An Imposing Spectacle.

The debarkation in Seattle Of the
imperial Chinese high commission was
as imposing as it was brilliant. and
the cheers that broke from the throng
of all nations Oh the docks were the
spontaneous Acknowledgement of a
spectacle which it has not been given
often TO the Occident to zee.

PAPER FROM KANSAS STRAW.

Another movement is underway to
build a paper mill IN the Kansas wheat
belt to utilize some Of the vast amount
of straw that is now going to waste
out there. The editor of the Lincoln
Republican states that he recently met
in Topeka a gentleman from New York
who was looking over the Kansas
wheat belt with a view to Incorporating
such a plant.
1t isa well known fact that the avail
able supply of soft wood suited to the
manufacture of paper is gradually be-
ing depleted, and that manufacturers
have for years been shifting about for
an article to take the place of wood
for this purpose. Straw has been sue
cessfully used in these experiments,
and now manufacturers are beginning
to look toward the wheat fields of
Kansas, for material for the manufac-
ture of paper as well as for the bread
supply Of the world.
Straw has, of course, been extensive
" utilized in manufacturing straw
board and a coarse brown paper for
years. Fifteen years ago some Chicago
capitalists built q. factory at SaIina
that made straw board and straw pa
per. 1t was equipped with expensive
machinery ana operated Tor a Time. but
the owners finally announced that they
could not compete with the paper trust,
and the machinery was allowed to go
to pieces. It was commonly supposed
to have been bought in by the trust
and locked up. but freight rates might
have had something to do with the
failure.
The Improvements of recent years
ought to make it possible to manufac-
ture considerably better grade of pa
per out Of straw than was done Is
years ago. # it can be done there is
unlimited raw material for it in cen
trail and western Kansas. The wheat
farmers now burn thousands OF tons
of straw every year just to get it out
of the way.
If straw paper can be manufactured
in Kansas profitably, this state ought
to become the greatest paper producing
state In the Union. It certainly has the
straw.

A THEORY.

There has been altogether too much
activity in real estate recently. This
doesn't apply to the kind Of activity
the real estate agent promotes, but to
that internal activity that starts vol
canoes to belching and the surface of
the earth to wrinkling like an old cows
back in fly time.
Very little attention has been paid
to some Of the stories of activity that
have been started, mainly because
most people would not believe them.
A few weeks ago, for instance. fol-
lowing a heavy storm in Arizona, It
was reported that a peak in the wilds
north of Flagstaff-in the San Fran
cisco mountains. by the way-had be-
gun to smoke and steam, and other
wise act up. It was stated that an
exploring party would make an in
vestigation of the rumor, but as moth
ing further was heard of it the sup
position was that the rumor was
groundless.
About the same time Colorado tried
to get some newspaper space for a
story that an ancient volcano some
where in the vgilds of the state showed
symptoms of acting funny. At least
the dispatches asserted that steam
could be seen issuing from a assure in
the mountains side; but that story. did
not get far either.
Recently yesuvius. over in Italy, has
made trouble. and about ten days ago
a prospector from up in Washington
said that Mount Rainier had acquired
the bad habit of smoking, but some
Of Ranier's friends sent out denial
The earthquake at San Francisco
brings to mind these various stories.
Is it possible that there was some
truth in them after all. and that they
may have been forerunners of the
earthquake? This would make a good
theory for people who indulge in such
things.
