When the powers began their inva-
sion of the Chinese empire, conflicts
and treaty-making ensued with bewil-
dering rapidity in the conservative,
slow-moving land. There was the
opium war with Great Britain (begun
in 1910 and lasting two years., at the
expiration of which the British had

were opened to France and the United
States. From 1850 to 1864 the TAPPING

States took bit of a part. Commo-
dore Tatnall went to the relief of the
British fleet at Peiho, and America be-
came a little mixed up in the Chinese
ouestion. The various wars resulted
in English, French, Russian and Amer
ican treaties with China-"treaties
whose signature was virtually made at
the lannon's mouth. An English artist
once made caricature of this treaty
making business, in which he repre-
scented a Chinaman affixing his sigma
ture to a document, while over him
stood persons representing each OF the
above-named powers; the four were
holding pistols at the head OF the I'M

were the muzzle of a cannon and a
whole armful of bayonets. The picture
was entitled "a Voluntary Act-China

The treaty between Great Britain
and China gave permission to subjects
of her majesty to trade in China and
reside there, and privileges in British
dominions were given subjects of the

Ancient Egypt
Knew the Virtues Of the
ffKing of Foods. -

Since the earliest annals of Old
Egypt, wheat has been recognized
as the king of foods.
1t has held its sway down to the
present day, Notwithstanding the
fact that in many forms of making
wheat into food products, some of
the best elements are lost.
Bread has been aptly termed,
"the staff of 1ife," as it alone of
known, foods has all the elements
that are needed to sustain life.
Egg-O-See contains all the best
elements of wheat in a far more
heaHhful and delicious form than
any bread, crackers or ordinary
wheat foods. In addition to the
best whole wheat delicately faxed
and crushed, it is made still more
digestible by the addition of refined
diastase, the highest grade of malt.
There are no premiums or gifts
in the Egg-O-See package; moth
ing but full measure of the highest
grade of cereal food in the world.

The Inner Light.

A famous lady who once reigned In
Paris society was so plain when she
was girl that her mother one day said
after gazing at her for long time with
distressed expression, my poor
child, fear it will be very hard for
you to win love In this world, indeed
even to make friends!'
1t was from that hour that the sue
cess Of this woman, known to the
world as Nine. de Circourt, dated. For
little time she took the matter sorely
to heart. Then humbly, but sweetly
and untiringly, she began to be kind
kind to the pauper children Of her ma
tive village, to the servants Of her
household, even the birds that hoped
about the garden walks. Nothing SO
distressed her as not to be able to rem
der a service.
AS the years wore on her good will
toward every one made her the idol Of
the great city which was eventually
her home. Although her complexion
was sallow, her gray eyes small and
sunken, yet she held in devotion to her
some Of the most noted men of her
time. Her lifelong unselfshness and
interest in others made her, it is said,
irresistible, and young and old forgot
the plainness Of her features in the
loneliness Of her life

The Causes Of Crime.

A curious study might be made Of
the causes Of epidemics of crime. In
medieval times and even now in su-
perstitious countries all evils were and
are attributed to the influence Of ad-
verse stars. Probably this is an ap-
proach to a great scientific truth, or its
advance shadow, to say the least That
meteorological conditions seriously af
feet the health and spirits is fact OF
such everyday experience thdt it is no
longer regarded as phenomenal. The
causes Of meteorological changes must
be the causes lying back of the pervad-
Ing disposition to commit peculiar
kinds of crime. A suicidal or q muir
derous atmosphere must therefore have
its origin in some Of the secret springs
OF nature. There are causes for all
things In life and nature, and no study
Of such causes Is In vain.

CROP LOSSES IN WHITMAN COUN-
TY WILL NOT BE HEAVY
AS EXPECTED.
State Grain Inspector Arrasmith Gives
Out Interview After Making Per-
sonal Inspection.

