ireland with the Inten tion of preventing its constitution by refusal of Sinn Feiners elected to attend its organization and meetings. It was the inclination ot the Sinn Fein to ignore the home rule act so far as it applied to the South of Ireland and to let the elections ao by default. This course is now said to have been abandoned because of fears that if it were carried out, the opposition parties might be enabled to organ ize the proposed new governing body. The elections are to be held in May and the government plans to attempt to inaugurate the new parliament on June 19. It had been expected that the government would put a home rule act into op eration first in Northern Ireland and wait a more convenient op portunity before starting the new system in the south, but the Brit ish cabinet has decided to go ahead with the whole plan. The chief' secretary has been as sured that the nationalist party will name a sufficient number of candidates to insure a contest against the Sinn Feiners. If the Sinn Feiners should be elected, as they fully expect to be, and should refuse to take the oath and attend the sessions of the new parliament, the act provides otherwise would u, ih. - viwuejauve of ..
