WHAT OF
EXPOSUItB of Sweden 'h neutrality violation, by for
warding German liie.saKes has raised the question as
to where Sweden stands as between the United States
and the Central Mnipires. There is no, question hut, that
the government is pro-German in leanings, that the queen
is a German and that, while there is division among the
people, the leanings are toward Germany.
The hulk of the Swedish newspapers, which inav lie
said to reflect public, opinion, are, favorable, to Germany
and antagonistic to the United, States, Of .134 articles in
Swedish newspapers dealing
nine can be construed as favorable to America, and' they
were in labor papers.
The majority of the Swedish newspapers are pro-Ger
man, bitter towards Great
United States and skeptical ot
with an army. .Many articles are printed tending to prove
the effectiveness of the submarine war, defending German
methods and predicting eventual victory tor Germany.
The Stockholm Dagblad declares that Swedish-Amer
icans m the United States
j towers, but few of the papers
jJagoiaciet oeienus tue z,eppenn rams upon jonuon as
"onlv necessary means of self
tries to prove that Alsace-Lorraine has always been Ger
man.
The arrival of a Swedisli commission to induce a lift
ing of the embargo by the United States upon food prod
ucts to Sweden makes a consideration of Swedish attitude
important, for Sweden has
tity of munitions and foodstuffs to Germany, replacing the
hitter with American exports. Ihe embargo was the sig
nal for bitter attaeks upon the . United . States,, notwith
standing that the Social Deniokraten points out that the
scarcity ot iood in Sweden is
many, and says that the necessity ot slaughtering live
stock, owing to the lack of fodder, is now put forth as pre
text tor trie resumption ot export, ot meat on a large scale.
Evidently no mistake was made in placing the embargo
against Sweden, and none will
trictly.

The road was a bintory of those
who had gone before me. Here an
auto had made its dimple trail;- here
a, snake had made Its sinuous way
across; here, dainty as a deer's track,
an Angora goat had left Its toll-tale
hoof mark; here a group of small
prlntB of bare feet showed where
some children had come from school.
My eye lingered wlth satisfaction
on a pretty girl of 18 years or so un
der "the trees in a .farm yard, and
tlien wandered to a sign on tho gate:
'Pure honey, 10 cents a pound.'"
As I lingered along enjoying the
beauty of the country a locked farm
gate tempted my curiosity. y solved
Its mystery and an old wagon road
beckoned me up the hillside. On both
sides of the old road was -. a heavy
prowth of pine and mauzanlta, tho
tinted rod limbs of tho latter making,
In places, a veritable Jungle. Here
and' there? a stately oak rose above
the lower growth or a green-leaved,
red-limbed madrono'. Finally I came
to the wreck of an old barn In a clear

In a ruinous state, I went thru Its
broken doorway. The fireplace had
fallen -in. On the. wall were news
papers In lieu of wall paper. Most
of theni were dated 1873, Just outr
side, coming almost up to the door
way, was a long-neglected vineyard
and a hundred feet or so to the south
ward was the largeBt fig tree I have
ever seen. It was literally loaded
with ripe, bluish purple figs. The
tree was probably 40 feet high and
had a spretid of between 75' and 100
feet. On all sides the limbs came
down to the ground, but I scrambled
thru and found that my fig rtee
was In reality a group of six fig trees,
whose limbs had become so inter
woven, and Intertwined that It seemed
to be but one tree. So heavy was the
foliage that It was almost dusk under
the fig tree arbor.
Finally, as twilight fell, I took my
way southward to the quaint tho
somnolent and peaceful village of
Jacksonville. In a cool back room,
where I drank a pint of freshly made
cider, Emll Britk told me about the
old place I had visited.
"My fathor, Peter Britt, who came
to Jacksonville In 1S52, planted those
fig trees there In about 1S72 or '73,"
ho said. "The house has not been oc
cupied for 25 or 30 years. Mr. Car
son of Grants Pass, the fruit Inspec
tor, Bays those are the largest fig
trees in the state."
Mr. Lay, who sat with us at the
table, said: "Last year I picked a
five-gallon oil can full ot figs from
one limb. The ground all around the
trees was anklo-deep with ripe figs
and there were at least 2000 pounds
of figs still on the six trees. Wild
persimmons have now grown up Into
a regular jungle on one side of the
fig grove. You will get a wonderful
view of the whole valley from up
there. Some day people will dis
cover the beauty and charm of our
country and onco more wo will awak

The last time that I wrote Tor the
Mall Tribune I was In Seattle, Wash.,
and was giving nn account of what I
saw along the route from Spokane
to that city, and when I closed my
letter had just given an account of
passing the city of Harrington that
Is situated In the edge of the great
wheat belt of the state of Washing
ton. After leaving there we pass
thru a country that was diversified
with hills and vales and in many in
stances did not have the appearance
of a productive country, hut we oc
casionally would see teams of four,
six and in one instance of eight
horses or mules with two wagons
loaded with grain, and nearby would
see large warehouses along the rail
road track for the storing of wheat,
for that is the principal production
of the soil. And soon we came to
another town, Odessa, where" every
thing looked as tho tho people were
alive and prosperous, for by this
tlmo were were getting into the very
heart of the wheat belt, and while
somo would be hauling their grain
to the warehouse, others would be
threshing, and some would still have

the grain 'in the shock, but every
thing presented , the appearance of
thrift and prosperity. About 20
miles from Odessa we came to the
thriving city of Wilson Creek and
there wo discovered a change not
only in the soil hut also in the char
acter of the products, for by this
time we were entering a farming
community where they seemed to
ruise something besides wheat, oats
and bailey, for I began to see quite
a number of orchards and the bouses
seemed to be closer together, for
thru tho exclusivo wheat belt the
houses are so far apart that they
can have no rural free delivery routes
and it looked as tho they wore almost
destitute of schools or churches, and
in many instances we would travel
for miles and not see a house or a
tree, and to the casual observer it
looks more like a dreary waste than
a rich farming country, but now
orchards and' occasionally a corn
field made things look more home
like. The next place of note was the
WenatcSee valley, where our eyes
feasted on the fine orchards and
more of diversified farming. Here
we passed through one of the beauty
spots of Washington, and as we
looked out of the car window we
were reminded of our own beautiful
Rogue River valley. Leaving here
we began to ascend a stream that 1
supposed to .be the Wenatchce river
and as we went on up the river tho
country began to change in appear
ance, for we soon began to encounter
timber and the soil was of a lower
grade until we soon began to come
to saw mills and realize that we were
approaching the Cascade range, but
on and on we went, up and up, and
I began to anticipate again witness
ing the beautiful scenery crossing
the Cascades, but in this I was to a
certain extent disappointed, for when
wo began to reach the higher points
where the scenery was so beautiful
when I crossed over the road some
seven or eight years ago, I found
that the railroad company had built
snowsheds along the most dangerous
points and so shut off the beautiful
landscape to a great extent, but still
tho scenery Is sufficient to justify
the trip if one has any business In
1 that section of the country. After
we had wound our way to the sum
m it of the mountain and began to de
scend we were then about 230 miles
from our starting point, Spokane,
and bad traveled over one of the
finest parts of Washington, truly a
wonderful country interspersed with
towns and cities every few miles,
altho tho train that I came on only
stopped about 10 or 12 times on the
whole route. I arrived in Seattle at
8 p. m. and was met by my niece,
Mrs. C. F. Hainmargren, with whom
I spent a few days very pleasantly,
and the next time I write will have
somothiifg to say as. to what I saw
and heard while there.