"While not f1attering, l do not think
the condition of the crops in the east
ern part of the state is quite as bad
as reported" said ]. w. Arrasmith,
state grain inspector in Tacoma, yes
terday, upon mis- return from three
weeks trip through Eastern Wash
ington and the Panhandle district of
Idaho.
1T is almost impossible to tell how
much grain has been ruined by the
early rains, and, of course, it is all
more or less guesswork, but I would
estimate the loss for this state at
about 100000 bushels, and for Whit
man county alone all of $780, 900 bushels.
Probably 10000 bushels were caught
out in the rain in Whitman county,
but a certain percentage of this will
be saved, as all the farmers did not
losce their entire crops.
Generally, when rain starts in SO
early in the fall it does not continue
for a great length of time, but the
farmers in that section of the state
are now complaining about the damp
ness as it is interfering with the fall
plawing and seeding.
One Reason for Heavy Less.
Zone reasonLfor the heavy loss of
grain is the fact that there were not
enough threshing machines in the
state to handle the grain in time Many
of the farmers prefer to thresn from
the field instead of stacking the grain,
and as they are not very careful in
shocking their bundles to cap off the
shocks, when the rain caught them I'M
awares their crops were almost entire
ly ruined, where if they mad capped
the shocks like the farmers do in the
Dakotas and Minnesota, only por-
ton of the grain in the field would
have been lost. The rains did not
come early enough to prevent cutting
and it is only the farmers who were
waiting to have their crops thresned
that are the heavy losers. Thus, most
of the loss is suffered by individual
farmers, many of whom lost their en-
tire crop while their next door neigh
Dor who was fortunate enough to have
mis- grain threshed did not lose a thing.
Grain that is in the stock can be
saved, a portion of it, at least but the
farmers who left their grain in the
shock, trsuting to luck for fair weather
for threshing, have lost the entire
seasons crop.
1T is not as it was in 1898, when
the rains began so early as to pre-
vent cutting the grain, making the
loss general. The loss this year may
be attributed in a certain measure to
a lack Of threshers and the careless
ness Of the farmers who placed their
faith in the elements, in the hope of
being able to thresh from the shock
instead of going to the expense of
stacking the grain, Or even shocking
it in a proper manner"

WALLA WALLA ONE OF THE OBJ
JEcTIvE POINTS OF THE
NORTH COAST.
Contractors Gathering in Portland t.
Make Bids for Work on North
Bank Line.

At public meeting held at Sum
the North Coast Railroad company
announced Walla Walla as one of the
objective points as an eastern termin-
us. The meeting was held for the
purpose of talking to the people re-
garding securing rights of way. The
rights of way were secured to the
company and it is expected that sur
veyors will now be put in the field. In
speaking of the plans Engineer Otto
Weile said:
There are three routes proposed.
The objective point at present is WAL
la Walla or some point near there.
Starting at North Yakima, one route
goes throug the Mckee country down
Coal creek; one through Mckee, Zil-
lah and north of Snipe's mountain by
way of Sunnyside. The third one fol-
lows the same line, but passes through
the town of Granger, south of Snipes
mountain"
North Bank Road.
Railroad contractors are gathering
n Portland to be on hand when Seims
& Shields, who nave in hand the con-
tract for the construction of the north
bank road of the Northern Pacific,
award the sub-contracts for the
stretches of line which are to be built
at once. Bids for the different par
cells of work are to be opened at Van
couver soon, and awards will follow
in a few days.
1t is the plan to start operations at
as many points as is practicable so
that when spring opens mucn of the
grading shall have been completed,
together with the work at Cape Horn,
and so that no delay may be met with
in rushing a large share of the track
laying.
new feature in the north bank
right of way is the action of the
Washington State Board Of Land
Commissioners in fixing the price
of property along the river at Sc
lineal chain.
The Portland & Seattle Railway
company has filed notice in Skamania
county of it's intention to condemn
the state land near Cape Horn, but
it is understood that these proceed
ings will be dropped if the appraise-
ment of the tideland is satisfactory
to the railroad interests.
Large purchases of the upper land
have been made by the Northern Pa
cific representatives from the state,
but the location of the land is such
that the proposed grade extends into
the river to take in 41.67 chains in
length, which makes the figure for
the shore land, according to the ap-
praisement, $25.02. If the figure es-
tablished by the board is not acceptable
it will be fixed by jury.
